| everybody is taken.
The question, however, is whether
! the administration will respond to an
overwhelming popular demand for
mo war; This question involves
also whether back i Jwn following
popular demand through plebiscitc
could be taken with honor and dig
nifty.
Suppose the efforts of Mr.. Bryan,
for instance-w:lo has advertised in
the newspapers asking fer refer
endum-and other organizations sue
ceed in bringing SO many letters and
kilograms to bear upon congress and
the president that they cannot he,p
being impressed with the force
their demands for peace?
This would not bring back ciplo-
matte relations with Germany; i.
would not cause that nation to cease
it's unlimited submarihings without
warning; it would rot change the in
ternational crisis one whit. And 10
follow the dictates Of srch popular
referendunl-pro the referen-
DUN were for peace at any price-the
president would be forced to change
front regarding our Interpretation IF
the entire submarine situation.
This would hardly be done. We
don't think the president, Judging
from his past statements, would con
slider it. The only thing of advan-
tage to peace probably would be that
the administration would be extreme
ly careful in interpreting covert
acts" It might even exercise such
extreme computations in this respect
that war would be unlikely unless a
vcritable Lusitania horror faced thu
country.
This, we take it, is til real posi-
bilitics of a peace propa ganda or ref
erendum. We are wiling to admit
that much will depend upon our in
depreciation OF each crisis, and that
if our interpretations are sufficiently
elastic, war will be that much more
difficult.

THE REAL QUESTION.

Limitation Of campaign expendi-
lures is championed CT a step towar
political purity.
Yet is the amount spent in poll
teal campaign the real question ?
And will nero limitation Of expendi-
ture meet the situation?
For instance, it is proposed to set
a maximum Of $1,000 fT senatorial
campaign. If that is enough in New
York, with a population of 9,113,273
it surely looks big for Nevada, with
just S1,S75 population. Or, converse
ly, if $4,000 is barely sufficient TO:
"education' the 1896 people OF
Wyoming, IS = enough for the 2,7Oo,-
SIG residents of Indiana?
The question should be, not, GLOW
much is spent?" but GLOW is the
money spent?"

LESSON FOR FARMERS.

The food riots in New York and
Brooklyn, and the menace Of food
shortage in several other big cities,
Chicago included, taken with the
figures that show shortage in potato
and other food crops constitute 4
lesson for the farmers Of the countrJ.
especially for those of the Pine Bluff
country.
These things teach that food IS
likely to be very scarce for the mex
year, and that the best thing tina.
farmers can do is to GROW SOME
THING TO EAT. This does not nee
essarily mean that farmers of this
section should not grow any cotton
at ALL 1t does mean, however, thai
it will be counting HARD TIMES tc
put all the farm in cotton, and d.
pend upon the high price obtained
for cotton to buy food and feed.
There is every reason to believe
that cotton will bring a good price
next fall, but there is also every req
son to believe that FOOD PRICES
WILL BE PROPORTIONATELY
HIGHER THAN COTTON PRICES.
1t will not cost the farmers of the
Pine Bluff country any more than i.
ever did to grow food and feed crops.
Consequently it would be the height
of business folly for item to depend
on their cotton money TO buy all thew
must have to eat,
Everything tends TO indicate thai
a bale of cotton will buy less food
next year than it did last year, or the
year before, and thu purchasing
power of cotton, or money, or labo"
or any other thing is what really
counts.
Statistics show that the same kim!
CT living costs twice as much today
as it did in 1896. Therefore, the mai
who received 500 a month in 1896
was better off than til, man who is
receiving $3.50 month today.
FOOD is GOING TO BE VERY
SCARCE. The sensible thing to do i,
to grow as much of il as possible or

ly for money with which to buy need
that the farm cannot produce, and fol

PRESS COMMENT.
A KING IN THE MELTING POT.

John Sobieski, lineal descendant Of
that King John III. of Poland, who
wrote his name in history with
flaming sword, long citizen Of Mis-
souri,, but now living in. Los Angeles,
would spurn the crown hi; fathers
wore. There being no doubt Of his
royal descent, and hardly less doubt
that an autonomous buffer state in
Guiding part of the old Polish king
dom will be erected after the close Of
the war, John Sobicski has been
asked if he would accept a crown if
offered.
His answer was that Of first-rate
American, Il am against kings and
Kingdoms" he said. 81 come of the
royal blood of Poland-yes-but when
| became an American citizen l s.wore
to renounce princes and potentates,
and that vow shall keep" We need
not despair of the melting pot. while
it can fuse the blood Of the scions of
the haughtiest race of monarchs Eu-
rope ever produced into our demo-
cratic society. Sobieski is only
another of many men of high birth
and breeding whose sympatnles have
run strongly toward larger liberty
and fuller life for all the children of
men. These have been SO many In
history that they cannot be called ex-
ceptioEs proving a rule, and, in al
most every such instance, the man has
been Of a quality to make his sword,
or his intellect, or both, serve the
ends of human progress.
1t is not with this man, case OF
the fox and the sour grapes. While
1t is not likely that the old Polish
dynasty will be restored in any Pc
land the powers res.urrect, nothing is
surer than that John Sobieski would
not trade his American citizenship
for crown. His American citizen
ship is to him a more precious thing
than royal rank, because he himself
has won it. Enlisting in the federal
army when little more than boy he

BUILDING GIANT FLY TRAPS
Schoolboys Make Device Which VIII
Catch Half a Million Disease
Spreaders In Season.

Fly traps that will catch 100000, or
so quarts of flies in season will be
built this spring by some Of the boys
in the Grand avenue manual train
ing center. Irving p. Lorentz, the in
structor, is making model, and will
soon have some of the boys construct
ing the device as side line, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Journal.
A square framework is made of mar
row strips Of wood, and within the
frame is placed a cone of wire net
ting. In the model of Mr.. Lorentz an
ordinary glass jar is used in place of
the wooden frame. A banana peel or
similar refuse Is placed as q bait at
the bottom of the trap. When the
trap is crowded with flies, they can be
killed by dipping the filed trap into
boiling water.
THE idea Is excellent" Mr.. Lorentz
said. "The construction is simple, so
that seventh or eighth grade boys
should easily be able to make 1t. AT
the same time it is inexpensive, the
cost of materials probably not exceed
ing so cents. If all the centers encour-
aged the making of these traps, 1t
would prove most effective weapon
against the fly. Such trap would kill
off the flies before they even got into
the homes"

at once recruited to war strength.

Headquarters Southeastern Depart

"The Commanding Officer, First Ten.

War department authorizes nation.

ice to recruit to maximum strength.
Act accordingly. Needed arms, equip

send the First Tennessee regiment to
the firing line in France as soon as it
is deemed properly trained and

Photographers were forbidden to
take pictures Of the scenes incident to
the dedicatory services at st. Paul's
cathedral In honor of the entry of the
United States into the war, fact
which has aroused the indignation Of
newspapers and photographers. Press
photographers who attended the cere-
monies were placed on their honor not
to take pictures of any feature of the
service, either inside or outside st.
Paul's cathedral. The only picture Of
the king and queen was secured by
an amateur photographer who was
concealed behind chimney on the
roof of building along the parade
route.
