A little power is a dangerous tiling
in the hands of some men.
No complaint is .ever made about
short measure when one has a peck of
trouble.
Don’t worry about your looks,
says an exchange, you look all right
to your friends and the rest of the
world doesn’t care how you look.
If there is such a thing as “nobility”
in America, it is that which follows
the plow anti turns up God’s good soil
for the maintenance of the people
whom Me created.
Some people claim that there was
once a period of six years in the his
tory or Arkansas that the state virtual
ly had no governor: hut she is certain
ly making up for it now. The state
lias hud five different governors in the
last sixteen months.

CALL FOR MASS MEETING
Acting Governor Hamiter having called a special session of the
Arkansas Legislature to convene in Little Rock on Monday, May 18,
1908, therefore all citizens who do or do not favor this action on the
part of Acting Governor Hamiter are requested to meet at the Ratton
Hall in Newark at 8 o’clock p. m., Friday, May 15, 1908, for the pur-|
pose of expressing their sentiments as citizens and taxpayers in re
gard to the same. R. R. Ratton, Mayor.
In the last eight years the three
jrreat iron countries have produced
310,300,000 tons of piy iron, of which
over half has come out of the T’nited
States.
An Arkansas man has just inherited
$150 from a maiden aunt in South
Carolina. Thus do the ranks of the
dangerous rich increase in the realm of
Jeff Davis.—Houston Daily.
Somebody has truthfully said that
‘■The habit of wishing everybody well,
of feeling like giving everybody a
Godspeed, ennobles and beautifies the
character wonderfully, magnifies our
ability, and multiplies our mental
power.” _
It is now. Governor Hamiter, Gover
nor Pindall having left the state last
Friday to attend two national confer
ences at Washington, and Allen H.
Hamiter, speaker of the house of Rep
resentatives, being next in line for the
governorship in case of a vacancy, is
now governor of Arkansas.
The men and women who try to make
their home the most interesting spot
on earth for each other, and for their
friends and those who are near and
dear to them, have but occasional use
for the club. It is to them like the
theatre, a pleasant place to enter now
and then, hut not a spot to dwell in.
“Who is this man l’indall that pro
poses to revoke an action of the act
ing governor of Arkansas?" ask>
Attorney General Kirby. Why, Bill,
don't you remember him? He's de
same guy wot you swiped de office
from you got now, an' wot helped
Jawge Donaghev give you de black
eye wot youse got on.
Heaven help the man who imagines
he can dodge enemies by trying to
please everybody! If such an individ
ual ever succeeds, pass him over this
way that we may have one look at his
mortal remains ere he vanishes away,
for surely this earth cannot be his ab
iding place. Now we do not infer that
one should go through this world try
ing to iind beams to knock and thump
his head against, disputing every
man's opinion, fighting and elbowing
and crowding all who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme.
Other people have their opinions, so
have you. Don't fall into the error
of supposing they will respect you
more for turning your coat every day.
to match the color of theirs. Wear
your own clothes in spite of wind and
weather, storms and sunshine, ft costs
the irresolute ten times the trouble to |
wind, and shuffle, and twist than it
does the honest, manly, indenpendent
man to stand up and be his own man.
It seems that the only'power to re
buke Hamiter is in the legislature. If
the members should meet and immedi
ately adjourn Mr. Hamiter would
doubtless feel like thirty cents.
A prominent public man recently
called attention to the vast extent of
the life insurance business in this
country, by comparing it with the
banking business. The*6,544 national
and 11.852 state, private and savings
banks and trust companies have an
aggregate capital and surplus of
$.1,000,000,000, and deposits of $13,000,
000,000. Ninety-three insurance com
panies had admitted assets of over
$3,000,000,000 and insurance in force
amounting to $14,000,000,000.
You never knew a man to be success
ful who was always talking about
business being bad. Never allow your
self to dwell on the dark side of any
thing. Your should refuse to talk
about depressed markets or hard
times. Learn to talk up, not down.
Many business men become chronic
grumblers and faultfinders. Times
are always hard with them. Other
men get into a pessimistic rut, and
never see brightness or success in any
thing. It is impossible for such peo
ple to prosper. Success is a delicate
plant, requiring encouragement and
sunshine to develop into full fruition.
If you don't just like everything you
see in your home paper, go around the
street and howl. The editor is never
supposed to make a mistake and of
course cannot do so. Other people
can, but the editor is ubiquitous,
omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent,
“omniverous. ” If you can’t see a
good point, don’t fail to see a bad one.
If a thousand pleasant things are said
of people, hunt for something unpleas
ant. If you don’t find it, howl some
more: if you do howl anyway. Never
mind your own business: watch for
something to find fault with in some
other man's business: this will make
you great._
The ser.vices of the county editor to
the local community are not appreci
ated by the community that he serves
l>est. The local newspaper is expected
to do more for the community than
any other influence in it, and it gets
less for what it does. Hut for the past
ten or fifteen years the position of the
country y^itor has been improved as
a growing recognition pf his ser
vices. The newspaper is essen
tial to progress, and all classes are
ready to give it better support than
heretofore. With the growth of the
country, with its improved material
conditions, the newspaper improves
and the position of the country editor j
and the country paper reaches a more
independent position. —Home and
Farm.
AN OFFICIAL BLUNDER
It is The Journal's candid opinion
that Acting Governor Ilamiter’s call
for a special session of the legislature
i> one of the worst official blunders
made in Arkansas in many years.
The legislature costs the taxpayers
of Arkansas over a thousand dollars
a day for each day it is in session.
There is not sufficient money in the
general revenue fund in the state
treasury to defray the expenses of a j
ten day s session of the legislature.
It is less than eight months until the
regular session of the legislature con
venes. No emergency has arisen de
manding immediate attention, and yet
the already overburdened taxpayers
of the state are required to shell down
at least a cool twenty thousand dol
lars for a s]>ecial session of the legis
lature merely to satisfy the whim of a
backwoods lawyer intoxicated with
power because of the fact that an act 1 j
dent has placed him in the governor’s
chair for a few days.
A $25,000 public school building is
is course of construction at Paragould
and will be completed in time for the
autumn owning of school. \
HEARTILY ENDORSE
COOPER REMEDIES
Dealer and Patient at Hallowed, Maine, Make
Statements Under Oath
In connection with the intense in
terest manifested by the public at
large in the theory of L, T. Cooper
as to the human stomach being the
source of nearly all ill health, the
statements of Mr. W. D. Spaulding,
of Hallowell, Me., one of the oldest
and best-known druggists in that state,
and of Mrs. Frederick Harvey, a well
known nurse living in the same place,
will be interesting to thousands of
persons who are today suffering from
ailments directly traceable to the
stomach. The fact that these state
| ments are made voluntarily, under
oath, removes all element of doubt.
The statements follow:
“Hallowell, Maine, July 20, 1907.
“To the Cooper Medicine Co.,
“Dayton, Ohio.
“Gentlemen—The policy at Spauld
ing’s drug store is to gain the per
fect confidence of the public by never
recommending any medicine or treat
ment until its virtues have been fully
established. The Cooper Remedies
were to us an unknown quality, we
were very skeptical of their medicinal
value, and it was not until several of
our customers had received such bene
ficial results from their use that we
could no longer doubt their value that
we consented to take the agency for
the Cooper Remedies in this territory,
heartily endorsing the same.
“Herewith we give the testimonial
of a lady whose case came under our
personal observation from her being
a regular customer, and she says: —
•“Gentlemen of the Cooper Medicine
Co., Dayton Ohio: It is with pleasure
I recommend your New Discovery
medicine, of •which I have taken the
contents of three bottles, and can to
day eat anythin? without inconven
ience to myself. For a number of years
I had suffered intensely with severe
headaches, sour stomach, indigestion,
pains in my side, and complications
which made it exceedingly hard for
me to accomplish even my household
work. Physicians had given me doz
ens of prescriptions, which failed to
accomplish a cure or even relief. Your
New Discovery medicine advertisement
attracted my attention, and 1 purchas
ed a bottle of the medicine, which I
took according to directions and before
it was half gone, I felt very much bet
ter; when I had taken the contents
of two bottles I gained courage to eat
many things which for years I had
denied myself, and found they caused
me no ill effects. Today, after having
used three bottles of the New' Discov
ery, I can eat anything and feel that
I am a well woman once more, and
therefore would advise anyone to take
Cooper’s New Discovery, for I feel
sure it will curb them.’—Mrs. Fred*
erick Harvey, Hallowell, Me.
“We endorse the above testimonial,
under oath, as being correct.
“W. D. Spaulding.
“Testimony before me under oath thl»
22nd day of July, 1907.
“Geo. A. Safford,
(seal.) “Notary Public.**
The Cooper remedies have proven
eminently satisfactory wherever in
troduced. We will be pleased to ex
plain their nature to anyone wishing
to know about them,' We are agents.
