No, Thanks.
' The Citizen is in receipt of
five pages of closely written
mimeograph “junk” sent out by
Daddy Walls and Billy Hutton of
the state central committee,
boosting the candidacy of Geo.
W. Hays and heralding him as
the Democratic nominee for
governor at the election to be
held on the 23d inst. with the .
request that we publish same in
our columns.
This bunch of steam roller en
gineers have opened “head
quarters in Little Rock for the!
sole purpose of defeating the I
Hon. S. Brundidge in the coming |
contest and to attempt to right i
their wrongdoings before the
masses who are more thoroughly
convinced daily that Hays did
not receive a majority of the
honest votes cast in the primary
last month.
Their efforts in behalf of
Havs and machine Dolitics are i
nothing less than brazen and
represent the quintessence of
nerve and gall. This paper will
not publish their misstatements
and refuses to be an accessory to
the high-handed attempts of a
selfish few to railroad a candi
date into office who is not the
Democratic nominee as shown
by the election ticket just cer
tified by the secretary of state,
and backed up by the courts of
competent jurisdiction.
No, thanks, ye hungry horde
of pie-eaters and political spec
ialists, your “good readable,
printable copy’’ is not wanted
here, neither are your canned
editorial squibs of cunning words
and twisted phrases.
We are a. busy editor, as you
say, and your offer to “take off
the hands of the busy editor
some of the detail work of pre
paring articles” is too cute for
comment, but we are not too
busy to edit our own columns
for awhile yet. and if an emer
gency should arise to incapaci
tate us from doing so, we would
prefer to fill up our columns
with stale boiler plate rather
than impose your nauseating ef
fusions upon our readers.
We know your game.

“Defeminization.”
“A large percentage of high
school girls wish they were
boys,” says a distinguished col
lege president, who deplores
women's advent into business.
He fears for the "defeminiza
tion" of the fair sex, which this
progress would seem to imply,
and certainly he has good cause
for concern.
One might easily be led to
believe that the girly girl, of
flounces and laces and perfumes
and dimples and sweet depend
ent air is passing into tradition,
and in her stead a stalwart sis
ter comes to the front with hard
muscles and cold eye to wrest
with man for mastery of the
prosaic material things of
life.
It is hard to see the sweet
girl of poetry and romance go
in this way. But is this substi
tution of an active for a passive
personality not a higher evolu
tion of the sex which is both to
her and the world’s advantage?
Does not every triumph she
wins in every avenue of new
endeavor she enters make her
a more valuable member of the
community, and a fitter compan
ion for man? Is not what she
is accomplishing for herself
raising man also to higher stan
dards ?
The remarkable advancement
women have made in the busi
ness world and the professions,
particularly in medicine, proves
more than her right to be there
—it proves her thorough fit
i ness. Success is the highest
i test, and certainly it cannot be
denied that women have achiev
! ed abundant success in the
| fields formerly held sacred to
man. There is scarcely a de
partment of masculine activity
which woman has not invaded,
acquitted herself with credit,
and often with distinction.
Even “defeminization” may
not be such a very dreadful
thing, with such results. It is
not the first time the sex has
been “defeminized”. In the |
old days when the women did
all the hard work, and the men
sat about and gossiped, a “de
feminization” set in that ended
only in making woman a butter
fly of sentimentality and ca
price. Now the pendulum is
swinging back again.
Perhaps the further the Amer
ican girl removes herself from
the conditions of sex servitude
which a less civilized world
brought, the finer will be the
type of developed womanhood
she will represent.
But whatever she is, man will
take her as she is.—Memphis

Fortunes Spent In Trousseaux.
The elaborate trousseaux of mean
here of the smart set would have made
s queen bride of a century ago open
her eyea with amassment. It Is an
ordinary thing for the daughter of a
millionaire on getting her bridal OB'
try ready to order 30 or 10 hsUk
trimmed with ostrich and other feath
ers, to harmonise with aa many
gowns. Every gown needs a distinct
hat. The equipment of a rich bride
la looked on as Incomplete if It dues
cot contain at least 30 gowns and
such a troussean does not mean the
bride will get no more dresses for •
year. When lingerie and little orna
ments also are taken Into considers

York's smart set must spend many
thousands of dollars for her outfit and
«overnl women have spent $80,000 to

Big Trade In Frozen Meat.
Argentina supplies 90 per cent, of
the frozen beef and frozen mutton
consumed In Sheffield, England. Aus
tralia and New Zealand provide the
remainder. Its use is constantly In
creasing. Fro sen meet Is never sawed,
but it chopped with & cleaver. The
retailers receive the meat In quar
ters which they ohop into angular
blocks, from which the quantities de
rived by customers are out. These
Mocks afford material for Use window
displays, and the windows of frosen
meat shops are generally piled high

beef.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Chappell, of Five Years’
Standing, Relieved by Cardui.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “I suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, and 1 decided to try it. f
had not taken but about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines I had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and 1 told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge vou to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past hali century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret it. All druggists.

NO MAN-FLY ON MONUMENT
Great Commotion at Oepital on Re
port That New Yorker Was
Sealing Shaft.
Rumors that a New York "human
fly,” who has been scaling office build
ings In that city, was ’ climbing the
side of the 555-foot Washington monu
ment, gave this city no end of excite
ment the other day.
Someone discovered a Mack spot on
the side of the shaft, about 1M feet
from tbe top, and then the report
started.
Hundreds rushed toward tbe monu
ment grounds, a half mile from tbe
center of tbe city. Along Pennsyl
vania avenue crowds ooliected nt ev
ery corner and windows and door
ways rapidly filled with people.
Newspaper photographers, who
were early on the scene, and other
investigators brought b«0E word that
the supposed figure only a spot
left by last night's heavy «afn; but up
lO CLU eony uuur uu rcuuoyr
ranla avenue still insisted they could
see the figure move.
The war department, which con
trols the monument, was besieged
with telephone calls.
Nearly three hours after the first
explanation a telephone message from
the capltol said that congressmen
were watching the spot through opera
glasses, and were convinced it occa
sionally moved a little.
Has No Jurisdictloa,
One of Representative Kahn's Cali
fornia constituents wrote to him not
long ago inclosing blue prints of a de
vice he had thought up for "scrutlnlu
ing heavenly bodies," as he put it.
He wished to have an appropriation
of a million dollars or so from con
gress to perfect his device, so that tb«
humblest citizen could know Jnst
what Is going on in Mars and various
celestial points.
Kahn didn't like to offend the man
with a flat refusal of congress to a^
propriate this money, and be put tt t*
him like this:
"We have gone over the situation
carefully, and the best lawyers among
us are of the opinion that we can do
nothing for the reason that congress
has no Jurisdiction over heavenly
bodies.”
Stimulating Effect of Advertising,
And one of the most wonderful
things about advertising Is the stimu
lating effect It has on the advertise?,
whether It be stor> factory or city.
Haven't you noticed that the merchant
who advertises in strong and effective
fashion is the one whose goods are
well displayed in spotless store. ;
whose business rr hods are sound,
whose merchandise measures up ts
the highest stand .rd?—Harbwt A
