ENFORCE THE LAW.

What are we going to do about en- forcement of laws?
 Are we, as citizens, going to show the officials we want the laws en- forced, or is it the intention to "let things rock along" and have laws openly violated without protest, as long as we are not interfered with in some infraction of one of these laws or ordinances.
 Abraham Lincoln declared:
 "Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges, let it be written in primers, spelling books and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpits, proclaimed in legis- lative halls and enforced in courts of justice, and, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues ano colors and conditions, sacrifice un- ceasingly upon it's altars."
 Our officials are entirely compet- ent to enforce the laws. Probably there is not county and city in the country more fortunate in this res pect. What they require most is moral support of the citizenship.
 Unless we are law-breakers ant towards we will give the officials the support they need, and Pine Bluff ano Jefferson county will become ever better than they are now.

PRESIDENT PRETTY SHREWD.

When the politicians put anything over" on President Wilson we hope some one will advise us of the fact. Despite that the president announ- ced his willingness to supply oppon- ents of the league of peace with any information he possesses, the repub- licans in congress, trying to play politics, ignored the invitation, and proceeded with much hullabaloo to adopt resolutions asking for informal ton in regard to alleged treaties and what not-all for public consumption. What does the president do: He in- vites these fellows to the white house to discuss the matter with them. Now what can these politicians do? They cannot refuse to accept the presi- dents invitation, and after doing so cannot say they didn't get the infor- nation without admitting they are big boobs.

AVERT HOT WEATHER BLAZES.

With houses and roofs dry as tin der extra precautions should be taken to avert careless fires, says a bulletin issued by the Arkansas Acturial Bureau. Don't burn dry grasses, leaves and trash near houses, especially when a breeze is blowing. See that chimneys are in spected as a cracked chimney will sooner or later, generally sooner, burn down your house. Most people are familiar with the little causes of big fires. Lack of precaution is just laziness. As most folk are laZier in summer than in winter there is more reason to throw off energetically such apathy and carelessness and take precautions that will save property and life. Remember the causes of fires and guard yourself against them

The public put up with good many inconvenience, with poor ser vice and paid for lot of service it didn't get during the war. The pub lie did. this and refraincd from "kicking" because the idea was that such course was patriotic-and 1t was, even tho some profited at the expense of others. But the situation has changed. It is time there is cessation of exploitation of the pub lie. The people are entitled to full re- turn for their dollars. The Lord knows the dollars are hard enough for some of us to get. The people want service and full value for their money. The people must have just that.

Public service corporations use streets and alleys rent free for their plants. These streets and alleys are owned by the people. If they permit their use rent free for others to make profit, they certainly are en- titled to fair rates and good service in return.

If the Star City Ledger had devo- ted as much effort and space to law enforcement as it did in it's attempt to lambast The Graphic, and suc- ceeded only in demonstrating that it is better at misunderstanding than understanding, Lincoln county would not have been so popular with opera tors of booze transportation lines. However, the Ledger's spasm is not surprising. Most small papers are that way. They raise a great howl about something away from home, while ignoring evils in their own communities which they should seek to remedy.

short time. The cripple then proceed

RESTORING Oil Paintings.

To repair an oil painting which
shows blemishes, such as cracks, pro-
coed as follows: Fill shallow dish
with alcohol and place the picture face
downward over it, taking care that it
does not actually touch the liquid. The
fumes from the alcohol rise to the
paint, and in a few minutes the cracks
fill up and the colors appear bright
and new. 1t is necessary to watch the
process closely, for If the painting is
exposed to the fumes too long the
,colors will run together and the pic
ture will be spoiled. With reason
able care this should never happen,
and old paintings which would other

Grain for Alcohol.

Obviously nationwide prohibition
will cut sharply into the use OF the ce-
reals in the manufacture of alcoholic
liquors for beverage purposes. AT the
same time it is regarded as assured
that more alcohol will be manufac-
tured than ever before for use in the
liberal arts and in manufactures gen
orally, this to be denatured and thus
absolutely unfit for drinking purposes.
Plans are under way. however, for
greatly increased output of alcohol as
above noted, some Of this undoubtedly

quantities it now appears will be pro-
duced from cheap molasses brought
from the West Indies. Official chem
lists have been able to secure from this
not only alcohol but also the use OF
residue for the production of glycerln,
something of increasingly large con-
sumption. Glycerin is very largely

PROVING THAT "WOMAN PAYS"

Upstairs in the big hospital a young
woman was greeting her soldier tiance

Suddenly the page grew blurred, and
the pen stopped. Willy-nilly, she was
listening to one Of wars tragedies,
albeit this was not expressed in blood
and fire. For the sergeant with the
bandaged arm was telling the girl who
sat beside him on the sofa that he no
longer cared for her. Like the stroke
of bludgeon came his words, carrying
clearly to the listener, who could not
stop her ears.

her we'd have got along all right. But

And then silence fell, heavily. Not a
word spoke the rather plain-looking
girl beside him. Nor did she cry. After
a little she took from her hand ring,
with such tiny stone, and thrust it at
him.
"Give it to her." she said. And with
out a backward glance she left the
