FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1907
Governor Pindall has stated
that he will not pardon any man
convicted of carrying concealed
weapons or selling intoxicating
liquors without license. This is at
least one good thing to his credit.
Newark has again proven her
invincibleness. A man was fined
in the mayor’s court this week for
doing a thing which the judge of
the circuit court said was not a
violation of the law. You can’t
keep a good town down.
The people do not object to tax
ation when there is an.v apparent
good to show for it, and if the in
crease in the school tax results in
longer terms and better teachers
for the public schools, the seven
mill tax will likely be adopted
with annual regularity.
Farmers who are interested in
growing beans of the various kinds
should write the department of
agriculture for the new bulletin
on bean culture. Write the Sec
retary of Agriculture, Washing
ton, 1). C., and ask Farmers
Bulletin No. 2S9 on the subject of
beans. It cost you nothing and
you may get some useful hints
from it. _
The public has become accus
tomed to the horseless carriage,
the hammerless gun, smokeless
powder, noiseless machinery and
the ’steen other —less things of
modern times, but if the weather
man persists in this thing of serv
ing us with springless years, a
great many of we moneyless 2x4\s
are going to be forced to move
further south.
The total amount of gold pro
duced b.v the Yukon river territory
during' the year 1906, according to
official reports, was $5,230,606.
That is a goodly sum of the pre
cious metal, but. as little as you
have perhaps thought about it, the
old hens of Arkansas are produc
ing more money than the once
famous Yukon gold fields. A con
servative estimate of the value of
the poultry and eggs sold in Ar
kansas during the year 1906 is
something over six million dollars,
so you see there are other and
more easier ways of making
money than hunting for gold
mines. _
The Journal has been trying for
a long time to convince the peo
ple of Newark that the town needs
and should have a canning factory,
but there are some who seem
skeptical about the financial suc
cess of such an institution. To
those who are thus inclined we
commend the following from the
Paragould Soliphone: “It has
been said by skeptics that the
Paragould Canning Factory would
be closed down this season, but
such is far from the truth and the
management is now making pre
parations for the biggest run in
the history of this industry. The
farmers who tried tomato raising
last year as a rule were satisfied
~with the results, as they found
that more money could be made
with tomatoes than with cotton,
and prospects are very bright foi
fl. sufficient crop of tomatoes to de
mand a long run of the canning
factory this summer.”
That new heir to the Spanish
throne has created a great furore
among the crowned heads and
royal petticoats of Europe, but he
will miss lots of good things by
being born of the royal blood. He
j will never know what it is to slip
I off to the old swimming hole,
never taste the unspeakable de
liciousness of a watermelon swiped
from a neighbor’s patch, nor ex
perience the delight of feeling the
warm soft mud sqush up between
his toes. ________
There is a most gratifying spirit
of progressiveness among the
school districts of the county,
about one-third of them having
voted the seven-mill tax at the
recent school election. Too much
stress cannot be laid upon the im
! portance of an efficient public
school system, and it should be
the constant endeavor of every
good citizen to do everything
possible to add to the efficiency of
the public schools, both as to
length of term and the class of in
structors employed.
The Sunday lid movement has
struck Little Rock, and, as in
many other places, there is a
tendency to overdo the thing.
The city fathers passed an ordi
nance compelling the butcher
shops to close up on Sunday, and
now there is a movement on foot
to close the news stands, cigar
stands and soda fountains, and
even stop the streetcars from run
ning on Sunday. The next thing
we know, some over zealous lid
advocate will be trying to prohibit
a man hugging the hired girl on
Sunday. _______
The first complete road census
ever taken in the United States
has just been completed by the
public road branch of the agricul
tural department at Washington,
and shows that Arkansas has 86,
•145 miles of public roads, of which
181 are surfaced with gravel and
55 miles with stone. It will be
seen from this that seven-tenths of
one per cent of the public roads of
the state have been improved. The
census also developed that a little
more than two-thirds of a mile of
road had been built for each square
mile of the state's area, and that
there is one mile of road for every
36 inhabitants, and one mile of
improved roads for every 5,557 of
population. This bulletin shows
that the south is taking the lead in
road building, and a southern state
—Kentucky—has won the honor
of having more miles of stone
finished roads than any other state
in the union.
Father’s money is all right and
mother’s prayers^re all right, but
it won’t do to depend too much on
either. Father’s money will buy
you a farm or set you up in busi
ness. It will also bail you out
when you get in trouble, but re
member it will not make people
think more of you. The boy who
has all the money he wants to
spend runs up against a hard pro
position when he grows up and
his source of income fails. What
a fellow appreciates most is that
which he has worked hard for.
Don’t depend too much on father’s
money or mother’s prayers.
