VOICE FROM HOME
Paper Published i'm Gov. Davis
Home Town Speaks Very Dis
paragingiy Of Him.

The Rassellyiile Record which is
published in Governor Davis
home town, has the following to
say Of the governor in It's last
week 5 issue.
When GOV. Davis addressed
the people short time ago nj TINS
place he told a pitiful story about
poor little Easter Warren who had
lost 3 hand and q foot by rail
road accident. He almost shed
tears as he mimicked the little
child's cries of pain. A judgment
for $40, 600 was reversed by the
supreme court. Coy. Davis told
US that delay after delay was had
50 that this child never received a
penny from the railroad company.
He continues to tell this, when the
facts are that the railroad company
paid $4,000. THIS was exposed at
the convention Of Wood Clubs,
where the attorney who represent
ed the railroad company and the
attorney who represented the little
child were both present Indeed
this campaign is battle between
falsehood and truth. The COVER
nor's fame first began by telling a
faIsehood about the antitrust de
cision. His success in gaining
prominence by that deception
made him so bold that he has now
undertaken to deceive the people
into believing that all the other
state officers except himself are
bad men, SO that he is not on speak
ing terms with them. His great
est deception, most injurious to
the democratic party, is that we
have two kinds of democrats, a
trust democrat and an antitrust
democrat. How long will he sue
eeed to advance his own political
interests by falsehoodl His last
and greatest deception is practiced
on himself. He has deceived Jeff
Davis int. the belief that the peo-
pie Of Arkansas will continue to
tolerate hypocrite. .
The Journal does not want it I'M
derstood that we are fighting Gov.
Davis any more than we are
Judge Wood, and we would not
knowingly misrepresent either of
them, for Heaven knows their of
fetal records are bad enough with
out any misrepresentation, but
we cannot refrain from publishing
the above merely to show how the
governor stands Ms home.

ROAD TOLONG LIFE
Book on How to Live Hundred

people will be authoritatiyely told
how to live hundred years. Such
publications as this one purports
to be, proceed on the theory that
Z e world is full of people who
have keen desire to live hun
dred years, and it will set forth,
with the usual particularly, the
diet and daily regimen Of those
who have succeeded in living to
celebrate their centennial.
There have been such books be-
tore, and they have achieved a
popularity out of all proportion to
the value of the information they
contained. In age, as well as youth,
what is one man : meat is another
mans poison. Some of those who
live to very great age boast that
they have been habitual users of
tobacco in one form or another,
and some have credited their lon
geyity to the fact that they never
missed taking their dram three
times a day. On the other hand,
some have attributed their long
life and good health to the fact
that they never used tobacco or
tasted a toddy. By taking little
pains, you can pile up evidence on
both sides Of the great question of
total abstinence, and you will be
no farther advanced toward real
knowledge of what is necessary to
a long life than you were before.
There are certain sound princi-
pies that will fit every nature, but
these are 50 broad in their charac-
ter and so general in their appliea-
ton that temperament and individ-
ual idiosoncrasy play no part in
the result. 1t is not necessary for
a young man to be very wise to
discover that morality is as good
for the body as it is fer the soul;
nor need he be old to understand
that what is sinful is also unhealth-
full, and where the rule fails to
hold good, as in the case of one
who is born to chronic affection, it
will be found that the victim is
suffering from the sinful excesses
of some of his ancestors, or from
some abscure violation of the laws
of health.
1t would perhaps be a happy
thing if the children Of men could
all reach the age Of five score, with
all their faculties unimpaired, and
with their energy and enthusiasm
as potent as ever; but as this seems
to be impossible, the wisest atti-
tude is to regard the whole matter
from the standpoint of the Christ
ian philosopher, who feels that he
is in the hands of merciful Prov
idence. Should he have long and
happy life, his gratitude will be
poured out accordingly, and should
he die, he will know that the event
will come in the nick Of time.
There are some who have a trem-
endous appetite for living on at
whatever cost to their friends and
familiars. They seem never to be
satlated with the commonplaces of
this world, and they cling to the
boughs of life as closely as shriv-
eled peach. They lose interest in
what goes on about them, and have
no thought but to exist. They
wear away the patience of love it.

embroil Russia in with this Empire. During
