Political Fcrecastcrs Busy.

Political prognosticators are busy
They are making a strong effort to
lineup the next senatorial contest, fol
1920 as well as 1918. The latest as
sault was made last week upon the
Robinson salient in the 1918 sector
According to this dope, Senator Rob-
inson will not be candidate for re-
election on account of his health. But
the friends Of Senator Robinson, who
is spending the summer in Colorado
are most emphatic in their denial of
the report, declaring that it is not
authorized, and insisting that Senator
Robinson is only taking needed rest
and that he will be in the running at
the proper time.
In the meantime, there is no dearth
of prospects, and the names of Con-
gresham Caraway, former Congress-
man G. c. Reid, former Governor Don
aghey, and Smead Powell are among
those most prominently mentioned for
Robinson's toga, while Judge w. F.
Kirby and Congressman Jacoway are
said to be in training for James P.
Clarke's seat. Past experience has
proven, however, that long distance
forecasts in politics as in weather may
safely be discounted about 80 per cent,
which will leave a reasonably fair
margin of safety.

We are not experts on skirts.
Whether some Of them are too high or

Candidates Are Numerous.
(Bv Clio Harper)

Little Rock, July 12.-Probably for
the first time in the history of Arkan-
sas, three school teachers have been
nominated by the political parties for
governor. 1t has been suggested that
this is keeping with the policy an
nounced by the Democratic party in
electing an educator president of the
United States. The school teacher at
last seems to be coming into his own.
They are to be given an opportunity
for the practical application of the
theories they have long been teaching
the youth of the country.
DR.. c. H. Brough, the Democratic
nominee, has been for several years a
member of the faculty Of the Univers-
ity of Arkansas, and resigned from
that institution to make the race in
which he achieved so great success
Wallace Townsend, of the Little
Rock bar, the Republican nominee, has
been practicing law for number Of
years, but he used to be a school
teacher and was for several years
principal of the Little Rock High
school.
At the state convention of the So
cialists held here last week, they fol-
lowed the lead of the dominant parties
and nominated school teacher, Will
liam Davis, of Amanda, Crawford
county.
1t has been announced that Mr..
Townsend will open his campaign at
Enola, Faulkner county, July Is. The
citizens Of that community have an
nounced that they will invite DR..
Brough to meet Mr.. Townsend. The
Democratic campaign committee, how
ever, have not made any announce
ment Of their attitude toward joint
canvass, but it is not probable that
there will be any.
"Why should the Democrats take it
upon themselves to drum up crowd
for the Republicans said one of the
Democratic leaders. The Democratic

FROM COUNTRY TO CITY.

There has been marked rush of
laborers to the shops and factories of
the cities. In some sections of the
country, notably the east, the lack of
farm help has become serious.
This is reversal of the "back to
the farm" movement. And in many
respects this is to be regretted.
Fundamentally, the farm industry
is the most important we have. The
lack of labor in the country may be-
come too serious for comfort later on.
Crops may be in danger of ruination,
as has occurred in the past. 1t is small
wonder, then, that farmers are begin
ming to talk about plans to conquer
the situation.
Conditions in Southeast Arkansas
are similar to those elsewhere Cor
respondents for newspapers constantly
send items mentioning the fact that
So and-so has left for the city,
"where he has well-paying job
Multiply such instances by the
hundreds of thousands and you have
some inkling of the drain from the
country to the city that has been going
on for practically a year.

MORE GO TO MOVIES
THAN TO CHURCHES

Chicago, July 12.-That more peo-
pie in the city of Chicago go to the
motion picture theatre than attend
church, was the statement made yes
terday by Mrs. Harriet Stokes Thomp-
son, former president of the Chicago
Political Equality league, in a report
to the delegates of the sixth annual
convention of the Motion Picture Ex-
hibitors' league of America. Mrs
Thompson declared her statement was
based on actual statistics.
The delegates debated why people
go to motion picture theatres when
the thermometers register 90 degrees
in the open air.
cts the nickel coupled with the TO-
mantle temperament of the people OF
today replied Harry L. Reichenback
of New York, in the answer which
was agreed to by all.
"The people today are 50 romantic,
he continued, that they make King
Arthur's courtiers look like old maids
at a picnic"
twenty-five million persons lally
visit the "movies" throughout the
United States, according 10 figures
made public today, in connection with
the convention. Other interesting
figures include the following:
Number of picture theatres in the
United States, 1900.
Amount invested in picture theatre
property, $360,O00,OO0.
Salaries paid weekly, 81 800, 800.
Number of picture theatre elf
ployes, 205 5000. " ~
Amount invested in film plants. ma

ETC., $2,O00,O00,O 1000.

hobble skirts, which chung to the legs
tightly. They created much innocent
amusement, helping to brighten life
with the laughter of onlookers.
But the girls wanted more than
laughs, so their skirts widened and ad-
vanced upward. They knew that men
wouldn't laugh at underpinning once
they saw it.
We advise nobody to get excited
about high skirts. Girls in Pine Bluff
have as much divine right to have
their fling as the rest Of them else
where.
We should be thankful that skirts
are no higher.

Seeking Big Conventions.

Arkansas is becoming a popular re-
sort for conventions of a national
character. On account of the vigor-
Gus campaign made by the representa-
tives of Arkansas women's club at the
New York meeting, it is probable that
the 1918 biennial of the Arkansas
Federation of Women's clubs will be
held at Hot Springs, with one day in
Little Rock.
Another national meeting which is
being planned is that of the National
Editorial association, which has been
invited to meet in Little Rock in 1916.
The invitation was extended by Erwin
Funk and Frank N. Henderson, dele
gates to the convention recently held
in New York. The 1917 meeting is to
be held in Minneapolis, the 1918 meet
ing in Miami, Fla, and the 1920 meet
ing in Boston. This leaves the 1919
meeting open, and Mr.. Henderson and
Mr.. Funk consider the prospect for
success to be most flattering. Many
of the delegates expressed themselves
as anxious to come to Arkansas for
one of the sessions, as many of them
have never been in the state.
There were about $50 delegates
present at the New York meeting and
they were most literally entertained.
Excursions might be arranged to Hot
Springs and other interesting points
in the state that would make the con-
vention one Of unique interest to the
press Representatives of the United
States.

Science, with all it's triumphs in re-
search in the world of micro-organ-
isrns, has been unable to isolate the
bacillus that is responsible for infan-
tile paralysis, now epidemic in some Of
the great centers at this season. The
organism is known to exist and it is
set down as the minutest of all dis
case breeding germs in the human sys-
tenn, SO minute that it is able to pass
through the pores of stone pitcher,
and yet, when finding the proper sur
roundings, able to create havoc to the
nerve and brain centers of the patient.
1t is infectious; some believe con-
tagious.
The bacteriologist is searching for
this bacillus as keenly and laboriously
and with something of the same aloof
ness to worldly things as the astrono-
mer searches the skies for a new
planet OF the explorer undergoing
hardships innumerable seeking an I'M
discovered continent or inlet that has
not been trodden before by man. The
laboratories of the Rockefeller and of
the Carnegie Institutes look upon this
search as the most important left to
them in tie field of preventable dis
eases. The federal government has
ordered all it's health staffs to dig and
investigate ard query the nation until
the organism has been located. The
one who succeeds will go down in
history.
This disease is gaining rapidly in
this country every year. 1t has BAT
fled the medical world and the bacteri
ologist and will continue to do so until
the fortunate Investigator is able to
distinguish the germ and isolate it and
mark it, after which the rest will be
easy-the discovery of an anti-toxin.
The bacteria of infantile paralysis,
in common with most germs, thrive on
filth; they hate clearly surroundings.
Physicians advise sanitation and un-
usual care of the child in the summer
months. The food of the child must
be carefully guarded and where the
disease is prevalent it is we'll to keep
a healthy child removed from danger
of infection.
