FRIDAY, .JANUARY 24, 1908
Our Jeff has been offered $2,000 a
Inonth to go on the vaudeville stage.
Such is fame.
Mr. Kirby, like Caldwell & Drake,
is a believer in additional appropria
tions on State contracts. He took the
job of digesting the laws of the state
for so much, and then hollered for
more pay. Monroe County Citizen.
Brother Waterman of the Newport
Democrat intimates that the cause of
the failure of tlit- Tuekerman Times,
is that it made the very grave mistake
of opposing his candidacy for state
senator. Its our opinion that if the
Times never made any greater mistake
than o[ posing Waterman's political
aspirations, it would he the most per
fect and successful newspaper in Ar
kansas. _
Senator Davis’ •‘tribute” to the news
paper men of Arkansas, in his recent
Hooper Union speech in New York,
ought to be highly appreciated by
Buck Woods of the Beels? News,
Walter Williams of the Brinkley
Hiti/.en, Taylor of the Parngould Soli
phone, and a few others. Its certainly
a ••gem” and shows how very much he
appreciates the friendship of the news
paper men.
Even in old Kentucky, which is
noted for its production of line liquors,
the prohibition sentiment is making
such headway that the breWers, dis
tillers and liquor dealers held a meet
ing at Louisville this week to try to
stain the tide by formulating a pro
posed ‘‘model license law.” We may
expect to see a “model license law”
about the same time we see the solu
tion of the perpetual motion problem.
Senator Davis announces that he
will begin a campaign tour of the state
about the middle of February in the
interest of W. F. Kirby for governor.
Senator Davis is paid a salary of
a year (or nearly WI a day for
each working day of the year) to as
sist his colleague in representing Ar
kansas in the United States senate,
land its our opinion that if he earns
the money, he will have no time to
leave his post of duty and traipse
around over Arkansas dictating to the I
people as to whom they should elect
for governor. The people of Arkansas j
are fully capable of choosing a gov- ’
ernor without any of the Senator's j
advice. By whose authority lias he \
been appointed guardian of the people I
that he mu*! instruct them how and for
whom to vote?
Don’t Preach About
Borne Trade
at the same time send
your''Vders for job printing
out of town. Your home
printer can do your work just
as good, and in nine cases out
of ten he can beat the city
man's prices, because he pays
much less for running ex
penses. By sending your next
printing order to this office
you'll be better satisfied all
around, and you'll be keeping
the money at home.
One year ago last Friday Jno. S.
Little was Inaugurated Governor of
Arkansas. Three days later he was
stricken with nervous prostration and
is still a mental wreck. It being now
less than one year until his successor
will be inaugurated, the question of a
special election is altogether eliminat
ed, and Acting Governor Pindall will
continue to serve the state as gover
nor until the man whom the people
elect next September is inauguarated
in January, 1909.
Gen. Powell Clayton, the recognized
Republican boss of Arkansas, has
given out a statement that the Arkan
sas delegation to the Republican na
tional convention will go uninstructed.
This can be considered official, unless
it develops in the meantime that some
of the Republican presidental aspir
ants has secured enough instructed
delegates to nominate on first ballot.
The Arkansas Republicans are deter
mined not to be crowded out of the
band wagon if they can possibly help
it.
There will be no more work done on
Arkansan’ new capitol building-until
the legislature meets again and makes
further appropriations for that pur
pose, the supreme court having hand
ed down an opinion last Monday, in
which it held that no money could be
paid out for work on the capitol build
ing, because the fund originally ap
propriated cannot be used until the
legislature renews the appropriation.
The court holds that, according to the
constitution, state appropriations can
only be used for two years. Thus the
crumbling ruins of this magnificent
structure will stand for another year
as a monument to the dishonor of
Arkansas “statesmanship. “
Don’t be afraid to do your duty be
cause some one ridicules or opposes
you, A man who has opinions of his
own and the courage to advocate them
will be sure to have opposition in this ,
world because he runs across or con
trary to other peoples’ opinions; but
just keep right ahead if your cause is
right and your conscience clear. Don’t
worry about what other people say;
life is too short for that. Some will
abuse you through envy, others for
the want of principle and some be
cause they honestly differ from you:
but if you keep right on, openly, man
fully and intelligently, and with your
proper dignity of character, honesty
of purpose and self-respect, those who
differ from you will respect your!
opinions. _
Heading, writing and spelling we
say it regretfully—are not thoroughly j
taught in the common schools of the
land. Young men and women who
seek instruction in telegraphy, stenog
raphy and typewriting, although of
good ability and general information,
are lamentably deficient in the funda
mentals of the Kriglish language.
They especially can not spell. Out of
thirty or'forty words in ordinary use
sometimes one-half, or even two-thirds
are misspelled. This every newspaper
man will Stand ready to vouch for j
from experience. The common schools
do not give the common rudiments the
attention they should too much at
tention is given the higher branches
before the common ones have been
mastered.
LIVING AT HOME
There are a good many problems
confronting the farmers when it comes 1
to a consideration of his acreage for
another year and what crops to plant,
but it is safe to say that they will come
nearer being successfully solved by
the man who first plans on how he can j
live at home regardless of what con
ditions may confront him.
The condition confronting the farm
ers of this section are the greatest ar
j gument that can bu made for crop j
I diversification, and the making of the j
I living on the farm.
In every section of Arkansas where
fruits and truck, the cow, the hen and
the hog has received attention, bank
statements make an excellent showing
and little complaint is heard of dull
times. In these sections the farmers
are whistling merrily over their prep
arations for spring planting, satisfied
that their home-filled larder will carry
them through and keep their families
in comfort.
On the other hand, those sections
where crops have been specialized the
farmers, the bankers and the merchants
anj all worrying over market pros
pects. The farmer who plans for his
garden, his stable, his stye and his
fowl house first, and his money and
crops later is the most independent
man on earth, for no matter what
comes he is sure of his living, and, as
an exchange says, that is about all
that comes to us in this world anyway.

I
The correct tent of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service, in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
FAVORS NEW THEORY
—
E. H. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts*
Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.
One of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by E. H. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at 115 Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr. Lambert has this to say in con
nection with Cooper and his medi
cines: “Some time ago 1 read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most ill health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom
ach in sound condition, it wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines tvas due entirely
to this fact.
“I am now fully convinced that this
theory is Correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
“I have been a sick man for five
years. Three years ago I was told by?
a physician that I had Bright’s dis
ease of the kidneys. I have treated
constantly for this trouble since, with
out results. After reading the article
I have mentioned, I purchased some
of this man Cooper’s medicine. I have
been astounded by what it has done
for me. I was relieved to some extent
within 24 hours. Today my health ie
better than for five years, and so far
as I can tell, my kidney trouble has
disappeared.
“My wife, who had stomach troublo
for some time, tried the preparation
after noting its action in my case,
and her improvement is fully as mark
ed as mine. She how eats heartily
three times a day without any distress
whatsoever. Her nervousness has also
left her. I certainly believe this man’s
success is fully justified, as he un
doubtedly has a wonderful medicine.”
We will gladly describe the remark
able record made by the Cooper medi
cines to all who wish to know of them.

slush—time all feet should be better protected from

Protection to the feet means protection to the

than a pair of Peters’ waterproof shoes.
We’d he glad to show ou several patterns in
