FRI DAY,
AUGUST 14, 1908
The steam roller that pan-caked the
various county Democratic committees
in Little Rock recently must he an
alcohol burner.
The pessimist is one riding1 with his
face toward the crupper on the horse.
No wonder the world seems going
backwards to him.
Have you heard the news? General
Prosperity is returning, after a pro
longed absence, and it is believed that
the old gentleman will settle perma
nently in Newark.
The crop prospects in Independence
county were never better than at the
present time. The hay crop has
broken all records, likewise the fruit
crop*; a good corn crop is assured, and
from the present outlook the cotton
crop will !>e the largest ever produced
in the county.
X. O. P. spells “sop,” but what kind
of sop? And who got it? Oh, yes,
political sop. Yes, and backwards
X. O. I\ spells “pox" political small
pox. And after the 14th of September
the anti-saloon map of Arkansas is
liable to show more than seventeen
dark spots, which will mean very
small-p.o.x. See?
No man is any better than the man
and measure for which he votes, Vi
. O.tn kpoyy-. • u ■ iuuu ' oj 1ioJuohest and
,'0u w for him, you are dishonest;
if you know him to be a scoundrel,
you are a scoundrel to foist upon the
people a scoundrel for an official. It
will forever remain that a sky-lark's
ideal is a skv-lark, and a pole-cat's
ideal is a skunk.
We often hear men say in excuse for
their ignorance that they “never had
a chance.” Now the majority of men
who have become noted, made the
chance for themselves. Where there's
a will there’s a way. you know, and
the boy who determines to be some
thing and does not lose heart in the
struggle, generally accomplishes his
end. One may have a great many wise
and ambitious thoughts hut if not fol
lowed up with perseverance and in
dustry, he will never amount to much.
A thing must be wholly done and well
done, if one would have fame and
prosperity.
The announcement comes from what
seems to he an authoritative source
that Congressman Brundidge of Sear
cy will l>e a candidate to succeed Sen
ator Davis. Mr. Brundidge is a good
clean man and has made an honest
and trustworthy servant of the people,
in the lower house of congress. His
election to succeed Davis would add
much strength and influence to Ar
kansas’ representation in the national
law-making body.
There are seven candidates for
President in the field, all representing
different political ideas, and we pub
lish below a list of the candidates and
the parties 'hev represent: Democratic,
W. J. Bryan: Rebulican, \V. IT. Taft:
Peoples Party, Thos. E. Watson;
Socialist, E. V. Debs; Prohibition, E.
W. Chafin', Socialist-Labor, M. R.
Preston: Independent, T. L. Hisgen.
There is enough variety here to suit
all clases, and no man can excuse him
self for not voting on the ground that
none of the candidates suited him.
The report comes from Little Rock
that the liquor men of the state claim
they will defeat any effort to secure
the adoption by the next legislature of
an amendment to submit the state-wide
prohition proposition to the people.
They are relying on the senate to de
feat the measure. The senate has be
come known as a notorious aggrega
tion of boodlers, but the Democratic
party of Arkansas stands pledged by
its state platform to submit the pro
hibition question to the people for
their ratification or rejection. Can the
senate afford to jeopardize the Demo
cratic party, and further disgrace and
dishonor its own reputation, merely
for the sake of a few paltry dollars?
We think not.
From the present outlook, business
will be better in Newark this fall than
it has been in several years. We hope
the home merchants will get ready to
boom business and offer the people of
the surrounding country liberal in
ducements to make Newark their
trading point. Our merchants can
sell goods as cheap as anybody, and
can pay as good prices for cotton, corn
and other farm poducts, as the mer
chants of ajiy other town can pay. If
the business men of the town would
wake up to the importance of a thor
ough and systematic advertising cam
paign, and goto work with that end in
view, they could do fifty per cent more
business this fall than was ever done
before in the history of the town.
It is stated on good authority that
a proposed bank guarantee law will be
| one of the first measures introduced
I when the approaching session of the
! Arkansas legislature convenes at
! Little Rock in January. The bill will
be drafted after the banking law now
J in Oklahoma, the object of which is to
protect depositors throughout the state
| against the failure (if banking institu
tions. It is proposed that all banks
1 of creditable standing shall give a
certain percentage of their earnings
toward a fund which shall be kept by
the state. W hen a bank fails the state
appoints a receiver to close up its
business, and every depositor is paid
in full, regardless of the bank’s con

dition, the funds for this purpose hav
ing1 accumulated from the small special
tax the hanks are required to pay. It
i is a good thing and The Journal hopes
i to see the Arkansas legislature pass
such a law. __
Recent doings in the State Capital
indicate a rotten spot in Arkansas’
| election laws, and argue very potently
! that the election commissioners of each j
county ought to lie elected hv the peo
ple of the various parties. The tern- j
peranee, and other decent elements are
looking for a’hig steal in severaljconn
ties for the Memphis and Little Rock
liquor men. To a man up a tree it
seems already pre-arranged. Any man j
one degree above putty-headed idiocy
knowing the kleptomaniacal instinct, j
and other general cussedness of some |
rascals recently appointed, expects no
honest count at their hands unless
the) are forced. Also it would he wise
and well to remember those men who
bartered away the people’s rights, and
if they stick their heads up for office
(one is already announced as an
aspirant for congress) hit them good
and hard. The greatest drawback to
reform is tl^at good jieople have de
fective memories.
I’llACTICAL KDUCATION
The demand has long- and noisily
confronted us that the education in
our schools shall be “practical.’' I hue
lies the difficulty. Some sav. “Teach
a child what he shall do in after life.”
On the face of it, this seems a reason
able proposition. Close examination
proves it to he nonsense —not worthy
of respectful consideration. Who has
the prescience to tell what a child is
to do in after life—especially an
American child?
it will not lie seriously questioned
that the man launched on the world of
affairs, should, so far as he can, de
vote his talents to.that which he can
do better than the average of his fel
low men. It is undoubtfully the duty
of the farmer, as it certainly is his aim,
to bring to market the largest amount
of grain and stock in the best condi
ditionhis farm can be made to produce, j
But he will be more of a man, and
hence a better citizen, if he under
stands something of the science of gov
ernment (commonly called polities;) if j
he knows historx in its true sense and
value, and lias studied philosophy.
In fact there are a great many things
in tiie line of education and self-culture
which the average man ought to know
that would help him to be a hotter man, I
a better husband, a better father, a
bettercitizen, and which would give him
a higher and more exalted view of life,
its great problems and responsibilities,
and the duties he owes himself, his
country and his fellow-man, as a free
moral agent and a sovereign of a great
and free government.
Taking more interest in his work be
cause of his knowledge and apprecia
tion of these tilings, lie will he just so
much the more of a man, no matter
what his calling or profession may lie.
The province of education is to make
the man. The exigencies of his lot
will determine what profession he shall
follow.
We must educate. It is the greatest
need of the country.
