FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 190H
There is a rumor that President
Koosevclt "'ill turn down the ap
plication of J. E. Bush for re-ap
pointment as receiver of the Little
llock land ollice, and appoint a
Democrat. Bush is a negro, and
it does seem that the President
might at least find some white man
whom he could appoint to the po
sition. __________
The Journal begins in this issue
the publication of an address by
President J. II. Reynolds deliver
ed at the last meeting of the State
Teachers' Association, held at Lit-:
tie Rock a short time ago, his
.subject being “The Relation of
Kducation to Production.” It isj
» line talk on the advantages of
education, and The Journal hopes
that its many readers will preserve
the papers until the address is
finished and read it carefully from
beginning to end.
Arkansas has at last succeeded
in convicting a legislative boodler,
jtnd if (Jovernor Davis does not par
don him he will not only have to
l*a.y the tine and costs, which all
together amounts to about $1,000,
l>ut is disfranchised for life, t rue,
the tine is very small, but the fact
that he becomes disfranchised is
«f itself severe punishment, and if
the law is allowed to take its
course, Cluipline's fate will doubt
less have a good effect upon the
conduct of future legislators.
Senator Clarke has stated that
In; will return from W ashington
about the first of March, and assist
Ciovernor Davis in trying to de
feat ‘'Dob'’ Rogers. Clarke, it will
la*, remembered, was attorney for
the railroads in that infamous tax
compromise case, and was paid
thirty thousand dollars of the peo
ples’ money for helping the rail
roads to escape the payment of
$a00,00o of the taxes they were
justly due the state, nnd * he
doesn’t like the way “Bob” Rog
ers is airing the matter. But if
Senator Clark does not want to
get frost-bitten The .Journal would
I advise him to keep off the stump
and not meddle in Arkansas poli
tics any more.
THAT CANNING FACTORY.
The Journal lias frequently I
spoken of the advantages to be
derived from the establishment of
a small canning factory at New
ark, and lias hoped that some of
the public-spirited citizens of the
community would take hold of the
matter, organize a stock company
and put in a small cannery. We
believe that nearly all the farmer
in the community would take
stock in such an enterprise, and
we believe it could be operated
profitably to both, the stock-hold
ers and the community at large.
The South and the Southwest
sends millions of dollars every
year to the North which a little
enterprise on the part of the peo
ple could easily be kept at home.
In almost every community vast
quantities of fruit and vegetables
are wasted every year, and because
of this waste carloads of canned
goods of the same character are
shipped into these same communi
ties from the more thrifty inhabi
tants of the North.
There is no reason for this un
natural condition, except a certain
lack of enterprise on the part of
the people of the South, and an
unwillingness to resort to com
munal union for the strength to
meet competition. Such condi
tions are a serious drawback to
the prosperity of any community
and The Journal would like to see
the people of this community wake
up to a realization of this fact and
| shake otf their indifference.
