There’s absolutely no doubt
about it. Confidence has been re

The American people perhaps
iow realize what an awful mistake
hey made in electing; Roosevelt,
[f Parker had been elected there
you Id have been some excuse for
his great slump in the price of
•otton. but as Roosevelt is elected
here is absolutely no one to blame
‘or it, and we suppose it will have
,o be palmed off on Providence.

the grand prize.

Old Santa Claus will soon make;
his annual tour of the globe, and i
let us hope that he may make glad
the hearts of both old and young. ;
The reason why Arkansas did |
not win any more medals on her j
fruit display at the World's Fair
was because there were no more;
medals to win.

A bill has been introduced in ;
congress which prov ides that all ;
campaign contributions of more
than $5Q to any political patty
shall be published. Hut it is safe
to say that the republicans will
never permit such a bill to become
a law.
nan on earth to speak a good
word for the paper if it should
lappen to do something that coin
cide* with hi* views of right.
The Journal is inclined to be
lieve that the government has ov
>r-estimated the cotton crop. The
estimate is based largely on the
pinners' reports, and it should be
remembered that practically the
inti re crop is already ginned.
Never before within the memory
:>f the oldest cotton raisers has the
crop been so near all gathered and
ginned as at the present time, and
this condition prevails almost uni
versally throughout the cotton
growing states. Nearly every gin
in the country will be closed down
by Christmas. Of course, it will
take the market some time to re
REDUCE

■
i cover from tho depressing effect
of the government report, but we
believe that within a few weeks
the spot receipts will show such a
marked decline that the price will
be bound to advance.
The Arkansas Democrat had
better begin to cut down expenses,
! and pray for Old Santa Claus to
put a roll of the “long green" in
its Christmas stocking. Its going
to make the Democrat knuckle
down to it and dig like the mis
chief to raise that £15,000 for
Sheriff Kaneaster, and it might he
a good idea to for it to cut out ifs
Christmas celebration entirely and
begin laying up all its spare
change, so as to have the amount
ready. It might have some trou
ble in borrowing that much.
The Journal is pleased to note
I that the officials of the Methodist
church at this place have purchas
ed property fora parsonage, and
that they will endeavor to have
( this raised to a station next year.
I he town is progressing rapidly
I in a business way. and the people
should, and we believe they will,
| encourage this spirit of progress
ive ness by those interested in the
town's advancement religiously
and morally. In our mad .scram
ble lor dollars and dimes we should
not lose sight of the great and uni
versal need of the moral influences
of the church.

1 lie supreme court has declared
the l)e h’ossjt {fame law unconsti
tutional, on the ground that no
‘ man can he prevented by law from
! hunting or fishing upon his own
; property. The law was intended
to prohibit non-residents from
hunting or fishing in Arkansas, and
was very stringent. Under this
law no person except a citizen of
tin1 state was allowed to hunt or
fish in Arkansas, and the fact that
it made no provisions for non-res
ident land owners hunting or fish
mg upon their own property was
what knocked it out. The law was
I passed at tin* last session of the
: legislature, and The Journal call
ed attention to the fact at the time
of it- passage that it was a ridi
culous law. I he average legisla
tor seems inclined to go too far
when drafting laws, and seems to
forget the fact that the people
have some personal rights that
cannot be infringed upon.
