Secretary Shaw says that we
need more five dollar bills. And
so we do; but we would not ob
ject to a few more two dollar and
one dollar bills.
Corrupt combinations in politics
sooner or later become burden
some, and if persisted in long
enough will lead to the defeat of
any political organization.
It is said that there will be a
great demand for step-ladders
among the Oil Trough and Big
Bottom farmers this fall, to be
used in gathering the corn crop.
The Democratic party should
not be confused in the public
mind with a small coterie of men
’who have succeeded in securing
the machinery of the party by any
and all kinds of methods.
The indications are that a wave j
of prosperity will sweep over this1
section of Arkansas in a short j
time, if some unforseen disaster
does not happen to the crops.
But the country can stand some
prosperity; just let "er come.
A Boston man was 'lapped in
the face by ft hotel proprietor at
Brownsville, Tenn., a few days
ago because of a remark of the
Bostonian criticising the Southern
people. The chronic critic, no
matter who he is or where he is
from, is a public nuisance, and de
serves a few good, hard bitfs,
right in the mouth.
The Argenta News intimates
that Prosecutor Rhoton is not
pushing the prosecution of the
legislative boodlers as impartially
and sincere a* he should, and says
that if John Keel of Newport, 1
W ill Cate of Jonesboro, George
'frevathan of Batesville and a few
ethers, should be put in the sweat
box and the screws clamped on
tight, they would unfold a story
that would shock the morals, not
only of all the decent people of
Arkansas, but would make the
murderers and burgulars in the
penitentiary hang thoir heads with
shame. If our friend Trevathan
wants to become famous, now is
Ids time to ’fess up.
It is freely predicted that the
contention of the Republicans that
the possession of a poll tax receipt
is not a necessary requisite to the
right to vote, will not result in
any wholesale attempt by the anti
poll tax brigade to vote in the ap
proaching election, as was tirst
supposed, for the sheriffs of sev
eral counties have arranged to se
cure the names of persons who at
tempt to vote without having paid
their poll tax, and will then pro
ceed to collect same, together with
all costs, amounting to This
is a good idee vtte Journal
hopes to see pf Kaneaster do
the same The man who
tries to eV'ade the payment of his
poll tax should be disfranchised.
It is said that during Mr. Bry
an’s tour of the world, his weekly
letters describing his travels,
which have boon published in a
number of American papers have
brought him a thousand dollars a
week. ____________
THE NEWS’ OUTBREAK
The Batesville News seemed
greatly worried last week because
it thought Hon. T. J. Raney would
continue in the race for state sen
ator and published the pledge
which he and the various other
candidates signed before entering
the primary, the trend of its lab
ored effort being that Mr. Raney
is not a good Democrat. This is
the first time The Journal hits ev
er heard Mr. Raney’s Democracy
questioned, and the. fact that he
stepped down and out when all in
dications pointed to the fact that
he had received more votes in the
primary than Mr. Hinkle, indi
cates that he is a much better Dem
ocrat than the News man has given
him credit with being.
There are a great many Demo
crats in Independence county—
good people, too, whose hon
esty and integrity, when stack
ed up alongside that of Brother
Trevathan’s, would make him look
like a molehill alongside of a
mountain—who will never believe
that Mr. Hinkle is the rightful
nominee of the party, despite Mr.
Trevathan’s labored efforts to con
vince them that he is.
The Journal does not say this
because of any dislike for Senator
Hinkle, or because of any special
love for Mr. Raney. They are
both personal friends to the editor
of this paper, and we respect them
as such, but we are free to confess
that it does not look good to us to
see a man who has not been in the
county hardly long enough to
know the way home after dark,
cast insinuations and reflections
upon his superiors merely because
they have the moral courage to
tight for their rights.

EDHONDSON 5PEAKS
Hon. \\r. W. Edmondson of
Stone county, one of the Demo
cratic candidates for state senator,
addressed a fair sized audience at
the Hatton hall here Monday. Mr.
Edmondson claims to have been
defrauded out of the nomination
by the re-count which took place
at Batesville several days after the
primary last spring' and is making
a determined tight to have the
wrong righted.
He has many friends in this
part of the county and will doubt
less get a good vote here. Re
ports from Christian and Magness
townships indicate that he will
probably carry those townships
also.
SCHOOLMATE OF SAGE
—
Mrs. Ledona Rolfe of Mountain

83rd birthday, was a schoolmate
of Russell Sage and his two sisters
in the state of New York. She
says the family were in very mod
erate circumstances, but good peo
ple and highly respected. In ear
ly youth Russell Sage seemed to
have a mania for money-making
and every venture he took seemed
to result in pecuniary advantage.
