FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1907
The News says there is a move
ment on foot to organize another
bank at Newport.
The right of every man to
think as he pleases, is one of The
Journal’s pet hobbies and we are
always just as willing to accord j
the other man that right as we are j
to demand it for ourselves.
During the six years he was
governor, Jeff Davis granted aj
total of 1,784 pardons. During |
the last three days of his term he j
issued 27 pardons. lie has issued
more pardons than any man who
ever held the governor’s office in
Arkansas.
Up to the present time, but
few freak bills have been intro
duced in the legislature. If the
members will continue to persue
their present business-like course
for sixty days and adjourn, they
will raise the public’s estimation
of themselves considerably.
The Journal is reliably informed
that the people of Sulphur Rock
Rave organized a company for the
purpose of putting in a canning
factory, and that practically all
the stock has been subscribed and
paid in. This is in marked con
trast to the situation in Newark.
An Adamless Fden in Texas is
the wild dream of Mary F. lladen,
the Chicago novelist, who is ar
ranging to establish a Chicago
colony of one thousand women in
Refugee county. She haa -acquir
ed title to five thousand acres of
land, and is now at work on the
plans for her new and most unique
colony. _
The .Journal has no sympathy
for the boodler, but we must con
fess that we have more respect for
Festus O. Butt who is now in the
pen for bribery than we do for
Senator Adams who accepted the
bribe at Butt’s hands and then
swung on to his office with a death
grip until the senate had to ex
pell him. ___________
Guy B. Tucker, the new com
missioner of mines, manufacture
and agriculture, is doing a good
work for Arkansas by bringing
the abundant resources of the state
to the attention of the w.orld. His
latest move is a call for a meeting
to be held in Little Rock on the
31st of January for the purpose of
organizing a state immigration so
ciety. The Journal hopes that In
dependence county will be well
represented at this meeting.
Got a Cold?
The average per son
can safely count on
having a cold this time
of year, sooner or lat
er. Everyone has his
choice of cough syrup,
but more people are
using White Pine
Cough Syrup with Tar
than anything else,
because it stops the
cough, cures the cold
and heals the lungs.

NEWARK DRUG COMPANY j
Jas. B. Ketchem, flgr. |
In conversation with a well to
do countryman a few days ago in
regard to the erection of a can
| ning factory at Newark, he re
| marked: “Oh, well, what do you
I want with a canning factory i All
Newark needs is just a little more
booze.” And, of course, we “jes
latfed.” _
CITIZENSHIP.
The Journal overheard a remark
a few days ago to the effect that
the blind tiger men are just as
good as some people who go out
to the anti-tiger mass meetings
and take a prominent part in the
proceedings. This may be true so
far as flesh and blood is concerned,
but from a moral standpoint or
from the standpoint of citizenship,
1 it is entirely wrong.
For instance, we are living un
der a government of, for and by
the people—a government in which
the voice of the people is supreme
—at least that is the fundamental
principle upon which our govern
ment is founded. Matters atfect
j ing all questions of local self
1 government are submitted to
the people for their approval or
rejection, and the whole is sup
posed to be governed by the action
of the majority, which is in fact
the only real and true self-gov
iernment, and the individual living
under and participating in such a
government is not a good citizen
who does not abide loyally and
faithfully by the action of the
majority. He may be a good man
iu other respects, a good neighbor,
a kind and accommodating sort of
a fellow,but if he persists in violat
ing a law enacted by a majority of
the people, he is not a good citi
zen; and this the blind tiger men
of Newark have premeditatedly
and persistently done for more
than two years.
At the election held in 11*04 the
people of Independence county,
by a majority of about 300, said
they did not favor the sale of
liquor, and at the recent election
they emphasized this fact by in
creasing the majority to 600.
Then it naturally follows that
the individual who persistent
l.y ignores this decision of the peo
ple, does not entertain the proper
regard for the Republican form of
government, under which all true
Republics are governed, and is, to
that extent, an anarchist.
WHO IS TO BLAME ?
Several days ago a certain citi
zen of Newark was arrainged be
fore Squire Tharp in this city on
a charge of violating the liqour
laws, but was immediately dis
charged, the court holding that
the defendant, having just a few
days before been tried and ac
quitted on a similar charge in the
mayor’s court, could not be tried
again, for the reason that the
docket of the mayor’s court was a
bar to further prosecution.
This caused considerable criti
cism of the mayor and the report
went out that he had exceeded his
authority. It was also said that
legal proceedings would be insti
tuted against him because of this
alleged abuse of his authority.
This led to a further investiga
tion of the matter, and The Jour
nal is informed that there is a dif
ference of opinion, even in legal
circles, as to who erred in the case,
some holding that the construction
placed upon the mayor’s docket
by Judge Tharp was at fault.
The Journal, therefore, does
not know who is to blame, but we
do know that the accused was
turned loose without trial.
We have secured a copy of the
mayor’s docket and publish it
herewith, in order that the public
may judge for itself:
state or .arKansas vs. non
Arnold.
“On the 13th day of December,
1906, came the State of Arkansas
by her attorney, Emmett Jeffery,
and liled complaint that Whort
Arnold was engaged in the clan
destine sale of whisky, or blind
tigering, on or about the 8th day
of December, 1906 ,and on said
day came the attorney for the
State of Arkansas, as well as the
defendant in person and by at
torney, and agreed that said in
vestigation only cover the time
from the 28th day of October,
1906, and up to the present time
this cause came on to be heard.
After a continuance to the 19th day
of December, and after it was
agreed by both parties that a jury
be summoned to try this cause;
and after hearing the evidence of
all the witnesses by the court and
the jury, and the agreement of the
counsel, the jury rendered the fol
lowing verdict: We, the jury,
find the defendant not guilty. It
is therefore ordered and adjudged
by the court that the defendant be
released from custody.”
The above is a copy of the
mayor’s docket, and we leave the
public to be its own judge as to
who erred, Mayor Arnold or
Judge Tharp.
