Well, its all over, so let’s all roll
up our sleeves, go to work and
forget it. _
The man with the ballot seems
to have played an important part
in clarifying the political situation.
If our Arkansas elections came
any oftener than two years, the
supply of mud wouldn’t be equal
to the demand.
Now lets build sidewalks, put
up some new brick buildings and
start a movement to get electric
lights and waterworks in Newark.
“The capital of the Uuited
States is the source of more cam
paign lies than any other place on
the Almighty’s footstool” says a
newspaper dispatch from Wash
ington. We will wager a peanut
that the author of that statement
never ran for an office in Arkan
sas.
The hen cackles because she has
something to advertise. She be
lieves in publicity and publishes
abroad the arrival of a new in
voice of goods. Learn of the hen
and be wise. Many a merchant
has goods on his shelves because
he doesn’t “cackle” and let the
people know what he has to sell.
If “Honest Dave” Lindsey came
no nearer telling the truth all the
way down the line than he did
with reference to The Journal, in
his great “exposure” editorial last
week, he is now fully qualified for
membership in the Annanias club,
and liable to indictment for crim
inal libel. We never saw the Jud
kins articles he refers to until we
saw them published in the Wal
nut Ridge Blade.
The busy men and women of
the world are those who have at
tained greatness. Many such have
endured hardships and practiced
rigid economy to enable them to
meet the demands of a large fami
ly; and the greatest men America
ever produced have been men who
labored with hands and brain.
After acquiring a competency, and
remembering the years that are
gone, most of them admit that
their working years were their
happiest years.

Give Spring chances enough and
she will get here in all her radiant
glory.
It will be observed that a great
many candidates who come in like
a lion go out like a lamb.
A woman never thinks her hus
band so unreasonable as when he
expects her to be reasonable.
Our idea of a pessimist is the
nan who is worrying about how
hot it is going to be next August.
Mr. Roosevelt would like to see
business prosper, yet he wants it
to remember all the time who is
boss.
Prof. Scott Evanston, says if
your feet are cold, you are dis
pleased with something. Perhaps
the weather.
Whether Captain Amundsen
beat Captain Scott to the South
Pole or not, he certainly beat him
in the race back.
The speaker of the new Arizona
legislature is a railroad switch
man; but what the baby state real
ly needs is an engineer.
For the sacred honor of the
press, we deny that any editor has
kicked against the proposed tax
on incomes of over $5,000 as a
personal hardship.
When the average statesman
announces that he will retire from
public life to devote himself to his
private business, it’s a sign that
the sour grapes are ripe.
“A fourteen-year-old cigarette
sucker with a pistol in his pocket
is a good subject for home mission
ary work.” With the woodshed as
the place for delivering the ad
dress.
Governor Hadley, the Republi
can Governor of Missouri has lib
erated 504 felons. If he keeps up
this it is going to be mighty hard
for the Democratic party to carry
Missouri.
The number of people who are
opposed to “new fangled” ideas i
great; and yet all ideas were once
new. At what age does an idea
become respectable? And when
does it cease to be “new fangled?”
The minister’s wife who testified
in court that she had had thirty
homes in eight years is competent
to sympathize with the Methodist
preacher’s daughter who used to
tell her friends that she was born
all along the South shore.
