What 1ms Senator .I ones over
accomplished in public life that
has so endeared him to some peo
ple i ________
We notice that candidates for
municipal offices in many of the
near-by towns are announcing in
the papers.
The house passed the newspaper
and stamp bill Wednesday over
the governor's veto. Jeff seems
to be getting it in the neck from
every direction.
There were five negro guests
present at a recent social function
at the White House, and they
were there by invitation, too.
How's that for an insult to de
cency t _
The Monroe County Sun won
ders if the legislature four years
hence will elect Jeff Davis P* sue
ceed James II. Berry. Not if
"Fel" Brundidge makes the race
against Davis; for if Mr. Brun
didge runs, he will be S *nator
Brundidge four years from now.
The- Newport News seems to
think that Arkansas sustained an
irreparable loss when St nator
Jones was retired, but the Kansas
City Star entertains a somewhat
different view of the situation. It
says: “Janies 1’. Clarke, who was
elected United States senator from
Arkansas, need not lie a colossal
statesman to till the vacancy caus
ed by the retirement of James K,
Jones.”
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
Kings. Like other weeds it’s
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes im
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott’s Emulsion. Salt pork
i > good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump
tion is when, you begin trying
JO ' hie1 - ' it from yourself,
^Others see it, you won’t.
Don’t wait until you can’t
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn’t really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump
tion you can’t expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
beo-in in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air,
rest alt you can, eat all you
can, that’s the treatment’and
that’s the best treatment.
We will send you
a little of the Emul
sion t;ec.

It is said that Secretary of War
Root will resign from the cabinet
within a few months. We trust
that Ruzey will not forget his
friend, Booker Washington, when
he goes to appoint Root's succes
sor.
The legislature adopted a reso
lution allowing its members thirty
copies of a daily paper ($1.50) and
25 cents worth of stamps a day.
The papers are supposed to be for
distribution among their constit
uents. Puazle: Find the man

The Arkansas Gazette is pub
lishing a better report of the pro
ceedings of the legislature than
any paper in Little Rock. In fact,
the Gazette's state news service
has improved considerably in the
past few months and it is improv
ing in every respect. We have
always entertained a very kindly
feeling toward the Gazette and
hope it may continue t-o improve
until it becomes the best paper in
the South-west,
Governor Davis vetoed the bill
allowing members of the legisla
ture thirty copies of a daily paper
and in explaining why he did so
said that it was unconstitutional,
and that it tended to increase the
compensation of the members of
the assembly by the members now
in the session; that it was neither
a necessary nor a contingent ex
pense, but, on the other hand, was
an unnecessary expense, and was
premeditated. lie quoted at length
from an opinion rendered by Sen
ator Clarke while he was attorney
general on this same bill and quot
ed the endorsement of Attorney
General Murphy of this opinion.
The governor further objected to
i the bill because it cut out the eoun
| try papers from participation in
i the benefits. He memtioned the
j probable cost as being about *10,
000, and said he thought this
amount could lie spent with a
great deal more benefit to the peo
ple of the state. This is the best
j thing Governor Davis has done in
j a year and The .Journal heartily
i indorses his action in this matter.
IK)ME PRINT \ 8. PATENT.
The Cotton Plant Courier G mis
j taken. We never said that patent
| side papers have no reason to ex
| ist: but we did say that their so
I called news service was nothing to
j brag about, and wo still say so.
Hut “exist” beautifully describes
the career of most patent papers.
They, as a rule, never attain any
prominence in the world and the
people have but little confidence
in them; for when a publisher
adopts patents he thereby adver
tises the fact that he hasn't enough
confidence in his own ability a> a
newspaper man to attempt to pub
lish a paper entirely of his own
efforts and in his own establish
ment.
I heoditor of I lie Journal began
his newspaper career from the
ranks of the country newspaper
rondel's and we know whereof we
speak when we say that the people
i on whom depends the success or
I failure of a newspaper the sub
seribers are quick to recognize
and appreciate the superiority of
! the all home-print paper over the
j one that uses patent insides*
As to appearanee. which our es
teemed eon fere will not attempt to
deny, adds materially to success
or failure in the newspaper busi
ness, the Courier \irtuall.v admits
that the all home-print paper has
a decided advantage over the one
using ready-prints.
W’e can name a list of the four
teen most prosperous and influen
tial papers in North-easi Arkansas
land in the list are only two patent
1 papers. Tin* people as a rule, are
n pretty good judge of the merits
of newspapers and this shows that
they are decidedly in favor of the
home-print paper.
Hut the Courier's assert km that
The Journal would contain more
reading matter if it would adopt
patents, is. of itself, good evidence
that the Courier man is mentally
| unbalanced or is not on speaking
terms with the truth.

Recorder’s Report on Population.
I have made a close canvass of
our town in taking the enumera
tion of the inhabitants and find the
following:
Males ..420.
Females.451.
Total.871.
I find .1. H. Wells to be the old
est man, age 79. W. .1. Freeze
and wife have the youngest boy
baby, age 12 days. Aunt Elz
Deecord is the oldest lady, age 73.
T. II. Dealing and wife have the
youngest girl baby, age 30 days.
1 find the home of all generally
in good health, and believe that
we have as healthy a town as can
be found in the state.
Newark has always given a cor
dial welcome to all respectable;
people seeking a home and we in
vite such to come and see our town
and farming lands before buying
in other localities,
Newark is given up by all travel
ing men to be one of the best busi
ness towns of its size in the state
and our farming lands are similar
to the famous valley of the Nile.
New homes have sprung up in
Newark like mushrooms during
the past three years.

This admission was the result of |
his discovery that his denial was
not believed.
“What, shall ho thought of the

At the Louisiana Purchase Exposi

curious thousands to get front
seats for a view of a people whose
executive head declares that he
has not the mind, memory or con
science to know whether he was
*era/.,\ or had his hands behind
him’ when he, as the attorney
general, signed away their rights
by a contract which he now calls
iniquitous.

impossible that Arkansas can re
ceive any favorable attention at

to be ft strong demand that we take

LOOK OUT
For Colds—La Grippe!
Protect yourself, and don’t trust to
Providence. Considering the harm
done, “neglect” before and after taking
a cold is a physical crime. You may
prevent a cold, or, if too late, you can
insure yourself against the “aftei ef.
ects,” for there is the greatest danger,
by using Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die of the after effects.
These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come flocking a host of
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, but if too late to do that,
then you must see that no lastiug in
jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting element of
tiie blood enabling the system not only
to ward off disease, but to fight it after
nit has obtained a foot
hold.
Jr Dr. HARTER’S
\ IRON TONIC
is just the remedy need<d, as it sup
plies the blood directly with the iron it
requires to combat Colds or La Grippe.
Take it before, during, or after. If
taken in time, it will prevent; if taken
during, it will shorten the course ; if
taken after, it will prevent all bad after
effects.
Women are especially benefited by
Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, as they seem to
suffer from the weakness of Colds and
La Grippe longer than men, and they
are particularly susceptible to the action
of a blood builder such as this is.

fix a good admission foe and show
him off as an executive curiosity.
In this way, in addition to the
very desirable enhancement of our
notoriety, we might raise money
enough to build the annex to the
insane asylum and the gymnasium
to the Arkansas university he
claims to be so anxious to have
and make a good start on our new
state capitol. If we must expend
money for this exposition, let us
adopt such course as will promise
some return.
“When he says he was ‘crazy or
had his hand behind him' he seeks
to leave us in too much uncertain
ly- If he was insane then and is
not now he ought to know it. If
he was then holding his hand be
liind him for something to be put
into it by the brick company he
ought to know that. His con
scious uncertainty as to which of j
these situations he was in justifies i
us in thinking it not unreasonable
to conclude that he may have been '
in both- Hut if he was insane his
insanity was of the moral type, i
and although we have no personal
knowledge or specific information i
as to the particular “environ- !
ments” of his involuntary start to!
the light of day, his extreme care
for the safety of his person pre
cludes the idea of any subsequent [
injury and forces the conclusion]
that it was also of the eongential;
class.
“Ho lmd scarcely boon inaugu- j
rated as governor when he began
to ascribe this contract to the new
members of tin* penitentiary board,
who had nothing to do with its
making and to seek every possible
opportunity to traduce them on
account of it. Wherever, he could
get a chance to make a stump
speech in their absence he charged
them with all its alleged evils; and 1
on the 10th of August, lie
even went so far as to give a libel
ous interview to the St Louis (i lobe
Democrat, one of the most in
fluential rebublienn newspapers in
the United States falsely charging
them with inhumanity in connec
tion with it. falling little short of
murder, when he knew that they
had, with his assistance, framed
one of t he best systems of rules
for the humane treatment of con
victs ever devised by any board of
penitentiary management.
“Viewing the part of the mes
sage under consideration in the
light of the governor’-, letter and
stump speeches, what shall we say
of it and its author? Ordinarily
it would bo called downright ly
ing, hut perhaps it would lie bet
ter here to call it constitutionally
morbid prevarication. That it i,
untrue is undeniable.’’
