FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1906
Some people seem to think that
government is best which shakes
down the most plums.
Illinois leads all states in the
number of rural mail routes, hav
ing 2,711* in operation on August
1st. _______________.
The returns from Monday's
election seem to indicate that old
Big Bottom does not indorse boss
rule. _
Mexico has been slated for the
next big earthquake by certain
scientists. There is no subject
too abstruse or obscure to escape
the man who makes predictions.
In 11*00 the amount of capital in
vested in manufacturing industries
in Arkansas was £21,000.000; in
1006, £10;000,u00, which i.- in
crease of more than s2 per cent in
live years.
We notice some of the daily pa
pers say that Mr. Rockefeller
wants to get in touch with the com
mon people. If that is the case it
might be a good idea for the com
mon people to sew up their pock
ets. ________________
The Journal is glad to note the
handsome majority given Amend
ment No. 8 in this township. Sev
eral influential men worked hard
against the amendment, both lee
fore and on the day of the election,
but it carried by 121* to '.*2.
The manner in which the Demo
crats of Independence county ex
pressed themselves at the polls
last Monday will probably teach
the would-be bosses that it is un
safe to attempt to force the party
to swallow something it does not
want. ___________
It is worthy of note that many
of the Eastern newspapers and pol
iticians are more indignantly
alarmed at Mr. Bryan's insistence
upon an income tax than they are
over his advocacy of the govern
meat ownership of railroads. The
.•ournal believes an income tax u
more feasible than governrnenl
ownership of railroads. An in
come tax is the only thing tha
will ever compel predatory wealtl
to bear its equitable share of pub
lie expense, and it is net at all im
probable that an income tax lav
will be enacted if the Democrat:
should gain control of the govern
ment at the next presidential elec
tion.
A Louisiana cotton farmer who
j has been experimenting with the
j boll Ikweevil, claims that whisky
sprinkled on cotton will destroy
jthem, and he is now working on a
spraying device to sprinkle the
plants with. lint can he invent a
[spraying machine with an attach
I ment that will knock idT the tin
cans and gourds as fast as they
can be placed under the spout*
' The Commoner says tv mm who
I will play crooked politics would
I pla.v crooked business if ■ e were
not afraid of the sheriff And
there is a good deal of trut in it,
too. Hut there are men i: Inde

friends in office as deliberately as
a negro would steal a \vat> rmelon.
COTTON IS KING
According to a statement just is
sued by the Department of Com
merce and Labor at Washington,
i cotton is king in the export rec
ord of the United States for the
fiscal year just ended.
| The total value of cotton ex
ported for the first. time crossed the
1*400.000,000 line and exceeded by
j far the value of any other article
of merchandise sent out of the
country. The export of bread
stuffs of all kinds aggregated but
$136,000,000 those of provisions 1 >ut
$21 1,000,0*>0, and those of iron and
! steel manufactures but $161,000,
1000.
i The value of cotton exported
has, during the last five years, in
creased very rapidly. It was not
i until 1901 that it crossed the $300,
1000,000 line, and in a short five
years period it has grown t< more
than $-100,000,000, or an increase
of 33 per cent.
This growth is due partly to an
increase in the quantity exported,
but in part also to the, advance in
price, since the quantity exported
in 1906 was about 70D,00u,000
| pounds less than in 190-5, while the
j value was $21,000,0'u more than
in 1905. _
