hHAT ARE YOU G0I1S 6 TO DO?
Why can't we effect an organi
zation of the business men and
other progressive citizens of New
ark for the purpose of keeping the
interests of the town to the front
and to awaken and maintain a
spirit of enterprise that will add
to our growth and prosperity ?
This is a move in the right di
rection, and is the only way by
which we will ever succeed in
making Newark what it should be,
from a business and commercial
point of view.
We all know what a little en
terprise and push will do for a
town, and we know that very lit
tle is ever accomplished along this
line without co-operation and uni
ty of purpose and action.
Such an organization would
serve to bring the warring factions
of the town together and would
help to create and foster a mutual
interest in matters that affect the
common interests of the entire
citizenship of the town.
Every good citizen must learn
to yield something to the common
interests of his community, and
The Journal knows of no better
and more effectual way in which
these lessons can be brought home
to each of us than by and through
such an organization and by meet
ing and calmly and deliberately
discussing the problems that con
tinually come up for solution.
There are many live industries, (
especially in the East, seeking
Western locations and if we were
properly organized some of these j
enterprises might be investigated
and if found meritorious and suit
able for the location, inducements
could be offered them to locate
within our borders. This is what
it will take to give growth and
prosperity, new life and interest,
and make Newark what she should
be.
The presentation of this subject
here is not for mere idle talk, but
is for a purpose, because The
Journal feels an interest in the
welfare of the town, and we make
these suggestions for the consider
ation of every man who feels an
interest in the town and would
like to see it shake off its spirit of
lethargy.
Golden opportunities are daily
passing our very doors. Shall
we grasp them, or shall we con
tinue to nurse our grouch, cuss'
our neighbors and kick about ev
erything and everybody under
the high Heavens — while other
more progressive but less favored
communities push to the front.
Its up to the citizens of New
I ark. This is a problem we must
solve for ourselves and among our
selves. What are you going to
do about it? Not the other fel
low, but YOl'.
A NAMELESS CREATIRE
Every growing, ambitious town
is composed of three elements.
Those who work patriotically, vig
orously and intelligently for its
advancement; those who are a
state of apathy or indifference;
and those who take a curious de
light in discouraging the efforts of
others by ridicule and by a per
sistent denial that any progress
can be accomplished. This last
class are called croakers and knock
ers, but they are really something
worse, for their opposition does
not arise simply from despondency
but from that unenviable spirit
that will neither act itself nor suf
fer others to act. So far as The
Journal knows there is no word in
the English language that fitly de
scribes a man of this kind.
Education along all lines is taking
the right-of-way in the minds of
all classes of people in Arkansas
today, and it is very gratifying
that this is so. Other issues may
inspire greater interest or excite
ment temporarily, but the thing
that most permanently concerns
the public welfare and upon which
it is easiest to find common ground
with the average citizen is educa
tion. It is fortunate for the state
that this is so, for there
is no progress without educa
tion. Every good citizen should
feel a deep interest in the advance
i mentof all educational institutions.
I Not only the country at large,
but what is of more importance,
is that the farmer is very import
ant in most of the good things
that make up this world of ours,
lie furnishes fresh and good
blood to the great business organ
izations of the country which are
engaged in legitimate transactions,
furnishes a good portion of the
money which keeps the wheels of
commerce moving, feeds the
“whole shootin’ match” and does
his quota of kicking when things
go wrong._
The farmers are under no obliga
tions, legally or morally, to recog
nize so many middlemen between
them and the auctal consumer.
The sooner they adopt some sys
tem to cut most of these out the
better it will be for both the pro
ducer and consumer.

Newark, : : : : Arkansas
Every man, and every woman,
has some talent, some power, some
opportunity of netting good and
doing good. Each day offers some
opportunity for using this talent.
As wc use it, it gradually becomes
a part of our character. As we
neglect it, it dwindles, withers and
disappers. If we would grow and
become broader, bigger and more
useful, we must cultivate this tal
ent and endeavor to look for the
good in the common everyday
affairs of life.
Fort Smith is a live town and
has one of the livest Commercial
Leagues in the state. No event or
happening that tends to give their
city favorable advertising is ever
permitted to pass uuheralded, and
every newspaper in the state is
furnished reports of all matters of
this nature. Publicity of the right
kind helps any town and there is a
lesson in this for Newark if she
would only heed it.
A prohibition fight in Newark,
Ohio, a few days ago resulted in a
general riot and the lynching of a
man employed by a prohibition
organization who shot and killed
the proprietor of an alleged soft
drink establishment. Such things
are unfortunate, but it seerns that
few things arouse the prejudice of
the average man so much as a con
test over the liquor problem.
The picnic season is here and
there seems to be a large crop of
them. It is good to take a day off
occasionally and mix and mingle
with your neighbors.
When the farmers of the North
and Northwest join hands with the
farmers of the South, everybody
will doff their hat to Reuben when
he comes to town.
When “captains of industry“get
to be common theives, isn’t it
about time to stop extending par
ental protection to them by the
government?

Senator Davis promises to warm
things up in the senatorial tight.
Rut Jeff can always be relied upon
to do that.
Senator Bob Taylor ha* deserted
the Patterson forces in Tennessee.
Bob’s a pretty level-headed old
chap.
Smith and Brown are having a
regular old-time red hot campaign
for governor over in Georgia.
TO COLONIAL BEACH
(continued from page 1)
About 300 arrests were made and
the hospitals were filled with in
jured. Yesterday morning the
police court reflected something of
the magnitude of this continuous
quarrel and running fight. It was
dangerous for a black man to be
on Pennsylvania avenue during
the hours referred to, especially if
he was a young man and was in
clined to boast of Johnson’s vic
tory. But I presume Washington
was not the only city or only place
where there was trouble as a direct
result of this beastly tight between
a white man and a negro. It would
be salutary if the moving pictures
illustrating this fight could be
entirely barred from the Ameri
can public. Respectfully,
Georgk Wright.

Nashville, .Inly 12. A chicken
snake has been killed on the prem

es 1 from the snake’s stomach until
it dragged on the ground as it
crawled.
