COUNTING MISFORTUNE.


Several days ago a Pine Bluff lad
on bicycle caught hold of moving
street car and "coastcd,' a favOrite
practice with many young bicyclists
Suddenly, his wheel struck an oh.
stacle, he was hurled 10 the ground,
and sustained the frac .ure of an arm
There is an ordinance prohibiting
persons from holding to moving
street cars, and from riding on thu.
outside of cars. This lad has not been
the only offender. He just happened
to be more unfortunate than others.
Parents should not permit their
children to indulge in this dangerous
practice, and if parents fail, the au-
thorities should arrest and fine as
many as the meagre police force can
capture. II =
The Pine Bluff company might find
it advantageous to help the municipal
authorities in enforcing these ordi-
nances, by reporting offenses, be-
cause in most cases attempts arc
made to place the blame on the sire ii
car people.

very best cotton for boil weevil Sec
tons. 1t is an extra early, large boil,

Triumph cotton the highest percent

land from 38 to AZ per cent. It is
also among the highest yielders per

William Brooks of Grady, Ark, is
an enthusiastic grower of Triumph
cotton, and is probably the only ex-
elusive grower of the true Mebane
variety in the state. He keeps his cot
ton standardized by growing special
seed plot each year planted with the
purest bred seed.
He has grown no other variety on
his plantation for years, and has rec
ords showing production on the same
land of IL to 2 bales per acre for
three successive seasons.

to use well acclimated seed, as they
give greater yield and longer staple, !

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
EXTRA SESSION.

| When the extra sessiC n of congress
convenes April it will likely hear
from the president a sorry of all at
fronts committed by Germany against
the peace, honor and dignity of the
United States.
1t has been repeatedly limited tina.
the president has such compilation
at hand and that he would use it If
circumstances justified it.
BY taking congress into his conf.
dence and giving to it a full exposi-
ton of the activities of Germany
that have proven distasteful to this
government-in our own boundaries,
on this continent and hemisphere, AMI
in the barred zone"--the president
believes he will encounter little OPP
position in congress to anything he
may suggest.
And if he suggests a. declaration of
war, it undoubtedly will be given wi1a
a whoop.
The only thing that could prevent
such a contamination would be a
total backdown in the u-boat warfare
by Germany, and disavowals or ex
pressed intention to d;savow for past
performances against ta!s country.
The entire situation has been of
Germany's making in the face OF
known opposition by the United
States. Even those who assert tina:
cur government from the first adopt
ed questionable neutrality agree
that we could not have been induced
to enter the war had Germany not
insisted on the u-boat campaign,
which it was contrary to our govern
mental policy to permit.
The war situation is of Germany's
making, not ours.

VOLUNTEERS OR IN ARMY.

ills said that the only thing that
can defeat universal military service
II the special session Of congress is
the plan to call for volunteers.
The volunteer plan was once con-
sidered highly. Not more than two
years ago Great Britain boastfully in
formed the world that she would
enter the greatest war of modern
times with q volunteer army, AMI
4 would show creation that volunteers
would defeat conscripts
But, as stated, that was two years
ago. Since then tie tune has
changed. Mention the volunteer
army. system to a Brit sher nowadays
and he will raise his hands in dis
gust.
The old claim that the volunteer
system was q democratic institution
and that for this reason it should be
the rule in democratic countries has
been dynamited, root and branch. AS
Z matter Of fact, it isn't democratic
when the burden Of military servic:

Either there should he no military
]. service at all or it should be borne

We don't care il Germany, France an
Russia had that much democracy be
fore the beginning OF the war!
Universal military training i'm

them healthier, inculcates into then
ohediance to and respect for the gov

their responsibility to the state. !!
1ves the state an adequate supply o
trained men for defense when tn
atate Is In danger; and the yer,
4 knowledge that this reservoir O
trained men exists will ward OF
danger.
None Of the military plans sue
gested in congress have as yet bee
very stringent. The most advance
\ and radical measures are mild whe
compared with the exactions of Euro
pean governments from their youth
But the least Of them would give /

eumulate annually, until in con
