AN OFFICIAL BLUNDER


1t is The Journals candid opinion
that Acting Governor Hamiter's call
for a special session of the legislature
is one of the worst official plumbers
made in Arkansas in many years.
The legislature costs the taxpayers
OF Arkansas over thousand dollars
Gay for each day it is in session.
There is not sufficient money in the
general revenue fund in the state
treasury to defray the expenses of a
ten days session of the Legislature.
1t is less than eight months until the
regular session of the legislature con-
venes. No emergency has arisen de-
handing immediate attention, and yet
the already overburdened taxpayers
OF the state are required to she'll down
at least cool twenty thousand dol
lars for special session of the legis-
latnre merely to satisfy the whim of a
backwoods lawyer intoxicated with
power because of the fact that an acct
dent has placed him in the governors
chair for few days.

The services of the county editor to
the local community are not appreci-
ated by the community that he serves
best. The local newspaper is expected
to do more for the community than
any other influence in it, and it gets
less for what it does. But for the past
ten or fifteen years the position of the
country ssitor has been improved as
a growing recognition af his SER
vices. The newspaper is esser-
tial to progress, and all classes are
ready to give it better support than
heretofore. With the growth of the
country, with its improved material
conditions, the newspaper improves
and the position of the country editor
and the country paper reaches more
independent position. = Home and

In connection with the intense in
terest manifested by the public at
large in the theory of l.. T. Cooper
as to the human stomach being the
source of nearly all i'll health, the
statements of Mr.. w. D. Spaulding,
of Hallowe1l, Me-, one of the Oldest
and best-known druggists in that state,
and of Mrs. Frederick Harvey, we'll
known nurse living in the same place,
will be interesting to thousands of
persons who are today suffering from
ailments directly traceable to the
stomach. The fact that these state
ments are made voluntarily, under
oath, removes all element of doubt.
The statements follow:
'HALLoWELL, MAINE, July 20, 1907.
''To THE COOPER MEDICINE Co.,
Dayton, Ohio.
Conference.-The policy at Spauld-
ing's drug store is to gain the per-
feet confidence of the public by never
recommending any medicine or treat
ment until it's virtues have been fully
established. The Cooper Remedies
were to us an unknown quality, we
were very skeptical of their medicinal
value, and it was not until several of
our customers had received such bene-
fetal results from their use that we
could no longer doubt their value that
we consented to take the agency for
the Cooper Remedies in this territory,
heartily endorsing the same.
Herewith we give the testimonial
of a lady whose case came under our
personal observation from her being
a regular customer, and she says
".Gentlemen of the Cooper Medicine

If you don't just like everything you
see in your home paper, go around the
street and howl. The editor is never
supposed to make mistake and oil
course cannot do so. Other people
can, but the editor is ubiquitous,
omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent,
"omniverous. If you can't see a
good point, don't fail to see a bad one.
If thousand pleasant things are said
of people, hunt for something unpleas-
ant, If you don't find it, howl some
more; if you do howl anyway. Never
mind your own business: watch for
something to find fault with in some
other mans business; this will make
you great.

Heaven help the man who imagines
he can dodge enemies by trying to
please everybody. If such an individ-
ual ever succeeds, pass him over this
way that we may have one look at his
mortal remains ere he vanishes away,
for surely this earth cannot be his alb
idin. place. Now we do not infer that
one should go through this world try
ing to lind beams to knock and thump
his head against, disputing every
mans opinion, fighting and elbowing
and crowding all who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme.
Other people have their opinions, so
have you. Don't fall into the error
OF suppoaing they will respect you
more fer turning your coat every day,
to match the color of theirs. Wear
your own clothes in spite of wind and
weather. storms and sunshine. Itcosts

A prominent public man recently
called attention to the vast extent of
the life insurance business in this
country, by comparing it with the
banking business. Thee, 544 national
and 1882 state, private and savings
banks and trust companies have an
aggregate capital and surplus of
$4,000, 900, 900, and deposits of s13, o00,-
100000. Ninety-three insurance com
panies had admitted assets of over
$4,000, 900, 900 and insurance in force
amounting to 81 ,000, 900, 900.

TRYING TO OVERTHROW
A LOVED TRADITION
Ground Hog, 1t Is Said, Is No
Weather Prophet.

Elwood, Ind, March Jacob Wise
near this city, has protected a family
of ground hogs on his farm for six
years. He took special note Of the
animals on Ash Wednesday, and he
says that so far as wea her prognosti-
cations are concerned, there is moth
ing to indicate that these rodents have
anything to do with the weather.
Three Of the little animals emerged
from their holes about 6 o'clock on Ash
Wednesday and partook of a celery
and carrot breakfast. one of them ap-
parently returning to tie den to tell
the rest of the family what was going
on. The remaining two came out,
and none of the grOundhogs returned
to the den until after 9 o'clock. and
would not likely have done SO then.
but a dog approached and they scam
pered at the first scent of danger. Mr..
Wise says that the groundhogs have
been out at least twenty times this
winter, and they stay out on sun-shiny
days three or four hours before return
ing.
