CRIME IS ON THE INCREASE. SAYS
 JUDGE.

Pine Bluff, Sept. 23.-Commenting upon report published in the newspa- pers to the affect that crime is on the decrease. Judge W. B. Sorrells, address, ing the grand jury in Jefferson Circuit Court, said this was a mistake as crime is on the increase. The war may have had something to do with the growing disregard for the law. and the 'shimmy dance is another thing which is to blame. There are just three things which will save civilization and they must use their utmost influence.
 These are the churches, the courts and the newspapers. It is more important than ever before that good men sit upon the grand and petit iuries The officers must do their duty and tn e governor must try to do his and not pardon a criminal within 30 days after he has been convicted. The good people are de- termined that the law shall be enforced and if the officers will not do their duty they are going to elect officers who will.
