MOW TO MAKE MISCHIEF
Keep your eyes on your neigh
bors. Take care of them. Do
not let them stir without watching.!
They may do something wrong if
you do. To be st.re you never
knew them to do anything bad,
but it may be on your account
they have not. Perhaps if it had
not been for your kind care they
might have disgraced themselves
a long time ago. Therefore do
not relax any effort to keep them
where they ought to be. Never
mind your own business that
will take care of itself. There is
a man passing along he is looking
over the fence be suspicious of
him; perhaps he contemplates
stealing, some of these dark nights;
there is no knowing what queer
fancies he may have got into his
head.
If you find any symptoms of any
one passing out of the path of
duty, tell eveyone else what you
see, and be particular and see a
great many. It is a good way to
circulate such things, it may not
benefit yourself or any one else
particularly. I)o keep something
going—silence is a dreadful thing;
though it is said there was silence
in heaven for the space of half an
hour, do not let such a thing occur
on earth; it would be too much for
this nundane sphere.
If, after all your watchful 'care
you cannot see what they have
done anything bad, throw out
hints that they are no better than
they should be that you should
not wonder if the people found
out what they were after a while
then they may not carry their
heads so high. Keep it going, and
some one may take the hint and
begin and help it along after a
while then there will be music,
and everything will work like a
charm.
Follow the above directions and
you will be pretty sure to make
plenty of mischief.
Our office is a sort of free con
gress. People of all ages, of each
sex, of all political beliefs and re
ligious creeds, come in to discuss
their isms, argue questions, ask
for information and seek consola
tion in their troubles. We do our
best for them and the generally
go out into the cold world feeling
refreshed. Come and see us the
“latch-string” is always out, chairs
furnished and spittoons improvis
ed when necessary.
Yes, its the little things that
hurt. A common every-day meas
ly little fly will make an ordinary
man swear forty strokes to the
minute, while if the same man had
his head taken off by a July tor
nado he wouldn’t say a word
about it.
GOV. DONAGHEY FAVORS
GRANDFATHER CLAUSE
Would Eliminate Negro From Pol
itics—Denounces the Present
Process of Intimidation
Little Rock, July 13.—Gov. Don
aghey today gave out a statement
favoring the proposed grandfath
er clause amendment to the state
constitution. He says:
“1 am in favor of the passage of
the grandfather clause amend-j
ment to the constitution. From
every viewpoint it is better to j
eliminate the negro from politics.
In the South racial conditions will
not permit of his engaging in poli
tics. Several states in the south
have the grandfather clause. It is
better for the negro, because when
he does not engage in politics he
will cease to antagonize the white
man, can look better after his own
affairs and in every other way oh
tain a better recognition.
“Then so long as we do not per- <
mit the negro to vote any way,
why not do it legally instead of by
the process of elimination? It is
true that there are a few negroes
who ought to be permitted to
vote, but as a race it would un
questionably be bad policy to per
mit their voting by the wholesale.
“Statistics show there are in the
neighborhood of 100,000 negroes
of voting age in Arkansas. If one
of them is entitled to a vote all
are. This number would be suf
ficient to carry any election in the
state. In Jefferson county alone
there are about 6,000 negroes of j
voting age, and 3,000 white vot
ers. The same ratio exists in i
many other counties of the state.
“By all means let us pass this j
amendment to the constitution,
and then let us have absolutely
fair elections between white men.
Let every white man’s vote be
counted just as he voles it. As the
matter now stands, the state board
of election commissinors is worii
ed to death all the time just prior
to elections by committees and
factions from the black districts
of the state wanting the appoint
ment of certain election commis
sioners, the excuse being that the
Democratic ticket is imperilled be
cause of the excessive number
of negroes in those districts. As
a matter of fact, the real purpose
is to deny the negro the legal
right he now has to vote.
“Again this practice has been
carried on until it has not stopped
with the negro, but has been ex
tended by the dominant factions
to the counting out of white men’s
votes.
“Let us be sincere and honest in
what we are doing; be open and
fair, and state openly what we in.
tend to do.
I A.'IILY REUNION AT FAIR

Every person by that name in
