FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1902.
it would l*o a decided improve
ment if the State Republican
would discard its home-set matter
and use plates altogether.
The first number of the Beebe
Herald, a neatly printed and
newsy five column quarto, with
A. N. Barlow as editor, has found
its way to our exchange table. It
is successor to the Bald Knob
Herald and bears a more prosper
ous appearance than when at
Bald lvuob.
The l’aiagould Soliphone inti
mates that the republican party in
Arkansas lias swallowed itsolfand
gone off to tl*f woods to think the
matter over. Well, that was a
wise act in going off to the woods
for if it should happen to have to
vomit it would be necessary to
climb a mighty tall tree to keep
its nose out of the corruption.
A copy of tho Christian Pilot,
recently established at Black Rock
by Borden & Lemons, is on our
tabic and is a neat little paper.
Rev. Borden held a protracted
meeting here during the Summer
and will be pleasantly remember
ed by many of our people, lie is
a good preacher and we wish him
abundant success in the new field.
If a salary of $1,000 will send
better men to the legislature, as a
great many of the newly elected
members claim it will, why should
they favor a thousand dollar sala
ry? it is plainly evident that they
have not applied the proper
amount of reason to this argu
ment, for if a thousand dollar sal
ary calls for good men, at least
throe-fourths of the present mem
bers would be disqualified for re
election. _
Attorney General Murphy has
delivered an official opinion that,
in case of a tie in an election,
there is no vacancy, that the pre
sent incumbent holds until his suc
cessor is elected and qualified and
that the governor has no authority
to appoint. This knocks out the
legislative appointment recently
made in this county. The opinion
was made public yesterday and
will be published in full in The
Journal next week.

Newport is grappling with the
hewer problem. It toots Brother
Waterman, of the News, a long,
long time to convince the New
port people that they ought to
have sewerage, but he seems to
have won the tight, as he always
does in anything he undertakes,
and it should be gratifying to him
to know that his labor is to be
crowned with success. But we
will bet two-bits that there are
people in Newport >vho will say
that the News has had no influ
ence in bringing this great enter
prise to a successful conclusion.
The editor of the Sharp County
Record wants The Journal to dis
tinctly understand that lie does
not use slang and is somewhat of
an angd himself. But, as we un
derstand it, angels are, as cur
republican bretheron say of the
trusts, divided into two classes—
good and bad. At least we have
read something about the devil
and his angels and as our brother
failed to state which tribe lie was
a member of, we naturally infer
that his certificate of membership
.bears the seal ot His Satanic
Majesty, and it would he no sur
prise to learn that his monthly
dues are six or eight months in
; arrears even in that tribe.
—
davis and a third term.
Ami now coiuch the aiir.ouncc
ment from the state capital that
•Jeff Davis will he a candidate for
a third term as governor. This
will probably he a surprise to
many of his followers throughout
the state, from the fact that he
1 most emphatically announced in
! many of his speeches (.luting the
I recent campaign that lie positive
ly would not he a candidate for a
third term, and even asked that
, the Arkansas Democrat print this
statement “in box car letters.”
Governor Davis probably knows
his own business, hut from our
point of view, it would he a very
uncertain undertaking for him to
again offer for governor. No
governor within a number of vears
■ past has ever seriously considered
such a step, and, notwithstanding
his great popularity with certain
classes of people, we believe that
it would ho political suicide for
him to attempt it.
The Journal has always mani
fested a friendly disposition to
ward Governor Davis, and, w hile
we have never taken an active in
terest either for or against him as
a candidate for United States
senator, we must candidly admit
that The Journal is opposed to
his candidacy for a third term as
governor.
lsLUFUNG DON’T GO.
It seems to he no secret that the
grand jury has been investigating
I
t lie conduct of the editor of The
Journal during llie recent politi
cal campaign. Whether or not
they felt justified in returning a
truebill charging us with a viola
tion of the law. we are not pre
pared to say.
The editor of this paper is per
sonally acquainted with hut few
members of the present gtand
jury, but suppose they are all
good men. However, we think it
entirely within the bounds of
truth to say that there is a good
deal of spite work at the bottom
of tho affair. Of one thing we
are reasonably sure : There is ab
solutely no grounds for a libel
suit against The Journal, from
'the simple fact that we have nev
i ...
er made a single mis-statement of
the facts in the case in our dis
cussions at the political situation
in the county.
True, we have poured hot shot
into some of the gang of eonupt,
sore-bellied political tricksters
who have manipulated things hi
this county, and they no doubt
feel sore about it. but the pity of
it is we did not tell one-half of
their meaness.
But we have won their enmity
because we boldly stood up for
the right and denounced their
schemes of daylight robbery, and
they no doubt think they will get
a iduff in on us good and hard be
having certain persons summoned
before the grand jury to be quiz
zed about editorials that appear
ed in The Journal. Fortunately,
or unfortunately, as the case may
be. The Journal is not to be bluff
ed by any such methods and ex
pects to go on denouncing cor
ruption wherever it may occur,
regardless of the bluffing and bull
dozing tactics of cliques and com
bines.
Our attitude on any of the issues
discussed has not been promoted
by any selfish or mercenary mo
tives and, while we have severely
criticised certain parties at Bates
viHe, we have not done so with
out just cause. They placed
themselves in a position that in
vited criticism. Nor have we
written a line that was inspired
by any sort of prejudice against
Batesville. It is the rotteness of
the machine and certain persons
connected with it Unit we have
been gunning for. And judging
from the bitterness of their per
sonal denunciation of The .Jour
nal and their methods of trying
to bluff and suppress us, they
have at least been made to feel
the sling of the few volleys of
facts fired at them.
But we assure them of one
thing, they have tackled a tough
proposition when they attempt to
run a bluff over The Journal. At
least we are not going to leave
the country for a few weeks yet,
and in the meantime The Journal
will still do business at the old
stand.

Squire II. J. Drenncn, of Mag

town Wednesday and favored The
Journal office with a pleasant call.
He reports everything quiet in
his neighborhood and that help to
gather the crops is greatly in de
mand but hard to get.
When The Journal began busi
ness in Newark “Uncle” I Jen
Adams was one of the first men to
come in and subscribe and pay a
year in advance. He drove around
by our office Tuesday, renewed
and paid another year in advance.
That is the kind of subscribers
that the newspaper men appreci
ate.
Among the many ex-Confede
rates of this place and surrounding
country there is no truer believer
in the principles of right involved
in the rise and fall of the Confed
eracy than our esteemed friend T.
1J. Jackson. Mr. Jackson served
four years in the Confederate army
and endured many hardships and
privations in that memorable
struggle. But, like all other good
citizens who took part on either
side of the conflict, he now views
the matter philosophically and a I
smile of pleasure may often be
seen to flit across his countenance
as he relates some of his thrilling
experience during the times when
it took courage and cool heads to
accomplish results.

KIMBALL
The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
This combination is the cause, and the Important cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35 000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind In
shipments and is planning further large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
uf perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. Tbe incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and such advancing progress.
We solicit inquries of all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
