THE TOWN ELECTION
There should be no bitterness
or ill-feelings cherished by any
one over the recent city election.
For keen interest and rivalry be
tween friends of the various can
didates, it probably surpassed any
election ever held in Newark, but
it was a clean, open-handed fight,
and The Journal does not believe
that any dirty politics was played
or unfair advantages taken by
anyone. It is no bad omen to see
the people take a keen interest in
matters that effect the public wel
fare. The community in which
all the people take an active part
in public affairs is usually a pro
gressive community, and it shows
a healthy public sentiment. The
i only thing to guard against is the
j. |4he springing up of petty ani
Isities, which, if nursed, grow
' grow until they become a
ace to neighborliness and
fellowship among those who
►*ld be friends. But we see no
indications of such conditions
and The Journal merely drops
these thoughts because it is well
for all of us to occasionally think
a little along these lines. Be it
said to their credit, the people of
Newark, regardless of their atti
* tude in these little local scraps, are
'o broad-guaged to allow matters
' this kind to affect their high
(crsonal regard and their friend
_ ,i'0. neighbors. It is
good to live among such people.
Man is master of his own des-1
tiny and he but ackowledges his ,
own weakness when he attributes'
to luck what comes from miscon
duct or bad management. The
treatment he gets from his fellows
is, as a rule, of the kind he has giv
en. The health he has is to a
great extent a product of his en
vironments and his care of him
self. His success or failure in his
vocation is due to the observance
of natural laws or the lack of ob
servance of them. It is not luck
but self that each of us is depen
dent upon for our success and
happiness, for we are not dealing
with chance but with law invinci
ble and unchangeable.
Summarizing in a paragraph
some of the advantages of good
roads, a set of resolutions adopted
by an Illinois Good Road Associa
tion says: “Improved roads means
better schools and longer attend
ance, better health and quicker
trasportation, better farms and
more cultivated land, better crops
and cheaper transportation, better
economic conditions and more
producers, better social conditions
and less isolation, better church
attendance and better citizens,
better postal service and closer
friends, better and more consum
ers, better industries and more
employment and a better state.”
These are all things quite worth
while. Good roads cost money
but the returns compensate for
the expenditure.
It is unfortunate, but true, that
in almost any town there are peo
ple who rarely speak a commend
atory word about the town in
which they live. A word of com
mendation at the right time may
be a great benefit to the town,
while a disparaging word may
have the opposite effect. Those
old pessismists who are always
hunting for the dark spots—and
almost every town has a few such
—should turn about face, put
their shoulder to the wheel and
help push, instead of standing in
the rear and pulling back in an ef
fort to stop the wheels of progress.
The town election is over. Let’s
bury the hatchet, forget it and be
friends. If everybody will join
hands and put half as much en
thusiasm into a permanent move
ment for a bigger and better New
ark as was put into the election,
we will have a much better town.
And, really, is there any reason
why we cannot do so?
“The Lord made Tennesse, but
the devil made its politics,” says
the Commercial Appeal. If that
is true, “when the roll is called up
yonder,” there’ll be an awful si
lence when Brer Ham Patterson’s
name is called.
---
The world does not dictate what
a man shall do, but it does de
mand, and has a right to demand,
that he shall do something, and do
it the very best he knows how.
“Keeping the mouth shut pre
vents snoring,” says a specialist.
It has also been known to prevent
many other things quite as un
pleasant.

The cities may have their little
mobs and riots, but the farmers
will plow and sow and reap and
feed their stock, and go forth to
their labors until the evening.
The farmers have ever and al
ways will be the hope of the
world. _
The Journal would like to see
a movement started to put in an
electric light plant in Newark.
Many towns no larger than this
have lights and we see no reason
why Newark should continue to
grope in the darkness.
A clergyman at Millington,
Tenn., has adopted a novel method
of building a chuch. He calls up
on people to send him one brick
by parcel post, and already he is
being deluged with building ma
terial. _
Its the man who keeps persist
ently at it that wins success. He
may make mistakes that cost him
money and valuable time, but if
he gets up and keeps coming, he
finally gets there.

NEWARK, : : : ARKANSA8
ARKANSAS' CONDITION
(J. L. Brown, of Charlotte)
In good old days of long ago,
Before we sang the the song of Joe,
The one who’s gone wrong you know—
We people had a State.
We thought her law so plain, you
know,
We thought we held the reins, you
know,
But that thought was vain, you know—
It is not so, of late.
For since the days of Turning Joe,
Old Freedom’s lamp’s been burning
low;
The people have been learning so—
That Joe T. lives for self.
His pocket’s good—his highest aim—
He’ll stoop to any sort of game,
Without a blush or thought of shame,
To gather in the pelf.
The people now have lost their will,
The ballot box is dead and still,
And Joe T. runs the legal mill—
To give the State her rule.
He gives his folks the place, just so,
A shame and disgrace to Joe,
But Joe T. won the race, you know—
And Joe T. is no fool.
The people thought they had a law,
For to govern Arkansas,
But it seems there was a flaw—
As late events have told them.
When Tricky Joe went from his seat,
Out through this flaw he did retreat,
And left upon the Governor’s seat
His kinsman. Mr. Oldham.
Six years Joe T. will hold his place,
Tho not in honor, but disgrace;
liis name the state will then erase,
For Arkansas will tell him
That it is her chief delight,
As freemen in a ballot fight,
To vote a dead dog out of sight
So far you cannot smell him.
You’d better be a wand’ring tramp,
Who with the farmer’s cattle camp,
Upon the barn tloor, dark and damp,
To get up soon or later;
Than to hold an official seat,
Gained by trickery and deceit,
When everybody that you meet,
Will know you as a traitor.
