JUDGE THARP’S DEFENSE
The Journal publishes an article
from Squire J. T. Tharp this week
in which he insinuates that he has
not been accorded fair treatment
from this paper with regard to the
dismissal of a certain case in his
court some time ago. If the
learned judge will properly ad just
tiis spectacles and read an article
on the first page of The Journal
of February 1, under the head of
“The Way It Was,” signed by J.
R. Alexander, who was one of the
attorneys in this case, he will find
that Mr. Alexander told in about
ten lines practically the same thing
that he has told in a column and a1
half.
The Journal thought this state
ment from Mr. Alexander was
sufficient explanation of the mat
ter.
Did Squire lnarp think Jhe
Journal should publish some long
winded explanation in box car let
ters and keep it running in the
paper two or three weeksi
We are always ready and will
ing to publish an article from any
one upon any subject of public in
terest, therefore we cheerfully
publish Squire Tharp’s article, as
Sie says that he wants the public
to know the facts in the case, and
.seems to think they have not all
lieen told.
The .Journal would like to sug
gest, too, while we are on the sub
ject of facts, that .Judge Tharp
might give the public the facts as
to why he kept his olhce in a blind
I
tiger den for the past two years.
It is a well known fact that he has
done this, and it has been the sub
ject of comment by a great many
people.
Now, as the judge seems to be
pretty good at getting up long
winded explanations, The Journal
cordially invites him to do another ;
stunt along the same line.
It has been charged that the Japs
are flirting with the Philippine Is
lands. It'might be a good thing i
for Uncle Sam if the flirtation
■should end in a successful elope
ment. The old gentleman has ac-;
quired too many of these motley
iirats. _
The New York Sun says that
when Bob Taylor and Jeff Davis
join Mr. Tillman’s company the
senate ought to be sure of a long
and successful season of refined
vaudeville.
Over a million immigrants came
to the United States during the
year of 1906.
Got a Cold?
The average person
can safely count on
havingacold this time
of year, sooner or lat
er. Everyone has his
choice of cough syrup,
but more people are
using W h i t e Pine
Cough Syrup with Tar
than anything else,
because it stops the
cough, cures the cold
and heals the lungs.
Try a bottle. Price

or your money back. }

FOR FAIRPLAY.
It was plainly evident from the
trend of Mayor Arnold’s remarks
at the mass meeting Monday night
that he feels a little “sore’ to
ward The Journal. Personally,
we have always considered Judge
Arnold as our friend, and we do
not believe there is a man in New
ark who will say that we have not
been Judge Arnold’s friend. And
if The Journal has misrepresented
Mayor Arnold in any manner dur
ing the present anti tiger tight, we
have done so through ignorance.
It is not our policy or desire to
misrepresent any man. be he
friend or foe, and if we do so, we
are always ready and willing to
accord him the courtesy of our
columns for any statement he de
sires to make to the public.
We have assured Mayor Arnold
privately on more than one oc
casion that The Journal would
publish any statement he desired
to make, but we have been in
formed that he has intimated
that he does not believe we would
do so.
We want to assure him publicly
that he need have no fears of our
denying him the use of our col
umns, and if he wants to wade in
and “chew up” The Journal, we
will “stand up and take our medi
cine like a man.”
It has been openly charged that
there is bundling in the present
legislature and the house passed a
resolution providing for the in
vestigation of the charges, but the
senate killed the resolution. Is
the senate afraid of investigation?
The Arkansas legislature is dif
ferent in at least one respect from
many others now in session.
There has been no bill introduced
to tax bachelors.

mud, water or snow, and keep the feet
dry. They cost a trifle more than the
spongy sort, but you’ll find it pays in
the end to get Peters Diamond Brand
Shoes. Try a pair of them.
