FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1907
With planting seed selling at
$50 to $75 a ton, it ought not to
be a very hard matter for the
average farmer to reduce his cot
ton acreage.
We notice in an exchange that
a certain merchant is advertising
a towel and a cake of of soap for
Jive cents. Now if some of the
enterprising merchants of Newark
would do likewise, we might afford
to clean up.
-
Corrupt or vicious conditions in j
a community often affect even the!
judiciary. The inferior courts,
in many instances, will hesitate to
antagonize what they consider the
strong side, if that side is active in
public affairs.
That new heir to the throne of
Spain was named the other day,
.and, names being somewhat
scarce, he was christened Alfonso!

It is reported that Prof. J. H. j
Hinemon, former state superin
tendent of public instruction, will
make the race for governor in the
event Governor Little is not a can-1
didatc for a second term, which is |
now very propable.
Let every citizen of Newark lay
aside all personal differences and
work together for the advance
ment of the town. We have here
resources and advantages, which,
if properly used, will make New
ark one of the best and most pros
perous town in the whole state of
Arkansas.
The Rock Island railroad has
recently established an immigra
tion agency at Rome, Italy, for
the purpose of inducing the better
class of Italian farmers to move to
America and locate in Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas. This road
now has two immigration agencies
in Europe, the other being located
in London, and is bringing many
people to the United States.
To bring up a child in the way
he should go, travel that way
yourself. Stories first heard at
another’s knee are never wholly
forgotten; a little spring that never !
=dries up on our journey through
scorching years. The sooner you
get a child to be a law unto him
self, the sooner you make a man
of him. Children need models
more than criticism. We can never
check wh;U is bad in the young
•unless we cherish what is good in
them.
President John Martin of the
National Cotton Congress has is
sued from Paris, Texas, a call for
the second annual meeting of the
National Cotton Congress to con- i
*vene at Monte Ne, Ark., June 17,
1907. This is the second annual
meeting of this organization which
is composed of representatives
from every phase of the cotton in
dustry. It v not intended as a
rival organization of the S. C. A.
or Farmers’ Union but as a co
ordinate body supplementing the
work of both.
To a committee who visited him
for the purpose of trying to get
the mayor of Chicago to put the
Sunday lid on in that city, the
mayor is reported to have said:
“I’ll tell you, gentlemen, my
ideas. When I became unruly as
a boy and wouldn’t mind my
mother, she told father, and he
took a bed slat to me. That’s the
thing—the bed slat: more bed slat
by the parents and less reform by
law.” A good healthy bed slat,
properly applied, would no doubt
have changed the course of many
a wayward boy if his parents had
exercised the proper discretion in
using it at the critical period.
WHERE WILL IT END?
St. Louis ministers have formed
an organization and will take a
test case to the supreme court for
the purpose of trying to prove
that saloons have no legal right to
exist.
In the circuit court of Boone
county, Indiana, .lunge Samuel R.
Artman recently rendered a sweep
ing decision, in sustaining a re
monstrance against granting a sa
loon license, in which he holds
that the beverage liquor business
is hurtful to the public safety,
morals and health; and that under
decisions of the United States su
preme court, which holds that no
ligislation can be enacted to bar
gain away the public morals or
safety, and. therefore, the
saloon, being a recognized source
of vice and crime, liquor selling is
not a constitutional right of any
American citizen, and that even
the people themselves have no
constitutional right to barter away
the public safety, morals and
health, by voting to license saloons.
There is the greatest prohibition
wave sweeping the entire country
today that was ever witnessed per
haps in any country, and the final
outcome will be watched with a
great deal of interest by every
thoughtful citizen, no matter upon
which side of the question he may
happen to be.

they passed to the rostrum for the j
purpose of performing the part
assigned them, and to note the
splendid courage displayed in j
their effort to excel, is due cause ■
for one to exclaim, “Oh! Were I
a child again.”
Were we permited to blot out
thirty or forty years of our spent
life and place ourselves on a level
with the.se brave little boys and
girls, no doubt we would be pur- |
suaded to turn asde from many of
our evil doings, and finally, when I
it came ours to die, and we began
to reflect over the past, we could
truthfully say, “Really, life was
worth living.”
At a very early hour in the fore- j
noon and evening, people from far j
and near began to throng to the \
church building and long before,
the hour had arrived for the morn
ing exercises to begin the house
was filled to its utmost capacity.
The music furnished by the
choir was most excellent, and aid
ed materially in making it an oc
casion which one could not regret
having attended.
The short talks delivered by \
Bros. Jernigan and Rice were very '
instructive and to the point. Bro.
Rice laid stress on the subject
“How to Live” that we may have
a peaceful hour in which to die.
A kindly and unselfish feeling
j seemed to exist throughout the
: entire congregation and a grand
| good time was the result.
May the Ford crown the efforts
of these dear children and may
they become usdful and intelligent
men and women in the future, is
the wish of A Spectator.

KILLED BY A MULE
The twelve-year-old son of Mr.
