Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
If revenge is sweet, Senator
Haney ought to feel like he had
been rolled in ’lasses.
Wonder if Gen. Joe Lyons’ local
option purp doesn't look to him
now a good deal like a skunk?
We noticed in an exchange re
cently a statement that “Editors
knowr but little about money.’’
We w’onder if that was published
as a new's item?
There are good men who do not
believe in advertising—but that
signifies nothing. There w'ere
many men wrho did not believe
the w'orld was round, but it was |
round all the time. The earth did
not change it’s shape; men merely
altered their views.

When we improve agriculture,
everything else improves, because
that is the foundation upon which
everything else rests. Better farms
and better farmers, means better
business for the merchant, the
banker, and everybody, because
the world draws its supplies and
its wealth from the soil.
Ten states have approved the
proposed seventeenth amendment
providing for the direct election
of United States senators. Gover
nor Robinson declared himself in
favor of this amendment, and then
turned around and proved himself
a liar by using his influence to de
feat a senatorial primary.
All human progress has been
built on broken precedents, where
somebody dared to depart from
beaten paths. There are always
a lot of people who raise a howl
wrhen anything new or different is
proposed; but the world would still
be in the stonehatchet age if every
body had always listened to this
class of people.
The proposed sixteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution
has now been approved by three
fourths of the state legislatures. It
provides for a tax on incomes, and
will yield the government an im
mense revenue. It is too late for
the present session of congress to
enact it into law, but the first ses
sion of congress under the Dem
ocratic administration will prob
ably enact a law putting it into
effect.
Commissioner Jno. H. Pape, in
a f 'cent ’-eport says that if all th<
eggs produced in Arkansas in om
year, were loaded in refrigeratoi
cars 40 feet long, containing 40('
cases of 30 dozen each, they would
make a solid train 134 miles long
This is “some eggs” and goes tc
j show that even the humble hen is
i doing her best to help boost Ark
1 ansas.

Clay Sloan, former state agricul
tural commissioner, says “I know
there is much written and spoken
just now about child labor, child
health, child amusement and en
tertainment and education, and
there is much truth in it; but there
is no greater preserver of integrity,
builder of thrift or promoter of
decency and good citizenship than
labor—industry —work! Educate
the child, look after his health,
furnish amusement, yes; but as
sign him duties to perform as soon
as he has strength to perform
them, if you desire him to be
freest from faults and reach a full
and efficient man or womanhood.”
Old John Baileycorn has given
many a poor fellow a black eye,
and nobody was blamed but the
victim, but right at the present
time Old John seems to be getting
a little bit of whata coming to him.
The Aakansas legislature has pass
ed a law, under which liquor can
not be sold in a single town in the
state, with the possible exception
of Hot Springs. The national
house of represenatives, on last
Saturday, by a vote of 240 to 65,
passed the Webb bill to prohibit
the inter-state shipment of liquor
into dry states. The senate took
up the bill Monday as a substitute
for the Kenyon-Shepard bill,
which was set for that date, and
the Webb bill passed by a viva
voce vote. Its a long lane that
never turns, but for John it seems
that there is going to be a turn in
the lane.
We dislike to rub salt on a fel
low’s sore spots but we can’t help
but wonder how the Sharp Coun
ty Record feels now when it re
members that only a few short
months ago it was diligently
searching the dictionary for words
with which to sing praises of Joe
T. Robinson? If the Record’s
political foresight was as good as
its command of language, it would
be a corker. But the Record is
just now expressing about the
same views of Robinson as were ex
pressed by The Journal a year
ago. Joe T. has never been a
statesman, and there is nothing in
his record to indicate that he will
ever be one. He is a suave and
eloquent hot air artist, an artful
Inauguration Ceremonies

The inauguration of Woodrow Wilson

the most spectacular of any inaugural
ceremony ever held at the National
Capital. The city will be brilliantly and

throng will be there—the sight will
be grand and inspiring.

lutely devoid of constructive abil
ity as a statesman. The stuff is
not in him that statesmen are

impossible to make a real states
