Did you succeed in wading
through the President's message?
Roosevelt should practice what
lie preaches by appointing a few
negroes to cilice in the North.
Congress convened last Monday
and the Arkansas legislature meets
in a lew weeks. Surely there are
strenuous times ahead.
It is generally conceeded that
Roosevelt’s message failed to ful
fil the expectations of the anti
trust element of his party.
Senator Hanna declares that he
is out of politics, hut we notice
that a* has not offered a reward
to anyone who will kill that little
presidential boom of his.
Congress is already threatened
with a half dozen or more anti
trust Dills, which is a good sign
that there will he no anti trust
laws enacted at this session.
Roosevelt frequently appoints
a negro to an office in the South.
Dut we have yet to hear of bin
appointing one in the Noitli. «Vhj
this discimunition? Do all tin
good negroes live in the South?
Of course, there is no dangei
of the democratic party ever lion
oring Cleveland again, but if lit
was half ..s popular with tin
democrats as he is with republi
cans he would be their next presi
dential candidate.
WEEDS
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it’s
easily destroyed while young:
when old, sometimes im
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as yoi
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer i<
Scott’s Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too,but it is very hare
to digest.
The time to treat consump
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself
Others see it, you won't.
Don’t wait until you can’l
deceive yourself any longer
Begin with the first thoughi
to take Scott's Emulsion. 1
it isn’t really consumption si
much the better; you will soor
forget it and be better for tin
treatment. If it is consump
tion you can’t expect to b<
cured at once, but if you wii
begin in time and will b<
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all yoi
can, that’s the treatment aiu
that's the best treatment.
We will send yoi
a little of the Emul
sion free.

We note at least one improve
ment in President Koosevelt’s
message to Congress over those
of many of his predecessors. It
was only about half as long as the
usual document inflicted upon
that body.
THE LICENSE QUESTION,
We believe the city council did
a wise thing in requiring all busi
ness establishments to pay a
license. The time has ai rived
when the town must make some
public improvements and to do
this it is necessary to have reve
nue. All other towns require a
license from business establish
ments and there is no valid reason
why Newark should not do the
same thing. We cannot expect
to live in a town and have any
public improvements unless we
provide some way of raising the
necessary revenue. A city gov
eminent without revenue is utter
ly incapable of properly carrying
on the town’s business, much less
making any public improvements,
and the time has fully arrived
when Newark must lay aside her
swaddling clothes and prepare to
enter upon a solid, substantial era
of growth, prosperity and com
mercial expansion. Newark is de
stined to become a town of impor
tance and every citizen of the
town should feci interested in the
future welfare of the town at
least to the extent of liberally
supporting the city government
in it’s effort to place our town on
an equal footing with other towns
in the way of public improve
ments.
We believe the people will in
dorse t lie action of t he city officials
in raising the saloon license, also.
The Journal does not believe in
an exorbitant or prohibitive li
cense in any case, but that the sa
loon license have heretofore been
too low no one will attempt to
deny.
So far as we have been able to
ascertain, the saloon men have
made no kick at the action of the
council in raising the license. In
fact, W, T Mugness, proprietoi
of the popular Kentucky Prince
Saloon, who is a member of the
council, voted in favor of the or
dinance raising the license. The
license on the other business es
tablishments is ligt.t and will
hardly lie felt.
This’ gives the council ample
revenue to meet the expenses of
making public improvements and
there is now no excuse for the
town not having decent street
' crossings, more sidewalks and
other needed improvements.

Asthma
“One of my daughters had a
terrible case of asthma. We tried
almost everything, but without re
lief. We then tried Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral, and three and one-haJf
bottles cured her.”—Emma Jane
Entsminger, Langsville. O.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
certainly cures many cases
of asthma.
And it cures bronchitis,
hoarseness, weak lungs,
whooping-cough, croup,
winter coughs, night
coughs, and hard colds.

The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
This combination is the cause, and the important cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35 000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning fuither large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
of perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. The incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned repututiud and such advancing progress.
Wc solicit inquries of all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
