ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
Hold High the Torch!
The world holds the future in trust for ten
million dead. To the extent that it provides a
way to prevent war, it fulfills the spirit of that
trust. The duty is plain. No lather of words
can modify it or explain it away.
America made war to end war. There wTas
no other shibboleth before those heroes who
now moulder beneath the shattered oaks and
firs of Argonne. Because they hoped to make
the world a better place to live in, they gave all
that men may give; and if we fail them to-day,
after they have paid our debt, wre betray them.
The so-called League of Nations is only a
faint shadow of Woodrow Wilson vision. Hard
ly had the great guns ceased to thunder before
the old passions, the old suspicions, the old jeal
ousies and selfish motives received fresh asser
tion. Not only abroad, but here in America,
where reactionaries fume and clash, striving to
undo the work that has been done, this is true.
But whatever the compromise, the League
of Nations is a fact. It is a luminous beginning
about which men and women must rally, lest
the cause for which their sons fought shall fail
of acknowledgment. There are enough diffi
culties to contend with. The principle of self
determination is right, but its perplexities and
hazards are almost without number. The co
lonial question is enormously complex and prej
udice between the races cannot be obliterated.
Instead of persisting in politics here at
home, and discrediting the President in the
council chamber of nations, we ought to recall
the desire that animated America to begin with.
Most of all, we uoght to recall the spirit that
sustained those boys of ours who will never re
turn from France.—Holland’s Magazine.

Speaking about that levee Newport wants
but hsan’t got. Nobody has said a word about it,
yet not a citizen of Newport but is thinking so
hard about it that his thoughts are almost au
dible. Everytime the river goes on a rampage
we want a levee, but when it behaves itself we
don’t need a levee, and there you are.—New
port Independent.
In other words you are like the fellow who
lived in a house with a badly decayed roof on
it—when the weather was fair he had as good
roof as anybody, and when it rained, it was
too blamed wet to fix the roof.

A sufficient range in variety of fruits can
be produced in home orchards throughout a
large portion of the country to provide a sup
ply in the fresh state for the table during a
large part of the year and for canning and
otherwise conserving for use as desired. Every
farmer should have an orchard.

When the swords have been beaten into

Don’t get discouraged when you think
about all the nice things some other folks have.
A lot of them are not paid for.

Here is Billy Sunday’s latest. He says “If

All citizens should help and encourage all
worthy enterprises. They help build the town
and community.
The Church and the Community.
There are two kinds of church work, two
ideals of religion. One of these is that religion
is a mater of doctrine; the other is that religion
is a matter of service. One kind of work seeks
to divide people, to classify them and set them
off into separate groups. The other kind of
work seems to bring them together, to have
them join in work for the good of all. The
religion of separation is based upon the con
viction that I am right and ycu are wrong. The
religion of union is based upon recognition of
the fact that neither of us is as good as he
needs to be, but that by helping each other we
can make ourselves and other people better.
The one believes that it is the duty of the
church simply to prepare men for a Kingdom
of God in another life and another world; the
other feels the duty of helping the kingdom to
come here on earth.
We are not saying that matters of indi
vidual belief are of no importance, or that a
man needs to give up his convictions. But the
man who holds in his own heart to his own
creed, is by that very fact, if he is a reasonable
man, bound to concede the same right of fixed
individual belief to the man who may disagree
with him; and by the same rule, he should also
be bound not to permit his individual belief to
interefere with the church life and social life
of the community.
We have always had in most of the coun
try and small town churches too much stress
laid upon beliefs and too little on deeds; too
much interest in church salvation and not
enough interest in the welfare and salvation of
the community—too much selfishness and not
enough real, broad brotherliness.
It should be the business of a church in a
community to save and help elevate to a higher
plane the entire community, not just a few in
dividual people of the community.
The church that lives in open antagonism
to some other church of the community, and
that makes no effort to put an end to neighbor
hood quarrels and dissentions among the peo
ple of the community, is falling far short of ful
filling its real mission, and it cannot square it
self with God and humanity by merely holding
a so-called revival meeting.
If there isn’t anything more to religion
than just merely going to church and declaring
your belief in certain creeds and doctrines, re
ligion is a mighty shallow thing.

During times like the past few months we
all can see the need of better roads, but when
summer comes and the roads dry out and get
fairly passable, we become absorbed in other
matters and forget the roads until they get
bad again.

Its time to name a “Clean Up Day” for
Newark. Spring is nearly here and there is no
time to lose if we are going to clean up the
town before warm weather.

Worry may be worse than drink, as some
great man has said, but we are told it doesn’t
leave the same taste in the mouth the morning
after.

Our idea of a pessimist is the fellow who
can’t enjoy the sunshine today for fear that it
will rain tomorrow.
THE SHIP OF STATE
LONGFELLOW
1 hou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hope of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy feet!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
W hat workman wrought thy ribs of steel,
W ho made each mast and sail and rope,
W hat anvil rang, what anvils beat,
In what forge and what a heat,
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
hear not each sudden sound and shock—
1 is of the wave, and not the rock;
Tis but the flapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempests’ roar,
In spite of false light on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o’er our fears,
Are with thee,—are all with thee.
17-YEAR LOCUST WILL
NOT VISIT ARKANSAS
The 17-year locust never
comes to Arkansas. Other
states will be visited by the
pest this year, but Arkansas
will not, according to W. J.
Baerg, head of the department
of entomology of the Universi
ty of Arkansas. The broods
that appear in this state from
time to time are those of the
13-year race. This specie is
not scheduled to appear in
Arkansas this year.

30,500 AUTO LICENSES
The State Highway Depart
ment to date has issued a total
of 30,500 automobile licenses.
Many applications for licenses
are received daily by the de
partment, and it is probable
last year's total will be far ex
ceeded. The number issued
thus far is about 10,000 less
than in 1918.
