There is no dope that will eradicate
freckles from a j»erson’s character.
An exchange observes that it is much
easieg to tell people how good they
should l>e than it is to show them.
The Arkansas Ptvss Association
held its annual meeting at Little Rock
last week, but Senator Jeff Davis did
not deliver the address of welcome.
R. H. McCulloch, Secretary of the
National Farmers’ Union, says the
acreage of the 1SX>8 cotton crop will
be twenty per cent less than the acre
age last year.
It is said that $10 bills often In
come filled with deadly germs and then
scatter disease. But that don't worry
us: we never keep a $10 bill long enough
to become inoculated.
Somebody has discovered that the
Merry Widow hat is becoming only to
the \$omah who is old enought to be a
widow. And now what are the dear
girls going to do about it?
Suppose King Solomon with all his
wives had lived in these modern days
when divorces have become so popular.
If about 51MJ of his wives should have
entered divorce proceedings and asked
for alimony, wouldn’t the old gentle
man have l>een up against the real
thing?
The greatest political thought in the
world is that embodied in the Declar
ation of Indej>endence, that all men
are created equal. This is the basis
of popular government, and popular
government is spreading. It does not
mean that men are, or will be, equal
in physical strength, in intelectual
ability, in moral character or in
wealth it simply means that God
never gave to one human being a nat
ural right that Tie denied to any other
human being, and that in the contem
plation of government, all must stand
equal before the law. Out of this
basic principle all other political
principles must grow, and by it all
methods of government and all poli
cies must l>e measured.—Bryan.
Rev. L. P. Law is conducting a re
ligious revival in the opera house at
Newport,which seems to l*e awakening
quite a good deal of interest. If there
is a town in Arkansas that needs a
good shaking up, morally and relig- j
iously, it is Newport. That town has
liecome the Sodom of North Arkansas.
~ -
There is a sowing time and a time
to reap. The wise man said: "Bring
a child up in the way he should go. j
and when he is old he will not depart j
from it.” So it is with the boys of
today who are allowed to run the j
streets tifi nintf or ten o’clock at night. :
This does not mean our town alone, j
as most all towns are similarly afflict
ed—for an affletion it surely proves to j
1h- to many families in the after life of
the boys. Parents, see after your
hoys, and the company they keep. It
will Ihj worth more than gold to you
and them in the years to come.
THE EFFECT OF GOOD READING,
Childhood is truly tin* time to Re
quire knowledge: a healthy child is
never still or idle. Kvsry moment he
is awake he is learning something.
And all his knowledge of the world is
obtained through his live or six senses
as some count them, but he learns
most, as we guess we all do, from
what he is told, from what he sees and
from reading. , Before he knows one
letter from another he will look at
pictures an hour at a time and if he ;
can find any one to read or tell him
about what he sees, his tongue is as
busy as his eyes. His little brain
must do some thinking to keep both
memliers so busy. What he learns
from a picture book cannot l>e calcul
ated.
As soon as a child is old enough to
read, if he is not provided with read
ing material there are only two ways
for him to do, either to find books and
papers for himself or spend his time
in some other way. As what a child
reads has such a power over his whole
life, it is very important that parents
be careful about what their children
read. If a taste or desire for reading
or study is not formed early in life it
is probable it never will be. or if a
passion for worthless, sensational
print is acquired it will 1«* difficult to
eradicate such a desire. Negligence
or thoughlessness of parents on this
question have been known to l>o the,
cause of lifelong regret.
The plea that it takes money to buy
books or “can't afford it’’ can be met i
we think. It may take self denial hut1
better far self denial now than grief
and remorse and wayward children in
your old age. A little tobacco or a
cigar less a day and you would soon
svae dollars; or if those luxuries are
not indulged in, on looking around
every one can find something he can
do without or with less of. Better to
give the ehildred less meat than to
starve their minds. Twenty to twenty
five cents a week laid by will soon
amount to enough to pay for all the
reading children need and a weekly
paper or magazine for the parents.
