WICKERSH.lM LOSING STRENGTH

DISPATCHES today indicate that the voters of the Territory are slowly but surely swinging toward Mir. SulzeT for Delegate to Congress. If the cleo tion could have been held two months ago Mr. Wickcrsham would have car ried the Territory by q handsome plurality. Today he is a beaten man. His attitude on the halibut question his vicious attacks against the Alas kan Road Commission in communities where their work was known and ap- proved, his attempts to line up So- cialists. Progrcssivcs and the dis gruntled element, his evasion of the GuggeD helm and steamship tariff questions, his utter disregard for the truth in his statcments,-all have worked to his undoing and strength ened his opponent.
 Another feature which is working strongly against the Delegate is the fact that he has held the office eight years, and many of his initial prom ises remain thrilled. For instance the harbor at Nome, he Junead bond ing question, and many others. Many of the old timers who have voted for Wickersham until it became a habit are breaking away from the Delegate They believe he has held office long enough. They are not in favor oi making his tenure of the Delegateship life job.
 Also the Delegates failure to make the trip to the Interior worked him incalculable harm in the many camps along the creeks. His reception at the camps along the railroad is said to have been so cool that the Delegate became discouraged and returned to Cordova. Fairbanks also has had q rod in pickle for Mir. Wickersham over his futile attempts to block the Road Commission appropriation, and his ceaseless attempts to injure the work done by this body. So strong did this opposition become, that the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce was forced to wire the Delegate that his obstructive tactics were injuring the city, and demanding that he cease his unwarranted attacks upon the Valdez Fairbanks trail.

ILLICIT DISTILLING INCREASES

In 1914, Wm. H. Osborn. Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue. in his an nual report, page 29. under the head ing of Revenue Agents said in part:
 "Bootlegging is principally carried on in States operating unlocal prolli- bition laws, and appears to be one of the hardest propositions that revenu" officers are called upon to solve. This class of violatOrs is at no time sta tionary, but move from place tn place. offering and selling their wares. Ii is impossible, owing to the limited number of revenue officers in the iield, to break up this practice entirely and without the hearty cooperation of the local and State authorities, it is be- lieved that the conditions will grow no better. As the various States vote dry" the operations of the bootlegger grow larger"
 In the report of this same Com iuiSSIOHci lOl oh po6t '~ wv again, under the heading, Revenue Agents" we read as follows:
 "The business of the moOnshiner in whiskey in the Southern States. from the number of illicit distillerics re- ported seized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915. appears to te increasing"
 Then, after giving the names of the persons killed in connection with the capture of "moOnshiners" the Com missioner goes on to say:
 There does not appear to be any abatement respecting the illegal sale of liquors by 'bootleggers.' Many re ports are received in this bureau from the lawabiding elements thru out the country. reciting conditions as to illegal sales of liquors in the vari ous localities by bootleggers and ask ing this bureau to assist them ir stamping out the conditions complain ed of. These conditions are largely brought about by failure of local of ficers to enforce the provisions of the State laws governing the manufacture and sale of liquor"
 So with our nineteen "dry" States we have no particular occasion to b, gay, and when the cold facts which appear above are permitted to sink in. any fair-minded individual must ad- init that prohibition does not prohibit whether 1t is in Tennessee or m Rus sia, or any place where the public will not support such law. The internal revenue receipts of the United States Government show that the drinking of beer, wine and whiskey is steadily increasing until today the three great industries engaged in making these products are paying over one-third of the total cost of our National Govern ment-an amount rapidly approach ing the half billion mark.
 We hear so much talk of the power of the Anti-SaloOn league and the strength of the "dry" territory that 1t is worth while to remember that the wet majority is twice that of the dry. Adv.

There has been handed to this Grand Jury 8 copy of a bill known as the Alexander bill. now before Congress and the Senate. This body wishes most emphatically to express their disapproval of the passage of this bill, for the following reasons:
 First, on account of it's placing the entire control of the fishing industry in the hands of the Federal Govern ment, thereby taking the power to tax the real and personal property and the output of the several canneries operating in Alaska away from the Territorial Government. where we think it rightfully belongs. Should this bill be passed and become a law that part of it which gives to any one

n INE BLUFF
 RoaREss ; ROSPERITY
GENEROUS PINE BLUFF.

Speaking candldly, we grow im- p:tient with Pine Bluff at tines This is when we consider with what u1plahcnce it accepts snsauitarg conditions; caralessness in the dis pcsal,M refuse and garbage; thaanght ] lessness of it's peopletMho Keep cows and ether live stock in the. city;sHde-. fiance of rules of sanitation and good breeding and city ordinances pro- hibiting splitting on the sidewalks, and numerous other thoughtless acts which make the city what it is in stead of the city it ought to be.
 But great, warm glow fills us when we think of the city's greatest virtue-chariy. Was ever Pine Bluff appealed to in bshalf of worthy cause that it did not respond prompt ly and generously? No.
 During the past week, more than $1O,O0O was pledged to the Y. M. c. A., and only little while ago, the sum of $3.0O0 was pledged to the As sociated Charities. In the meantime, generous contributions have been made to aid other worthy causes and distressed individuals.
 It is doubtful if there is com munity of similar size in the entire country that responds as often and as literally to appeals in behalf ot charity as Pine Bluff.
 Pine Bluff people are not perfect and we do grow impatient with them at times, but of them this must be said:
 They are the biggest-hearted, kind Hest, i1i2st generous folk in the coun, try, when it comes to giving.

Why all these special attorneys for the state? Troy Pace, law partner f Attorney y-General Davis, last week collected a fee of 1000 from $11,50) paid as inheritance tax by the K. A. Little estate. And he collected it in cash, not state warrants. This was a reasonable fee, if there was any work attached to the collection of the tax, and this is not intended as criti- clsm of MT. Pace for "gettin' his." Eut business administration of the states affairs would let it's legal de partment handle these matters, and mere of the money paid in taxes would go into the state treasury. It is time politicians learned that public funds are not intended to be split entirely for their benefit; that the comm should have a look-in occasionally.

AN ESSENTIAL OF MARRIAGE.

When bashful swain asks a b.ithesome lass for her hand in mar riage, the girl may love the fellow with all her heart and soul, but
 Nine eases cut of ten she wants to know if he has the wherewithal to fcot the bills.
 Love is blind to everything but the common sense about money.
 The girl who marries rich man usually is thought to have had a better lcve affair than the girl who marries poor lran. At least at the beginning. Of course, it takes time tc really tell. But. as general principle. monetary considerations are not entirely absent regarding marriage.
 For instance, the swain who would be comp He'd to admit to his lady love that he was cut of job, had no money, and no means of accum. llating any, might retain her lovs sometimes. but the chances are; slin tlist sahere would be an :, immediat' Asirriage, S.

HAYS TO SPEAK FEBRUARY 4TH.
To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson
 County:

To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson
 County:
 On the goth instant l wrote each ol my two opponents that immediately after the close of the Desha Circuit Court, this week, I would begin an active campaign for the nomination for Prosecuting Attorney of the Elev- enth Judicial District, and invited each of them to join me in joint dis cussion of any issues that might arise. On the 22d, Mr. Shaw advised that he would be glad to engage in such campaign, provided MT. Par ham should agree to such a course.
 To date I have not been favored with a reply from MT. Parham. So, believing that, having once outlined course of procedure, it would be folly to detour therefroni, without good and sufficient reasons, have de- cided to open this campaign in the city of Pine Bluff, at 7:90 o'clock on the night of February 4, at the Jef- fersQn County Court House; and l again invite my opponents to join me- Especially do 1 invite the ladies, and Hon. w. B. Sorrells, Judge of the Eleventh Judicial District.
 At this speaking 1 shall review the record of our present Prosecuting At torney and answer the card that ap- peared in The Graphic over his sigma ture, under date of January 16.

Assessed Land Values.

Little Rock, Jan. 29-One of the re- markable instances of the disparity in real estate assessments has been not
 ed in Fulton county. Land on the Arkansas side of the state line is assessed at an average of $3 an acre, and the tax rate is $2.20 on the hun dred. Just across the line in Mis- souri, with only an imaginary bound ary between, the land is assessed at s2S an acre, and the tax rate is S7 cents on the $lG0. The Arkansas land, therefore, pays taxes at the rate
 Of 66 cents an acre, while the rate in Missouri is 25.S6 cents an acre. This is proof of the fact that there is
 still a great work to be accomplished by the assessors and tax commissions.

He was wide awake, indus.i trious, "a hustler" and, he says Every dollar that earned l saved, not that really loved money. l have often been asked to define the true secret of success. It is thrift in all its phases, and principally, thrift as applied to saving. A young man nay have many friends, but he will find none so steadfast, SO constant, sol ready to respond to his wants, sol capable of pushing him ahead, as a, little leather covered book, with the name of bank on its cover"
 Let. those young men bent upon spending every cent consider the .prin3 ciples that guided Sir Thomas Lipton up the pathway of success, who bel cause of his thrift in the beginning of his business career was enabled to indulge his passion for yacft-racingI something the thriftless young manl no matter how much he desires td cultivate q "hobby" will never be able to succeed. atG.

The Woman and the Hog.

The relative value of a woman and hog was illustrated in Wisconsin recently. A woman wrote to the gov ernor that she had large family to support and was suffering with tu- berculosis and desired state aid. About the same time letter was re- ceived from a man who desired aid for hog which showed symptoms of cholera. The governor sent word to the woman that no appropriation had been made for tuberculosis victims. and at sa|re time man was hurried ,y dispatched with a supply of cholera serum to the rescue of the hog. This incident tells it's own story without further comment
