KEEP MR. WILSON IN OFFICE The vote in the recent primary indicated that the people of Arkansas are not disposed to displace at Washington men who are doing their duty. In other words, the voters showed that they do not think this is la very good time to play polites. We believe this is the attitude of the voters everywhere, and that the efforts of Roosevelt and Republicans to make capital out of war. measures will meet the rebuff they deserve.

The Graphic hopes the Democrats will again nominate. Woodrow Wilson; that he will accept, and that the Republicans will prove big enough Americans to give him the office without more opposition that necessary to retain the party organization. S. In these days of almost weekly drives nobody is anxious to be rated ais not fully doing his duty; no one wants to be called unpatriotic. Hence practically everyone is meeting each requirement imposed by the war to the best of his or her ability.

But there is a minority that fails in this respect, and this minority usually is of the class that could do much better without feeling the pinch onetenth as much as the majority that its duty, -W. S. WHY MAIL AEROPLANES? It seems that the inauguration of aeroplane mail service between New York and Washington does not meet with unanimous approval. Such a journal as the Christian Science Monitor, which is backing up war activities to the 100 per cent maximum, pauses to question it in the following: "Now that aeroplane mail service between New York, Philadelphia and has been inaugurated, after weeks of preparation land it appears that the government is serious about it, it would seem to be time for some one to explain the purpose of the scheme, and why, in an emergency like the present, aviators, mechan1c5, aeroplane and other equipment U.

CASUALTY LIST Our Specialty Is AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Service Unexcelled. R. H. M. MILLS SONS urgently needed on the battle front should be occupied in an interesting, but not essential, business which can be done better in many respects by train.

It is said that twelve machines are to be used in the service. If they are machines that are capable of war service, it would seem that they should be engaged in it. If they are not, there is little, if any apparent excuse for their manufacture except possibly as practice machines; and if this is given as the reason for their use in this kind of work. it should be explained how a military aviator can learn the things he has to know, in order to win air battles, in a machine that presumably is not suited for fighting, and in a sedate sort of activity that apparently does not offer the kind of training he needs." -W.

We hear every now and then how some soldier has enjoyed a performance at one of the Liberty theatres thru a smileage book sent from home. The boys ought to be well provided with passes to pleasure. Smileage books are on sale in Pine Pluff. Get some and send them to your friends in camp. -W.

S. REGARD THE FUTURE HOPEFULLY It is said that the men in the marts of trade, the captains of industry, the foremost men of the nation- -everyone who has a big stake in our modern and complex civilization--regards the future hopefully. News from the west front cannot shake their confidence in ultimate success. The words "possible defeat" are never in their lexion. The words "ultimate victory" are the only ones they recognize.

It is only when we get down to the ordinary man that pessimism is met with. We see and hear it daily. Let's keep up good spirits. Regard the future hopefully- it'll be different on the west front when' we get there in full force. -W.

S. The Germans tried to swat the Americans yesterday, and received a swat more severe than they hoped to administer. They are being presented with demonstrations of what they may expect when a few more American fighters get into the great game. -W. S.

S. "Somewhere in France" might just as well be written, "In France." And "With the American Army in France" might just as well be date-lined "American Front." There is a waste of words in the manner in which some of our dispatches are handled. -W. S. YES, MONTHLY.

ENJOINS ECONOMY The following has been issued by the Jefferson county Council of Defense: The Council of of National Defense and the advisory commission of the council believe that a concerted effort for economy by the people of the nation will not only go far toward paying America's expense in the war, but will also reduce consumption of raw and manufactured materials essential to the conduct of the war.

The council urges all to refrain from unnecessary expenditures of every "kind, and to bear constantly in mind, that only one thing is now of real importance, and that is the winning of the war. The nation's resources in man-power, money, transportation, food stuffs, raw materials and fuel, have already been subjected to heavy strain, and it is the clear duty of every citizen to guard against increasing this strain by a a single wasteful act. It is most creditable for everyone -man and woman boy and girl--to be economical in dress, food and manner of living. Every evidence of helpful on the part of all in a time like this is most commendable. This war is more than a conflict between armies; it is a contest in which every man, woman and child can and should render real assistance.

Thrift and economy are not only a patriotic privilege, they are a duty. A. H. Chairman H. B.

The car had been placed in the garage, in Beach street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, but a short time before. The batteries were not connected with the motor, and the only explanation of the origin of the fire is that there was a short circuit. The fire department extinguished the blaze quickly, but the car was damaged beyond repair before the firemen were summoned.
