Quit Fighting Capital;
Arkansas Needs It
The Stephens News finds a
good omen in the fact that all
three candidates for governor
have issued statements to the
effect that if elected governor
they will not use the office to
harass capital, but on the other
hand will use the office to en
courage capital and to see that
capital gets its rightful and just
protection under our laws.
The Journal heartily agrees
with what the News says on the
subject and we are glad these
gentlemen have given these
statements out to the world and
we believe they will do Arkan
sas more good than anything
else that could have been said
or done in reassuring capitalists
who are inclined to invest in
our state but would not because
they were afraid.
We believe the time is here
when people have sobered down
and are ready to cease warfare
against capital and are willing
to extend the right hand of wel
come to every legitimate enter
prise and to every dollar that
comes into the state for invest
ment.
As the News very appropri
ately says, “Arkansas needs
more railroads and factories;
our mineral resources and im
mense hidden wealth should be
opened up; our great stretches
of rich lands should be devel
oped and it takes men and mon
ey to do these things.Capital has
been afraid to come to Arkan
sas because of an adverse public
sentiment and hostile legisla
tion. We have boasted of our
boundless resources but they
are still untouched.We have in
vited men and capital to come
in and help us develop them
but the invitation has fallen on
deaf ears. We are glad these
obstacles are melting away in
the sunlight of a more gener
ous feeling towards the man
with money who would be glad
to invest in the state.”
The f;n-( thill Marie Hodges
was born iulndependencecoun
ty is of itself no reason why our
citizens should vote for him un
less he is as well qualified for
governor as his opponent. Hut
when we analyze the situation
and the candidates, we find
that Hodges is not only as well
qualified but is better fitted in
every way to make the shite a
better governor than either of
his opponents. This being true,
the Independence county man
who is against Hodges has lit
tle room for complaint if the
people hand him a neat little
package containing a sample of
his own brand of loyalty.
One of the most important
things an\ of us can learn is
how to get along with people;
how to say and do the agree
able things; how to acquire the
fine art of making friends in
stead of enemies. The secret ot
doing this is to always treat
other people as you would like
to be treated yourself—to re
frain from saying disagreeable
things to and about other peo
ple, and remember the pho
tographer’s advice, “look pleas
ant.”

The Memphis Brand
of Civilization
Self-preservation is the first
law of nature and of nations,
and to preserve yourself you
must be prepared.—Commer
cial Appeal.
We presume, then, that the
Commercial Appeal would
have every man buy a couple
of big six-shooters and a good
strong cartridge belt for every
day wear, in order that he may
be prepared to take the life of
a neighbor upon the slightest
provocation.
The record for murder and
homicide in Memphis proves
that this is the prevailing cus
tom in that city. But with the
exception of Memphis, the
great part of the United States
has become fairly well civilized
and the people do not find it
necessary to convert themsel
ves into walking arsenals while
engaged in the pursuit of or
dinary business affairs.
The Glenwood Press hit the
keynote when it said that Dr.
Brough exeets the 13,000 Uni
versity boys in Arkansas to sup
port him for Governor, but that
there ae 60,000 plow boys in
Arkansas who never saw the
University and who will line up
solidly for Hodges. Earle W.
Hodges advocates prinicples
that are sound, and which ap
peal to the great bulk of the
voters in Arkansas. Dr. Brougn
has nothing in common with the
country people of the state. He
advocates nothing that appeals
to the farmer .
Another thing we like about
Earle Hodges: He has never
found it necessary to send his
money to some bank outside the
state for safe-keeping, as Dr.
Brough did in sending his uni
versity salary checks to a bank
in Ogden, Utah, to be placed
on deposit. Earle Hodges nev
er had much money, but he has
never been afraid to risk all the
had with the banks in Arkan
sas. Hodges pays his taxes in
Arkansas, and keeps his mon
ey in Arkansas.
If there was ever a more con
scienceless machine politician
in Arkansas than Joe T. Rob
inson we have never heard of
him. And yet while Joe T. and
a few other federal office
holders are doing their dirtiest
in an effort to elect Dr. Brough
governor, the doc gets out and
denounces Earle Hodges as be
ing a “machine candidate.”
There is at least one thing we
are bound to give doc credit
for—he is a polished liar.
For the first time in the his
tory of politics in Arkansas, the
name of a candidate for the
[Presidential nomination will
[appear on the primary ticket
tor the election in March. The
I name of Woodrow Wilson is to
be printed on the ballots, and
the Demcracy of Arkansas will
have an opportunity to express
I their choice directly for the
presidential nominee.
Of course your excessive
modesty would prevent your
answering the question, but
we would really like to know
the name of the smartest man
in this community.

petual motion has been found

Farm and Ranch
When we increase the num
ber and the kind of dairy cows
on our farm our annual income
will be considerably increased.
As it is there are too few dairy
cows on farms in the Suothwest
and the animals we now have
m an average produce lessthan
we have a right to expect.
Dairying ;.s the means of con
serving soil fertility. The dairy
cow consumes the coarse feeds
as well as the concentrates,con
verting them into milk, butter
fat, etc.; products that sell as
finished food products. The
feed is thus utilized in the pro
duction of these foods; market
ing cost is saved. At the same
time, if the manure is saved and
applied to the soil, little fertili
ty will be lost since much of the
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash in the feed is returned
to the land in the manure and
bedding.
Dairying permits the distri
bution of labor. Instead of the
hands having little to do dur
ing winter when the weather is
too bad to wTork in the fields
the cows will employ them.The
feeding must be done, milking
regularly, the milk cared for
and the products marketed.
The exclusive crop grower is
very busy during certain sea
sons, such as planting time,har
vest time, cotton chopping,etc.,
but at other seasons there may
I be little to do. Not so with the
;inan who keeps dairy cows. He
has employment and his work
is well distributed. In fact it is
possible to supplement crop
|growing with dairying as well
as with other kinds of livestock
raising.
No other livestock are bet
ter suited to soil improvement
than cows. They are economi
cal producers of wealth gener
ally. They "onsume much feed
and in doing so, if the right kind
j of cow’s, produce considerable
milk and void manure for soil
improvement.
The regularity of the income
is of much importance to farm
ers who often must pay dearly
for credit. With a few cows to
bring in cash daily, weekly o.
monthly, the farm may be plac
ed upon a cash basis.
A community where dairy
ing is the leading occupation is
generally prosperous.Dairymen
live well; they improve their
homes; use improved imple
ments, labor-saving machines;
take interest in schools, church
es, roads and rural citizenship.
It is to the interest of business
men also for the dairying to be
the leading occupation because
they find that it helps business.
They can well afford to encour
age the co-operative creamery,
for it builds up both town and
country.
Dairying judiciously practi
ced places agriculture upon a
permanent constructive basis
and makes ihe people who fol
low it more or less independent
and frugal.
TWO KILLED WHEN
TRAMWAY FALLS
Hermitage, Feb. 5.—Thurs
day night while firing kilns to
dry lumber at a saw mill, two
miles east of here, Jim Sander
and Arthur Carmichael wer
instantly killed by a tramway
giving away and a pile of tim
ber falling on the two men.
The only solution to the
tragedy is that while firing th
kilns the men heard the crash
and supposed it to be the kilns
they were working at, and in
I running to get out of the way
Uhey ran into the death trap.
A negro watchman heard the
crash and sounded the alarm,
'but before aid could rescue
| them they were both dead.
