Excuse Us But We Can't
Jine the League
The editor of The Journal
has received from Men L. Grif
fin. the paid hireling of the li
quor interests, an invitation to
join the so-called “Local Self
Government League,” which
should be more properly nam
ed, “The Liars League for the
Liquor Interests in Arkansas."
The membership card was
returned to Men blank, beeau ■
the postal regulation will not
permit us to write what we de
sired to write on the card.
Men and his Liars League
are the fellows who initiated
Act No. 2 for the repeal of
the state-wide prohibition law.
and this is the same Hen who,
at the recent State Farmer’s
Union meeting, was sat down
on so hard that he was flatten
ed out so thin the wind blew
through him.
We wonder if this gang of
liars think they can fool any
body in Arkansas?
This gag they are getting
off about "local self govern
ment” is the most absurd and
inconsistent thing: that has
been sprung on an unsuspect
ing public iti many years.
This Liars League poses as
the champion of "local self
government," and yet it is pay
ing Ben (I riff in a fat salary to
travel all over the state and try
to influence people to vote for
a law that will foist upon the
state a festering, corrupt insti
tution that knows no govern
ment and is the world’s worst
enemy not only to government,
but to industry, morality, pro
gress and civilization.
This Liars League poses as
the champion of local self gov
ernment and yet it expects to
bring thousands of dollars of
outside money into the state to
influence the riff raff element,
who pay no taxes and contri
bute nothing to the support of
any government .to vote for the
repeal of the statewide prohi
bition law. and thus open into
every community of Arkansas
the flood gates of the breweries
that are located in other states.
And yet this gang of liars
prate about "local self govern
ment."
A casual leading of Act No.
2 will convince any man that
this gang is ven ineonsisent in
their cry of "Let the people
rule.”
For instance, it Act No. 2 is
adopted, no matter if Indepen
dence county votes against the
bill, a special election can be
ordered every 60 days in this
county, upon the petition of a
very small number of voters
until the county votes for li
cense, and if the clerk fails to
file a petition for such an elec
tion. or the county judge fails
or refuses to order the election,
they arc* liable to a sentence of
one year in the penitentiary.
On the other hand, when a
county once votes “wet” an
other election cannot be had
on the subject tor two years.
The county judge has no dis
cretion in the issuance of li
cense and if he refuses to issue
license he must forfeit his of
fice and go to the penitentiary
for one year.
Act No. 2 repeals the three
mile law and all other laws
under which saloons may be
petitioned out.
But here is where their “lo
cal self government” plea
strikes the worst snag of all. II
Independence county should
vote "wet," every town of 500
population in the county will
have one or more saloons, re
gardless of the vote or senti
ment of the town against the
saliin. In thier enthusiasm for
“local self government,” the
framers of Act No. 2 “forgot”
to provide means fo keeping
I he saloon ()! JT of a town
which might nol waul it. Their
main idea seems to be to get
the saloon IN.
With this gang, “local self
government" means only the
right to sell liquor, and they
consider that there is no such
a thing as I In- right of the peo
ple to prevent the sale of li
<|Uor.
If Act No. 2 is adopted, am
Independence county votes
“wet” by only one vote. New
ark will have three saloons, no
matter if every voter in New
ark and this township cast
their vote against license.There
is no way of keeping thesaloon
out, either by petition or other
wise.
And yet the bunch of liars
who are behind this bill have
the gall to tell the people that
this is local option and “local
I self government/’
Under Act No. 2, even the
town authorities c m do noth
ing to prevent the sale of li
quor in any town, regardless of
public sentiment. Under the
old law, where saloons could
not be kepi out otherwise, the
town council could place the li
cense so high as to make the
business unprofitable and thus
keep the saloon out. Hut if the
saloon advocates can bewilder
the people with their plea of
“local self government." and
secure the adoption of Act No.
2. the town councils will then
be shorn of their power to pro
tect the people, as section it of
the bill makes provision for

Up in Despair. Husband

If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has

Heavy Loss From
Hog Cholera
A matter of vital interest to
every citizen of Arkansas, and
one which affects the prosperi
ty of the state, is the campaign
now being waged against the
devastating spread of hog
cholera.
It, is estimated that 20,000,
000 pounds of pork has been
lost in Arkansas during the
past year by hog cholera. At
present prices, this represents
a loss of two million dollars.
An effort is being made by
Dean .J. H. Miller and the U. S.
agricultural extension forces
in Arkansas to enlist the co-op
eration of every farmer in the
state to exterminate hog chol
era, just as the cattle tick is
being eradicated by persistent
effort.
There are some stern facts j
that must be faced if the state ;
is to make the proper progress. ;
The people must cease to de
ceive themselves with the con
ceit that we are ahead of ev
erybody in everything.We have
long journeys to make yet
along several important high
ways and the sooner we realize
it, the better will it be for us.
For instance, Arkansas ranks
22nd in hog production, and
our hogs average only 75
pounds, whereas those of Iowa
average 200. That Arkansas
can produce superior hogs is
demonstrated by the exhibits
at county fairs and the results
achieved everywhere by pro
gressive swine growers.
Act No. 2 is “loaded” with
quart bottles, six-shooters, au
tomatics, brass knucks, unpaid
grocery bills, work-house sen
tences, barefoot children, dis
tracted mothers, empty pay en
velopes, befuddled brains ana
numerous tombstones. John
Barleycorn most respectfully
solicits your assistance. It will
be appreciated by the distillers
and booze vendors.—Para
gould Soliphone.
Judge Hughes is still travel
ing over the country having a
good time sight seeing and
meeting the people and show
ing them bow he parts his
whiskers. Nobody seems to
take him seriously however.—
Stephens News.
Independence county crops
this year are going to make ttn
barns, cribs and freight cars
bulge. And with cotton worth
$ 100 a bale the farmers are
going to enjoy some real, genu
ine Democratic prosperity.
Admiral Dewey says the
American navy is more effi
cient than it ever was before.
And it happens that he knows
something about what he is
talking about.
More hogs, cattle, sheep and
chickens in Independcncecoun
ty will help wonderfully to
ward solving the problem of
the high cost of living.

Breathes there a man with

lightly friends; let no rude

calm repose, unsought except
by men he owes. And when he
dies, go plant him deep, that
naught may break his dream
less sleep, where no rude clam
or may dispel the quiet that he
loved so well. And when the
world may know its loss, place
on his grave a wreath of moss;
