THEOLOGY.

In olden times Ireland was heavily
timbered, but reckless waste stripped
it of it's trees until now it is the
most treeless country in Europe. The
people of Ireland were not enriched
by the value of the timber and they
never got the benefit of the wood.
The same sore of foolishness has
been going on in our country for sew
eral generations. Once trees were one
of our biggest national resources.
They have been slashed from much
of our endless domain, and in their
places we have some families "who
got their money in the lumber bust
ness"
!. Of course, standing trees probably
never did anybody any good and they
may as we'll have been cut into timber.
But we have more cyclones in Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa and Oklahoma than
we used to have and the spring
freshets are not held back by vast
forests as in days of yore, so that we
have periodical floods that destroy
much property quite regularly and
menace life.
The spirit of unbridled commercial
ism that runs counter to public inter
est was. illustrated in Indiana recent
ly. A place called turkey Rum"
which is heavily wooded and favor
lite place for recreation, was to be
solds, A collection was taken by cit
liens to buy it for the state. They
were outbid, however, and the beauti-
full place was sold to lumber COM
pany.
For the love of Mike, let's give all
our water-power streams away
which is already being homeland the
national forests over to the "lumber
kings" give all the mining rights on
government land to Mr.. Guggenheim,
give all remaining public lands to
some poverty Wall street
corporation, quit regulating the rail
roads, and let's all go to either Mexico
or Haiti

sons and remedies fer certain exist

In the twenty-five States which
produce most OF the perishable prod
ucts, the grain, and the cotton OF this
country there are 2,5OO.0O0 tenant
farmers. In the last ten years in
.ieNas and Oklahoma the percentage
of increase in tenant farmers over
the increase in land-owning farm
ers has been two to one. In Ala
hanna, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia,
Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi. South
Carolina, Missouri. Kentucky, In
dana, Nebraska, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and California there
has been an increase since 1880 of
994,36l tenant farmers, while land
owning farmers have increased only
6W,755. In Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
tenant farmers have increased by
121,l67, while the number of home
owning farmers have decreased by
62,o15.
This is alarming for the rural
communities when we consider that
or;t Of 2.354.676 tenant farmers in
tl,e United States at the time of the
last census, 2.1S8,5S6 were found in
tll.ss twenty-five states.

George B. Cox of Cincinnati, who
died recently, rose from bootbiack,
newsboy and butcher boy. In the
last interview he gave to the public,
he attributed his financial success to
his early habits of thrift. He said:
From the very first I knew what
poverty meant. and for that very
reason ! began to save small
amounts every week.
"The first $1,000 I ever possessed
l saved in small amounts. 1t took
years to do it, and it was the hard
est money I ever earned, but it
taught me the value of saving, for
with it / got my start in life.
"When grew too big to self pa
pers / became a butchers boy at S.

driver, and after I had saved a nest
egg l became salesman"
A few years ago his wealth was
estimated at from 100000 to S.
100000.

One reason the Associated Press is
such a great news service and is de-
pended upon implicitly is because of
its accuracy and fairness. Some news
services have no use at all for facts;
others do not object to facts when
they can get them, but proceed in the
theory that facts are not essential.
The Associated Press takes interest in
nothing except facts, as again indl-
Gated by this special order, distribut
ed over the Associated Press wires
Thursday night:
"New York, June 1.-The revival of
political activity attendant upon the
approach of the national campaign
prompts me to call your attention to
the necessity that the greatest posi-
bic care be exercised to render the
service of the Associated Press eff
ent and non partisan. Under no cir
cumstances must correspondent suf-
fer himself to be betrayed into any
expression of opinion which may be
construed as making for or aaginst
any political party or faction. There
are general rules applicable alike to
all parties and well understood by all
in authority in the association, and it
is imperative that these rules be
closely observed to the end that the
report of the Associated Press shall
at all times present fair, truthful
and wholly impartial story of each
event transporting. The honor of the
general manager and every other en-
ploye is involved in the strict observ-
ance of these rules.
IN. E. STONE,
General Manager, the Associated
Press"
The Graphic relies on the Associat-
ed Press for it's reports of the world S
news, and its readers are therefore
assured of accurate, uncalored, COM

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

According to report of the federal
bureau of animal industry, ga per cent
of the nations creameries are unsani-
tary; 81 per cent of the products of
cream are unclean or decomposed; 70
per cent of the cream made into but
ter contains virulent disease germs; a
large part of the cattle on farms and
ranges are afflicted with tuberculosis.
1t is such reports as this one that
makes one wonder how it is possible
TO stay alive. The standard set by
this bureau must be so high it is virtu-
ally unattainable.

strangers who have never been here
before. Others come here regularly
from the county, where they do their
trading and meet old friends.
We often wonder what strangers
really think of Pine Bluff? Does it
appear attractive? Do the people
they meet on the streets give them a
good impression? Are the streets and
back lots such as to stir their admira-
ton.
Or are we just an Ordinary town

OF course, we think it's "better
than the ordinary town."

FAKE REMEDIES" ADVERTISED.

No doubt some of the medicines
advertised are fakes, but these never
have any contrast to the good old
standard, dependable remedies, like
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

has been alternating the suffering of
womankind. Such medicines are a
blessing to the community and will
continue their good work from one

GONE men are born to fame and others
- are not. Consider the case OF Patrick
Moran, the mandarin Of the Phillles.
Last season Sir Patrick took charge of a
ball club that was supposed to be wrecked,
ball club that had been shorn of stars as
a lamb is shorn in the harvesting season
for wool.
with this club, his first year out, Moran
won pennant.
Was he a hero or a miracle MANI Moth
ing of the sort. lie was merely Pat Moran,
pretty lucky to win in a season where his
rivals had been weakened by Fed. inva-
sions
It was an off.year. Therefore Moran
won. Such at least, was the widespread
verdict.
Then we come to 1916. The National
League has been bolstered to It's old
strength. Any number of critics were pick.
ing the Phlllies to finish in the second d.
vision. Few gave them better finish than
third or fourth. Chalmers and Mayer, win
ners last season, were out of gear Demaree
got a slow start And how many have you
heard talking of the wonderful strength of
the Philly infield with Luderus, Nehoff,
Bancroft and Stock? How many were say
ing the Phils had the best outleld in the
league-or one of the best? Outside of
Alexander, how many stars were toilng in
Philly harness?
Yet here in September is Moran again
still in the hunt, plodding along, holding his
machine intact.
In speaking of fine managers you hear a
lot about Stallings, McGraw, Mack, Jones,
Jennings and others. You don't hear very
much about Moran. But make no mistake
on this account With the material at hand
no leader in either league has done better
or NJ N f0r
cess. Which is the answer.
Nerve Strains and Such
You hear quite a bit about the nervous
strains attending football. baseball and
tennis. Or boxing.
But any one who has been around n golf
championship with qualifying round In
progress will be able to look upon the
greatest nerve strain in all sport.
For in all other games you soon have the
rush of physical effort, which has n strong
tendency to drive this nervous strain from
the system. There are aids that attract the
attention elsewhere.
But In golf 1t Is q cold and pltiless beat
Ing down of nervousness, where there Is no
physical rush-no distracting side lines,
nothing to think about except mistakes
few visions ahead except yawning bunkers
and abysmal traps. bringing on a nervous
strain under which we have seen fine foot
ball players and fine baseball players crack
with detonation to be heard against the
sky.
