FACTIONS HINDER PRESIDENT.

Hitherto Pres't Wilson has not re-
ceived the needed support. Because
his enterprise is unprecedented and
almost revolutionary because it
unites the constructive strategy of
international good faith among dem
ocracies with the sinister alterna-
tive Of war TO the bitter end his
countrymen have in part failed TO
understand his purpose and are not
acting so as 10 assure its complete
success. They are accustomed to
consider the methods Of war and
peace as mutually exclusive rather
than as supplementary. In too many
Instances they have not diScerned
how necessary il may be to use war
as q barrier TO the success of mill
tary aggression yet how necessary il
may also be 70 fall back on a policy
Of Cancellation i'm order to gather
from the bloody battlehelds a harvest
Of enduring peace. Thus Pres't VIII
sons success is compromised by the
existence within the nation OF two
factions both Of which are Unwit-
tingIy doing something 10 aid the
enemy. There is the faction OF the
absolutist pacifists who refuse 10 be-
iieve that war can be made TO serve
the cause Of peace and there is the
faction Of the head-long militarists
who are striving TO poison a war eX-
pressly Intended 10 serve the cause
of peace with vindictive passions
and irreconcilable moral judgments.
Both Of these factions are making it
more difficult for their national
leader TO accomplish its official pol
icy with the utmost celebrity and at
the smallest cost.-The New Re-
public.

YOUNG PLANTATION
MAN UNDER ARREST
+. johnson Taken Into Custody By
Constable Green on Charge OF
Forgery.

P. Johnson, about 33 years Of age,
was taken into custody last night by
Constable Clint c. Green and is held
on charges of forgery.
johnson, who was employed last
year as overseer on the plantation OF
Judge r. NJ. Phillips, near Altheimer,
is alleged to have negotiated half a
dozen or more checks here yesterday
for amounts ranging from $40 to $50.
All the checks purported to bear the
signature of George Harvey, manager
of the plantation belonging to the
Harvey estate.
Only once did Johnson fail, and
that was when he presented check
to the Peoples bank, it is stated.
The officers were notified and the
search started but Johnson managed
to avoid arrest until last night, when
he was picked up by Constable Green
at the intersection of Main street and
Second avenue.
"Well, l guess booze has got me, y
Johnson exclaimed, when the con-
stable told him he was wanted tc
answer charges of forgery.
Johnson is married and the father
of one child. His wife is believed to
be visiting in Memphis.

CALDWELL Wins
IN BATTLE FOR
CHEAP BOOKS
Senate Adopts Amendment
Limiting Price TO Be
Charged by Publishers.

Little Rock, Feb S-When the whis-
ties blew for working men to cease
toll at $50 Thursday evening, the
members Of the state senate refused
to heed. and kept righ. on with the
introduction and passage Of bills,
matters of general interest getting
little more consideration than local
bills, and a wheelbarroW load of bills
passed in an hour or so. Some MEM
bers of the senate declared that it.
was certain they would die in the
house and it was easier to call the
roll and permit the INTO pass than it
was to argue the question.
The senate passed the Jones bill to
work the convicts on the state high
ways, where week ago it killed a
similar measure, and those who
fought it the former time, voted for
it now, saying it would hardly be
considered in the house, which has
other road legislation along the same
line.
The Carter text book commission
bill was made the subject for amend
ment, by Senator Caldwell, requiring
the company supplying the books TO
|sell them % pc recent cheaper than
they are now being sola in the state.
Senator Carter declared that he wore
rather have his bill tossed into the
waste basket than have the amend
ment, but he got it on a roll cal.
Senator Carter then gave notice frat
he would ask for reconsideration
The Caldwell amendment was knock.
ed of fthe house text book bill by Mr..
Bland, the day before, but Senator
Caldwell had in the meantime con-
WINGED the majority that his ar. snti-
ment was necessary to get cn.aper
text books.
General Bills Passed.
Other general bills passed Hece.
BY Mr.. Hardage. to increase the cor
poration tax from lis to Ito mill:

LOAN FOR CITY
NOT COMPLETED;

Matter of Accrued Interest

CALI, CONFERENCE
ON Road MONIES
LEGISLATORS, County Judge and Coun-
Gil Will Meet Saturday to Discuss
.City's Desire 10 Handle Part OF
Funds-Carnivals Are Tahoe.

Because the city's fiscal agent
Judge James Gould, was not present
at the adjourned session Of the city
council last night to explain to the
council whether Or not the city is to
get the accrued interest" ON the GER
tificates Of Indebtedness through
which it will obtain loan of $3.50, 900.
the ordinance definitely closing the
negotiations was not finally adopted,
being given two readings, however,
and being now in parliamentary posi-
ton to be passed with the third read
ing.
The council adjourned to meet again
this afternoon at O'Clock, at when
time it is expected Judge Gould Will
be in attendance to make clear the
point at issue, and it is anticipated
the ordinance will be given its third
reading and will be adopted with no
loss of time.
Judge Gould was at Little Rock yes
| terday. in attendance upon hearing
before the senate judiciary commit
| tee. which explains why he was I'M
able to be in attendance at the meet
| ing of the council. He will be IN Pine
Bluff this afternoon, however, it IS
said, and the city officials who have
been closest to him in handling the
details of the negotiations for the loan
are confident the disputed question
will be settled within a few minutes,
and the final passage Of the ordinance
means that the city of Pine Bluff VIII
again meet it's payrolls and bills with
cash.
To Discuss Road Money.
Mayor Simon Bloom made verbal
report to the council of his visit ia

sentatives the resolution adopted by
the council at its regular session
Monday night. to obligate the county
collector and the county judge to pay
to the city of,e-half of fhe three-!nil?
road tax proceeds obtained from
property located within the city
limits.
! The mayor stated that until yester-
day afternoon the proposed act had
apparently clear passageway, but
that County Judge Check communi-
