One excuse given for delay in com plying with the petition of taxpayers for increase in the meagre pay of policemen is that it is desired to ascertain whether the new municipal court may not prove expensive to the city The municipal court will, in all probability, prove more of a revenue producer for the city than the present police court. It is strange, however, that no one thought of this possible burden before voting an increase in the salary of the mayor. The city managership of Pine Bluff should pay $3,O0O year. and Mayor Blooms ser vices are worth that to the commun- ity, but it is also true that police men working IF to IA hours day, 30 days a month, are worth more than $6O a month each, especially at the present low value of money.

HOT SPRINGS RACES
 ATTRACT BIG CROWDS
Capt. K. R. Rice Rendered Position
 of Honorary Associate Judge by Racing Association.

Reports from Hot Springs are 10 the effect that all records are being broken by the attendance at the races which opened there March 2, and that never, in the palmiest days of the sport, before the tracks were made idle by legislative action, has there been such high class sport nor such enthusiasm on the part of the spec tators.
 The reports say, also, that by far the greater number of the visitors are from this section of the country, all though there is very great number of visitors from the, North and East. It is already predicted that the sea son will be the most successful in the history of Hot Springs, and that tt will be an incentive to the beginning of an important stock raising indus try in this state.
 Capt. R. R. Rice of Warner, one of the pioneers of the state, and who has always been keen and enthusiastic lover of thoroughbreds, has been rendered the position of honorary as- .sociate judge at the Hot Springs meeting as token df the respect felt for him by the horsemen generally and as courtesy. His reply has not Yet been received.

THE COOPER FAMILY.

A friend at Humphrey of the fami- ly of c. M. Cooper, who recently re- moved to Pine Bluff from Humphrey, writes, The Graphic the following tribute to the family, especially to Mrs. Cooper:
 'The family of MT. ,. M. Cooper IS held in the highest esteem here," says the.

DEMOBILlzING OUR ARxY.

In the midst of international diff ferences we are bringing our citizen soldiery-the national guard-from the Mexican border and are demobi- Hzing it.
 This certainly should convince the kaiser that we are not war-ike!
 In the midst of trouble of the na- ture weighting us down for the last three weeks, no other nation on earth would have treated it's army like we are doing.
 Calling the "boys' home and mus tering them out.
 On the other hand, our entire na- tional guard amounts to so little in numbers that it will really make little difference whether thev are at home or under tents.
 ! Throughout two years of agitation, the nation hasn't made an effective step toward getting together a decent army-regular or citizenry. We are about where we were in 1914. Con- gress has debated, argued and looked wise and seemed otherwise; but for all practical purposes our defenses on land have not kept pace with ouf talk. If we don't enter the war, the na- lion may expect something tangible 1n connection with military defense about the year 1920.
 Maybe not then. There's no money h soldering.
