The best way for people to keei
their meanness out of the paper
is not to be guilty of things they
don’t want in the papers.
Governor Hughes of New Yorl
recently remarked that “Oui
country is safe so long as oui
schools are full.” And there is i
good deal more in that remark
than you can grasp at first thought
A Texas man is reported to have
raised a lemon as large as a quail
cup. We rather suspect that the
gentleman could get a good price
for that lemon now if he had il
over about the state house ir
Little Rock.
One of the canning factories at
Fayetteville employed 150 persons
during the month of August, can
«>ing 5,000 to 0,000 cans of peaches
a day. Newark is loosing hun
dreds and hundreds of dollars
every year by not having a can
ning factory.
It would indeed be a relief tc
find some candidate for governor
who could get above the petty
policies and personal platforms ot
the demagogue, and make a man
ful light for the upbuilding and
development of Arkansas, materi
ally’, commercially, industrially,
morally’ and educationally.
If the state officials who ar£
threatening to hold up the school
funds and the Confederate pen
sion funds, do not do something
to relieve the situation, they are
going to tied themselves with a
great big row on their hands one
of these days. As far as the state
capitol it concerned, the people
care but little about ti,but when it
come to shutting off the funds due
the school children and old Johnnie
Rob, it affects two classes that are
very' near the hearts of the people
| and, if somebody is not very care
ful, they are going to find that
they have uncovered more snakes
than they can kill.
There seems to be a disposition
j on the part of State Secretary Hen.
, L. Griffin to swing the Farmers
■ Union into line for Geo. W. Don
aghey for governor. Hut The
r Journal has too much faith in the
j good judgment of the farmers to
believe that they are going into
, politics to the extent of indorsing
any man for a political position.
The following estimate is taken
! from a general repoit of estimates
of the United States department
of commerce and labor. The esti
mate of the true property value of
Arkansas was: In 1850, $39,841,
025; in 1870, $156,394,691; 1890.
$435,852,255; in 1900, $604,218,
’ 211; in 1904, $803,907,972. Thus,
> figuring on the same ratio of in
* crease in valuation, 1907 would
place Arkansas above the billion
dollar mark.

A MOST TOUCHING APPEAL
falls short of its desired effect if ad
dressed to a small crowd of interested
listeners. Mr. Business Man, are
vou wasting vour ammunition on the
small crowd that would trade with
you anyway, or do vou want to reach
those who are not particularly inter
ested in vour business? If you do,
make your appeal for trade to the
largest and most intelligent
audience in your commun
ity, the readers of this
paper. They have count
less wants. Your ads will
be read by them, and they
will become vour custom
ers. Try it and see.

'following1 high compliment to John
| Wesley, the founder of the Metho
dist church:
“O, what a debt the world owes
to John Wesley! If ever there
was a saint who walked this earth,
it was John Wesley. He never
put down a track but that the
flames of glory and life followed
that track.”
Then, speaking of the Metho
dist ministery, he said:
‘ One of the most heroic chapt
ers which will some day be written
will be to the honor and memory
of the Methodist ministery.”
It is a deplorable fact that there
are today too many people in all
the churches who are so small
| that they cannot see any good in
j any church outside of their own.
Such people may be good people,
but its our opinion that they are
j just a little short on good common
I sense. A sensible, well-balanced
I man recognizes good wherever he
;sees it, and is always ready to give
• honor where honor is due, but
j there are so many people who can
I not do this, that it is refreshing
| to occasionally find a man with the
j open, honest sincerity of the Rev.
i Dr. Truitt.
