ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
Congratulations to Sheriff Harris.
Sheriff Noah Harris deserves the commen
dation of every good citizen for the splendid
start he has made toward enforcing the law
against the illegal sale of whiskey in this coun
ty.
The recent decision of the supreme court
permitting liquor to be brought into the state for
personal use,resulted in opening the floodgates
and booze from Missouri and Louisanna has
flowed freely in all parts of the state, as a re
sult of the activities of bootleggers.
Whiskey for personal use may, or may not
be, a bad thing, depending somewhat upon the
personal viewpoint but more largely upon how
freely and frequently it is used.
But no matter how greatly people may
differ upon the use of whiskey, there can be
no qestioning the fact that the bootlegger is a
criminal whose presence is a menace to any
community.
Ample proof of this is found right at our
doors by the recent murder of an officer at
Newport by a negro bootlegger who was caught
with a lot of whiskey which the negro was
bringing in from Poplar Bluff for the bootleg
traffic in Newport.
A brave and fearless officer, in the pursuit
of his sworn duty in upholding the law, was
foully murdered. The citizens of Newport, in
their righteous indignation, lynched the negro.
These two human lives were snuffed out within
less, than an hour, as a result of the activities
of a bootlegger.
The same thing might happen any day in
Newark, or Batesville, or any other town,
where the bootlegger is permitted to begin his
nefarious traffic.
The law against the illegal sale of whiskey
should be enforced as strictly and as impartial
ly as the law against theft, arson or murder;
primarily because it is the law, and the majes
ty of the law should be maintained; secondly,
because the illegal sale of liquor breeds crime,
often resulting in murder, as was the case re
cently at Newport.
Sheriff Harris has made a splendid start in
the right direction and The.Teurnal congratulat
es him upon the success of his efforts to enforce
the law.
We believe the good citizens of the entire
county endorse the work of Sheriff Harris and
will stand solidly behind him in his efforts to
eradicate the bootlegger.

- Germany*s Streak of Yellow.
As the curtain lifts in Germany, many
j things are being revealed that are of an amaz
ing nature, throwing a sinster light upon Ger
iS iinan character.

But nothing is more typically German than
the hypocritical whimpering with which the
leading citizens and the leading newspapers of
that country have continually denounced the
I armistice as an act of gross injustice.
This comes in very poor grace from a peo
ple who only a few months ago were urging
the cause of frightfulness with all their ability
and were telling the world how Germany was
to treat her enemies when the “German peace”
was secured.
It has recently developed that only a mon
th before the armistice was signed, a leading
newspaper in Switzerland, controlled by Ger
I
[i

man interests, gave over a large part of its
editorial page to making fun of America for
giving Europe the facts as to what our entry
in the war meant, and this egregious pro-Ger
man Swiss paper made fun of France for be
lieving in the idea of the irrestible America,
whose mighty power was to drive back these
baches, that would be unconquerable behind
the Rhine and which was to bring the sister na
tion the final victory.
Of course, about the time of July 4, and
July 14 the papers throughout Germany laugh
ed over the celebrations <f the American and
French natal days anil re-echoed the jeer of
the kaiser that the American endeavor “to sup
port its great boasts with great deeds” would
be ‘‘promptly attended to” by his soldiers, and
were altogether sure that Germany cc uld and
would make the world pay them for the trouble
of conquering it.
Now, with their boasts turning to bitter
ness as apples of Sodom in their mouths, they
whine and whimper, showing none of the crush
ed dignity and noble humanity with which
France took her defeat in 1871.
Geimany has shown a streak of yellowr
that is equally as large as was her streak of
egotism.
Selfishness is: the greatest enemy of the
human family. It has wrecked nations, im
poverished individuals, caused poverty, disap
pointed politicians and filled jails and state
prisons. Our greatest trials are likely to be
not with our neighbors but with ourselves. Men
must learn to conquer self before they can be
victorious in society and for the community,
And unless one begin in youth there is little
hope of being master of one’s self.
-y
Liquor dies hard. Swearing, biting, scrat
ching, it goes to its doom. The most recent
revelations show it was willing to use even
German weapons to further its own ends. It
planned boycotts against those who shunned
its society. It had no conscience. There are
many reasons for its death, but mourners may
lay most blame on the liquer interests own
leaders and their intolerable methods.—Coun
try Gentleman.
Some interesting facts are found in the bi
ennial report of Attorney General Jno. I). Ar
buckle. The judicial courts of the state dis
posed of 3,458 cases, of which 1721 wrere con
victions, 474 were acquittals, and 1086 dismis
sals. There were 2179 cases against whites
and 1275 against negroes. There were only
141 cases against women, both white and black

It has been suggested that all enemy aliens
who have been interned during the war should
be deported. Suits us exactly. Why should

There seems to be a rush among the staU

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE
BOYD PASCOE CLARK
Silent as the dawn, myster
ious as the night, yet certain as
the truth, the destroyer comes.
The destroyer visited the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Clark on
the evening of January 5 and
took away their little son.
Boyd, 19 months old- This
little Jewel was in the home
but a short time, but long
enough to gain a strong hold
upon the affections of the par
ents and family friends. It is
sad to part with those we love
but the joy of meeting them
in Heaven beyond the power
of death will repay all tears.
