FRIDAY, .JUNE 8, 190ti
Ex Senator David L. King of
Sharp county is being favorably
mentioned as a probable candidate
for congress from this district in
r. m. _
From the Cotter Courier we
learn that over three hundred
town lots in that place will be sold
for taxes. And Cotter is such a
good town, toe!
What about a Fourth of July
celebration for Newark? Other
towns all over the country are
making preparations to celebrate
tbe nation’s birthday, and Newark
should not lag behind.
Few Republican nominees for
governor of Arkansas have con
fronted conditions so discouraging
as the political condition which
now confronts Judge Worthing
ton, the present nominee. lie
will find the Democracy united
and enthusiastic for a nominee
against whom no charges of cor
ruption can be brought and whose
vote getting qualities have been
frequently tested and found in
vincible.
In the platform adopted by the
Republicans at their recent state
convention we find the following
clause: “We believe it. unwise
and unbusiness like to retain in the
insecure vaults of the capital such
vast sums of money as it is as
serted are there.” Why certainly
—everybody knows that. The
| fact that there was only 74 cents
| in the “insecure vaults of the cap
i ital” when the Republicans were
turned out of. power is sufficient
! evidence of that fact. There's np |
I need to reiterate it—the people 1
i will not forget it.
' There is no doubt but what
Judge John I Worthington is the
' best man the Republicans have
i nominated for governor in many
I years, but he has not even a shad
! ow of a chance of being elected.
The Democratic party is more
j strongly united now than it has
j been in several years. The full
| vote of the party will likely be
polled in the coming election, and
(iovernor Little will lead the tick
et—something a Democratic can JI
date for governor has not done for
several years.
Agricultural products arc now
making their highest record in the
! exportations of the United States,
and should the present rate con
tinue during the remainder of the
fiscal year the total exportation of
such products, will in 1906 for
the first time cross the billion doi
I lar line. _____________
The .Journal heartily endorses
tin* views expressed by a Farmer
i
in thi' issue on a cotton warehouse.
This is a very important matter
and steps should be taken at once
to secure the erection of a ware
house in time for u**e the coming
1 season. _

TEDD V’S EXTRAVAGANCE
According to official reports
submitted to Congress containing
the estimates for expenses at the
White House for the ensuing fis
cal year, The Journal notices that
the expenses at the executive man
sion have almost doubled under
the Roosevelt administration.
The otlice of secretary to the!
president will cost $60,1510 for the \
fiscal year of 1007, as against $44,
U50 in 11*00 and $115,200 in lsyt>. j
The contingent expensss fund has j
been increased from $12,000, as it j,
was under the McKinley and
Cleveland administrations to $-20,
000 a year. There has been a 100
per cent insrease in the item of
fuel for the mansion greenhouse ■
and stable. This now costs $0,000
a year, which has heretofore cost
only $11,000 a year.
Under the head of improve- |
ments and maintenance of the
Executive Mansion grounds, an
even greater increase is shown.
Heretofore the appropriation for
this purpose has always been $1,
000 a year, but the present ap
propriation for that purpose is $4,
1000.
“For ordinary care and furnish
ing of the Executive Mansion,”
the estimate calls for $35,000.
This is an increase of $10,0€foover
the last Democratic administra
tion. which was thought very ex
travagant.
ou u win utJ smi inline oam
must dig down in his jeans and
fork over $131,340 for Teddy’s
expenses for the next year, not
including his salary of $50,000,
which, when added to his living
expenses, makes a total of $1*1,
340, or more than $497 a day.
The new vinegar factory at Rog
ers has shipped to the markets of
the world 16 ears of vinegar since
January 1, showing that the by
product of the fruit of that region
has a commercial value of no
small importance.
Washington and Benton coun
ties are being overrun with rats,
which are said to be killing chick
ens and other fowls by the hun
dreds.
The state good roads conven
, tion will be held at Fort Smith
| June 14th to 16th.
