GOOD OLD DAYS
ARE STILL HERE
The Journal takes no stock in
the oft expressed theory that the
world is growing worse. If those
people who are always lamenting
the passing of the good old days,
who ask in hopeless tones for the
noble men, the consecrated women
of other times, would only open
their eyes to the real lives of the
men and women about them, they
would usually find the answer to
their pessimistic questions right at
hand.
We look back to the men of an
earlier generation and recognize
their honesty of purpose and
uprightness of soul because we
are able to look at their lives as a
whole, and to see their mistakes
and faults and sins for what they
truly were—mere blemishes upon
characters that were true and
sound.
Of course there are a great
many bad people in the world to
day, as there always were, and al
ways will be. But too often as we
look at our neighbor we allow the
little defects, because of their near
ness, to appear larger to us than
do the real qualities—the innate
integrity and goodness—of the
man.
It behooves all of us to remem
ber that were we judged only by
our weaknesses and our errors, we
would seem very bad indeed. Yet
in our own hearts most of us know
that we wish to do right, to be just
and kind and helpful. It is not at i
all likely that the men and women
all around us are so very different.
It is not worth while to ask, as
so many do, for the old-fashioned
men and women of many virtues;
if we cannot see them all around
us it is only because we have a dis
torted vision of life.
The men of today are as up
right, as true, and as truly devout
as men ever were. The women of
today are as pure, as loving, as
tenderly helpful and as serenely
hopeful as women have ever been.
The old-fashioned father who
gave good counsel and set a good
example to his children can be
found all over the land. The old
fashioned mother, whose gentle
charity was as boundless as the
universe and whose self-sacrificing
devotion covered her loved ones
as with a garment, walks the
streets of every village and throngs
the aisles of every' country church.
The sweet girl of the old-time; the
youth of great ambition and high
ideals; the people who unselfishly
loved home and country, and who
reverenced truth and honor all
these, the real nobility of earth,
are all about us; we jostle them in
the streets or see them pass along
the big road every day.
HELP! THEY'RE SMOTHER
MG' VS WITH ROSES!
Of the various exchanges that
come to our office wc must men
tion in complimentary terms The
Newark Journal. Newark is a
town less than 1000 people yet its
paper is better than the ones pub
lished in towns four times larger.
The merchants encourage the ed
itor with a liberal use of his col
umns and the whole sheet is clean,
well printed and shows a united
effort on the part of the publisher
and citizens to produce a paper
that will reflect credit on the
splendid little town (we have nev
er seen it, we are judging it by
the paper) and we wish the owner
a continuance of the encourage
ment he is receiving.— Jackson
County Democrat.
A newspaper is one of the best
means of telling a stranger what
kind of people reside in a town,
and what kind of a town they re
side in. The above article in re
gard to Newark demonstrates that
fact. The editor of the Democrat
says “We have never seen the
town, we are judging it by the pa
per.” He is right about the town
being a good one, and also about
The Journal being a good paper.
We are familiar with The Journal
since its first issue, and it has al
ways been a good paper, but since
it has received the hearty coopera
tion of the citizens, it has been all
the more able to build up the town
to what it is today. 0. F. Craig,
the editor, is a hard worker and a
good newspaper man, but he
would not have been in Newark as
long as he has, had the business
men and citizens not taken an in
terest in him, and realizing what a
good paper means to a town, giv
en him their support. — Wynne
Progress.
Now, really, what’s a timid,
modest fellow to do when he’s lit
erally snowed under by an av
alanche of roses like this?
Here are enough roses to pass
’em around to all the folks who
have so loyally stood by The Jour
nal and helped us to make it a true
representative of our town and
country. So we are passing ’em
out to the folks who really deserve
them. We know they are genuine
because our old friend Bob Wad
dell, editor of the Wynne Progress
is too honest to hand a package
like that to a neigbor if it were
spurious. Bob is one of the best,
most successful and conscientious
newspaper men in Arkansas. This
is proven by the fact that he is
making a decided success in a
town that has (apparently, unde
servedly) been known as a newspa
per graveyard. But he erased the
word “failure” from his vocabulary
several years ago.- Bob is a natur
al climber he wont say “down”
even when he gets in an elevator
—and the otily thing that can ev
er down Bob will be a Kansas cy
clone. ________
Those distinguished personages
who four years ago were “Dear
William” and “Dear Theodore,”
are now just plain “liars” and
“thieves”—they both say so, and
it must be true.
What the people of this part of
the country are more interested in
right now than anything else, is
the making of a big crop of hog
and hominy, cotton, hay and fruit.
When there is plenty of corn and
hay in every barn, fat and sleek
horses, mules, cows and hogs in
every pasture, and every smoke
house contains an abundance of
the fruits of the field, garden and
orchard, then there is not much
danger of the country going to
the dogs, no matter who is presi
dent, tax collector or constable.
The Jackson County Democrat
has been moved from Newport to
Tuckerman. If subsequent issues
do not carry more home patronage
than the first issue, which appear
ed last week, the move will prove
suicidal. Tuckerman is a good
town and should have a paper but
several have been starved to
death there.
The new Progressive party,
born in Chicago as a result of the
Republican split, has adopted the
bandanna handkerchief as the
party battle flag. The old bandan
na has been a mighty useful article
for all these many years and its
real friends hate to see it desecrat
ed in this manner.
The “All Over” man in the Ark
ansas Gazette says, “Few noises
sound as rich to the poor man as
the honk of an automobile horn.”
From which it is safe to say that
the “All Over” man never worked
on a farm and heard the dinner
horn blow about 11:45.
Here is a good thought from
Farm and Ranch for the farmer:
‘ The high cost of living is not felt
by those who produce most of the
I living on the farm. High cost
comes from living out of stores
from the returns of cheap cotton.”
When Newark gets her three
miles of concrete walks, then if
I she had electric lights and water
works she would be getting into
the class where she rightly be
! longs.
