of boys and spent many days drill
ing them, and ever since has been
affectionately called Colonel" He

splendid manners, good mixer, pos
sessing an exalted sense of morality
and lived true christian life and

 The personal ambitions of Brun- didge, and the yagaries of Smith of Dewitt, are wholly insufficient to cause a great people to turn from the path of duty to the support of men who ought not to be asking for office at this time

WORDS OF APPROVAL.

There is no question but that the people as a whole in Hot Springs are lacking in their general appreciation of public service. They are prompt to criticize, but they are not so prone to applaud. The fact will prove costly in the future unless it is cor rected.
 Men who work on public service committees, who give of their tune and their money to public causes, find themselves at trying times no more influential than others who do noth- ing, contribute little, and who work the street curbs for their audiences
 The Business Mems League off cership is to be changed completely Gus Strauss, retiring president, has labored diligently at the head of this institution for three years. He las given his time and his best efforts to the public welfare. In passing let it not be said that he was wholly lacking in appreciation of his good works. A public spirited mans pay is the credit given him for what he accomplishes. MT. Strauss, as the head of the league for the past three years, had determined that this or ganization should bring to the city a maximum of prosperity Who will say that the past three years in Hot Springs have not been prosperous ones?
 MT Callahan had been rendered a nomination for the presidency. and declined Another wheelhorse at pub lie work prefers the ranks to the leadership. He has worked long and hard for Hot Springs; has given freely of his money for all public move ments, and is entitled to a proper recognition for this work.
 In the future we can look to the Leadership of either Robert A. Jone. or L. E. Sawyer, these being tn, nominees for presidency of the league Both are men experienced in puDli welfare. Both have undertaken an, performed public work, Under ethe leadership the Business Mems Leagu Twill continue to aid the whole of tn community if the people will stan behind the organization. instead 0 leaving public welfare matters to tn official body of the league.
 We could multiply the benefits ma terially if we would all applaud mor and criticize less The rule is a gooI one to adopt. Let's get a little mor of the shoulder to shoulder stuff il our minds
