The Iron Mountain is spending
more than a million dollars in im
■provements in Arkansas, which
shows that the Goulds have con
fidence in the future of Arkansas.
The Jackson County Herald
stays the friends of Judge M. M.
Stuckey are urging him to enter
the race for congress. Judge
Stuckey is an afyle man and would
run a good race if he should de
cide to enter the contest.
If the numerous murders, shoot
injjf and cutting affrays that have
recently occured in Jackson coun
ty, as a direct result of too much
toooze, do not cause the people of
that county to vote out the saloon
at the next election, we will be
l>adly fooled.
Unpunished crime in acommun
ity keeps away from it a large
part of the best immigration in
labor and capital. Men who do
things are disposed to shun com
munities where the lawless are al
lowed to DO men.—Memphis
News-Scimitar.
And now conies the Great Coun
cil of the 1. O. K. M. and adopts
an amendment excluding from
membership in the order all sa
loon keepers and bartenders. The
“Sovereign Camp of the W. O. W.
recently did the same thing and also
provided for the expulsion of any
liquor man who may have hereto
fore gained admission into the
order. It’s a dull day when the
liquor people don’t get it in the
neck from somewhere along the
line. _
Former State Superintendent J.
H. Hinemon has announced that
he will be a candidate for gover
nor. This makes three candidates,
Kirby and Donaghe.y having al
ready announced. It is reported
that there will perhaps be three
other candidates announce later.
At least five murders and at
tempts at murder have been com
mitted in .Jackson county during
the past four or five months, as a
direct result of too much booze.
.Jackson is the only county in this
part of the state which has open
saloons, yet in spite of the argu
ment of some that saloons make
business, she is gaining nothing in
a business way over her neighbor
ing counties and is fast making an
unenviable reputation as a breed
ing place for cime and lawlessness.
The so called religious journal
that devotes the greater part of
its space to a vindication of some
i other creed or denomination has
about as much religion as Mul
idoon's goat that ate the family
i Bible. The guilty ones know
who is hit.—Arkansas Democrat.
And the same might be said of the
individual who is always ready to
engage in an argument to show
j that his church is “the” church.
! We have seen men assume the
I mien of a man of great wisdom
and argue knowingly upon the
j forms of baptism when they
couldn’t spell the names of the
days of the week correctly. The
“wisdom” of such men gives us a
pain in the stomach.
The report comes from Little
Rock that Senator James H. Berry
is being deluged with letters from
all sections of the State asking him
to enter the race for Governor. It
is said that these letters come from
j members of all factions of the
! Democracy of Arkansas and that
! the former Senator has about made
up his mind to enter the contest.
With four or five candidates repre
senting the various factions it is
conceded by all that the Senator's
chances1 for the nomination would
be excellent, as the conservative
element of the party almost to a
man would rally to his support.
It is practically certain that it
Senator Berry enters the race for
Governor, Congressman S. Brun
didge of Searcy will announce his
candidacy for the United States
Senate to succeed James P. Clarke.
FROM ARKANSAS
The diamonds recently found in
Pike county, Arkansas, have been
examined by the foremost dia
mond experts in the Unitrd States
and are pronounced to be equal to
those found in the famous Kim
berly, South African, district.
Arkansas has been awarded first
prize for the finest cotton in the
world; she produces the finest and
most valuable pearls in the world;
she never fails to take the first
prize for the finest fruit; the hay
from her broad alfalfa fields has
never been excelled; her marble
is attracting attention throughout
the entire country; she produces
as fine rice as ever tickled the
palate of man; her mineral de
posits are among the richest of
any state in the union; her coal
^ fields will rival those of any state
in the South; her vast timber re
sources place her right up the
front rank among the greatest
lumber producing states in the
union; and to cap the climax she
startles the world by producing
some of the finest diamonds ever
brought from the bosom of Mother
Earth in any part of the world.
Yes, we're from Arkansas; now
laugh, darn ye.
THE UNION AND POLITICS
The .Joural has heard it inti
mated that certain prospective
candidates will make a bold effort
to line up the Farmers’ Union in
their behalf in the approaching
campaign. We do not belive,
however, that they will ever sue
ceed in doing so, for, if we know
anything about the fundamental
principles of the Farmers Union,
it is not the mission of the Union
to aid any political party, clique
or politician to ride into oliice,
either state, county or township. I
It is perfectly legitimate for the
Union to take up the fight forcer
tain principles or legislation that
will be beneficial to the fanners as
a whole, or to tight any proposed
measures that may conflict with
their rights and interests. But in
doing this we should be very care
ful to keep aloof from the influ
ences of indivdual politics or
politicians.
Any party or politician who
attempts to swing the Farmers'
Union, seperately or collectively,
into political turmoil and discord
for the sake of his own selfish
aggrandizement, even should he
himself be a member of the Union,
should be severely rebuked.
The Journal is confident that
the various local unions and the
county organization will positively
take no part in politics, either
county or state, so far as endors
ing any man is concerned, and
woe be unto the man who attempts
to run the Union into any such
blind folly. The man or men who
attempt it are treading upon dan
gerous ground, and deserve noth
ing better than to be kicked over
into political oblivion.
THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
The annual meeting of the In
dependence Baptist Association
was held at Cave City Friday to
Sunday and was largely attended.
Rev. J. P. Lovelace of Cushman
was re-elected moderator and Jno.
Q. Wolf of Batesville clerk. Five
new churches were added to the
association during the past year,
making a total of twenty-four,
after Pleasant Plains had with
drawn in order to connect itself
with the \\ hite County Associa
tion. The association will meet
next year at Newark on Friday
before the second Sunday in Sep
tember.

A MOST TOUCHING APPEAL
falls short of its desired effect if ad
dressed to a small crowd of interested
listeners. Mr. Business Man, are
vou wasting your ammunition on the
small crowd that would trade with
\ou anyway, or do you want to reach
those who are not particularly inter
ested in vour business? If you do,
make your appeal for trade to the
largest and most intelligent
audience in your commun
ity, the readers of this
paper. They have count
less wants. Your ads will 1
be read by them, and they
will become your custom
ers. Trv it and see.
