OUTRAGED JUSTICE
Just for a moment put yourself
in the shoes of the decrepit old
gentleman whose daughter, striv
ing heroically to educate herself
and secure an honorable position
in the world in order that she
might maintain herself and her
aged parent; and she her struck
down by some hellish ghoul in hu
man form so devoid of all the ele
ments of a man that his black, de
graded, brutish heart makes him
an unfit subject to associate with
even the very demons of hell; and
see him, in your mind’s eye, strike
down your own fair, defenseless
daughter, just budding into wom
anhood, and see him, gloating in
brutish glee over her defenseless
form, rob her of wonanhood’s
most priceless jewel, as was the
case in Little Rock recently.
Then see twelve men stand up
in the presence of Almighty (Jod,
and, with hands pointing Heaven
ward, solemnly swear that they
will mete out justice to the guilty
wretch, who is a disgrace to the
mother that bore him and a libel
upon mankind — then see these
twelve pusillanimous cusses with
solemn mockery turn him loose,
and thus tacitly license him to go
out and repeat the performance
upon some other man’s daughter,
while you stand by powerless to
protect the good name of your own
child or restore her stolen virtue.
And yet, strange and shocking
as it may seem, this very thing
actually occurred in the capital
city, the social, intellectual and
religious center of the great state
of Arkansas, and not before the
diwn of civilization, as might be
presumed, but in the year of
grace 1909.
Such farce trials as the one re
cently enacted at Little Rock, do
the State an irreparable injury,
both at home and abroad, and are
enough to cause Justice to hide
her face in shame, and the people
to lone respect for the courts nrd
the law.
The majesty of the law. Bah!
When womanhood can not be
protected in the very capital of
our state, with its boasted intelli
gence, its vaunted culture, its
vain wisdom and its swagger
righteousness, is it not enought to
bring a blush of shame to the face
of every right-thinking, honest!
man in the state?
The conscience of a people who
will permit such an outrage upon
.Justice, needs chastising.
From the present outlook, busi
ness will be better in Newark this
fall than it has been in several
years. We hope the home merch
ants will get ready to boom busi
ness and offer the people of the
surrounding country liberal in
ducements to make Newark their
trading point. Our merchants can
sell goods as cheap as anybody,
and can pay as good prices for cot
ton, corn and other farm products,
as the merchants of any other
town can pay. If the businessmen
of the town would wake up to the
! importance of a thorough and sys
tematic advertising campaign, and
go to work with that end in view,
they could do fifty per cent more
business this fall than was ever
done before in the history of the
town. _______
The Batesville Guard seems to
think Governor Donaghey controls
the opinions of the supreme court.
If Donaghey is such a great man
that he can control the courts, the
legislatures and so on, he must,
indeed, be a very great and power
ful man. If he wields such wonder
ful power as the Guard says he
does, how, in the name of.'common
•sense, does the Guard expect to
defeat him for re-election with an ,
obscure little ex-sheritf who was
never heard of outside of his own
county? _
Here’s a fair sampleof the aver
age growler, clipped from an
Oklahoma exchange1 “The other
day at Eufaula a man sat upon a
cracker box, chewed tobacco, spit
fourteen feet at a whack, snarled
at the alleged slowness of his
neighbors and grumbled because
taxes were so high. A fellowman
became interested in the growler
and went to the court house and
found that the man’s total taxes
are 38 cents and a poll tax.”
There has been quite a lot of un
favorable comment upon the large
attendance of women during the ;
recent trial of the Dill case in the
circuit court at Little Rock. It is
nothing more ncr less than a large j

streak of human depravity that im
!>ells people to attend these sensa
tional trials, and to be honest about
die matter, The .Journal cannot see
ivhere or how the women are any
nore subject to censure along this
ine than the men. Wrong is
wrong, no matter who commits it,
ind if it is wrong for a woman to
io a thing, it certainly cannot be
right for a man to do the same thing.
Women are censured for doing
diings that men do and go uncen
mred for almost every day. And
us a usual thing, the man who is
piickest to censure women for lit
le improprieties is the one who
want unbridled liberty to do as he
pleases. _
The aqf|uittal of Earl Dill in the
Pulaski Circuit Court, charged
with having assaulted Miss Ray
Burkhalter in Little Rock some
:ime ago, has created quite a sen*
nation throughout the state, and
the jury who tried the case has
been roundly censured from all
sides. It is just such miscarriages
jf justice as this that cause the
people to lose respect for the courts
md decide that law and justice is a
farce and failure.
It is reported that coal and oil
tiave been discovered in Craighead
sounty, near Jonesboro. There
ire good indications of a rich coal
mine in less than two miles of New
ark that will some day make a for
tune for some long-headed fellow
who has the money and nerve to
dig into it.

The total debt of Randolph '
county is SI. Randolph j
must have been having a high old ;
time somewhere back down the j
line.
The Arkansas Farmers Union
has decided that there will be no
more Patten wheat corners, so far
as the Union members in Arkan
sas are concerned. At the recent
meeting of the Union in Littleliock
a resolution was passed condeming
Patten and asking each farmer in
the state to raise sufficient wheat
to supply his own flour. So far
so good. Now, lets see if the
farmers will take their own advice
Jno. W. Crockett, present rail
road commissioner from this dis
trict, will not be a candidate for
re election, but has announced
that he will be a candidate for
state treasurer. W. A. Hodges of
Bald Knob, W. A. Surridge of
Walnut Ridge, and G. W. Bellamy
of Mammoth Spring,are candidates
to succeed Mr. Crockett as rail
road commissioner.
Over two thousand saloons
were put out of business in Ohio
during the past year, and the
liquor tax collections for June, of
this year were $336,426.15 less
than for June last year. Only 26
counties in the state of Ohio are
wet.
Dr. Elliot, ex-president of Har
vard, proposes to give the country
a “new” religion. But what the
country really needs is more re
ligion, instead of more religions,
Baxter county is out of debt for
the first time since 1886.
The supreme court also believes
in prohibition.
PISTOL-TOTING AND CRIHE
Pistol toting, we believe, is re
sponsible for more than half the
crimes committed in Arkansas. If
the crime of carrying a pistol shoud
be made a felony there would be
fewer men with guns in their pock
ets, hence fewer killings. And
again, if the man who is acquitted
of murder, should be sent to the
penitentiary for carrying the pistol
it would evidently put some others
to thinking—Pocahontas Star Her
ald.

SNAPS ARE SCARCE
Farming is no snap. For that
matter, no job is, if the man who
holds it makes the best of it. Snaps
are not makers for progress, but
are promoters of indolence and
stifle ambition.— Farm and Ranch.
