The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY

Arkansas, as second class mail matter

The Journal realizes that it is
far easier to offer suggestions than
it is to do things. Hut without
suggestions, agitation and criti
cism, little advancement is made
in matters of a public nature.
When agitation ceases, stagnation
and retrogression usually ‘begin,
and if there is anything under the
sun that should be repugnant to the
present-day American citizen with
red blood in his veins, it is stag
nation.
But to get down to our sugges
tion, The Journal wants the peo
ple of Independence and Jackson
counties to get together and build
a good pike road from Newport to
Batesville.
Now some people will probably
criticise us and say this is in the
interest of the automobile owners.
It is, to this extent: A lirst class
road is a mighty good thing for
the automobile owner. Nobody
will deny this. But it must also
be admitted that a good auto road
is also a mighty good wagon road
and is equally as good for buggies
and horsemen. In fact, we know
of but few public improvements
that are better investments to a
community than good roads, and
the man who becomes lukewarm
on the good roads, quest ion because
good roads contribute to the pleas
ure of automobile owners, is indeed
a very short-sighted individual. |
Our idea is to build a road above
high water mark, or as nearly so
as possible, and we believe we
have it, as follows.
Beginning at the lake bridge in
Newport, thence toward the old
fair ground, and turning west by
Walnut Grove cemetery and con
tinuing westward by way of Diaz
to Fitzgerald. This far there is
already a pretty fair road. Then,
beginning at Fitzgerald, establish
a new road westward parallel with
the railroad to Paroquet, putting
in a ferry at Paroquet. Only
about four miles of new road
would have to be built, and at
Paroquet the new road would in
tersect the present road to New
ark, and from here to Batesville
follow the route worked last sum
mer by popular subscription.
This would make a road some
thirty-live miles in length, and
traversing a route that, after once
being put in good condition, could
easily be kept up, as less than two
miles of the route is subject to
overflow, even during the highest
stages of the river.
Let’s hear from the county
judges, the newspapers, road over
seers and the public spirited citi
zens of the two counties on the
subject. _
Illinois has a law requiring the ,
publication of all tax assessments.!
We wonder if it would not show
up many inconsistencies if the spot
light of publicity were turned on
the assessments in Independence,
county? _
The national House of Repre
sentatives has more than four times
as many members as the Senate,
but in the present Congress the
Senate has more than half as many!

Hon. Gustave Jones of Newport
announces his withdrawal from
the race for attorney general. Mr.
Jones is an able lawyer and a clean,
upright, honorable gentleman, and
has many friends throughout the
state who will sincerely regret his
withdrawal, believing that he had
a good chance to win, and that he
would have made the State an ex
cellent official.
The people of Newark should
by all means arrange to hold an
other two-days picnic here this
summer. The picnic given here
last summer was perhaps the most
enjoyable event of the kind ever
held in the county, and was a suc
cess in every particular. Let’s
have another this summer, bigger
and better than ever.
Machinery has been purchased
for the installation of an electric
light plant in Cotter. Why can’t
we have electric lights in Newark?
This town is larger than Cotter
and fully as able to afford lights.
The Journal believes a light
plant here would be a paying in
vestment.
