ADMIRES THE SAL001S
According to the views of the New
port Democrat, there is only one in
stitution known to American civiliza
tion that our country could not get
along without, and that is the saloon.
We might abolish the schools, the
churches, the American hanking sys
tem, the eleemosynary institutions and
even our forms of our state and na
tional government but the saloons—
never.
Editor Waterman seems to think the
country would go to tire dogs if it had
no saloons, and, according to his
idea, the only thing a man needs to
make him a good citizen is plenty of
booze. No matter if a man and his
family must go half clad, with but
little to eat, and never see inside of a
church or school building, if they
have plenty of bonze and patronize
the saloons liberally, they are all
right and arc fully discharging all
the obligations of good citizensh p.
According to the Democrat’s idea,
it doesn’t matter whether a town or a
community has any schools, churches,
manufacturing, banking and business
Institutions, just so it has plenty of
saloons. Saloons are the only insti
tutions that are an absolute necessity
to a country's prosperity"and, besides,
the abolition of the sahwfn means, in
Waterman’s judgment, an abridgment
of personal liberty that the American
people could never stand for—it would
be an unpardonable crime against
their sacred rights and lil>erties that
would u ean the ultimate overthrow of
the American Republic.
It is allright to take away a man’s
rights and personal lilierties along
any other line, hut the right to run
saloons and make drunkards, loafers,
gamblers and muderers of men and
boys who might otherwise 1m? good
and useful citizens, is the one sacred
right, according to Waterman’s reas
oning, that must not he molested.
It matters not that the American
people are going down in their pockets
for millions of dollars annually to
educate their girls and boys to make
good and useful citizens; it matters
not that we are paying other millions
to good men to preach and lecture to
our hoys and girls on the principles
of right living and good citizenship;
it matters not that we toil and labor
for the better part of our lives in an
honest endeavor to bring up our chil- I
dren in the paths of moral and civic!
righteousness—it matters not about |
any of these things—if a man seeks to i
cut off tite right of some immey-loving
individual to set up and conduct a
business whose every influence leads
away from rather than toward good
citizenship, and tends to degrade rather
than elevate it matters not about any
of these, or how good a citizen a man
may be, if he does not favor setting
up a saloon at every street corner,
Waterman immediately brands him as
a fool and a fanatic who is seeking to
abridge the liberties of the American
people.
Happily, however, men of Water
' man’s stripe are hopelessly in the
minority in Arkansas, and the day is
not far distant when the wailings of
such men and such newspapers as he
and the Democrat will be as scarce as
cockle burrs on the pavements of New
York.

FROLICSOME LAW-MAKERS
The Journal notes with regret that
fifty members of the legislature left
their post of duty in Little Rock and
spent Saturday in Hot Springs like so
many school boys on a lark.
The real purpose of the affair is
self-evident—it was an effort on the
part of the Hot Springs gamblers and
their friends to change the sentiment
of the legislature and secure the pass
age of a law permitting horse racing
at Hot Springs. It is said there were
—and there may have been—some
good men in this frolicsome crowd of
solons, but we believe they could have
chosen better company and a more use
ful way to have spent the day. It is
The Journal’s opinion that any mem
ber of the legislature who absents him
self from his post of duty without good
reason therefor, places a very low
estimate upon his honor and has lit
tle regard for the oath he has taken to
faithfully discharge his duties. It is
no part of the duties of a member of
the legislature to quit his seat in that
body and traipse around over the
state upon the invitation of a few
gamblers and their friends. The tax
payers of Arkansas pay their senators
and representatives to assemble at
Little Rock and legislate for the best
interests of the state, and not to waste
their time in idle and frolicsome ex
cursions here and there at the beck
and call of Tom, Dick and Harry.
The man who places the proper regard
upon his honor and the obligation he
has assumed, will not be guilty of
such disgraceful conduct and direlic
tion of duty.
The member of the legislature who
absents himself from his seat without
valid excuse should forfeit his office.
The man who hires himself to an
other to do certain work for a certain
period of time, loses his job if he
quits his work and goes frolicking
around. The same principle should
apply in the case of public servants.
A great many members of the legis
lature seem to think that the peo
ple elect them for no other purpose
than to go to Little Rock and have a
“big time” doing nothing and frolic
ing around like so many country
school boys on a vacation.
The .Journal is glad to note, how
ever, that neither of Independence
county's representatives were in the
Hot Springs excursion.

THE HAN WHO HAS |
A BANK ACCOUNT I
The man who has an account at the Hank lias 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 can, at any time, tell where his money goes and
see where there is a possibility of saving a little more
for business purposes.
Unless you have a Bank account, right now is the
time to start. Come in and do it today.

The sad events which have occurred
in this community during the past few
weeks, should 1h: suggestive to all men
that the way of righteousness is best.
Every death, whether sudden or
gradual, is a warning to the living
that they, too, must meet the same
inevitable end sooner or later and in
some manner. “Be ye also ready.
says an old Book known and reverenc
ed for its good and timely advice.
The same old Book says “The way of
the transgressor is hard,’’ and the
truthfulness of this statement has
Ix'en proven million of times, yet men
continue to ignore it.
An exchange gives the following as
the result of interviewing thirty busi
ness men and thirty loafers: 1 he
thirty business men had all been flog
ged freely by their parents when they
were boys, while out of the thirty
loafers twenty-seven had been ‘'mam
ma’s darlings’’ and the other three
had been raised by their grandmothers.

Now is a good time for the various
fraternal orders of Newark to get
together and erect a good brick build
ing for a hall. Some arrangement
might be made with the town govern
ment and the citizens to join in the
enterprise and make a good public
hall of the lower story.
It seems that Senator Keel of Jack
son and Senator Toney of lefferson
are preparing to make a fight to pre
vent the senate passing the Brown bill
prohibiting the manufacture or sale of
liquor in Independence county. Per
haps they are thinking of moving to
this county.
A New York court has fined the
Standard Oil Company $20,Odd. But
the fine isn’t paid yet.
“Give us booze, or give us death,"
shrieks the Newport Democrat.

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 Nyal’s Hot
Springs Blood Remedy—
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.
