ONE BIG CRITICISM ANSWERED

Some of the critics have a great
deal to say about the length of time
the peace conference is taking to per,
form and perfect it's work.
The Arkansas Gazette answers
these critics with the following clinch-
ing facts:
After all, peace doesn't appear to
be dragging when we compare the
present conference with other confer,
ences. For example, the armistice In
our Spanish war was signed August
II, 1898. and the treaty was not 81 en-
ed until December L. 1t followed a
short war and the problems were rela
lively simple The issues that must
be settled by the present conference
affect every nook and Granny of the
world"

SENATOR DUNCAN U. FLETCHER

Our local columns yesterday gave
full attention to the visit made 20
cur people this week by Senator
Fletcher and how glad we were to
shake his honest hand.
To the editorial eye it seemed TO
us like the senator and his successor
were both here. The word both" Is
we use it, we intend to apply to one
and the same man. Duncan U.
Fletcher will be his own successor.
If he is not, then we mistake the
temper of the people of Florida. III
course, there are politicians who are
keeping what they call little pOliti-
cal scrap books, and every little par.
agraph or squib they can find criticis-
ing the senator (if really there be
any such-we do not see them) they
will, after while, build them into
faults of mountainous magnitude.
They used to do Henry Clay that
way and Daniel Webster and Thorn
as Benton and Bob ToOmbs and Alex
ander Stephens and Ben Hill and VIM
L. Yancey But the people will ul-
derstand
Senator Fletcher stands high in
the nation now. and is a credit to
Florida. He is true TO his people

Barber Blossoms Out
With New Hair Tonic
Gary Barber Shop Swamped
With Calls for Haircuts,
Neck Shaves and
Everything.

Until yesterday James Hutchin-
sons tonsorial parlors at 1716
Washington street in Gary was one
of the most popular places in the
city. and like everything else there
was a sole reason.
This is also what a police officer
often thought as he watched the
business vending in and out of the
door. "Hutchinson's got a gold mine
there" he pondered. but, gee. he
certainly does a slight of hand act
with share and hair cut, turns EN-
out as quick as the jerk Of a lambs
tail"
Then the inevitable happened.
The sleuth noticed a customer or
dering a hair tonic. 1t was not the
sweet scented aroma of the barber
shop. but the odor of something ia
miliar. oh. so familiar in the days
when Gary had cabarets. wine and
song.
Instead Of containing bay rum
and tonics. the sly sleuth nosed
about and learned to his surprise.
that the small necked bottles were
filled with red. red liquor and never
was II intended for a face lotion or
hair tonic. nor was il ever used for
the purpose. When Hutchinson's
friends come in they ordered tonic
and smiling they went away
smackinE their lips.
Today there IS a noticeable de-
crease in Hutchinson's trade. He
was placed under arrest and the liq-
uor confiscated for evidence and now
the owner is facing the serious
charges of violating the state liquor
law.
