RANEY ON THE: STATE
CHARITY BOARD
The action of Gov. Hays in ap
pointing Senator T. J. Raney of
this place as a member of the
new Board of Control of State
Charitable Institutions will meet
the hearty and sincere approval
of the people of North Arkansas
who know and appreciate Senator
Raney for his real worth and
ability.
He has been in politics for a
number of years, and no man in
public life in Arkansas has taken
a firmer stand for right and for
moral and civic progress than
Senator Raney, either in an offi
cial capacity or as a private
citizen.
On numerous occasions he has
led the fight and borne the brunt
of the battle in fights for moral
and political reforms.
He is a man of strong person
ality and decided convictions.
He never straddles a question
but meets the issue squarely and
fearlessly in all matters affecting
the public welfare. For this
reason he makes strong and last
ing friends, and also bitter ene
mies. Among his strongest per
sonal and political friends are
numbered some of the best and
most prominent citizens of the
state—men who stand high in
official life and play an import
ant part in shaping the destinies
of Arkansas.
The honor which Gov. Hays
has conferred upon Senator Raney
is deeply appreciated by his nu
merous friends, all of whom be
lieve that he will fully measure
up to all the requirements expect
ed of him in the discharge of his
official duties.
Senator Edmondson is the man
who introduced the bill to repeal
the Publicity Act. He is the man
who also led the tight for
the Hot Springs Racing Bill. An
other Senator who opposes the
racing bill stated that there were
rumors of members selling out,
and that he had heard the price
was $1,000. Are some members
of the Senate afraid of too much
publicity?—Danville Democrat.

WHEN A SUBSCRIBER
QETS ANGRY
When a subscriber gets angry
and stops his paper he should
poke his finger in a bucket of
water, pull it out again and thep
look for the hole. Then he will
know how sadly he is missed.
A man who thinks a paper can
not survive without his support
ought to go off and stay awhile.
When he comes back half his
friends will not know he was
gone and the other half will not
care a cent, while the world at
large keeps no account of his
movements.
You will find things you can
not indorse in every paper. Even
the Bible is pretty plain and hits
some pretty hard licks. If you
were to get mad and burn your

would still go on printing it, and
when you stop your paper and
call the editor bad names, the
paper will still be published and
what is still more you’ll read it
on the sly.—Exchange.
A nation of farmers who raise
an abundance of food is a wealthy
nation. Such a nation is finan
cially in a sound condition and
can exert a powerful influence in
the diplomatic counsels of the
world. This is why the farmer
is the “backbone” of the nation.
But the exclusive cotton farmer
with his debts for food and feed,
if a backbone at all, is as unreli
able as the backbone of a jelly
fish.—Farm and Ranch.
M. F. Dickinson, who was re
cently appointed state auditor by
Gov. Hays, was for a number of
years state secretary of the Ark
ansas Farmers Union and is at
present first vice-president of
that organization. Mr. Dickin
son is very popular, not only in
the Farmers Union but with all
labor organizations of the state

\ A g*gat£ many people do not
seem to rebognize the difference
between a knocker and a fighter.
If a man contends against wrong
and contends for right, he is of
ten called a knocker. A knocker
is one who tears down, but never
builds up anything. A fighter
tears down that which is wrong
and builds up what is good. If it
were not for the fighter that gi- i
gantic evil, the liquor evil, would
continue to flourish, destroying
its millions of victims; evils of all,
kind would grow and righteous
ness would decrease.—Arkansas

The people of the United States
are the greatest coffee drinkers
in the world, and statistics show
that the per capita consumption
of coffee is rapidly increasing.
During 1914 more than a billion '
pounds of coffee was imported'
and the per capita consumption
was more than 10 pounds. In
1804 the per capita consumption
of coffee was only 3; pounds,
while in 1874 it was 61 pounds
and in 1894 it was 8.1 pounds.
The capacity of the average
American for consuming drink
ables seems to be unlimited.
In a public speech in Chicago;
a few days ago, Judge Carter of
the Illinois Supreme Court, de- J
nounced attempts to curb the
freedom of the press, as narrow,
misguided and fraught with great
danger. Judge Carter lauded the
newspapers as the country’s
greatest educational institutions,
that millions read nothing else,
and that Americans received
practically their entire political
education from the newspapers.
The Journal is pleased to note
the appointment of our old friend
G. L. Smith as treasurer of Jack
son county. Me was appointed
by Gov. Hays last Saturday to fill
the vacancy caused by the death
of Treasurer Jno.- H. Camp. Mr.
Smith is one of Jackson county’s
most reliable and progressive
young men and Gov. Hays could
not have made a better appoint
ment. _
We have an idea that the new
blind tiger law will make juice
joints tolerably scarce in Arkan
sas after the state-wide law goes
into effect.
Wonder if Mr.Coffman doesn’t
begin to feel as if somebody had
untied his “Nanny” and
walked off with it?
and it is said that his appointment
meets the hearty approval of the
entire membership of these or
ganizations.
Did the Sawyers racing law
“thow” the rider, or did he get
scared and jump off?
Cheer up! The worst is over.
The legislature adjourned yes

DOWDY BILL DEFEATED
The bill introduced in the legis
lature by Mr. Dowdy for a revi
sion of the state revenue laws1
was defeated, 40 to 42. The bill
provided for a general change in
the method of assessments, creat- I
a ayaiciii ui tuwiiaiiip a^aiM,
ant assessors, changing the time
af tax paying from spring to the
fall of the year, and abolishing
the system of County Equaliza
tion Boards as now constituted,
and creating a system by which
the board is composed of the
:ounty judge, clerk and one jus
tice of the peace from each town
ship.
Mr. Dowdy made a strong plea :
for the bill, believing that it would
work out beneficially in many
ways, give the tax payer a better
•eason in which to pay his taxes,
and provide a more thorough sys
tem of local assessments.
