A Newspaper With A
Rubber Conscience
The Arkansas Gazette pro
fesses to be a strong champion
of statewide prohibition for
Arkansas, and yet for a few
dollars the Gazette sells space .
in that paper to the Liquor Or
ganization to publish mislead
ing and untrue statements con
cerning Act No. 2 which the li
quor men initiated for no oth
er purpose than to repeal the
state-wide prohibition law and
put saloons back in Arkansas.
Last Sunday’s issue of the
Gazette carried a whole page
advertisement for Act No. 2
which contained many false j
and misleading statements, cal
culated to more than counter
act any sentiment the Gazette
might have created against the
bill.
The Gazette’s editorial ar
ticles against Act No. 2 were a
good, and were true, but in the ()
same issue of the paper in ,
which it makesthese arguments v
it sells an entire page of space y
to a liquor organization for the j
publication of an advertise- j
ment containing many state- j
ments which the Gazette knew
were entirely false and mis
leading.

discussion of both sides of any
public question is perfectly fair
and legitimate and is always
to be desired. But the liquor
question involves a moral issue;
and from a standpoint of right,
the sale of liquor cannot be
logically defended.
A newspaper with a con
fer any question involving a
moral issue, and then for the
sake of a few dollars sell whole
pages of space for the publica
tion of false and misleading
advertisements seeking to over
throw the very thing that it
professes to stand for.
But the Gazette has about as
much conscience as a snake,
and the sound of coin in the
Gazette’s cash register is the
one convincing argument that
cannot be answered, so far as
that paper is concerned.

the checks are always easily

After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting lettei
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullocl
writes as follows: “1 guttered tor fou
years, with womanly troubles, and durinj
this time, 1 could only sit up for a littl
while, and could not walk anywhere a
all. At times, 1 would have severe pain
la my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I wa
soon confined to my bed again. Afte
that, nothing seemed to do me any good
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very firs!
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
I troubles, don’t give up In despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui tor years. He knows what
. It wW do. Ask him. Ha wUl recom

SEEKS TO DEVELOP
WHITE RIVER COUNTRY
Wonderful Possibilities of This
Section to the Brought to
Attention of Government
A. A. Webber of Batesville,
I secretary of the White River
Development Association, is
'gathering statistics on the ac
tual tonnage shipped from the
upper White river section, ;ind
prospective tonnage that can
be developed, to present to the
engineers of the war depart
ment. who will make a resur
vev of the White river shortly
; U< tab'1''
, of completing the system of
. locks and dams in the river
that was started over a decade
ago.
Mr. Webber states data al
ready gathered by him shows
the tonnage has practically
doubled during the past two
years, owing to the develop
ment of the mineral, stone and
other resources, and that the
prospective tonnage that would
be developed upon the com
pletion of the lock and dam
system is incalculable. The
stone resources, which consists
of limestone, marble and glass
sand, are almost incomprehen
sible. Every bluff that rises
above the river is susceptible
to development,containing mil
lions of tons of commercial
stone.
The zinc field, which covers
a large area of the upper coun
try, has hardly been scratched,
and there are vast bodies of
manganese.
Mr. Webber expects a favor
able report when the survey is
completed.

CHAIRITIES BOARD IS
SUSTAINED BY COURT
Dr. Bledsoe Loses As Superin
tendent State Hospital in
the Supreme Court
Little Rock, Nov. 6.—The
Arkansas supreme court, today
sustained the action of the
state charitable board in re
moving I)r. E. P. Bledsoe, su
erintendent of the State Hospi
tal for Nervous Diseases. The
position, it is said, will again
.he tendered to Dr. J. L. Greene
form t superintendent of the
institution.
The court, in the opinion
handed down held that the
suit brought by Dr. Bledsoe
was not an action against the
state, but against the board, an
agency created by the state. It
also held that the board, in act
ing in the Bledsoe controversy
acted as a quasi judicial tri
bunal.
“Much of the testimony,”
said the court’s decision, “is to
the effect that Dr. Bledsoe’s
conduct toward attendants, if
not actually uncivil and dis
courteous, manifested indiffer
ence or unwillingness to get ac
quainted with his subordinates.
“Dr Bledsoe, in his tesimony
gives an account of his manage
ment of the institution which
is very satisfactory, if his ver
sion of the matter is accepted
as true, and he is corroborated
in all esseniial details by other
testimony; but it cannot be
said that the undisputed evi
dence shows that there is no
foundation for charges made
against him.
“We are not called on pri
marily to decide whether the
decision of the board was cor
rect. The lawmakers have plac
ed that authority in the hands
o.f the board of control, and it
would be a clear encroachment
by the courts upon the author
ity of another department of
government to undertake to
substitute the judgment of the
judges for that of the members
of the tribunal vested with au
thority to manage the institu
tions of the state and to appoint
| and remove those who are
I his being true, it becomes
the duty of the court,upon well
founded principles of law, to
leave undisturbed the action
of the tribunal especially creat
ed by the lawmakers to pass
upon those questions. Any oth
er view would make the board
of control a mere conduit
through which a decision on
the removal of an unfaithful
of inefficient superintendent
would be passed up to the
courts, instead of having the
matter where the lawmakers
have placed it—in the hands
of the board.

TRAPPING WILL BE
PROFITABLE THIS WINTER
Does the average farmer
stop to consider the thousands
and even millions of dollars
that are paid out every year
by the large Fur Houses for
the skins of the “farm yard
pest”? The Mink, a menance
to the chicken coop, the
Skunk, Muskrat, Weasel and
oth v fur-bearing animals,
classed as “varmints” and con
sidered a nuisance to the crops
all have their intrinsic value
and it would be well for many
to forget the nuisance end ot
the story and look at the profit
side, says A. B. Shubert, Presi

the world dealing exclusively
in American raw furs.

would make a great many peo
ple sit up and take notice.
When the European war com
menced raw furs went on the
downward turn and it was just
two years ago that it was hard
ly worth while to skin these
small fur-bearers and ship
their fur, but since the surplus
carried over from the raw fur
season of 1913-14 has been
consumed and the supply and
collections of 1914-15 and
1915-16 have also been con
sumed, the supply at the pres
ent time equals the demand
and consequently with the pos
sible exception of Mink, prices
have gone upward and trap
ping today is a mighty profit
able occupation.
The golden opportunity of
the farmer boy to pick up a
neat pile of money in his spare
time this winter should pot be
overlooked and the exercising
of a little “common horse
sense” in handling and stretch
ing will go a long ways to
wards determining the amount
of his earnings.

Is Not All That Good
ADVERTISING
ACCOMPLISHES
• If an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
ships he must keep in touch with his friends. As Dr.
Johnson puts it, we must keep our friendships in const
ant repair.”
It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes he tells them of special op
portunities he has created through which they may
save money in needed purchases. These advertisements
of “special sales” may usually be relied upon to stimu
late business—to make quick turnovers of stocks which
have accumulated.
But the store’s advertising does more than to ac
complish clearance^, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cements store-friend
ships. The slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
understood. The man or the woman who may have de
cided that, for some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer their trading to some other store, be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
vertisements of the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the means of holding waver
ing friendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant—and more important than the immediate sale.
