FILLING THF VACANCY
The death of Hon. Jno. C.
Stroud removes one of the Demo
cratic nominees and necessitates
some action upon the part of the
official representatives of the
party to fill the vacancy in the
ticket.
When the recent political cam
paign closed there was a general
expression of relief upon the part
of the people, as the campaign
was a most strenuous one and
held the attention and interest of
the people as few of its predecess
ors have done.
The Journal believes the people
are thoroughly tired of politics for
the present and we believe theyj
would welcome some means of fill
ing this vacancy other than by a
primary.
We believe the county central
committee would make no mistake
and subject itself to no very seri
ous criticism should it meet and
declare W. J. Caldwell the choice
of the party to till this vacancy.
T'jere is no better Democrat in
the county, and he is a clean, hon
orable gentleman. He has twice
been before the people of the
county as an aspirant for this of
fice and the indorsement he has
recieved shows that he stands well
with the people.
We believe that such action up
on the part of the county central
committee would meet with the
hearty approval of a large major
ity of the Democratic voters of the
county. _

spirit of getting together for the
common good of the community.
It takes twice the time and twice
the team to haul a load over a mud
road that it does over a dry one, as
any man who has lived in Inde
pendence county the past winter
will readily testify.
It has been fully demonstrated
that we cannot depend entirely
upon the road tax for the building
and maintenance of our public
roads—that is, if we ever expect
them to be more than mere
uddy trails through the country.
But good, well-drained dirt
mads, and in many instances mac
adam roads, can be built at small
cost by a neighborly spirit of co
operation among the citizens of
almost any community in Inde
pendence county, as there are very
few communities in the county
but what have an abundance of
good road-buiiding material right
at hand.
Let’s get the old-time quilting,
log-rolling, corn-shucking spirit
into the road problem. If we will
do this with the assistance of the
road tax — we can soon have the
best system of roads of any county
in North Arkansas.
The Sharp County Record savs
The Journal has assassin at •
H. Hincinon. Not s
ton. We said that he m
Lyons made a good tram
recent state primary, an !
lieve the results full jus* ‘
assertion. John rallied tii ate
wide prohi’s, lined ’em up an I vot
ed 'em for his man. Joe rallied the
liquor forces, lined them up and
voted them for his man. They
were both for the same man.
Now if that is not what the Rec
ord would call making a good
team, we’d like to have the Record
tell us what it takes to make a
good team. The man who deliv
ers the goods is entitled to credit
for it, and we frankly admit that
we believe Joe and John make a
team that is hard to head off. We
i admire their pulling qualities, and
we believe their chief is not un
mindful of the debt of gratitude
he owes to these two wheelhorses.
But, when feed-time comes, will
John ^0;v; and Joe gel crow, or
will Joe get corn'- afwi John get
crow?

That more than 15 million per
sons in the United States will re
cord their votes for President in
the campaign of the present year
is evident from the official statis
tics of the presidential vote given
out by the Department of Com
merce and Labor. The record sug
gests that the total number of votes
cast in the presidential election
of this year will for the first time
exceed 15 millions. The total num
ber in 1908 was 11,887,000; in 1900,
13,965,000; in 1892,12,014,000, and
in 1888, 11,381,000. Dividing the
the vote thus officially recorded
into the population named by of
ficial counts or estimates for the
years in question, this shows the
average population for each vote
cast, as follows: in 1908, 5.98 per
sons for each vote cast; in 1904,
6.10; in 1900, 5.44; in 1896, 5.10;
in 1892, 5.40; and in 1888, 5.27.

LET THE WOMEN VOTE
A movement is under way to
have submitted at the election in
September a constitutional amend
ment giving the women of Arkan

want the ballot let them have it,
is the News idea. An ignoramus
without a dollar’s interest in the
community is permitted to vote,
yet intelligent women are not
j granted the privilege.— Searcy
