In an article in the April number of
World's Work, John L). Rockefeller
declares that the panic of 1007 was the
worst he ever experienced, and heaps
praise upon J. P. Morgan for his
efforts to prevent continued depression
of business.
“Since KT7,” writes Mr. Rockefel
ler, “I can remember all the great
panics, but I believe the panic of 1907
was the most trying. No one escaped
from it, great or small. Important
institutions had to be supported and
carried through the time of distrust
and unreasoning fear.
“The question has been asked if I
think we shall revive quickly from the
panic of 1907. I hesitate to speak on
the subject, since 1 am not a prophet
nor a son of a prophet, but as to the
ultimate outcome there is, of course,
no doubt. This temporary setback
will lead to safer institutions and
more conservative management upon
the part of every one. and this is it
quality we need.”
Discussing morality in business.
Mr. Rockefeller says in part:
“The underlying, essential element
of success to business affairs is to
follow the established laws of high
class dealing. Keep to broad and
sure lines and study them to he certain
that they are correct ones.
“Watch the natural operations of
trade and keep within them. Don’t
,lto*m?S8fev Tour “energy
on a thing which ends in a petty
triumph unless you are satisfied with
a life of petty successes.
“The man who starts out simply
with the idea of getting' rich won’t
succeed; you must have a larger am
bition. The great industrial leaders
have told again and again the plain
and obvious fact that there can be no
permanent success without fair deal
ing that leads to widespread confi
dence in the man himself: and that is
the real capital we all prize and work
for.”
The whole truth is yet unknown to
mortals. This is an inducement for
honest and heroic endeavor on the
part of students to delve after the pre
cious metal, truth, and bring it up for
use, and for the development of man
and the world. He who thinks he has
all the truth is fossilized, and looks
through the “hind-sights” of life.

NEWARK : : ARKANSAS
If a man should judge the Arkansas
legislature by the number of local
laws passed, he would conclude that
the average member of that august
body looked upon the state as being
no larger than the county which he
represents. There has probably been no
less than two hundred local bills in
troduced during the present session,
the majority of which apply to one or
two counties and the session is but
little more than half over. A general
law shojiId l>e passed that would enable
the people, by special elections, and
by actions in their county courts, to
settle matters like the creation of im-^
provement districts, drainage and
fencing districts, school matters, hog
laws, duck laws, and so on, and thus
avoid this unseemly waste of time
and money by the legislature. The
people are becoming thoroughly dis
gusted with the manner in which the
legislature kills time and squanders
money. Its time to call a halt and
begin to do business in a business
manner. ___________
It is by no means the worst thing in
the world to be called a crank. Usual
ly, where one finds a man with suf
ficient individuality to oppose impuri
ty and shams, too brave to he a coiv
ardly conformist, and too honest to
get rich by some sort of legalized
stealinging, he is called a crank.
Wherever a man is found who thinks
life holds better things for him than to
merely drift along in quiet accord with
the popular fallacies of the day, he is
a crank. Discoverers, inventors and
philanthropists are cranks. Christo
pher Columbus was a crank, and yet
America, nearly 400 years after his
death, turned itself head over heels a
r — uim tin h 1 in hnnni' Bun l
get angry if some fellow calls you a
crank. Think of what the many so
called cranks have done for the world,
and remember that it is much better to
be a crank than just a mere hole in
the atmosphere.
Keep your mind on the great and
splendid things you would like to do:
and then, as the days go gliding by,
you will find yourself unconsciously
seizing upon the opportunities that
are required for the (fulfillment of your
desire, just as the coral insect takes
from the running tide the elements
that it needs. Picture in your mind
the able, earnest, useful person you
desire to lie, and the thought you
hold is hourly transforming you into
that particular individual. Thought
is supreme, and to think is often better
than to do. Preserve the right mental
attitude—that of courage, frankness,
and good cheer.—Elbert Hubbard.

No town will prosper and grow where
there is a lack of enterprise and push
on the part of its citizens. The true
motto of each and fevery citizen of a
towr^is and should be to assist and
help your neighbor*, encourage busi
ness of all kinds—-there’s no danger
in gorging the market in this line—
unite in the matter of improvement, in
making the town attractive, and giv
ing it a home-like appearance. When
this is done people from a distance
will form a good opinion of the place
and it will be an inducement for them
to locate with us and become perma
nent and substantial citizens.
An Illinois editor retired from journ
alism and his “good-bye” is chron
icled in the following language: “The
undersigned retires from the paper
with the conviction that all is vanity.
From the hour his paper was started
to the present time he has been solic
ited to lie on every given subject, and
can’t remember having told a whole
some truth without diminishing his
subscription list or making an enemy.
Under these circumstances of trial,
and having a thorough contempt,for
himself, he retires in order to recuit
bis moral constitution.”
The Kansas legislature has passed
a banking law similar to the Oklahoma
law, guaranteeing depositors against
loss. Arkansas is sadly in need of a
wholesome banking law of some kind,
but our legislators are so busy pass
ing laws to regulate the color of coon
skins and fixing days on which a man
may hunt snipe anil kill woodchucks
in the different townships of the
various counties of the state, that
they have no time to fool with bank
ing laws, or other general laws that
would be of any benefit to the state.

are all lined up against the liquor traf
fic. These three most potent agencies are
harmoniously working to build up a
public sentiment against the traffic of
drink, and any man who can look
through the “hind-sights” of his
political gun can see how the work of
these agencies are bearing fruit in
“drying up” county after county, and
state after state, till the “fore-sight”
looks as if national sobriety is very
near.
.stand by your town. Not a dollar
is invested here but some good comes
of it. There is no family like one’s
own family; there is no wife like one’s
own wife; there should be no town like
one's own town, where we live, edu
cate our children, onw hose streets our
babies play, and where we may some
day sleep. Let the newspaper stand
by the town, and let the business men
stand by the newspaper, and let us
make our home as good and as great
as possible._
People who write things which they
would like to see printed in the news
papers, should bear in mind that what
they write as their personal opinion
should l>e fathered by them, and when
they write stuff that is not tit for them
to attach their names to it should
never be printed. People should never
ask a newispaper to do something for
them which they are afraid to do
themselves._
The counterfeit and the genuine are
found every where —in religion, in
society, in politics and in money.
We often hear of men refusing to have
anything to do with the churches, be
cause there are hypocrites, or counter
feit Christians, but we never hear of
one of the these fellows refusing to
have anything to do with money be
cause there are counterfeit dollars.
“Uncle Dave” Craig1, the veteran
newspaper man of Melbourne, died at
his home last Saturday from old age
and acute neuralgia. He had been
editor and publisher of the Izard
County Register for many years, and
had passed the Biblical three score and *
ten. Peace to his ashes.

Governor Donaghey is making a
manly light against the convict lease
system, one of the relics of barbarism

Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take Xyal’s Hot
Springs Blood Remedy—
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.
