new our membership. Phe Junior Roll
Call is from Oct. 6 to 81. The plan IS
the same as last year, to enroll schools
instead Of pupils individually. Every
school in Redwood County is asked to
send in one-fourth as many dollars
as it has pupils, or % cents per pupil,
money to be raised as teachers and pu-
pills in each school decide. Schools
doing this will be sent certificates of
renewal and 1920 buttons for the pu-
pills.
The Junior Red Cross is not a war
time organization only, but is needed
as much during times of peace. The
work will be to help children at home
and abroad. This work may be car
ried on along several lines to promote
the health, comfort, and happiness of
the children go per cent of the dues
will be used for the relief of the chill
dren of the war stricken lands and
the rest used for the children at home.
We ask each school in the county to
make special effort to have its dueT
sent in by October 81 that Redwood
County may be upon the 100 ,per cen
list Will you not each do your best !?

their dues for this year:

Mr.. Hilton stated. and if she is forced
to do so because of increased living

present ruling differs from an earlier
one that barred school boards from
increasing teachers salaries after the
contract had been signed, because
the intent of the first ruling was to
bar gratuity, the opinion explained.
superintendent Mcconnell stated
that the prices of clothing, board and

many instances now are insufficient.

ABOUT THE FIGHT ON VICE.

We do not believe Pine Bluff is entitled to the notoriety it is getting thru the vice commission, and other allied sources. A great majority of our people believe we have good clean, moral town. There are ex- captions, of course, but wouldn't it be better for the vice commission to work with the constituted authorities and turn over to it some of the law breakers which they ought to have detected by this time. If the vice is here let's break it up thru the regu- lar channel without so much publicity which is no doing business or the town, in any way, any good"
 This is an excerpt from the bulle- tin of the Chamber of Commerce Presuming this declaration of policy represents the view of the 23 direct ors of the Chamber of Commerce, it is a surprising attitude for the city $ leading commercial organization to assume.
 In the first place publicity is the best weapon to use in fighting any evil. Darkness is the shield of the evil-doer. No harm can come to the

In order to keen step with Stutt- gart's progress the Arkansas Light and Power company has just com- pleted and approved plans for mak- ing an addition to their ice plant in the way of very large concrete and hollow tile cold storage room that will carry a thousand tons of ice. This storage room will be filled up in the winter and spring months so as to hold big reserve on hand when the summer months come. They have also let contracts for two deep wells at their water works system and are now ready< to proceed with the building of concrete reservoir as soon as authorities approce plans.

Williams Charges Riggs Bank People
 Used Bank Money

Washington, July 26.-Making a general denial of charges against his administration before the senate banking committee today, John Skel- ton Williams, comptroller of the cur rency, characterized Frank J. Hogan, attorney for the Riggs National bank, who opposed Williams confirmation, as rapid fire falsifier," whose pur- pose "seems to be to swamp the re- cord with a mass of untruths."
 Chairman Mclean assured MT. Will Hams he would have full opportunity to answer the charges if it took all summer.
 MT. Williams accused MT. Hogan of having omitted from a letter read to the committee a charge by the comp trolled that the bank was carrying on stock brokerage business in which women treasury employees and others had lost money. He asserted that bank examiners report had shown that "nearly every officer and employe was using funds in stock speculation"
 "Can you imagine such a condition existing in a national bank" asked MT. Williams, "Wasn't it time to raise the red flag and stop the practice"

Henry Drummond defined life as correspondence with environment. " While this definition does not de- scribe life in it's essence, it gives us a measure by which we can judge life and its values.
 The greatness of man is measur- cd by his relationships. Just as a tree needs the earth for it's rootage, and must also have the sky towards which it can reach it's branches for light and life, so man must have eternal relationships if he is to req lize in any worthy degree the possi- bilities of his nature. The measure of a mans spirit lies in his attitude towards the world. He may fear the universe. That is sav- agery. He may idealize it; sing its beauties and harmonies and enter in- to the music of it's movements. That is art. He may ignore the world, or defy it, or deny it. That is brutality or atheism. He may learn it's laws, and apply them and reason upon them and try to live by them. That is science.
 Or he may find in the world a spirit like unto his own. Behind the law, a law-giver; behind motion, force; being thought, a thinker; be- hind the beauty and order and wis dom and wonder of the world, per son with whom he can establish friendship.
 Such a spiritual attitude is like the coming of the spring. It liberates unknown energies, develops undevel- oped faculties, widens the horizons of thought, quickens sympathy, edu- cates the moral sense, and co-ordin- ates the warning powers of the spirit into a unity and efficiency which makes it possible for the man to realize the best of which he is capa- ble.
 In this sense, religion is the great est and most essential thing in the world.

business interests or to Pine Bluff from publising to the world the fact that the citizenship is determined to remedy conditions. On the contrary such publication is good advertise ment for the city.
 1 As to working quetly with the con- stituted authorities: Whenever this has been tried it has failed. The constituted authorities apparently are unmoved until the citizenship be- comes aroused and demands action. There is no vice commission, so far as we know, unless the grand jury committee to list prostitutes be con- sidered as such.
 It is suggested, however, that the "vice commission" turn over to the constituted authorities "some of the law-breakers" which they ought to have detected any this time." Why should it be necessary for citizens to do this. Isn't this work for the constituted authorities 2" Doesn't this indicate that there is the great est need for publicity instead of play ing the ostrich act?
 Conditions in Pine Bluff are not what they ought to be. We love Pine Bluff, but we are not going to be so blind to conditions as to neglect social sores.
 The situation can be remedied. If the sheriff's department, the con- stables department and the police will work together, evils can be sup pressed. We have as good officials as are to be found. They detect, ar rest and convict murderes, thieves, and smooth crooks. In view of the records of the officials no one can make The Graphic believe they find it impossible to detect prostitution and prostitutes, bawdy houses and assignation places. They can do it, They will do it. They'll do it just as soon as the people show they want this done. 4
 Instead of the Chamber of Con- merce seeking to discourage the cam paign against evil, and thus, perhaps, creating the impression in official dom that the public does not care whether immortality exits, that or ganization should throw it's influence whole-heartedly behind the move- ment to rid Pine Bluff of vice.
