Man with Money
has his family
protected with money
in the Brmk.
Doesn’t it make you “sweat blood” to think
what wouid become of those you love, and who
are dependent on you, should you die penniless?
That does not happen to the man with
money. He has done his duty. He saves his
money and puts it in the Bank where it is safe
from fire, burgiars or his own extravagance.

Put YOUR money in OUR bank.

BRUNDIEGE'S COMPLAINT
Mr. Brundidge, candidate
1 *>r tlu* United States Senate,
spoke in Camden a few days
ago. Enumerating the rea ,or>
why Senator Robinson should
not be returned to the Senate
he laid great stress and empha
sis on Mr. Robinson quitting
the governor’s office after his
induction into that office and
getting himself elected to the
Senate.
This complaint of Mr. Brun
didge might be well taken if
it were not a second nature
with all politicians and especi
ally men with political ambi
tion, to take everything in
sight, and knowing Mr. Brun
didge’s persistent and ever in
creasing desire to get and to
hold office it is not at all im
probable that he would have
done as Robinson did, if he
had been governor at that time.
The opportunity came to Rob
inson and he took it, and we
have no proof that the White
county statesman would not
have done the same thing if he
had stood in the path that lead
to Washington.
The people, at that time, did
not approve of Robinson lay
ing down his job as governor,
hut who knows, after all, but
what it was for the best, and
that the finger of fate pointed
to this great crisis at the time
of his election? If it had not
been for Senator Robinson or
some other man like him, Ark
ansas would have been the buM
ol ridicule and contempt in the
eyes of the nation, and we
would have been a weak link
in the chain that is to bind for
ever German autocracy and
aggression. As John Sharp
W illiams ot Mississippi upheld
the honor ol his great state at
the time when the nation need
ed it, so did Senator Robinson
up.iold and load Arkansas
along lofty paths ot patriotism
and national duty when the
fate of the nation hung in the
balance. No act of his in this
crisis has been criticised or
impugned for reason that he i<
doing his level best to uphold
the good right arm of our coun
try while it pounds our enemies
into submission.
It is not a question of men
now, or what men did that oth
ers would do under similar cir
cumstances, but it is a questim]
of winning this war and win
ning it as speedily as possible,
and the men who are attuned
to this one thing should In
given the job of doing it. \V»
want no discordant notes that
would spoil the drama now
being enacted on the plain
and hills of France.—Stephen;
