GREAT LACK OF THOUGHT
People of Today Need to do More
Serious Thinking

Editor The journal: There
seems to be, of late, not only
among the young, but among the
middle-aged, and we might say
among the aged, as we'll, great
lack of thought.
How few of US take time to
think, and have fixed principles
upon which to act at all times.
How few of us observe and put
into practice the sensible old ad-
age which admonishes US to think
twice before we speak or act once.
Were this adage universally put
into practice, we would have such
Il revolution as the world has never
witnessed. Vice, crime, prostitu-
ton, drunkenness and sin would
be banished from our land, and
the bright beams of peace, truth,
love and righteousness would burst
forth with such refulgent splendor
and brightness that it would dis
pell all darkness and gloom, and
cleanse not only our individual
lives, but our homes, our commu-
mites, our nation, and, in fact, the
whole world. Then we would
have fore-t taste of Heaven on
earth, Our daily song would be,
Glory to God on High, Peace on
Earth and Good viii to All Man
kind. " Our lives would then be
governed by the Golden Rule.
Remember that thought begets
an interest, interest is the main
spring of action; action leads to
reformation; reformation leads to
new life, and a new life means
happiness here and hereafter.
Therefore let me beseeeh all per-
sons, both old and young, to try
to acquire the habit of thinking
and bordering we'll before acting
upon any matter. Reason from
cause to effect, and consider what
the results might be. remembering
to look at all phases of the matter.
Do this and see if your life is not
bettered by the effort.
Reader, whoever you may be,
let me ask you earnestly to con-
slider this matter with a thoughtful
and prayerful heart, and at this
moment commence a new system
of thinking. And try to get in
terested in your own welfare, as
we'll as that of your friends, and
the welfare of the world in gen.
eral. JOSIAH MARTIN.

WHOSE HORSES THE BEST?

The state tax commission has
prepared some very valuable data
showing how assessments on the
same class of property vary in the
various counties of the state. The
item of horses and mules was TAX
en- and averaged for the seventy
five counties, on the basis of the
1907 assessment. The results show
that in some counties the assess
ment is three times as high as in
others.
In Pulaski county, for instance,
the assessment on horses was S25
each, while in ST. Francis county
the assessment was sol per head.
In Benton county horses were as
sessed at $29 per head; in Faulkner
county at $50. Other counties
ranged between the S25 and $91
extremes, many of them hanging
around $50, and very few running
over $50. The independence

ELECTION IN BLACK RIVER
Full Set of Township Officers to
be Chosen in Special Election

The special election to be held
next Thursday, July /, promises
to be of unusual interest in Black
River township.
The recent division of that town
ship and the creation of Dota
from the western portion of the
township, left Black River with
out single township officer, all of
the officers elected last September
living west of the dividing line,
and were cut off in Dota town
ship, where they will serve out
their terms, as elected.
Road building is matter that
is very properly being agitated
now in the campaign in Black
River township, and The journal
is glad to see the people becoming
interested in this very important
question. We were favorably inn
pressed with card which w. n.
Osborne, one of the candidates for
road oyerseer, is circulating; from
which we publish the following,
because it is to the point and
brings out an idea that is yet new
to many people in this section. He
says; An equal distribution of
money and labor throughout the
township. Your money spent
working the roads, not riding over
them. A good road is near
road. Get nearer the markets by
having good roads. "
1t seems that great many PEG
pie have not yet learned, or else
do not appreciate the fact that "A
good road is near road, " and
that good roads shorten the dist.
anee to market, and are not half
so hard on the teams, the wagons
and other vehicles. Not only this,
but good roads also enhance the
value of all farm property and add
materially to the comforts and
pleasures of farm life.
The man who is looking for
home will pay considerably more
for 100 acre farm situated on or
convenient to a good road leading
to market than he would pay for
farm of like size and improve
ments where he had no road to
market.
Arkansas needs great state
wide road building campaign, and
The Journal hopes Mr.. Osborne
will inject enough spice into the
situation in his township to get
the people thoroughly aroused to
the importance of good roads.
George Witt is making the race
for constable, and Jesse l.. Nc
Daniel for justice of the peace.
We have not been informed who
the other candidates are, if any.

WILL PUSH INVESTIGATION
Miners Receive Reports Which Give
Basis for Action.

Cherry, I'LL, Nov. 22.-The indepen-
dent investigation of the disaster by
the Mine Workers of America, has re-
ceived impetus. At closed confer
ence of the state and local officers OF
the miners organization reports were
received from union men who have
been doing rescue work in the rhine.
Our inquiries have had such results
that we are preparing to push this in
vestigation to the limit said President
Mcdonald. I'VE believed we had good
basis for action when we started, and
we are sure of 1t now. Of course we
cannot go as fast as we would like to
until the mine is fully opened up. But
the coming out of live men from the
mine will be a great help"
The Chicago Federation of Labor
voted to assist the United States Mine
Workers of Illinois in an investigation
of the Cherry mine disaster. A con-
certed effort will be made to learn If
there. was negligence in the manage
ment and operation of the mine.
