FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910
A Business Mens League has
been organized at Corning. Will
we ever have one at Newark?
Every citizen should be a live
force for good in all things that
affect the welfare of his communi
ty. _
Neighborhood gossip does not
benefit society, and never fails to
injure those who make themselves
a party to it.
Other men may profit by good
luck, but most men will tell you
that their success is due to their
own good judgment.
An exchange observes that the
big hat nuisance, like most of
man’s troubles on this wobbly old
planet, always has a woman at the
bottom of it.
Business men of l’iggott have
organized an association and will
hold a county fair this fall. Why
couldn’t we do the same thing in
Independence county?
Cut the weeds! Lets get busy
and do a little cleaning up before
the big picnic. This is a work in
which the town can spend a little
money to good advantage.
Texarkana took the lead over
all other towns in the state by be
ing the first to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the exhibition of the
Jeffries-Johnson moving pictures.
A new $30,000 hotel is being
built at Blytheville, a little town
over in Mississppi county, no
larger than Newark. In Newark
we can’t get even a $2,000 hotel.
Do you know the reason ?
The Journal is always glad to
have the public feel free to discuss
any matters of public interest
through the columns of this
paper. It makes no difference
whether your opinion agrees with
ours or not. The Journal is an
open forum and we readily grant,
every citizen the same right to ex-;
press his opinion that we demand
for ourselves.
There were 28 killed and 1,785
injured in celebrating the Glorious
Fourth this year. Last year the
mortality list numbered 44 and
the injured 2,361, which shows
that we are at least making some
progress toward a “safe” and
sane” Fourth.
The South should be the richest
country in the world; that is, from
an agricultural standpoint. We
have advantages over any other
country for the production of
wealth, and if the South is not
prosperous it is largely her own
fault. _
A unique feature of the political
campaign in New Hampshire is
the candidacy of Mrs. Marilla
Ricker for the Republican nomi
nation for governor of that state.
She declares that her motives are
not the sordid wishes of the self
seeker, but that she has certain
reforms which she desires to
bring about.
Gov. Donaghey has announced
that he will make a tour of the
state speaking in favor of the good
roads movement, the first of which
will be made at the Green County
Land Congress picnic at Paragould
on the 2nd of August. He will
make several speeches this sum
mer on good roads and industrial
schools, entirely independent from
politics or political issues. Here
tofore the governors of Arkansas
have devoted their speech-making
entirely to politics, and The Jour
nal believes the people of the state
will heartily commend Gov. Dona
ghey for breaking away from the
old custom of eternally talking
politics, and making an effort to
create a greater interest in the
things that will materially add to
the progress and development of
the state. The state needs more
builders and boosters and fewer
peanut politicians.
We notice in the daily papers
every few days where some little
town no larger than Newark is
building a five, eight or ten thous
and dollar church; a fifteen or
twenty thousand dollar school
building; a hotel that costs from
eight to thirty thousand dollars;
the construction of several miles
of concrete sidewalks, and other
public improvements. As a rule
none of these towns are in any
better or richer country than we
have here, their citizens have had
no greater opportunities for gain
ing wealth than our people have
had and we see no reason why they
should be of any higher order of
intelligence than our own people.
Yet they are far outstripping us
in attaining the things that go to
make up the progressive commun
ity, and that add to the comforts,
conveniences and {Measures of life.
Why is this so? Do you know? If
so, what is the cause and the rem
edy? If you have any suggestion
to offer, The Journal would be
glad to hear from you.

One of the greatest reasons why
Arkansas has made no more ad
vancement in the past is because
of the fact that so many of our
citizens have been boosting the
other fellow’s country and knock
ing on Arkansas. You can start
out any day and in thirty minutes
find a dozen men who will tell you
about the great things and the
great opportunites to be found in
other states, and the chances are
that eleven out of the dozen will
knock on Arkansas and boost the
other country. We need more
i home pride, and if Arkansas and
our home county, town or com
munity isn’t what we would have
it be, it is up to us as patriotic
citizens to go to work and make it
what we would like for it to be.
We can do it if we will. We have
the resources, the people, the
brains and the ability.
