LOW RATE FOR REUNION
Iron Hountain Issues Handsome
Booklet and Announces Rate
of One Cent a Mile
One of the neatest booklets we
have seen in some time has
been issued by the passenger de
partment of the Iron Mountain
giving a number of views of the
the capital city, where the Confed
erate Re-Union is to be held the
15th, lbth, 17th and 18th of May,
together with a lot of valuable in
formation about the reunion plans
hotel accommodations, etc., and
some concise information about
the resources of our great and
growing state.
Every indictation points to this
as the greatest Reunion ever held
and every citizen should feel proud
to have such a gathering in their
state.
For this occasion the Iron Moun
tain has named the lowest rate ev
er made; namely, one cent per mile
plus twenty five cents. You can go
to Little Rock and return home
each day during the Reunion for
practically the cost of remaining in
Little Rock over night, and
their train schedules are being ar
ranged to accomodate those who
desire to do this.
Time limit of tickets may be ex
tended to June 14 for return trip
by presenting same to agent at
Little Rock for extension, and the
payment of a fee of fifty cents.
Tickets for side trips to any point
west of the Mississippi river will
be sold at rate of one fare plus
fifty cents for the round trip, with
final return limit June 10. Side
trip tickets will be on sale at Lit
tle Rock only.
The Iron Mountain’s handsome
Rooklet extends a cordial invitation
to the people to come to Arkansas,
and mentions a few of her many re
sources. Several thousand of these
books have been printed and given
wide circulation in all parts of
the country, and we feel confident
that much benefit to the state will
result therefrom.
NEWARK NOW A CITY
The bill raising Newark to a
city of the second class has passed
both houses of the legislature, and
now awaits only the governor’s
signature to become a law.
NOTICE TO HUNTERS
We have posted our pastures
and will allow no hunting in them.

OFFERS BI6LE EVIDENCE
Opposes Woman Suffrage Because
He Claims it is Contrary to
Teachings of the Bible
Mr. Editor.- I notice that recent
issues of The Journal contained
articles on woman's right to vote.
I am opposed to women voting
because it is contrary to the teach
ings of the Bible. Every person
who teaches that women should
vote, don’t believe the Bible, is a
blasphemer of the words of the
Bible, and is an infidel, and should
be sent to jail for heresy.
All voters are equal. Women
can’t vote because they are not
equal to men, for the Bible says
the head of woman is man. (1 Cor
3-16.) They are commanded to
be obedient to their husbands. (1
Cor. 11-34.) This shows that they
are inferior to men, and not their
equal, and to try to make them so
would be to violate the scriptures.
Women can’t vote because the
Bible commands them not to speak
in public. The Bible says let
women keep silent in churches for
it is not permitted unto them to
speak in churches, and if they
would learn anything let them ask
their husbands, at home, for it is a
shame for a woman to speak in
church or in public. (1 Cor. 11: 34
35.) And the Bible also says let
the women dress in plain dresses,
and with shamed faces, and not
with braided hair, learn in quiet
ness and subjection. (1 Tim. 2-9. )
Now how could they vote with
out speaking in public, and look
shame-faced, as they are by the
holy writ commanded to look? And
besides they might want to vote
contrary to their husband's teach
ings. For instance, it has been j
suggested that she would vote
against saloons. But her husband
might want saloons, and this
would be contrary to the scrip
tures, because it is not obedience.
Woman is not fit to vote because
she is only a side issue to man, for
according to the Bible, she was
made out of a rib taken from
man’s side. (Gen. 2:22.) There
fore she is only a side issue of man
and not his equal, and the bible
never intended that she should
rule over man with her vote, or;
any other way.
Woman is not fit to vote because
she was intended as a servant to
man, and not his equal, for the
bible says “And thy desires shall
be to .thy husband and he shall
rule over thee." (Gen. 3:16. ) Suf
fer not a woman to usurp over

STATEMENT FROM THE
COUNTY DEPOSITORY
To the People of Independence
County:
The undersigned County Depos
itor}- feels that the citizens and
taxpayers of the county are entitled
to know the facts about the Coun
ty Depository matter which was
referred to in the report of the re
rent Grand Jury.
Pursant to the act of 1907, Hon.
J. Craig, county judge, advertis
?d for competitive bids for the
rounty funds for a period of two
rears from February 1st, 1911.
This bank submitted its bid, which
-vas accepted by the County Court;
md the required bond was given
md approved by proper order of
rourt. Thereupon, the court enter
'd an order designating this bank
is the County Depository, and di-j
ected that the Treasurer should
leposit all funds in his hand in the
depository within ten days, and
hat the Collector of Taxes should
urn over to the Treasurer all1
noney collected by him within fif
een days after collecting same,
hat it might be transferred to the
Depository and begin drawing in
erest. These are the requirements
)f the law. The Treasurer has
)een observing and complying
vith these requirements, his ac
:ount, however, at no timeexceed
ng the sum of,$17,616 J7, and now
hands at about $10,000.00. The
Collector of Taxes, however, has
lot complied with the require
ments, of the law or order of Court
upon his part. The collections of
his year’s taxes to date aggregate
‘rom the best information obtain
tble, approximately $100,000.00,
io part of which has been deliver
'd to this Depository, but is being
cept elsewhere by the Collector.
Phis amount, of course, is not
Irawing interest, and the county |
s the loser to that extent. We
hand ready to pay the agreed
ate of interest to the county up
>n daily balances when same has
)een placed with us as required by
aw and the orders of court.
The only motive we have in is
suing this statement is that the
lublic may know the true facts,
md that the responsibility may be
ilaced where it belongs.

SAYS SYSTEM UNJUST
Unrest Among People Calls For
Change—Ask Aid of Women
to Purify Politics
Editor Newark Journal. In re
ference to A Header’s article in
which he attempts to answer Vot
er in regard to Woman Suffrage,
he agrees with Voter as to there
being another side to the question
but if there is he utterly fails to
bring it out.
He begins by repeating what he
terms the “old story”—“a good
woman is the greatest of all God’s
creation,” and asks is such the case
since women have begun to usurp
the places of men in business af
fairs.
Por the information of Mr. A
Reader, 1 would say that no wom
an takes a man’s place in any call
ing or occupation unless it is for
a livelihood, and for those circum
stances she is not to blame.
None will deny that our women
are holding positions that were
formerly held by men, and if they
do so in preference to starving 1
do not blame them for it. But why
should they be driven to compete
| with men in all the occupations?
If the God-given mission of
woman is to bear and rear child
ren, then the God-given mission of
man is to support the woman, and
this they are not all doing, and
cannot do, under our present sys
tem of government. It is for this
reason that woman should be giv
en the ballot with man. She must
work with him; she must bear his
children; she must allow him to
formulate a set of morals for her
to live by; while he himself ob
serves quite a different standard
of morals.
If she has property she must pay
taxes to help support the system
that keeps asking for more money
each year to meet the expenses of
feeding the fat purses of a lot of
useless officers, who were put into
their positions on the supposed
principle that taxation without
representation is tyrany.
A great battle for right has been
lost in Arkansas; but the war has
just begun, and many men are
falling into the ranks and the
emancipation of woman is only a
matter of time. Men are no long
er admitting that their wives,
mothers and sisters are not worthy
the privilege accorded the meanest
drunkard or vilest negro in the
state.
This is indeed an age of prog
