CLEANER ELECTIONS
It is said that an effort will be
made when the next legislature
meets to pass a law making it a
misdemeanor for election officials
to hold back returns or fail to re
port the returns to the secretary
of state more than three days.
It is proposed to make each vio
lation punishable by fine of from
$100 to $500 and six months im
prisonment in jail. This law will
also be made applicable to pri
maries.
If this law had passed several
years ago and had been enforced
the Democratic party in Arkansas
would today have been in much
better shape and not torn into
shreds on account of alleged bal
lot box stuffing and frauds.
There is need of a drastic re
form in our election laws and The
Journal hopes the next legislature
will enact a law that will afford
the state the much needed relief
from the cry of fraud that has
heretofore been so easily raised by
a defeated candidate after an elec
tion.
Fair and honest elections can
hurt no man except the political
crook, and the political crook is
entitled to very little considera
tion.
By all means give us a better
election law.
Good roads are needed not only
because they save the farmer j
money, and help to increase land
values, but because in a very real j
sense, they bring him nearer to
all the rest of the world, and en
able ljim and his family to share
in pleasures and privileges that
are often out of his reach when
the roads are bad.

THE TOWN'S
REPRESENTATIVE
Have you ever thought how
thoroughly representative a news
paper is of its home town?
A newspaper is the only home
institution that travels around to
distant cities. Buildings and
streets cannot be seen unless one
visits a place. The newspaper
goes as far as the mails.
The home newspaper furnishes
a means by which distant people
gain an idea of the place where it
! is published. If a newspaper is
newsy and clean typographically,
and has liberal advertising, every
man from Los Angeles to the At
lantic who sees it gets an idea
that the town is alive.
People have no idea how news
papers circulate away from their
home town. Every publisher has
a considerable list of subscribers
who formerly lived where it is
published, or are interested in the
place for business reasons. And
people send away many papers.
If you want Newark to cut a
good figure before the world, help
us to make The Journal reflect
the very best there is in Newark.
If you see where improvements
could be made in the paper, tell
us so, and then do not be afraid
to offer your assistance in helping
to make the needed improve
ments.
There is absolutely no reason in
assuming that live stock farming
will not pay in Arkansas, when
farmers in Iowa, Missouri, Indi
ana, and Illinois have made a suc
cess of it on $100 land with
short summers, long winters, and
a single crop season and no natur
al forage and range. While in
Arkansas we have only a few
weeks during each season that it
is necessary to house the stock;
we can raise three or four crops a
season; have plenty of $10 land
and unlimited natural range.
There are few obstacles to Ark
ansas live stock farming.
There is nothing more disgust
ing to a true gentleman than to
see a girl flirting with every man
or boy she sees on the streets and
other public places. Don’t do it
young lady unless you would
have a low estimate placed on
your worth. You may be as pure
as can be, but your actions are
liable to cause you to be under
valued. There is nothing more
admired by a gentleman than a
nice, modest, well behaved young
lady, and nothing more unpleas
ant than to see a young lady act
rude and fast. Remember that
honor is more priceless to a girl
than gold, and when once down
in public estimation it is very dif
ficult to rise again. A very trifl
ing indiscretion in word or act on
the part of the young lady has
caused her untold mental anguish.
Treat every one you meet cordial
ly but don’t flirt with any one.
You are far better off without
the notice or attention of those at
tracted to you by such a course.
One of the prettiest pieces of
printing that has come to The
Journal office in some time is the
“White River Folder” recently is
sued by the Iron Mountain rail
road. It contains a fine article
descriptive of the White river
country and is finely illustrated
with beautiful scenes of the upper
White river country, wrhich is
termed “One of the most charm
ing vacation lands in all America.”
When you go to figure on the
cost and the value of improved
highways, do not forget that they
have a very real and very great
value in the added enjoyment and
the added freedom they bring to
the people of a community; and
that this is a benefit no less real
than is the cost of the hauling
you do over the roads; and this is
a benefit which is hard to estimate
the value of in dollars and cents.
As long as a man is prosperous
and has money he can’t keep
friends off with a baseball bat.
The moment he is unfortunate
and his wealth gone, he is not only
snubbed by his alleged friends,
but they at once begin to do him
all the harm possible. When a
man starts up grade, the world
falls behind and pushes. When
he starts down, the world steps
aside and greases the track.
Now is the time to begin saving
up some of the fine products of
your farm to send to the State
Pair this fall.
More and better school houses
and more good teachers, more
good roads and bridges, more rail
roads line and other public utilities
are needed in Arkansas. The
state is rich enough to command
them and it is up to the progress
ive citizens of the state to get
busy and get them. Such things
do not come of their own volition
or without effort on the part of
the people.
Work, more than all else in the
world, binds together the scattered
strands of humanity; and the
great organization of business, on
which the economic structure
rests, is a token of that universal
co-operation and brotherhood with
out which man would be but a
naked savage in the wilderness.—
System Magazine.
Human happiness depends on
the things that are nearest to us—
the home first of all, and then the
town in which we live. What
ever we do to make the home
pleasanter or the town better,
makes life more worth the living.
You never can enrich your farm
by putting the fertilizer on some
body else’s land and you can never
build up this community by send
ing your money to the mail order
houses for the things you have to
buy.
Governor Hays has declined to
call a special session of the legisla
ture to permit the St. Francis
levee board to do a little more
grafting. And therein Governor
Hays shows good judgment.
The value of each man’s proper
ty is enhanced by the value of the
property around it. It is not
enough to build a good house for
ourself alone; we must help make
a good town.
The man who advertises large
ly and wisely always does a large
business, because the people know
him. He talks with them through
the press and of course gets their
patronage._
If the mail order goods are not
all right, you can ship them back.
If the home merchant’s goods are
not all right, you don’t have to
buy them to find it out.
