Don't Play Hypocrit
With Act No. 2
The Arkansas News, whic
was recently started in Littl
Rock, has suddenly becom
such a strong advocate of Ac
No, 2 that a great many peopl
are beginning to suspect tha
the News was started by th
liquor people for the sole pui
pose of boosting the movemer
for the repeal of the statewid
prohibition law.
The News says Act No.
will not establish a single s;
loon in the state unless the pec
pie of the community want t
establish tha saloon.
Will the News kindly poin
out in Act No. 2 the provision
whereby a saloon can be kep
out of any town in any count
that may vote “wet?”
The editor of the New
knows that the statement tha
Act No. 2 will not establish i
single saloon is absoluely false
Why lie to the people o
Arkansas like that?
If the News wants to sup
port Act No. 2. o nits own mer
its (or demerits) that is all righl
it has a perfect right to do so:
but why not have the manhood
to be honest about it, and not
not try to mislead the people?
The News knows very well
that Act No. 2 was initiated for
the sole purpose of putting sa
loons back into Arkansas, and
it knows the act is so drawn as
to give the saloons every ad
vantage.
The News’ plea that the
question of prohibition or no
prohibition is not involved in
the act, but that it is “simply a
law to rebuke the legislature
for taking the question out of
the hands of the people” is
about the rottenest rot that
was ever sprung on the people.
Act No. 2 was initiated for
the sole purpose of putting sa
loons back into Arkansas.
Everybody knows this istrue,
and no amount of argument or
misrepresentation will foolany
t body.
When a newspaper says it is
for Act No. 2, the people know
it is in sympathy with the li
quor element and favors the
sale of liquor. There can be no
argument on this point, be
cause Act No. 2 is not Local
Option. It is the most radical
liquor bill that could be drawn,
and leaves nothing to be desir
ed from the standpoint of the
man who favors the sale of li
quor.
This talk about rebuking
the legislature for taking the
J matter out of the hands of the
people,” is the veriest tommy
rot, and is only made with the
hope of misleading the people.
A man can no more be in fa
vor of Act No. 2 and be against
saloons than he can travel in
two directions at the same
time. And the man who says
he is opposed to the sale of li
quor, and yet favors Act No. 2,
stultifies himself.
1
As we said before, if the
g
News wants to support Act No.
t 2, it has a perfect right to do
so. But it has no right to con
g
t duct a campaign of misrepre
sentation and mislead the peo
ple as to the intents and pur
poses of Act No. 2, or to mis
lead the people as to its real
9
attitude toward the liquor
question.
If the News is in favor of Act
No. 2, The Journal would not
for a moment deny it that right.
1 But the News should be honest
enough and have enough re
gard for common decency and
* truth to gav that it is opposed
* to prohibition and in favor of
' the sale of liquor.
> It is, indeed, an unhappy
man or woman who exists by
the “dollar measure.” While it
- is well to provide against the
possible “rainy day,” one must
not overlook TODAY, fraught
with the responsibility of shap
ing the future. Avarice is a
demon that will destroy all
that is good. It will steal every
honest heart impulse and rob
you of teh joys of generosity
and of being helpful to needy
brother man.—Arkansas Far

\\ hv is the “finished prod
uct” of the saloon hustled off
to the calaboose and hidden
from sight? The saloon keeper
is the first one to call the police
when a customer gets down so
low that he disgraces a saloon.
Why does he not put his handi
work in his show window and
exhibit him as an illustration
of what the saloon can do when
it has a fair chance at a man?
—Bryan’s Commoner.
Judge L. C. Smith of DeWitt.
one of the candidates for the
Democratic gubernatorial nom
ination in the March primaries,
has issued a statement denying
that he was not supporting Dr.
C. II. Brough, his successful
opponent. Judge Smith says
he is supporting the ent ire state
Democratic ticket from top to
bottom, and is doing all he can
to get a large vote in his sec
tion of the state.
Don't forget that a wheat
crop sufficient to furnish all
the bread needed for home
use, is the best insurance of a
good price for cotton next fall.
It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky,. In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the Woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hun 80 bad. 1
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly aole
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
Cardui
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.

Senator John R. Duty of
Rogers announces that he has
prepared a bank guaranty hill
which he will introduce in the
next legislature. Close friends
of Dr. P>rough say he will urge
the passage of such a bill in his
inaugural address. The bank
ers of the state are practically
unanimously opposed to such a
law and say they will use their
influence to defeat it .
The earnest desire to be a
help to your neighbor and to
be a factor in the citizenship of
your state are far betterindica
tions of your worth than a big
fortune. You are fortunate if
you have accumulated wealth,
but citizenship and neighborli
ness are more important.—

Mr. Hughes says he would
give the country an economical
administration, but the New
York World produces figures
to show that he gave New York
two administrations as gover
nor that broke the extravagant
records of that state by about
$10,000,000.
Former Senator Webb Cov
ington. in a speech at Spadra a
few days ago, declared him
self opposed to Act No. 2. He
urged the United Mine Work
ers to vote solidly against the
bill, declaring that the use of
whiskey lessens a man’s earn
ing capacity.
There will be more money in
circulation in Independence
county this fall than for a num
ber of years. All crops are
making good yields and are
bringing big prices. Our people
are in condition to appreciate
some real prosperity, so let her
come.
The fellow who thinks he
knows everything does not
make any progress, because in
his own estimation, he has al
ready arrived at the end of the
road of knowledge, and there
fore can go no further.
If you hear a damaging
story against some one, why
not give the party involved the
benefit of the doubt and not
condemn them until you are
sure the story is true?
What does the Arkansas Ga
zette think now about Gov.
Hays being able to prohibit the

The best boost you can give

Somebody has invented a

It is said that right always
triumphs. But you have prob
ably noticed that a great many
people who think they are
right, very often “get it in the

Some people, no matter

A lot of people who congra

it.
