FRIDAY, APRIL li, WIO
4 TRICK THAT FAILED
“My Dear Friend:-! am at home
for a few days trying to attend
Jo some law business. There
' is a gang up in Washington that
are endeavoring to do me all the
harm they can, but 1 trust my
friends will pay no attention to
them.
I am taking no public interest
in the Governor’s race, Gut I want
to write to a few of my personal
friends, such as you, and urge
them to do all they can for Kava
naugh. He is my friend and 1
think it is high time that Arkansas
was rid of Donaghey, Remmel,
Powell Clayton and that gang.
“Since I came home 1 find that
every Republican in Arkansas is
for Donaghey, and especially
those who were in the Powell
Clayton malitia. This ought to be
enough to satisfy any true Demo
crat how to vote.
“Please do not use my name
publicly in this matter because 1
do not want to be mixed up in it:
treat this letter confidential, but 1
wish you would put the boys on
notice, and if necessary, just a day
or two before the primary put
them on horses and send them into
the back townships and tell them
what we want done results are
what we want, and 1 hope that you
will see to it that ytJur county
comes up all right.
“1 will be here until next week
and 1 wish I could see you before
J leave for Washington.
Your friend,

During a visit to Little Rock
just before the recent Democratic
primary, several thousand of the
above letters,written on bis official
stationery, were sent out all over
the state by .Senator Jeff Davis.
It seems that his experience in
the gubernatorial campaign two
years ago ought to have cured
Senator Davis of this butting-in
habit.
The people are paying Senator
Davis a month to represent
them in the United States senate,
and we believe they will agree
with us that he can come a great
deal nearer earning the money by
staying in Washington and attend
ing to his business than he can by
trying to dictate to the people as
to who they shall elect to office.
It is said that in some counties
every one of Jeff's former friends
received one of these letters just a
day or two before the election, ami
wc know that several of them
rent parties in Inde
ty.
asy to see that .lo ti's
of K&vanaugh did
the returns show

THt OPTIMIST
The optimist, while he sees
much of the evil, sees also much
[of the good. He sees more of the
! beauty, hears more of the music
in the everyday allairs of life.
His mental vision is keener, and
his spiritual insight deeper. His
whole view of life is one of prom
ise.
When the problems, vexations
and temptations come he stands
squarely in his path, and by atti
tude and expression declares his
tirm belief in the. ultimate good.
He has many experiences and
sometimes he fails; but he rises
stronger in resolution for having
discovered a weakness.
There is in him something that
never yields. He looks upon evil
as something to be overcome.
He makes effort, and in propor
tion to this he elevates himself to
a higher plane of living.
He has a mission in the world,
arid proceeds to do his work,which
is usually done without demon
stration. His force is like the
sublime forces of the universe
silent, but always acting.
Like the pessimist, his life and
thoughts are contagious; unlike
the pessimist, he is always wel
come. If the two come face to
face, he will never yield to the
latter’s influence. He knows that
eternal truth and principles of
right are working through him,
and he believes in their ultimate
triumph. _
Hr. S. A. lvnapp, of the l'. S.
Department of Agriculture, says
that within the past two years Ark
ansas has made a greater advance
in agricultural education than any
state in the union. Arkansas is at
tracting more favorable attention
than ever before in her history,
and The Journal believes the state
is going to make more rapid pro
gress along all lines during the
next few years than any state in
the entire Southwest.
The Journal is pleased to note
the interest, the railroads are talc
ing in the development of Arkan
sas. They are perhaps doing more
to advertise the resources of the
state than any other agency m-t
at tins time. The "Story of an
Arkansas Farm,’’ recently pub
lished in the Saturday Evening
Post, has been issued in booklet
form by the Iron Mountain and is
being sciitterd broadcast over the
North East. The same company
bought several thousand copies of
a St. Louis newspaper containg an
illustrated write-up of the Arkan
sas Land Congress recently held
at Little Hock, and these also were
mailed broadcast over the entire
country. No doubt many good
citizens will be brought to the
state as a result of the booster
campaign inaugurated by the rail
roads. _
Earle \Y. Hodges who was nom
inated for secretary of state in the
recent Democratic primary, was
born in a log house near Newark.
He is a son of d. 15. Hodges and
wife, formerly Teresa Hum
phreys. Earle is only 2s years
old, and when he is inaugurated
secretary of the state next .Jan
uary, will bear the distinction of
being the youngest man who ever
held that position in the I'nited
States. __________
We all admire a certain amount
of independence in a man or wom
an, but none of us can be absolute
ly independent. W e are all more
nr less dependent upon each other,
and the overly independent person
is apt to find himself somewhat
isolated and out of harmony with
his fellovvmen.
Within yourself lies tho cause of
whatever eDtoi'- into your life. To
come into the full realization of
your own awakened powers is to be
able to condition your life in ex
act accord with what you would
have it. Ralph Waldo Kmcrson.
The Democratic County < on
\ cut ion in Jackson county asked
Senator John II. Keel to resign,
but up to a late hour last night we
had heard no noise over in that
direction that sounded like a resig
nation. _
There are lots of people in the
world who have no more moral
backbone than a grubworm, and
you don't have to leave Newark
to find some of them.
Senator Davis said he found
every Republican for Donaghey
It seems from the recent election
that there were a few Democrats
for him, too.
The people these days can't be
fooled as easily as a lot of fellows i
seem to think.

Rev. J. I. Martin Writes From
Points in Jackson County
Mr. Editor.—A few notes from
different parts of the country
might be of interest to some of
your many readers.
I left home the first of April to
till my regular appointment at
Auvergne. I notice most of the
farmers between Elgin and New
port are well advanced with their
work.
1 find the friends of .Judge Sim
mons greatly disappointed over his
defeat. While he was not openly
fought on the whiskey question,
it is freely admitted that that is
what beat him. The thing to do
now is for the temperance forces j
to organize, and carry the county
for prohibition in the September
' election.
1 am glad that some who were
| asking for ollice in our county
|(Independence) have gone up Salt
' river, and it is to be hoped that
they will never return, politically.
But the battle is not over. When
the September election comes let
; us carry the Brown amendment
, for county prohibition by a good
majority.
On this trip 1 was at McCrory
| and visited my old friend, W. .M.
Kceting, who lives four miles
north of there. lie lias a line
farm and is doing well. He was
once a citizen of our county and
lived near Sulphur Rock. This is
a beautiful country and one of the
finest farming sections in the en
tire state. I am told that the a\
erage crop is three-fourths of a
hale of cotton and 25 to 50 bushels
of corn per acre, and hay and
other crops in proportion. The
best land is of a sandy loam; no
rocks, but there are some -la-bes.
But it is only a matter of time un
til these will be drained.
At this writing I am at Balch, in
Jackson county. There has been
a number of barns burned in this
section by incendiaries, it is
thought, a- no cause can be as
signed. Why any man would
want to destroy property is rather
strange.
I may go from here to Craig
head and Cross counties before I
return, as I am in the state mis
sion work. Any place wanting
my s >rvices can address me at

Headache
For Years
"I keep 1 >r. Miles' Anti-Pain
Pi! -, on hand all the time, and
would not think of taking a
journey without them, no mat
ter how short a distance I am
going. I have a sister that has
had terrible headaches for years,
and 1 coaxed her to try them
and they helped Iter so much, 1
she now keeps them by her all :
the time. From my own exper- :
ienre I cannot praise them ;
enough.” fj

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without sufTer
ing. Those who suffer in this
war should try Dr. Miles’ Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.
