Influence of the Newspapers.
The newspaper is today the most potent
element in civilization. Its audience is practi
cally unlimited. It reaches every class of peo
ple. It penetrates to every hut and hovel on
the fartherst confines of human society. The
schools have an influence and gather the chil
dren of high and low. But after shchools are
outgrown, teachers forgotten, and books moul
dy and dusty, the newspaper is still a constant
companion.
No public speaker, be he preacher or po
litical orator, can draw an audience of one-ten
th that which greets the average newspaper of
today, and thus the tone of the press becomes a
matter of vital importance to the welfare of the
community. The influence is widespread and
lasting.
The days of the mossback are numbered.
We are entering upon a new era—a new world
with a different atmosphere, and from now on
things will move differently. The man who
fails to read the signs of the times correctly and
puts his house in order to meet new conditions
will be as so much rubbish cast by the way
side to be trampled under foot by the advanc
ing hosts of modern ideas and thought. The
young, virile blood of the country is getting in
the saddle and soon it will have the reins of
the country in its grasp, and then the world
will move as it decrees. The young man with
modern ideas and a progressive spirit is the dy
namic force that will soon upset the old order
of things and start the world to moving in a
different direction.—Stephens News.

If any of our readers think it is an easy
job to get up a newspaper every week they
should try it. Just for a sample of what it is
like, sit down some leisure moment and write a
few items describing such local events as you
can call to mind. Then reflect that a sheet of
notepaper will contain about enough material
for about two inches, or one-tenth of a column.
Now till from ten to twenty columns every
week, hustle for subscribers, look after the
funds, see to the advertising, make up the
forms, run the press, take a turn at type setting
kick the job press a few thousand times, and
you have an idea of what a country printer
does for pastime.

In all history' of Arkansas Legislatures
there has never been such a flood of bills for
the organization of the road improvement dis
tricts. There is scarcely a county in the state
that has not one or more of its own, or is tied
to that of some other county. The projects in
the aggregate represent a contemplated cost of
millions of dollars, and if all of them are real
ized, the state will be net-worked with improv
ed highways that will give Arkansas front
rank among good roads builders. The legisla
ture has provided the wroking plans, now let
the people get busy and put them into execu
tion.

During the course of a speech at a Wash
ington Day banquet in Paris last Saturday,
General Pershing paid the following splendid
tribute to the American army:
“Whether keeping lonely vigil in the trench
es, whether atacking machine gun nests, or per
forming the drudgery of the rear or supplying
the front line, each man has done his duty', anc
he has felt that he had behind him the supporl
of the whole country. By his courage, indomi
table will, his splendid organization and his
tenactity, the American soldier has turned im
pending defeat into overwhelming victory."
“President Wilson is receiving more unan
imous support from British newspapers and
public men than he gets in this country,” says
the New York Commercial. The British atti
tude is, as long as the president leads in the
right direction it doesn’t matter if he is a dem
ocrat.—Arkansas Gazette.
And the attitude of some well known j
members of the U. S. Senate seems to be that
no matter in what direction Wilson leads, he is
wrong, because he is a Democrat.

The roads in Independence county are in
worse condition than they have been for sever
al years and the only successful way to improve
them is by taxing ourselves and using the mon
ey on the roads in a business like manner. Will
we do it?
-y
The Germans complain that the latest ar
mistice terms will throw thousands of their of
ficers out of jobs. They might send them over
into Belgium and let them repair some of the
damage they did during the war.
-y
Poor old starving' Germany! According
to the new constitution now being framed, she
will only be able to pay her president the beg
garly salary of $250,000 a year.
-y
It all the roads are built in the next two
years that have been provided for by laws en
acted by the present legislature, Arkansas will
come to the front in road building.
-y
We still have men in the United States
Senate who think the interests of their politi
cal party are paramount to the interests of the
country.
-y
The fact that a man has made a failure of
running his own business don’t keep him from
knowing how to run the government.

Luke McLuke says that a girl never real
izes that she loves a man until she discovers
that some other girl is after him.

Its an honest man who gives the govern
ment the benefit of every doubt in figuring his
income tax returns.

T he greatest obstacle in the way of per
manent world-peace is human nature.
If I Should Die Tonight
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
* I
-—..
If I should die tonight
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair
And, laying snow-white flowers against my hair
Would smooth it down with tearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress—
Poor hands, so empty and so cold tonight!
If I should die to-night
My friends would call to mind with loving
thought,
Some kindly deed my icy hands had wrought,
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said;
Errands on which the willing feet had sped :
J he memory of my selfishness and pride,
My hasty words, would all be put aside;
And so I should be loved tonight.
If I should die tonight
Even hearts estranged woul turn once more to
me
Recalling other days remorsefully,
1 he eyes that chill me with averted glance
\\ ould look upon me as of yore, perchance,
And soiten, in the old, familiar way;
for who could war with dumb, unconscious
clay?
So I might rest, forgiven of all, tonight.
Oh, friends, I pray to-night,
■ Keep not your kisses from my dead, cold brow;
- Thf wa>' is lonely, let me feel them now.
1 1 hink gently of me; I am travel worn;
: taltreing feet are pierced with many a
thorn;
i Forgive, oh, hearts estranged, forgive, I plead'
. When dreamless rest is mine, I shall not need
The tenderness for which I long to-night.
