CANDIDATE FOR REPRESEN.
 TATIVE.

In this issue of The Star appears the announcement of the Rev. w. E. Justice of Mountain township as a candidate for representative be- fore the Democratic primary.
 Mir. Justice has been a resident of this portion of Arkansas first in Montgomery and then in this county) for more than twenty-five years, For the last eight years he has lived at Cherry Hill, where he has farmed and served the people as pastor of several of the country churches. In this way he has become well known, especially in the eastern portion of the county, and stands very high among the people as capable, hon. est and earnest man who, if given an opportunity will serve the people to the best of his ability.
 He believes the people should rule and if he goes to the legislature he will follow the will of the majority of his constituents in working for all classes of legislation.

The Rewards of Fidelity to Duty.

When an official is seeking to en- force the law against those of high degree, he may find himself beseiged on every hand; close friends may plead; inducements and hopes may be held out for lessened activity; political annihiliation be threatened if he proceeds. Pursuing steadily the course he has marked out, with the good of the people alone in view, such an official may find himself at times fairly surrounded by wall of hostile influences. Now and then, if he looks over and beyond to that great public he is trying to serve, a friendly look here and there, or the clasp of an outstretched hand, will cheer and encourage him on to further endeavors. He cannot ex- pect the good opinion of those against whom he enforces the law. Their illwill is the best evidence of his sincerity. If he stops, he will be applauded by those he should prosecute. If he goes ahead, he will encounter sneers. gibes and calumnies. He should prefer to have the approval of his own con- science in having done his best rather than to receive the praise of those who profit by his neglect of duty. He should rather retire to private life. conscious of having done all he could, than, by failing to do, receive the econiums of lawbreakers.

 There are a hundred good reasons for behaving, yourself, but here is the best one: It is easier to go to heaven than it is to go to hell. A man who behaves himself has an easier and better time and is more successful, than the man who makes speciality of bad habits.

MAY BE "FUNNY," BUT IT'S
 A DISGRACE.

Doesn't it sound little funny to hear the attorney general of Iowa de- claring that corporations and brewer ies cannot own retail saloons in that state? Yet Iowa has state wide pro- hibition by constitutional amendment adopted by an overwhelming majority. The explanation is that Iowa found prohibition did not prohibit and as the only way out of bad box passed what is called a ''mulct'' law, designed literally to 'smulct' or fine saloons for the privilege of operating under wholesome restrictions instead of the multitude of blind tigers and boot leggers who fourished under the prohibition regime. Here is a state compelled to license the violation of constitutional law in order to be rid of thoroughly discredited, imprac- ticable and breeding state of affairs, to-wit: prohibition in prac- tice as opposed to prohibition in theory. Fort Smith Times.
 Such condition as outlined above is disgrace to Iowa and to the United States. That the people of any state should allow themselves to rest under such a stigma is unex- plainable under any hypothesis other than that they are indifferent to ideas of honesty or lack that element of backbone necessary to live up to their convictions. If the majority of the people favor prohibition they have small excuse for not enforcing the law they have enacted. If the majority are against it, it is little less than cowardly that they do not repeal the law they disapprove.
 The Star does not believe that prohibition is the ultimate solution of the liquor problem. It does be- lieve that with the removal of all screens from the front of all drink ing places and the discontinuance of treating" at the bars the evil will cure itself in a very short time in fact, that such a course would all most put an end to saloons. This is on the theory that no man save one wholly demoralized will ever for himself and by himself buy and drink liquor to his injury. and few boys or young men would ever walk into an open. screenless saloon and drink at all.
 But Arkansas faces trial at pro- hibition in the near future, and when it's voters enact such a law let it be hoped above all that there will arise no such condition as that now existing in Iowa.

 This is an unusual offer coming at a time when the tendency is all toward raising the price of all weekly papers to meet the increased cost of publication because of high prices for white paper, etc.
 This offer is not made alone to new subscribers, but is open to old ones as well all in Polk county who pay for The Mena Weekly Star one year in ad- vance $1.00.

J. W. Leeper announces today for the office of constable of Center township, subject to the will of the voters of the Democratic primary.
 Mir, Leeper is well known, having been in the grocery business for some time and says that he has at last consented to comply with the requests he has received to enter the race for constable. If elected he promises to fill the office in a way that will be considered right ane honorable, carrying out the laws and treating all alike. He says he has been a hard worker in the Democratic party all his life and this is his first time to ask reward.

(Atchison GloDe.l There never was town so good that it could help man who refused
 to try. If you are not doing very well don't blame your enemy. Look yourself over. A widower uses his children as an excuse for marrying again, the same as he does for going to the circus. You might as well try to shoot off a gun slowly as to make some men
 act moderately.
 The man who is the true friend of the people is never the one who spends the most of his time telling
 them about it.
 When a man tells his troubles, the
 listeners sympathies are usually
 with the other man, who is not both- ering him.

How to Pick a Candidate.

Whether a candidate drinks or serves cocktails; whether candidate is profane in his habit of speech; whether candidate is cold m his manner; whether candidate IS of stout physical build; whether a candidate believes in women hav- ing babies; whether candidate shakes hands in cordial manner are these the serious issues that should concern the people in their choice of chief executive of the United States ?
 When party names are meaning less and party machinery is the tool by which the powerful and crafty seek improper power; when the real issue is the protection of the peo- ple's rights against the subtle en- croachments of the money power; when public men are playing double roles and everything is done tc throw dust in the peoples eyes when the determining conventions are less than five months distant-is it not worth while to give moments serious consideration to men?
 Search the records of the candi dates. Look to their associations Find their friends, their financia backing, and whence and where they have their money. Listen tc their words; then listen harder to their acts. See who are their enc mics. An, there's the rub! If g candidate has enemies, and if these enemies are the natural enemies of the people-that's the candidate for your voice and vote. Southwest American.

A FARMER PHILOSOPHER.

Last week Polk county farmer, old enough to have served faithfully the cause of the Confederacy, and young enough to heartily enjoy and take part in the activities of life, came into the office of The Star and planked down good silver dollar for one more years subscription a thing he has not forgotten to do almost since the paper was founded.
 This old friend knew well the former editor and had many kind words of commendation for the work he had done, then allowed his praise to extend to the boys" and The Star of today.

Bryan on Live Issues.

When the Economic Club gave a dinner in New York early in Febru- ary, William J. Bryan was one of the speakers, and among the seven hundred guests were many New York bankers and capitalists. Fol lowing are excerpts from Mir. Bry- ans speech:
 Tt seems to me that it is strain ing point to denounce the govern ment for issuing 345 millions of promises to pay, bearing no interest, when he (ex-Secretary Gage) does not denounce the issue of 700 mil- lions of bank promises to pay, that bear no interest. If a banks promi- ses to pay, bearing no interest, is fit to serve as money, why should not a governments promise to pay, bear ing no interest, be fit to serve as as money?"

 It is clear, also, that MT. Koose- welt suspects a political purpose m proposed wage reductions.

The only drastic" railway Legislation enacted by the present Congress IS the Rate law which abolishes rebates and thus, other things being equal, should increase rather than diminish the net earnings of carriers, since all rate favors are prohibited.
 The President has taken the right course to meet both the business and the political question involved. lie has asked the interstate Commerce Commission to investigate transpor- tation conditions; to report for the public's benefit whether there are causes for wage reductions, and, ii so, what these causes are; to state whether reductions are proposed 1T order to pay dividends on inflated oi standard stocks; in short, to get the facts necessary to enlighten tht people so that there may be an effec tive public opinion on the policies o1 the railroads and the attitude of tht trades unions toward them in case o1 strikes.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.

Catherine B. Johnson, Press lsuP.
 The w. c. T. U. met with Mrs. Knight Tuesday. February Is, at the usu; hour. After an interest ing session we had an address rom Mrs. Willie of Clay Center, has.' who for some time has been visiting relatives here. Her recognition o1 the evils of intemperance as tne foundation of nearly all eViis of humanity, united with her conse- cration to the work, would nave been a great encouragement and ] inspiration, had she been but a si- lent sympathizer and spectator. Another feature of the occasion was the presence of the Rev. John Belt. When we add to his well known sympathy with the cause, his earnest manner and his ever ready words or encouragement---faithful ana ln- spring words---we can realize what factor in the enthusiasm of the meeting he became. We also had a talk from MT. Littlejohn, honorary member. He has long been identl- fled with the temperance movement in Mena and the cause has gained much from his outspoken and thor ough devotion to the work. He IS in perfect accord with w. C. T. U. methods of prosecuting temperance work.
 In its numerous departments o1 work this organization seems to have forgotten no class of sufferers ard no condition of human misery. The needs of childhood, the Iprotec' ton of girlhood, the remedies fol pauperism, the development o1 schemes for moral and intellectua education, all have found place 1T in this great army of workers; ane the connection between the temper ance problem and every reform + made plain, and temperance is ths foundation of every effort ant should interest every woman in thu land.
 l We hope to be favored with tht presence of Mrs. Minnie M. Ruther ford, state recording secretary O our order, in about two weeks, wh' will lecture on State Prohibition and we trust that goodly numbe of the good people will be in attend ance.
 The Loyal Temperance Legiol is now planning for an entertain ment to be given at the M. E church, South, Friday, February 2e at 7.30 p. m. The play Flags o Freedom" will be rendered. An other feature will scene in court or a trial by jury. Come and SC . what your children are doing.
