IMMACULATE INNOCENCE
The Newark .Journal seems dis
posed to twit this paper over the
result of the recent primaries. It
isn't fair to “rub it in.’’—Sharp
County Record.
Using the above as a text, the
Walnut Ridge Times attempts to
lecture the benighted newspaper
editors whom it alleges were
“bought up” in the campaign pre
ceding the recent Democratic pri
maries.
Ihe Journal readily admits that
we entertain a very high reyard
for the Sharp County Record, and
believe it to be an honest, con
scientious newspaper, but we can
not agree with the Times that it
is always right. In fact, we hap
pen to know several men w hom
we believe possess as much honor
and wisdom as either the editor of
the Record or the editor of the
Times, and, so far as we know,
none of them have ever been con
sidered infallible.
As to having been ‘'bought up,’"
which the Times so glibly charges
indiscriminately against some of
the newspapers, The Journal se
riously doubts if there was even a
single newspaper in the state
“bought up" by anyone during
the recent campaign.
In fact, if there is a >ingle news
paper in this section of the state
that could be “bought up,” wedo
not know it.
It is our belief that there is
fully as much honor and integrity
among newspaper men as any
other class of business or profes
sional men, and we do not believe
they are in the market to tie
“bought up” as chattels to be
used at the pleasure of the poli
ticians, or anyone else.
The Times casts a serious re/lec
tion upon the newspaper men of
the state, and indirectly upon
itself, when it makes such a broad
and indiscriminate charge against
their integrity.
Whereof ha- tire editor of the
Times gained such sublime heights
of honor so far above his former
evil associates and contaminated
surroundings that he can now look
down with disdain upon his con
temporaries and declare them all
corrupt but himself and Editor
Coger/
Can it be that corruption
j is so virulently rampant among |
the newspaper editors that none
have escaped its withering touch,
save Lindsey and Coger'
Are all others subject to fall as
helpless victims within its vora
cious grasp, and they alone re
main immune!
But, strange as it may seem to
this immaculately innocent critic,
the man who is truly honest and
honorable in all things, never flip
i pantly casts reflections upon the
honesty and integrity of his fel
low-man unless he knows whereof
he speaks. Among those who
know and practice the teachings
of real refinement, the man who
is ever ready to indiscriminately
accuse everybody but himself of
being a knave, is immediately
looked upon with a certain degree
of silent suspicion.
Now if the Times knows and cau
prove that any newspaper editor
wa> “bough up” during the re
cent campaign, let it name the
guilty culprit and The Journal
will gladly join in heaping igno
miny upon his head. But unless
the Times is prepared to do more
than make bald assertions concern
ing the integrity of its contempor
aries, we hope it will hereafter
have the decency to keep quiet.
STOPPING A LEAK
The state that collects as much
money from the people in taxes
as does Arkansas and is then un
able to meet necessary expenses
is being bled to death somewhere
along the line by somebody con
nected with the management of the
state’s affairs. The man who can't
see that much, ought to be bored
for the simples.—Sharp County
Record.
The Journal readily agrees with
the Record that there is a “screw
loose’’ somewhere in the manage
ment of the state’s affairs. In fact
about every two years several
| “loose screws,’’ “cheap screws,”
,“gimlet screws” and other i
j “screws” of kindred character and
i caliber, assemble at Little Rock
i and make a raid upon the state
i treasury, as if they thought there
were no limitations to the peoples'
willingness and ability to dig down
in their jeans for more money with
'l which to re-Hll the state’s depleted
| strong box.
The big leak through which so
much of the state’s revenue es
j capes, is the legislature. If Bro.
I Coger doesn’t believe it, let him
! supply himself with a dozen pen
cils, a ream of paper and then *it
down some day and figure out the
total expenditures of an average
isession of the legislature.
As little as is thought of it by
the average citizen, the la*t three
session* of the legislature have
spent approximately ninety thou
sand dollars of the state’s money
for newspapers and stamps for the
private use of its members. ’
Kaeh session of the legislature
for the past six years ha* been ex
tended at least fifty days more
'' A 5 JM' AHA. ’ A ’ A ” A/ 5 ’
than the constitutional limit. 1
costs the state approximately
$1200 a day for each day the legis
lature is in session. This makes i
total of $180,000 extra pay th<
members have voted themselves ir
six years. Add to this the amoun
expended for papers and stamps
and we have a total of $270,000. •
Is it any wonder that the stat<
treasury is empty?
What else can we expect but tc
have an empty treasury, when tin
members of the legislature virtu
ally rob the state of more than i
quarter of a million dollars in si.1
years?
Can any state prosper undei
such a regime as that?
When the people of the stab
begin to elect as legislators, hon
est, conscientious, conservative
men of good judgment and bust
ness ability men who place i
higher estimate upon patriotism
personal and political integrity
honesty, justice and right, that
they do upon petty partisan poll
tics, greed and personal gain anc
aggrandiszement then, and noi
until then, will the greatest leal
in the state's finances be properly
and effectually stopped, and the
state and her citizens started upor
the broad highway to permanent
prosperity and well being.
A peculiar feature of the recent
blizzard is that while we of the
Sunny South were experiencing
the coldest April weather in a
quarter of a century, the north
western part of the country was
sweltering in a summer’s >un.
The temperature in Arkansas last
Sunday registered as low7 as 30
degrees,and at Walla Walla. Wash.,
on that day all records for hot
weather in April were broken by
a temperature of s:i degrees.
It was just two .years ayo last
Sunday that l)r. Cook “discover
ed" the North l'ole. Hut we are
not informed as to what ellect that
had on the weather.
Better take a yood look at the
comet, for very likely you will not
he here when it re-appears seven
ty-live years hence.
If you don't like this weather,
just blame the comet.

It is m.y pleasure to inform you
that the first summer session of
the University of Arkansas will
be held during the coming sum

1 closing July 23. The curriculum
will consist of courses of grammar

courses. This is an unusual op
portunity for our teachers, many
of whom are unemployed in the
summer, to brush up on their work
and at a very small expense pre
pare themselves to do better work
in the future.
The regular equipment of the
University will be placed at the
disposal of the students of the
summer session, and rno-T of the
heads of departments will give in
struction in their specialties. Ar
rangements have been made to
provide rooms and board in the
University dormitories at very
low prices. No tuition fee will
be charged, each student paying
only the regular matriculation fee
of $10. The total expenses of the
six weeks course need not be more
than $35, not including railroad
. fare, and you will enjoy the sum
mer away from home, which will
be of benefit to you.
The summer session also affords
an opportunity for students in
tending to enter college, but who
! are deficient in some of their work,
I ;
| to make up their deficiencies.
Credit towards entrance will be
; given for all preparatory courses,
and college credits for college

bers of visitors go there from all
part' of the state and from other
states to escape the burdens of the
, hot season and to enjoy the tine
climate of the mountains. The
, students of the summer session
will have the two-fold advantage
/of the instruction afforded by a
tirst-class University and also the
pleasure of a summer vacation
spent amid delightful surround
ings. Cun L. Pearck,
County .Judge.
