FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1908
A state convention of the Peoples
Party of Arkansas inis been called to
meet in Little Hock on the tirst day of
April. That's a very appropriate day
for holding such a convention.
The year 1!)0T surpassed all previous
years in the output of cars ^und loco
motives. An expenditure of -r470,(MM),
000 by the railroads for new rolling
stock is the estimate for the year made
by the Railway Gazette.
The Oklahoma state senate lias
formally decided that man is not an
animal. But some men come so near
l>eing an animal that it would he an j
injustice to the donkey to place him
in the same class with some men.
The Commercial-Appeal says Maine
Hus had fifty-s years of experience
■with prohibition and the people in
that state are disgusted with it. It
seems a little strange, if they arc so
, disgutcd with prohibition, that they
would have kept it in force so long.
It has been said that a man is judg
ed by the company he keeps, and in a
large measure this is true. It matters
not whether a man is engaged in busi
ness, or is an office-seeker, if he em
ploys lieutenants whose standing is
below par. it does not speak well for
him. _______
A novel ease i> reported from Colo
rado. John Shearer, a prominent
ranchman, of Montrose, was converted
in b' religions revival and joined the
church. He refuses to pay a big liquor
bill contracted during his unregenerate
days, and nit has l>een instituted
against him to collect the account.
The Newport Independent refers to
the editor of this paper as Newark's
mud-slinging journalist. We note,
however, that the Independent does
not hesitate to reproduce such articles
from our pen as meet with its ap
proval. If we are such a depraved
mud-slinger. the Independent ought
not to besmirch its immaculate purity
by thus lending it-, endorsement to our
downward career. Consistency? oh,
fudge:_
It is not at all surprising that some
people have such a hard time trying
to Ik* decent. .1 u>! remember that the
first man who dwelt upon the earth
was no saint. If we can rely upon
history, he was a liar and a sneak.
The first 'woman kept bad company,
and woman-like pried into things that
did not concern her. The first child
born was a murderer, and killed bis
own brother. Our lii->>t ancestors were
a tough set, and it seems to be a hard
matter to get it out of the blood.

Bill Nye told the truth well when he
*>aid: ‘‘A man may use a wart on the
back of his neck for a collar button:
ride on the back coach of a railroad
train to save interest on Ids money
till the conductor gets back to him;
stop his watch at night to save wear
ami tear; leave his “i" or ••f without
a dot or cross to save ink: pasture his
mother’s grave to save corn; but a
man of this sort is a gentleman and a
scholar compared to the fellow that
will take a newspaper two or three
ye»r.\ and when asked to pay for it
puts it back in the postoliiee marked
•‘refused. ”
Waterman of the Newport Democrat
says he is morally certain that the
editorial in a recent issue of this paper
bearing upon the senatorial contest in
Jackson county was written by John
Keel. But we have seen a great many
persons no more void of brains than
Waterman, who were “morally cer
tain" of a great many things, when in
fact, they barely knew enoyigh to keep
out of the lunatic asylum. If what
Waterman actually knows was stack
ed up alongside of what he is “morally
certain" of (or in other words, what
he thinks he knows, but dont) it would
take a magnifying glass to lind the
former, while the latter—well, it would
take four days hard work with a steam
shovel to make a dent in it.

A PATHETIC STORY
A few weeks ago a young man
bought a pair <>f socks containing a
note saving the writer was an employe
of tie Kenosho kniting works ami
wanted a good husl>and. She gave
inn- name, and requested the buyer, if
unmarried to write with a view to
matrimony. The young man who
found tiie note considered the matter
in all it*, phases, and then decided to
write to the girl. He did. Awaiting
with anxiety, he was at last rewarded
with a curt letter, stating that the girl
was now the mother of two children
and had lieen married four years, and
the note been written ever so long ago.
It was a “sock-dolager,” and the
young man hunted for a solution. He
found it. The merchant of whom he
bought the socks doesn’t advertise.—
Fourth Estate.

DON AGM EY IN THE LEAD
Little Rock, Feb. 18.- Reports re
ceived from every part of the state in
licate that the Donaghey majority is
growing daily, lie is gaining votes,
•ather than losing them through the !
charges which are lieing brought
igainst him through circulars and I
arge advertisements in the leading i!
pajiers of Little Rock, for the persons 1
vho have made them are proven to be
in worthy of belief, and such senseless
ighting makes friends for the C'onwav
candidate. Knowing that he had nine
;enths of the votes of Northwest Ar
kansas. where all of the other candi- ]
lutes are now lighting, after once they ]
have been over the ground already. i
Donaghey is pursuing the even tenor |
if his way in the Southeastern conn- \ ,
:ies, and thousand of person cheer 1dm ,
so dozens who attend the speaking of;
die other three eanndidates. The re*
l>orts say that the impression that ,
Donaghey is not a speaker is entirely ,
an erronious one, as he makes a far
better speech than any one of the other ,
diree candidates. While out spell- ]
binding, Donaghey did not forget to ]
lie first to send in his pledge to sup- |
port the Democratic nominee in the
coming election. The present indica
:ions are that Donaghey will be the
nominee in the primary election, with
fully one half of all the
he state. Seeing that
no chance to win, many
porters are joining tl
■auks.

Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong

An interesting interview was re
cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi
cines have created such a sensation
during the past year.
Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: “My medi
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human stom
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most ill health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ani
mals generally, you see no nerve ex-1
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify it. The human race
has been doing this for years, and
look at the result—half the people are|
complaining of poor health, not real
lliness—just a half-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don’t really know what
is the matter with them.
“I know that all the trouble Is
caused by weak, overworked stom
achs. I have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of peo
ple in most of the leading cities of
this country. I expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation.”
Among those who have recently
been converted to Cooper’s theory is
Mr. Monroe Brown of 8 Hancock
Street, Winchester, Mass. Mr. Brown
his this to say oi his experience with
:ho new medicine: "For over seven
('ears I suffered with catarrh of t,ho
stomach, and for the past year I was
lame with rheumatism. I attributed
his to my stomach trouble, as my cir
culation was very poor. What food l
ite would turn to gas almost at once,
[ would have a sensation of bloating1,
md would have to belch frequently
to relieve this. My heart also becamo
affecteu, and I would suddenly become
dizzy and have palpitations. I wTaa
tired and dull and despondent at all
times. I lost a great deal of flesh, and
vas nervous and depressed. This w'entj
on for over seven years, although £
spent hundreds of dollars trying tat
get relief.
“When Cooper was in Boston E
heard a good deal about his ideas on
stomach trouble. Next, one or two
friends told me that his medicines had
greatly helped them. I purchased
some of the New Discovery medicine.
Today I am perfectly well; I sleep liko
a boy, can eat anything and have no
rheumatism or heart trouble. I no
longer have any gas on my stomach,
and feel as I did years ago. No ono
could be more astonished by thesei
facts than myself. They are remark**
able, but true. This is indeed a won*
derful medicine.”
The Cooper preparations have been
more widely sold and discussed sinco
being introduced than anything of tho
kind ever before sold by druggists. Wo
sell them and explain their natura,
