 WHAT LACK Or SYSTEr1
 COSTS.

The examination of county records that furnished the facts and figures used in the article on the dilemma in which ex-Sheriff Joplin finds him. self, gives an idea of one of the req sons why Polk county had few years ago an indebtedness of ap- proximately $30,00O. with its scrip greatly depreciated and little real public work accomplished.
 Probably no man was more sur prised than Mir. Joplin when. on filing his final report with County Judge Prickett, showing large sums in fines uncollected, it was not ap- proved and the books balanced, even though said action meant loss of thousands to the taxpayers of the county.
 As stated, it was but a recent thing that any accounts were kept in the county records of the fines as sessed in the courts and given in the sheriff for collection. the sheriff thus being able to call his accounts

GOOD DOCTRINE, ANYHOW

Senator Jeff Davis is responsible for the publication of 10000 copies of the Presidents message, and says It is the best Democratic doctrine that l have ever heard emanating from a Republican source." It is also probably as good Democratic doctrine as ever came from any source, and it is to be hoped that in Congress the progressive Democrats will join the progressive Republicans in putting in force the principles advocated. The best thing that could happen to the country would be for the class that is against the square deal policies of the Presi- dent to flock together in one party or the other and then let the com mon people take the opposing side and put that party out of business. If the Democrats nominate Parker or the Republicans Knox or For aker, 1t will be easy sailing for we will all know to which side we be- long. Let 'em line up.

Advertising in The Star Pays"

One day last week small ad was sent to The Star. It told briefly of a farm for sale and was printed two days in The Evening Star, then in the Weekly. At the time the follow ing was written there had been little time for results from readers of the later paper, especially those in other states:
 Hatton, Ark, Jan. 30. To The Star-Please. discontinue the advertisement of my farm at Old Cove, as the ad brought buyer the same week that it was put in. Have had seventeen applications to buy it all ready, but the farm sold to the first ap- plicant, Mrs. s. A. Parish. Advertis- ing in The Star certainly pays. Luck to The Star. Respectfully,
 John s. Whitten.
 As before remarked, if you have anything to sell for which there is a demand, or want to buy something, or rent house, or any reasonable desire unified, The Star can make your path easy. Try it.

square, with no one in position to question his statement and prove that they were not true.
 It is, of course, a little hard on Mir. Joplin, man whose intentions were good and whose honesty is not questioned, to have to square up according to the records-and they are records, too, under County Clerk Martins administration-but be- ginning had to be made, and the sooner it is made the better off will be the county and the sooner will il become a custom to keep records and accounts of the county in the same precise manner as is necessary to the success of any business insti tuition, public or private.
 One of the first duties of arf off cial should be to conduct his office with strict regard for the law.

Hon. Hal L. Norwood.

Hon. Hal L. Norwood, former prosecuting attorney of this district and who numbers his friends in Little River county by the score, was present at court this week and on Tuesday when the court was ad- iourned for short while to hear an address by MT. Donaghey, candidate for governor, the audience called for Mir. Norwood. MT. Norwood responded in Il short speech in which he mentioned his candidacy for attorney general and thanked the voters of this county for their support in former campaigns when he was candidate for prosecuting attorney. Hal, as he is best known by his many friends in this county, was born in our sister county, Se- vier, and has spent much time in this county, even while a boy and IS held in the highest esteem by our citizens, almost to man.
 The editor has known Mir. Nor wood for the past seventeen years, knew him before he was admitted to the bar, and has many times pre- dicted that he was destined to fill positions of high honor, and we are now glad to see him in the race as we feel confidence of his success.
 If it was left to the voters of this county his opponent would not be in it as they swear by him down here. Little River News.

Norwood in Dallas County.

Hon. Hal Norwood, candidate for attorney general, was in our city a short time last Friday meeting the voters in the interest of his candi- dacy.
 MT. Norwood is a citizen of Polk county, where he is very popular among his people, and should re- ceive strong vote in Dallas county.
 He is one of the leading attorneys in the state and has made an excel lent record in both the senate and lower house of representatives. He also has served as prosecuting at torney two terms.
 As attorney general of Arkansas, Hal Norwwod would be an officer the state would be proud of. Give him your support and help elect a Southwest Arkansas man to re. sponsible position. -Fordyce Fri County Advocate.

FOR STATE SENATOR.

This issue of The Star contains the official announcement of John P. Logan of Grannis as candidate for the office of state senator of this senatorial district, composed of Scott and Polk counties, subject to the action of the Democratic pri- mary.
 In this candidate. although he has been resident of this district fer only about two years, the voters find a man truly an Arkansan and one mighty well known by his works all over the state.
 John P. Logan is possessed of a character full of strength and en- ergy. Wherever he is he will be found working for the development of his section of the country, espe- cially along the line of horticulture and other commercial interests. As secretary of the State Horticultural Society, a position he has held for many years, much good has come to the state through his efforts. As state senator before coming to Polk county and while his. home was at Siloam Springs, he accomplished much for that district, as he can and will for this one if given an oppor- tunity.

 Never kiss girl on the front porch. The mouths the place.
 Crops, ducks and umbrellas should not be raised without rain.
 Many Wall Street broker started life on farm watering stock.

 A wedding is great thing to sober man who is intoxicated with love.
 All married men should be good listeners-all happily married men are.
 Beware of the fellow who has a scheme to make you rich without work.
 We will never lack for humorists as long as the American weather prophets live.
 It is understood that mirror trust is about to be organized. This needs looking into. Money talks---and sometimes the man who marries it finds that it talks too much.

 It is not so easy to make living as it is to make love.
 A man needs friend, not to flat ter him, but to strengthen him at his weak points.
 The poor man who gets rich often affords the best example of thor oughly mean man.
 If your enemy is not reliable and honest don't tell on him. He will get his without your assistance.
 No man has good sense who thinks it smart to swear. Get over the habit, boys, as early as possible.
 No person, man or woman, who can't look on the bright side, should ever be permitted to enter the mar riage state.
 A girl loves to read letter as she walks along the str eet, particularly if 1t is bold handwriting that looks like A Mans.
 Love is good deal like scarlet fever. Some people recover from l 1t all right, while others suffer all their lives from the bad effects. We have noticed that a man gets disgusted with his business he is just about sufficiently acquainted with il to make money out of it.. A funeral where all present are broken-hearted is distressing; but z | funeral where none of those present are broken-hearted is worse. 1 It always makes the neighborhood smile when woman bosses her hus' band, and they are particularly hilarious if it happened that he was rasied a pet dog.
 An Atchison girl recently ran across lot of love letters written many years ago by her mother tc her father before they were mar ried. The daughter pretended that the letters were of recent date and read them to her mother, who was disgusted beyond measure, saying il was surprising that such silly per sons were permitted to live.

A GOOD THING TO PUSH.

The candidacy of Hal L. Norwood for attorney general of Arkansas is good thing that Mena and Polk county should push along mot only because of the especial fitness of Mir. Norwood for the office and the credit his election will be to the state at large, but because he is and will be a stanch friend of his home com munity and will make it's advantages known wherever his duties call him.
 While there seems little doubt at this time but what he will be suc- cessful in his race, yet his friends at home should not allow indifference on their part to handicap him. but should lend active assistance wher- ever possible.
 It's a good way to boom Mena and Polk county.

ADVICE OF A STATESMAN

IE a recent talk in Washington w. J. Bryan startled his Democratic hearers by suggesting and urging a new system for defeating the Re- publicans in Congress. He said that Roosevelt and his ideas were right, and were opposed by large ele- ment in his own party, particularly in Congress, and that the proper course for the Democrats is to get behind the President and support his policies.
 Mir. Bryan went further and said that as Roosevelt's policies were right. and the people knew them to be so, the issue in the next campaign, in case he (Bryan) received the Democratic nomination, would be as to who best represented those poli- cies, he or Taft, granting that Taft was the nominee of his party. There is no doubt but such ideas,
 
 presented by such an authority and leader, shocked good many mem bers of his party. But they are right. They are in direct line with the idea of using the means at hand to accomplish an end. When MT. Bryan was in Mena a few weeks ago he said plainly and without any attempt at equivocation, that he absolutely knew that the people who opposed him were ene- mics also of the President and that these enemies were in both parties. Naturally, and The Star believes correctly, Mr. Bryan thinks that those who are against the principles for which both he and the President are contending are against the inter- ests of the common people---the producers of all classes. Now he proposes that the people who are for these principles get together and use their united power to sup port them through Roosevelt while he is President, and then, get to- gether in choosing his successor, giving their votes to the man they believe will best represent those ideas.
 That looks like an almost complete new alignment of the people in re- lation to the two great. parties, but it is the best, certainly the quickest, way that the people can bring about the desired end---a square deal to all and special privilege to none.
 What should we care what name a party bears if it stands securely for the right principles?
 And when we select the man for whom we vote, let us do, as Bryan says, choose the one who best rep resents the right ideas. regardless of party.

ANOTHER FOR CIRCUIT CLERK

In this issue of The Star appears the announcement of Gus Pirtle for the office of circuit clerk of Polk county, subject to the action of the Democratic primary.
 Mir. Pirtle is the son of B. F. Pir- tie of old Dallas. He was born and reared on his fathers farm just east of Dallas and has lived there all his life and followed farming during the entire time with the exception of couple of years service in book keeping with w. F.. Watkins & Bros, and the Consolidated Construction Company of this city.
 There is probably not young man in the county who is better known or more highly respected than is Gus Pirtle and there is no question as to his ability for proper ly administering the duties of the office to which he aspires should he be elected.

HYPOTHETICAL BAsENEss.

In appealing for far-reaching law making employers liable for in juries to their employees, President Roosevelt, in his message said:
 ''It is meet and fit that the apolo- gists for corrupt wealth should op- pose every effort to relieve weak and helpless people from crushing mis- fortune brough. upon then, -bl injury in the business from which they gain a bare livelihood. The burden should be distributed. It is hypocrltical baseness to speak sf a girl who works in factory where dangerous machinery is unprotected as having the right freely to con tract to expose herself to dangers of life and limb. She has no alterna- tive but to suffer want or else to expose herself to such dangers

Undoubtedly the insurance inves- tigation is over. The big companies are already carrying on an active campaign for the repeal of the leg islation prepared by Mir.

Young Mr. Hyde remains in Paris; but, then, he always. preferred Paris to New York, and needed but little excuse for cutting the ties that bound him to America. These ties being chiefly coupons, they were easily cut and the proceeds remitted to him. Kansas City Star.

The Righteousness That Exalteth a
 Nation.

On behalf of all our people, on be- half no less of the honest man of means than the honest man who earns each days livelihood by that days sweat of his brow, it is neses- sary to insist upon honesty in busi- ness and politics alike in all walks of life, in big things and in little things; upon just and fair dealing as be- tween man and man: Those who demand this are striving for the right in the spirit of Abraham Lin coin when he said:
 "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsmen in 250 years of unrequited toll shall be sunk. and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid with another drawn with the sword. as was said 5000 years ago, The Judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether
 With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in"
 In the work we of this generation are in there is, thanks be to the no danger of bloodshed md no use for the sword, but there E s grave need for those stern quali- .ies shown alike by the men of the North and the men of the South in

the dark days when each valiantly battled for the light as it was given each to see the light. Their spirit should be our spirit, as we strive to bring nearer the day when greed and trickery and cunning shall be trampled under foot by those who fight for the righteousness that ex- alteth nation. From the Message of President Roosevelt.
