SERIOUSLY CUT
WilbOn DOwtin Suffers in a
Personal Difficulty

In a personal difficulty with a
Mr.. Butler from Humboldt, while
attending the street carnival at
Milan last Saturday night, Wilbon
Dowtin was seriously cut about the
chest and in the forehead. Butler
is said to have used both a knife
and a dirk.
They were throwing at the dolls
when the trouble come up. and
after some hot words the fight
ensued. The trouble, it is claimed,
had its origin when some Hum
boldt boys were not allowed to
enter a dance hall in Milan some
time before that, and there had
been bad feeling among the young
men of the two towns since that
time.
Dowtin lives in Milan and is a
railroad mail clerk, but formerly
lived at Atwood and has a brother
residing there now. At last ac-
counts his condition was thought
to be serious. Mr.. Butler was
placed under arrest.

LEAGUE AND TREATY
Bottom Drops Out Of Fight Made
by Republicans

Democratic leaders in the senate
are rejoicing over the prospect for
success of the league Of nations
and the treaty of peace when these
combined documents are presented
to the senate for consideration.
The virtural Withdrawal of the
Knox resolution is declared t0 have
been due to a realization that the
measure could not muster the re-
quisite vote. Many of the repub-
Iicans even who signed the round
robin just before adjournment Of
the last congress, are wavering in
their allegiance to the party leaders.

THE PROHIBITION OF "PROFITEERING."

Upon one thing we are all agreed: That "profiteering" should not be tolerated. How to prevent it is the problem. Laws to prohibit. 'profiteer- ing" are not satisfactory because they are either unjust and cause injury or are ineffective.
 After all, the solution rests with the people-as a class and as individ- uals. If, as class, people will re- frain from purchasing such articles as they believe are carrying unrea a- sonable profit and will cease patron, izing the "profiteer" the practice of gouging will soon cease. Then, if each individual-and this is the most inn portant-will practice the golder rule, there'll soon cease to be occasion for application of the remedy first suggested or of so-called "anti-pro- fiteering" laws.
 The trouble is that few of us are fair. We want to purchase the ar ticles We desire at as low price as we can obtain them, and we want to sell the things we have for sale for as much as we can obtain-irrespective of the cost to us of those articles.
 To check the "profiteering" evil all that is needed is individual applica- tion of the golden rule"

tion of every good citizen. The dis trict is closed and will never be re- opened The parties who urge the contrary are out of touch with the spirit of the age. The day of con- mercialized vice in Pine Bluff is over, that is if the wishes of the majority of the people are consulted. The con- mittee does not appear to have pro- fitted by Pope's suggestion that "The proper study of mankind is man" or they would know full we'll that the presence in a city of certain districts but serves to accentuate the dangers that environs young manhood. Ii again courtesans are to be duly licen- sed, their business legitimatized and accorded the full protection of the law, if they are to be encouraged rather than condemned, given civic honor rather than social infamy then the people will have to acknowledge that there is something radically wrong with our social and municipal system. What Pine Bluff wants and ! needs is a clean town, purged of all objectional characters and this can be done if our city authorities will conscientiously do their duty and they are given the good will and co-opera- tion of all of all the people. Judge Sorrells, certainly deserves the high est commendation for refusing to ac- cept the report"

CAMOUFLAGE.

President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor should be care full about his statements concerning the steel riots. His attempt to create sympathy for the steel strikers on the story that they were shot down in cold blood by company and sate guards at eastern plants is case in point.
 While it may be true that the company guards fired first at Me Keesport and the places in the riots Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, those who know the temper of mob of half-foreign steel workers will not altogether censure the guards.
 The guards have sworn duty to perform. They go about it. They are met with barrage of missiles and epithets. Often such crowds are bent on the destruction of property. If they do not intend violence to the guards and destruction to property, they show every indication that they do intend these things. A mob of steel workers is not a thing to be handled with gloves. And d guard who hesitate to use firearms cares little for his life
 It is unfortunate that innocents often get killed, but if the union leaders would preach law and order to the workers as assiduously as they preach the doctrine of hate for the so-called capitalistic class and for their loyal employees there would be fewer menacing crowds, mobs and fewer clashes between them and com pany and state police.
 Gompers is resorting to crude attempt at camouflage when he tries to blame officers of the law for things which 2 lawless element
 brought upon itself.

line of: Shall Pine Bluff be as clean as courageous people can make it, or shall it be "wide open town, prose- cutting only the female victims; toler- ating the males who continuously seek to lead girls and women astray, and acquiescing in any form of vice.
 Pine Bluff can be rid of seducers, procuresses, bawdy and assignation houses, but it will not be thru the re- establishment of the restricted dis trict." It will be only thru the ex- hibition of backbone by the citizens.
 The question is: Have we the back bone to do it?

in all lands. Nor do we approve Of
the demand for specifically Jewish
national rights in any land, but we
demand equal rights for all in
habitants of all lands, regardless of
race and creed.
1--WE reaffirm the declaration
made by the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations twenty-one
years ago, that we are Jews in relig-
ion and Americans in nationality.
We reassert the ideal to which this
Union holds it's being and to which
it has been steadfastly devoted,
namely, the promotion of the Mis-
sion of Israel, to serve mankind
through the appropriation of the
great moral and religious principles
first enunciated by our prophets"
Another resolution urged that the
Union call upon all Jews Of Amer
lea and the rest of the world to join
in Jewish Rights and Rehabllita-
ton Movement to secure for the
Jews equal civil, religious, political
and economic right and opportu-
mites in all the countries of the
world, and pledging the continuing
support of the Union in securing
funds to relieve the Jews in Poland,
Roumania and Palestine.
1t was decided to hold the next
biennial council in Buffalo, N. Y,
in 1921, probably in June. Daniel
P. Hays, of New York, speaking in
the morning, clearly and forcefully
defined the Unions attitude toward
Zionism. For American Jews, he
said, their only salvation is in the
recognition of Judaism as religion,
and the living of Jewish life in a
religious sense. He declared that
there is no other justification for
their existence as separate people
in America.
In the evening banquet to the
delegates of the Union and the
Temple Sisterhoods was given at
the Copley Plaza, with Hon. Simon
Wolf, of Washington, Simon
Fleischmann, of Buffalo, Mrs.
Abram Simon, of Washington, Rab-
bi Abba Hillel Silver, of Cleveland,
and DR.. Edward N. Calisch, of
Richmond, Va, as speakers.

in big city across the sea. But
how do I come here? What has
happened?"
The stranger gazed round about
him as if in stupor.
"You are in Eretz Yisroel, in Ju-
daea. You are among friends the
host assured him.
"Let me tell you the story of the
new Eretz Yisroel,' continued the
Judaean
The New Eretz Yisroel.
"The Peace Conference conclud-
ed and Eretz Yisroel became Jew
ish land under the protection Of
England. Jews settled here by the
thousands. At first it was hard
work and there were great difficult
ties. There were even quarrels but
the new generation which grew up
on this free soil did not know Of
the divisions that separated Jew
and Jew. We were formed into
one nation, with one ideal-the old
ideal of the Jew. I must show you
the city and the country. must
show you how our people live in
peace and harmony. Every city is
garden city and every home
beauty-spot And there is full free
dom. The land belongs to all the
people. In books we read of pow
erty and disease. There are none
here"
"This must be the days of the
Messiah" exclaimed the stranger
ut almost is replied his host
pious1y. "Jews are no longer perse-
cuted. We have Our ambassadors
in every foreign country Jews are
respected everywhere. From all
over the world students come to the
Hebrew University. The ancient
saying, For from Zion shall go
forth the Torah and the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem,' has come
true. Come with me and I will
show you the new Jerusa1em!"
Up upon the roof of the house
they went and there the stranger be-
held sight that brought tears to
his eyes. AS far as the eye could
see, there was beauty; there was
peace. The sunlight flooded the
city with golden light. 1t was
the Passover of which the Golus
Jew had dreamed, for which he had
yearned.

A jury yesterday in Criminal
Court Number Two convicted the
Two men OF a charge of manslaugh-

death. The nurse was struck by
the automobile in front OF the hos
pital. She was on her way to work
when the machine, with Magruder
at the wheel. came whipping past
the street car at thirty miles an
hour.
Magruder argued that his brakes
failed to work. The government
contended that, with a wet street,
1t was impossible to stop the car
at thirty-mile speed in time to
avoid hitting the nurse and there
fore the two men were guilty OF
criminal negligence. Assistant Dis
