Pocahontas now has a daily pa
llor, the Star having begun the
publication of a daily.
The Journal was the tirst paper
in Arkansas to publish a picture
<r»f the convicted boodler.
The Arkansas Gazette professes
to be opposed to trusts, but from
the way the Gazette has been howl
ing over the enforcement of the
anti-trust law, one would never'
a>uspect it.
The other members of the leg- j
islature who are under indictment
for hood ling are not so loudly de
manding a sjieedy trial, since'
Chapline was convicted, as they
were some time ago.

The national secretary of the'
Southern Cotton Association pre
dicts that cotton will sell for twelve
«*ents a pound this fall. It. will
take ten or twelve cents to bring
the farmers out even on the crop.
The Journal deeply sympathizes
with the Arkansas Democrat in
the loss of its fine new plant by
fire. It was a severe blow, but
the Democrat takes its misfortune
philosophically and has not missed
an issue.
Last Sunday’s St. Louis Repub
lic contained a lint* picture of Gov
ernor Jeff Davis of Arkansas, who
seems to l>e attracting considerable
attention from all parts of the
country, on account of the boodle
and anti-trust agitation in this
state, and tin* governor’s campaign
for l nited States Senator.
County Organizer .1. A. An
chultz is preparing to inaugurate
a vigorous campaign of organiza
tion in behalf of the Farmers Un
ion, and hopes to largely increase
the membership of the In ion in j
this county within the next few
months. There are quite a nuin
i>er of local Unions in the county
now, embracing a total member
ship of something like 800, and it
is predicted that the present mem
bership will reach 1,500 within the
next few months.
The Searcy Citizen says that
VN hite county pays spot cash to
her jurors and witnesses for their
scrip, and quotes a prominent
bank cashier as saying this is the
first time he ever heard of a coun
ty doing business on a spot cash
basis. We suppose they have
never heard of Independence coun
ty over at Searcy. Independence
county has l>een doing this for a
number of years, and besides, she
has a snug sum tucked away in her
stocking for a rainy day.
THK SENATORS HIP.
Senator Berry has held public
office continuously for thirty-nine
years. In 18ffi> he was elected to
the legislature from Benton coun
ty, and since that time he has held
almost every office within the gift
of the people of Arkansas; and at
the end of his present term will
have been in Congress twenty-four
years. Would it not have been
more in keeping with the true
spirit of Democracy if the senator
had thanked the people of Arkan
sas for the many honors bestowed
upon him and gracefully retired,
without having to be chocked off (
The Journal thinks it would. And
if a man is not satisfied with thir
ty-nine years in office what would
it take to satisfy him?
Senator Berry draws a salary of
$5,000 a year for his services as
senator, which for the twenty-four
years he has been in the senate,
makes a total of $120,000. It is
plainly evident, therefore, that
the senator ought to have laid by a
snug sum of the coin of the realm,
and as for the honors of the posi
tion, a quarter of a century’s con
tinuous service in the highest law
making body of the greatest na
tion on earth, certainly ought to
satisfy his thirst for honor. Then
why hang on like a mangy calf
and have to be chocked offThere
are a number of men in Arkansas
just as worthy of the honor, and
just as competent and able to look
after the state’s interest. Then
why not pass it around and let
some other man enjoy the honor
(and the salary) awhile 1
From our way of looking at
things, Senator Berry has “got all
that’s coming to him.”

tion With State Capitol Bill in

State Senator K. (>. Butt wa*.
arrested at Berryville Monday or*
a bench warrant from Little Rock
charging him with bribery in con
! nection with the bill appropriating

ment alleges that Senator Butt
paid sfioo and promised $400.mo.r»
to Senator R. R. Adams of Grant
County for the latter’s vote in fa
j vor of the bill. Senator Butt gave
Ixuid in the sum of $.‘>,000 for his.
appearance at the September term*
of Pulaski County circuit court ir»
answer to the charge.
Reports from F.ureka Springs,
Senator Butt’s home, say that the
best citizens, irrespective of party*
have signed the bond and have
implicit faith in the Senator’s hon
or and integrity. In an interview
.Mr. Butt stated that he had do
fears of the final outcome of the
affair and of the fact his innocence
of the charge would be established.
However, Senator R. R. Adams of
(irant county, who is editor of the
Sheridan Headlight, published an
editorial in his paper last week
stating that Senator Butt had giv
en Him $1<hi to vote for the jmss
age of the bill and promised hin>
*+<><> more. Senator Adams be
came conscience stricken and re
turned the $100 to Senator Butt.

You can’t beat it. It has all the strong points, will put full
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out of orde r because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. l>ut they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let's talk this matter over. You can’t tell all
