Where Women Have Indirect Influence
Only

Where Women Have Indirect Influence
Only
II a year ago last October the women
Of New Jersey had won the vote, they
alone would be held responsible by the
ants for the present conditions in the
Trenton State Prison.
If everything that goes wrong in
suffrage states is due to the votes OF
women, why is not everything that
goes wrong in other states due to the
indirect influence of women?
If the indirect influence is so potent,
why Is it never held responsible?
We should like to know from the
New Jersey Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage why it IS the prison
conditions can be so terrible in a state
where angels and queens exercise their
highest power.
Didn't the indirect influence work?
Or didn't the ladies who possess 1t
take enough interest to use It?

WAR AND PROGRESS.

America has not sought after war or hurried into war; and America will now wage war with all the better spirit and all the greater effective ness for three years of patient re straint.
 Was is, after all, not the supreme evil. On the contrary, the records of history indubitably show that through war, humanity has steadil, advanced to greater heights of prog. ress. There is no great step in the worlds development that has no been preceded by. and, indee l brought about by, an era of war
 This is an old, old world. It was old when man first set foot upon it Through ages recorded only in thu rocks, it had been shaping itself fo! mans inhabitation ;and through ages

PATRIOTISM THAT COUNTS.

Pine Bluff banks subscribed to S150,00O of the treasury certificates to be issued by the United States government to provide two billions of the seven billion dollars war fund These certificates will pay per cent per annum interest, but when the local bankers subscribed they were under the impression that they would get only 21a per cent. Secr,. tary McAdoo's announcement that the certificates would bring 8 per cent instead of 21a per cent, was made after the local bankers had taken $152,oOO worth.
 This is the kind of patriotism that counts. Because it was purely from patriotic motives that the local banks subscribed to the government loan, 5 per cent being no induce ment for men who can get as much as and 10 per cent for their money
 It is this spirit, backed by the im- mense wealth of the United States, that makes this country the most Formidable enemy a foreign nation could create.

MUST FIND THE SOLUTION.

The coming of war has at least one advantage; it ends the debate on un- preparedness. Whatever our views as individuals, it is now up to us all to join hands in vindicating America.
 We have all known individuals who perplexed themselves with serious questions; who debated within them selves long and uninterruptedly yn, could find no solition Yet, hurled suddenly from their fancied security these same men have answered these same questions in emergency, in ths twinkling of an eye-yes, and have answered them right.
 It's just the same with America.
 From the question Of preparedne $ or unpreparedness. we are now ad vanced to the stage where there is nc longer question, and orly one answer action, quick, decisive, effective We must do the right thing and do f now, if America is to play her pay in this contest.

OPPORTUNITY ONCE MORE KNOCKS HERE.

Efforts are being made by the Pine Bluff citizens to have the officials ot the Arkansas Light and Power com pany, which recently acquired con- trol of the Pine Bluff company, es- tabiish headquarters here for the 9 public utilities corporations this com pany operates in Arkansas, and there is indication that these efforts will be successful.
 Besides being the largest city in which the Arkansas Light and Power company is interested, Pine Bluff of- fers the best location from which to direct the properties, insofar as To- cation and accessibility are con- cerned.
 Pine Bluff would welcome the corps of officials which establishment of headquarters of the company would bring to Pine Bluff. This would mean, not only the addition of 9 ol more men of high grade, and thei, families, to the citizenship, but would bring to Pine Bluff advantages in . business way. The greatest benefit however, to the city would come iron having the aid and cooperation o these highly intelligent, well-trained experienced men in making Pin, Bluff better place to live and j, which to do business"
 The Graphic feels it can speak fo every organization in Pine Bluff ant the public generally in this matter and assures the officials of the Ar kansas Light and Power compan, that they would be accorded warn welcome and cordial cooperation and every facility given them in th transaction of their business.

SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and Lustre to
 Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray rstreaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances it's appearance i1un- dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture; you can get this famous old reel pc improved by the addition of other ingredients for 50 cents large bot tie, all ready for use. It Is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been been ap- piled. You simply dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this; through the hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after an other application it becomes beautiful ly dark and appears glossy and lus- trous. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis eaSe-Ady.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w STRAUS Pre5iasns .d,ne' zeAv S0e,s,y |os Thr,G

now coming to be nation wide concern.
 A thrift campaign has been launched in Toronto and various thrift centcrs have been established in schools and churches throughout the city. Mrs. Caroline Burns is demonstrating economical cooking at ten of these centers.
 At the opening of the first one, Mrs. Burns said: Thrift and economy are not the penalty but the privilege of patriotism. Waste is now crime. If man does not succeed in business, he looks for the leaks. They come from undue extravaganza, poor judgment and ignorance in buying. Bad buying is the root of extrava- gance, just as bad cooking leads to waste. The need for more busi- ness-like housekeeping and thrift is imperative, for the saving of OUT dollars now means the saving of our mems lives. To the women is falling the conservation of the na- tion's food supply and the seeing to it that money thus saved goes into the war loans."
 Theodore Roosevelt recently sounded national warning when he said:
 "Extravagance rots character; train youth away from it. On the other hand the habit of saving money, while it stiffens the will also brightens the energies. If you would be sure that you are begin ming right, begin to save. t It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when, or if the opportunities come, he is ready to take advantage of them"

since then, marked by struggles that
 have engulfed whole nations, it has
 gone steadily forward, to what ul- timate objective we know not, but d. ways improving, always advancing,
 each terrific spasm of war serving to
 sweep away ancient abuses and to
 clear the ground for building ane V
 on better lines
 A glance at history will show this.
 We, ourselves, went through har1
 trials in revolutionary days; but out
 of those struggles the great hope Of democracy, the American republic wos born. For more than twenty years Europe was devastated by the Eapclec nic wars; but out of them emerged modern civilization. Our own civil war marked not the end but the beginning of a great material pros perity, coupled with new ideals f liberty. The czar's peace palace at 1 the Hague was the dream of an age of peace; but war has snapped the letters from the Russian people.
 Progress can come only through ideals and through sacrifice, and trpe
 ideals and high and generous individ- ual sacrifice are born only of times of stress. A man must suffer and sacrifice before he can achieve. He must learn to devote himself to his
 purpose with huge single-minded-
 ness. Just so with a nation. What
 may come out of this war we cannot tell; but if the lessons of history teach anything, they spell assurance
 that all will be well with our future in proportion as we do our part as
 men and women.

nome budget ana expenditures, ana the women of the United States can save millions of dollars for the common good. We are wasting $700,000,000 a year in our kitchens alone.
 In England and Germany not a foot of ground is going to waste. In Austria Hungary and Italy, too, the conditions are much the same. Thrift comes as the stern necessity of war, and in this respect the women of the United States will play a more important part than will the men.
 Our neighbor, Canada, has learned ill the stress of war times ways of thrift, of utilizing and conserving every resource and of renouncing its little luxuries cheerfully, that will not be forgotten through gen. erations of peace and prosperity.

YANKEES ARE FEARED
Manager Of White Sox Says They
Are Most Formidable Team.
Young and Peppery Team Represent.
ing New York viii Cause Leaders
More Trouble Than Any Of
Others In Pennant Race.

Clarence Rowland declares the New
York Yankees appear to him to be the
most formidable team the American
league holds-asidc from the White
Sox. He believes that If his team gets
away to a league championship this
year II will be done with the Yankees
trailing them into the home stretch.
Strangely, Rowland does not count
the Red Sox formidable In the least.
The early season ride they had at tho
top of the American league. he holds.
was merely Il flash. He shares the
opinion of other managers In the Amer
lean league In declaring that when
double.headers begin to tear into the
Red Sox the pitching staff of the Hub
representatives will begin to falter.
The loss of Bill Carrigan Is also 90
ing to have an effect. Rowland be-
lieves, and he declares change In
ownership can't possibly have i'm
proved the teams chances. Carrigan,
he maintains. while not the best catch
er In the world, was the one man who
could get sterling results out of Dutch
LeOnard's work and do II consistently.
He has plenty of praise for jack Barry
as n manager. hut inclnes to the be-
lief that baseball club ut its best al
ways must have associations with its
manager for several years us u mana
ger before things can run exactly right.
The team that represents New York
in the American league, young and
poppy, Rowland declares, will cause
more trouble than any of the others.
Bill Donovan's young pitchers, mixed
I'm with plenty of excellent veterans,
added to the fire and spirit of young
outfleld and intield, Is going to get re-
suits. The hitting of Frank Baker
and Wally Pip, he points out, Is en-
ceeded by only few clubs and will
cause the loss of more than one ball
game for the opposition clubs.

lAY.0FF WILL HELP MINORS
Suspension Of Schedules Is Probably
Best Thing That Could Have
Happened to Them.

The suspension of schedules by Il
number of the minor leagues Is prob
ably the best thing that could have
happened for them under existing con-
ditiOns.
Population In the minor league
cities Is comparatively small II you
count the baseball fans alone, and In
war time the tendency to conserve
finances Is greater in the small cities
and towns than In cities of the first
class. In addition to this, the base
ball population In the larger cities Is
large enough to keep Il ball club run
ming ut II small profit.
For the lack of this the minor league
magnate Is always up against II when
times become panicky, and without
baseball for the remainder of 1917 and
probably throughout the season of
1913, II the war continues, the minor
league fans will have time To recover
their balance and will be baseball hun
