That Counts
You don’t buy a wagon often,
and when you buy you want
one that will give you full val
ue for the money you invest.
The Birdsell Wagons
are the best made. They are
made for hard service and are
worth the money. Come and
look them over and get prices.

Arkansas, as second class mail matter
A MERE BVMP OF VANITY
Science has solved so many
great problems and unfolded to
the people so many great truths
that many of us conclude that
man knows about all that’s worth
knowing. As a rule we are skep
tical about additional accomplish
ments, and a great many of us re
fuse to beleive a thing that cannot
be proven.
Yet it is a fact that man as an
individual knows but very little,
and even collectivelyhisknovvledge
seems but a mere grain of sand
when it is remembered that he has
studied, labored and delved for
six thousand years in an effort to
gain knowledge.
When thought of in its proper
light, the .little knowledge that
man has should increase his rev
erence and humility, instead of so
enlarging his bump of vanity to
the point where he’s almost a bore,
as is often the case.
Individually, man knows but
little more than enough to feed
himself. Collectively, he is mak
ing progress, slowly, but surely,
and is gaining more rapidly as he
more fully understands the value
of co-operation.
It is true that, collectively, he
has made discoveries by which he
is now enabled to seemingly over
come the laws of gravitation and
fly through the air as if on the
wings of a bird. He can talk to a
friend across the continent, can
almost instantly communicate
with people on the opposite side of
the earth, and can gaze into the
heavens and feel as if he were
almost within speaking distance of
innumerable planets that per
chance are inhabited by other
beings not unlike himself. He can
! momentarily forge t his own weak
ness and imagine that man is a
most powerful and wonderful
force.
And yet he must admit that he
knows but little more about the
secret of his own life than does
the savage whose highest desires
are only to gratify his animal pas
sions and apetites.
This great secret in which all
mankind is profoundly interested
: is to be found upon every hand,
I and yet six thousand years of re-!
corded history has taught us no
more about it than we knew in
the beginning.
The splendid civilization we
now' enjoy pratically without ef- j
fort is the work of men who have1
not solved the mystery of their
own life, and who in reality,
know but little more about them
selves than does the ant.
Man knows absolutely nothing)
about where he came from, nor j
where he is going, and but little!
about his mission upon earth.
Yet we find men who are will
ing to claim that they understand
God, that great mysterious power
that brought man into being, and
besides knowing all His plans for
caring for man beyond the grave,
they know the road leading to
eternal bliss; tnd you must keep
to the right here, turn to the left
yonder, keep your feet wet (or
dry?) pluck no roses along the
way, etc.
Truly, some men are a wonder
ful little bump of vanity.
The Arkansas Issue, of Little j
Rock, the official paper of the Anti
Saloon League, pays Senator Ran
ey the following deserved compli-!
ment: “Senator T. J. Raney of j
Newark sent in a contribution of
$o0 to the state-wide campaign
fund. They havn’t got enough
boodlemoney to buy Raney’ vote.”
The Journal can also add that
Raney comes about as near being
consistent and right on all matters
affecting the public interests as
as any man who has ever been in
public life in Arkansas. Tom Ran
ey Is a level-headed fellow, and its !
a pity there are not more nke him !
in state politics.
HERALD SURPRISES ^0 OISE
The Newport Herald’s attack
upon Donaghey, elicited by recent
comment of The Journal, surprises
no one.
That paper has persistently and
relentlessly opposed everything
good, moral and elevating since its
very first issue, and has never
took up the fight for anything
commendable.
It has always been a negative j
force and a knocker of the very j
vilest sort.
It has always lined up with the |
liquor gang, the gamblers, and j
any and all other dements oppos-1
ed to law, order and decency.
It knocked the Confederate Re- j
union held in Little Rock last May;!
it has always knocked prohibition ;
of any form; it has knocked the |
churches; fought the Newport j
Law and Order League; engaged j
in a heated and disgraceful at- j
tack upon the ministers of the j
gospel who came to Newport last j
fall to hold a religious revival, and |
even defended tin-horn gambling i
from attacks made upon it from j
the pulpit. Its chief promoter en- j
joyed some very spicy notoriety as I
a result of an “episode” in which j
a “cullud lady” was playing a lead- j
ing role. It launched a “great!
voting contest,” which, for rotten
ness, would have made a red-hand
ed pirate blush, and which if
properly probed would probably
subject some one to criminal in
dictment.
Of course the Herald is against
Donaghey. Never, during it
whole rotten existence, has it ever
been known to be for anything
good, clean, elevating or helpful;
and it would be no greater sur
prise to see White river run up
stream than to see the Herald
espouse the cause of any man or
measure in line with right, justice
or progress.
The chief opposition to Dona
ghey comes from just such sources
as those influences that have dom
inated the career of the Herald.
Of course the Herald is against
Donaghey he’s not of the stripe
that appeals to that class of citi
zenship represented by the Herald.
Some of the newspapers in Ar
kansas profess that they do not
know who is meant by the “gang”
in our state politics. There are
none so blind as those who can
but will not see. — Paragould Soli
phone.
Be careful, old man, the Bates
ville Guard hasn’t yet learned wrho i
the “gang” is, and seeing things |
is where the Guard shines. Only 1
about a year ago the Guard
“opened" its eyes one day, “saw” a
great light, and immediately pub
lished a strong editorial in which
it declared that a blind tiger wras
worse than an open saloon. The
Guard and the “gang” agree on
that perfectly, no doubt—but of
course this has nothing to do with
why the word “gang” grates so
harshly upon the Guard’s nerves.
The Newport Democrat says
The Journal assaults the Kobinson
men as being lined up with the
whiskey interests. Nay, nay,
Pauline. We merely showed them
a picture of a prohi riding in a
whiskey man’s band wagon; and
when a few prohis saw themselves
as others see them, the picture
looked so bad they just imagined
they had been assaulted.

boy between 10 and 18 years of
age may join by sending his name
to T. M. Jefford, Old State House,

EASTERN ARKANSAS O. K.
The withdrawal of Norwood
from the race for governor has
had the effect of clearing the po
litical atmosphere in Eastern
Arkansas, and it is now an assur
ed fact that Gov. Donaghey will
carry this section of the state by
an overwhelming majority. The
governor is being openly indorsed
by all classes of citizens, and the
opposition has not yet been able
to develop enough strength to
create even a ripple upon the sur
face of the political waters.
George Donaghey is a power in
the public affairs of the great
state of Arkansas and is proving
himself to be a leader with the
initiative and the ability to hold
the confidence and loyalty of the
mighty Democratic hosts through
out the state.—Forrest Citv

A PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSIS OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal through
Neglect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tention.
More than two-thirds of the annual
leath rate, physicians claim, is directly
raceable to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
ion and desiring to acquire a better un
lerstatiding of the origin of the disease,
i prominent physician was recently in
erviewed as to the symptoms of such
.roubles.
“To what do you attribute the great
lestructiveness of kidney disease?” was
isked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
lie body before the victim becom ?s a ware
if his true condition, and the rapidity
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce of
prevention’ check the progress of the
lisease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
die symptoms for some trifling ailment
in the stomach or bowels; therefore they
lo nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?”
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
lowed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart -
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in urine.”
ITS EFFECT OX THE HEART.
“In what way is tile heart affected from
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturl>ed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially after
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease.”
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
I' irst, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
bie liver and stomach toned up and the
iigestion improved.”
1 rickly Ash Hitters is a remedy that
answers these requirements completely.
It is not only a system tonic and regu
lator, but its healing and restorative in
fluence will build up the weakened kid
neys and urge them to a better perform
ance of their duties. It gives strength
and tone to the liver, stomach and heart
and promotes harmony of action through
out the body.
M. W. Durr, village blacksmith and respected
citizen of Starks, I.H., says: -I was troubledwith
k"!ncy and l.ver disorder for 18 years. I was in
