FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,1909
It seems that the Utah republi
cans are not yet hardened enough
to swallow Roosevelt and Cuban
reciprocity both at one gulp.
The republican party can never
hope to be better prepared to onaet
anti-trust legislation than it was
at the last session of Congress.
And still they claim to be opposed
to trusts! __________
The republicans of Alabama
have excluded negro delagates
from their state conventions. It. is
announced that this means that
henceforth the republican party in
that state will be a white man’s
party. _
From the pulpit a New York
preacher recently denounced wom
en who go to church bare-headed
and announced that in future hatlcs
women who go to church bare
women will be refused admission
to his church. This great (<) di
vine should go a little farther and
inform the ladies just what sort of
dress they should wear.
Senator Francis .M. Cockrell ot
Missouri, staunch follower of
William J. Bryan in two cam
paigns, an original supporter of
Teller for President on a stiver
platform in the 189(1 democratic
convention, has dropped the mon
ey issue and declares that it is
folly to follow the fortunes of
“free silver” any longer.
W. D. Matthews, one of the
leading insurgent republicans
states in an interview with a Little
Rock Gazette reporter that the
insurgents are well pleased with
the showing made at the recent
election. He says the tight is not
over and that they will go in to
win two years hence. They may
establish a state paper at Little
Bock.
The Kansas man who rose at a
funeral and announced that if no
person had anything to say about ;
the departed lie would like to
make a few remarks about the;
free coinage of silver must have j
• >een related in some way n> the
Rev. Dr. Washburn, who took oc
casion at the McKinley memorial
services at Oyster Hay to eulogize
President Roosevelt for his atti
tude in relation to the trusts.
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
pre full of fat.
Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for aH whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott’s
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Speaker Henderson announces
that lie will not make the race for
Congress against Horace Uoies,
asserting that he finds himself out
of harmony with his party in
Iowa on the subjects of trusts and
tariff. _
Memorial services were held by
nearly all the churches throughout
the country last Sunday in rever
ence to the memory of the late
President McKinley. However
much we may have disagreed with
McKinley, the politician, respect
for the memory of Mck inly, the man
cannot be withheld. He did much
to weld together two jaring sec
tions of the country, long estrang
ed by civil strife, and for that ser
vice alone the country should not
cease to hold him in grateful
memory. _
Senator Quay, who early com-j
milted himself to the nomination {
of Roosevelt for President in J894,
is credited with having converted
Senator Piatt, the ‘‘Easy New
York Boss,” to the advisability
of an indorsement at the coming
republican convention in the j
Empire state. Willi Platt tlie
sole question was one ot political
expend iency. Quay can see a
long way ahead in political man
euvers and before the Pennsyl
vania convention, he iiad it figu
red out that if Roosevelt got tin*
indorsement of Pennsylvania and i
New York, which have between
them 140 votes in a national eon-J
vention, his nomination would he
assured.
JEFF, THE IDOL.
The Newark Journal prints the pic
ture of (iov Davis in its last issue and
calls him the. “idol of Arkansas De
mocracy.’’—Pa ragou Id Soliphone.
Well, surely the esteemed Soli
phone does not object? If Jetf
isn’t, the idol of the Arkansas
democracy, we hardly know what
to term him. One by one lie pulls
down the old and exalted leaders
in whom the people of the state
have reposed the utmost confidence
for years, does things that he does
not attempt to defend before the
people, fires men from otlice who
are high in the councils of the par
ty, gets turned out of the church,
recklessly pardons criminals, rides
rough shod over whom lie pleases,
keeps the state in a condition of
perpetual political turned, but
rides triumphantly on and has, so
far in his political career, never
been defeated for an otlice.
All it takes to make Jeff solid
with the great majority of the com- j
mon people is for him to get out!
and mix and commingle with them
and make a few speeches. Davis
is the best mixer among common
people wo ever saw. We have had
occasion to make observation along
this line and know that when Davis
is among the common people he
makes himself one- of them, lie
meets Farmer Jones, in overalls,
slouch hat and bvogan shoes (or
barefooted as to that matter)
shakes hands and laughs and talks
with him just as if he was his next
door neighbor and closest friend.
It seems to be a part of human to
“liked to be noticed"’ and in grati
fying that desire when among Use
people lies a great portion of Gov
ernor Davis’ political strength.
It has been said that “Davis
docs things that would politically
damn any other man under the
.■>uu,“ but he straightens it ail out
by getting out among the people,
telling them that he is only hu
man, and urging them to stand by
him. And a great many people
will overlook a man's political
faults if he can gain their sooial
friendship and lead them to be
lieve that he does not consider
himself “above” them.
A DELIBERATE THEFT.
The news that Governor Davis
had appointed Matheny to the of
fice of representative to fill a va
cancy that had not occurred, was
no surprise to The Journal. We,
were expecting it.
It is a well known fact that Ma
thon.V had at his back the dirtiest
clique of rotten political tricksters
that ever manipulated an election
in Arkansas. They were thorough
ly organized, and there is no po
litical trickery under the sun that
is too low down for them to em
ploy.
There is a strong suspicion that
Matheny and Stroud were not hon
estly tied, but as those in charge
of the election machinery were all
Matheny\s friends, it was an easy
: matter to arrange that.
\\ e want it distinctly under
stood that The Journal is not tak
ing up the light in behalf of Stroud
or any other man in preference to
a democrat, but wc believe in hon
esty in all things, and that every
man, regardless of position or pol
itics, should have his just rights;
and it would he no worse to break
into John Stroud's house and steal
S300 in money from him than it is
i to steal the office of representative
from him.
Mnthenyand his organized band
of political pilferers, of course,
had things coming their way when
they succeeded in getting Stroud
and Matheny tied, and, as part of
this aggregation of political scape
graces were the trusted henchmen
and political serfs of Governor
Davis, they immediately hatched
out a plot to influence Davis to
appoint Matheny. And in this
connection it might be properly
said that the propensity of the
govenor to meddle in local politi
cal affairs has been shown to be
incorrigible. From the most im
port functions of the state to the
most trivial affair#, the directing
power has been the govenor.
Every superior must put in all
subordinate places Davis men, and
matters seem to be getting
worse.
There would have been absolute
ly no expense involved in allow
ing Stroud and Matheny to run
the race over at the November
election, but Matheny and his
clique could plainly see the hand
writing on the wall and knew that
the only way to save him was to
take matters into their own
hands.
If things drift along this way
for a few more years the self ap
pointed machine will probably
just meet and dish out the offices
entirely to their own notion.
But, the matter is now settled
and we dismiss the subject from
further consideration with the
hope that Matheny will use half
as much energy and preserverance
in looking after the interests of
the people as he has in stealing
the office. ,\nd if he does this he
will make the best representative
the county ever had.
No Doctor For Him.
Some people don't know imth
nf. When we met our political
Waterloo there was some of the
campaign fund left and we thought
we had one coinin’. We went
down to Memphis and on the
fourth day we bugged a lamp post
in Court Square out of pure soci
ability. We hud ’em good and
strong. We saw things movin’
about us, serpents and reptiles an
monkeys. (Our readers who have
engaged in a four days go-as-you
please contest know what it is.)
A Salvation Army lady peered at
u» from under her bonnet and
said ;4 Sir, you need a doctor.”
She really thought so. We bowed
politely and replied: “Madam you
are mistaken ; we don’t want no
doctor. What we want is a snake
charmer ” Hut we air all rilo
now, only our skin is splotched
and feverish, and if any one has
the price our name is Basco and
we still eat ’em alive,—Hardeman

KIMBALL pIAJIW
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 ^ 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. 'Ihe incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way lor
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.
