OUR BUSINESS GOVERNOR
The recent special election cost
the state no less than $20,(XX), and
all the people get out of it is the
knowledge that they have grati
fied Govornor Donaghey’s desire
to put one of his friends in office.
There was absolutely no neces
sity for the special election, and
Governor Donaghey’s course in
the matter gives a serious black
eye to his boasted promise that he
would give the state a business
administration.
Why does The Journal say there
was no necessity for the special
election?
Because it is a fact, as we will
show, and because it was pure ex
travagance and savors too much of
the same brand of rotten petty
politics, and dirty, despicable
demagoguery that has held sway
in Arkansas, to her detriment, for
the past six or eight years.
Here is the littleness and ex
travagance of the thing: Hast
winter when the legislature enact
ed a law appropriating $50,000 to
be used by the state in the railroad
litigation involving the validity of
the two-cent fare law, and author
izing the governor to appoint a
lawyer to assist Attorney General
Norwood in prosecuting the suit,
Governor Donaghey could not find
a lawyer in the state capable of
doing the job without taking a
judge ofF the supreme bench, al
though there is probably a thou
sand lawyers in the state, many of
whom have won success and dis
tinction in their profession.
So he appointed Chief Justice
Hill of the supreme court. This
created a vacancy, which, of
course, had to be filled. So the
governor appointed Associate Jus
tice McCulloch as chief justice,
thus temporarily filling one vacan
cy by creating another. Sam
Frauenthal, of the governor’s
home town of Conway, was then
appointed associate justice.
After thus proceeding to tear
down the work the people had
done, by removing men from the
offices to which the people elected
them, he called a special election
to fill vacancies that he alone was
responsible for, thus entailing up
on the people an expense of at
least $20,000 or $25,000.
And what have the people gain
ed by it? And where has the
state been benefited?
Where was the necessity for all i
this, and what have we got in re
turn for the money thin spent?
Such “statesmanship,” or “busi
ness ability,” is worse than child’s
play; yet it has cost the taxpayers
of the state at least a cool twenty
thousand dollars.
Vet we are living under the
bonsted “business administration”
of a great “business man,” whose
friends, only a few short months
ago, delighted in pointing out the
many advantages that would
accrue to the state in the election
of a “business man” for governor.
LET'S BUILD A PARK
A nice little public park where
some forms of innocent amuse
ment could be enjoyed by the peo
ple, would be a good thing for
Newark. Our people are too much
inclined to neglect the social and
recreative side of life. Business
and work should, of course, have
the right-of-way, and should come
first, but the man who occasion
ally turns loose of his work and
plays a little, usually accomplishes
more in the end than the fellow
who ties himself down to one eter
nal grind and never takes any
recreation. Besides, what has a
man gained, even though he accu
mulate a fortune, if he ties him
self down to one eternal grind of
work and shuts out all the joys
and pleasures of life? The man
who does this becomes selfish and
narrow, and the world, to him, is
no larger than the area over which
he circulates in his daily avocation
and the distance from where
he eats and sleeps to the place
where he works.
The people of Newark could not
invest money to better purpose
than in making a nice little park
in some central location, where
the people could meet in the even
ings and on special occasions and
have band concerts, light amuse
ments and social gatherings.
The drainage movement in
northeast Arkansas and southeast
Missouri is gaining in favor, and
it will only be a few years until
that entire section will be drained
and land that was once considered
worthless is becoming the most
valuable land in that part of the
state. Two drainage canals, each
thirteen miles long, are being dug
in the western part of Clay coun
ty, and work is progressing on
another canal to be thirty miles in
length running through the east
ern portion of Clay and Green
counties. The Journal would like
to see the people of this communi
ty get together on the drainage
question, and do a little digging
instead of so much lawing.
The mayor of Tombstone, Ariz.,
has had his hair cut Perhaps you
think that’s a joke, but it isn’t. In
1*9H he vowed that scissors should
never touch his hair again until
VV. J. Iiryan was elected president.
That was nearly thirteen years ago
and he kept his vow until a few
days ago, when he concluded that
the statute of limitation had run
against the Iiryan vow, and so his
long flowing hair which had grown
until it covered his shoulders, was
operated upon by the barber.

Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time. Very
few people can spare the

a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time

that you take Nyal’s Hot

its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.

MRS. G. DAVENPORT,

almost invariably relieved with
Dr. Miles’Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri

cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you ? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it docs not benefit he will return
your money.
