LIFE LSNOTH
Game ehance

The person who goes under the i'm
preston that life is. game of chance is
going to get beaten. Life is what we
make it, and if you want to get the best
out of it you have to watch the corners.
For instance, if you want to enjoy what
you buy, and at the same time do not
want to pay exhorbitant prices, you
must look around and find who is selling
the best goods at the most reasonable
prices.

Potlicker Smith no doubt had a
majority OF the votes in the state
at one stage of the campaign, but
when his character and private con-
duct began to be oozed out to the
public votes began to fall away
from him in droves. Smith even
lost his home county in the deluge
of destruction that was visited up
on him.

Sure, the editor of this paper vOt-
ed for Brough, and is NOT going to
attempt to climb on his bandwaeon

him when we are sent to the peni.

under the light of recent disclOs-
ures, there was nobody else to vote
for.

doing that very thing for years.

Gov. Charles Hillman Brough
can thank his stars that his oppon-
ent was Potlicker Smith. He has
also to be thoroughly grateful to
a few of Potlicker's former wives
for very valuable assistance in the

rhis paper is not surprised at the
rsat Of Mr. Bruudidee for United
hes senator. Readers Of this pa
will remember that we said al
"a very outset Of the campaign
4 it would be a difficult task to
5.feat any man who is now in
snoress and has supported the ad'
rlnistration on the questions that
rsrtaiu to the war. We might have
\ snted our opinion outright that
IAN a member Of congress could
81 be defeated. The fact is, OF
x1ems to be plainly, that MIR. brun'
!, didee cannot be elected to office in
Arkansas. Notwithstanding the
}ocf that he is one Of the most bril-

NO COMPLETE ECONOMIC
 INDEPENDENCE FOR GERMANY
Philippe Heinekin Shatters Dream of
 Pan Germans.

Amsterdam, July 17.-Those Pan' Germans who dream of complete economic independence as the result of the projected Middle Europe League are rudely awakened by Philippe lief neker, director of the ortha German Lloyd Steamship Company. who, in the periodical Deutsehest irnraen, pub fishes an article whicii has saetracted a good deal of attention.
 Ii. is Bremen, Hamburg andythe oth- CT seapOrts where the entente .strangle- hold will be the most severely felt, the director says, and the practical views of business men there are apt to clash with those of political scheemers in Berlin Director Heinekin who ex- pressly disclaims judging the ques- ton from a too narrow shipowner's point of view, warns against eXagger- ated expectations from the ''b1essed word 'mittel- Europa as cure-all for the economic ills to which the Central Powers are heirs"
 It is a popular fallacy, he declares, to imagine that middle Europe win make up for lost markets abroad. He prefers the principal adopted at Vien- na in a resolution of the federated Austro- German Commercial unions last June which was: ''The resumption of economic relations with all nations"
 Director Heineken cites a series of figures taken from the German pre- war imports list and continues by s&y- ing that q glance at it will ghowit will be iruSossfble in the future to cover all these needs from domestic sources.
 Austria Hungary, which has no cole onies he says, is especially. depend ent on overseas supplies. It is Of prime importance, Herr Heineken thinks, that the Central Powers rid them- 1 selves as soon as possible after the war Of the shackIes of what he terms a state socialistic war administration and return to indiv, dual enterprise.
 Middle Europe, he concludes. must be made a means to that end but must never be regarded as political i achievement for it's own sake.
