Plain Facts About
A Dirty Socialist
W. P. Detherow has issued a
circular which he is distributing
over the county in which he
makes an attack upon The
Journal because we refused to
publish a dirty article written
by him some time ago.
We refused to publish his
article and would do so again,
and we have no apology to of
fer.
Detherow makes the false
charge that we let Mr.Edwards
knife him and would not sell
him space in which to reply.
The dirtiest and most contemp
tible liar in the world is the
fellow who tells only a part of
the truth in order to mislead
people, and this is what Deth
erow has done.
Some time ago Detherow
caused to be published in a
dirty rag at Batesville an ar
ticle containing a false, uncall
ed-for, and entirely unwarrant
ed slur upon the citizenship of
Newark and this community.
This paper, considering the
diseased brain of the idiotic
wart of humanity from whom
the article came, expected to
treat the article only with con
tempt, but Mr. Edwards and
others requested us to permit
Mr. Edwards to reply to the
article, which we did.
Detherow worked off
through the Batesville rag the
dirty bunch of lies he had in
his system against Newark, in
an effort to create prejudice
against the people of this com
munity, and spread his Social
istic doctrines. Following this,
we permitted Mr. Edwards to
reply to some of Detherow’s
charges. That ended the mat
ter so far as we were concern
ed, as Detherow had already
slung his barnyard slime all
over the people of Newark,and
we did not feel that he was en
titled to any further considera
tion.
But Detherow sent another
article to The Journal for pub
lication re-iterating a part of
his false charges and contain
ing more of his Socialist dope.
He offered to pay for its publi
cation—that is, to the amount
of one dollar—but we refused
to publish it, and we want to
say here and now that so long
as the present editor controls
this paper, Mr. Detherow has
n’t got enough money nor
can’t borrow enough money to
get us to publish his false and
dirty Socialistic attacks upon
the good people of this com
munity.
The only way he can get such
articles published in this paper
is to buy the entire newspaper
plant and the building it is in.
We stand pat on this, and if
this is worth anything to Mr.
Detherow, he is welcome to tell
the whole world about it if he
desires to do so.
Detherow makes the plea
that he “used to get space in
The Joournal free.” We con
fess with some degree ofshame
that this is true, because we
did not then know the charac
ter of man he is. It has always
been our policy to be absolute
ly fair and square with every
body and we were always fair
with Detherow, but he has
shown that he is not man
enough to appreciate this kind
of treatment.
Detherow’s insinuation that
The Journal is under the con
trol of “the bosses,” is absolu
tely and unqualifiedly a lie.
This paper is under the control
of nobody but its editor, and
never hesitates to express its
own opinion freely and openly.
The Journal is a Democratic
newspaper because its editor is
a life-long Democrat who hon
estly and sincerely believes in
the great fundamental princip
les of Democracy. Some of the
greatest men America ever pro
duced were Democrats and the
history of the nation is replete
with the achievements of Dem
ocracy. It is a party who does
things, and is not a party made
up of sore-headed knockers so
devoid of energy as to want
the government to feed and
clothe them, as the Socialists
do.
i ne journal is a uemocratic
newspaper, owned and edited
by a Democrat, and gets its
support principally from peo
ple who are Democrats. True,
we have a number of patrons
who are Republicans,but so far
as we know, only three Social
ists subscribe and pay for this
paper. Being a Democratic
newspaper and not interested
in Socialism, but considering it
only a wild dream, or as the
late Senator Jeff Davis said,
“Darn foolishness gone to
seed,” why should we throw
our columns wide open for the
Socialists to knife either the
Democratic or the Republican
party?
If Mr. Detherow were pub
lishing a Socialist paper,do you
suppose he would allow Demo
crats the free and unlimited
use of his columns to knife the
Socialist party? Not much.
In some of the circulars got
ten out recently dealing with
this paper and some of the
Democratic nominees, he ha^
proven himself absolutely de
void of all the principles of
honor and fairness.
His attack upon S. A. Moore,
one of the Democratic nomi
nees for representative, is as
dirty and false as could have
been conceived by the dirtiest
imp in hades.

“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. 1 shall never be without
K. THEDFORD’S
BL/ck-DraugHT
in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizii
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.

chance to be elected, he has
destroyed it by the dirty, un
derhand tactics he has pursued
in the publication and distri
bution of his dirty circulars
over the county. The voters of
Independence county are too
intelligent to be prejudiced
and misled by Detherow’s dirty
efforts to besmirch the char
acter of his opponents and peo
ple who do not agree with him.
The people of Independence
county do not bqjieve in that
kind of politics and they will
give Dstherow and his gang all
that’s coming to them on the
7th of November.
Act No. 2 had rather protect
the lawbreakers than the coun
ty officers. It imposes a small
fine on the bootlegger and
blind tiger, and sends the coun
ty judge to the penitentiary
for exercising his judicial dis
cretion in refusing license.Vote
against Act No. 2.—Searcy
Citizen.
Ben Griffin, acting president
of the local Self Government
League, which is trying to put
saloons back into Arkansas,
threatens to sue some of the
newspapers for defamation of
character. Hold your nose
while the disinfectant is being
applied.—Monroe County Citi
zen.
The dirty efforts to be
smirch the character of some
of the Democratic nominees in
this county should cause every
citizen who believes in a square
deal to go to the polls on the
7th of November and register
his protest against such meth
ods.
It is said that the demand
for small change has forced the
government mints to speed up
on the coinage of nickels,
dimes and coppers. So there’s
some hope of getting what is
coming to us after all.
You may make some wise
guesses sometimes,but you can
not tell how some folks will
vote until after they have vot

We take this method of ex
pressing our heartfelt thanks
to those of our friends who so
faithfully stood by us during
the sickness and death of our
beloved wife and mother and
who, by their sympathy and
helpfulness, made the darken
ed pathway seem a little brigh
ter.
Words are inadequate to ex
press our gratitude to those
friends who were friends in
i deed and our prayer is that He
who said, “I was sick and ye
visited me,” reward them suf
ficiently.

Is Not All That Good
ADVERTISING
ACCOMPLISHES
II an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
ships h< must keep in touch with his friends. As Dr.
.Johnson puts it, we must keep our friendships in const
ant repair.”
It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes he tells them of special op
poriunitu s he has created through which they may
save mom v in needed purchases. These advertisements
of “speck:i sales” may usually be relied upon to stimu
lus business----to make quick turnovers of stocks which
have accumulated.
Hut the store’s advertising does more than to ac
ta mplish clearances, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cements store-friend
ships. The slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
understood. The man or the woman who may have de
cided that, for some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer th ir trading to some other store, be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
vertisements of the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the m*ans of holding waver
ing friendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant—and more important than the immediate sale.
