Arkansas, as second class mail matter
There are no bosses in the B.
Moose party. “Bosses,” you will
note, is used in the plural.
“Why worry?” asked the sage,
many years ago, and the question
has been repeated by countless
thousands, but no one has ever
answered it.
It is reported that rats cost the
United States thirty-five million
dollars a year. This does not in
include the cost of those that are
bought at the millinery stores.
Since 1908 the length of the
average school term in Arkansas
has increased four weeks. That is
the kind of progress that means
something for the good of the
state. _
Having fallen out among them
selves, the old Republican leaders
are now telling things on each oth
er that the Democrats have been
telling on them for the past forty
years. _
John F. Boyle, a well known
Little Rock cotton dealer, predicts
that the price of cotton will go to
fourteen cents before Christmas.
We hope Mr. Boyle proves a true
prophet.
Poor Old Unc’ Trusty! All the
candidates seem to be denouncing
him. But it is possible that uncle
knows a trick or two he can turn
after the election to put himself
“square.” ______________
Many a man works unceasingly
for forty years, in order that he
may enjoy a little ease in later
life, only to find the undertaker
driving up to his gate just as he
thought he was getting ready to
live. _
Regardless of what may be said
against him, no thinking man can
see and hear Roosevelt speak with
out admiring the man, the type of
manhood and citizenship that he
represents and the principles of
right and justice that he champ
ions. ______________
The right of a governor to par
don a man, under trial, before the
jury has received the case, is con
stitutional, all right, but the gov
ernor wrho does so must be in an
awful hurry.—Commercial Appeal.
We suppose this has no refer
ence to a couple of “distinguished
gentlemen” who were pardoned in
Tennessee a few years ago.
Prosperous farming, like charity
begins at home. Those whose keep
down the high cost of living by
raising most of the living on the
farm may expect to have more
than a meager living. Those who
raise cotton to buy their living have
a poor living and nothing more.—
Farm and Ranch.
When a man gets to a point
where he can see no need of im
provement, mentally, morally or
financially, he might as well call in
the undertaker. Newark Journal.
He ought to call in the fool kill- j
er.—Arkansas Gazette.
That loafer? Pooh! What can
you expect of him? J
The increase of drunkard fact-j
ories in Arkansas marks the moral
decline of the state. There is no i
other conclusion. But with a dem- i
ocratic candidate for governor and
a democratic candidate for United
States senator defending the ex
istence of the drunkard factories
what better could we expect?—
Paragould Soliphone.
That old Republican scare-crow
about a Democratic President
bringing a panic is about the stal
est rot every sprung on the public.
The worst “panic” this country'
ever had w'as during Roosevelt’s
administration a few years ago,
w'hen a man could not even draw
his own money out of the bank,
and the only medium of exchange
was court plaster and soap wrap
pers. _________
The Republican party managers
are publishiug whole page adver
tisements in the newspapers and
magazines in the interest of Taft,
in which they urge the people to
do their own thinking. But the
advertisements are incomplete, be
cause they fail to give any direc
tions as to how one may keep from
thinking of a lot of things he must
forget if he votes the Republican
ticket. __________
The Althenian oath, given be
low, although several hundred
years old, contains much that is
good and it would not be amiss to
have it read in the public schools
of Newark every Monday morn
ing: “We will never bring disgrace
to this, our city, by any act of
dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever
desert our comrades in the ranks;
we will fight for the ideals and
sacred things of the city, both
alone and with many; we will re
vere and obey the city’s laws and
do our best to incite a like respect
and reverence in those above us.
who are prone to annul or set
them at naught; we will strive un
ceasingly to quicken the public’s
sense of civic duty. Thus, in all

The value of the present corn
crop is estimated at $1,750,000,000
—enough money, if paid in gold
coin, to load 100 freight cars to
the limit of their capacity. The
The crop is considered enormous,
and yet it is only about one-half
what it really should be. The
average yield is only about 25
bushels per acre, and it has been
proven by the members of the
Boys Corn Clubs that 75 to 100
bushels is not an unreasonable
yield. When our people get down
to real farming, a yield cf less than
50 bushels of corn per acre will be
considered a failure.

one that will give you full val
