The Kansas City Journal is authori
ty for the statement that out of the 10a
counties in the state of Kansas at least
50 have no paupers. Nearly one-half
of the county poor farms are unoccu
pied, except by the keeper who draws
his salary and waits for patronage.
It is much easier to lead people than
to drive them. We often hear it said
that a person was “‘driven to destruc
tion.” As a rule this person was led
to destruction. There are many
snares and pit-falls in the highway of
life, and many are lured to destruc
tion by those who enjoy seeing others
brought to their own level.
I Ten years ago today, Commodore
I Dewey’s squadron met the Spanish
fleet in Manila bay, and won the great
victory that made him famous.
No such widespread and destructive
storm has swept the country in years
as that which wrought death, devasta
tion and ruin in a number of states
Thurday, Friday and Saturday. The
total number of people killed runs to
near 400, while the list of injured is
about 1400.
Don't teach your children that it is
a shame to wear worn and patched
clothes, if you are not able to afford
better, but that it is no honor in wear
ing new ones that are not paid for. A
poet said, ‘‘Remember, that rags may
cover a boy, who will some day be the
world's great joy.”
It may be news to many people to
know that the farmers of the South
annually plant more acres in the ag
gregate in corn than they do in cotton.
The average yield of corn |>er acre,
however, is very low, which show’s
that the l>est acreage is generally de
voted to cotton and the poorest to corn.
Taft leads in the race for the Re
publican Presidential nomination,
having more instructed delegates to
his credit than any other candidate in
the Held, hut is still short of a majori
ty. Its our opinion that unless Taft
secures enough instructed delegates to
elect him on the first ballot, there will
be a general stampede to Roosevelt
and the Republican national conven
tion will nominate Teddy.
Mayor Coleman and Marshal De
Camp of Batesville have served notice
Vn the illegal dispensers of bug juice
in that city that they must immediate
ly quit this nefarious business, as it is
their intention to at once wage an un
relenting warfare on these violators
of the law. The time was, not many
years ago, when certain citizens of
Batesville seemed to take pleasure in
referring to the existence of blind
tigers in Newark, but we notice that
they have not been so ready to clean
up their own back yard as they were
to criticise their neighbors. We are
glad, however, that the citizens of our
county seat have at last discovered
the beam in their own eye, and are
making preparations to have it re
moved.
HIDE YOUR HAMMER
t f ___
Never forget that you are a part of
! the town and help to make up the
! strangers' estimate of the place. And
remember, too, that it is not altogether
the location of a town, but itscharac
1 ter, that makes it a desirable place to
live. If the town is good enough for
; you to live in, it ought to l>e g( o 1
; enough for you to occasionally speak
well of it and of its business institu
tions, its schools, its churches and its
! people. Don't kick at every improve
: ment that may be suggested simply
because you think it will not directly
1 benefit you. and don’t predict failure
every time any new enterprise is men
tioned.
Don’t go ’round predicting that there
will he nothing made by the farmers
or that there will lie another panic,
simply because you think the grub
worms crawl just like they did in '".'t
I and bedbugs don’t smell any better
| than they did when Cleveland was
| elected.
There is still life and vitality in old
t Mother Earth; Hojk> and Faith are not
| dead, and the Future holds in store
i for no man no more of misery than he
himself, by his own folly and impru
dence. is the chief factor in pulling
down upon his own head.
What if the Republicans do nomi-;
nate and elect Teddy for a third term?
A kiss from your wife will lie just as
sweet as ever, and ham gravy and bis
cuit are not going to loose any of their
good taste.
Don’t go around looking for dark
spots on the sun, and don't lie forever j
calling attention to the faults of your j
neighbors and eternally kicking about
something, but go out behind the barn
and turn the searchlight on yourself, j
make a close examination and see if
you are really just what you think you j
are. Take a good measurment of j
yourself all around, then think of the |
vast and boundless greatness of the j
universe and the endlessness of eter
nity. Man is at best only a very small j
potato whose life is of short duration, i
and it is much better to look on the i
bright side of things and try to get some 1
pleasure and happiness out of life than
to be always predicting calamity and
making yourself miserable and a bore
to your friends.
Don't be a knocker, and if you are
determined to be a pessimist, do try to
be as quiet about it as possible and
don't keep your hammer always in
view and your talking aparatus always
wound up.
BLOOD CURDLING
| Mr. Editor: I have been asked by
some of your readers to give a short
sketch of my life and travels, in part.
I will {five a short page of my ups
and some of my downs and will try to
confine my self to fact* and fiction.
I, at one time, lived in the Missis
sippi swamps and* wilderness, when I
was a lad of 18 or It). The country
was very thinly settled, houses being
10 to 18 miles apart. That was about
the year of 18U7, and I was like all
other thoughtless boys of my age
ready to go into anything proposed to
me —unless it was work. The thought
of work was almost horrifying to me.
Just about the first of October of
that year, appeared a man by the
name of Scroggins, professing to be a
great trapper and hunter, and proved
to me the first dash out of the box that i
me and him, by going into the trap- j
ping business, could come .out by j
spring and shed off the moss and be j
rich gentlemen. Fie made it just ns
plain to me as the nose on Dr. Rose
brough’s face that we could succeed,so
we bundled our trappings and away
we went, very much against the wish j
of my people. At that time the coun
try had all kinds of wild beasts, bear,
wolf, panther, wild cat, catamount,
mink, coon, turkey, deer and many j
other kind of animals that 1 cannot |
call to memory just now. It was just
a matter of picking up yourself and
going to the forest to feed the ravinous
beasts your carcass. It was my am
bition to be a great hunter and kill a
bear, but I did not kill the old fellow,
as 1 expected. But just wait and see;
how near iie got me. It is almost
enough to make my heart stand still j
to think of it. Well we had reached j
the place by 2 o’clock where we wanted <
to go into camp. We soon had our
tent up and was eating our first meal !
in our new home, 20 miles from any
settlement. After the meal Scroggins
says, “let's go out a little way and
get some wild meat for supper and
breakfast," of course I was ready for
the fun. We started with old Tige,
our dog, and a chopping ax, leaving
our winchesters at the camp, never j
thinking of the awful danger we were
diving into. We had hardly got out
of sight of our camp when we heard
old Tige having a conversation with
some wild animal. We hurried on to
see what he was so interested about.
He had found one of those large swamp
rabbits in a hollow log. We were not
long in getting the chap ready for our
own use and benefit, the thought never 1
presenting itself to us the awful danger ,
we were in byedressing the rabbit right
out where we had no protection from
the wild beasts that might scent tile
blood. We started hack to camp feel
ing perfectly safe. Little did we think
that there was a large panther crouch
ing near by in the jungles of that
wilderness making his calculations to
have human flesh for his supper. Old
Tige had made it to the camp, Scrog
gens had got up on the little skeleton
fence that we had put round our camp
as a kind of protection. Scroggins
says “hurry up.” I made for the
fence and just as I leaped from the
fence. \ woke up: and dog my hide the
sun was nearly an hour high, and I
says to myself 1 ought to be right now
a diggin' in that ar ‘tater patch.
Trapper.
TAFT A UNITARIAN
A friend of The Newark Journal as cs
if Secretary Taft is of tin* Roman
Catholic faith, and The Journal passes
up the question for some one else to
answer. A similar inquiry was recent
ly answered by one of the leading
newspapers of Cincinnati, the homt^
city of the Tafts. Mr. Taft is a Uni
tarian. his wife is a communicant of
the Protestant Episcopal church: no
member of the family is a Roman
Catholic. Mr. Taft, however, by his
ability^nd tin* broad-minded, lilieral
spirit in which he negotiated and set
tled the serious complications in the
Philippine Islands gained the confi
dence and high esteem of the leaders
of the Roman Catholic church, includ
ing tin* Po)>e. as it will be remembered
that church had very great invested
interests in read estate in the Islands
as well as overwhelming religious con
trol of their inhabitants.—Batesville

ONLY ONE WAY TO
- RETAIN HEALTH
Young Man with New Theory Says All De
pends on Stomach.
L. T. Cooper’s theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
become chronically deranged by mod
ern conditions, and that sickness gen
erally Is the result.
In a recent interview, while Intro
ducing his medicine in a leading city,
Mr. Cooper said: “There is just one
way, in my opinion, to maintain gen
eral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast ma
jority of Americans today have weak,1
flabby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations of
over-feeding and lack of exercise, until
today the entire civilized race is af
fected. This is the true cause of most
of the 111 health of today. Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
is once more brought back to normal
conditions.
“I am successful because my prepa
ration puts the stomach in sound con-,
ditiom and as I maintain this is thei
only way to secure general and per*
manent good health.”
Among many prominent people what
have recently become converted to
Cooper’s theory Is Mr. E. M. Howey, of
47De Hussey,Street, Binghamton,
N. Y., who says: “I had stomach
trouble for about six years. After eat
ing. I would become bloated and have
a distressed feeling for several hours.
This would be accompanied by heart
burn, and I reached the point where K
could not enjoy my meals at all.
“I tried different remedies In an ef
fort to find relief, but without success.
After taking three bottles of Cooper’s
New Discovery I am entirely cured.
My stomach does not bother me in the
least, and I can eat anything I like.
I can cheerfully recommend Mr. Coop
er’s medicine to anyone afflicted wfth
stomach complaints."
Mr. Cooper’s medicines are making
a remarkable record. We sell them*'
