CANADA holds that If there is to be
an annexing on this continent she
should be the annexer, not the an
nexed. The Dominion now exceeds
the United States in area by $50, 900
square miles. She comprises one
third Of the area Of the British EN-.
pire, is as large as thirty United
Kingdoms, eighteen Germanys and
thirty-three 1talys. Her seacoast
equals half the earth's circumference,
and her territory stretches $500
miles one way and ! 400 other. But
Canada's total population doesn't
equal the population Of New York
and London combined, and it is
people, not acres, that constitute a
Country's greatness.

Mr.. Rowland will represent the
district composed of Boone, Marion,
and Newton counties. He has rep
resented Boone county in the two
last legislatures with honor and
credit, both to himself and his peo-
pie. In the two sessions of 225 days
he never lost day, his name is re-
corded on more votes than any mem
Der of that body, and he was invari-
ably right. OF the many bills and
measures passed upon by that body,
he is entitled to special credit for saw
ing the repeal of the railroad com.
mission, and helping defeat the bill
calling for an additional appropri-
alton of $500, 900 for the new state
capitol The people of Boone conn-
ty, who know Mr.. Rowland best
are his most earnest supporters, and
the democrats of the other counties
may rest assured that in electing
him, they will secure representa-
tive of ability, and man whose
character is altogether above sus-
pieion.

The Advantage OF Saloons TO the "GOOd
People OF The Towns.

(Sam Jones' Christian Christianity
The saloon is a most benevolent
institution to the upper crust OF
town and city society. In the first
place it furnishes employment to
many men who are as anxious for
the essentials of life as am of us, and
since society provides this means for
I obtaining wealth the saloon man
and his employees should he respect
ed upon the same grounds as that of
the ordinary merchant.
The real advantage of the saloon
to county site towns is apparent to
all who will take time to consider.
The merchants and well establish
ed business men in general are too
much enlightened to become drunk
ards. and the small business man
who is not so much established in
moral character, etc, will often be
come druukard, so broke, and
thereby get out of the way OF the
successful business man
OfcouIse the saloon has it's disad-
vantages to the well.to.do people
of the towns and cities, but such is
the case in every business Some
few of the boys of the well-to-do
people will become drunkards, thiev-
es, cut-throats, and robbers; but
their parents will be able to hire
the courts to turn them loose, and
not many will ever be hung or sent
to the penitentiary.
The advantages of the saloon so
far outstrip the disadvantages that
all towns and cities are justified in
maintaining the saloon from a
financial standpoint, - and money is
our God. so let us bravely speak the
rude truth.
When we have saloons at the big
towns the country boys and older
fools from the interior of the coun-
try will come in, get a few drinks,
feel rich, and spend all the money
they have before leaving town, pay
ing fancy prices for everything they
buy. Some will get crazy drunk,
fight, and occasionally kill a man,
all of which contributes to the fnan-
cial success Of the well-to.do people
of the towns.
The court officials all live in town,
and outlawry brings trials, and
The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1906-09-01

murder eases are especially grand
for bringing the country people into
town; It saves the necessity and ex
pense oil sales DAYS; il tends IL keep
the country people poor and ignors
ent, thai the town people may the
better rule and dominate the pali les
of the country.
The saloon has a very beneficial
aud wholesome effect upon he labor
ing people of towns aud cities. and
nothing so much enhances the adj
vantage of the employing class
Laboring people are much inclined
to drink, which of course tends to
keep them poor and out of money,
thereby enabling the wel-to-do peo-
pie to get work at minimum figures;
and best of all many working men
will die very poor leaving wives and
daughters who must become cooks
and washeHiwomen for the we'll to-
do people or starve
The saloon is one of the many
splendid schemes for enhancing the
fortunes of those who occupy the
upper seats in society, the saloon is
of vital Importance to the church
as it aids the well-to-do people in he
accomplishment of business success
and therefore assures the payment
of the preachers salary. So let the
saloon be given its old time honor
aud respectability.

fTHE secretary of the treasury is
\now in the market purchasing silver
Nor coins of the United States for the
,6rst time since the repeal of the pur-
chase provision Of the Sherman law
in 1898, nearly thirteen years ago.
This of course does not mean that he
haas resumed or is going to resume
the coinage of silver dollars. He has
no authority to do that and is glad
he is not required to do it. 1t means
only that silver is needed for add
tional fractional silver coin.

Attention Democrats.


70 thel ocrats of Arkansas,
The State election will take place
on Monday, September 3 and the
eommitte desires to call attention
10 the fact thas the Republicans in
the State of Arkansas are exceeding
ly active in this campaign, and are
using every effort to get out the full
Republican vote. They are espec-
Tally active, in view of the fact that
a President will be elected two years
from now, aud that whatever in.
crease may be made in the Republi-
can vote in this and other southern
states will lend encouragement to
the Republicans of the north and
throughout the doubtful states. 1t
is equally important to the Demo
Gratis that our party poll strong
vote for the democrat nominees from
Governor to constable. There is no
doubt or question about the result
of the election. but it is we'll for
the Democrats to always be vigilant
and not only to hold the strength of
the party up to its past record, but
at each successive election to try to
increase the Democratic majority.
A big Democratic majority at the
September election will be worth
thousands of votes to the |Democra-
tic party in the election OF a pres
ident two years from now, by giy.
ing encouragement, in consequence,
to the Democrats in close states in
the north and west where the lierc-
est political battles are waged. In
view of these facts, we would urge
each individual Democrat to lay
aside all else on the day of the cleo
ton and go to the polls, and also
not be content with simply voting
the democratic ticket, but to take
enough interest in party affairs to
urge neighbors and friends to go to
the election. The Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor is a man OF
strength and integrity, and stands
on platform which. we lelieve will
eommed itself to every Democrat in
the State, and we appeal to all per.
sons who believe in Democratic prin.
ciples and in the supremacy of the
Democratic party in this State, to
manifest that patriotism and that
sense of appreciation of the past
benefits that have been derived from
the Democratic government in this
State, to take an active interest in
the election on September 3rd, and
to lend every possible assistance to
swelling the Democratic majority
up to the highest possible point.
We confidently believe that a Dem
oeratic victory, with a majority of
at least sixty thousand, will follow
the efforts of the nominee for Cover
nor and those who are assisting him
in the campaign; and nothing but
inactivity upon the part of in'divi.
dual Democrats can disappoint them
If the Democrats turn out in full
force on the 3rd of September, the
Democratic majority can easily
reach seventy-hve thousand Let
us hope that by all means Demo-
Gratis will not be unmindful of their
duty on the day of the election.
