LAW ENFORCEMENT
The last report of the attorney
general of Texas shows some in
teresting statistics as to law en
forcement in that state, and af
fords an example that might well
be emulated in many other states.
In three counties in widely sep
arated portions of the state, there
were, in fifty-five trials for burg
lary, fifty-one convictions.
In four counties, in thirty-one
trials for homicide, there were
twenty-two convictions.
In three counties, in IS I trials
for felony, there were 148 con
victions.
These figures show a proportion
of convictions to trials as large
perhaps as can be found in any
state in the union, and far great
er, we venture to say, than can be
found in any portion of our own
state.
The Journal must say that such
a record for law enforcement
speaks more favorably for the cit
izenship of a state or a community
than anything else that could be
said, and creates a respect for law
that nothing else can do.
The court records of our own
state show that our citizens do not
entertain such a high regard for
law, or else that our juries, wit
nesses and court officials whose
sworn duty it is to enforce the
law, do not properly regard their
oaths and the duties they owe to
the cause of Justice.
In the courts of our -tate we
either have too many indictments
or too low a conception of justice
and too little regard for our oaths.
It is either too easy to indict a
man, or it is too easy to escape
justice.
This is a matter that largely af
fects the patriotism and the ideals
of a people, and is a matter wor
thy of the serious consideration of
every good citizen.
One of the most important mat- :
tern confronting the people of
this section of Arkansas is that of j
drainage. The proper solution of
the drainage problem will make
this section of Arkansas one of
the wealthiest countries under the
sun.
Daniel Webster, about thr< e
years before his death, wrote the
following advice to his grandson,
which contains veritable grains of
gold, and The Journal hopes some
of its young readers will read and
profit thereby. He says: "You
cannot lenrn without your own ef
forts. All the teachers in the
world can never make a scholar of
you if you do not apply yourself
with all your might. Be of good
character and behavior, a boy of
strict truth and honoY and con
science in all things. ‘Remember
now thy creator in the days of thy
youth.’ God has given you a
mind and faculties, and Ho will
surely call you to account. Honor
and obey your parents; be patient
under restraint; look forward con
stantly to your approaching man
hood; and put off every day all
that is frivolous and childish.'’
Craighead county has made
greater progress along the line of
drainage than any county in the
state. The first ditch was cut only
about two years ago, but there are
now live drainage districts in that
county. One of the drainage can
als is over twenty miles long and
drains an area of some 65,000
acres. Fifteen year six per cent
bonds were issued to pay for the
work and were taken at par by a
bank in Toledo, Ohio. Work on
two of the canals has not been
completed, but they will be finish
ed this summer. Drainage is one
of the most important matters be
fore the public in many sections
of the state, and The Journal
hopes the people of this commun
ity will push the drainage project
now pending in the territory east
of Newark.
The Judsonia Advance in its re
port of the berry crop around
Judsonia, says there were 131 cars
of berries shipped from there dur
ing the season of 1909, which sold
for $99,990, an average of $1.5*
per crate. The number of cars
shipped during the season of 191<> |
was 150, which sold for $123,635.
78, an average of $1.71 per crate.
This is an excellent showing and
The Journal hopes it will encour
age the people around Newark to
take hold of the berry-growing
movement with renewed energy.
The counterfeit and the genuine
are found everywhere—in religion
in the lodges, in society, in politics j
and in money. We often hoar
of men refusing to have anything
to do with the churches, because
there are hyproerites, or counter
feit Christains, but we never hear
of one of these fellows refusing to j
have anything to do with money
because there are counterfeit dol
lars.
The man that diversities his!
crops, intensifies his cultivation
and markets his products to ad
vantage has no fear of debt and
the high cost of living. He is a
producer and not a consumer only.
With him the farm pays and its
environment is attractive. Farm
and Ranch.
