FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2H, 1906
Don’t get the idea into your i
head that the man who differs
from you is an idiot. If that were
the case there would be mighty
few smart men in the world.
It is commendable in any citizen
to be law abiding, but, as an ex
change truthfully remarks, the
fellow who has to be forced to <
obey the law is a very poor citi
zen.
An exchange says that a Kansas
man advises men to be kind to j
boys on the ground that some day _
the boys may be superintendents |
of t he poor farms where they are |
stopping. ____________
The Journal is always ready
and willing to publish communica
tions from any citizen on any sub- *
ject of public interest, provided
they contain any reasonable or >
logical argument, but mere mean
ingless assertions are of no inter- 1
est to the public.
I
If the town of Imboden can es
tablish and maintain a system of
waterworks, why cannot Newark >
do the same? The town is as ‘
large and lias as much wealth as
Imboden, and with our bad fire '
record and high rate of insurance, 1
we undoubtedly stand as greatly in 1
need of it.
President Roosevelt has been
the recipient of many high sound
ing compliments because of his po
sition on the railroad rate bill,
which was passed at the recent ses
sion of congress. But under this j
new law, officials of the Standard
Oil Company, the worst trust in
the United States today, can be
given free passes on ail railroads,
because the pipe lines are common
carriers, and common carriers are
permitted to give and accept free
passes among themselves.
The Journal hopes that the ob
jections to the proposed drainage
district can be satisfactorily ad
justed and the ditch dug. It
would mean a great deal to the
community in the opening of a
vast area of land that is now prac
tically worthless. The commun
ity needs the ditch and it also '
needs a ditch from near town east- '
ward into Black river. Of course '
the assessments should bo more 1
equitably adjusted, but we believe
that with the proper effort that
can be done so that no one will be
hurt.
It costs the farmer & good deal
more to produce a pound of cot
ton than it does to produce a pound
■>f bacon, a dozen eggs or a peck
>f apples; jet either of these will
bring him more on the market
than a pound of cotton.
The first number of the Tuck
erman Times has reached our ex
change table, and is a neat and
well gotten up sheet. As the edi
tor of The .Journal has had some
experience in the newspaper busi
ness in Tuckerman, we are in a po
sition to sympathize with Brother
Elliott. _______________
The man who has no business
ind does not work is a detriment
to any community, and is of no
benefit to himself or any one else.
He is merely an existing piece of
flesh and occupies the same posi
tion to the great body of human
ity that a wart does on the back
>f a man’s hand.
The report comes from New
i'ork that there is an increased
lemancl for pearls and prices are
ligher than ever before. The
prominent jewelers of that city
ire making specialties of pearl
:ollections and several of them
lave necklaces valued at from
>150,000 to $250,000. The pearl
lunters in Arkansas should get
)usy. _
THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT
The Batesville Guard of Mon
lay erroneously stated that the
‘our Messrs. Magness, W. D., W.
l\, G. O. and ,1. P., who were in
rlatesville Monday on business
:onnectea with the proposed drain
ige district, were there for the
>urpose of being relieved of fur
her responsibility for the matter.
Hie Journal is assured by these
gentlemen that such is not the

case. We suppose, however, that'
the Guard was merely misinform
ed in regard to the matter and did
not intentionally misrepresent the i
gentlemen.
But The Journal notices that ]
certain parties, especially here in
Newark, are so much worked up
over the matter that they cannot
speak of these gentlemen without
being more or less vindictive and
abusive. We believe, however,
that the petitioners went into the
undertaking with an honest motive
to benefit the community, and we
are assured by these gentlemen
that they are as strongly in favor
of the ditch today as tney were
when the matter was first taken
up. It is true that much land has
been included within the boundar
les of the proposed district that
would receive no corresponding
benenefits for the amount of taxes
that has been placed upon it, but
the petitioners and bondsmen are
not responsible for this, nor for
! the amount of taxes assessed.
] They have no desire, as some seem
: to think, to unjustly burden the
! people with taxation. Some peo
ple seem to think these men have
sprouted horns and formed a part
nership with some conscienceless
! demon for the purpose of robbing
the taxpayers. But The Journal
does not think so. We believe
they are as much interested in the
welfare of the people of the edrn
munity as any other man or set
men. That mistakes have been
made we readily admit; but this is I
a big undertaking and the human
family is full of mistakes, and
they crop out daily and hourly in
much smaller matters than this.
The thing to do is to correct the
j mistakes and press onward; and
this, we are assured, is what the
petitioners expect to do.
No man desires to see his neigh
bor unjustly burdened with tax
ation and The Journal has enough i
confidence in the integrity of the
county court to believe that that
tribunal would not approve any
action that sought to tax people'
without first modifying and equit
ably adjusting the rate of taxation.
These drainage districts are
coming. The county needs them
—it must have them—and will get!
them, sooner or later. There will j
be opposition to them, of course.5
There is always opposition to any
progressive movement. When
The .Journal began agitating the
construction of sidewalks in NewT-!
ark four or five years ago, there
was opposition, even to so small a
matter as that, and some people
who had been wading the mud for
years and years, actually talked as
if they thought we were going
crazy—thought it was absurd to
talk about as small a town as New
ark trying to build sidewalks—it
would cost too much, the town
couldn’t afford it! The same ar
gument was put forth against
draining the old pond near the de
pot—it will cost too much, we
can’t afford it! And that is the
greatest trouble with Newark to
day. The people go around with
a death grip on their pursestrings,
afraid a penny will get away. It’s
| the man who peers into the future
and contributes his money and en
ergy in assisting to carry out pro
gressive movements, that prospers
and becomes a benefactor to his
race. The knocker was never
known to accomplish anything for
the benefit of the human race.
When you mention anything in
the nature of progressive improve
ment to him he opposes it—he’s
afraid it will cost him something.
| He is satisfied with himself and
i his surroundings.
Draw aside the curtain, look
back a hundred years and serious
| ly contemplate the scene. If ev
erybody had been knockers, the
human family would be living to
day just as it did ages and ages
ago.
Can you afford to be a knocker?
