Offensive Prosperity

we are accommodating most of the
troubles of the world. These are the
words used by General Wood.
He alludes to the well advertised feel
ing of hostility on the part of the Euro
pean comhatant nations toward us. Ger
many and Austria hate us, we are told.
because we are making money ON their
necessity. Both sides fear that we viii
gobble up the world markets while their
backs are turned; while they are fight
ing the Yankees will run away with
what they were fighting for.
II seems clear enough that we are sow
ing a crop of resentment and envy. that
we are preparing feeling abroad that
will dispose the nations of Europe and
Asia TO be glad of an excuse to attack
us, If they have any strength left after
they are through attacking each other
But we are stupidity Blind to the causes
that lead to this hostile sentiment, and to
the means by which We can obviate it.
The cause is nothing more nor less
than a policy of national selfshness. We
follow helplessly the same Machiavelian
principles that have always governed
states. We assume that nations must be
greedy, egoistc trucuent and non
moral
As matter Of fact, altruism and good
manners are as necessary between states
as between individuals
The trouble is that statecraft is barren
Of high ideals It is on a plane that is
low coarse and brutal.
Once and again President Wilson has
endeavored 70 inject a little nobleness
into international affairs, as when he
has alluded to our duty to humanity as
paramount to our duty to our own ma
tion, but he has not been able to stem
the overwhelming current of low selfish
ness that dominates American politics.
We snarl at England over our rights
of neutral commerce. and contend with
Germany that while she is assassinating
English women and children she must be
careful not to hurt Americans with her
torpedoes
The whole spectacle is sordid and
shameful
What politics needs is an ideal,
great, constructive inspiring vision. an
aim worthy OF twentieth century people.
There is but one such ideal, but one
such aim as would lift US from the ruck
~ vulgarity, unite our people in magnif-
cent purpose. and al once disarm the
Jealous resentment Of Europe and APP
peal 20 All the peoples Of earth.
1t is the IDEA World Unity, the FEEDER
alton Of All Nations, in the establish
ment Of one International Tribunal to do
away with war forever.
The United States alone is able to adj
vance this proposition now and to press
1T home TO the world SO doing We should

zens of earth We should start the New

This editorial is written for Democrats

1t is written for the majority which

row Wilson indorsed for president by the
party in the state, but which could not
get him Endorsed because the minority
would not stand for it.
This majority was impotent and help
less because the minority was in control
of the convention, and the minority had
pledged the party expression to nobody
in particular, but to anybody But VIII
son.
The majority sentiment in the party
was overridden and the best il could ac-
complish against these few bosses was
an uninstructed delegation 10 Baltimore.
The ringleader of this minority of
Democrats, this bunch of self-appointed
bosses is Edwin 0. Wood, who was elected
national committeeman by the same con-
vention which WOULD NOT indorse
Wilson.
Wood is candidate for reelection to
this important party office.
He hasn't the convention system to
help him put it over this time-he has
to fight for his place in the open.
And to get himself reelected he has
introduced a couplet that ought to pro-
duce a smile wherever Woods sympathies
and activities Of four years ago are
known.

You will note that Wood has deferred

The regular monthly meeting oi the trustses of the chamber of cons merce will be held today at nosn, at ahe Hotel Pines, and matters of more than ordinary importance are to be discussed.
 Perhaps the most important sua-' ject to be considered by the trustees will be the questions of urging that the federal government take steps ts permanently protect the river bank at Pine Bluff and especially in EaSt' Pine Bluff. It is believed the trub- tees will decide to send one or mofs, of their number to Washington. armed with facts and figures. to per; scnally submit to congress and fea-s tral authorities the great necessity of taking s.me action. at the earliest possible moment. s

NEGRO COMMITTEE 7 WORKING AMONG
 !. Fl FLOOD VICTIMS
Colore'i Men on Scene Dis tributing Supplies Pro-
 vided by Pine Bluff.

F'oodstuffs and provisions valued in the aggregate at about $200 will be shipped today to a. subcommittee at Gould, for distribution there among the negro refugees, by the Colored Relief committee of Pine Bluff, as the outcome of visit to that section by Rev. w. H. Polk, Rev. D. l.. Lind say and Rev. M. V. Ferguson, special committee representing the relief committee.
 The. special committee went to Grady Tuesday, and returned last ev- ening from Grady. The trip from Grady to Warner was made overland, the committee walking the distance, with the assistance of guide. En route, several refugees were met among them two women who were supplied with shoes, which they need ed. Tuesday night the committee re- mained at Warner. Wednesday morn ing they started for Gould in boat, but after getting into deep water the boat developed leak, and after much trouble and danger, the committee succeeded in getting it to bank. An other boat was obtained, in which the committee went to Cadeston.
 At .Cadeston, the committee found conditions much improved, and the refugees were getting back into their homes. They found the people of that section we'll cared. for, and in need of nothing at this time.
 From Cadeston, the committee went to Gould, where they found several hundred negro refugees ,huddled in gin houses and several other large buildings. Some of, the refugees had been compelled to leave their homes and chamber onto the rofs of their houses, only by knocking shingles off from the inside, the: water rising so rapidly no other. escape, could be made. Many remained on the roofs "A hours or longer, without food or,

CHERRY STREET WORK
 PROGRESSES STEADILY
Paving Complete on One Side of Gai Tracks as Far as Thirteenth
 Avenue.

Work of paving Cherry street is pr- gressing steadily, although not nearly so rapidly as had been miici- pat d. the recent spell of bad weather being partly 10 blame for this condi- ton.
 The concrete base and top surface has been laid on one side IS far as Thirteenth avenue. which section of ths street is open for traffic. The brick has been placed between the street car rails over nearly tae entire r,ute, between Sixth avnue ans Twenty-fcurth avenue, and the con7 crete base has been laid over a fair portion of the street.
 It is expected the entire street will be completed within the next three weeks or a month. by which time it is anticipated the commissioners for iosd improvement district No. 13 vii have ace pted plans and awarded tht contract for the building of the new road covered by the district. and which will extend out Cherry stree from Twentyfourth avenue to tht vicinity of ths new grounds of the Pine Bluff Golf & Country club.

New York, Feb. 9.-A switch from Hughes of New York to Burton of Ohio, for the Republican presidential nomination may be determined upon by the supporters of the former gov ernor of New York should the ,nomi- nation of Louis D. Brandeis for Unit ed State supreme court justice be con- firmed.
 This tip was given by a former Republican cabinet member who up to the day that President Wilson sent in Brandeis' name was an ardent pro- moter of the plan to draft Hughes:,'
 It followed informal conferences in this city among w. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, William Barnes, Jr., of New York, Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania and other avowed anti Roosevelt leaders, isGi The erstwhile member of President Taft's official family offered this ex- planation:
 "lt may be that President Wilson intended to put Hughes out of 1t for the Republican nomination when he nominated Brandeis for Justice La mars seat. If so. he has at least suc-. ceeded in creating great anxiety among those who have been of the, opinion that Hughes was the one man to defeat Wilson.
 "Brande1s is such an, antitheSis of Hughes that the great, business inter- ests will insist that Hughes stick to the bench if Brandeis becomes an as- spCiate justice." =
