FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1908
The county campaign promises to be
a warm affair before it is over with.
Resentment is proper and profitable
at times, but the wise person is the
one who knows how and when to sac
rifice a litle pride to win a big point.
While the United States lias only 2
per cent of the world's population, it
produces 20 per cent of the world’s
wheat, 2 per cent of gold, 33 per cent
of its coal. 35 per cent of its manufac
tures, 30 per cent of its silver, 40 per
cent of its iron, 42 per cent of its steel,
f>2 per cent of its petroleum, 55 per
cent of its copper, 70 per cent of its
cotton, and 80 per cent of its corn.
The Pulaski county grand jury is
■now at work examining witnesses in
connection with the legislative boodle
investigation of the 1905 session, it
is said that a number of indictments of
a very sensational character will be
returned before the present session of
the jury is oler. The investigation,
it is said, is being conducted along
the lines indicated by Mr. Photon in
his address delivered in Little Rock
recently. He stated at that time that
he had positive proof against fifteen
senators and prominent officials of the
Iron Mountain railroad which he
would lay before this grand jury.
The Farmers Union was a “grand
institution" to Senator Davis when
they invited him to come to Monroe
county and make a speech: but when
he undertook to get Ben Griffin to run
lor secretary of state, ami Ben had too
•. ualciuti,su> *«ui loyalty to the
organization of the Farmers Union to
Ik1 made a tool of by Davis, why then
Senator Davis became alarmed over
tho “probability of Ben Griffin using
the Farmers Union vote for himself or
some one else." A pretty kettle of
fish, this. The farmers of Arkansas
object to being ordered around by any
one, and it is the opinion of the writer
that when Senator Davis attempts to
“rally the old guard" this time in the
interests of Kirby he will find them
“just a little independent.” The com
mon people of Arkansas have stood
by Jeff Davis because they believed lie
was for their interests against political
bosses, but when he attempts to play
the boss over them they will not stand i
for it.—Monroe County Citizen.
IS THE UNION IN JEOPARDY?
From its very beginning, the Farm
ers’ Union has been opposed to politi
cal entanglements.
That isoneof itscarndinalprinciples.
It has so far succeeded in doing so,
although it appears that there is some
one or some power that is endeavor
ing to drive in a political wedge that
unless prevented, will split the Union
into factions that will ruin the in
fluence of the organization.
The Farmers Union has become a
power in Arkansas and the South, and
this is due to the fact that it has es
chewed politics.
No one can befieve that only one or
any interest purely political controls
the Union membership, or any consid
erable part of it, to such an extent
that it can be sold and delivered.
If this were possible, the day of the
Union's usefulness would be passed.
Individual political independence
has been the key to the Union's suc
cess thus far, and this must not be de
nied the membership if the Union
would continue to wield an influence
for mutual good.
As soon as an organization becomes
a polical machine it will be manipu
lated by machine politicans for fac
tional aggrandizement and personal
cat’s-paws, and its original mission is
lost.
The Farmers’ Union is facing a crisis
in Arkansas, and its officers must see
to it that it is met manfully and em
phatically.
The officers have denied all charges
of polical connivance, and one goes
so far that he will notVisit the head
quarters of a candidate who is his per
sonal friend, for fear his motives will
be misconstrued.
All charges brought against the Un
ion that it has l>een “sold" have been
refuted, but intimations continue to be
made thlt it is “for sale" like so many
cattle that may be driven into the
shambles of the purchaser.
It is this insidious insinuation
against the integrity of the organiza
tion that must be resented.—Arkansas
Democrat.
HOW TO RAISE BOYS
“Thar aint much of a problem in
raisin' boys ef you’ll have a little
common-sense about it,” said Mr.
Billy Sanders. “Don’t let ’em rur
wild WHt) pigH \ti woods, an' don’1
keep the lines too tight, an’ whei
thing’s go wrong don't be afear’d o
usin’ a raw-hide. But don't fergi'
that the mammies an' daddies of the
land are twice responsible when one oJ
the’r boys goes wrong. Ef the legis
latur’ wants to do a good work, an’
make better citizens out’n the risin’
generation, let it put a heavy penalty
on the dear parents of the boys that
go wrong." Joel Chandler Harris, in
Uncle Remus’s Magazine.

HOW HE HAS
MADE A SUCCESS
L. T. Cooper Tells Chicago Reporter Why
He Accomplishes So Much. {
No man In recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than L. T. Cooper. During his
stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily, he
gave the following reason for the re
markable demand for his medicine to
a reporter:
Mr. Cooper said: “My New Discov
ery is successful because it corrects
the stomach. My theory is that few
can be sick if the digestive apparatus
is working properly. It naturally fol
lows that few can be well with a poor
digestion.
"I know from experience that most
of the tired, half-sick people that are
so common now-a-days have half-sick
stomachs. Put the stomach in shape,
and nature does the rest. The result
is general good healfh. My medicine
does this. That is why fifty thousand
people here in Chicago are using it
who never heard of me until a month
ago.”
• Among the fifty thousand mentioned
by Mr. Cooper wrho used his medicine
in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pfiueger, liv
ing at 1203 Ainslie Avenue. This is
the statement she makes concerning
her experience with the medicine:
“I have been sick for six years with
stomach trouble. I was always hun-|
gry, but did not dare to eat much, as
I had severe pains in my stomach, and
also through my body. I could not
sleep at night and was very restless.
I was also very nervous, and would
have severe headaches. I was consti
pated, and always felt bloated after*
eating.
“I had tried many remedies, but
could secure no relief, until one day I
noticed in the newspapers what won
derful results Cooper’s medicines were
accomplishing in Chicago. I decided
to try them, and shortly after com
mencing the treatment I began to feel
better. I did not have those severe
pains in my stomach, and I could sleepi
at night; my appetite improved, and
I can now eat well. I am feeling like
a new woman.
“I am very thankful to Mr. Cooper
for what his remedies have done for
me. They have restored me to good
health, and I would advise any one
who suffers as I did to try them.”
We sell the Cooper medicines. They;
are easily the most celebrated prepa
rations ever introduced in this coun
try, growing in popularity daily. %
