Greed and Gall Cheif
Marks of Greatness
The Arkansas Gazette is en
gaged in a bitter and unprin
cipled attack upon Gov. Hays
because the Governor is con
ducting the affairs of his office
in his own way instead of toady
ing to the wishes of the Gazette.
The Gazette has a very sore
toe, and every day for the past
two weeks the Gazette has pro
ceeded to unwrap its sore toe
for public exhibition and send
up a wail that for real down
right rotteness has anything
outclassed ir. the way of a sore
toe exhibition that was ever
staged in Arkansas.
There is an old law on the
statute! booksirequiring, petitions
for pardons to be published,
the object being to place a re
striction upon the too free is
suance of pardons by the gov
ernor. The law was passed a
number of years ago but has
never been observed by any
governor since its passage. It
has fallen into disuse through
custom and has probably not
been complied with a dozen
times since its enactment. Re
cently, however, some Smart
Alec circuit judge who seems
to be more impressed with his
own authority than with the
matter justice, and who isnurs
ing a personal and political
dislike for Hays, declared he
would set aside a pardon issued
by Gov. Hays because a petition
for the pardon had not been
published.
The Gazette, thinking it saw
an opportunity to rake in some
coin, and it being the policy of
that paper to never let a pen
ny get away, regardless of
whence or how it came, im
mediately began an agitation
for “publicity for pardons.”
And then came “the blow
that killed father,” when Gov.
Hays suggested that petitions
for pardons be published in the
Arkansas Democrat.
The publication of petitions
for pardons, must, of course,
be paid for and the Democrat
gets this money instead of the
Gazette. The Gazette was at
once seized with a case of the
bellyache severe enough to kill
a rubber elephant.
It developed a sore toe and
began sending up a wail that
is so rotten and unjustifiable it
would makt a Dago organ
grinder blush.
Rut if this money for “pub
licity for pardons” had been
given to the Gazette—do you
suppose there would have been
a howl?
No, most assuredly not!
And still smarting under its
disappointment at the loss of
pardon publicity money, and
urged on by its conscienceless
desire to “get even” with the
governor, the Gazette takes
advantage of the unfortunate
conditions that have arisen at
the State Hospital, and drags
that institution into its fight up
on Gov. Hays, not hesitating
to wilfully and maliciously mis
represent the governor and the
State Board of Control who
have the management of this
institution for the care of the
state’s unfortunate wards..
Truly, the Gazette is a
“great” newspaper, the pre
dominant feature of its “great
ness” being its lack of principle
and tin1 overwhelming immen
sity of its gall.
A closer spirit of co-opera
tion between the people of
Newark and this community
would produce excellent re
sults. If we could have a few
meetings in the interest of a
general “Get Together’’ move
ment we could compare ideas,
offer and discuss suggestions for
bettering conditions in the
community that would nodoubt
materially improve and ad
vance the interests of the town
and the people generally in
every way—socially, morally,
religiously and financially.Such
a movement, if entered into in
the proper spirit,could not help
but prove beneficial. Suppose
we try it?
While walking along the
street the other day we noticed
a well known business man
diligently at work pulling the
weeds along the sidewalk in
front of his residence. Right
there we credited him with one
more step along the road that
leads to good citizenship.

Help will be needed in this community
to work at the Canning Factory and gath

We lack only a few acres having suffi
cient tomatoes contracted for and can take
only a few more contracts. Better hurry
if you want in on a good thing.
Now let’s get busy with the planting
and cultivation. Be honest and give the
tomatoes the same attention you give cot

over whelmingly satisfied with results.
We have plants to furnish those who
have not arranged for plants or seed.

Loyalty to Our
Public Schools
It has been a matter of com
ment that the school election
in Newark last Saturday was
devoid of much of the factional
strife that has heretofore char
acterized some of the school
elections in this district.
It will be a matter for con
gratulation when the people
of this community get away
from and above the petty fac
tionalism that has entered into
some of the school elections in
this community. No good can
come from injecting such mat
ters into school affairs.
Our school is one of the
greatest assets of the commun
ty, and every citizen should
stand loyally by the school,for
education is one of the strong
est bulwarks of civilization and
good citizenship.
Instead of criticising, and
knocking, and disrupting this
social and commercial neces
sity, let us exert our individual
efforts to its advancement and
expansion.
The public school is one of
our greatest constructive agen
cies. and without its aid and
assistance in creating and cul
tivating the intellect of our
young people, this community
would soon be sinking to the
ancient plane of ignorance and
superstition.
There is nothing to be gain
ed by jeopardizing the work
and influence of our public
school system, but there is ev
erything to gain by fostering
and encouraging and extend
ing it a helping hand.
Education is a vital necessity
of the day, and its effects are
felt in every walk of life. With
out it a young man enters upon
the serious problems of life
handicapped in a thousand
ways.
We of the community are
personally intersted in the wel
fare of the community, and
there is no way in which we
can better serve our individual
and collective interests than by
standing loyally behind our
public schools.
They need our good will and
encouragement—not only need
them, but should have them.
The Arkansas Gazette seems
to be somewhat disturbed over
what it terms a “violation of
law” by Goveronr Hays in re
quiring that all applicationsfor
pardons must be published in
the Arkansas Democrat. If all
of us had that respect for the
law all the time which wesome
times exhibit when the wrong
ox is gored, we’d certainly be
a law-abiding people.—Ste
phens News.
1 Jo you want to see good
roads all over the farming
country adjacent to Newark?
So do we. We are willing to
do our share of work, dig down
into our pockets, use the col
umns of The Journal to boost
the movement, or perform any
other duty it is possible for us
to do, or all of them if neces
sary. What are you willing to
do? You have the floor.
The people of Arkansas, and
especially those from whose
homes and firesides have come
[the 2,000 patients at the State
Hospital earnestly wish that
a post-mortem could be con
ducted on Politics in that insti
tution.—Arkansas Gazette,

editor of the Gazette would
help some.

Our Country Needs
Better Roads
With the steadily increasing
number ot automobiles in Inde
pendence county, and all ordin
ary traffic increasing steadily
the matter of better country
roads is becoming a vital ques
tion in this county.
The size of our crops is not
the only thing to be considered
when calculating upon the fu
ture prosperity of our county.
The matter of getting these
crops to market in the quickest
possible time and at the least
expense is one of the most im
portant problems we have to
deal with today.
Good roads benefit. every
body, but the farmer is more
directly benefitted than any
one else.
The increased facilities for
marketing our products, and
the increase in acreage as a re
sult of improved road condi
tions would more than pay the
cost of building and maintain
ing good roads.
It is a cold,sane, hardheaded
business proposition for the
material welfare of the whole
community, and should be tak
en up and carried through to
completion by the people with
out loss of time.
Wherever you find high
grade country roads, there you
invariably' find a prosperous
class of people.
We need them here, and we
can accomodate all of the pros
perity that follows in their
wake.
There is a news article from
Judsonia in this issue that af
fords some mighty interesting
reading for the farmers around
Newark. Read it over, think it
over, and consider what berry
growing would mean to the
farmers of this community.
There is no question about us
growing bcrreis here.The ques
tion is, WILL we do it?
There is no man but what
values the good will of his nei
ghbors, and all men should
strive to retain that good will,
for it is a universally accepted
fact that your neighbor comes
the nearest o^all knowing you
as you are.
