ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
Another Reformer Heard From.
That fellow Coger of the Sharp County
Record ought to be muzzled. As soon as he
read in The Journal about our Mr. Hill intro
ducing a bill in the legislature to abolish dance
halls, why then Coger, he went and set up all
night the very next night a studying out a
string of stuff he say's he’s going to do when
he goes to the legislature, just like he actually
thought that he had brains enough and was
smart enough to go to the legislature, when
everybody knows that Coger ain’t got no more
show of ever going to the legislature than old
Phil Knox has got of going to the Peace Con
ference.
Now, read what the silly simp says:
“Poindexter Hill, one of the representatives
in the legislature from Independence County,
has introduced a bill in the legislature to pro
hibit all public dancing. When the editor of
this paper gets to the legislature he is going
to skin that bill more than a mile. The fact is,
we shall propose several better bills than that.
We shall introduce a bill to prohibit old men
from smoking strong pipes and the younger
generation from befudding their think tanks
with cigarettes. We shall introduce a bill to
prohibit our lady friends from painting their
faces and camouflaging their hips and other
parts of the anatomy'. We shall introduce a
bill declaring the chewing gum habit illegal in
the last degree. We shall introduce a bill cre
ating a commission composed of a very few
folks, and to be named later, whose duty it
shall be to formulate rules for the conduct of
all the people and to see that they are obeyed,
every offender to be put to death through a
slow process of strangulation. We shall intro
duce a bill declaring Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing
Syrup the national beverage, the Declaration
of Independence a humbug and the constitution
a myth. W’hen we get to the legislature, Mr.
Hill is going to have come again if he wants
to be known as a real reformer.”

The League of Nations.
Discussing- the proposed League of Nations
the Arkansas Democrat has the following tv
say, which comes as near the point as anything
The Journal has noticed on the subject:
“The arguments of some of the senators
who object to the plan for a League of Nations
seem to amount to this: that it ought to be left
entirely to each nation to make war as it sees
fit, that if Russia should sudenly, without cau
se, decide to make war on Denmark, there
should be no outside interference; if Germany
should decide to start another conflict with
fiance, that is an affair for Germany and
France to settle. The senators don’t urge their
conclusions that far, but the logical carrying
out of their proposed policies would allow just
that sort of thing.
“If the senators carry the same line of
reasoning into community life in this country,
it might be argued that there is no justificaton
for a community regulating the relations be
tween various residents; that if a man sudden
ly decides to raid the house of a neighbor and
beat him up, that is his affair and not a matter
for the other people of the community to take a
hand in.
“TheLeague of Nations idea simply extends
to international affairs the well-tested idea of
community regulation. It provides a plan
whereby 'the civilized members of the family
of nations stand together for common action
against a criminal among nations, just as the
civilized members of a community stand to
gether against the criminal in the community.
“If there is ever going to be a world-wide
Brotherhood of Man, there must first be a well
regulated family of nations recognizing a com
munity of interests. The League of Nations is
a great step forward in this direction.”

Senator Bone has offered an amendment
to the fish and game law to exempt alligators,
catfish and gars from the provisions of the law.
Why be so dad-blamed conservative? Why not
include turtles, water-dogs and snipe in the
exemption also? We don’t believe anybody
would object and we can’t see why turtles,
water-dogs and snipe are entitled to any more
protection under the law than alligators, cat
fish and gars.
t
It may turn out that those politicians who
■ are knocking Wilson’s League of Nations plan,
■ will be like the jeering crowd that stood on the
bank and knocked when Fulton started his
steamboat.
There will be no more war after we erad
icate from human nature the thing that made
Cain slay his brother. Now if you can “figger
out” how long it will take to do that, you can
tell when we’ll have no more wars.

Every mother and father are ambitious for
their boy. That’s Americanism. In Russia am
bition is taboed by law. That’s Bolshevism.

The French view seems to be that a wide
piece of Germany is the best guarantee of a
long peace.
HONESTY OF OPINION
FARM AND RANCH
Henry Clay when warned by his friends
that his views on public Questions were unpop
ular replied that he had rather be right than
president. How seldom do we meet this kind
of honesty and integrity in the public service!
How few candidates for office have well defin
ed views and impressions and are willing to an
nounce them and contend for them regardless
of the popularity of such views!
e as a people need more fearless convic
tions and more intellectual honesty to abide
with them. Popular sentiment has too often
influenced men in both private and public af
fairs to compromise and ever reverse views on
the events of the day.
In the few years following the war it is
hoped that the people themselves will be hon
est and conscientious with their representativ
es. Men in the public service are especially
anxious to have the opinions o*f thinking men
and they usually appreciate frankness and ster
ling honesty of thought and decision. But men
who clamor for selfish advantage or adhere to
principles simply because they are popular will
be detested and they will carry no influence.
If the people of the country will express
their opinions frankly, honestly and conscien
tiously it will not be a difficult matter for sen
timent conductive to good government, fair
dealing and industrial advancement to be pro
moted. The people may rule if they will assert
their authority reasonably and intelligently.
But only the honest, unselfish, conscientious
and patriotic may expect to have influence in
good government.
The Man Who Did His Best at Home
WHITNEY MONTGOMERY
All honor to the noble men
W ho went to fight for you and me—
To those who shall return again,
And those we nevermore shall see;
For some shall sleep in alien dust,
And some beneath the foam—
God bless them every one, and bless
1 he man who did his best at home!
What does it matter if he staid
When others took the sword and gun
If faithful to his simple trade
He did the work that two had done?
He gave whatever he could give,
Denied himself what he could spare.
And though his body labored here
His heart and soul were “over there.”
All honor to our noble men
W ho battled on a foreign shore;
A cheer for those who come again,
A tear for those who come no more;
For some shall sleep in alien dust,
And some beneath the ocean foam_
God bless them every one, and bless
The man who did his best at home!
