FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ‘28, 1908
Dishonest men usually get a lot of
things they don’t deserve before they
get what they do deserve.
If time is money why does the butch
er and the grocer kick when we try to
■stand him off on the first of the month?
A new weekly paper to be known as
the Arkansas State News, i* to be
established at Little Rock. It will be
independently Democratic and the fi^’st
issue will appear next week.
Jeff ought not to be so selfish as to
take up just one man and boom him
•for office. Just think what a grand
old-fashioned Punch and Judy perform
ance the senator eould give if he
■would espouse the cause of some other
candidate and take him and Kirby
along to play tin part of Punch and
J ud y. __
The Pullman ( ar Company has de
cided to discontinue the sale of liquor
on-its ears in every part of the United
State>, the order to go into effect uts
noon as the liquors now on hand can
be disposed of without loss. An order
to this effet was sent out from .Chicago
several days ago to various superin
tendents throughout the United States.
Senator Davis' public reference to
the editor of this paper as. “That bul
let-headed editor," does not hurt us in
the least. We would rather he an hon
est, sober bullet-headed editor, with
sense enough to attend to our own busi
ness than be a whiskey-soaked, goat
headed politician, with our head so
empty we. couldn’t keep our1 nose out
1 The crowded condition of the Metho
dist church, where the school entertain
ment was given Saturday night, very
forcibly illustrat >s the need of a good
large public hall in Newark for use
on such occasions. Fully one-fourth
of the audience could nol be seated and
many were unable to get in the house.
"The town needs a public hall badly
and now is a good time to start a
movement to build one. The proceeds
of a few entertainments like the one
Saturday night would pay a consider
able portion of the expenses of build
ing a good hall.
Country schools should lie♦uicouray
ed, and the country school house
should be a familiar sight to every
passerby. It should be remembered
that tin' future of this country i-, in the
hands of the youths of the South. Im
prove the rural schools for the sake
of the children, the future home build
ers Hbf the country, hut incidentally
bear in mind that the money invested
in such improvements will briny rich
returns in dollars and cents. The im
provement of the school house and the
beautification of the grounds will en
hance tile value of the contiguous
^Ij’operty to an amount many times
greater than the investment. Cotton

THE 8AM K D()NAGHK V
Tn a speech at Conway two years
ago Jeff Davis said:
“Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen,
but I want to refer to one of your most
distinguished citizens. I want to refer
to a man who lias stood lone-handed
and fought the biggest gang of bood
. lers and thieves that ever invaded our
/State. He defeated the $800,000 ap
propriation Dill that Caldwell & Drake
tried to boodle through the leyislature,,
this man saved the taxpayers of
Arkansas hundreds of thousands of
dollars. I refer to hi.nest Georye \V.
Donayhey.
‘-He has made a gallant fight against
the capitol steal. Mr. Donayhey has
saved the State hundreds of thousands,
maybe millions of dollars, to say noth
thiny of the shtnae and disgrace that
Mould attach to the state of liaviny
the liiyyest scandal on American soil
today.”
Was Jeff Davis lying then or did he
lie in his speech here Tuesday night
when he said that Donayhey entered
into a partnership with Tom Cox six i f
years ago to rob the state on the state e
house contract? f
Jeff stands self-convicted of lying t
on Donaghey. When did he do it,
two years ago when Donagbey was (
iiis friend, or now, when Donaghey re- (
Fuses to quit the governor’s race at .
Jeff’s dictation? ,
In telling what his man Kirby had ,
done, Jeff forgot to tell about a con- (
tract Kirby made with the state of Ar- (
kansas four years ago to digest the
laws of tlie state for the sum of $2,000, ]
and that after he finished the job he
put in a claim for $1,800 more, and
that through the influence of Jeff's
friends in the legislature, a bill was 1
passed allowing him $1,500, making in
all $3,500 he got for doing a job he
contracted to do for $2,000. If any
one doubts that this is a fact, let him
ask any man who was a member of
the legislature of 1905.
The Journal is not attempting to
fight Donaghey’s battles. We have
but little interest in the result of the
gubernatorial contest, and the election
or defeat of Kirby or Donaghey will
not affect us the least. We expect to
have to hustle for our bread no matter
who is elected, just as all other honest
men will have to do. but we detest such
malicious and slanderous methods as
Senator Davis is resorting to in this
campaign in his efforts to place Kirby
in the governor’s office.
THE JOURNAL SUED FOR LIBEL
The Journal is in receipt of a gentle
epistle from our 4>osom friend, tin
famous Colonel Empty Cranium
Waterum. of the Newport Democrat,
demanding that we retract the base
slanders which he says The Journal
has heaped upon his noble and inno
cent head.
The colonel very politely informs
us that we do not deserve any consid
eration at hi* hands, but he is going
to 'five us one more chance, therefore
he asks us, FOR THE LAST TIME, to
publicly acknowledge our wrong.
While he does not exactly sav so,
we infer from the gentle tone of the
colonel's letter, that he is going to
turn The Journal wrong side out and
paint “liar" in red letters all over
our body unless we fall in line and
give him a boost in his race for state
senator.
What the colonel most seriously oh
Or*- !- ♦V*~. wlii,-',, <•>
he has been informed Jhe Journal told
on hint.
The first is that he cannot get sup
plies except (O. I).
Maybe he can’t—we don’t know—
but even if he can't, why should the
colonel want to raise a row with us
about that? We can’t help it. It’s
not our fault. But if such is the case,
and we were in the colonel’s place, we
would not he advertising it that way,
and abusing our neighbors for it. Of
course, we have seen packages come
to the colonel’s office with C. O. I). on
them, hut we never dreamed that every
thing he got 4me that way, or that he
was going to i)iame us ror u.
Thun he says we accused him of
printing Judge Lippman's campaign
paper, known as live Independent,
when the judge was making one of his
memorable fights upon the Democratic
party of Jackson county a few years
ago, when the judge was shooting hot
shot into the Democratic party, which
he now professes to love so dearly.
We can see, of course, where the
shoe pinches in this instance. < ol.
Waterum claims that, with the possible
exception of Judge Lippman, he is the
greatest living Democrat in Jackson
county, and of course it is unpleasant
to the colonel to tell him of these
naughty tricks which he and the judge
conspired to do against the Demo
cratic party, of which they are now
posing as dauntless leaders and great
benefactors.
We suppose, of course, that when a
fellow has groomed himself for a race
to the pie counter, it is very unpleas
ant to have these things told on him,
but we are not responsible for the
colonel’s past political record. We
are not the first one who ever accused
the chesty colonel of this dirty trick;
it was the common belief of many good
Democrats in Jackson county at fliat
time, and petti a ps is today, that
Lippman’s paper was printed in the
colonel office. The colonel denies this,
of course, but, so far as we know,
Judge Lippman has never denied it,
and if such is not the case the judge
ought to come to the rescue of his old
friend and tell where it was printed.
Then the next thing the colonel ob
ject to, is that The Journal accused
him of turning over his paper to a
Republican during a campaign and
leaving town.
Everybody in Jackson county knows
it is a fact that he did do this. In
act, this has occured during almost
very campaign when there was a hard
ight being made on the Democratic
icket in that county.
Now, we don’t say he did this be
ause he is a coward. Oh, no. [he
olonel is doubtles one of the bravest
md most eoupagous men who ever j
vore an epaulelte. or chased a bottle
>f booze down a back alley on Sun
lav. No, it wasn’t cowardice. The
•olonel just can’t stand to see a politi
cal battle at close range it makes j
lim sick.
So when the forces began to line up
’or the battle, and the colonel saw his ■
friend Lippman begin to load up his |
aid long, keen, double-barreled, auto
matic, rapid-lire squirt gun with hot
aii-, the colonel began to get sick at
the stomach, a bad taste came in his
mouth and his knees got weak. The
accustomed nip of Old Crow afforded |
no relief, and as the time for the ap
proaching battle drew nearer, the
great colonel grew worse and worse.
It was indeed a pathetic scene. The
great old Democratic (?) war horse
who had fought, bled and died upon
countless battlefields, was upon the
verge of a mental and physieial col
lapse, trembling like an aspen leaf.
A hurry call was sent in for the ambu
lance and lie was hustled off to a sum
mer resort in the North, where lie re
mained until after the election. Dur
ing his intense agony just before his
departure for the North, the colonel,
unthoughtedly (?) of course, turned
his paper over to a lift-long Rebuli
can, and was soon basking in the
pleasant summer's sun of a popular
Northern resort, happy and carefree,
as a lark.
This proved so pleasant for the col
onel that he repeated it during other
campaigns, and now he’s mad because
somebodv has told it on him. and
wants to sue The Journal for libel.
Oh, the ingratitude of man! We've
bean a bosom friend to Colonel Water
urn: we've tickled his vanity and fed
him taffy ever since we were a beard
less boy, and now to think that he is
threatening to sue us for libel!
But we've telegraphed his office boy
to oil the wheels in the colonel’s head
and open the safety valve on the gas
tank just beneath his hat, for we are
sure the colonel’s got a "hot box” in
that part of his hulk, and when it
cools oif we believe he will feel better.

Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expelling Internal
Parasites.
IEDICINE
The Interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young Mr.
Cooper with his new preparation is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
duality possessed by this medicine,
which he call3 his New Discovery.
Mr. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon
sible for much ill health, and it is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all ill health. He claims that few
can have poor health with a good di
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of a large parasite by Mr.
Cooper’s preparation during his stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr. Cooper, the mother said:
■‘My child Jessie, who is fourteen years
oid, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until
this morning wa did not know wliat
the trouble was. sne was Miremo /
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have a good ap
petite, then again could not bear the
sight of food; she was restless at
night, had a bad breath, especially
when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read or
Cooper’s New Discovery. Several days
ago wo purchased this medicine. Jes
sie has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. I don’t wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm
I feel sure that she will grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr. Cooper, your medicine is worth a.
thousand times more than you charge#
for it. I know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and I certainly expect to tel!
them personally to try your medicine.’”
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gen
eral poor health to try this great med
icine. We are agent for it in this city.
