It is estimated that 50,000 peo
ple from Arkansas have visited
the St. Louis World’s Fair since
it opened last April. At *v’0 for
each person attending from the
state, and that is a very low esti
mate of the expense, the amount
spent by Arkansans in seeing the
fair is $1,500,000.

tin* farmers i—Monroe County
Sun. _______________
Benton county will have 22 ru
ral free delivery routes after l)e
cember 1, which is more than any
other county in Arkansas. 1 hese
rural mail routes are a great con
venience to the farmer and Thej
Journal would like to see a route |
established from Newark out to;
I ;ota, Cord and Charlotte. The;
first and greatest obstacle to over
come in securing the establishment
of a rural free delivery rolite C
good roads, and as the roads which
such a route would cover to the
points named are all good, there;
would be no difficulty in securing!
the establishment of such a route
ii our people would take the mat
ter up properly.
Tin* recent election has not dim
med the lustre of Hr.yun, and lie
is today the biggest and brainiest
Democrat in tie* United States.
President Roosevelt will visit
the W orld's Fiir tho latter part

the President oi die greatest na
tion on earth can t go around over

Die letter fro u t . A. Trauger
published it this issue of 'Him
Journal contains -erious charges
against some of the Independence
county oflieials, hut the | eople
will he slow to think seriously of
such charges coming from a man
wi h the reputation of Trauger.
But if he is innocent, as lie claims,
we hope his innocense may he es
tablished and his freedom and
honor restored.
The Poinsett (’ouity Teachers’
Institute, insets on at Harrisburg,
adopted the following declaration:
“(rod Almighty in His infinite
wisdow, created the two races as
far apart as black is from white,
and also differing as much in char
acter and principle as in color;that
any law which tries to bring them
together is utterly repugnant to
us and conflicts with the laws of
nature. And, as the negro is the
political enemy of the South, we
are not in favor of giving him a
“big stick’ with which to down us;
therefore, we are in favor of se
gregating the sciiool tax.”
A merchant in a neighboring
town states that his advertising
last year cost him 51 cents tor ev
ery S>100 wortii of goods sold lie
used a half page lor his business
announcement each week and says
that as long as people read news
papers he will advertise. There's
a man possessed of a good head,
piust as soon as merchants begin to
look upon advertising as a branch
of the business which requires as
much care as any part of it, then
will advertising pay. Honesty,
force, originality and persistency
in advertising make it a paying
investment.
THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The victory of Roosevelt in the ;
recent national election is of such
a character as to stagger the coun
try. I he Republicans themselves
are surprised at the enormity of
their victory. There is no use try
ing to account for it. In every
election one side wins and the oth
er losses.
There are a great many people
who would have preferred the de- j
feat of Roosevelt, but when we
tome right down to the plain facts
in the ease it is a matter of little j
concern to the ordinary individual
ns to who occupies the chief ex
ecutive’s chair.
\\ e do not derive the comforts
of home and the pleasures of li e
from the man who happen* to be
in the White House. He, does
not control the sunshine and rain,
nor lix the price of our cotton and
corn, or our bacon and beans.
He furnishes no work for the
“man with the hoe,” nor dispens
es none of the needful ‘long
green ! to the unfortunate cuss
who mis strained his credit with
tin* local merchant and finds that
| he has bought more than he can
pay for.
On the contrary, the man who
rises before day and hustles from
early mom todewe.x eve can enjoy
tin* usual privileges, wear about
the same clothes that he customar
il.\ wears, eat his three meals a
day and greet hi' friends in the!
same old sweet way. There will
be no diminution in marriage or
giving in marriage, and a kiss
from your spouse or your best
g;rl will be just a' sweet as it ev ;
er was.
\\ h.\. th<*n, should we worry
over the result of the election?
The country has lived under Re
publican ink*, with the exception
of eight ,\ ears, ever since 18*>0.
I lie Republicans seem to stand it
very well and we believe we can
stand an vl bin«r ti I *t.I;...
