THE GREAT VALUE OF
DISSATISFACTION
Agitation, even of a poor
sort is the deadly foe of stag
nation. In the long run, the
right can never be hurt, but
must ever be helped by agi
tation. It is only evil which
cannot stand before it.
Dissatisfaction is one of the
finest forces in life. Without
it there would be no going for
ward. We would all stop
where we are and admire our
selves and our surroundingsall
the rest of our useless days,
until God should turn us back
into soil that we might once
more become fertile.
Dissatisfaction is the main
spring of aspiration.
Of course, there can lie dis
satisfaction without aspiration.
Envy, malice, and other base
passions may be the source of
/•linoonf lof o + !-»•» L too t h a
It 'I It V bllMI b • I IV V • t I V • I * b* * V
soul instead of stimulating it.
The poor man must be dis
satisfied with his condition be
fore he can acquire and hold
property, lie must be dissat
isfied not with his privations
and discomforts alone, but
with his lack of practical
knowledge, with his lack of
thrift and providence, and es
pecially with his lack of self
control and of capacity for in
telligent application and sus
tained effort.
The rich man must be dis
satisfied with his condition or
else be a hideous vampire,
sucking the life blood from the
heart of society. He must be
disssatisfied to sit. in the midst
of plenty while others starve,
or else there would be no
princely philanthropy. He
must be dissatisfied with his
own isolation from his suffer
ing strugling fellows, other
wise his soul will shrivel for
want of sympathy to feed
upon.
If a man’s mind and heart
are sound, his dissatisfaction
will largely determine his as
pirations; and aspiration is the
mother of all self-sacrificing
ambition.
Under the caption, “Save
Young Man, Save!" the Dallas
Tilnes-Herald hits the bull's
eye when it says: ‘The pinch
of proverty hasbeenfeltallover
the cotton- raising south. The
European war has worked
American ill. The worst is
over. Better times are just
around the corner. Rut ab
normal conditions have caused
a contraction of business and
men have lost their jobs. Some
of them were line jobs. They
paid good money. Yet in
more thanoneinstance themen
who held them are peniless
today. Why? Because they
didn't save. Unless you save
in the summer of youth and
young manhood, the winter of
your age will be bitter cold.
Arkansas is becoming a sig
nificant factor in the live
stock business of this country,
according to figures compiled
by the State Tax Commission,
which shows that 791,911 cat
tle valued at$15,177,38 1, were
owned by Arkansas farmers
and grazed on Arkansas land
in 1911. The assessed valu
ation. representing 50 per
cent of the true valuation as

BRYAN’S OPINION O F
THE SALOON
The Commoner recently
contained the following edi
torial from the pen of Hon. W.
J. Bryan with reference to the
.saloon.
“A man can be a good Dem
ocrat in good standing without
staggering when he walks.
Do not accuse me of bringing
(his question into politics. I
met an issue after it had been
introduced, and if I have any i
apoligies to offer, I shall not
offer them to the liquor in- j
terests for speaking now. I
shall offer them to the fath
ers and mothers for not speak-1
ing sooner.
“ The saloon is an outlaw i
and a nuisance, and it lives by ;
sufferance where it lives at all
on the theory that if you tried
to abolish it you might get
something worse.
“You cannot build a slaugh-1
ter house in your block with- i
out consulting the people
around you, because you can
not confine the odors to your
own land, and yet some peo
ple would establish a saloon
and fill the air with poison,
and then say to the people j
who must breath it and suffer
from it that they have no right
to nrnfosit ”
Gov. Hays seems to be in
jecting a little “pep” into the
big would-be storm which the
trustees of the Agricultural
Schools are trying so hard to
create. The governor has
said to the trustees, “If you
can't run the schools on the
money available, resign and 1
will put men on the board that
can.” That’s the kind of talk
thart sounds good to us.
Vice President Marshall is
quoted as saying that ~ the
American people are divided
iii to three classes, “hero wor
shipers, knockers and indiffer
ent citizens.” But why does
the vice president ignore the
suckers?
Possibly (Ireat Britain did
n't hear Colonel Roosevelt's
announcement that he and his
four sons have gone into mil
itary training. It is still
blocking American commerce.
— Kansas City Journal.
There were two full moons
in January, none in Feb
ruary and two again in March.
This happened in 1SGG but
astronomers c laim that it will
not occur again in several
thousand years.
Those who believe in "luck"
should take note of the fact
that good liu k and bad hab
its are hardly ever found doing
business at the same stand.
The real worth of a man is
not measured by the wealth
he accumulates but by the ser
vice lie renders hiscommunity.
The world owes every man :
a living, but on a goods box
at the street corner is a migh
ty poor place to collect it.
What Newark needs is a
little less criticism and a little I
more optimism.
