FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1906
Well, its all over now,
ing the bills.
The legislature convenes at Lit
tle Rock the 14th of January; then
we’ll all have something to talk
about. __
Suppose a lot of your friends
should get up a birthday celebra
tion in your honor and then get
drunk and make a donkey of them
selves generally. Would you feel
very much honored, or would
you, if you had the power, walk
up and kick them over into the
tdle of next week?
let’s all spit on our hands
,t ready to make a strong
.ted pull for the advance
id upbuilding of Newark,
rnal would like to see her
irward during 1907 more
than she has ever done, i
very man in town will re
join the boosters and quit
ng, she will do it.
■MrSome negro soldiers ran amuck
■At Leavenworth, Kan., Christmas

^^^^^■^vded street ear. After the
^^ffljjjAsvi11 e riot, which resulted
dishonorable discharge of
^^Three companies of negro soldiers
r for similar conduct, it seems that
the negro soldiers would be good. |
But the average negro loses his j
equilibrium when placed in a po-,
sition where he thinks he has a lit
tle authority, and the government
makes a mistake in enlisting ne
groes in the array. v
OFFICIAL NEGLIGENCE
The officers of the town have
Tepeatedly stated that they were
Teady and willing to do their duty
in enforcing the law against the
blind tigers in Newark. Several
days ago the citizens took the
initiative and swore out warrants
for some of the offenders. They
were arrested, arraigned before
the mayor and their trials set for
a later date. They were released ■
without bond, or at least some of
them were, and two of the most
guilty, not liking the sudden turn
affairs had taken, quietly left for
parts unknown.
I The Journal is not informed as
L' m who >s to blame for this act of
official negligence, but it is very
plain that some one is guilty of i
gross neglect of duty.
When a man is arrested for the
commonest offense against the law
and is not ready for trial, he is
invariably required to give
bond for his appearance. Hut
here we find parties arrested
an offense, which, if you will take
the trouble to look up the law on
the cases and note the penalties
for its violation, you will at least
admit is worse than the common
est, but the accused are turned
loose without bond.
Does this look like the officers
are ready and willing to do their
duty * The Journal is free to con
fess that it does not look that way
to us.
One man who violates the law
should be shown no more favors
at the hands of the officers than
any other man, regardless of who
lie may be or what offense he has
committed; that is, of course,
among ordinary offenses.
The Journal makes this state
ment with no personal ill will or
prejudice against any of the ofli
cers or an.v of the accused—we
consider all of them as our friends
—but there is already an impres
sion among many people of the
community that some of the ofli
cers are in league with the joint
keepers, and such acts as these
serve to deepen the impression.
How can the officers expect the
people to have any eonlidence in
them when they permit such as
thisf
No wonder the people are criti
cising the officers, and unless they
make amends and begin to do
something toward better enforc
ing the law as it should be, they
may expect a more scathing ar
raignment from the people than
they have .yet received.

Got a Cold?
The average person
can safely count on
having a cold this time
of year, sooner or lat
er. Everyone has his
choice of cough syrup,
but more people are
using White Pine
Cough Syrup with Tar
than anything else,
because it stops the
cough, cures the cold
and heals the lungs.
Try a bottle. Price
25 cents. Satisfaction
or your money back.

SAVING HABIT A GOOD ONE
It Is an Acquired Trait Which Comes
by Cultivation and Is Always
Invaluable.
Individuals who save and accu
mulate sums of money for lucrative
investment are individuals wild
form the habit of saving, says the
Seat tie Post-Intelligencer.
To he prodigal of your resources
is natural. It is a survival of the
primal nature. Saving is an ac
quired trait. It is necessary,
therefore, to form habits that are
conducive to economy. Many men
and women who work for wages or
salaries find it difficult to save
unless some circumstance forces
them to it. The fact that this in
dulgence only means a dollar or a
dime, as the case may be, is regard
ed as a sufficient excuse to spend
the money.
It will take a long time to ac
quire a fortune by laying up the
odd pieces of change. Vet many
great institutions derive their en
tire patronage from dimes, nickels
and even pennies. The habit of
saving means the saving of the
little denominations. It is to curb
the inclination to spend money
simply because the denomination
is insignificant. Anyone can
save the dollars, big hills and gold
pieces.
That the prodigal side of man is
understood is found in the devices
for catching the pennies and the
dimes. To offset this and to en
courage him to lay by a portion of
his earnings, savings banks and
the mont lily payment plan for real
estate, property assurance, etc..
are in existence. ()ur wealth is our
property. In tin* possession of
property is centered "our material
well-being, our prosperity.
The habit of saving, if persisted
in, will make all men possessors of
property. The value of that prop
erty and the measure of our well
being will depend upon the amount
of our accumulations and the
measure of our desires. A thrifty
people is a contented people. Im
providence results in want and
suffering. Habits of saving will
contribute to individual happi
ness. and to general prosperity in
proportion as the habit of saving,
thriftiness, becomes a habit com
mon to all the people.
TWO GREAT GENERALS.
Wellington and Washington Had a
Sort of Sympathy for
Each Other.
When I entered the Strathfield
saye drawing-room for the tiisr
time with the duke of Wellington’s
eldest son and heir, I was sur
prised and delighted to see one of
Gilbert Stuart’s noble portraits Of
Washington occupying the place
of honor in the handsome apart
ment, says Cornhill’s Magazine.
‘•Where did you find that tine
picture?” asked the American.
“O,” said the second duke, “my
father hung it there almost half a
century ago.”
I then inquired: “Did your
father admire Washington?”
“My father,” was the duke’s re
ply, “deemed Washington the pur
est and noblest character of mod
ern time—possibly of all time—
and considering the raw troops
with which he had to oppose the
trained and veteran soldiers of
England, also a great general.”
Another interesting statement
which the second duke made to me
was that when his father was as
signed to the command of an expe
dition to be sent out against the
city of Washington and New Or
leans in 1814. he declined the com
mand chiefly on the ground that
he would not tight against Wash
ington's countrymen.
And when his government asked
for the names of three officers
from whom a commander could be
selected. Wellington wrote: “Sir
Edward Pakenham. Sir Edward
Pakenham, Sir Edward Paken
ham.”
And so poor Sir Edward, his
brother-in-law, was sent to New
Orleans to meet his death in the
most disastrous defeat ever sus
tained by a British army.

FRANCE’S GREAT CARICATURIST.
_L_
Caran d’Ache, the famous
French caricaturist, {rives this
account of his first caricature.
One day while serving in the
army as a young man he called
on M. Detaille, the famous mili
tary painter. “Detaille,” he says,
“received ine kindly, and advised
me to go on. ‘But before I give
you a definite decision, go back
to barracks and draw me some
thing fresh,’ said he, ‘and bring
it to me next week, and I will
give you an opinion.’ ” Caran
d’Ache went back to barracks
and attempted to draw the regi
mental scullion. Impossible! As
long as the idiot stood there look
ing at me with his mouth wide
open I could make nothing of
him, so, with absolute injustice
I gave him two days’ ‘cells’ for
being such a fool, and gave it up.
| Next day. on a piece of writing
| paper I drew my scullion from
I memory!” And so Caran
d’Aclie’s first great caricature
wras made.
