About the only good thing
we can see about the present
European war is that it is on
the other side of the Atlantic.
Newark will soon have el
ectric lights. Now if we can
put in waterworks we will be
coming on at about the proper
gait.
The Youths Companion ob
serves that when a man miss
es the road to success, he usu
ally insists that somebody
changed the guide post.
Those who are always talk
ing about what might have
been done are not the sort of
people who would have done
it if they had been there.
Let’s get busy and organize
a Board of Trade in Newark.
A good live board of trade
could do a whole lot toward
the prosperity and advance
ment of Newark.
The business men of Bald
Knob have formed a commer
cial organization for the pur
pose of boosting their town.
This is a good example for
Newark to follow.
If the boys around the state
house don’t shut off some the
hot air that is escaping from
the various offices in that build
ing, folks are going to sus
pect directly that somebody
has lied.
One of the state officials ac
cuses another state official of
talking too much. If is very
evident that too much talking
has been done by somebody
and it begins to look like the
whole bunch is guilty of the
same charge.
There is not a paper in this
section of the state that has
shown as great improvement
during the last few months as
the Bahl Knob Eagle. Editor
Wasson is a real live booster
for Bald Knob, and the busi
ness interests of that town cer
tainly ought to give him liber
al support.
Arkansas produces annually
several million dollars in nat
ural wealth. Just think what
a great era of prosperity the
state would enjoy if only one
half our raw products were
converted into finished goods
in Arkansas factories. It would
benefit every man, woman and
child in the state.
It seems that a good deal of
palaver is being indulged in
by certain officials around the
state house concerning alleged
crookedness said to exist in
certain departments of the
state government. When a
state official consumes two or
three columns of space in the
daily papers every day or two,
in an effort to defend himself
and sling mud at othex-s—anil
then dot art fuj u word' that
sheds any light on the situa
tion—the folks begin to sus
pect that he is more wind
jammer than statesman, and
that his greatest interest in
politics is to hold a job.

If you will take time to do
a little “figgering” you will
find that of the men in Newark
who are well off, practically
all of them made their money
in this community. People do
not have to leave here and go
to some distant place in or
der to prosper or make money
—there are opportunities all
around us.
This talk about Bryan being
a “quitter” sounds rather shal
low to us. The twenty years
that he has spent in public
life and the battles he has
fought for progressive reforms
many of which at first seemed
visionary, but most of which
have been adopted by the coun
try in one form or another, is
the very best evidence to us
that he is far from being a
“quitter.” lie is a constructive
leader of thought and action
who lias always been in ad
vance of the times, but in near
ly ever instance time has prov
en the wisdom of his conten
tions. In our opinon, noAmer
ican citizen has ever shown
more persistent and consistent
perseverance in lighting for is
sues he believes to be right, or
who is less entitled to be term
ed a “quitter” than W. J.
Bryan.

WHY THE HAMMER.
Why is it some people al
jways have a hammer out l()i
their home town and communi
ty? If other people hammer
led them as they knock the
town, their wails could he
heard clear to heaven—or the
other place. It is always ad
visable to get rid of a grouch,
but it is still more advisable to
lose it in the woods instead ot
sowing it broadcast in the
heart of a fine community ol
energetic and respectable peo
ple. __
