The people of Arkansas will
never have so favorable an oppor
tunity to exhibit to the world the
resources of the state as the St.

is not too late to send in fresh ;

with them a strenuous effort

The prospects are that there
will be a strong effort made at the
ensuing session of the legislature
to secure the passage of a segre
gation bill, to devote the taxes de
rived from each race to the educa
tion of their own children. Sen
timent in favor of the measure
seems to be rapidly gaining
throughout tin* state. The color
ed tax-payers of the state pay a
very small per cent of the taxes
that go to maintain their schools.
As a rule schooling does the aver

The only kind of consump

consumption.”
People are learning that con
sumption is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
Scott’s Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of Scott’s Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where Scott's Emul
sion is.
Prompt use of Scott’s Emul
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

it, therefore, seems unjust to tax
the white man in order to main
tain schools for the negro. If the
negro wants to educate himself
let him do so, hut let’s not tax the
white man to do it.
1)11) IT HAPPEN?
Editor Newark Journal:
In your issue of the 12th of Au
gust, you stated, in reporting
Gov. Davis’sjw*ech, that the re
publicans ‘‘in their national con-1
vention. caused a beautiful white!
girl to march arm in arm with aj
big, thick-lipped negro boy on the
platform around the convention
hall." 1 took occasion to refute
this statement in my speech in
your town on tin* 81st, u 11.. and
in your issue of this week you
comment on that portion of the
speech, and sa.v that my statement
was false. To make such a charge
as that you should have some res
pectable proof. You can not find
a single reputable paper in the
United States that reports such an
occurrence in that convention. I
state again that 1 was there from
beginning to end, through every
session, and that there was noth
ing of that kind took place in that
hall. You insist there was. How
do you know? Were you there?
1 am charitable enough to believe
that your apparent quentioning of
rpy veracity comes from your Da
vis-hydrophobia, so recently con
tacted, rather than from any set
led, natural depravity.
Yours truly,
(’mas. F. Cole.
No, sir, Mr. Cole, we are pleas
'd to say, we were not there. Not
juilty, thank the Lord!
But we occasionally read the pa
>ers and fortunately (or, rather,
wfortunately, for the few republi
cans, who, like yourself, are
ishamed of the incident) the Ass< -
dated Press representatives were
here and witnessed the inspiring
{) scene. But, unlike yourself,
hey don’t deny that they saw it.
)n the contrary, they sent the
lews broadcast over the world,
hat the people might know the
facts in the case.
You say that we can not iind
i reputable paper in the United
States that reports such an occur
rence.
All right, Mr. Cole. The Jour
nal did not say that the negro boy
md white girl marched arm in arm
iround the hall: those are (jover
lor l>avis’ words. But The .Jour
nal did say that a negro boy and a
white girl were placed upon the
platform and that they waved
lags and joined in the demonstra
tion.
Now, Mr. Cole, just turn back
md examine a copy of any daily
paper receiving the Associated
Press service' published on Friday
morning, dune 24. Or, If you
prefer that we name one, just ex
imine a copy of the St. Louis lie
public or the Memphis Commer
cial Appeal, of the date mentioned.
1 )n the tirst page of the St. Louis
Republic under the head “Roose
velt and Fairbanks Nominated,"
we find an account of the nomina
tion, and of the demonstration that
followed. Immediately following
we find these words:
I he delegates, in their eager
ness to exhibit approval of the
nomination, accepted every signal
for renewed cheering. A little ne
gro boy from (ieorgia and later a
pretty little white girl, dressed in
si dainty frock of white, were lift
L'd to the platform and they wav
ed flags with as much vigor as
their more lusty preceptor.
It, must have happened, Mr.
Cole. Hut you will, no doubt,
dill insist that you were there and
that “nothing of that kind took !
place in that hall.” Well, you are
welcome to repeat your denial if
you want to, but it looks rather
had for a pillar in the church to
still stand up and swear that his
mule is sixteen feet high after it
has been measured and found
wanting.
Ta, ta, Hre’r Cole.
