Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
WILL NEWARK FOLLOW SUIT?
We note that the town of Mag
nolia, in Columbia county, is plan
ning an active campaign of adver
tising as a means of bringing new
enterprises and more people to
the town.
An organization of the business
and . professional men of the town
has been formed to raise the funds
and carry on the work.
Here is an example that New
ark would do well to follow. There
are doubtless many new enterpris
es that could be induced to come
to Newark if our advantages were
rightly brought to the attention of
the outside world.
Newark needs nothing more
than a few industrial enterprises
that will furnish employment for
labor. The tin bucket brigade are
the real producers of wealth in
any town. Newark needs more
people who want to work and will
work, and there should be some or
ganized movement set on foot to
secure enterprises that will bring
more of this class of people within
our borders.
Shall we call a meeting for the
purpose of organizing a Boosters
Club? _
Before we can have modern
conveniences in Newark, we must
be willing to pay for them. Other
towns have electric lights, water
works, paved streets and other
conveniences, because their peo
ple are willing to Vote a tax to
pay for these things. Newark
could have these things if our peo
ple would unite and form the
town into one or more improve
ment districts and levy a tax to
pay for them. The taxes paid are
soon converted into dividends from
the pleasures and conveniences de
rived and from the increased val
ues of all kinds of property.
A correspondent wants to know j
when to use “shall” and “should.” j
Never use “shall” when you should j
use“should” and never use“should” i
when you should use “shall”. In
short we should always say“should”
whenever we should, and should
never say “shall” when we should
say “should.” Is that plain enough?
—Exchange.
Now that’s just as clear as mud,
and if the Arkansas Gazette will
keep its grammatical finger out of
it, and not go to juggling with it
or stirring it up, anybody can see
through that.
Mississippi county is said to be j
one of the wealthiest counties in
the state, and yet the average as-!
sessment of land in that county is |
only $10.25 per acre, the average
assessment of mules is $64 and the
total amount of money assessed in
the county is $134,850. In Inde
pendence county the average as
sessment of land is $14 per acre,
mules $63, and the total money
assessed in the county is $481,595.
Independence county assesses more
money than any other county in
the state._
The cotton crop grown on the
State convict farm last year yield
ed the state $146,943.92, as com
pared with $119,930.50 for the
crop of the preceding year. The
1910 crop consisted of 1,406 bales
and the last of the crop was just
sold a few days ago. The state
sold Slc.OOO worth of seed and
$128,943.92 worth of lint. The av
erage price received for the cot
ton was 13.03 cents per pound.
The convict farm has pro ven a
profitable investment for the state.
Twenty citizens of Jackson
county have petitioned the prose
cuting attorney to cease prosecu
ting the farmer boys for gambling.
But why the farmer boy? Should
not the farmer boy be a law abid
ing citizen, the same as any other
boy? The Journal believes in an
equal and just enforcement of the
law all the time, without regard
for the occupation or the place of
residence of the offenders, and we
do not believe the farmer boys
want any such privileges granted
them.
The TradesDay organization has
done more to unify the people of
Newark than anything that has oc
cured here in three years. If it did
nothing else, it is well worth the
money spent. But it has done more,
and is capable of doing much more
than has been done, if properly
handled. Are we going to let it
die? _
In Colorado women have been
given the right to vote, and there
are three women in the legislature
now in session in that state. They
are taking an active part in the
proceedings and nothing has trans
pired to show that they are any
more “looney” than the other
members._
A movement has been launched
to build a good road from Mound
City, on the Mississippi river,
through Crittenden, Cross and
Woodruff counties, to Augusta on
White river. The state cannot
have too many good roads.
Up to the close of business Sat
urday evening, 202 bills had been
itroduced in the senate and 238 in
the house, making a total of 440
in both houses, which goes to show
that the legislators are doing their
best to earn their salary.
“I ganny, that gal is a wearing
of britches that aint got but one
laig,” was the remark of and old
time farmer when he first saw a
lady in a hobble skirt. And in fact
the old man did not miss the mark
very far. _
If Newark had a commercial or
ganization of some kind, we could
get together and do many things
that would help the town to grow.
Let’s adopt the hen as the offi
cial emblem of Newark, and when
we do anything worth while,
cackle. ______
Why not put Doc Cook on the
trail of Miss Arnold?
Nervous
Prostration
“I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles’
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, I soon found myself re
covering, and am to-dav well.”
MRS. D. I. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It’s the. nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves j
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can harrltv miss
it ff you take Dr. Miles’ Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
docs not benefit he will return
your money.
THE SOCIALISTS REPLY
(Continued from page 1)
necessaries of life and be kings ov
er the others. For instance, we
have railroad kings, oil kings, etc.
It was nature for some men, bom
away back yonder when land was
plentiful, to secure large tracts of
land—and they are now collecting
money from renters, and buying
more land. It is quite natural for
such a system to lead to a few men
owning all the land, all the rail
roads and all of everything. When
they do this, it is quite natural that
tney win oppress the masses until
the people will rebel, with a bloody
war, and destroy all property, and
upset the whole government.
Now we Socialists believe it
would better to settle this matter
some other way—better for both
the capitalists and the laborers.
There is only one way to settle
this matter, and that is for the
farmers and laborers of all classes
to get the idea properly fixed in
their heads that they are the foun
dation of this government; that
they are the life and support of ev
ery institution, and that they have
a right to take possession of the
government and use its powers to
establish a co-operative common
wealth.
This would put a stop to all
forms of robbery; and I challenge
Mr. Lindsey to say that we have j
no right to do this, in the same
way that we put the private post
masters, the toll-road and the toll
bridge men out of business.
This is Socialism, and we are sat
isfied with it; and when we try'
more of it, we will be satisfied with j
it. This would enable us to have j
private homes and everything that
is privately used. As it is, the
masses are unable to own scarcely
any property, not even a home. We
are in favor of public ownership of
public utilities, and private owner
ship of things privately used.
Mr. Lindsey says the Socialists
kick about working the roads.
Write to our county judge and ask
if I did not call a good roads meet
ing in connection with our Farmers I
Union meeting, and secure consid
erable donations, and if we did not
build a good road, and if I was not
one of the heaviest contributors.
When the people become educ
ated to the point where they can
see that they can better their con
dition by eliminating the middlcv
man and establishing co-operation,
then they will do it.
Now, if Mr. Lindsey can get
down to facts and expose what I
have said, let him do so, and then
let him take the 1910 platform and
expose that. I am discussingmodem
Socialism, which is pure Democ
racy. W. P. Detherow.

BACKING UP
OUR ADVERTISING
Its mighty easy for some stores to
promise you great things if you will
only visit their store.
Its mighty easy to tell you of such
things, and of the splendid assortment,
lower prices, superior service, etc., but
backing it up is quite a different thing.
1 am here to back up every state
ment 1 make, with a good stock, lower
prices, a better and more satisfactory
service and liberal terms.
Just give me an opportunity and I
will show you how I back up every
statement I make.
