THE CONVICT AND JUSTICE
During every political campaign
and every session of the legislature,
enough is said on the convict question
to solve the problem over and over
again, were those who do so much
talking sincere in their assumed anx
iety over the welfare ottha poor con
We hear a great deal about justice,
and that convicts must not l>e kept
idle, that they must earn their living,
that t! ' people should not be taxed to
feed an army of convicts and so on
and so forth.
When it comes to justice, there is
absolutely no semblance of justice in
the system by which the state punishes
the man who violates her penal
statutes.
Let us see how this works. The state
arrests a young fellow, who, let us
say, in a drunken quarrel has stabbed
a companion. He is hurried away to
prison. He is brought into court,
tried and convicted. He is sent to
prison for live, or for ten years, or
for life all the while a young wife
and perhaps three or four little chil
dren are left without their natural pro
tector and supporter. They huddle in
in a corner of the court room. They
hear the lawyers’ yawp. They listen
to the verdict. The case is closed.
The young father is bundled off in one
directi m ; ' us. 'Hie young family
is turned another in tears. The
stafe t ' ime and the earnings
of tin " If, leaving the other
upon ivies (?) of the world to
take i ! themselves as host thov
may.
The nn '*!ier (i ies of despair. The boys
grow up) 1! ' s. The girls grow up
harlots, i 1 aw is vindicated. The
/ taxpayer >rotected. The criminal
Classes art i plenished. Is it not dam
nable? D< - not the society which
tolerates s rh monstrosities deserve
all the evils t entails upon itself?
The state < as no right to take that
man’s labor from his wife and chil
dren and give them no equivalent. It
should punish the guilty, not the inno
cent. Every dollar that is diverted in
this way from the natural needs of the
helpless to the uses of the public, is
base blood money that should and
does carry with it the curse of God.
Many a man wants more vim in his
home paper, when at the same time he
is carrying a few dollars worth of its
vim around in his pocket.
THE GREATEST DANGER
According to Mr. Carnegie, the very
gravest of the dangers that beset
roung men who aim at success in busi
ness is the habit of intoxicating
liquors. He says in his book, “The
Empire of Business.”
“Hu* first and most seductive peril,
and the destroyer of most young men,
is the drinking of liquor. I am no
temperance lecturer in disguise, but a
man who knows and tells you what ob
servation has proved to him; and I
say to you that you are more likely to
fail in your career from acquiring the
habit of drinking liquor than from any
or all of the other temptations likely
to assail you. You may yield to
almost any other temptation, and re
form-may brace up, and, if not re
cover lost ground, at least remain in
the race, and secure and maintain a
respectable position. But from the
insane thirst for liquor, escape is
almost impossible. I have known but
few exceptions to this rule.”
Where diversified farming is pro
perly appreciated and carried on in
the South there will be found general
agricultural prosperity. In any coun
try where diversity of crops and in
dustries is o-eni'raUv ensratred in. the
farmers are progressing: out of debt and
accumulating property. In the coun
tries where but one crop is the rule, and
that crop made to bear all the burdens
and expenses of the farm, we find the
people generally behind with their
creditors, and but little or no pro
gress being made either in agricultural
development or money accumulation
A farmer finds a one-dollar bill and
appropriates it by right of discovery.
He goes to town and pays it to the
newspaper man on his subscription;
the newspaper man hands it to the
merchant to pay for something he has
just bought: the merchant pays his
meat bill with it: the butcher bands it
back to the farmer to finish paying
for a calf he had purchased: the farm
er then takes it to the bank with some
others for deposit, and is informed
that it is counterfeit. Now the ques
tion arises: Were all these debts paid
or not? _
The home paper is one of the most
telling and forceful advertisements of
a town’s progressiveness. It speaks
ft nr\>i i / . f ♦ 1, n/iA n m/1 ♦
strangers it illustrates the spirit and
enterprise of its people. It is always
well to bear in mind that seekers for
homes and for business locations nev
er pick out dead towns. A small
town where the people are alive and
enterprising’ often holds forth to the
progressive home-seeker greater op
portunities than do the larger cities.
Good schools, good churches and
good roads are fine things to have in
a community. In order to have these
things people must be educated to take
pride in them. Your home paper can
and will do more to encourage all of
these things than any other agency.
Will F. Due who was formerly with
The Journal, is now editor of the
Wewoka (Okla.) Democrat. He is
an excellent and worthy young man
and The Journal wishes him all kinds
of success.
I he man who has an account at the Bank has many
advantages over the one who carries his money in
his pocket —he learns to save the small sums which
the man who carries his money in his pocket spends
for the hundred-and-one things he does not really
need and could get along just as well without.
He pays his bills by check, increasing his credit,
and always has a receipt. He takes good care of his
account and increases his credit at the Bank.
He cun, at any time, tell where his money goes and
see where there is a possibility of saving a little more
for business purpose^.

time to start. Come in and do it today.

The prosperity of our country de
pends so largely upon the prosperity
of the farmers, that everything possi
ble should l>e done to render life in the
rural districts agreeable as well us
profitable: and nothing could conduce
more to the comfort and pleasure of
farm life than good roads. Koad
building is a matter well worthy of
the l>est thought of our people and
The Journal hopes to see it given
more serious attention.
The cotton producers of the South
will never solve the problem of high
price cotton properly until they ap
preciate more fully the imperative
necessity of raising their food and
stock supplies at home. Associations,
conventions and organizations can do
nothing so long as the individual fol
lows a bad system of farming.
The Newport Democrat boasts of
the immense revenue, SKi.OOO a year,
which Newport gets from the saloons.
Would the Democrat mind telling the
public who pays this revenue, and
what the city does with it? How much
ury ? ___

misses many splendid opportunities

BROWN IN THE FIGHT
Brown of Independence opened the
fight for the Gann Statutory Bill as
opposed to submission, and a brave,
manly, strong and timely argument
he made. All along we have said that
it would be worth a trip to Little Rock
to hear Brown speak on prohibition,
and we do not take it back. Just out
side in the lobby was the liquorite
who had him arrested last year. Brown
will stay, while that man will move, or
quit his business. Baptist Advance.

Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take N'yal’s Hot
Springs Blood Remedy—
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.
