Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
The saloon men of Little Rock
certainly have two loyal friends
in Ben Griffin and Judge Asher.
The farmers raise the wheat,
the speculators raise the price,
and the consumers raise the
dough. _
Citizens of Cabot have organ
ized a company and will put in
an electric light plant at that
place. Cabot is not as good a
town as Newark, and yet we see
it and many other towns of the
same class outstripping Newark
in the matter of progressive im
provements.
The lower house of the Ark
ansas legislature completely sur
prised everybody when it passed
the bill to permit racing in Ark
ansas. The Journal is unable to
see where or how race track
gambling will result in any legit
imate benefit to Arkansas, and
it is sincerely hoped that the sen
ate will kill the bill.
Memphis has always been
pointed to by the liquor people
as a horrible example of how ut
terly impossible it is to enforce
prohibition laws. The follow
ing squib clipped from the edi
torial column of the Commercial
Appeal, which has always been
an anti-prohibition paper, rather
indicates that prohibition prohib
its, even in Memphis.
“From faces sad and other signs,
Which the old town now exhibits,
We know the miracle is wrought—
Prohibition now prohibits.1'
According to a statement made
on the floor of the house last
Monday by Representative R. A.
Dowdy of this county, Arkansas’
prospective revenue for the com
ing biennial period lacks approxi
mately $1,661,000 of being sufli
cent to pay the necessary ap
propriations for the next two
years and to pay deficits already
created. The total amount of
all appropriations the legislature
is asked to make is $4,534,000,
and it is estimated that the
state’s total income for the next
two years will amount to only
$2,873,000. If these figures are
iCopyrlfcht. by McClura Syndicate.)
correct, it is plainly evident that
the state is going to have to cut
down expense somewhere or
increase its tax rate.
The influence of a good citizen
is far-reaching. His counsel is
sought, his advice asked and his
sympathies appreciated. It is
worth much to have the respect
and esteem of our fellow-citizens
and young men would do well to
take older men of sound judg
ment and rich experience into
their confidence.—Farm and
Ranch.
The Journal is in receipt of a
copy of “Life,” a New York
publication, containing a marked
article which attempts to slur the
Southern people because they
maintain their superiority over
the negro. The article does not
interest us in the least, and the
only comment The Journal has to
offer is that if the editor of “Life”
desires to think he is no better
than the negro, we certainly
have no objections.
We can’t have much sympathy
for the man who raises such a
loud yelp about how “big inter
ests and capital” are squeezing
down on the common people, and
who will turn right around and
buy his merchandise from a large
mail order firm. If that is not
supporting and encouraging big
business and suppressing home
interests, what would you call it“i
—Calico Rock Progress.
The fight started in the legis
lature on H. S. Mobley, presi
dent of the Arkansas Farmers
Union, is not going to win any
glory for the gentlemen who
started it. Mr. Mobley is doing
a good work among the farmers
of Arkansas. His work is ap
preciated by the farmers, and
practically every man in the
state who is acquainted with Mr.
Mobley and his work, has the
utmost confidence in his ability
and integrity.

sas. If you don’t believe it try me.

MANY RUINED
LIVES
Hundreds can point to the use
of calomel as the cause of physi
cal decay. Its strenuous effects
upon liver, kidneys and even the
heart are known to every prac
ticing physician.
Medical science has found a
vegetable compound that elimi-1
nates the poisons from the liver
and accumulations from the bow
els in a safer and saner way than
does calomel, and leaves no ill
after-effects.
This remedy is in the form of
Grigsby’s Liv-er-lax and is a prov- j
en success. It is for sale in 50c and
$1.00 bottles by Newark Drug Co.
who guarantees to refund pur
chase price if you want it. It is al

Why grin and bear all these ills when Sloan’s
Liniment kills pain ?
“ I have used your Liniment and can
say it is fine. I have used it for sore
throat, strained shoulder, and it acted
like a charm.”—Allen Dunn, Itoute 1,
Box 88, Pine Valley, Miss.
“ I am a painter and paperhangcr by
trade, consequently up and down lad
ders. About two years ago my left knee
became lame and sore. It pained me at
nights at times till I could not rest, and
I was contemplat ing giving up my trade
on account of it when I chanced to think
of Sloan’s Liniment. I had never tried
it before, and I am glad to state that
less than one 25c. bottle fixed me up
apparently as good as ever.”—Charles C,
Campbell, Florence, Texas.
