WE ARE BUILDING
FOR THE FUTURE
Unfortunate is the man whose
idea of life is expressed in the re
mark which wTe heard a man make
on the street here a few days age
—that what was good enough for
my daddy is good enough for me
Unfortunate indeed is the man
who is thus circumscribed by tradi
tion, and whose freedom of
thought and liberty of action are
thus influenced by the mistakes of
another generation.
The fetters of political inaction
and a misconception of economic
welfare has been the worst ene
mies to the progress of Southern
rvv^*v.
Our fathers probably did the
best they knew, and the best they
could, considering their circum
stances and conditions, and the
obvious fact that they too
were hampered by the idea that it
was sacrilege to try to improve on
the things that Dad had done.
Social, economic and industrial
progress demand that men have
liberty of thought and freedom of
action insofar as their motives
are pure and their aspirations lofty.
Those who would sever the tra
ditional fetters that bind us ir
government, in religion and in so
cial welfare should not be hamper
ed. We need men who have £
vision of progress and who an
willing to take advanced ground t(
hasten it.
Our fathers did the best the>
knew in handing down govern
ment, educational and other insti
tutions, but they made mistakes
just as we make mistakes today
and it is the dnty and the privi
lege of each generation to correc
mistakes and make improvement
as they may appear needful.
Our government—local, stati
and national—needs the service
of intelligent, moral and progress
ive men. The people are anxiou:
for leaders with pure motives
clear visions and indomitablecour
age. We need leaders who an
not bound by political traditior
nor fettered by selfish principles
but who are willing and anxious
not only to serve efficiently foi
the present, but to build wisely foi
the future.
Day by day we as individuals
as a patt of organic society and
citizens of the state, are building
for the future. Our influence in
social life and in the administra
tion of state, national and loca
government is far-reaching. We
can not shift our own responsibil

“Particular”
Yes—vve arc particular—particular
about what we sell- probably more so than von
arc about what you buy.
Some dealers devote all
their attention to sell
ing. They buy on price
and price alone*. We don't.
Before any article comes
into this store, we must
know tf//about it. And what
we find out in buying, we
tell you in selling. You
know what we know all the
time. Price alone is no
recommendation. Price
and value together are. If
you’ll get in touch with
our merchandise and our
prices you’ll readily realize

ity; we must answer for our
selves.
How are we building? Are we
building real character? Are we a
worthy example for young men?
Let us as intelligent people fos
1 ter institutions that wrill build foi
’ the future, and that will reflect
, honor upon us as a constructive
[ and progresive people and give
impetus to the builders of the
future generation.
Bryan’s trip to California in ar
endeavor to settle the Jap agita
’ tion shatters another traditional
' precedent. In fact it seems that
the Wilson administration does not
entertain a very high regard foi
i precedents, even though the pre
cedents are beautifully covered
with moss. Even the postmaster
general has so far strayed from
j the path of precedent as to insist
that postmasters must work.
A deplorable state of affairs has
recently been shown to exist in a
convict camp at Wilson, where
county prisoners are worked by a
contractor to whom prisoners are
leased by two or three counties,

prohibiting the leasing of state
convicts, and it is indeed unfortun- j
ate that the law did not also in
clude county convicts. The convict
, lease system is nothing less than
barbarous, and it is to our lasting
shame and disgrace that this sys- (
tern has been permitted to stand
for these many years as a foul
stain upon our sense of Justice.
It stands without argument
that the business man who gets 1
the peoples patronage is the man
who carries what the people want ;
I and lets them know he has it. :

The strawberry season is now

' Arkansas, and the luscious fruit is
bringing fancy prices. The Jour

around Newark are neglecting a
: golden opportunity in not taking 1
