The Journal is glad to see the

good move and we hope for its

that would produce good crops if
properly drained.
When Gov. Jas. P. Clarke ap
pointed liemmel as a member of
the State Charities Hoard a few
years ago, C. C. Kavanaugh com
' mended him for doing it and de
1 dared that is was nothing but
| right. Hut when Gov. Donaghey
appointed the same Remmel on
the same kind of a non-partisan
board whose duty is only to look
after a purely business matter,
Kavanaugh calls it an unpardon
able crime.
The widespread agitation against
the high price of meat has failed
to check the advance in the price
of hogs. At the stockyards in
Chicago last Monday the price of
hogs reached the highest point,
with one exception, since the Civil
War. The new high point record
ed was per hundred, on
foot, and predictions are freely
made that the price will go to ten
cents. This ought to be good
news to the farmers. Hut every
thing he raises is high, and if the
farmer is not prosperous it is his
own fault.
Business men of Branch have
found a new method of boosting
their town. They are organizing
an improvement company for the
purpose of buying large tracts of
land, which are to be platted intO|
lots and small farms and sold at
auction. The object is to induce
homeseekers to go to Branch and
invest in town lots or small farms
in Franklin county in the vicinity
of Branch. Nearly all the busi
ness men are taking ssock in the i
enterprise. This seems to be a i
good thing, and is a matter the !
people of Newark might take up I
with profit to the town.

of hay, 50 gallons of sorghum, |
fattened six hogs, made several

of fodder. He made nearly 80
bushels of corn to the acre. The
entire cost of making and gather- .
ing the crop, including cost Of fer- ,

THE MAN OF CONSCIENCE
Does Not Like to Sign Away His
Honor and Manhood
Rev. J. L. Brown, who is a can
didate for re-election as represen
tative from Independence county,
has balked squarley at the rule of
the central committee in that coun
ty which requires all candidates to
sign a pledge that they will support
all the nominees of the democratic
party before they can have their
names on the primary ballot. Rev.
Brown declares emphatically he
will not place his signature to such
an iron-clad agreement, and adds.
“I will pledge myself to vote the
whole democratic ticket unless
there are known grafters, boodlers
and drunkards on the ticket. If
there are, I will vote for all the
nominees except them.”
All those who have acquaintance
with Rev. James L. Brown, — and
he is known and has friends all
over North Arkansas country,—
know that he is a good and true
man, conscientious in his transac
tions with his fellowman and con
scientious in politics. He has a
conscience and he is unwilling to
violate its dictation for the plau
dits of those who swallow the tick
et if the act produces vomit,
The Record readily understands
that some restrictions must be
thrown around a democratic pri
mary to prevent the meddling of
those who have no sympathy
with the party or the ticket after
it is nominated. This paper has
no patience with these men who
participate in the democratic pri
maries and support the opposition
ticket in the general election, but
the question is not of a democrat
supporting a republican. Rev.
Brown does not say he would sup
port a republican in preference to
a democrat; he says he would not
give the sanction of his ballot to a
democratic nominee who is known
to be a grafter, boodler or drunk
ard. The question is, how does a
pledge from the candidates to sup
port the nominees protect a demo
cratic primary; what good does it
doi But the greater question is,
what is the man of conscience go
ing to do about it when he faces a
situation such as Rev. Brown per
haps thinks he may be called upon
to face:
We believe firmly that every
man who affiliates with the demo
cratic party is under obligations
to his party. We just as firmly
believe that the democratic party
is under an obligation to its mem
bers. The member should not
prove traitor or disloyal to his
party in times of need, but the
party should be obligated to the
member that none but clean, hon
jrable men will be found on the
ficket. No man should be requir
ed or expected to pollute his bal
ot. No man should do it.
Back to the question, what is
;he man of conscience going to do
ibout it when he faces a situation
such as Bev. Brown perhaps thinks
le may be called upon to face?
iVe put it up squareley to the
eader. If, when you go to cast
,-our ballot, you find thereon ti e
lame of a nominee whom you
vNOW to be dishonorable ar d
lisreputable, whom you KNOW
o be morally unfit to hold public
