PUSH THIS THROUGH.

The Chamber of Commerce is ar ranging to send a delegation to Monticello Thursday to attend a con- ference in support of the plan to ex- tend the railroad from Monroe to Monticello on to Pine Bluff. This city should display the interest 1t feels in this project, and one way to do this is to have good delegation at the Monticello meeting.
 The policy of the Chamber of Com- merce has been to extend every as- sistance possible in upbuilding the communities in South Arkansas, and the wisdom of this is demonstrated by the friendship shown toward Pine Bluff and it's people by the interests of South Arkansas towns.
 A railroad south from P'ne Bluff will help the people of a great and rich territory. Pine Bluff will de- rive immense benefit from the opera tion of this road There is every reason why Pine Bluff people shoa d encourage the movement in every way possible.

SUPPORT PARK PROJECT.

The Rotary Club should receive the encouragement and support of the public in it's movement to provide Pine Bluff with park as a memor- ial to the. men from this county who served in the world war The estab- lishment of this park will be a per manent token of appreciation of the patriotism and courage of Jefferson men; conclusive evidence by which future generations may know of the great part this county had in the con- quering the Huns, and of a commu- nity's gratitude to the men who served with the colors.
 The Memorial park will be more than mere token of appreciation of a duty we'll performed by patriotic and courageous men. It will be d place of recreation where our peo- pie can gather for diversion, out door sport and entertainment. And, in decade or two hence, when Pine Bluff will have expanded far beyond the present suburbs, the people will gratefully acknowledge the foresight, thoughtfulness and consideration of the Pine Bluffians who generously established at least one place of re- creation for the people.

and the custom is that where they are established, they are placed TOT all entire block, not a few feet ID d block. Ihls system opvlates the ne cesslty o1 zlg-zagglng through block of safety zone signs.
 "The present system has proven complete failure III the oplnlon ol most people, why not give the May or's original plan trial? The cl1y council should either do that or re- peal all ordinances. The matter of regulating automobiles is not a play thlng; it is a business, convenience and an accident preventive and It should be looked at in a serious way
 Il would like to make one other criticism and that of. our great munl- cipal court and the system adopted by the police department, who have q habit of calling up our good cltl- zens by telephone at 6 o'clock III the morning, with instructions to appear in the municipal court at $ o'clock. If this was imperative and this great court so busy, that it took all day to handle it's business, there might be some excuse for it, but since, as 1 understand, the court only convenes about once a day and the average number of hours of actual court is one day, why this daylight notice to innocent violators to appear III the court by 8 o'clock? If it is for the principal purpose of taking for fcitures, surely this court is not es- tablished to persecute the innocent good citizens and it seems to the writer that ordinary judgment would impel this department to give it's victims a reasonable chance at a reasonable hour to defend themselves against charges of traffic violations.
 T hope you will continue your editorial pleas for sane regula- tion of this traffic problem.
 "Yours very truly,
 "E. B. BLOOM"

"Pine Bluff, Ark, Sept. 22, 1919. 1.-The Editor of The Graphic,

"Pine Bluff, Ark, Sept 22, 1919. "1he Editor of The Graphic,
 Dear sir:
 "l want to commend your splendid editorial in Saturdays Graphlc, re- lative to the present auto parking regulations. l agree with you that 1t IS failure. Just about as com plete failure as could be imagined and to 90 per cent of the people, it is wholly devoid of regulations.
 ''So far as relieving the situation is concerned, the city council might just as well not have passed the ordinance. The only benefit accur- ing from it's passage is that which the city derives from the imposition of fines for violations of an ordi- nance, that few, people understand and which if one Is to obey the re- gulations would be compelled to car ry copy of the ordinance with him, because of the variations in parking, which are almost as many as we have streets in the city.
 "1 have discussed these regulations with number of our best people and 1 have yet to find a single per son in this tGwn84to approve the or dinance. They do not publicly com plain, because it's the habit of Pine Bluff citizens to submit to being kicked and cuffed around, imposed on and inconvenienced more patiently than any other class of citizens in the world.
 Our streets are more congested now if possible than they were be- fore the passage of this ordinance, because on Main street for instance and Second avenue, the law compels you to park car paralled with the side walk and since the brilliantly visible safety zone signs and mar kers' have been placed on these streets, which prohibits the park+ ing of a car within their limits only about half of each block on Main street, between Second and Sixth are available for parking purposes.
 "And speaking of the safety safety zones and signs, one can hardly imagine a more ridiculous or Imaginable system than we have The sign is hardly visible a half block away. They are so frail that an ordinary wind will blow them over and their colors vary with the rain bow. They are extremely stingy'y not only in size but in numbers. I might suggest that I have seen these safety zones in a great many cities

CRUCIAL TIME FOR THE
 TREATY.

While President Wilson is swing ing back east on the last leg of his speaking tour in behalf of the league, the senate will be making the final fight on treaty ratification this week.
 Leaving California where he made a triumphal tour, the president will reach Little Rock next Saturday. His tour will end the following Monday at Louisville.
 In the senate the first test vote on the treaty will come this week, The president will be back in Wash ington when the final ratification vote is taken.
 It is a crucial week for the treaty, Within the next seven to ten days, the United States will decide whether it will be in the League or will play a lone hand. If the treaty fails of ratification, the whole question of a league and peace with Germany will be thrown back into internationIal discussion again. If we are forced to renew negotiations with Germany we may not get as good peace as we ordinarily would have had. In the meantime we shall not have in- dustrial peace in the United States The crying need of the United States for peace conditions will not be sat isfied. Conditions will continue chaotic.
 The people of this country should ret their congressman know now how they feel about this question.

There isn't a member of the grand iury's vice committee who ever earn ed his living by reportorial or editor ial work on newspaper. Other pro- fessions and occupations are pretty we'll represented on the inquisitorlal body. But the newspaper publishers were the only ones who were told how to run their business. The vice com mittee didn't presume to tell the mer- chant what articles they should of- fer patrons; bankers what rate ot in- terest they should charge and to whom they should make loans; in- surance men what risks they should accept; farmers what crops they should plant, or real estate men to whom they should rent their houses.
 Excepting the newspaper workers, every man in his conceit believes he knows all about the newspaper busi ness, but there a darned few of them who would back their newspaper ideas with their own money, and fewer who do the things they want the newspaper men to do.

AN INDUSTRIAL ARMISTICE.

The appeal of Attorney General Palmer, backing up that of Presi- dent Wilson, for a six months truce between labor and capital may fall upon deaf ears, but it should not. 1t lis made with due solemnity on the eve of threatened strike inthe steel industry which may rend the indus trial situation to it's very core if car ried out ill completeness. Regard less of who is right or who is wrong in the steel dispute no one can escape the force of the logic that strikes right now will do more than anything else to delay if not defeat the very ends they seek to secure, says the Commercial Appeal.
 Attorney General Palmer speaks very plainly and very cogently when he says:
 Labor is asking larger
 share of the joint product of
 money and labor, and there is
 much merit in the claim; but the
 chance of getting it is not ad-
 vanced nor the justice of it more
 widely recognized by the refusal
 of labor to produce. likeness is
 no panacea for the ills from
 which the country suffers.
 Work may be. The cost of life
 is only enhanced by the idleness
 of men; it can be reduced by the
 intelligent industry of all"
 No one can deny that the energy wasted in strikes, called to make wages more nearly meet the cost of living, if applied to production would be the surest means of all of bridg- ing the chasm. A decreased produc- tion will make prices only higher and with the workers out of employ ment their conditions will be made immensely worse instead of being bettered. Justice and logic both are nothing more nor less than applied common sense and Attorney General Palmer is speaking in this latter strain.

We are glad to hear that Governor Brough has decided to retire from Ar kansas politics. For time, it ap- peared that he would change his mind and elect to try to get elected.
