SOUNDS NOTE
OF WARNING
Prominent Minister Thinks the
Recall Not So Great a Men
ace as Catholicism
Editor Journal.—In the Bates
ville Guard of recent date I see an
article headed, “Ireland Denounces
Recall of Judges.” Mr. Ireland is
the Roman Catholic archbishop of
Baltimore. He was the principal
speaker at Galena, 111., on the 29th
* of April, where they celebrated
the ninetieth anniversary of the
birth of Gen. U. S. Grant. He was
loud in his praise of our “Ameri
can Democracy.” He dwelt at
length on what he was pleased to
term the “Economical Peril” and
the “Political Peril.” On the first
he gave a strong criticism of So
cialism. On the second he paid
his respects to some “proposed re
forms,” of which he said the most
fata! was the Recall of the judi
ciary.
Archbishop Ireland is no fool.
He knows that our supreme judges,
a small number of gowned, gray
headed men, in Washington, hold
the reins of our American govern
ment with a life grip; that no state
nor no group of states are above
their control; that whatsoever they
bind in Washington is bound
throughout the union. He also
knows that his friend, William
Taft, has put a Roman Catholic on
the supreme bench and that Rome
is seeking to rule our nation
through our judiciary. Let the
Vatican rule the supreme bench
and let that bench rule the nation.
Without the recall, our nation
would then be helpless in their
hands.
George Washington said: “If
the United States ever lose their
liberty, it will be through the
Komish priesthood.”
Pope Leo XIII said: “All Catho
lics must make themselves felt as
active agents in the daily political
life of countries where they live,
and they must penetrate where
ever possible in the administration
of public affairs.”
Doubtless Archbishop Ireland is
obeying Leo’s command. Mr. Ire
land has spoken before today. If
you will turn to page 322 of “Er
rors of the Roman Catholic Church”
you will find the following by this
same Archbishop Ireland: “Ameri
ca is at heart a Christian country.
As a religious system, Protestant
ism is in hopeless disolution, utter
ly valueless as a doctrinal or a
moral power and no longer to be
considered as a foe which we must
count. The Catholic church is the
sole living and enduring Christ
ianity. Our work is to make
America Catholic. Our cry shall
be: ‘God will it.’ We know that
the church is the sole owner of
truths and graces of salvation.”
I would be glad the Guard and
other papers that published the
archbishop’s speech on the recall
would hang the above extract on
as an appendix so that their Prot
estant American readers might
know the spirit of the man that is
telling Americans about their per
ils. For it is high time for Ameri
cians to think of Roman Catholi
cism, not so much as a church
with a compound creed of Judaism,
heathenism and Christianity, but
to think of her as a Foreign oath
bound political organization that
has painted history red with the
blood of her slaughtered victims.
“The Catholic Review,” edited by
Father Phelan, says “The Catholics
hold the balance of power, and
they will not permit the politicians
to forget that fact.”
Bryan and Taft have neitherone
forgotten that the said Father
Phelan, who claims to be a Demo
crat, lead his Democrat readers to
desert Mr. Bryan and vote for Mr.
Taft. Phelan then urged the ap
pointment of R. C. Kerns (a Cath
olic) to an ambassadorship for said
services.
Doubtless Mr. Ireland and Mr.
Phelan have both subscribed to
the Jesuit’s oath, wherin they have
sworn “I do now renounce and dis
own my allegiance as due to any
heretical king, Prince or state,
named Protestant or Liberals, or
obedience to any of their laws or
officers.”
Mr. Editor 1 will close this ar
ticle with some sane and patriotic
lines written by Ella Wheeler Wil
cox.
The time has come
When men with hearts and brains,
Must rise and take the misdirected
reins
Of government, too long left in the
hands '
Of Aliens and of Lackeys. He who
stands
And sees the mighty vehicle of State
Hauled thro’ the mire to some ignoble
fate,
And makes not bold protest as he can
Is no American.
Yours for a free America
J. L. Brown.

CATTLE DIPPING PR0VE5
BENEFICIAL IN IZARD
E. A. Hulsey of this place, who
was one of the strongest oppo
nents to the cattle dipping move
ment when the matter was first
being discussed here, recently
wrote to Buck Baker, a prominent
and well known citizen of Mel
bourne, and asked for information
as to the result of dipping in Izard
county, where the work has been
in operation for more than a year.
Mr. Baker is well known to many
people in this county, and is a
man whose reputation cannot be
questioned. His reply to Mr. Hul
sey was handed The Journal with
the request that it be published,
and is given below in full.
Melbourne, Ark., May 9, 1912.
Mr. E. A. Hulsey,
Newark, Arkansas.
My Dear Sir:—In answer to
your letter will say our people
generally are well pleased with
the system of dipping our cattle
for the purpose of exterminating
the fever tick. We dipped last
year and our cattle did fine. It
kills the ticks, and cattle seem to
do much better, and there is one
thing certain that I know about
it, and that is that we got from
one to three dollars a head more
for our calves and yearlings
last fall and winter than we have
been getting for them. You see
it is this way with us, under the
law vre can dip them at home and
in seven days we can drive our
cattle to a vat on the county line
and dip through the vat on the
line across into the other county
north, and then get Missouri prices
for our cattle. While 1 am not in
the stock business, I think this is
the best thing the Government
ever undertook to do for the farm
er. As I see it, the fanner is the
real beneficiary and it does not
cost him anything to get the
northern prices for his cattle.
Yours truly,
J. B. Baker.

Clarence Dugger and Miss Olga
Uhles were married at the resi
dence of Rev. and Mrs. G. L. Fink
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock,
Rev. G. L. Fink officiating.
The groom is telegraph operator
at the railroad gravel spur just
east of town and is an excellent
young man. The bride is a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Uhles of
this place, and is a most estimable
young lady. The Journal joins
their many friends in extending
congratulations and good wishes.
LIKES TO HEAR FROM
OLD FRIENDS IN NEWARK
Editor Journal.—If you will al
low me space I will write a few lines
for there are so many good old
friends in Newark I can’t write
to all. We like our new home very
well. We are all having good
health. I think this is a very
healthy place, and the valley is all
good farming land. The people
have fine orchards here. They
put them on the hillsides. The hills
are pretty rough, but they raise
some fine alfalfa and red clover.
It looks odd to us to see the mead
ow on a hillside so steep you can’t
go up it with a wagon and team
and so many rocks you can’t see
the ground. There will not be
any peaches this year where we
live, but there are lots of apples.
We have had one of the coldest
winters I ever saw. At times it has
been 22 below zero and have had
snow most all winter. At times
the snow was 18-to-20 inches deep.
We are sure glad spring is here.
It is cool enough for frost here
now, if it was clear. We haven’t
got very much farming done yet,
it has stayed so wet.
Well I am glad to hear of the
school there doing so well, but
Newark is pretty hard to be beat
on anything. We have good
schools here.
Well I guess 1 have written
enough this time. Please let us
know when our time is due to pay
for another year for The Journal,
for it is like a letter from home,
sweet home. So 1 will close by ask
ing all of my friends to remember
me in their prayers.
Mrs. L. E. Wilson.
Willow Springs, Mo., May 14.
ENDORSE CALDWELL
Discussing the situation in this
county with regard to the vacancy
on the Democratic ticket for repre
sentative, the Wynne Progress
says:
“The voters of Independence
county could not do better than to
select W. J. Caldwell. We have
known him intimately for a num
ber of years and know him to be
made of material that does things.
Mr. Caldwell was born and reared
just a few miles south of this city,
and has many friends here who
heartily endorse him. Whatever
way may be determined to select
a successor for the deceased nomi
nee, we sincerely hope Mr. Cald
well will be successful.’’
NO REFLECTION INTENDED
In discussing the contest over
the nomination for county judge,
Judge A. J. Craig stated to a Jour
nal representative Wednesday
that he had no desire or intention
of humiliating anyone through the
filing of their name in his list of
alleged illegal voters in the re
cent primary. His list was made
up from the official poll-tax list,
which would naturally be consid
ered the most authentic source of
information on this subject. He
thought the list was, in the main,
correct, but as is always true of
any matters involving so many
people, errors have been discover
ed. He did not order the publica
tion of the names, but when filed
with the secretary of the com
mittee the list was subject to pub
lic inspection and thereby got into
the newspapers.
NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that we
desire bids for the construction of
about two miles of concrete side
walks, as per blue print and speci
fications which may be seen at the
Mayor’s office at Newark or at the
office of the Miller Engineering
Co., at Little Rock. Said bids to be
opened and considered the first
Monday in July, 1912. The suc
cessful bidder will be required to
give an approved bond. We re
serve the right to reject any and
all bids. G. M. Fields,
F. C. Hoyt,
T. J. Raney,
Commissioners of Sidewalk Im
provement District No. 1, of New
ark, ‘Ark.
DIRECT VOTE ON SENATORS
Both houses of the national con
gress have passed a joint resolu
tion providing for an amendment
to the federal constitution to per
mit the election of U. S. senators
by direct vote of the people. The
matter is now up to President
Taft and after being appoved by
him must be ratified by the states.
DIP CATTLE SATURDAY

Saturday and will charge the cat
tle dipping vat. All parties who
have cattle they desire to have
dipped, and those who desire to
witness a demonstration of the
work are invited to be present.
Everything will be ready to begin
dipping Saturday morning.
NOTICE TO TEACHERS
The regular June institute for
the teachers of Independenceeoun
ty will be held at Batesville, Ark.,
during the week beginning Mon
day, June 3, 1912. All teachers are
required by law to attend.
Sidney Pickens,
County Examiner.
THE COMMITTEE
SHOULD APPOINT
Precedent Cited to Show That
Central Committee flay Fill
Vacancy on Ticket
Editor Journal.- With reference
to the vacancy in the Democratic
ticket caused by the death of Mr.
Stroud, I heartily agree with you
and the Guard in the manner of
filling the same. The appointment
of Mr. Caldwell by the central com
mittee would be satisfactory to
every Democrat in the county, un
less it is someone who imagines he
is needed to “save the country”
himself. There is no law bearing
on the subject. It is a question
w'holly in the hands of the com
mittee. They are elected by the
Democrats of the county to act for
the best interests of the party.
They alone have the management
of the primary and every detail of
the organization of the party is in
their hands. They are elected for
the purpose of serving the party
to its best interests. There are but
three courses to pursue: Fill the
vacancy by appointment, call an
other primary or do nothing. The
latter course would mean for ev
ery Democrat to run that wants to
and the Republicans would elect
a representative. You see they
have held their convention but
passed up the question of putting
out a ticket, hoping to catch us
“napping.”
Both you and the Guard fully
explained the inadvisability of
holding another primary election
and also the wisdom of filling the
vacancy by the appointment of Mr.
Caldwell. Most every Democrat I
have heard express himself favors
the idea. A very few have said
they would favor it, if the com
mittee had the authority. I con
tend they have the right. If not,
why not? There is no law what
ever on the subject, but there is
plenty of precedent.
I think it was two years ago, the
nominee for assessor in Sharp
county whipped his wife, ran his
father-in-law off, and raised Cain
generally. The central committee
declared the place vacant and fill
ed the same by appointment. The
nominee for sheriff in White coun
ty became involved in a scandal.
The central committee asked for
his resignation, which he declined.
Whereupon the committee declar
ed the place vacant and filled it by
appointment. The nominee for ^
circuit clerk of Columbia county*^
died and the central committe filled
the vacancy by appointment. All
of which appointments were ap
proved by the people by their
elections.
We have had enough politics
and don’t want a republican elect
ed, so let the central committee
fill the vacancy by the appoint
ment of Mr. Caldwell.
