MANUFACTURING IN nENA.

The news columns in this issue of The Star tell of the formation of the Mena Box and Manufacturing Co.,, which is composed largely of home people and is now almost ready to begin operations, and with big or ders for it's products and the assur- ance of unlimited market in the future.
 This is certainly a move in the right direction. There is nothing that will do more to build up com munity than the establishment of industries that will utilize and put on the market it's resources, and em- ploy labor Tn the work of so doing.
 The Mena Box and Manufacturing Company will bring much money to Mena that will be paid out for raw material and labor, and may lead to other similar enterprises coming here.
 In this line should be mentioned the manufacture of brick. The city has sent out thousands of dollars to other cities for the brick used in its buildings, while there is no question but the best of raw material is here awaiting but the coming of practical brick makers to be turned into building material and ready money.
 The Star hopes to be able to tell it's readers soon of another enter prise for which there is a real de- mand that is to be established in Mena.

be removed. The people who own the land and grow the crops ought to control the prices, and not the people who speculate for their own profit.
 We read in the papers that New York man has made a profit of $5 ,000,0 ,000 by the short selling of stocks. The owners of the stocks did not make these low prices, but men who did not own them forced the owners to sell. If it is crime for one man to sell property which he does not own, but some day hopes to own, why is it not crime to sell the cotton or corn which a man does not own, and thus force prices down, compelling the man who owns the cotton and corn to sell at less than the real value of the commodity "A. E. Stilwell.
The Mena weekly star., 1908-01-09
A CONDITION WE FACE.

A dispatch says that despite the fact that every charity organization in New York City has reached the limit of it's capacity to care for the paupers within it's gates there are yet 50,000 shelterless and homeless people in the city and more coming. The coming of the first cold wave of winter is dreaded as it must under these circumstances cause untold misery.
 This story reads very like the stories of poverty and suffering that we have so long viewed at long range only and through the eyes of writers who tell of conditions in London and Paris, and other foreign cities.
 Must America, too, become hard ened to such conditions, or will some wise and strong man or organization find a remedy?
 Charity is not only not cure for this condition, but is beginning at the wrong end. What men want who have yet their manhood is a chance to earn livelihood by hon. est and properly paid service. They want work, not aims.
 But charity soon weakens the character and saps the manhood. Gradually they drift to degrada- ton where they want not work, but aims.
 These problems of caring for the poor and homeless will never be solved by charity. They will always exist and multiply until every man who h S the strength and desire to work can do so and receive the pro- ducts of his effort, and he who has the ability but does not want to work on that basis must do so or Starve.

| ii SHARP.

In the proper place in this issue appears the announcement of J. H.. Sharp for the office of sheriff of Polk county, subject to the action of the Democratic primary.
 Mr. Sharp has won the reputation since living in this county as being a straightforward, honest citizen, strong in the belief that our laws should be enforced, and those who have had an opportunity to come in contact with him know that he is not lacking in that element so important for men seeking official duty the courage of his convictions.
 MT. Sharp favors prohibition but he is not fanatic on the subject, he simply believes in the enforce ment of the law and if during his administration he is called upon to enforce a prohibition law he wishes now to pledge himself to the voters that he will enforce it.
 MT. Sharp was in the race at the last primary election, showing splendid strength, receiving only 90 votes less than his successful oppon- ant

JOHN ii. HAMILTON.

The announcement of the well known real estate man, John H. Hamilton, appears in this issue of The Star for reelection to the office of Representative of Polk County.
 Mir. Hamilton was the peoples choice for this office at the last cleo ton and in now coming before them and asking for the customary second term Mr. Hamilton need not hesitate to rest his case on his record in the former legislature. In that body Polk county's man worked at all times in the interests of the people.
 He did not make an effort to see how many bills he could introduce or how much attention he could attract but with close application to the interests of his constituents worked for the right measures at the right time with view of injecting busi- ness methods, which oftimes are lacking, into that legislative body.
 Mir. Hamilton is one of the best known men in the state and his re- cord in the legislature has added to his popularity.

the Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific railroads, known as the Harrl- man system, on the charge of viola ton of the antitrust law.
 The contention of the government is that these roads are working in common to control rates and busi- ness in a manner to preclude com petition.
 The most important feature Tn connection with this proposed suit, aside from the result it is hoped to attain, is that the action is proof positive that President Roosevelt and his administration are not going to be bluffed from their fight or lawbreakers in high places by threats from Wall Street.

PRACTICAL HELD TO PR0fiIBl-
 TON,

Senator Benjamin F. Tillman of South Carolina is at this time work ing for change in one clause of the interstate commerce law that will go far forward solving the problem of enforcing prohibition laws in states where the majority of the voters have adopted such a law.
 The amended law reads as follows, the words in capitals being inserted at Tillman's request and being the only change:
 Belt enacted, etc, That all ferment- ed, distilled, or other intoxicating liquors or liquids transported into any State or Territory or remaining therein for use, consumption, sale, or storage therein, shall upon arrival WITHIN THE BORDERS OF THE STATE AND BEFORE OR AFTER DELIV- FRY TO THE CoNSIGNEE in such State or Territory be subject to the SPNhdNiVtA anu NhCIN ol tnt idWS or such State or Territory enacted in the exercise of its police powers, to the same extent and in the same manner as though such liquids or liquors had been produced in such State or Terri tory, and shall not be exempt there from by reason of being introduced therein in original packages or other wise.
 The original clause was construed by the Supreme court in such a manner as to prevent the police pow CTS of state from interfering with the shipment of liquors until after it had been delivered to the con- signee, which frequently nullifed the intent of the law. The added words will clearly place in the hands of the officers of a prohibition state the power to deal with any consign- ments of liquor in the hands of an express company or railroad in &C.,

geographical qualification, but should l be narrow enough to do so would call his attention to the fact that in 1901 Green county, right there by him, furnished the lie1ten- ant governor; that in 1903 Cross county, adjoining his county, fur nished the lieutenant governor; that in 1905 Monroe county, also adjoining Woodruff, furnished the lieutenant governor; that 1903 his judicial district furnished the speak CT of the house, and in 1907 the president of the senate; that in 1905 his judicial district furnished a supreme judge. I live in big judi cial district of six counties that never had state officer or lieuten- ant governor or speaker of the house.
 Please say in conclusion that so far as I am concerned, l wish that senators and acting governors would leave this election to the people. am going to take care of my part of it."
 It is becoming very apparent that the effort of Mir. Norwood's oppo- nent to tangle him up in an unsavory manner with political conditions is resulting in Hal getting all the best of the turn. Where Mena's candi- date is best known he has the repu. tation of taking care of himself ai all timea

MENA'S GUESTS.

It is seldom that little city the size of Mena is honored by having within its boundaries in one day so many distinguished men as was here Saturday.
 While the coming of any one of four of these men would have at tracted the attention and interested most of the citizens, William Jen- nings Bryan is the magnetic center around which all revolve. It is a fact worthy of note that during the two years since the first efforts were made to bring MT. Bryan here he has grown continually in the confi- dence of the common people, and probably also is far better fitted than earlier to assume the duties of the high office to which he twice aspired, and in which a large pro- portion of the voters of the nation would yet like to see him placed. The nomination for the presidency of any candidate by the Republican party among those prominently mentioned, save perhaps.T Taft, would assuredly make Mir. Bryan the logi- cal candidate of the Democratic party, in which case his election would be almost certain. Despite the efforts in some quarters. to dis credit him, the people believe in both his honesty of purpose and his ability.
 Of the candidates for governor of Arkansas, each man has his follow ing and his platform, and it is cer- tain that when they departed each carried away good opinions of Mena and her hospitality. And the people of Mena, at the same time, had a chance to pick among the men its favorite candidate for governor of Arkansas according as it believed in the principles enunci- ated and in the integrity and fitness of the individual advocating them, regardless of the personal pleas of outsiders.
 Regardless of differences of opin- ion as to the merits of other candi- dates, Mena, Polk county and the greater portion of Eastern Arkansas will be practically solid for Hal Nor wood, and if Western Arkansas differs in this regard from any other portion of the state it will simply be because we know him best.
The Mena weekly star., 1908-01-09
A. E. WEAR.

MT. A. E. Wear, who lives at Board Camp, makes announcement in The Star as candidate for the office of Assessor of Polk county, subject to the action of the Demo cratic primary.
 Mir. Wear was raised in this county, and is at present justice of the peace of Fulton township. He is probably, however, best known in educational circles, having been a teacher in the public schools of the county for seventeen years. Aside from his school and official q ties Mir. Wear is a farmer.
 MT. Wears many friends and ac- quaintances have faith in his ability and integrity and he will doubtless give a good account of himself be. fore the primary in March.
The Mena weekly star., 1908-01-09

cordance with the provisions of the state laws.
 If the national government would, in conjunction with this law, as it certainly should in respect to the expressed wishes of a state or com munity, cease issuing licenses to sell liquor in direct violation of the laws enacted by the people of such a state and territory, the question of the enforcement of prohibition laws would be greatly simplified.
 The people of Arkansas are at this time especially interested in these questions. It is almost an assured fact that at the first oppor- tunity the state will go strongly for prohibition, and when in does it is certainly to be hoped that conditions will favcr the strict enforcement of | the law.

EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY.
(Atchison Globe.)


 Being a ''good fellow" has cost many man good job.
 There are lot of misers in the world from the spendthrift's point of view.
 The man who depends on luck is bad enough, but he becomes hope less when he begins referring to it as fate.
 What an uncommonly fine article of common sense a man has the day after he has made fool of himself.
 There is so little excuse for some lies that they can only be explained on the theory that they are told for practice.
 When the world never hears how mean a husband man is, it praises his wife flor keeping her troubles to herself" :"
 When I was a young man, an old fellow said today, "I noticed that the ladies looked at me a great deal, and I fiattered myself that they were admiring me, but l afterwards discovered that they were only re- marking my big mouth." We are on the streets every day, and have noticed this: We soon hear compliments for a man who IS polite, industrious and efficient. We never knew this rule to fail. Some people believe that good conduct is not remarked by people. This is a mistake. We can name number of Atchison people who are compli- mented everywhere, because they are capable, polite and efficient. Nothing in the theory that only evil doers are talked about"
