THE KINGS SUIT.

King George is reliably reported to have ordered from a tailor a suit that will set him back exactly 57 shillings, or $14.25.
 Unfortunately the cables have not furnished detailed description of the suit. Every American would natural ly like to know something about the cloth, style and fit. You can't get much in the way of suit over here for $14.25 these days, even in "hand-me- downs"
 Maybe King George is taking ad- vantage of British tradesmen's innate yearning to advertise themselves as servitcrs and purveyors "to the King" Maybe some tailor is palming off on George a fancy twenty-pound suit for a 57-shilling one But the point is, the king is honestly trying to set a good royal example in apparel. He is economizing.
 The example should be followed. And whatever the English may do about it, we're willing to do our part. Any reputable tailor who offers made to-measure suits around here for $14.25 may expect to do flourishing business.

time to leave enough in the markets for the use of the government. It is purely a question of supply and de- mand If we use the supply the gov ernment does not have it for war needs. And the smaller the amount the government has for use the longer will the war last. That is the primary reason for the savings campaign.
 But there is another side to the question. The government asks us to pledge ourselves to save to help win the war. It does not ask us to give it anything except our cooperation. In return for our help we receive a gov- ernment security which pays us a good rate of interest.
 If we do as the government asks, and as we should, this, then, will be the result: CD We shall buy only those things necessary to maintain us in the best of health and spirit; (2) by refraining from buying unneces- sary things we shall leave in the mar kets for government use a greater supply of labor and material with which to win quicker victory; (3) by not frittering our money away on things that do not make for efficiency we shall keep ourselves in better health and increase our powers Of production; (4) by investing our sav- ings in War Savings stamps we shall be putting aside for those days which inevitably come, if we live long enough, the means to greater happi- ness. ~
 When so much can be accomplished by joining in this war savings cam paign, why should we not do it?

federal courts to take charge of such cases.
 Bolton Smith, of Memphis, state secretary of the Tennessee Law and Order league, in a recent telegram to Governor Rye, puts the league on rec ord to the same effect. In view of the reasonable tendencies of such lawess ness, by undermining the morale of our colored troops, sowing disunion among our forces, ana weakening the effects of our propaganda among the colored people for food production and conservation, and also because of the injustice involved in calling a race to the defense of our colors to whom we deny legal protection such as our laws require-for all these reasons, as sec retary of the league he urges the gov ernor to issue proclamation point ing out the treasoneble effect of such acts; "and that you call upon the pres ident of the United States as com mander of the nation to reinforce your words"
 The St. Louis Argus, a leading col ored paper, speaking from the negroes viewpoint, discounts race prejudice as the main cause of the decent epidemic of lawlessness, and suggested vide spread German propaganda to incite the races one against the ether. The Constitution recently published re- lynchings to the same effect. If any thing could be lacking to insure a "solid South against further violence this suggestion would seem to supply it.

pie to demand with increasing insist ence that way be found to end this barbarism once for all.
 The Atlanta Constitution, speaking of "this constantly recurring disgrace of mob violence" declares We must either act ourselves or be prepared for the federal government to do so: for the civilized people of this country are not going to indefinitely tolerate such primitive barbarities."
 The Houston Post says the lynching of spy in Illinois IS more eX-
 cusable than that of Negroes, for "there is absolutely y no question about the loyalty of the negroes" lcr whose protection "there stands the solemn pledge of our laws and our civilization. the violation of which dishonors every ideal for which our armies, composed in no inconsiderable degree of our black fellow citizens are fighting" :" The Post agrees with the Constitution that if the South does not soon end lynching-a point on which the paper is not hopeful-the federal govern ment must and will.
 The Tennessee conference of chari- ties and correction, at it's recent an- nual session, goes a step further in strong resolutions calling on the United States government to step in and control the situation. It declares lynch law incompatible with the prin- ciples of justice and democracy for which we are fighting;;" and adds ''the lynching of men of one blood or race by those of another is not at this time an ordinary act of lawless- ness which may be left to the local authorities, but strikes at the very root of our national solidarity and ef- ficiency, by raising issues * among our own people, and will increase the length of the war and the cost in dead and wounded, and thus give aid and comfort to the enemy" In view of "the reasonable effect of these acts" the conference petitions the president to issue a proclamation; and also asks congress to pass an act enabling the

-W. s. S.- WHY THE SAVINGS PLEDGE!

This is "War Savings Stamps Day." so designated by the president of the United States and the governor of Ar kansas. Turnout the nation extra eff forts are to be put forward by the campaigners to secure pledges equal to $20 per capita. Jefferson is expected to pledge itself to take $1,2O0,OOO of the war securities.
 Under the leadership of Ed. A. Howell, patriotic men and women will endeavor to solicit everyone in Pine Bluff and Jefferson county. The work of these servants of the nation can be facilitated greatly if people will determine what they intend to pledge, and promptly fill the cards when presented. The people must re- member, too, that the canvassers are serving the interests of those solicit ed. For this is government of the people.
 In this campaign we are asked by President Wilson and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to pledge ourselves to save and with our savings to buy at definite times specific amount of War Savings Stamps. Why should we be called upon to do this and why should we do it.
 We are called upon to do it be- cause. as President Wilson says. this is war of nations, not of armies, and everyone in the land must do his share. So far more than 2,000,000 men have gone into the army and navy and 100000 more are to join before August 1. These 3,00O,00O men give themselves as their donation to the. war. The remaining 97000,000 people left at home must give some thing else as their share.
 This savings pledge gives the stay at-home an opportunity for service. We are asked to pledge ourselves to save and economize, to use labor and materials only as necessity demands, and to invest our savings in War Sav- ings stamps.
 The government asks us to do this because the amount of labor and ma terials in the country is limited; there is not enough of either to permit us to use it in the same free way as we did in peace times s.a at the same
