PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craio, Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
Rather strange that Teddy
never discovered the rottenness
of the Republican party until
after he had been pancaked by
the steam roller.
Arkansas has had few elections
of more importance than the one
to be held on the 9th of September,
and every good citizen should go
to the polls and express his senti
ments.
Roosevelt does not want any
negro voters in the “Bull Moose”
party at this time. He may admit
them later provided they will come
in through the back gate and take
off their hats.
Every Democrat should contrib
ute something to defray expenses
of the Democratic campaign. No
money will be accepted from cor
porations. Bring in or mail your
dollar to The Journal office.
After sixty days of horning,
such as the Roosevelt bull moose
has been giving the elephant re
cently, the old animal’s hide will
not be worth saving after its de
mise on the 5th of November.
Back in the old days of Jerry
Simpson Populism there was a
cry for a paternal form of govern
ment, but things have changed,
and in this day of womans suf
frage the cry is for a maternal
form of government.
The Iron Mountain Railroad and
President Mobley of the Arkansas
Farmers Union are doing a good
work for the farmers of the state
in the campaign of education
which they are conducting. One
of the greatest needs of Arkansas
is better and more productive
farming. ___________
The Republican party opened
their campaign in Little Rock wit!
a great display of fireworks. The>
did well to burn their powder ir
advance of the election as the>
will not be able to celerate aftei
the election is held. The Demo
crats will do the fireworks act or
the night of September 9th.
Under the Democratic adminis
tration four agricultural schools
have been establised in Arkansas,
showing the attitude of the Dem
ocracy towards the farming ele
ment of the State. These schools
are located at Russellville, Jones
boro, Magnolia and Monticello
and 90 per cent of the attendance
each year has been farmers’ sons
and daughters. They have been
sustained by generous appropria
tions and are doing great good in
advancing the agricultural inter
ests of the State. The Democratic
party is pledged to the support of
these institutions.
I
Out in Oklahoma, cities that
have grown more in ten years than
municipalities in the older sections
have in 20 years, are proud of
their bonded debt. They have a
right to be, for the money borrow
ed has contributed to the growth
of these cities and the advantages
so secured have been a big factor
in bringing people, capital, labor
and industries to their cities.
According to reliable data, eight
million dollars was sent out of Ark
ansas last year for meats alone.
Probably as much more was sent
out of the state for other food
products, yet the soil of Arkansas
will produce enough for every
man, woman and child in the
state and produce a big surplus
for other parts of the country.
We need a prolonged and persist
ent campaign in the interest of
better farming in Arkansas.
The Executive Committee of
the Democratic organization, with
headquarters at Liftle Rock, is ar
ranging for a warm campaign be
fore the September election. Good
speakers have been billed for
every county in the State and the
campaign of education will con
tinue until the day of the election.
Every Democrat in the State
should attend these public meet
ins and encourage with their pres
ence those men who are giving
their time and efforts to bring out
a full vote of the Democracy.
Arkansas has just marketed a
wonderful peach crop estimated
at more than 4,000 cars and valu
ed at more than $2,000,000. It is
further estimated that one-third of
of the crop actually produced has
been wasted through inability to
properly handle the fruit. Canning
factories are needed. This surplus
product should have more than
provided for the cost of production.
It should have been turned into a
profit for the grower and this win
ter the grocers of this state should
be handing out only one brand of
peaces with this label: “Made and
Grown in Arkansas.”
Our present method of securing
public improvements is far too ex
pensive and cumbersome for this
progressive age. We have a fair
sample of this right here in New
ark in our proposed sidewalk im
provement district. Under a sys
tem like that now in force in Ok
lahoma, and which is simlar to our
Proposed Amendment No. 15, cit
ies and towns have far less
trouble in securing money for the
improvements that so many of
them are in need of. The adoption
of this amendment will open the
way for many public improv
ments, and The Journal hopes to
see it adopted.

The Hot Springs
OF ARKANSAS
More than a mountain resort; more than a fashionable
playground—these wonderful springs, w ith their mys
terious health-giving waters, have become famous as
Nature's Greatest Sanitarium
The waters of the Hot Springs of Arkansas are the
greatest waters known to mankind. There is no sub
stitute for the Hot Springs baths. Their marvelous
cures cannot be exaggerated. No one can afford to
deprive himself of the quiet rest, the exhilarating joy
and the wonderful toning up that comes from a course
of these baths, coupled with the rehabilitating influ
ence of the mountain ozone and beautiful landscapes

MISSOURI CROPS GOOD
Editor Journal.—Crops in this
country arc good. Corn is line.
Early corn will make a full crop,
but the most of the crop was plant
ed rather late. We have had
plenty of rain all the season in
fact we think it rained most too
much. Early corn is estimated at
50 bushel per acre and the late
corn if the rain continues will be
fine. Hay was fine. The wheat crop
is very good in the valley. I help
ed thrash six crops. It is worth
here at the mills 95 cents per bush
11 el. Oats were late, but very good.
Truck and vegetables of all kind
in abundance.
Pest respects to all people of
I! Newark and the country around.
1 also send my congratulations to
The Journal. J. A. Bird
Belleview, Mo., August 19.
Most all the folks read The New
