CITIZENSHIP.

The Journal overheard a remark a few days ago to the effect that the blind tiger men are just as good as some people who go out to the anti tiger mass meetings and take prominent part in the proceedings. This may be true so far as flesh and blood is concerned, but from a moral standpoint or from the standpoint of citizenship, it is entirely wrong.
 For instance, we are living un- der a government of, for and by the people-a government in which the voice of the people is supreme at least that is the fundamental principle upon which our govern ment is founded. Matters affect ing all questions of local self government are submitted to the people for their approval or rejection, and the whole is SUD- posed to be governed by the action of the majority, which IS in fact the only real and true self-gov, ernment, and the individual living under and participating in such q government is not good citizen who does not abide Loyalty and faithfully by the action of the majority. He may be good man in other respects, good neighbor, kind and accommodating sort of fellow, but if he persists in violat- ing a law enacted by majority of the people, he is not 8 good citi- zen; and this the blind tiger men of Newark have premeditatedly and consistently done for more than two years.
 At the election held in 1904 the
The Newark journal., 1907-01-25

people of Independence county, by majority of about 300, said they did not favor the sale of liquor, and at the recent election they emphasized this fact by in- creasing the majority to 600.
 Then it naturally follows that the individual who persistent ly ignores this decision of the peo- pie, does not entertain the proper regard for the Republican form of government, under which all true Republics are governed, and is, to that extent, an anarchist.

WHO IS TO BLAME ?

Several days ago certain cltl- zen of Newark was arrainged be- fore Squire Tharp in this city on a charge of violating the liqour laws, but was immediately dis charged, the court holding that the defendant, having just few days before been tried and ac- quilted on a similar charge in the mayors court, could not be tried again, for the reason that the docket of the mayors court was a bar to further prosecution.
 This caused considerable criti- cism of the mayor and the report went out that he had exceeded his authority. It was also said that legal proceedings would be insti tuted against him because of this alleged abuse of his authority.
 This led to a further investiga- tion of the matter, and The Jour nal Is informed that there is a diff ference of opinion, even in legal circles, as to who erred in the case, some holding that the construction placed upon the mayors docket by Judge Tharp was at fault.
 The Journal, therefore, does not know who is to blame, but we do know that the accused was turned loose without trial.
 We have secured a copy of the mayors docket and publish it herewith, in order that the public may judge for itself:
 ''State of Arkansas vs. Whort Arnold.
 "On the 18th day of December, 1906, came the State of Arkansas by her attorney, Emmett Jeffery, and filed complaint that Whort Arnold was engaged in the clan destine sale of whisky. or blind tigering, on or about the Sth day of December, 1906 land on said day came the attorney for the State of Arkansas, as we'll as the defendant in person and by at torney, and agreed that said in- vestigation only cover the time from the 2Sth day of October, 1906, and up to the present time this cause came on to be heard. After continuance to the 18th day of December, and after 1t was agreed by both parties that 8 jury be summoned to try this cause; and after hearing the evidence of all the witnesses by the court and the jury, and the agreement of the counsel, the jury rendered the fol- lowing verdict: We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty. It is therefore ordered and adjudged by the court that the defendant be released from custody"
 The above is copy of the mayors docket,i and we leave the public to be its own judge as to who erred, Mayor Arnold or Judge Tharp.

RELIC OF OLD ROME.

Near the Lucrine lake, to the
north of Baiae, Italy, where the viii
las of Romans of imperial times
crowded each other to the waters
edge. and where. in consequence, to
this day the ground is full of arch
geological treasures, a very fine mo-
sale has just been discovered. In
form it is a parallelogram, measur-
ing about five and a half wards by
nearly ten yards. The piece repre-
sents a hunting scene in which
there are many wild beasts and sew
eral hunters, the f~avorite subject
for large mosaics in those days. 1t
has been bought for $500 by the
ministry of public works for the
decoration of the great monument
of Victor Emmanuel in Rome,
which is slowly taking form, and
will eventually dominate all old
Rome.
