FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1909
The newspaper man has his friends
and his enemies, and some people can
not 15nd abuse too coarse to heap up
on his head. But he uumbers as his
friends some of the greatest men of
the nation. For instance here is what
ex-President Roosevelt thinks of the
newspaper man: “Every owner, edi
tor or reporter of a conscientiously
and ably conduced newspaper or
'pertoch.cal is an asset of real value to
the whole community. It would be
difficult to overestimate the amount of
good which done by the men
responsible for scch a publication
responsible for its editorial columns,
responsible for its news columns, re
sponsible for its general policy. We
have many newspapers and periodicals,
big and little of this kind."
The legislature hit* passed a joint
resolution providing for the exemption
from taxation for a period of ten years
of all capital invested in the manufac
ture of cotton goods in tiiis state. This
is an act for which the legislature is to
be commended. Arkansas needs more
manufacturing enterprises, and we
should hold out some inducements for
capital along this line. We have an
abundance of raw materials of various
kinds. Why ship them to the North
to be manufactured, and then have
them shipped back? Why not keep
the profits, the costs of manufacturing,
and the double transportation charges
here at home?

A home without a newspaper is no
home at all; it is a kind of rendezvous
for bedbug’s aud lie as. where the in
habitants live in blissful ignorance of
what the world is doing: a place where
the children grow up in ignorance,
rags and dirt, while the wife finds con
solation in darning socks and sucking
a pipe loaded with tobacco, and the
man lives l>ecause he can’t die and is
too lazy to kill himself.
The monthly statement of the public
debt of the United States, issued a few
days ago, shows that at close of busi
ness March .‘51, T’ncle Sam owed ovei
a billion dollars. His receipts for tin
month of March were $03,377,012, am
his expenses $.">1),444,52a. In othei
words he went in the hole over three
million dollars in March. At thh
rate, how long will it take for the ok
man to land in the poor house?

Millions of dollars and millions of
acres of land have been given to rail
roads by the state and national gov
ernments to assist them in building new
lines of road in various parts of the
I country. The Journal has no fight to
make on this—the country needs the
railroads—they are powerful agencies
for the development and progress of
the country—but its time now to change
the procedure, and do some road
building for the people. Let the federal
and state governments join the “good
roads” movement and spend some of
the money on the public roads they
have been spending on the rivers and
railroads. ___________
There are are three kinds of men in
the world—the wills, the won’ts and
the ean’ts. The first hardly ever fail
in any undertaking, large or small.
The “won’ts” don't believe in new
fangled experiments and nonsense and
usually oppose everything. The
“can’ts” usually make a success only
at loafing, and are of about the same
importance as a hole in the atmos
phere.
Our good friend It. H. Waddell of
the Hutesville Guard will likely make
the race for county clerk at the next
election. Hob is a bully good fellow
and has many friends throughout the
county who would rally to his support.
The Journal is glad to note that the
house of representatives has passed
the state banking bill. It is a good bill
fashioned somewhat after the Nebraska
and Oklahoma laws, and we hope to
see it become a law.
When you feel like cussing the mer
chants for charging so much for bacon,
go out behind the barn and kick your
self a few good hard licks for not
President Taft's salary is, $(>,250 a
month. By keeping a cow or two and
some pigs and chickens he ought to be
able to get along very well on that.

BERRIES AND PROSPERITY
(Continued from page 1)
Terry season ready to buy the fruit as
ioon as it is loaded in the cars, and
be grower will be paid for his berries
he same day they are picked.
Every farmer in the prospective fruit (
iistrict around Newark should join
be association and work to its in- (
erest and all work together for the i
lpbuilding of your home town and
surrounding country, and you can
make this the garden spot of Inde
pendence county.
Some of the above statements in re
gard to what is possible for the fruit
growing industry to do at this place,
may seem a little on the extreme to
some who have not had experience
along this line of business, but they
are facts based on past experience and
observation, and if the members of
this association will work together,
which I believe they will do, and push
this business as it should be done,
the facts will be proven beyond your
expectations.
Trusting that the good people of this
community will not think I have taken
too much liberty in making these few
remarks, and wishing the association
every possible success in its new enter
prises. I am very respectfully,
R. L. Goad.

SMIDT CAUGHT ON
During the recent panic a hank
cashier was trying to' explain to Mr.
Smidt, a German depositor, why he
couldn’t get his money o%t of the
bank.
“You see, Mr. Smidt,” said the bank
cashier, “there is plenty of money in
the bank, but all the banks have
agreed in order to prevent a panic to
pay out only a part of the actual cur
rency demanded by depositors. Your
money is here alright, and you can
have it as soon as it is safe to let you
have it. In the meantime we will give
you instead of actual cash, clearing
house certificates, which will serve the
same purpose. This is the third time
I have explained this matter to you.
I have gone into it thoroughly because
I want you to explain the conditions
to the rest of your fellow-countrymen
who are our depositors. Do you think
you understand now?”
“Yees, yees,” replied Smidt, “I
oxplain it shust likedis, Mr. Caschier
‘Matilda und I haf a little baby. The
little baby she cry for milk in de mid
dle ob de night; ve get up und ve say

Is a noted place for tbe
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.
