him upon these all important sub

President Roosevelt. too. seems
now TO be aware that the situation
is desperate and the outlook discour-
aging. He has "shied his castor" in

tide that has been so steadily setting
ia against his chosen candidate. He
has done some good in some quar-
tiers by his activity and much harm
in others.
II is known that the outlook is
puzzling and the result in much
doubt. Mr. Bryan has certainly
shown remarkable ability in conduct
ing his campaign and in corralling

playing the same game on him. that

any movement calculated to benefit
the people of independence county,

There is threatened car shortage
on the railroads operating in Arkan-

nearly three thousand badorder cars
sidetracked at Arkadelphia awaiting
repairs. Yet the railroad shops are
nearly all closed down, and the heavy
shipping season will soon be here. II
seems that railroad companies, as well
as others, sometimes exercise very
poor business judgment.

Few people stop to think that their
individual happiness is not dependent
altogether on outside circumstances.
A habit of happiness, or at least of
cheerfulness, can be cultivated, like
any other habit, and just as success
fully. Happiness is. as much a duty
as morality or cleanliness, and every
person owes it to themselves and their
associates to cultivate cheerful, hope
ful temper, which refuses to allow
oneself to become narrowed up, or all
out of sorts, upon the least provoca-
ton.

4 MONUMENTAL LIAR

If one believed the statements pub
lished in the Newport Democrat he
would think that, when saloons are
voted out of town or community,
every young man in the community
suddenly becomes an old topper with
an Unsuitable appetite for liquor, and
orders jug after jug. The most peeul-
lar logic we ever heard of is that con-
tanned in the liquor mems argument
that boys will drink more whislley
when there are no saloons and they
have to order their whiskey, than they
do when the open saloon haunts its
temptations in their face day after day.
Any man in Newark will tell you that
there is not one-tenth as much whiskey
drank in Newark now as there was
when there were saloons in town. We
see nor hear of no boys ordering
whiskey here. The only people who
order whiskey here are men who have
been habitual drinkers for years and
have become SO accustomed to the use
of liquor that they can not do without
it.
The Newport Democrat is noted for
its INSCRIPTIONS lying, but the most
goundess, open-faced, self-evident
and uncrupulous lie ever uttered by
that champion of vice and degeneracy
is its statement that prohibition makes
drunkards of youngsters who would
not dare to ask for drink in sa-
loon.

DID YOU EVER SAY GooD-BYEt

Did you ever notice how some peo-
plesay good bye, and did youever notice
that with some people it is a hard
word to speak? Or did you ever anayl-
ize goodbye" to see what it really
means? Cold, icy-hearted people may
laugh at the idea that it should be a
hard word to speak, but let them laugh
icy hearts are never kind.
Goodbye is a word that has choked
many an utterance, and started many
tear. The hand is clasped, the word
is spoken; we part, and are out on the
ocean of time-we go TO meet again
where? God only knows. It may be
soon; it may be never. Take care
that your goodbye be not cold one
it may be the last one you can give.
Ere you meet again deaths cold hand
may have closed his eyes and chained
his lips forever. He may have died
thinking you loved him not.
When we must seperate let us not
tear ourselves away with careless
boldness that defes all love and ten
derness, but remember, it may be the
last goodbye, so make your words
linger with sacred tenderness-giye
your heart full utterance-and If tears
fall, what of it? Tears are not un-
manly.
