THE KNOCKER

The "Knocker" is an offspring of
Failure and Envy. He is an only
child, and, like most ..only" children,
generally spoiled. He never reaches
real maturity. Success in others hurts
him like tight shoe.
When he grows up he goes into the
laundry business, and wherever he
goes he carries with him lot of
soiled linen and clothes line. Hav-
ing no property of his own, and being
too poor to rent, he becomes "poach-
err making his headquarters in the
office of other people. There he sets
up his tub, stretches his line and re-
mains till you interrupt him with a
polite invitation to come again some
time when you are not so busy.
Nobody wants his company. His
employment is dangerous business
policy. His words are without fruit. No
one places any confidence in even the
good things he says, for they are at
tributed to sinister motives.
He is business vandal, continually
tearing down without replacing any
thing better; an unwhOleSome creature
with bad heart, and eyes that are
set so close together that he can peep
through keyhole with both of them
at once. He can't look you in the eye
for love np Innpav
He is the one man who can perform
that wonderful contortionist feat OF
getting beneath himself. He is as
dangerous to community as leper
let loose.
When you meet ''knocker," don't
patronize him. Don't listen to him.
Hit him in the place where his brains
ought to be, and kick him where they
are. Eureka Springs Times-Echo.

In no line of activity has there been
more progress during the last 20 years
than that of the country newspaper.
There are now hundreds of country
papers which in editorial ability, me-
chanical appearance, and all that con-
tributes to inspire respect and COM
mand attention, are fully abreast of
their metropolitan contemporaries, in
moral tone, and often in editorial
ability. In times past the country edi
tor was quite generally regarded with
a half plying contempt as good-na
tured but chicken-hearted chronicler
of inconsequential locals. All of this
has changed. Country newspapers,
as class, WELD the mightiest in1u
ence in the nation. The editors are
men of character and enterprise, do
ing more for the community for less
money than any other body of workers.

that this has been one of the most

The Newport Democrat says Newark
was once the thoughest town on earth,
but Brother Waterman has missed the
mark again, as usual. No town ever
reaches state of moral perfection,
but Newark has always been as far
ahead of Newport, morally, as a loco
motive would be of a Billy goat in a
ten-mile speed contest. We are will
ing to be judged by the records, and
make the Democrat this propositions:
If there has not been more MURDER
robbery, harlotry, gambling, drunken
ness and general lawlessness in New
port than there has been in Newark
during any one year of the history of
the two towns, as shown by the court
records, then we will buy the editor of
the Democrat the finest hat in New
port, if he will do likewise by us
should the reverse be true. Now if
the Democrat wants to prove its asser-
ton about Newark being the toughest
town on earth, it has an opportunity
to do so. But Waterman won't do it,
he knew he was lying when he wrote

next spring, planted plenty of pota-

garden?

dlversifying their crops. When will
we begin? Next spring will be good
time. Suppose you try and ''diversi-
