O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
Newport is a progressive city.
Why don’t she enlarge her jail?
Say, Mr. Farmer, has your boy
joined the Boys Corn Club? If
not, why not?
In the organization of the legis
lature, the Independence delega
tion got—the axe.
Here’s hoping the present legis
lature will be the most useful one
the state has had in many years.
Robinson seems to have decided
that Arkansas don’t need a govern
or as bad a3 he once thought she
did. _
It is now claimed that J.P. Mor
gan is a descendant of Sir Francis
Drake. At any rate, J. P. is not a
lame duck.
There is a man who never does
anything that is not right. His
wife can tell just where he is, morn
ing, noon and night—he’s uead.
Since Robinson was so signally
mistaken about Arkansas needing
a governor, it may beb arely possi
ble that he is also mistaken about
her needing a senator.
If all the money in the United
States was equally distributed we
would have $34.72. At least that
is what the secretary of the treas
ury says. We wonder who’s got
that $34.29?_
See that the schoolhouse is used
in organizing and in socializing
the neighborhood. This is as
much a part of education as teach
the boys and girls in the commu
nity.—Farm and Ranch.
The last census show’s an in
crease of $218,673,302 in the value
of farm property in Arkansas in
ten years. This an increase of 120
per cent, or more than a doubling
of values. Arkansas is doing fair
ly well, thank you.
Every farmer should grow two
or more money crops instead of
one. One sometimes fails and is
often short. Where t wo or more
is grown there is far less likeli
hood of failure, but more assur
ance of one good crop.
The national house of represent
atives, sitting as a committe of the
whole, adopted an amendment to i
the postoffice bill to annul the or
der placing fourth class postmast
ers under the civil service. Of
course the amendment may not
pass both houses, but such newrs
items as this have a wonderful ef
fect in whetting the appetite of
certain hungry Democrats.
Joe T. Robinson, of Arkansas,
is congressman, governor-elect and
candidate for the United States
j senate. To give him the balance
of the hog, can’t Wilson place him
in the cabinet?—Memphis News
Scimitar.
i ♦ -
Every farmer should spend
some money to get the best local
paper, the best farm paper, the
best political and church papers,
the best magazines, even if they
do cost more—the clean, whole
some, wide-awake, ably-edited
papers that stand for progress, for
improvement, and for high ideals.
—Progressive Farmer.
.
The United States Department of
Agriculture estimates that twenty
million dollar loss is caused by the
boll weevil annually, and that this
loss is growing yearly, and says
that the spread of the ftoll weevil
is due largely to the destruction I
of birds that feed on insects. The!
farmer who allows promiscous
hunting on his farm is doing him
self an injustice.
If a man goes before the people
as a candidate for office, and ad
vocates certain reforms and
pledges himself, if elected, to car
ry out those reforms, and the peo
ple show their confidence in him
by electing him, then, if he is a
real man with any sense of honor,
will he lightly cast aside those
promises, before he makes any
effort to carry them out, and ask
to be given a better job?
The pistol-toter is a nuisance
anywhere, but New York has a
new anti-pistol law that is absurd.
Under the new law the courts
have held that a householder must
have a license to keep a weapon
in his home. So, under this law,
if a man shoots a burglar or other
intruder, without a license to have
a gun in his home, he becomes a
law-breaker. This seems to be
giving the burglar a little the ad
vantage. _
Robinson was still a member of
congress up until last Tuesday,
having some three weeks ago ten
dered his resignaton to take ef
fect January 14, the day he was
sworn in as governor. He has
drawn more than $60,000 salary
as congressman and only resigned
that office barely in time to be
sworn in as governor. He now
wants to serve as governor a few
weeks, and then go to the United
States senate. He will probably
be willing to resign as governor on
the 3rd of March, in order to ar
rive in Washington to be sworn in
as senator on the 4th. The peo
ple will then be called upon to
, elect a governor, and to foot the
I bills neccessary for the holding of
a special election brought about
by the perfidy of a man who has
proven that his highest conception
of statesmanship is to transfer the
peoples’ money from the public
treasury into his own pocket.

ARKANSAS' NEW GOVERNOR
SCOTT INDORSES
ROADS CONVENTION
County Judge Urges all Road
Oversers to Attend State
Good Roads Meeting
Feeling and realizing the im
portance of a progressive move
ment toward the construction and
maintenance of good and safe pub
lic highways throughout our coun
ty, the benefit of which can not be
overestimated, and citing the
roads of Independence county
that have been made turn-pikes
as amexample of what may be ac
complished by a united effort,
concerted action and system, and
believing that action should be
taken in the direction that will
do the most good for the most
people, especially the farmer, the
the lumberman, the merchant and
the traveling public, it is sincerely
hoped by the county judge of In
dependence county, that every
road overseer, who can possibly
spare the time, will attend the
meeting of the State Good Roads
Convention to be held at Little
Rock January 23 and 21.
Our county needs better roads,
and by attending this meeting you
may be able to give Independence
county the benefit of the infor
mation gathered at the Conven
tion.
The railroads have agreed to
give reduced rates for the occasion
and no doubt every one will be
shown a royal time while in the
city. Every road overseer is a
delegate, the Good Roads Associa
tion haying made such ruling.
I hope to see Independence coun
ty well represented.
Yours truly,
J. W. Scott
County Road Commissioner.
CITY JAIL OVERFLOWS
The number of cases of drun'
enness since the first of the year
in this city is nothing more than
appalling and the mayor’s court
is a busy one every morning.
The city jail was filled up Thurs
day and the county bastile used to
confine this class of cases.
Sheriff McCuistion left Friday
afternoon with eight convicts for
Ingleside to be delivered to the
; contractor. ex-Senator John II.
i Keel. All were men convicted of
i being disorderly and did not have
the money with which to pay
small fines assessed against them.
