DEFENDERS OF RIGHT

\ man prominent in public life in Illinois made the following declara- tion in a recent public speech on "Good Government
 "I am especially anxious to empha- size deeply the importance of support ing local newspaper enterprises, and of rewaraing adequately the work done by the local editor. You cannot keep this country in order, you cannot regulate or keep down its finely organ ized rasa8 itY, unless you have in every little town, ana if possible in every little village, the local editor, who is a moral policeman, using pub licity as his club.
 eff you kill the local editor by neg leeting his advertising columns, you deprive the locality and the country at large of tie most important feature Of public defense and good govern ment. You harm the community, as you would harm the farmers if you went systematically to work starving their watch dogs to death.
 The local editors are the watch dogs of the local neighborhood, and in addition to that they are the real defenders of the public; they do a wofk that handful of metropolitan newspapers cannot pretend to do.
 Fortunately, they give you good return, the best return of your adver- Using investment, when you advertise with them wisely, and they will grow in power and prosperity with the growth of intelligent advertising.

GET 4 HOME OF YOUR OWN

Every laboring poor man should buy himself small tract of land, if no more than an acre, or even a town lot, if he can't buy any more, and go to work to build himself a home, even if he can build nothing but a two- room house. Work and economize and get that paid for, and then work to make the necessary improvements.
 A little here and little there will in due time, produce you home of your own and place you out of the landlord $ grasp.
 Fifty dollars a year saved in rent and the money it costs you to move and shift around and the loss of time and furniture, will pay the interest on a five hundred dollar mortgage On a home and enough over to enable you to gradually reduce the debt to noth- ing.
 Any man can buy a modest home inzthis way. Why not risk it? If you fail you are no worse off; and if you succeed-as any careful man is sure to do-you have gained a home and made a good start toward putting yourself in comfortable circumstances.

Editor 0. F. Craig has again resum- ed publication of The Newark Journal, after suspension of several months, and a copy of that paper is now before us, as bright and as newsy as ever. Bro. Craig is one of the best news paper men in North Arkansas and we gladly welcome The Journal back on our exchange list. Newark is too good a town to be without a newspaper and Craig is too good an editor for Newark to give up.-Pocahontas Star Herald

 A sad-faced editor, with fringes on the bottom of his trousers, and the wind signing mournfully through his whiskers, sat in his sanctum thinking. Presently shadow fell across the room and a shrill voice demanded to know if he was the editor. "Yes sir, , said he with look of alarm. The owner of the voice mopped the floor with the editor and went his way. Thank heaven! exclaimed the editor after he had gathered together the wreck of his former self and had strengthened up the furniture, slife is still worth living: I expected he would tell me to stop his paper.

A number of young girls at Beaver vile, Ind, have formed a league to promote refinement among young men and, among other things, have resolv- ed to marry no man who drinks, smoke or chews and who does not take the home paper. Drinking is considered the chief evil, smoking and chewing come next, while the young women assert that when a man does not take the home paper it is evidence of want of intelligence and that he will prove too stingy to provide for a family, educate his children and en- courage institutions of learning in the community

LOCAL PAPER TN THE HOME

The local newspaper should be found in every home. No child will grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is the stepping stone of intelligence in all those matters not to be learned in books.
 Give your children a foreign paper which contains nothing about any per son, place or thing which they ever saw or perhaps ever heard of, and how can you expect them to be inter- ested?
 But let them have the home paper and read of persons whom they know and of places with which they are fla miliar, and soon an interest is awak- ened which increases with every week ly arrival of the home paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed, and those children will read the papers all their lives and become intelligent and we'll posted men and women, credit to their ancestors, and strong in their knowledge of the ways of the world.

Whether in city or country, housed in it's own magnificent building, or pining in a delapidated mountain shack, with thousands of children, or with barely a bakers dozen, the Sunday school is today considered the strategic center of the great church militant. The Sunday schools of the United States alone are attended by about Il, ,50o, 900 pupils and 1,5oo, ,ooo teachers. Given a voice in affairs of church or state, this would represent no mean influence. The latest statis- tics of the Sunday schools of the world show ?, 738, 323 little Christians work ing their way through the grades of Bible study, learning the needs of the mission field and being graduted into church membership.

Encourage your boy to enter the corn growing contest. The boy who engages in a contest of this kind, whether successful or not, gains prac- tical training of great value to him. He is led to work and think and apply knowledge to the practical affairs of life, thus giving him start toward developing into manhood and sterling citizenship and learning the real nobility of toll.

A good country road is always to be desired and is a source of comfort and convenience to every traveller. Good roads attract population, as well as good schools and churches Good roads improve the value of the proper ty, so that 1t is said a farm lying five miles from market, connected by bad road is of less value than an equally good farm lying ten miles away from market connected by good road. A larger load can be drawn by one horse over good road than by two over a bad one.

A man over in Sharp county is agi- tating a movement to cut off a section of that county known as "Wild Cat Cornera and attach it to Independence county. That's all right, we are all ways glad to welcome new corners, but if Wild Cat Corner wants to get a divorce from Sharp county and come into Gods country, we shall in- sist on her changing her name.

Society must protect itself, and can do nothing more effective than to ostraeize those who violate the laws Of good conduct. Every man owes it to himself and to the world to conduct himself honorably; and when this is not required, the community is not dealing justly with itself nor the of lenders, and is placing a premium on misconduct.
