The American Civic Association ex
ists for 11 ip co-ordination and direction
of the forces which make for a clean
and tieautiful country. It regards
the hum*- as the unit of our national
life, and the improvement of borne
grounds as the tirst step in civic bet
terment. A community of improved
homes naturally demands the removal
of the unsightly and unsanitary in
its surroundings, and in it is devel
oped t lie civic conscience that provides
public improvements of a sane and
wholesome natuie. A nation of such
communities will preserve the scenic
beauty that is its heritage and foster1
a truly economic national life.
This Association has carried for
ward the work of promoting, develop
ing and organizing a wider interest in
all that relates to the improvement of
our American communities large and
small. It aims to make cities, towns
and villages clean, healthful and at
tractive to live in. It has fifteen de
partments headed by active men and
women who do tilings.
We have felt the influence of this
Association in Forrest City during
t he past several years. The improved
conditions that we find in many
things, has been due to suggestions
made, encouraged by a few citizens,
and the co-operation of the mayor and
other officials of the town. We have
hoi iK*t‘11 uevoid oi pride and ambi
tion. W hv should we lose these now'/
The fact that we have a change in
town officials should lie no reason for
our town people to<1 rift into a state of
apathy and neglect. These ollieials
are supposed to he good citizens; if
they are they should feel the pride of
leadership and help to make our town
a leading example of all that is clean
and beautiful. Lately it has been
said they could not allord to clean the
streets. They can afford to enforce
the law which says trash and refuse
must not be left on the streets.around
the d iors and in the alleys. What a
•simple tiling it would lie to burn such
things. What is it that .’causes ty
phoid fever, smallpox, and even the
terrible plague? We all know.
If the town officials and board of
health will not do their duty it is the
duty of the citizens to arouse them
selves to the fact that our town must
be cleaned from one end to the other,
believing that cleanliness is next to
godliness, and that morality cannot
lie aroused without clean surroundings.

Nome Thoughts on “Salome.”
The dramatic critic of the Lee
-County Courier has been seeing Sa
lomes lately. First he pays his res
peets in three-(|uarters of a column of
roast to the Payton Sisters" interpre
tation of tlie biblical story, and
waxes wroth over the dance of the
lady in the title rolle, saying in part:
“We do not presume to possess aes
thetic taste or esoteric discrimina
tion and therefore could not dis
tinguish the art. if such it be, but if
a female person jumping up and down
and working around, clad in a pair of
gold bracelets, gold band garters and
a hair ornament be art, then shoot us
for a ‘dub.’ The dance is a miniature
hoochee-koochee, libidinous, licentious
and bestial. It has no saving part or
redeeming quality and to mar, l*>
smirch and distort this play so-called
biblical, and founded thereon, by the
injection of this meretricious and me
phitic character and the induction of
this unholy and unscriptural dance
was an offense against good sense equal
almost to a crime." The Courier
goes on with more excoriation of this
character, and “deplores the putrid
and diseased demand of the American
theatre-going public that makes such
an exhibition exhibition of person, if
you please possible, nay profitable.**
Of Clarence Hennett’s “Holy City,”
which appeared here Wednesday night
of last week, and in Marianna the
following night, the critic Is a little
more charitable, hut words his criti
cism so as to amount practically to
"damning by faint praise." and we re
print the latter in full as follows:
“A big audience greeted Clarence
Itennett's Holy City at the imperial
Thursday evening. The version is
(tetter, more authentic, the play
wright coniines himself more closely
to the scriptural text than did the
translator in Salome. The characters
are not equal from a histrionic view
point to tliose of the I’ayton Sisters’
Salome. The dance was there, cover
ed a little more with modern conven
tional dress, but at the same time, im
pressively there. As Elizabeth, Mrs.
Bennett was strong, as Marius Mr.
I »i 11 showed to advantage. The Sa
lome of Miss Harice was mediocre,
the Iscariot of Mr. Houston excellent,
ids John weird and wearisome, and
o'er the rest let silence fall,” To our
mind the Holy City was by far the
finest piece we have had in Forrest
City, and we beg to differ with the
Courier on his view of Salome. Miss
Harice was simply tine in the part.
