PUT THEM TO WORK.

There are about 81 or 20 gamblers
so called PROFESSIONALISM Piae
Bluff who hang around the corners
of the downtown district throughout
the day. They do not work. AT
night they gamble while and the
next day they are out on the street
corners at their day time occupation
--loafing.
This is d time when it is criminal
to loaf. No able bodied man has a
right now to spend his time in
idleness. There is just as much need
for work now as there was when the
war was OH.
We have vagrancy law-several
of them-under which these men
could be arrested. They should be
made to earn an honest living or the;
Should leave town. They are
drones in the hive and there is no
place for them.
There is no harm in social game
of cards. When a mans days work
is done, if he. wants to spend an, hour
or so playing cards with his friends,
it's nobody's business but his own.
But when man makes profession
of gambling, it's time to go after
him.
We arrest negroes for shooting
craps; we arrest negroes and white
men who elbow in" to Pine Bluff and
who have no visible means Of sup
port. Why not also haul in Others
who are just as idle during the day
light hours, and who depend for a
living on professional gaming?
Those men in Pine Bluff WHO
seem to think that the only purpose
of the day is to use it in waiting for
night and whose only use for the
nlght is to employ it in getting, fair
or unfair, few dollars that some--
one else earns, ought to be locked up
or told to leave Pine Bluff.

DON'T CROWD, BOYS.

Dr.. Serge Voronoff, who despite
his name is not Russian dancer, but
a Paris physician, claims that he can
postpone old age by grating glands
from the young, killed in accidents
and in similar sudden manner, to the
bodies of the aged.
1t is scientific realization of
Ponce de Icons famous fountain,
according to the learned doctor.
II the doctor really has a practical
solution of the proglem of keeping
perenially young, he will have many
consultations. Growing old is a
thing that no one can escape and
likewise thing that few people
face calmly and willingly.
It is doubtful, though, that if the
experiment proved practicable that
it would bring great happiness. Dr.
Voronoff might be able to bring
youth to the body His operation
might successfully forestall old age
for the limbs, for the blood and for
the muscles. But he cannot turn
back time, nor can he by bringing
new life to the body bring new life
to the heart or the mind.
There is certain distinction that
goes with growing old. If man
or woman can grow old gracefully,
willingly, as some have been able 70
do, it is doubtful if they would be
willing to trade such an old age for
I a 4 epet QaEfEertain artificial youth.
AK man who plays out his string with
asproper respect. for himself and his
fellow man and who does what ne
believes to be right on all occasions
can grow old with grace. He will
md happiness in declining years Tor

he has done what few have beer
able to do. Were he to begin again
it might not prove the same way
The turbulent blood Of youth is a
difficult thing to master. The way
of man or woman through the
years is difficult one to follow-;r,
the right manner. And one who has
followed it skillfully and carefully
and successfully would have little
reason for trying it all over again.
In the meantime, DR.. Voronof is
still in 'our midst" and in time will
get around to all of us.
Don't crowd, boys.
