Besides Boone, Collins and Sorrels in the back field, Lindsay, Nichols, Hooker and Williamson stand out IS being possibilities.
 Realizing that the first scrimmage is no fair indication of the strength of team; it is a fair way to judge the potential strength. The line is heavy, the back field fairly fast. These two factors are usually condu- cive to winning foot ball games. However, the team which lined up yesterday to battle with the scrubs work of the men. Some showed un- ity-With their positions, and all showed the need of considerable personal coaching.
 Outlook Good
 Predictions are easily made, in nothing does prediction so often fail as in prognosticating the future of a foot ball team. Nevertheless, from present indications, if the ma terial which Coach Bassett is work ing with is whipped into machine, Little Rock, Hot Springs, Fort Smith and some others are going to have a rough old time for about 60 minutes l each this fall.
 Another thing which is indicative of successful season is the interest being taken by the high school stud ents, and by the members of the faculty. Principal J. R. Allen this week, organized the student body in- to 400 or More "Booster club, and ! a committee composed of Frank Boone. Truman Lindsay and Will liam Phillips has been appointed tC select captains and lieutenants fol the number It is proposed to divide l the 400 or more into companies anC squads with officers for each unit l The purpose is to institute a firm organization for planning, and put ting over school projects. During the l football season, it will be the busi I ness of the boosters club to get behind the team and make the season a sue cess from every standpoint.
 Equipment for five foot ball teams has been ordered at an expense O about $500. This puts the footbal team in that much of hole at thu start. With the aid of the booster club, cooperating with that might! but unorganized high school alumn association, the Pine Bluff business man, it is the belief that the seasoI will be a success financially as wei as in other ways.
 Coach Bassett has not announced his schedule. but he has tentative dates with the best teams in tn state. The team is going to be good one. And Pine Bluff peopl who wish to see good football, nee' only the inclination, and the price o admission to the park, and their de sire in this direction can be gratified

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

America will celebrate perhaps the most glorious Fourth OF July
tomorrow since the days of the Civil War. For the Fourth ushers in
this wear the peace of the world, and it was due to a Americana
persistence that we are enabled to celebrate peace at this time. we
may have personal political differences with the President OF the United
States. and some OF the things he las done have seemed TO us plghead
cd and dictatoriaI, but the genera! public, 10 matter what its political
beliefs must acknowledge that President Wilson has hung on until
the peace treaty and the covenant of the league of nations was signed
by the German government. The months of negotiation have appeared
to many of us o be unnecessarily long and we could not see the reasons
for the delay. But the Allies have at last accomplished a peace with
out further bloodshed and one which all hope will endure tor the rest
of their lives at least. To many of us there comes the regret that the
Allies did not enter on German soil and give the Germans a taste OF
their own medicine of devastation and desOlatOn, but on the other
hand have we not done better to preserve our own high standards and
ideals rather than to stoop to the degrading depths OF the enemy?
Get out your hrecrackers and your toy cannon; fling your flag
to the breeze and thank God that you have lived to SCI the day when
the ideals for which Washington and his ragged band fought have
triumphed over the long accepted creed OF might and standing armies.
Germanys army by the treaty is to be reduced to less than the size OF
Americas, Her mel will not in future be forced into the life OF mnltar-
ism against their inclination. Germany mourns the signing OF the tca.
but in a few years she will rejoice, for the treaty means a freedom to the
German people that they have heretofore never enjoyed. 1t is not worth
while to have lived to see the emancipation OF a dOwntrOdden people,
even though it be forced upon themr and to know that through the
answering adherence to high ideals of an American this was made
possible?

Deeper Realization
BY WIN. z. CROCKETT.

Though one hundred and f%orty-three
years have passed since Il fathers
have made for us the Declaration of
independence, each year this day, the
Fourth of July, to all true Americans
becomes more sacred, has more mean
ing, commands greater veneration
and makes a deeper impression. 1t
becomes more sacred because we
merits of the American government
as compared with others which boast
of a far greater age than ours; and
this wonderful development is the re-
suit of a hardy type of manhood,
which is a product of America, grow
ing out of the continuous hardships
which were absolutely necessary to
endure in order to build up the ma
tural of this vast area OF
land.
1t has more meaning to us today,
because we now fully understand the
great cost in perpetuating the ideals,
50 evident in the minds of those
who dared to give us this great and
lasting declaration. 1t has not simply
been a cost of toll and care through
all of these years but a constant
struggle in many instances calling for
the blood of our loved ones, who gave
their lives that this order of govern
ment might still exist with the same
purity as it was when first nnoun
ed.
We have a greater veneration and
deeper impression, because we have
had during all of these years an OPP
portunity to compare our methods
and form of government with hat of
others that were greater and more
potent in power, and yet there are no
people, who are freer and enjoy great
err liberty of civic action han we en-
joy. We have people from every race
who have in due ours of time be-
come citizens of the United States of
America, and in almost every instance
their status has been elevated beyond
recognition with their former selves.
We are great and prolific in all
that is required TO make a great ma
ton, and each year shows further and
higher results in the effort to achieve
greatness. We believe in u
try, hold sacred its traditions, and
~venerate it to the extent that we are
willing to sacrifice our all on the al
tar of Liberty, rather than have this
land of the free fall into the hands
and control of despots.

Three Vital Noes
In Constitution

In framing the Constitution of the
United States, the founders of our
government took negative as well as
positive views. They declared that
certain things were to be and that
others were not to be.
ga Wee three things which they
barred out, which they did not intend
to permit. Old World prosecutions
and tyrannies We're still wildly re-
membered, and they decreed that no
religious test should ever be requir-
ed of candidates for Office under the
Federal Government. We of today
have cause to be thankful for their
action.
Puritan and Cavalier, Tory and
Wing, Stuart and Hanoverian had
taken deadly revenge on the losing
side, and our Constitution mercifully
enacted that mo attainder of treason
shall work corruption of blood, or
forfeiture, except during the life of
the person attained" We are glad
now that nobody lost his lands be-
aus his father sat in the Hartford
Convention or because he was the
son of a member of the Cabinet of
Jefferson Davis. During the eighteenth
century, yes, during the boyhood
OF George Washington, the heads of
JacObites had been nailed over Carlisle
gate and their children had been driv-
en- from home.
BuiIded For Future Trade
The men who rejected religious
tests and political prosecutions were
not ignorant of commercial history.
Well did they know that the partial
ity o ia king, o. a premier or a court
clique, or a sovereign's mistress, had
gained undue favors for this or that
port. Looking backward to a past full
of such conditions and to a future
that was to be free from them they
ordered ""That no preference shall
be revenue to the ports of one State
over those of another"
Gladstone said that our Constitu-
ton was the most wonderful docu-
ment yer struck off at a given time
by the mind of man, The advocates
of Free Ports may well consider these
three exclusions.

THE U"NDESIRABLES

One of the %uninhabited islands of the South Seas ought to be set
aside as a spot for the deportation OF undesrables-men who have
explosives in their possession and men who Use poisoned words to in
cite anarchy. The prisons OF America are too good for those who
are open foes to orderly government, Those who plot revolution and
would destroy American institutions should be compelled to herd to-
gether on some distant isle where they could have opportunity to try
out their incendiary theories on one another. That would be a reason
able and praise-worthy way to make the punishment fit the crime, and
the revolutionists themselves could have no valid ground for protest.
Sending them back to their own countries merely does that country a
wrong by transferring the scene of activity.

hardly expect succor and sustenance from the graceless meh-and

whose name has been mentioned, The world will not be rid of smoke
without some fire.

MARRIED INFANTS CANNOT BE PLACED IN REFORM SCHOOL

A married female infant" may not be confined to the state Sndustrial school, according to an opinion given out yesterday by J. K. Mcbride. as sistant attorney general Or in other words, a girl under IS, legally married, cannot be sentenced to or confined in the state industrial or juvenile school for comm, ,tuiEg offenses for which her unmarried sisters of equivalent age might be confined.
 The mater came to the attention of the office Of the attorney general by an inquiry from Andrew Baumert, secretary of the board of directors for state institutions. It is understood that it arose because there is at. present one such "ma-ricd infant confined at the school, which this decision will un- doubtedly liberate. It will also affect several other similar cases pending
 The letter conveying the opinion in part, follows:
 Tn this state married female in fant has ,ha same legal status in re- gard to property rights as man of twenty-one years of age, and has the same liabilities. It is apparent that the intent of the legislative branch of the government was to regard mar r;ed woman under the age of 21 as fully emancipated from the legal dis abilities imposed by her infancy Un- der the common law to which these statutes are supplementary infants under the age of 21 became emanci4 pated from the control of a guardian or parent upon entering into a married state Taking this into consideration, iE the absence of a specific enactment upon the subject we cannot say that inc state, acting in loco parentis. may exercise a greater measure of control than the natural parent or guardian.
 The question is one primarily for a courts decision as it is a matter of cofense 10 be raised by the married infant brought before a juvenile court. but failing such decision we are in- clined to the opinion that married infant under the age of IS, is not such q child as was intended to come with in the provisions of the juvenile court laws relating to children under the age | of IS years
 When asked last night for a further interpretatioa, and how cases of this sort could be handled if not by send ing them tc the industrial school MT Mcbride expressed the opinion that their cases would have to be handled by the justice and superior court the same as those of persons who are reg Ularly of age. and that they could be committed to the Crittenden home oi similar institutions

COMMISSION ASKS
 WHY RATES RAISED

The corporation commission is in Quiring into the proposed raise in rates for the transportation of oil from Texas to Arizona. after having been informed of the matter a couple of days ago by wire from San Francisco by one of the protestants.
 Ordinarily, the commission is sent copies of proposed changes in rates af fecting this state, but this being an in ter-state matter no copies were sent.
 However, the commission insists that any rates that affect the shippers of this state are matter of great interest to them, and have wired to the west ern district freight committee at San Francisco for information.
 Commissioner Jones, of the rate de- partment is absent. but the matter was immediately taken up by the chairman, A. A. Betts, who stated that if the mat ter justified such action, after the in formation was received, the commis- sion would probably file petition in intervention and go into ahe case in behalf of the Arizona importers of fuel oil.

Editor Republican

Editor Republican,:
 A recent editorial in your columns, in view of the approaching state fair, called upon the residents of Grand avenue to cut and clean up the un- slightly growth of Johnson grass and weeds that infest that tlloroughfare and many of the adjacent premises. It was a timely topic, but what about the same conditions that exist in many other parts of the city, The rank growth of weeds on vacant lots, many lots covered with large and varied assortment Of tin cans and other junk, with tall grass along many of the town irrigation ditches-surely these are not pleasant sights for the citizens or our Fair visitors and the winter tourists who will soon be coming in. The truth hurts perhaps, but Phoenix has never been noted for being an over-ciean town, and it may as well be told here as elsewhere.
 The writer was somewhat amused at the steps taken recently to incor | porate several miles of adjacent terri tory within the city limits, and felt that if the many vacant lots now em 1 braced in the limits were cleaned ot accumulated filth and improved with residences and business houses, il would provide for our rapidly increas- 1 ing population for the next ten years Aside from the improved appearance | of the city the sanitary side-and that is the most important of all-shoult not be overlooked With the threat ened epidemic of flu expected agair and the fall months so prolific of ty- phoid and other levers, it tehooves al citizens and the powers that be to be- gin warfare against weeds, filth anc Girt wherever found.
