FRIDAY. MARCH 6, 1008
There seems to be a considerable
Hinemon boom on in this part of the
state just at this time, and Hinemon
stock lias taken quite a rise in the last
Jew days. ____________
If you want to know all you have
ever done, and many things you never
thought of doing, just run for office
and you’ll get your character aired in
good shape.
Over 4.non shopmen of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain system have
been thrown out of employment by the
shutting down of shops at various
points along the system. The only '
reason given for laying the men oil is I
that it is necessary to economize.
Such is Republican prosperity.
When the common laborer takes a
few days absence from his job, his
wages are docked for the time he loses,
while Senator Davis who is drawing a
salary of ST.500.00 a year, can leave
his post of duty in Washington and
continue to draw his $24.on a day while
he tells the people how to vote for
governor. Yellville Echo.
The Journal notices that our friend
Waterman of the Newport Democrat
has withdrawn from the race for state
senator from Jackson county. There
is a wide field for usefulness in the
newspaper business, and it affords
•vast opportunities for doing a great
and good work, but the newspaper
man who gets into polities cripples his
usefulness, loses his in fluency and
gemo * rrwfru ■; rend fllTTfOst Th VTtfVwvw-r
gets defeated. We are, therefore, glad
to note that Brother Waterman has
quit politics.
The man who pays his debts and his
taxes may he a blessing or a curse to
the community. It depends on what
else lie does. In making this state
ment. it is to be understood that by the
word “debt” is meant the ordinary
cash obligation which a man incurs in
the transaction of his business. There
are men who appear to believe that so
long as they are not indebted to their
neighbors for goods purchased, or the
municipality or the state for the last
tax levy, they have discharged their
whole difty and nothing- more can be
asked of them. But in reality a man's
duty to Ids neighbor is limited only by
his power to do his neighbor good,
and his duty to the community by hi*
ability to be of service to it. The com
munity in which the prevailing state
ment is “What do I get out of it?" is
one which does not and cannot pros
per.
DAVIS WAS NOT EGGED
The Cotter Courier is in error in
saving that Senator Davis was egged
at Newark. The senator seemed to be
in constant fear that he would l>e treat
ed to an egg shower, but there was ab
solutely no cause for the senator’s
apparent alarm. The people of New
ark are lawabiding and respectable
people, and are above resorting1 to
such low and degrading conduct.
Senator Davis was met at the train
by quite a number of citizens and es
corted to the hotel, where he took sup
per. After supper, several friends
accompanied him to the Ratton Hall,
where he delivered his speech, and no
man was ever given a more respectful
and attentive hearing, until he launch
ed into a tirade against Donaghey.
Senator Davis' own friends admit
that he provoked the row that follow
ed and finally resulted in his having
to close without finishing his sppecb.
After the speaking he was escorted
to the hotel by four prominent citizens.
On his way to the hotel the senator
seemed to be in constant fear that he
was going to be egged, but was assur
ed that nothing of the kind would
happen. Upon his arrival at the hotel
he went immediately to his room. In
a short time he sent for the Honorable
Geo. L. Grant, who had come up from
Newport to meet the senator, and it
was supposed that he wanted Mr.
Grant to undress him and put him to
bed right side up, but in a short time
a freight train came in arid Mr. Grant,
assisted by some other friends, led the
senator over and put him aboard the
train and they went to Newport.
Senator Davis was treated with
every courtesy due him while in New
ark.
A TRIBUTE TO SOLOMON
“Thar never was a boy born into
ti>e world that don’t have to have the
hickory put to him more than once, an'
the oftener the better," said Mr. Billy
Sanders. “You may think my talk is
harsh, but the more I love a boy, the
more I wanter see him come under
some strong an' heavy hand. l)eka/.e I
know it's his only salvation. You
may look back on all the youngsters
you've know'd, an' you'll find that we
aint got any more wisdom than Solo
mon, ef as much. He tore the bottom
out of the basket in a mighty few
words. ‘Spar’ the rod an' spile the
child.’ Ef he'd 'a' never said nothin'
tUem v,»t\ wonls v, ovOU ' ‘ mtul*1
him the wisest man the world ever
seed. No newspaper paragrapher has
ever beat it yit. Ef brevity's the sole
of whitleather, your Uncle Solomon
has got it down mighty line, ef he aint,
you may call me Mabel, an' print in

THE SALOON AND CRIME
A recent examination of the statis
tics of the Arkansas penitentiary gives
startling figures and more strong
argument against the saloon. Last
year 504 convicts were enrolled. Of
these .'H2 were from our seventeen wet
counties and onlv 252 were from the
fifty-eight dry counties. l’si"g the
I vote cast for governor in Ibofi as the
; Imsis of calculation (the census of link)
| being out of date) only twenty-seven
| per cent should have come from the
! wet counties: but the per cent was
actually fifty-five. On the same basis
! the criminals from the dry counties
; should have been seventy-three i>er
i per cent instead of the forty-five per
{ cent actually found. Do licensed sa

AS SUCCESSFUL EAST
AS IN THE WEST
t
Cooper’s Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted
by Eastern People.
L. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the human stomach is the cause oi
most ill health and who created a
furore in Chicago, St. Louis and othei
western cities, is meeting with the
same remarkable success with his
medicine throughout the east. Coopei
has convinced an immense number o'
people that his theory is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims,
Perhaps the most interesting fea
tures of the discussion this young
man is causing, are the statements
made by responsible people who have
taken his medicines and have become
enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.
Among statements of this charac
fcr. the following, by Mr. August
Vittmer, 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi'
ago, Is characteristic of the wide
i faith in Cooper, which ha';
r iwn up in a comparatively shorl
le. Mr. Wittmer says: “I wouldn’t
i; o $1,000 and be In the condition 1
was three week3 ago. I was practi
cally an invalid for fourteen years
and think I had about all of the dis
eases know-n. My stomach was weak
and at times I would have an enor
rnous appetite, and then again none
at all. Pie and cake made rae sick,
and I almost always had a sickening
feeling in my stomach. I was ner
vous, and for weeks at a time could
not sleep, and then again could sleep
eighteen hours at a stretch. Sleep,
however, seemed to do me no good,
and I would awake tired and more
exhausted than when I went to bed.
“I was constipated, had pains in
my back, and flutterings and pains
in my heart. I was unable to work
with any regularity, and took no in
terest in anything. I tried all kinds
of medicines and doctors, but none
benefited me. I had no energy and
no ambition, and had about concluded
to give up when the Cooper medicine
was recommended. Thanks to it, my
health seems completely restored
and I feel like a new man.”
Cooper medicines have created the
greatest sensation of anything of the
kind ever before introduced.
We sell them, and will be gbid to ex
