ON GETTING MAD
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

Whistler, the great painter,
once wrote a fascinating essay
on "The Art of Making Enc
mics" Let us hope that as
clever a genius will some time
write as clever an essay on "The
Art of Getting Mad" If a man
must get Mad he should ap-
proach it as he approaches
money spending-carefully.
If you must get Mad-get Mad
gracefully.
The only %justifable time for
getting Mad is on State Occa-
sions-when your feelings be-
come so aroused at an injustice
that they crystalline into fine
scorn and protest. Most of us
who get Mad-and about all of
us do at times-select the wrong
time to get Mad. We waste a
fine lot of energy and language
and time over trivial affairs that
should not have our ability thus
spent on them.
If you must get Mad-get Mad
gracefully.
The man that doesn't know
HOW to get Mad at the right
time. is at once handicapped, for
he lacks those fine elements,
those elements of power and de-
cision that enable him to fight
for the weak and to stand up for
the strong. The next time you
are tempted to get mad useless
ly, think of what a fine thing it
will be to get mad-gracefully.

KEEP THE ISSUE CLEAR.

New Jersey Republicans, by their
platform plank, adopted by the State
Convention last Tuesday, declare for
local %option-home rule, and recommend
favorable action on that issue by their
legislative candidates $50 far as pre-
primary promises will permit"
New Jersey Democrats, so far as
their platform goes, remain absolutely
silent on the issue, but on the floor of
the convention it was declared that the
candidates in the various counties
should be left free to do as they liked.
The difference in attitude of the two
parties is plain. Yet the practical eff
feet of the Republican action and the
Democratic lodging is in one respect
the same: No candidate of either par
ty is officially bound" by the state
platform on which he is running to
support OF to oppose local option.
The result is that the issue will be
fought out in most of the various u
ties. Local option will be the FREEDOM
inant issue in thirteen of the twenty
n counties. In two of the other eight
counties the nominees of both parties
are pledged against local option, while
in six both the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates favor local option.

Praise For Junior Chautauqua.

Referring to the Chautauqua conduct
ed by the Swarthmore association In
his home town, the Hon. Lyman Twin
ing Tingier. lieutenant governor Of the
state of Connecticut. wrote in a person
al letter to a Connecticut Judge:
Answering your inquiry regarding
the Chautauqua meeting In Rockville
which closed yesterday, let me say that
the affair was a decided success, so
highly appreciated by our people that
they have already subscribed for nor
than 500 tickets for next year and sev-
enty-six %guarantors have signed. All
who attended were delighted, and next
years meeting gives promise to be more
successful than this one. The depart
ment for children, or Junior Chautau-
qua, is n of the most valuable fea-
lures of the affair and deserves great
praise, delighting and i%nstructing the
children, and the adults also. and
should be0 ,iven a prominent place in
these meetings. Do not fail to call the
attention of the people of Putnam and
vicinity to this part Of the Chautauqua
work. In short. the whole affair was
very successful, and one of my regrets
is that we did not take it up years
ago."

produced some of the most interesting
material for a traveler-lecturer which
the public has had opportunity to
listen to.
At the outbreak of the present great
war he had gone to Servia to study the
Balkan situation. which was visibly
growing tenser every moment, and he
was in the capital of that state when
the heir to the Austrian throne and his
consort were assassinated at Sarajevo.
When val was declared by Germany
and the Huns started their advance
through Belgium, the French troops
bravely fighting them back, he was one
of the earliest men to be commissioned
to visit the front and study the war In
most modern form. At the time he was
reporting for Leslie's Weekly and had
unusual facilities for visiting even the
first line of trenches. @ais experiences
were varied to a high degree. At n
time he was arrested as a spy and re-
leased only upon presentation of q let
ter signed by Theodore. Roosevelt. AT
other times he was accorded the high
est courtesy, so that he was enabled to
collect a rare set of photographs from
the fighting zon

WANT SOLDIERS ACT AS GUARDS
 LOCAL PLANTS
Gov. Brough Asked to Re- quest That Gen. Pershing
 Issue Necessary Orders.

Gov. c. H. Brough was asked yes terday to make formal request upon Major General J. J. Pershing, com manding the department of the south of the United States army, to detail guards to protest the cotton presses, saw mill plants and other big manu- featuring interests in and near Pine Bluff.
 The request was made by long dis tance telephone by Secretary E. B.. Bloom of the chamber of commerce, on behalf of the local plants, and MT. Bloom was informed that the matter would be taken up with General Per- shing at once.
 The matter was brought to Mr. Blooms attention by P. P. Byrd and Frank NJ. Roane, representing the Pine Bluff Compress company, where some thing like $2,OO0,00O worth of cotton is stored, and whose plant and the cotton therein stands of valuation of about $2,50O,000. Other local plants are of proportionately large valuation and an incendiary fire would entail a terribly heavy loss, not only to the local stockholders of the companies owning the plants, but to the country generally.
 No reply was forthcoming last night from General Pershing, but it is ex- pected word from him will be received today, if he can obtain the information he will desire as to the need for such guards in this section.

WILLIAMS ARRESTS
 ALLEGED SWINDI4ER

H. R. lobe, about 35 years of age, was arrested in Little Rock yesterday by Sheriff R. H. Williams, and re- turned here last night to answer a charge of false pretenses.
 The sheriff has been seeking lobe for several weeks, on a warrant fs- sued on information filed by Victor Simon, who accuses lobe of swindl- ing him in the purchase of stock. Mir. Williams trailed lobe to several points in Texas and Arkansas but was always just bit too late to have the arrest made.
 The sheriff went to Little Rock yes- terday to attend the Carter vs. Allen trial. While walking about with Jim iMcNulty, the latter espied lobe. Mc- Nulty shadowed the accused, while the sheriff procured a warrant, and later effected Jobes arrest.

HOUSE MILITARY
 COMMITTEE IS
 AGAINST DRAFT Various Methods Suggested to Avoid Conscription
 in Raising Army. PRESIDENT WARNS
 ENEMIES IN U. s. Senate Committee Approves x..0OO,- O0O,OOO War Revenue Bill, and IL Probably Will Be passed
 by Tonight.

Washington, April 16.-The voting in tbe house military affairs commit tee today disclosed a majority in favor of making provision for volunteers in the war plan, which was drawn by the general staff and approved by President Wilson.
 Various methods of raising and or eanizing the great fighting force which the president has asked, have been advanced by members opposing the immediate application of the draft, ranging from g proposal to eliminate the draft entirely to Chairman Dents suggestion to authorize the president to resort to draft if the volunteers do not come forward in reasonable time.
 The administration is standing squarely upon the general staffs unanimous opinion that the volunteer system can have no place beyond en- listment in the regular army or na- tional guard in raising and training the army needed Apparently con- fidence prevails that eventually both houses will accept the staff bill.
 The senate spent the day on the general staff measure. Chairman Chamberlain said tonight he hoped it would be approved and reported to the senate tomorrow in time to fol- low on the floor the $7,000,000 900 revenue bill which probably will be passed by tomorrow night.
 The house judiciary committee to- day approved Chairman Webb's bill which would permit the allies to re- cruit their citizens in the United States.
