ears to the Salem jail. His life being
in the balance. judged by the ominous
mutteriugs of the angry crowd that
lowered about him.
About 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning
a negro hailing from the South, went
ahout town selling lead pencils. There
seemed to be nothing wrong with MN
except a bad odor. He went into sever
al business places along Nam streeI 10
sell his wares and finally entered Dutys
pooI room. The Squire happened to be
on duty and declining to buy, the negro
began cursing him. Duffy chased MN
ont with a broom and seeing that the
man had drawn formidable looking
knife he went after him.
A crowd was soon following IN MS
wake, throwing stones and other ms
siles. they having heard that ne had
drawn his knife and threatened the hves
of several persons. When near Penn
street the crowd pounced upon the
negro and he was thrown to the pave
ment. Squire Adams and Jos. Cralg,
clerk in Gibbs Il Sons grocery, fell upon
him and in the struggle both OF them
were badly cut on the arms by the
mans knife. Officer Smith struck MN
on the arm with a baseball bat and sent
the knife spinning to the street, thus
preventing further serious cutting. lie
was taken to the lookup followed by
crowd which was in an ugly mood.
Cries of lynch him" were heard as
they surged along the street. Inc
negro was well supplied with his kind
of courage, a pint bottle of whisky pro-
truding from a hip pocket
At the lookup he was brought before
Judge" Duffy. who was also in the
proper mood from his hot chase after
the man. Here it was leartd that he
was Southern negro but recently ar
rived in this locality. He gave his name
as Tom Jones. The Court needed no
evidence. 1t had heard and seen
enough already.
Two officers were delegated to take
the man to the Salem county jail, the
charge against him being atrocious as
sault and battery with intent to kill. He
will await the action of the Grand Jury.
1t is significant that all this trouble
and disturbance of the peace and quiet
of the borough was caused by negroes
who have just come from somewhere
in the South" A competent authority
states that there are 400 of them in
Penns Grove and Carney Point and
more are coming. The few colored
families who have lived here for years
have no part in this 1Nanace to the COM
munity and seldom if ever cause trouble.
But the influx of such a large illiterate
and vicious element from the slums of
southern cities is a matter that may
well be considered seriously by think
ing people.
''How is it." Squire Duffy inquired of
one of these men, 'that as soon as you
fellows leave your old neighborhood in
the South you at once begin to fout the
law and pay no regard to decency or
the authorities. You had a wholesome
fear of such things in the South?"
"Well. You see, Judge" the man re-
piled frankly. 1--WE are all equal up here,
just as good as anybody. and We think
We can do as we please"
That seems to be the prevailing SEN
timent among them and is the cause of
much of the present race trouble.

CAPT, WATTS COMES
 BACK AT COMMISSION
Resents the Report Made Cendemning the Local Home of Volunteers
 of America,

Readers of The Graphic will recall that Friday there was published in these columns a communication from Edmund J. Brown, Jr., executive sec retary of the Arkansas Commission of Charities and Correction. In this letter Mr. Brown condemned the methods of conducting the local home of the Volunteers of America, located fin West Second street. Captain Watts of the Volunteers resents the attack on the home and hands in the follnw- ing reply thereto:
 "To the good people of Pine Bluff: The attempt at pretense upon the part of the 'Commission of Charities and Correction to make a report upon the home of the Volunteers of Amer ica, appearing in The Graphic of September 21, is but a renewal of the strife of last winter, born of passion and malice, that does not hesitate. to place the good name of womanhood, the future hope of innocent children, the home of the helpless, and all that is connected with it under tho ban of ridicule and disfavor.
 My work and home are as an
 open book to every citizen of the city. AS for this so-called report by
 the Commission of Charities; and Cor
 rection', headel by this MT. Brown and hissed on by others, they will be given an opportunity to establish the falsity of the allegations by their oath in open court.
 Very truly yours, R. D. WATTS, Captain, Volunteers Home os America

laws. People have been haled into
 ed with fragrant violation of law, the | evidence mas been conclusive, yet 1 citizens, sitting as judges, have de 1 clared the offender innocent. Is thai l such encouragement to an officer as | to inspire him to his full duty? If an employer is lax, can more he expected of the employe?
 The Graphic believes in the en forcement of all laws. To ignore a law is to bring the laws and the courts into disrepute, and this will eventually destroy our entire system of government.
 Officials take oath to discharge cer- tain duties, and these include the en. forcement of laws. Tn this, the off cials have the right to expect the aid and cooperation of citizens. And if they fail, both are delinquent.
 It is frequently charged that the law prohibiting importation and sale of liquor is openly violated and that the offenders are not prosecuted If these charges are true they serious lp reflect upon the county, township and city officials. It devolves no less upon the county and township officials to enforce the state law against prohibition than upon the city officials, and all are equally delin- quent if it is true, as charged, that -laws are openly violated. However there is no evidence that those who charge violations of the law have made affidavits to that effect, or even supplied the city, township or coun- ty officials with sufficient evidence ! to warrant an arrest.
 It must be recognized that mere charge of crime is not sufficient to warrant arrest. And to secure a con viction in "bootlegging" cases is diff cult, because those who could fur nsh evidence are reluctant about doing Cso. It cannot be expected that the ''bootlegger" or his customer will swear away his own liberty.
 It is plain then that if the prohibit ton law is to be enforced, the citi zens must do their part.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-09-23
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE
 CITIZENS DUTY.

There ought to be no difference of on the question of law enforcement, irrespective of whether the laws meet individual approval or if they appear to be just or unjust.
 A law is a law, and law-abiding peo- pie should not only refrain from vio- lating laws but they should aid in the enforcement of the statutes.
 A citizens duty docs not end with depositing a ballot in the box. Be cause so many people have this idea of their civic duty is the cause of numerous troubles in government, especially in municipal government. Men awaken about election time, raise great hue and cry about the manner in which their affairs are being con ducted. go to the polls and cast their votes and then go to sleep again, as though they had no more interest in the matter. The officials get no aid whatever from those who put them in office, and are allowed to proceed in their own way until We'll, until they happen to run the city's interests against the interests of some private individual. Then, that individual howls.
 Either this, or no complaint until the city's affairs have been so mis managed that it has become public disgrace, and then everybody howls But none seems to realize that the old saw of "An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure" is as appli cable to governmental affairs as tC others, or that little of the interest displayed at election time shown dur ing the interval would tend to insure better management of the public's business
 Consider the problem of law en forcement, for instance: There's con siderable complaint at times abou certain laws, not being enforced. BUT WHAT ARE THE CRITICS DOING TO HELP ENFORCE THOSE LAWS
 Unless the officials have the mora and physical support of the people they cannot be expected to enforce thf

THE MEXICAN CONSTITUTION.

; The new Mexican constitution is a document that is receiving condemna- ton by American lawyers and church men.
 It's design undoubtedly is to. pre- vent the possible development of abuses; and in this direction much can be done to restrict development along all lines at the same time.
 Religious organizations find that
 the church is largely prevented from functioning in Mexico. And this will
 be more of blow to Mexico than to
 the church, for if there is any coun-
 try on earth requiring the administra-
 tion of religion and it's morals, that
 country would appear to he Mexico. The restriction against the abuse of property grants and the foreign acqui- sition of property are a natural aver sion against well known abuses of the past; but these can be carried so far as to stultify Mexico's future growth. These restrictions in the new MeXi- can constitution epitomize the re- sentiment felt for the past.
 Mexico is comparatively orderly compared with the reigns of terror in the recent past, and the resump- tion of thorough sleeping car ser vice to Mexico City indicates that life is getting to be more worth liv- I ing in the southern republic.

YOUR LAMB CHOPS.

Being patriotic and refusing to eat lamb chops has two sides. It may have an effect the opposite of the one anticipated.
 If lambs are not marketed, it is agreed by western rangers, the winter range will not support the flocks. The custom of sheep raisers is to keep as many ewes as possible this for the purpose of raising as many lambs as possible the following spring.
 In other words, sheep men raise lambs to be eaten, and if they are not eaten the sheep men will quit raising them. If they are kept they will be starved. and the rublic will fail to get it's mutton.
 It is stated that the cost of feeding sheep until matured is not repaid in additional value, and the American public has never cared much for nut ton
 Another "item" in the sheep mans bill of particulars is that there are two kinds of sheep-thOse raised fol wool and those bred for meat. It is said the mutton type yields very little wool
 It would appear that the argument to permit lambs to mature seems tt lack logic, from the sheer raisers standpoint. They tell us that we art not going to get more wool, more mutton or cheaper sheep by boycot

Portland, Ore, Sept. 20.-The Ore gonian Deutsche Zeitung changed it's name today to the Portland American. It's editor, Max Lucke, who has been under investigation by the govern ment, and other German employees have been dismissed, according to A. M.

 Kern said the changes were made because he had been notifid the paper would be suppressed if it attempted to continue publication in German.

Moreover, a broiler allowed to soak in water or ice will lose about 1.3 Der cent of it's edible substance while roasting chickens and fowls lose as much as 1 per cent, the statement continues. "Along with the edible material, water dissolves and washes out from the bird substances on which the fine flavor of the flesh largely depends.
 "The purchaser who wishes to avoit; Water-soaked chickens and to make sure that the money is paid for poultry and not poultry plus ad- ded water, will do well to insist on buying dry packed and dry chilled birds. It is always advisable to see the package ill which the butcher re- cciyed the chickens High-grade dry packed, dry-picked birds are common ly sent to market in boxes not in bar rels.
 Twelve birds arc packed in box which is neatly lined with white parchment paper. Each individual head is wrapped in paper. The feet Of the birds are clean and the entrails are always in place. Wet packed chickens are shipped to market in barrels holding 200 pounds or more. The birds in tie bottom of the bar rel soak in water that is filthy with dirt washed down from the feet and heads by the melting ice.
 Many persons who have found a bird dry and without flavor attribut- ed this lack of quality 70 cold storage, whereas the probability is that we: packing is responsible for the fact that most of the appetizing flavor has disappeared. Usually cold-stored

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair
in good condition, be careful
what you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and is very harmful,
Just plain mulsified coeoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
anee of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every parti-
Gle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves 1t fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the
family for months. adv.
