FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, loot;
Are you reading Prof. J. II.
.Reynolds’ address on the “Rela
tion of Education to Production,”
mow running in The Journal? If
mot you are missing a treat.
It is said that Great Britian and
Ireland export every year about
twenty-five million dollars’ worth
of linen goods, of which one-half
is shipped to the United States.
The Journal feels like congratu
lating the Democratic county cen
tral committee upon the action tak
en at its meeting last Saturday in
regard to harmonizing the two
committees. There is now no rea
son why the two factions of the
party cannot get together on
common grounds, and we hope to
see them do so.
There is nothing to keep New
ark from doubling in population
within the next five years but a
lack of interest on the part of her
own people. We have the natural
location for a good town, so why
not take advantage of these natur
al opportunities, go to work and
build up the tow id
The Monroe County Citizen
very pertinently remarks that
thousands of dollars are sent out
of Arkansas every year for for
eign missions,while we have, right
in the shadows of many churches,
a generation of young heathen
growing up in ignorance of the
Gospel, and without the civilizing
influences of Christian teaching.
Keep in touch with the associa
tions of your boy. He sure you
know where he goes at night, or
better still, make home so attrac
tive that he will prefer to stay
there of evenings. Only recently
the father of a very promising
boy suffered the greatest humilia
tion of his life because of the
1 wrongs committed by the .youth
who had unconsciously drifted in
| to a career of crime. Tlie boy who
! is kept within confidential range
of his father or mother is not lia
ble to go astray.— Arkansas Dem
ocrat. __________
CLARKITS EXPLANATION.
Senator dames P. Clarke had an
article in Sunday’s Gazette cover
ing a little oxer two full pages, or
about fifteen columns, comprising
approximately 23,100 words, in
which he tries to explain the rail
road tax compromise. A man
ought to explain a good deal with
twenty-three thousand words, but
Senator Clarke talked all around,
over and under and at both ends
of the thing,and then never touch
ed the vital point.
The case can be summed up in
very few words. The railroads
were due the State $5Sti,000 in
taxes. They were permitted to
pay this with $330,000, or just
$‘250,0t>0 less than they were ac
tually due, and Senator Clarke got
a fee of $30,000 for bossing the
job.
We have always noticed that
when a man does so much talking
in trying to explain a simple thing
like that, there is usually “a bug
under the chip,’’and so far as The
.Journal is able to ascertain, Sena
tor Clarke’s “explanation” has
not explained anything at all.
It reminds one of the old say
ing: “Where there is so much
smoke, there is sure to be a little
tire. ”
