c. S. Newlan, of Extra, Oldest Mason

Recently an article appeared in an
Iowa paper ascribing that distinction
to gentleman in the north east part
of this state, which catching the eye
of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. G.
s. Newton causes him to proclaim his
title to that distinction until some
other part of the state is heard from at
least. he claims, and with all the
necessary proofs to back his assertion,
that he was made Mason in March
1854 and has ever since been affiliated
with some lodge and was until few
years ago, when he suddenly lost his
hearing, one of the most active and
we'll posted Masons in this part OF the
state and was always acknowledged
as SUCH

Il want flowers for two large win
dow boxes said she, "and they re
to be red and blue. That lot
Of lobelias will do nicely. How much
are these?" she added, pointing to a
row of flaming geranlums.
"Ten cents, three for a quarter,
said the florist. ''Fine geranlums,
too"
The Vassar girl gave him a glance
of pity. Then, very delicately, as
if not to wound the mans feelings
by the correction, she said, 81 will

THE NEW NORMAL's PRESIDENT.

The election of Superintendent
Doyne of the department of educa-
ton to the presidency of the new
state normal school is gratifying
to the citizenship of this city and
county, in which the institution is
to be built Mr.. Doyne is not only
we'll qualified for this important
position, but he is the logical man
for the place. For number of
years he has been actively at the
head of the states educational Sys-
tenn. In that capacity he has real
lied as perhaps no enc else the
great need of a normal school and
has worked hard to create such a
sentiment as would result in it's
establish ment. His long exper-
fence in educational work, his high
standing among the teachers of the
state and his intense interest in
the success of the normal, there
fore, render him the logical man
for its president.
Conway feels that with Mr.
Doyne at its head the normal is i'll
safe hands, and Conway will be
glad to welcome him as one of its
citizens.

license. - In addition to this
under the three mile law" the
sale of liquor may be prohibited
within three miles of any church
or school in the state, upon a petit
ton signed by a majority OF the
adult inhabitants of the territory
affected, including women.
With these laws, the people OF
the state have a better control OF
the liquor traffic than they would
under constitutional prohibition.
For after all is said and done,
unless they are backed up by pub
lie sentiment, no prohibition laws,
however drastic, can be effect
ually enforced. Kansas has for
years been a prohibition state, but
it was not until recently that pub
lie sentiment developed sufficiently
to cause any serious attempt to en-
force its laws.
But sooner or later, statewide
prohibition is coming to Ark
ansas and coming to stay. And
when it comes and is earnestly
supported by the people, we be-
lieve the state will be hundred
fold better for it.

In asking the>people of Arkan-
sas to elect him to the governor S
office, George w. Donaghey SOL
EMMY promises them that if elect
ed he will not seek another Office
during his term, but that he will
devote all his time, energy and
ability to the performance of the
duties of governor. In plain En-
glish, he does not ask to be elected
governor so that he can use that
Office as a stepping stone to some
other office, while the important
duties of the chief executive of
Arkansas are left in the hands of
some clerk or secretary whom the
people had no voice in selecting
We believe Mr.. Donaghey means
what he says, for it would not pay
man of his business ability to
remain in politics longer than his
term of office as governor would
permit. He is seeking the Office
solely for the honor that ought to
attach to it and for the reason that
he believes he can give the state a
good administration. If he should
make failure in the Office there
will be no honor to him in having
held it. His every effort, there
fore, will be bent toward giving
the state the best service that lies
in his power.
Let a good business adininistra-
ton for Arkansas be your slogan
and let George w. Donaghey be
your choice.

Donaghey has done more for ed
ucation in Arkansas than any
man who ever held the office of
governor or anyone who has even
asked for it. He was not paid a
salary by the state while he was
doing it, either, nor was he even
considering the matter of running
for office. The work that he has
done is of the material kind-the
kind that discounts promises and
amounts to far more than cheap
flipgs of easy flowing oratory.

If Mr.. Hinemon' s tax exemption
policy should be adopted, there
would be no incentive for man
to accumulate more than $3.50
worth of property. And if he did
succeed in saving up this amount,
his taxes would be so high that
the state would soon get it all.

MR.. HINEMoN'S ORIGINAL PLANK

MR.. HINEMON'S ORIGINAL PLANK.
None of the gubernatorial candi-
dates, with the exception of George
w. Donaghey, has syet announc-
ed over his own signature any def
mite platform upon which he pro-
poses to run. The only means by
which the people generally are
able to get an expression of their
views is through the published re-
ports of their various public speech
es. Through this medium we
earn ed last week that Mr.. Hine-
mon had one original plank in his
platform-one which, he said, he
had failed to announce previously
for fear that some other candidate
might adopt it. We will readily
concede that this plank is original
with Mr.. Hinemon, and we sup
pose that he will admit that praC-
tically all his other planks were
appropriated from the opening
speech of Mr.. Donaghey, delivered
about one month before. All of
the leading issues discussed by
Mr.. Donaghey, except two, are
boldly taken up by Mr.. Hinemon
and offered as his own. One of
the exceptions is his policy with
reference to dealing with railroads.
So far as we have been able to
learn from reports of his speeches
Mr.. Hinemon has ignored this i'm
portant issue. The other is the
policy with reference to the state
capitol. Mr.. Donaghey favors dis
charging the mission, architect
and contractors and putting honest
men in charge, while Mr.. Hinemon
favors continuing them.
But from what source Mr.. Hine-
derived his one original plank
we know not. This is his propos-
ition to exempt $3.50 worth of per-
sonal property from every taxpayer.
In discussing this proposition last
week, The Log Cabin Democrat
stated that it would free practically
every negro in the state from tax
alton and destroy nearly every one
OF Arkansas rural schools. 1t
would inevitably reduce the state
to a worse condition than it has
experienced since the reconstruc-
ton era. We were led to wonder
how Mr.. Hinemon, who poses as
the educational candidate fo-
governor, could favor a measure
so inlmical TO the school interests
OF the state.
During the week just past howev-
er we have heard little OF thetax-
emption proposition, although Mr..
Hinemou has continued to make
daily speeches since he appeared
at Russellvllle and Atkins and an
uounced i'll favor OF this issue
Whether II l. because he has been
canvasslng the northern section OF
the state, where negroes are few
and far between and there would
be no one to whom the proposition
could appeal or whether he has
afterwards decided that he exceeded
the bounds OF demagogy in urging
it, we do not know.
Don't back down SO soon, Mr..
Hinemon; we are all anxious TO
have you explain how your orig
inal plank will work when put into
actual practice.
