running a newspaper is like chas

Yesterday was the Jewish New
Year, and according to the chro
nology of the Jews today (Friday)
is the second day of the first
month of the year 5607.
The report comes from Newport
that the mosquitoes were so bad
there this summer that one recent-!
3y bit a man on Ids wooden leg
and raised a knot half an inch in
diameter.
It is claimed the cost of living
has increased considerably during!
the last few years. If that is the '
case there is only one of two things
to do: Hump ourselves and make
more or eat less. I

A Baltimore doctor says that
prosperity is driving the people to
insanity. In that case we should i
think the M. D.’s would be doubly j
sure of giving relief—if their
treatment fails, the bill will
effect a cure.
The Progress says that $10 a
•day is the price set by the council
for a merry-go ’round to do busi
ness in Calico Rock, consequently
the merry-go-’round didn’t go
’round in that town If the town
council of Newark had done like
wise it would have kept a snug lit- i
tie sum of money here that could
Tcve been used to better advan
tage. _
It is said that many Indiana j
farmers are making an average of j
nearly a hundred dollars an acre 1
growing tomatoes for their local'
canning factories. There is no j
better field in the world for toma- ;
to growing than right here in Ar
kansas, yet we sit idly by and al
low the more progressive people ;
of other states to become wealthy |
growing and canning vegetables
for our table.
As the season advances the cot
ton crop prospects seem to dimin
ish, and now instead of predictions j
of a 100 per cent crop, which was j
the concensus of opinion some
weeks ago, conservative estimates
place the cn ;> now at about 75 per
cent. Reports from all directions I
are to the effect that there has been ;
a decided deterioration during the ,
pa*t three or four weeks, owing
largely to wet weather.
Com plete returns from the re
cent election show that the Thirty
sixth General Assembly of Arkan
sas which convenes on the the sec
ond Monday in next January, will
consist of 130 Democrats and live
Republicans. There will be only
one Republican in the Senate—
| Legate of Polk county—and four
in the house. The Republican
representatives are Gardner
Skaggs, of Fulton county; J. F.
Carleton, Newton county: S. E.
' Holla baugh, Searcy county, and
|,I. W. Webb of Stone county.
The State Republican says that
since Missouri elected a Republi
can delegation in congress the
price of her farm lands has ad
vanced ’steen million dollars and
immigrants have Hocked to the
state. But the State Republican
failed to observe that during the
same period the advance in Arkan
sas farm lands has kept pace with
Missouri; also that the per ceutage
of immigration has been as great
and the per centage of increase ;n
manufacturing industries has been
greater in Arkansas than in Mis
souri, and Arkansas has had no
Republican congressmen. But the
State Republican is so badly warp
ed that it actually thinks the cow
owned by Democrats give sour
milk.
NEGRO TAX PAYERS
Figures compiled trom the an
nual settlements with the state au
ditor made by the various county
collectors of the state show dur
ing the year 1905 a total of 241,
530 persons paid poll tax in Ark
ansas. Of this number approxi
mately 50,000 were negroes, the
remainder of the 241,530 being
white.
This report shows that there are
only 104 negroes in Independence

BRYAN AND GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP
There has been considerable un
favorable comment by certain
newspapers upon what they have
been pleased to term Mr. Bryan’s
radical ideas on government own
ership of railroads, and certain pa
pers have tried to make it appear
that Mr. Bryan would attempt to
force the Democratic party to in
corporate a strong declaration in
favor of government ownership in
the next national platform.
But Mr. Bryan has never as
sumed the role of a dictator since
his entrance into politics, and the
following from his recent speech
at Louisville proves that he has
no intention of dictating to the
party in regard to government
ownership:
“If you ask me whether the
question of government ownership
will be an issue in the campaign of
1908, I answer I do not know. If
you ask me whether it ought to be
in the platform, 1 answer 1 cannot
tell until 1 know what the Demo
cratic voters think upon the sub
ject. If the Democrats believe
that the next platform should con
tain a plank in favor of ownership,
then that plank ought to be in
cluded. If the Democrats think
it ought not to contain such a
plank then such a plank ought not
to be included.”
