The editorial policy of the erst
while sleepy old Arkansas Gazette
is showing a marked improvement
under the new management.
In a few more years, if the win
ters keep getting colder and the 1
summers hotter, a thermometer |
with a tube less than two feet long j
won’t be worth a snap.
An exchange sa,\ s the ministers
don't preach long sermons these
days, but “simply points to the
thermometer and advises the con
gregation to think of the hereaf
ter.” _
It is said that Attorney General
Murphy will be a candidate for
governor two years hence. The
attorney general's otlice. it seems,
is only used these days as a step
ping-stone to the governor's office.
When it came right down to!
business Myers backed down and
wouldn't meet Jetf on the stump.•
so Attorney General Murphy and
Myers will stump a part of the
state together, while Davis wipes
up the earth with Greaves in tin*!
territory not covered by Murphy
and Myers.
The State Republican says that
“mistaken policies affecting party!
management is no excuse for de
serting one’s party organization." I
Will the 'steemod Republican
please point out an offense of such
i>ovportions that would justify the
voter in turning away from his
party 1 It seems to us that when
an intelligent voter thro roughly
satisfies himself that the leaders of
his part.\ are leading tin* party in
to the boneyard, then he is justified
in turning away, especially when
he gets to the gate and gets a
glimpse of what the future holds
in store for him if he blindly fol
lows the leaders and marches in.
But the Republican no doubt
thinks the boneyard too good a
place for the “insurgents.”

As Uncle «I im Jones of Arkansas
waxes in years it is fitting that the
president should relegate him tc
dignified seclusion by appointing
him to the isthmian canal commis
sion. We may venture to hope
however, that Uncle Jim vvil
make a better job of digging tin
canal than he did of running the
democratic party.-Chicago Chron
icle.
The State Republican says, “tin
president's remarks on trusts
knocks a few more planks out o
the democratic platform.” If re
marks‘would knock things ou
Tumultuous Teddy would have ti
record as a smasher that woulc
make Aunt Carrie Nation envious

learned that a prayer book don'

POOR HARRY.
The people of the state will be
t rented to some rare old sport whei
Harry and Jell’ meet on tin
stump. Arkadelphia Standard.
Hut they will not meet on the
stump, and it is not. Harry’s fault.
Jeff wants something easy. -State
Republican.
But later developments prove
that it was Harry and not Jeff win
was trying to evade the joint can
vass, and now Harry absolutely
refuses to go into the canvas
anyway if Greaves is allowed tc
participate. Not Harry's fault:
Mavbe not: but whv did Harry
pull back and try to keep Greave.'
out? Not only Harry, but the en
tire “regular” state committee, b
using its utmost influence to kecj
the “insurgent” candidate in tin
background. Harry knows tlial
Greaves will bring the family
skeleton out of the closet, and
that's exactly what Harry don’t
want. After Greaves gets through
with him, and Jeff runs him
through his sausage grinder, poor
Harry will not bo lit for soap
grease. __
THK TRUE N EWSPAPER.
It is useless for a newspaper to
try to please everybody, but in
endeavoring to fairly and fearless
ly advocate the rights of the peo
ple we are glad to know that the
great, majority of our readers
heartily indorse the position taken
by The Journal. The paper has
made many friends and some ene
mies. We appreciate the friends
we have made, and regret that it
is sometimes necessary to say
bhings and advocate principles that
\nuse opposition from the leaders
_>f little sore headed cliques and
combines. However, we shall go
m printing the news, telling the
ruth and advocating the principles
ive believe to be right, regardless
>f the effects it may have on
•uque.s ana combines. A tearless
newspaper may expect, to make
collie enemies, hut the paper that
never make* an enemy makes hut
few friends. In their effort to of
fend nobody, they disgust every
body. Happily there are multi
plying instances of newspapers
that are highly successful, though
mtirely independent and ready at
vny and all times to -speak their
minds freely in the face of party
>r local prejudice.
THE RACE QUESTION.
In a well and strongly written
alitorini in reply to an article on
:ho negro question by a Boston
fellow by the name of Sledd who
iretead-s to think that the negroe
.* the equal of the white man, the
Atlanta Constitution -says, among
>ther things that as for the com
plaint of Mr. Sleddand the Boston
•ult that the negro must ride in
second class cars and eat in negro
•estaurauts. apart from the whites,
ve do not accept resposibility for
tliowe things. Any northern man
who wants to open u restaurant on
the bi-colored plan can doubtless
obtain a license for the same by
paying the cash at the counter of
| the city clerk and then get what
custom he can. We have free
1 trade in such matters down here
and people are free to sell or re
fuse to sell their wares to whom
they please.
“We may also remark that
most of our railway lines are now
\ owned and controlled by investors
and managers who live in the east
and north. There is no law to
prevent the railway owners from
giving the colored people as fine
^ ears as can be turned out from the
Pullman or Wilmington factories.
The question of what fashion of
car the railway will furnish is not
a matter of legal compulsion. The
only requirement public sentiment
makes is the legal separation of
the races and that is done for
most wholesome reasons that bene
fit both races
THE ANNUAL PICNIC.
'The Newark annual picnic will
be held this year on Thursday,
August 7. We wish our friends
and neighbors to help us make it

cordially invited to come and have

Crops in Need of floisture.
Following is tl>e weekly sum
mary of Arkansas weather ami
crop conditions, issued by Sec
tion Director E. B. Richards :
Continued warm weather, with
an almost total absence of rain,
were the cbaiacteristic features
of the weather during the week,
and all crops are beginning to
show the need of moisture. In
some localities cotton continues
to grow too rapidly, is making too
much weed, and is not fruiting
j well ; very few grown bolls are
! reported ; on the whole, the crop
is in very good conditions and the
I prospects very flattering : a sea
sonable rain would lie beneficial
to the crop, especially on uplands.
Farlv corn i* practically made and
the indications are fayorable for
a large yield ; rain would benefit
the late corn. Wheat and oat
i “About a year ago my hair was
coming out very fast, so I bought
a bottle of Avef’s Hair Vigor. It
stopped the falling and made my
hair grow very rapidly, until now it
j is 45 inches in length.”—Mrs. A.
Boydston, Atchison, Kans.
There’s another hunger
than that of the stomach.
Hair hunger, for instance.
Hungry hair needs food,
needs hair vigor—Ayer's.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor always
restores color, and makes
the hair grow long and

threshing continues; in some
localities the yield ot both will be
better than was expected, but not
sufficient to change the previous
estimates of the yields of these
crops. Fruit conditions remain
practically unchanged, although
some slight improvement in
peaches is reported, and apples
are not dropping as much as they
were, but the quality is very in
ferior. Considerable peas have
been sotvn and they are doing
well; some have already been
marketed.

Buzzard in Citurch.
Clarendon, July 15.—The antics
ot a buzzard at a negro church
meeting here Sunday have arous
ed all the hereditary superstition
in some of the colored people of
Clarendon. The buzzard entered
the church during the progress of
the service and deliberate!}
sought out the pulpit, where it
perched itself, fiom which point
j it viewed the congregation with

forts to frighten it away were uu

seized and thrown out of the
church. Many of the negroes,

The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
This combination is the cause, and the important -cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35 000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning further large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.'’
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
of perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. J he incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and such advancing progress.
We solicit inquriesof all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
