An exchange quotes Governor Pindall as having given utterance to the following somewhat re- markable statement: II can hardly blame Jeff Davis for being at outs with the newspapers of Arkansas, and must confess a great deal he has said about them is the truth. The papers of Arkansas are absolutely devoid of enterprise, and a person has to go outside to get paper which prints the news. It Is really too bad that the newspapers of Ark ansas are not conducted 50 as to please Governor Pindall, but the reason IS doubtless due to the fact that the said newspapers have failed to discern the greatness of His Exce1lency.

Springdale people send to Fay ettevilie and Rogers to buy their ice. Springdale merchants send to Fayetteville and Rogers to buy their groceries, meat, etc. Springdale poultry buyers send their poultry to Fayetteville to be dressed, and their eggs to that place to be shipped out to market in car lots. These are facts, hurnlliating though they may be. Instead of working to build up our own town, we are helping to build up neighboring towns. How long are we going to allow this condition of affairs to continue? This Is a question, the solution of which should have the serious consideration of every man in Springdale who has an interest ln the growth and up- building of the town.

In our Benton County news will be found an Item from the Rogers Democrat stating that a movement is on foot to put in home canneries in that section in order to put up surplus peaches and other fruits. The idea cer- talnly seems to be a good one. Ii growers generally would pre- pare to pack their own fruit at home they would undoubtedly realize more from II than by hauling 1t off and selling 1t. If the stuff IS properly packed d good market can always be found, and the grower will not only re- ceive the extra profit that has heretofore gone to some one else, but he will also receive good wages for himself and family for the time consumed in the work. We hope to see some of the grow CTS in this vicinity try the ex- pertinent.

Practically the entire business portion of Sprlngdaie. Washing ton, was destroyed by fire recent ly. ole of the sufferers being the publisher of the Reformer, who lost all oEhis plant. The Re form. did not miss an issue, however. and announces that a flew and better plant has been ordered and the paper will con- tinue to do business at the old stand. The News comments this spirit of never-,ay-die dis played by the Reformer. and that II will eventually win out goes without saving.
 The News feels sure that all of our correspondents will join with Us III rendering congratula- tions to our eo-worker, Marion Mason, of Johnson, on his nonl- nation for State Senator by the Republicans of Washington County. While it is not probable that he wili be elected the honor of the nomination could not have been more worthily bestowed. There are lots of men in tile state legislature every session who have not the ability of our friend Mason.
 Although The News Is not at liberty just now to give any names, NC can say that the pros- poets are excellent for an ice plant in Sprlngdale. The gen- tleman who IS figuring on the enterprise is man who does things when he takes hold and lie has sufficient means to make the enterprise go. An ice plant in Sprlngdale ought to be pay ing investment, and 1t will keep many dollars at home that are now going 10 Fayetteville and Rogers.

The Springdale news., 1908-07-31

The News IS pleased to print the following resolutions adopted by the recent congressional con- vention complimen tary to Con- gressman J. (. Floyd. As The News has remarked on more than one than one occasion, no district has a more honest or conscien- tious representative than the third, and that Mr. Floyd IS popular with his constituents IS shown by the fact that he was renominated without opposition.
 Following are the resolutions:
 Resolved, That the delegates in the Congressional Convention assembled, take pleasure and point with pride to the splendid achievements of Congressman J. C. Floyd as a Representative from this Congressional District, and that we desire to publicly express to him for ourselves and his constituents our hearty ap- proval of his untiring and un- ceasing efforts for the welfare of +l,iS diStrit.t
 That we unllesitatingly com mend his battles on the floor of the National Congress against the enemies of Democratic Gov ernment, and now declare him one of the ablest and most fear less Democrats that our proud state has sent to Washington.
 That this resolution be pulp lished in the Democrats news papers in this Congressional district.
 The United States circuit court of appeals at Chicago last week reversed the district court in the case of the government against the Standard Oil Company, in which Judge Landis of the latter court assessed d fife of s29, 240, :  900 against the oil company for accepting rebates from d railroad company. The court of appeals holds that Judge Landis erred in refusing toadmit certain evidence, that he erred in considering each car lot seperatc otfense, and further that tile fine imposed was eXhorbitant. Very few peo- pie ever expected that the tine would be paid, for corporations with the wealth and influence of the Standard Oil Company have a way of getting away from the verdicts of courts that k not en- joyed by those of moderate means. President Roosevelt says there is no question about the guilt of the accused, and he urges that no time be lost in a retrial of the  case.
