DO YOU KSOW HIM?
Is there a man in Newark with
enough intelligence to keep out of
the insane asylum who would rath
er live in an age of heathenism
than in this enlightened age of the
Twentieth century?
Is there a man who would go
back to the age of savagery, when
might made right, when the man,
who, through the abject fear of
his fellows, could command the
greatest number of followers and
with brute force rule his fellows
with despotic and tyranical hand?
Is there a man who would de
stroy all the railroads, the great
arteries of commerce of the coun
try; wipe out the banks, tear down
all the churches and school houses,
destroy all the books, put the
newspapers out of business and
stop every printing press in the
land (
Is there a man who would not
have a physician in the country
to minister to the suffering and
ease the agonizing cry of pain
of the afflicted and put them on
the road to health and happiness?
Is there a man who would put a
ban on human achievment, give
knowledge a black eye and encour
age ignorance, vice and crime?
Is there a man who would rath
er his child""*' would grow up in
the abject i ,norance of savagery,
totally igncrant of all the higher
and nobler things of life, go naked,
live among wild animals and dwell
in crude dug-outs along the hill
side, than to live among enlight
ened people in a civilized country
with the comforts and conven
iences of modern times?
Is there a man in Newark who
would paralyze the arm of Justice,
cut off the hand of Mercy, abolish
the American government and
place America and her people in
the same condition this country
and its inhabitants were in when
discovered by Columbus four hun
dred years ago?
Do you suppose there is such a
monster in human form living
right here in Newark, where we
boast of good schools, good
churches and good society? Is
there a man so devoid of good
sense; so utterly ungrateful for
Headache
For Years
"I keep Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pills on hand all the time, and
would not think of taking a
journey without them, no mat
ter how short a distance I am
going. I have a sister that has
had terrible headaches for years,
and I coaxed her to try them
and they helped her so much,
she now keeps them by her all
the time. From my own exper
ience I cannot praise them
enough.”
MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL,
63 High st., Penacook, W H.
Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try I)r. Miles' Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels: just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.

the good things of this enlightened
age which it has required centuries
of vigilance to attain, and which
he is enjoying without effort, that
he would wipe it all out and re
turn to savagery?
With a crimson blush of shame
The Journal is compelled to admit
to the world that there is just such
a man living in Newark, or least
in this school district. Who he is
we do not know, and we are glad
that we do not. Hut he is here
nevertheless, and made his pres
ence known by his vote in the
school election last Saturday by
casting his vote against the school
tax.
You may say this picture is ov
erdrawn; but it is not. Suppose
every man in America should do
as this man did—vote to abolish
the schools—for that it means
wipe out intelligence, paralyze the
creative power of the mind and
thus make savages of the people.
If every man should do as this
man did, and the same policy was
pursued year after year, how long
would it be until this country
would become a veritable hell?
How long would it be until the
weak would be reduced to condi
tions of abject slavery, and what
would be the conditions at the end
of another century?
The Journal is glad there is on
ly one such man in the district,
and it is a shame and a disgrace to
the community that there is even
one.
That man, if he voted his true
sentiments, is in the same class
with the anarchists—an ungrateful
and degenerate being who does
not deserve the blessings of the
age which have been purchased
with centuries of honest endeavor
upon the part of the noble men
and women who preceeded us upon
the stage of action, who budded
wisely and well, and the fruits of
whose labors we are now enjoying.
Benedict Arnold is no more de
serving of being branded as a
traitor to his country than is the
man who votes to destroy the in
stitutions of learning in which we
train the coming men and women
of our country for the duties of
useful and peaceful citizenship.
In the death of Bishop Chas. B.
Galloway, which occurred a few
days ago at his home in Jackson, |
Miss., the South lost one of its:
brainiest and brightest men. lie
was a favorite in Arkansas, not
only among his own denomination,
but with other churches. He
made his first official visit to our
state in 1886, and seeing the un
developed condition of the church
schools, he took hold of chaotic
condition of affairs with an enthu
siasm that set thousands of hearts
on fire for the establishment of
these institutions, and a new day
dawned upon Arkansas as to
Christian education. Other
churches caught the inspiration
and a number of educational in
stitutions were established. Gal
loway College, at Searcy, was
named in honor of the great work
done by this noble man. The en
fluence of such men upon the des
tiny of a nation is beyond human
comprehension.
Friends of Judge McCaleb are
boosting him for governor, and < n
deavoring to get him enter ti c
race against Governor Donaglxy
for a second term. Judge McCa
leb is one of the cleanest and be^
men ever before the public in At’
kansas, and he has no more ardent
admirer than The Journal; we only
wish that Arkansas hud more men
of his type in public life; and we
; hope some day to see him occupy
the governor's office, but we hope
he will notallow his well-meaning,
but misguided friends to pull him
into the race against Donaghey
for a second term. It would mean
defeat and would possibly raise
obstacles that could not be over
come when, at a more opportune
time, he could otherwise be elected.
^ome of the liquor people claim
that national prohibition would be
a calamity to the fanner because
it would cripple the market for
certain farm products. A state

Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diseases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take Nyal’s Hot
Springs Blood Remedy—
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.

ture for last year shows that while
the fanner received 190.36 for
farm products that were used for
other purposes, he received the
munificent sum of sixty-four cents
for farm products used in the
manufacture of liquor. And we
can’t help but wonder how many
days he lost from work and how
much money he paid out in fines
for being drunk and disorderly as
a result of the money he spent
with the saloon man in order to
create the demand for that sixty
four cents worth of grain. Take
your slate and pencil some rainy
day and go out to the barn and see
if you can figure out just how the
farmer came out.
If some people put in as much
time attending to their own affair
as they do to meddling with other
peoples’ business, there would be
lots more happiness in the world.
