poNzrs BUBBLE BURSTS.

Wanted by the State authorities on charges of larceny and in the hands of the Federal authorities on other charges, Boston's wizard o1 finance" Charles Ponzi is shown to have been travelling much the same old way to precisely the same old end of a blow-up and large losses to countless numbers of credulous peo- ple, says the New York World.
 It will probably appear in the summing up that the Ponzi bubble differs in no important measure from the hundreds of other get-rich-quiek schemes which have preceded 1t-ail resting in the last analysis on the promise of ridiculously extrsvagant interest return which is paid for a time from the money that comes pouring into the hands of the games operators.
 All of the blowers of such bubbles of course veil themselves in mystery as to how the lent money can double itself so very soon. Pcnzi IS the same. But he differs in being able to be much more plausible in the hints thrown out. Everybody knows what demoralization reigns in inter- national exchanges as result of the great war. and it is we'll known that the United States Post Office has throughout adhered to the old agree ment of the International Postal Con- vention and charged the par exchange rates for foreign money-orders when the market rates have been from a third to two-thirds lower. That ought to be proposition as broad as it is long or as workable one way as the other. And Ponzi's claims of profit ing by it doubtless have substance
 But it has been unthinkable that he could have extended these oper- ations to the scale of either prin- cipal or profit which is represented For the most part it is clearly. the old ruse of drawing in the money .o1 thousands by offering and paying an extravagant interest return from the money lent. by the earlier hun dreds. It is "52O Per Cent Miller over again, with Bostoa's nine days wonder-worker in international ex change revealing at the last prisol record somewhat similarly extended

Roosevelt Says
 Wilson '.Put One
 Over" Lloyd George

Butte, Mont, Aug. President Wilson "put one over" on Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain in the distribution of voting strength in the league of nations, Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic vice presi- dential nominee, declared in an ad- dress here today. The republicans are playing a shell game on the Am erican people, the nominee declared, because "they are still busy circu- lating the story that England has six votes to America's one"
 Tt is just the other way" he went on. "As matter of fact, the Uni ted States has about 12 votes in the assembly until last week I had two Fof them myself and now Secretary Daniels has them. You know I have had something to do with the run ming of couple of little republics. Facts are that wrote Haiti's con stitution myself, and if Ido say it. l think it a pretty good constitu- #tion."

To Probe Whether
 Tickle" is Genuine

New York, Aug. 18.-James Shev- lin, federal prohibition enforcement agent, today started an investigation to ascertain whether there was really "tickle" in the little souvenir bot ties passed out last night at the opening performance of "Tickle Me-" at local theatre.
 While singing an encore to one number entitled "We've got some thing" the chorus girls passed down the aisies carrying baskets with tiny bottles lablled whiskey. Overcoming a wholesome timidiW, few in the audience opened their souvenirs, sniffed, tasted, smacked their lips and gave exclamations and applause that left no doubt as to their opinion of the refreshments.

SERVICE COSTS MONEY.


 Every day one hears some one ask aWhy doesn't the city repaVe Pine street between Barraque and Fourth?H "Why can't Pine Biun have a beautiful city park such as other cities have ?" "Why is it that persons passing through Pine Bluff on train always see Main jtreet Uttered with papers and whathot, like a village street the morning af- ter the street carnival leaves?" and similar queries. s
 Most of these same people, if call ea upon to pay 2 fair part of the cost or buying and improving a city park, repaving the principal streets needing improvement, hiring an, ad- equate street cleaning force to keep our streets looking spic and span, or doing other things that might help make the town better, would drop the subject like 3 hot stone.
 One of the chief differences be- tween the cities and towns of the old South and East and those of the new West, is the seeming inability of the people in the former sections to appreciate that in order to get something good you must expend time and money, whether it be in public improvements or in private purchases. The result is seen as we'll by the census returns as by a trip to some of those progressive communities that make, lot of us ashamed every time we compare ou, Arkansas cities with them.
 In those live Oklahoma towns that show poplation increases ranging from 50 to hundreds of per cent in the census returns, the people ap- preciate that to get clean, excellent ly paved streets, adequate schools and magnificent public buildings and parks, the local governments must have money, and they act according iy- Many of these towns have heavy indebtedness in the form of bonds and all of them have higher tax rates that we know of in Arkansas but they have something to show fol their money that attracts people and capital, making them more prosper. ous and better able to pay their nun lclpal obligations as they come due
 Arkansas cities are greatly hand. icapped through the provision of the present state constitution denying 5 them the right to issue bonds te raise money. This doubtless will be remedied within comparatively short time, enabling cities to borrow money at lower rates than they now pay and at the same time providing for sinking funds with which to re. tire these bonds.
 Meanwhile, there are certain bad. ly needed improvements in every city in the state that could be made II the public were willing to pay the cost thereof in higher taxes. Taxes paid for public improvements art not form of extortion If tht money is spent as carefully ans wisely as it should be, these taxe, VIII be an investment that will pa, excellent returns in increased val ues, through the growth of the com munity. Money wisely spent ii making city or community bet yer place in which to live, is never thrown away. It will return goot interest to the property holder who pays it.
 The sooner the public comes to g proper appreciation of the fact that paAlic improvements are as good ar investments as; wise private imbroye, nents, the sooner we shall get into tAs progressive stride communities San some other sections adopted years aso, and have profited thereby ever sinee.

Middlsbury. Nov. 26.--On the charge of
election fraud, Albert w. Austin. deputy
Fish and Game Warden OF Middlebury.
was arrested last Friday and arraigned
before Municipal Judge Albert w. Dickens
at which time he entered a plea OF not
guilty He was held in the sum CT 500
bail for his later appearance.
Mr.. Austin moved from tine netghbor'ng
town OF Weybr,dge to Middlebu,y Last
May. but the transporting Of Eic goods

ballot In the exceedingly close contest
for the position of town representative
OF Weybridge then in progress between
