We notice that Judge Lippy, who
seems to think he is running for state
senator over in Jackson county, oc
casionally drons a |>enny in the slot
and his hand organ, the Newport In
dependent, proceeds to grind out a
“tune,” in which The Journal is
made the special object of their abuse
and ridicule.
There are four papers published in
Jackson county, but the Independent
is the only one that will stoop low
enough to publish the judge’s rot, or
that Inis so far forsaken the principles
of decency as to espouse his cause.
No real newspaper, or one that cares
any thing for the best interests of its
community and the welfare of the peo
ple. will ever allow itself to become
the hand organ of any man. The real
newspaper fights for principles,
and lets individuals take care
of thbiu selves. The real newspaper
man knows neither friend nor foe in
the advocacy of measures and princi
ples of right. He hews to the line, let
the chips fall where they may: gives
facts and figures, is ever ready to up
hold the principles of right, keeps
close to the path of duty and pei-sues
the even tenor of his way. regardless
of the praise of friends or the criticism
of enemies.
But as the Independent and rts sfcur
vy little Republican editor have never
been able to attain the above level, it
is not surprising- to see them trailing
at the heels of this jsrch enemy of the
Democratic party flf Jackson county.
I he Indepopiffent and its mangy little
^ -/ReplT^Mtcan editor were never known
/ to espouse a good cause during the
whole of their puny existence. If Van
Duce should think one pure thought,
or give expression to one noble idea,
it would astonish the good people of
Jackson county its much as it would
to, see White river turn its course and
run up-stream. Corruption, rotten
ness and moral decay may run ram
pant, crime go unpunished, the best
^ interests of the people and every
principle of right may be ruthlessly
trampled under foot, and yet the Inde
pendent never raises its voice in pro
test. But let some old broken-down
Republican politican. whose whole
life has been spent in a merciless war
fare upon the Democratic party, enter
the race for ollice and the Independent
[tears up the earth in his behalf, sheds
great gobs of eloquence and tells
slanderous falsehoods in its frenzied
effort to elect him to office.
Like Judge Lippy, Mistah Putrid
Hallucination Van Duee was himself
raised somewhere up North in a com
munity of pukes who consider the negro
their equal. And being a negro-lov
ing Republican himself, he very nat
turally falls in at the heels of Judge !
Lippy, the only man in Jackson coun
ty who ever had the gall and the lack
of decency to try to put a negro in
authority over white people in a white
man's country.
The Journal has nothing whatever
against Judge Lippman personally.
Rut his political record is public pro
perty and a fit subject for public dis
cussion. And when a man spends the
1 wtter part of his life in a merciless
fight upon the Democratic party, and
then, when he sees he following a for
lorn hope, flops over and wants the
same party which he has fought so
bitterly, to elect him to office, how can
he expect to escape criticism?
The Journal has told nothing on
Judge Lippman hut the plain, simple
unvarnished truth. He knows this is
a fact, and every one of the older
citizens of Jackson county know it is
a fact.
out tne judge dodges, paws the ail*
and brays, and tries to befuddle the
Minds of the people by charging his
opponent, John Keel, with having been
the author of the editorial in this
paper which brought his record to
light. Blit a baser falsehood was
never uttered. John Keel never wrote
a line for this paper In his life. We
challenge Judge Lippraan to prove to
the contrary, and will forfeit to any
church, fraternal or benevolent or
ganization in Jackson county one
hundred dollars in cash if Judge Lippy
or his little hand organ, the Indepen
dent, will prove by competent witnesses
that John Keel wrote the article or had
anything whatever to do with writing
it.
Now let Judge Lippy and his friend
Vafi Duee prove their charges, or
stand branded as common liars.
Don’t get worked up over politics
and get mad at your neighbor just be
cause he does not see things as you do.
The country is not going to the bow
wows, and the world will move on in the
same old manner after the election is
over, no matter who is elected. The
time will never come when all people
I will see things just alike, or agree on
every thing, and the man who falls out
with his fellow man, simply because
they can’t agree on politics is a mighty
1 sorry specimen of a man.
The Arkansas State News, the new
weekly paper recently established at
Little Hock, seems to lie clean in every
respect, and bids fair to become a
strong and excellent paper. We wish
it success.
Farmers are beginng the work of
making another crop in a very hopeful
spirit, and a big crop of cor n, cotton
and fruit, will make the people of Ar
kansas forget that there was ever a
panic.

IDIANAPOLIS
L T. Cooper Makes Many Converts During ‘
Stay in That City.
/itThe new theory (backed up by his
preparation) advanced by L. T.
Cooper with regard to the cause of
most ill health of the present genera
tion is being sown oroadcast by this
young man.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate in
civilized races and claims that good
health is impossible unless the stom
ach is re-vitalized. This he claims to
do with his preparation.
An article from the Indianapolis
Star during Cooper’s stay in that city
has this to say of Cooper and his prep
aration: “Residents of this city are
being astounded by L. T. Cooper and
his new prepaiation.
“Reports that preceded Mr. Cooper’s
visit here told of his success in other
localities, but the immense success of
his medicine and the general belief
in hi3 theory was wholly unprece
dented.
“So great is the rush of the public
to this young man that people stand
in line waiting their turn for hours in
an effort to see him. The most inter
esting feature of this is statements
made by reliable citizens as to the
actual accomplishments of Cooper’s
medicine. Among recent statements of
this character the following is a fair
example:
Mr. B. P. Campbell, of 3224 Wests*
Washington Street, had this to say of
his experience with Cooper: ‘I have
been a victim of stomach trouble for
the past five years—sick and suffering
pain all the time. Everything I ate
distressed me. I have been under the
treatment of many physicians, and
have taken all kinds of medicine, none
of which afforded me relief. I was
greatly discouraged, and was about
ready to give up, when Mr. Cooper
came to this city to introduce his
preparations.
‘“I was skeptical, of course, after
spending so much money and taking
such a large quantity of medicine, but,
like the drowning man, I was ready
| to grab at a straw, so I secured some
| of Mr. Cooper’s New Discovery medi
! cine and began taking it It seemed
to help right from the first dose. I
have been taking it for several weeks,
and can now eat heartily and enjoy
my meals for the first time In five
i years—eat anything, without pain or
distress of any kind. I feel like a new:,
being—life is worth living now.’ ”
Let us explain Mr. Cooper’s remark
able medicine to you if your general
health is not all that it should be.
