The man who makes money in a
community has duty to perform
toward that community. 1t may
be that he has made his money by
his superior business ability, and
that he would have done as we'll
anywhere, but that does not alter
the case. If his gifts are great his
responsibilities are equally as great.
No man was placed on earth for
the sole purpose of making money,
and the man who has this as his
ideal places a very low estimate
upon life.

Several of the newspapers of
the state have seriously objected
to the action of Governor Dona-
ghey in appointing Fl. l.. Kennel,
a Republican, on the new state
capitol commission. If Donaghey
never did anything worse than
that, he would make the state a
model governor. There is entirely
too much narrow partisan preju-
dice in Arkansas, and the sooner
we get away from this narrow way
of trying to make it appear that
there is no ability or integrity out
side of our own political party,
the better it will be for us. Ev-
erybody = Democrats, Republi-
cans, Populists, and all others, are
taxed alike for the construction of
the state capitol, and politics should
never enter a matter of this kind.
The Journal believes in a broader,
higher and better way of doing
things than after the groyeling
fashion of the petty politician who
can see no honesty, no integrity,
no virtue and no ability in any
man except the fellow who sees
everything just as he does. Such
a man is a dangerous character in
governmental affairs. Besides, we
can hardly conceive of any set of
men making greater or more
utter failure of an undertaking
than our own good Democratic
brethren have made of building
the state capitol.

CORN COBS AND POTATOES

A new idea in potato growing
has been suggested by an expert
ment made by Rev. Jas. f. Jerni-
gan and the fine yield of tubers
produced on few rows of pota
toes grown by him this spring.
He planted four rows about %
yards long, from which he harvest
ed ten bushels of potatoes, besides
what were eaten by the family be-
fore digging time.
When planting the potatoes he
dropped two corn cobs beside
each bill of potatoes, and when the
potatoes were dug he found the
cobs only partly decayed and so
full of moisture that it was very
evident they had been a beneficial
agency in supplying moisture for
the growing plants.
The Journal believes this idea
if put to practical test will prove
a very beneficial one to potato
growers, especially during dry
season, for nothing holds moisture
like an old corn cob. Save your
cobs and experiment little.

BREWER ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH ROBBERY

Trigger Brewer of Newark, a
well known crook, was arrested
Friday night at the Iron Mountain
depot on a grave charge of robbery.
On several other occasions he has
stolen watches and some other small
articles in Newport, for which he
would be fined, but this last shot
seems to have gotten him as he will
be handed over to the County and
will no doubt be sent to the pen
itentiary. Officers McCuistion and
Barber made the arrest.
The charge against Brewer is the
purloining of wallet from a
travelling man, who had just bought
a ticket and was waiting for the
train. The wallet contained $40
besides the ticket and book of
of credentials, but the property
was all recovered as the thief was
caught before he could make his
get away.
After being put in the lock up
Brewer fell off bunk and nearly
broke his back. Two doctors were
summoned and it is thought the
accident will not prove serious. =

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any Of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it If you take DIR. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

BROWN SCRAPS

BROWN SCRAPS
A friend of mine
Called me to note
A four line verse
Which Pope once wrote.
And so that you
May know the verse
| will the same
To you rehearse:
In virtues self
May too much zeal be had,
The worst of madness
Is a Saint run mad"
When | read this verse
My memory did recall
What the Ruler Festus
One time said to Paul Acts 1924
Paul was very Jealous,
Though Paul was not insane;
He had a manly boldness,
But no disordered brain.
Doubtless my friend
Put this before my face
Thinking these line
Descriptive of my case.
Because | had displayed
On the Polemic field
What he perhaps had judged
An over heated zeal.
His judgement may be true,
Our self we cannot see;
| look and and judge of you,
You look and judge of me.
So each one has his thought
Of what is right or wrong
And so by conscience taught
We are made weak or strong
And so | had my thoughts.
And did express my views
On gambling laws in Arkansas
And joints for selling booze.
| do not wish walk or talk
So people cannot tell
Whether delight in what is right
Or half way work for hell.
We should not wear
The name of Saint
In any place or time
And then make choice
To lift our voice
Or cast our vote for crime.
The sword of steel
Unbacked by zeal
Will never gain the fight;
Zeal is the power
In conflicts hour
The force that gains the right.
God grant US zeal
That we may feel
To fight against the bad;
| know we should
Strive for the good
Though some should count US mad.

Did Spenser Write Englishp

Thomas IL. Lounsbury. In Harpcrs Magazine.
There Is a good deal of truth in Ben
Jonsons observation that "Spenser writ
no language" He employs words no one
ever used before or since. He EMPLOYS
words IN q sense no one else has ever
given them. 1t was not however. this
disre gard Of ordinary usages TO which
Jonson was referring specifically His
condemnation, as the context shows, was
of the whole practice of attempting TO
reproduce the language of a previou. per
iod In his eyes il was clearly not prac-
ticable, and even if practicable not de-
slrab,e. The whole business OF affecting
the ancients,' as he phrased IL. was oh.
Jectionable in whatever language at.
tempted He praised Virgil for his rare
use Of Older forms and terms. He CEN
sured Lucretius for his fondness for the
rugged survivalS and revivals OF the past.
He seeks them." says Jonson, las some

better expunged and banished." AS the
greatest scholar of his time, at least
among men of letters. Jonson could not

evident attempts 70 initiate the diction
of his prede cessors and by his frequent
failure. He saw clearly then, what is far
clearer now. that the poet. while trying

Of former generation, was often using
language which had never been spoken
by men at all.

French Compromise.

From the London Globe
An amusing story of compromise IS
mentioned in a Paris contemporary. Ii
seems that the law of France requires
parents to name their children either
after the saints in the calendar or from
a parsonage in history. \ citizen of
Troyes went TO the register to inscribe
the name of his little daughter. whom he
wished to be known Marianne The
registrar adjusted his spectacles. scratched
his head and then declared il was inn
pos ssible Marianne did not comply with
either of the requirements. Finally the
matter was arranged Ia the satisfa ctipn
