FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 15)05.
Four members of the Colorado
legislature were expelled for ac
cepting a bribe. It seems that the
Colorado legislature does not be
lieve in bribery.
The city election takes place.the
4th of April. It’s time for tin*
people to begin to think about
who they are going to elect to
serve them for the coming year.
Senator James 1*. Clarke lias
announced that he will stump
Eastern Arkansas during the
coming campaign against the re
election of Senator James II. Ber
ry. Poor old Senator Berry!
It’s a pity he can't quit without
having to be choked off.
if the members of the legisla
ture were on a fixed salary for the
term, would they extend the ses
aion in the reckless niauuer in
which they now do? Not much.
If they received a salary of say
$500 or $000 for the term, the ses
sions of the legislature would nev
er last more than thirty days.
One dozen eggs a day for one
year at ten cents per dozen is
equal to a bale of seven-cent cot
ton, and a dozen eggs a day can
be raised by any farmer at prac
tically no expense. But the price
pf eggs will average fifteen cents
n dozen the year round, and this
means $54.25 a year. The farmer
who fails to raise chickens is not
looking after his own interests.
The Calico liock Progress truth"
fully remarks that it’s a hard job
to try to boost a town when some
of the ablest business men refuse
to help in the work. The selfish,
grasping man who cares nothing
for the town he lives in, except to
get what money he can out of the
trade that comes to it, is more of n
detriment than anything else to
the town in which he resides.
The Arkansas legislature ad
journed Thursday afternoon until
Monday, and spent Friday and
Saturday at Fayetteville for the
alleged purpose of inspecting the
State University. It seems that
this is rather an expensive manner
for the legislature to kill time. A
joint committee from the house
and senate, assisted by Governor
Davis, had just inspected the Uni
versity, having spent an entire
! week there. Quite a lot of busi
ness could have been disposed ot
in the two working days spent on
this trip, but the legislature has
just extended the session fifty-six
days, you know, and of course
they must put in the time in some
manner. And, besides, there's
nothing like having a “broad
time," especially when the people
“pay the freight.’’

A QUESTION Of HONESTY
Too many business men consider anything honest in busi
ness which is not against the law, and will do a great many rep
rehensible things if they think they will not be found out. I he;
w ill make shoes and sell shoes in which every skimping trick ha
been resorted to=*they actually take the leather from under th
toe caps and put in a piece of rough canvas to keep you from dis
covering that the leather has been abstracted.
FULL VAMPS MEANS HONESTY IN SHOE MAKING.
Now, that you know the difference, are you still willing
to buy dishonest shoes?
