FRIDAY, FEBRUARY I*, loot;
A Mr. Hubert, cashier of the
Hank of Greenwood, has been in
Newark this week in the interest
of Judge Little's candidacy for
governor. Verily, Hob Rogers is
up against a combinatin. He has i
the governor, an ex-congressman,
a banker, a sheriff and the pee-wee
(editor of the Monte Ne Herald af
ter him. Hut Hob has the voters
on his --ide and the voters are
“sum punkins’’ in an election.
The Monte Ne Ileiaid is wild
with delight. It has been trying
for months to unearth some bloody
crime in which Hob Rogers was
the prncipal, and has at last suc
ceeded. Horror ofhorros! Now
summon your courage and listen:
J>ob Rogers was fined in the may
or’s court at Van Buren about five
years ago for profanity, dust
think about it. 1 It* actually swore,
was arraigned before the mayor,
pleaded guilty and was fined £f>!
And yet, the Herald says, this man
is asking the people of this state to
make him governor ( Awful, isn’t
it? The Journal hopes somebody
will pick up courage enough to go
upand make an inspection of the
! good brother’s wings and see if
j they are on straight.
.
Speaking of gall, the editor of
the Monte Ne Herald deserves a
place at the head of the class, and
The Journal will head the list with
thirty cents toward raising a fund
to buy him a medal of solid brass
providing one of suitable dimen
sions can be procured. Separated
from their gall a hundred such in
dividuals as he, could play hide and
seek on the surface of a penny for
a lifetime and never find each other.
The Beebe News sarcastically
remarks that “Bob Rogers con
tinues to ‘chew the rag' over that
tax settlement. " Yes, and The
Journal can add that the effectual
manner in which Bob is “chewing
the rag" over this matter is very
disgusting to the News, because
Bob is showing up the News’ pat
ron saint in a manner that touches
the News man in a tender spot.
So long as the News man’s idol is
allowed to do all the talking its
all right, but those on the other
side of the question must say noth
ing. Thats fairness with a veng
eance.
LET T1IK CANDIDATES
DECIDE.
We notice there are still some
indications of a bouble-barrelled
primary in this county, and The
Journual btdieves that if the two
I
committees cannot get together on
; some kind of a compromise, the
county candidates should hold a
meeting and decide the matter.
It is a common occurrenc for a
man to decide where he wants to
be buried when lie dies, and as the
i candidates are the men who art*
soon to meet their political doom, it
would be no more than right for
them to decide in which of these
Democratic graveyards they want
to be buried.
They could have a meeting for
the purpose of deciding the ques
tion, and agree to accept a majori
ty vote as to which of the pri
maries they would submit them
selves to. Then take a secret
ballot on the question and the thing
is settled. The defeated committee
would have no funds to hold a pri
mary and no condidates.
This would be a fair way to set
tle the matter, and The Journal
believes the Democrats of the
county would endorse the action
of the candidates in doing so.
THE GAZETTE CONFESSES.
The Arkansas Gazette has tinal
ly admitted that The Journal was
right in regard to the railroad
tax settlement. However, it fails
I to answer the question pro
pounded by The Journal, and
only replies by saying that “The
Journal's simple little question U
really a compound big question.”
But notice this from the Gazette:
“Attorney General Rogers can
still sue for those deducted taxes
and make the railroads pay every
penny of them if the courts de
cide that the higher assesments
were valid. If Senator Clarke and
I his fellow compromisers made a
J mistake they did not make an ir
; reparable mistake, and the attor
ney general is the man to do the
repair work. Why doesn’t he do
it—why didn’t he bring the neees
! sary suits many months ago?"
The editor of the Gazette will
probably admit that it is not too
late to bring suit, and if he reads
the news columns of his own pa
per he will perhaps remember a
statement contained therein only
a few days ago to the etiect that
Attorney General Rogers declared
in a public speech that he intended
to institute suit against the rail
roads for the collo dion of the full
amount of these taxes.
So we have the Gazette’s word
for it that the attorney general can
yet sue for and perhaps collect
these taxes, and the attorney gen
eral's word for it that he intends
to do so. What more could we
ask i

living near Mansfield .was crushed
to death Tuesday while riding on
a see-saw.
