NO IDOL WORSHIP FOR US
The Journal must confess its ut
ter astonishment that so good a
newspaper man as the veteran ed
itor of the Paragould Soli phone
could be induced to sell himself
for the hollow mockery of being
permitted to play soldier for a few
days.
Did you ever see a boy with his
first pair of red-top boots, across
the toe of which were pieces of
shining brass, which the proud
owner had rubbed and polished
until he could almost see himself
in them?
Uncle John bought them for the
boy, and by that act he established
himself in the boy's estimation, at
once, immediately and forever, as
the greatest, noblest and sublimest
of men. Uncle John was IT, and
forever thereafter whatever he
did was right, so far as the boy
was concerned.
This is a fair illustration of the
Soliphone’s attitude toward Gov
ernor Donaghey.
Some time ago the governor
wrote Brother Taylor: “Come
down to Little Rock, my boy, and
I’ll give you a pair of soldier’s
boots and spurs and a big tin
sword, and make you adjutant
general of that mighty ami fear
less army, the Arkansas State
Guard.”
When this message was deliver
ed to the doughty old wa’ boss as
he sat at his desk, he brought down
his fist on the desk with such force
that the pastepot jumped clear to
the ceiling. “Gosh dern! where’s
my hat?” he shouted and lit a
shuck for Little Rock, not even
waiting to investigate his eligibil
ity; and from that day to this,
asleep or awake, sick or well,
sober or — oh, well, just any
time you might ask him to name
the greatest living American, he
assumes a stately salute and
mechanically replies, “Guv-e-nor
Don-e-gay.”
Because of The Journal's recent
criticism of Governor Donaghey’s
action in creating the necessity for
the recent special election, the
Soliphone jumps onto us with both
feet, and in its frenzied attempt to
defend the governor, makes some
glaring mis statements of facts
that entitle it to active member
ship in the Annanias Club.
The Journal most emphatically !
denies saying there are a thousand ;
lawyers in the state who can handle I
the railroad rate litigation as well
as Judge Hill. We said “Gov. j
Donaghey could not find a lawyer
in the state capable of handling the
job without taking a judge off the j
supreme bench, although there is
probably a thousand lawyers in
the state, many of whom have won
success and distinction in their
profession.'’
Judge Hill did not resign until
after Governor Donaghey appoint
ed him as special counsel in the
railroad rate litigation, and nobody j
knows this better than does Col.
Tayior.
The Soli phone says: “The va
cancy on the supreme bench hav
ing occurred, it was the duty of
the governor to call the special
election.”
The Journal concedes that it
was, but we deny that it was the
duty, or even the moral right, of
the governor to disorganize the
highest tribunal in the state by
appointing its chief justice to a
more lucrative, but less important
position, especially when, by so
doing, he incurs and expenditure
of $25,000 of the peoples' money
and gives them nothing in return.
And if Judge Hill is such a
good, great and wise lawyer that
he has no equal in the state, as the
Soliphone would have us believe,
would it not have been more w-ise
and statesmanlike for the governor
to have brought his entire influ
ence to bear upon Judge Hill in
an effort to keep him on the su
preme bench, instead of virtually
asking for his resignation by ten
dering him a more lucrative posi
tion? And this, too, in face of
the fact that the governor was
bound to have known that it would
cost the state $25,000 to elect a
successor to Judge Hill; and the
| state verging upon a financial
! crisis.
The Journal has no tight to
make upon Governor Donaghey,or
any other man, so long as he does
right, and follows the path of du
ty, with an eye to the peoples’ in
terests.
But, unlike the Soliphone, we
have never yet reached the point
where we could applaud the every
act of a public servant, whether
right or wrong, merely to gain his
favor.
We do not believe there was
ever a man so bad but what there
was some good in him, or one so
good but what he did things he
should not have done.
When we say a man never did
wrong, we place him above human
fallibility and make him Divine,
therefore The Journal most re
spectfully declines to bow with the
Soliphone at the feet of its Idol,
Governor Donaghey.
Of course, we have never had
the honor (?) of being appointed
official puppet to the governor,
and we have never experienced
the ecstatic delight of being called
colonel (egad!) but we are just
fool enough to believe that we
havn’t missed a great deal.
(rood crops this year will do
more for the prosperity of the
country than all the politicians
under the sun. Real prosperity
comes through the production of
something necessary to the suste
nance and comfort of the world,
and not through the explosion of
hot air bombs.
The Batesville Guard and the
Paragould Soliphone represent
the two extremes of sentiment to
ward Governor Donaghey. The
governor never did a single thing
that the Guard commended him
for, and he never did a single
thing that the Soliphone criticised
him for.
alio scuuui cenus ui Newport,
which has just been completed,
shows Newport to have 231 white
persons and 353 negroes of schol
astic age, or 92 more negroes than
whites. 1'his indicates that more
than half of Newport’s population
are negroes.
C. C. Kavanaugh, of Little Rock,
ex-sherilT of Pulaski county, has
announced himself a candidate for
governor against Governor Don
aghey. But there’s a big, long
hill and a barrel between Mr,
Kavanaugh and the governor’s
chair. _
In answer to the question,
“Can a man make a million dollars
honestly?’’ Editor Coger of the
Sharp County Record confesses
that he never did. And The
Journal suspects that there are a
lot of newspaper men who never
did.

OBITUARY
Sister Fannie Holcomb was born
August 21 1844. Slie married
Jack Holcomb, who died six years
ago, leaving her alone in the j
world, for they were without 4
children. She spent the days of i
her widowhood in the homes of j
different relatives. Recently she 4
made her home with Mr. and Mrs.
«
J. P. Magness. Where she seem* '
ed perfectly satisfied and seemed ,
1 as devoted to their children as if i
1 they they had been her own. ^
' “Aunt Fannie,” as she was famil- j
1 iary called had a kind word for J
1 everyone, and everybody was her <
1 friend. She was a true Christian !
1 and a devoted member of the New- '
1 ark Baptist church. She leaves .
1 one sister and three brothers and <
their children, besides the mem- ,
| bers of her church and a large J
1 circle ofother relatives and friends. <
“But they weep not for her as
those that have no hope.
“Mourn not the dead who calmly lie,
By God’s own hand composed to rest; ^
For Hark! a voice from yonder sky,
Proclaims them blest—supremely blest. 1
With them the toil and strife are o’er, I
Their labors end, thier sorrows cease, I
For they have gained the blissful 1
shore
Where dwells serene eternal peace.
Drop the warm tear, for Jesus wept; ^
Sorrow shall find relief in tears,
. But let no secret grief be kept
, To waste the sonl through nameless '
years; I
They rest in hope; thier hallowed dust 1
Is watched; and from the grave shall ^
rise;
Earth shall restore her sacred trust
Made all immortal for the skies;’’

Nervous
Prostration
>
j. “I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there ;
was no use trying to get well. A
’ friend recommended Dr. Miles’ ;
Nervine, and although skeptical ;
j at first, I soon found myself re
covering. and am to-dav well.”
MRS. D. I. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It’s the nerves that
* make the heart force the blood
1 through the veins, the lungs
' take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
I If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
j a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
1 1 herefore you can hardly miss
it if you take I)r. Miles’ Nervine
1 when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
