Harvey Burgess and \V. F. Due
have purchased the Des Arc (iui
don, and took charge last week.
Mr. Burgess was formerly editor
«of the Cave City Progress. Mr.
Due is well known in Newark,
having held a position with The
Journal until a short time ago.
They are deserving young men,
and The Journal wishes them suc
cess. ____________
It is a positive fact that public
business these days is conducted
in a manner that would make a
man in private business raise his
hands in horror. The impulse
and feeder to this wasteful way,
with its temptations and opportun
Hies to go wrong, is the broad
idea inculcated in the poplar mind
that public business is a chance
for those that secure the prosecu
tion of it to make money over and
above what they should expect to
make in similar private business;
for employes to get higher pay
and do less work, and so on
through the whole evil develop
ment. And this springs from the
misconception that public business
is exclusively a thing of party con
trol and responsibility, and to be
so ordered to supply prizes for
political participation.
THE GUARD’S OUTBREAK.
The Batesville Guard no doubt
feels better now, since giving The
Journal a “piece of its mind" last
week. The old sister “got her
back up" because we said, and
very truthfully, too, that she ex
tended but few courtesies to The
Journal, and gives us to under
stand with a show of indignation
that she cares not a tinkers dam
for our opinions, or good will; and
that if we think The Journal is
going to la' served with her daily
edition gratuitously we are an
idiot—or something worse.
Gratuitously! Now wouldn't
that give y o u t h e d r y
jjrinsGratuitously! Whoever
beard of the Guard doing any
thing gratuitously Why a man
can't even die and yet his obitua
ry published in the Guard gratuit
ously. The old sister was never
known to do anything gratuitous
ly—except boost some politician
whom she thought might reward
some of her employees with an ap
pointment of some kind. If a hu
man soul were hanging in the bal
ance just ready to be tilted over
into eternal perdition, and a few
lines in the Guard would turn the
scale, we doubt very much if they
would be given gratuitously.
Did The Journal expect to be
served with the Guard gratuitous
ly? Well, hardly! The editor of
The Journal may be at times
troubled with a disordered stom
ach, as the Guard charges, but we
are yet able to distinguish be
tween a miser and a philanthro
pist—and the trouble has not be
come so chronic as to affect our
conscience to such an extent that
we can i>ose as a pillar of the
church on Sunday and be a verita
ble Shylock the remainder of the
week.
But if the Guard is so ashamed
of its little daily that it absolutely
refuses to premit a copy to get
outside the borders of Batesville,
well and good; we shall not at
tempt to humiliate it further.

THE TRACK ENTIRELY

for not wanting to move away
from your community. And no
saloons, though some say there
are blind tigers with both eyes
open shining like saucers. I ask
you, what would Newark be if
you did not have the influence of
Christian people' 1 surmise Mr.
Hindman would say, "1 am going
to move.'1 In regard to the old
religious persecutions, I said plain
ly Mr. Hindman that that was not
the issue. It belongs to anofh
er question altogether, but you
are just swimming around most
any way; just talking you know.
| Now Mr. Hindman when you get
1 ready to come square to the issue
j I will promise you that we will
say some things about what is
good citizenship; and we will not
need saloonists to make such eith
er. Hut if you can be controled
by your wash woman, I cannot ex
pect you to accept my challenge.
1 I am sorry you you are sick: hope
j you will soon be yourself again.
Yours for good moral citizen

Mr
DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
The little sons of Mr. and Mrs.
R. T. Magness, Robert and How
ard, aged two and four years, res
pectively, drank a quantity of car
bolic acid Tuesday and for several
hours were in a precarious condi

Mr. Magness had been using
the acid for some purpose and set
the bottle down on a shelf on the
back porch where the children
found it.
They were found in an uncon
scious condition, badly burned i
about the face, hands and arms, !
and it was at first thought they
could not recover, but by the he
roic work of physicians their lives I
were saved. Their condition is
still serious, but at noon yester
day they were reported to be im
proving and it is now thought that
they may recover.

For their Fra'_rrmee love them.
When you bend your hea i
Tenderly above them;
To your own lips sweet.
Lift them up and hold them
While their lips r p*-at
What my heart has told them.
Grant then, of your grace,
With your beauty bless them;
Fold them to your face
Kiss them and caress them.
Brief their day, and so
Only Kindness yive them
Yours the joy to know
Love that shall outlive them.
