This Township Should
Buy a Road Machine
The Journal believes the citi
zens of Newark and vicinity
should get together and raise
a fund, to be augmented by a
substantial appropriation from
the treasury of the town of i
Newark and an additional and i
larger appropriation from the
road funds of the Big Bottom
Road District, for the purpost
of purchasing an oil tractor
and grader to be used in build
ing good roads into Newark.
The Journal favors getting
down to hard, cold facts, and
making a business proposition
of the road question.
The tax books of the county
show that since the present
road law went into effect there
has been approximately $35,
000 spent on the roads in Big
Bottom township.
In five years from now, if
road working is continued un
der the present system, we will
have spent at least $12,000
more, and our roads will not
be very much better than they
are now, if we are to judge the
future by the past.
This community must have
better roads!
The only way to get them is
for our citizens to get together,
reduce the proposition to a
business basis, buy a tractor
and grader, put it in charge of
a competent man, and BUILD
THE ROADS
It may be argued by some
that the county already owns
one tractor and grader and is
going to buy another.
But what of that? Did you
ever stop to figure how many
miles of road there are in In
dependence county, and how
long it will take to put all
these roads in good condition
with these two machines, or
even with four machines?
The Journal favors the pur
chase of a tractor and grader
for several good reasons.
First and foremost, THIS
COMMUNITY NEEDS THE
ROADS.
And we do not know of any
thing that will pay larger divi
dends in real service to all the
people of the community, or
be of greater benefit to the en
tire community.
Buy a tractor and grader
and make a pike of every road
that leads to Newark.
Make the roads into Newark
so good that the people can’t
keep from coming to Newark.
It can be done. A tractor
and grader, in the hands of a
competent man, in two years
time, will make a good road of
every road within a radius of
ten miles of Newark.
It is no experiment to buy
these machines. They are a
proven success.
Buy a tractor and grader
and put Newark on the map.
New Primary Election
Law a Failure
Many of the best papers in
Arkansas are strongly oppos
ed to the proposed new pri
mary election law, and are not
hesitating to say so. We quote
the following editorial from
the Arkansas News of Little
Rock:
“Primary elections are held
for the one and only purpose
of giving each particular polit
ical party the right to choose
its own candidates and fix its
own rules for holdingelections.
“In doing this it should al
ways be one right of the party
to say what shall constitute
membershin in that party.
“The proposed election law
does not leave the party any
right to fix a standard by
which it may accept or reject
members, and gives the right
to all, regardless of race or col
or, or previous allignment to
walk up and “vote’r straight."
“The people of Arkansas,
members of the Democratic
party, will welcome any law
(that is most Democrats will)
that provides for pure elec
tions, a full vote and a fair
count. Rut the present propos
ed election bill that has been
initiated affords nothing more
than the present law affords,
and it takes away from the
party the right to say who
shall be members.
“For many years in Arkan
sas the first and foremost re
quisite to be a voter in the dom
inant party was to be “a white
Democrat.” This requirement
is removed by the proposed
law. and all that is now needed
is that the man will make a
pledge to support the nomi
nees of the primary in which
i he votes. It removes forever all
party organization, and leaves
the primary election of no
avail, so far as it serves the
party in choosing candidates.
“Then it will unquestionably
allow the lie grot,; to vote, and
even the Republicans are about
to take that privilege away
from the Senegambian.
“The law is not what a ma
jority of the Democrats want
and have been asking for.”
“Harmony and Hughes,” is
the song the Republicans are
singing. The “harmony” is sup
posed to be furnished by the
four million voters who left
the party and voted the Hull
Moose ticket four years ago.
HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
Altar Four Tears of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bulloch Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Cam* to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
ia my left side:
The doctor was called In, and his treat
meat relieved me for a while, but I was
•eoa ooofined to my bed again. After
flN*aO0dagacetned to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, rny husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. 1
! can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
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
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
It will do. Ask him. He wffl recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.

The brewers play polities all
the time, and when you think
there is not going to be a hard
fight made and a lot of money
spent in Arkansas in the com
ing campaign in an effort to
repeal the state-wide prohibi
tion law, you are very much
mistaken. The only way to keep
Arkansas dry is for every man
who favors the present law to
go to the polls and vote against
the proposed law that has been
initiated by the liquorinterests.
It is a significant fact that
more than one-half the saloons
in the United States are in 14
cities. In a list of 36 states of
the Union there are now fewer
saloons than in the city of New
York alone. There are more sa
loons in the city of Chicago
than in the entire area south of
Mason and Dixon’s line. Sa
loons add nothing to the mater
ial prosperity or advancement
of a community. Let’s keep the
saloons out of Arkansas.
The Republican campaign
managers are a cheery lot of
chaps. They insist they are go
ing to carry the presidential
election in not less than thir
ty states. That certainly will be
going some for an organiza
tion that had to becontentwith
Vermont and Utah when it was
last in a presidential contest.—
Bryan’s Commoner.
Colonel Roosevelt’s difficul
ty in getting the Progressives
to follow the notes of his flute
into the Hughes camp recalls
the historic story of the gentle
man who took his horse to wa
ter but found it impossible to
make him drink.
With cheerfulness, energy
and self-confidence, there is no
great obstacle between you
anti success.

There is no tax that brings
bigger return than school tax.
There was a time when our
rural schools were just drag
ging along, but now provisions
are being made by which they
are improving. Show us a com
munity with a good school and
we will show you one where
bright, healthy boys and girls'
are making happy and attrac
tive the homes they represent.
With education comes the de
sire for better homes, better
society, better churches, and
thereby a cleaner and strong
er citizenship.
Read the proposed new pri
mary election law published in
today’s paper and then care
fully compare it with the pres
ent law, and see if you can
find where the proposed law
is any improvement over the
present law. The present elec
tion law has many faults, but
The Journal candidly believes
it is a better law than the one
proposed in Act No. 1.
The defects of Act No. l.the
proposed new primary election
law, are so glaring a school
boy can see them. Read it and
judge for yourself.

AMENDMENT NO. 12
WILL BRING RELIEF
A concrete argument in fav
or of the adoption of Amend
ment No. 12 to the Constitu
tion of Arkansas whereby a
school tax of 12 mills may be
voted, is furnished in Rogers.
The school board announces
that it has but funds enough to
conduct four months of school.
The remainder of the term
must be tuition school and
many poor families will be un
able to provide the tuition. Of
course, a fund will be made up
and the schools conducted, but
wouldn’t it be more e*quitable
to have the matter taken care
of through regular tax-paying
channels? Of course the tax
dodging, money-lending gen
try would have to bear their
part of the burden, but they
will never tote their end unless
forced to, and it is up to the
rest of us to make them play
fair by voting for the amend
ment.—Rogers Press.
