CUTTING THREE WAYS.

charge being heard in tine cam Taign is that the laws against gam bling and "bootlegging' are not ell. forced. This is a three-edged sword that cuts the county and township of ficials as well as those of the >ity, a. whom t is evidently aimed.
 The Graphic has reason to believs that the anti-gambling laws are be- ing violated. but ii is frank to admit tEat t would be unable to uroduce sufficient proof to obtain dpnviction.
 It is easy enough to make a charge but sometimes it is earned difficult to substantiate it. That some citi- lzens, at least realize this, seems ev:- dent from the fact that nothing in tn. way of assistance has come to the county, township Or city officials iron, the citizens law enforcement meet ing held several months ago. Ani this, despite the welcome ad,orded by the officials to the promise of assist Fance
 If anyone in Pine Bluff believes tha. the anti gambling and the anti-liouo- laws are being flagrantly violated he jmust condemn all the officials: ho can't distinguish.

Get All the Sleep You Can.

A well-known physician says in the American Magazine: ITO avoid over- eating and alcohol and the cigarette habit are matters of self-control. To get the sleep one needs (which means all that one can possibly soak into ones system within A hours) often takes courage-the courage to refuse invitations. to invite ridicule. to seem odd or 'Puritanic.' believe that more minor illnesses are due to lack of sleep than to any other recognizable factor. A person catches cold, gets lumbago. is constipated or headache ridden be- cause his vitality is below par, his physical expenditure beyond his phys ical income. Sleep would set him square with the world, but to get sleep means sacrificing the evenings fun. This he won't do, and So he runs in debt and is chemically edging toward a breakdown"

Victorious But Conquered.

Victories are often purchased at great cost. Sometimes the victory be- comes a defeat. What tickles the na- tional fancy may drive men to ex- tremes but the extremes may bring consequences little dreamed of. In tue midst of the celebrations of vic tory the collapse of power may begin. No nation is so dangerously near ca- lamity as it is in the moment of its triumphs. Then it is that the bars oi restraint are lowered and follies eaper in the guise of festive heralds of greatness. One can't rise and by ris- ing tamper with principles. No man can ever get above his honor and re- main worthy of himself. The fact that you rise is evidence that you will need all your powers to keep you in high station.

 The president has given the nation something to think about, to discuss to weigh in the scales of public opin- ion. And let no man come to any conclusion before knowing the facts and arguments on botl sides.
 We write this from an entirely un- biased and non-partisan standpoint We feel that joining of hands in . wOrldpeace league-and assuming 2 tt ereby the obligations of war pos s bility-is too important a thing |, consider with the mind Of the polit.- clan.

THE PRESIDENTS NEW
 PEACE PLAN

"The question upon which the whole future and policy of the world depends is this Is the present wa q struggle for just and secure peads or only a new balance of power?"
 The foregoing words, from Presi- dent Wilson's address to the senate Monday, epitomize the Ameriohn atti- tude to the great war.
 Previously the president had asked both sets of belligerents what the,' were fighting for, and both replied in seneralities. There was nothing more left to do but to speak further on the subject if the president deemed this nation should have voice in the set tiement of the world p,ace. And this the president did in a speech that lief. no room for doubt.
 There are two fundamental declara lions on which the president bases his entire peace program: He be- ieves that this nation wishes tn. ca lamitous warfare stopped on terms that are just in principle to all bel Hgerents; and he wishes peade to be enduring, with no dangers lurking as g result toward the peaceful develop ment of the United States and the Americas.
 And to attain these ends. he is will ing that the United States shall enter a world league to enforce peace not now. while the present war is still being fought, but later, so that the peace that may come might be en. forced with the weight of our power Tn conjunction with the other nations belonging to the league.
 The president realizes that this sug sestion will be violently opposed by many of his fellow citizens. The words of Washington, that the nation shall not enter into "entanglng alliances" :" have reverberated :, xough the corri- aors of time sinde the revolution. and Americans as a rule are inclined to bank upon their wiSaon, with tha fenacity that they cling to the const,. tuition.
 Therefore, in order 10 forestal, some of the criticism of this plan. in, president clearly enunciates the prin- ciple that league to enforce peace would not be an "entangling alliand.p IT the sense understood during Wash lngton's day. In fact, the president goes further and declares that "all;- ances' such as are fighting for su- premacy in Europe today are 10 b, condemned as merely instruments that lead to warfare on huge scale
 The world peace league must he so ail-embracing, he says in substance that no one nation. however powerful os itself could defy it.
 The world peace lea sue idea is on.. on which action will qome slowly. !

"kronstadt."

An interesting legend is told con- corning the origin of the name of the city of Kronstadt. The old town hall is supposed to stand on the spot where golden crown was found in the stump of tree in 1904. The royal emblem was believed to have remained hidden here for more than 100 years. It was identified as having belonged to King Solomon of Hungary. who concealed it lest it fall into the hands of the pursu- ing Bulgarians. Hence the name, Kron Stadt.

As to Brain Food.

The more brains man has the more he is in need of brain food though not necessarily the kind he would take in through his mouth. That is, the best kind of food for the brain is the kind we put into the brain in- stead of the stomach. There isn't much use to take food for the brain we haven't got, anyway.
