IS EDMONDSON AFRAID
OF ‘PUBLICITY?
Although he represents one of
the strongest prohibition districts
in Arkansas, Senator Edmondson
lined up with the liquor element
as soon as he arrived in Little
Rock to attend the present ses
sion of the legislature, and he
has steadfastly maintained his
standing with the liquor organi
zation.
As soon as it became known
whom the liquor people wanted
for president of the senate, Ed
mondson fell in line and stayed
with them to the last ditch, doing
everything in his power to help
them secure control of the Sen
ate.
Excepting his vote last Friday
on the final passage of the New
berry state-wide bill, it is The
Journal’s candid opinion that
Senator Edmondson has not cast
a single vote on any measure
affecting the liquor interests,
during the entire session, that
Joe Lyons himself would not
have cast, could he have occupied
Edmondson’s seat and voted for
him on roll-call.
Edmondson voted for the
state-wide bill, when it was
forced to a vote for final passage,
over the opposition of himself
and others, because it was plain
ly evident that it was going to
pass, regardless of his vote.
Was Senator Edmondson
AFRAID to vote against it?
When the state-wide bill was
first introduced in the senate,
more than a half dozen amend
ments of various kinds were of
ferred, in an effort by the liquor
people to block its passage, or
kill the bill. In every instance
the entire liquor element in thej
senate lined up solidly in support
of these amendments and filibus
tering tactics, in an effort to kill
the bill, and when the roll was
called on these proposed amend
ments, the senate records show
that Edmondson, along with
the rest of the liquor crowd, in
variably voted "aye.”
Yet Edmondson is from one of
the strongest prohibition dis
tricts in Arkansas, and is sup
posed to reflect the sentiment of
the people he represents.
Did Edmondson represent his
constituents, or did he represent
himself or Joe Lyons and the
whiskey gang?
The Journal is not at all sur
prised that Senator Edmondson
has introduced a resolution to
exclude newspaper reporters
from the floor of the senate.
THE MAN WHO TRIES
Many books have been written
on how to succeed and many peo
ple have spent a large amount of
time reading the various ways in
which well known men arrived
near the top round of the ladder
of success. If you are depending
on your efforts there is only one
way to be successful and that is
to work.
In life’s battle “it is not the
critic who counts; not the man
who points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where the doer
of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually striving
to do the deeds; who at the best
knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement and who, at
the worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly.’’
The man who does things is
worth ten of the fellows who
tell us how things ought to be
done.—Exchange.
The news of Congressman W.
A. Oldfield’s election to member
ship on the Ways and Means
Committee is received with much
gratification by his many friends
throughout the district. This is
the most important and power
ful of all the congressional com
mittees and his election to mem
bership on this committee is un
mistakable evidence that, in point
of ability, our congressman is
recognized in Washington as one
of the leaders of the lower house.
It has been suggested that the
“grown-ups” get together and
have an old-fashioned spelling
bee in Newark. The Journal
thinks the suggestion a good one.
Such an affair could be made a
very pleasant social occassion,
and by using the old “Blue Back
Speller” it would recall many
pleasant memories, besides as
sisting many of us to brighten
up a little, both socially and
mentally.

One of Newark’s greatest
needs is a few small factories of :
some kind. Now that we are
making good progress toward
securing a canning factory, let
every citizen use his every effort
to make it a success, and then
let’s go to work and secure other
small factories. There are plen
ty of small factories of various
kinds that could be made to pay
well here if the people of Newark
would get together and go after
them in the ritrht manner.
Senator Edmondson’s violent
dislike of publicity has grown
to such proportions that he
attempted to have the senate
deny the privileges of the floor
to newspaper reporters. Wonder
what sort of a stunt our astute
senator is going to pull off, that
he wants to shut out the report
ers?
The Journal would not advise
the people to circulate petitions
asking Senator Edmondson to re
sign. This is a free country and
every politician has the right to
blight his own political career
when he goes to the legislature.
According to a report just is
sued by the United States gov
ernment, New Hampshire has
highest death rate of any state
in the union, being 17.1 per 1000.
Washington state has the lowest
death rate, 8.5 per 1000.
A man is not of much benefit
to the world when he gets to the
point where he does not care
what happens to his neighbors or
friends so long as he is prosper
ous himself.
Hon. A. G. Gray voted for the
state-wide prohibition bill in the
legislature last Friday.
Everybody boost the canning
factory. _

Hundreds can point to the use
of calomel as the cause of physi
cal decay. Its strenuous effects
upon liver, kidneys and even the
heart are known to every prac
ticing physician.
Medical science has found a
vegetable compound that elimi
nates the poisons from the liver j
md accumulations from the bow
ils in a safer and saner way than !
ioes calomel, and leaves no ill
ifter-effects.
This remedy is in the form of

in success. It is for sale in 50c and

Washington, Feb. 6.—Represen- i

seeking to appropriate $20,000 for ,
the purpose of supplying seed $

A PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSIS Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal through
Neglect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt At-;
tention.
_
More than two-thirds of the annual
death rate, physicians claim, is directly ,
traceable to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
tion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstanding of the origin of the disease,
a prominent physician was recently in
terviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles.
“To what do you attribute the great
destructiveness of kidney disease?” was
asked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
the body before the victim becomes aware
of his true condition, and the rapidity
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce of
prevention’ check the progress of the
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trifling ailment
in the stomach or bowels; therefore they
do nothing to arrest the course of tin
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?”
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
lowed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in urine.”
ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
“In what way is the heart affected from
kidney trouble?” i
“In all cases tho heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a sarious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially after
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease.”
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
the liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Hitters is a remedy that
answers these requirements completely.
It is not only a system tonic and regu
lator, but its healing and restorative in
fluence will build up the weakened kid
neys and urge them to a better perform
ance of their duties. It gives strength
and tone to the liver, stomach and heart
and promotes harmony of action through
out the body.
M. tv. Burr, village black smith and respecte*
citizen o( Starks, l.a.t says: "I was troubled wit
kidney and liver disorder for IS years. I was i
continual misery until I began taking Prickl
Ash Hitters which has entire!}- cured me, and
am now a strong, healthy anxl hearty man.
