SOCIALISM IS NO PANACEA
I'armerB Union is Warned Against
Entangling Political Alliances
To The Newark Journal
I notice in The Journal of Feb
ruary Sa “recipe” for the farm
ers’ predicament. The ingredients
external being Socialism; internal
being an attempt to infatuate the
minds of the many readers of The
Jou rnal.
The first question my friend
Pearing propounded relative to
the reason why we as farmers did
not elect a • legislature from our
own ranks, is this: we are no}
trying to organize our selves as a
body of lawmakers; but to educate
■ourselves in the various phases
that pertains to our interest. We
have been cast off into oblivion
in the past by trying toelect legis
lators from our ranks. Politics
and Unionism will never be yoked
together. That which causes di
vision is to be avoided, and past
experiences in politics has learned
us a valuable lesson; one that will
never be forgotten by the sturdy
farmer. Our organization stands
aloof from politi s, but seeks to
unite the tiller or the soil into one
body to check the speculators the
money sharks ami big-eyed politi
cians. Friend 1 Faring admits
that he is not a farmer. But he is
kind enough to give us some ad
vice. The thousands of sacrifices,
the unlimited oppression, that has
been heaped upon the farmer by
those whose own business was to
meddle with our all'airs. Beware
Bro. Farmers lest wolves in sheeps
clothing catch us not at our post.
Unsolicited advices and plans do
not always contain wholesome mo
tives. Be not deceived by elegant
writers or silver tongue orators.
Our busines is ours. What we do
may not exactly suit the up to-date
business man who knows no more
about farm life than an ant-eater
does about a steam drill. We may
be a little awkward, but an awk-|
ward child makes a strong man.
A thorough understanding among
ourselves will mend our many
mistakes. Corrupt politicians
seems to be one of Mr. Dealing’s
hobbys. The day for corrupt
politicians is spent. The Farmers
Union backs from a politician like
a craw fish would from an ele
phant.
A goodly majority of people
vote their sentiments. There
is plenty of good honest men in
both the Democrat and Republi
can parties and also the Socialist
if it should have a party. Let me
emphasize here that the Farmers
Union is no part of a political
party and will never be coaxed in
to one. Socialism need never j
hope to absorb it for our sentinels :
are a brave and fearful men. We '
do not wish to incur the enmity of j
any one, but Bro. Union Man i

But the strongest point about Scott's
Emulsion is that you don’t have to be
sick to get results from it.
It keeps up the athlete’s strength, puts fat

HON. W. S. WRIGHT DEAD
Prominent Young Attorney Died at
Kia Home at Batesville.
Hon. W. S. Wright died at his
home at Batesville Saturday, after
an illness of only a few days from
pneumonia.
Mr. Wright was one of the most
prominent and successful young
attorneys in the county and had
many friends.
The remains were buried Sun
day afternoon at Sulphur Rock.
The following sketch of his life
is clipped from the Batesville
Daily Guard of Saturday:
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
-Joseph Wright, an old and re
spected couple, and was born at
Sulphur Rock March 8, 1874 and
received a common school couse of
instruction there. The glamour
of a lawyer’s fame fired his am
bition at an early age and as soon
as he completed the common
school at Sulphur Rock he read
law under Col. Yancey and .Judge
Fulkerson. In the year 1897 he
attended the law school at Little
Rock and upon returning, again
resumed his duties "under Yancey
& Fulkerson. In 1898 he was ad
mitted to practice before the Inde
pendence county bar and practiced
alone for two years. Then he
formed a partnership with Hon.
W. A. Oldfield with whom he re
mained until 1902, when Oldfield
was elected Prosecuting Attorney
for this District for his first term.
Me and Hon. I. J. Matheny then
formed the firm of Wright &
Matheny, which continued for
about a year. In the following
year the firm of Wright & Reeder
was formed which lasted until the
death of Wright. In 1901 Mr.
Wright was elected Representative
from Independence county to the
State Legislature where he served
one term.
Besides being respected as an
attorney, he had many warm per
sonal friends, and “Jack,” as they
called him, was a general favorite
with the citizens of Sulphur Rock
and surrounding community. His
father and mother and three bro
thers, Luther, George and Charles
and a large number of close rela
tives still live at Sulphur Rock
and in their bereavement they
have (he heartfelt sympathy of all.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Industry is fortunes light hand

He is wise that is honest.
Deliberate slowly execute promt

Its better to be alone than in
bad company.
