WORDS THOU0HTLESS AND
UNJUST

A letter was recently received in
Mena in which it was related that a
wife of a well known Mena business
man, visiting a city many miles away,
told Sin doleful tones how very
dead Mena really is"
The comment that followed reads
like this: 20, she is good CD
booster for her home town. One
would think to hear her talk awhile
that Mena was so dead that even
dog fennei lpoald nor gyow.
Now. it is not just pleasant to
mention such things as coming from
woman just somehow does not
seem chivalrous but lift was man
what flow of language the sub
ject would call forth. Such talk as
quoted viii depreciate the value of
that woman's home, make it harder
to sell il she wants to sell it, injure
her husbands business and perhaps
cut off the revenue that enables her
to make these long journeys Of
pleasure. Like bird of i'll omen,
such a person goes about driving
people away from the good city that
affords her q home and her husband
a means of livelihood.

A CHANGE FOR THE STAR.

The Star has for some weeks been
preparing for a new dress, and ex-
pected to have it ready for the
celebration of Easter. Sometimes,
however, even freight trains move
with surprising alacrity. and now it
looks as though the new costume
will be quite familiar to Star read
ers by that day of lilies and new
millinery.
In short, the new Standard Limo
type. Model No. 5, the latest and
best machine known in the world
for putting thought into the form
necessary for printing, has arrived,
and is being set up for operation. 1t
was shipped from the factory in
New York on March I'd, having
made the long journey in just ten
days nearly ten days quicker than
anticipated.
When this new machine is fully
assembled and adjusted, it will, with
an experienced operator. "set" in
an 8 or 10 hour run all the reading
matter and portions of the adver-
tisements printed in the daily
edition of The Star. 1t will greatly
facilitate the work of preparing the
paper. will make possible a much
wider selection of matter of al
kinds that goes to make up the pub
LEGATION, and, its proprietors hope
enable them to render Star readers
a better. broader service than ever
before.
In connection with the installation
of this new equipment it is expected
that good many changes will be
made in the style and contents Of
The Star. Some that are planned
may not prove to be all that is ex
pected of them-blt in the fina
adjustment-if there is such a thing
in a newspapers career-it is hoped
that the vote of Star readers will bt
nearly or quite unanimous that The
effort was worth the while.
With this desirable end in view, i
is to be hoped that any temporal,
shortcomings occasioned by the in
novation may be forgiven. Weir,

would discourage treating, blinds ana
screens or eiIded places. would pre-
vent sale to children or drunkards'
and If the government employe
violated the rules he would lose his
job and be otherwise punished. AS
there would be no profit in it, there
would be no distiIleiy or brewery in
terests fighting for the traffic. There
would be no organized body Of men
who had any interest. whether the
traffic was large or small, ana the
people would make such laws and
regulations as they wished wlthout
distractions. This system has been
tried in Gothenbere, Sweden, and the
results in thirty years has been the
almost wiping out of the traffic, yet
the price is only about one-ilith OF
what it was under the private proflt
system. In these same thirty years,
under the private incentive system
we have, the traffic has tremen-
duously increased. and its injuries
have multiplied many times.
Had the government taken over the
tarfiic and made ii a public monopoly
thirty years ago, there would be no
liquor problem today to aeltate the
people. Socialize the.traffic and its
evils will rapidly disappear. Today.
all the incentive is to do wrong be-
cause there is profit in it. But
when it becomes a public monopoly,
there will be no profit in it for any
one, no matter how much or how lit
tie is used. Lead us not into tempta-
ton but deliver us from evil means
to remove the temptation. Do that
and you cleanup the race. Not the
one who have become addicted. but
we can save the next generation.
Just think Of that 80 year bill, born in
Democratic(Y) legislature. Oh yes
let the people rule, and more especial
ly the people that represent us in the
legislature. Talk of a popular govern
ment, OF course we have it.

In this progressive age, in our pub
lie shoots, as elsewhere. it seems to
me that parents do not take as much
interest in their childrens special
talents as they should. often hear
men joke about the lack of talent in
their boys. II boy does not find his
own talent it is, in most cases, never
found. The discomfort of being odd
drives necessary energy out of many
a gifted younster' S will. All men of
historical renown have, by special
effort along lines unused by other
men, achieved success in life. This
harmonious fitting of oneself to pre-
vailing conditions molds the char
acter and stamps on the pages of
accomplishment the deeds of true
individuaLsm. With all the knowledge
of physiognomy attainable a man may
fail to exert the right influence upon
child; thus it is clear that much is
left to the individual child to choose
for himself the much needed environs.
This choosing of surroundings. if
cleverly made, proves vital point in
the destiny of the chooser.
Since the worth of all men is the
good done during life, it should be the
sacred duty Of every parent to direct
and cooperate with child's instruc-
tors in the direction Of said child to
right and prudent ends. While ethics
are essential. they are not absolutely
so. 1t is my opinion that there would
be fewer insists in the world if
parents and teachers in our public
schools would be more considerate OF
each others aims in the development
of the young minds.

Anyhow, if your man is not elected

trees will not cease to put on their

every man had his will in every
thing, his every wish gratified.
Therefore. come what may, re-

out your hand to aid the ones upon
which the mantle of success to-
gether with responsibility and bur-

Give praise where praise is due.
Forgive error, for it might be you.
1t is so trite, so true, that per-
lection is yet unknown, and that
life on earth is but at at best a short
period in which but little of the
lesson Of eternity may be learned.
Then make the best of today and
its lessons--both victors and van
quished. 1t is but a trifie in ex-
istence of either, and if the victors
make not for the greater good, they
simply have failed, and they alone

Rational Brevities.

The wages of willful wrong doing
are always forthcoming in the shape
Of pain,
1t is far more commendable to
acknowledge and correct mistakes
than to boast of perfection.
Never condemn another on ac-
count of occasional fault--we all
make wrong steps sometimes.
Earnest activity, when all sur
roundings are the evidence of an
heroic spirit. The real hero doesn't
wait for favorable conditions.
A real force of character implant-
ed in man may lie dormant for a
time but will burst out with renewed
vitality often time most unexpect-
ed.
Voluntary, unsolicited conspic-
uousness on public occasions is often
an evidence of unfaithfulness in the
ordinary duties of life-an effort to
balance up.
As the beauties Of the season
spring up spontaneously, so let the
beauty of love and cheerfulness
burst forth in our lives every day
to encourage others.
Human affairs are necessarily in
terspersed with difficulties, problems
and circumstances that must be
overcome. Cooperation is the only
sure remedy, and if we are void Of
the public spirit of cooperation we
are hindrance to progress.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS.

Mena long has been favored
trading place for thousands of peo-
pie around, it being a common thing
for buyers to drive overland dis
tances ranging from twenty to fifty
miles to take advantage Of the fav-
orable prices given by our mer-
chants.
But trade that would and should
come over the railroad has been
badly restricted heretofore because
of the inconvenience in the running
of trains. especially from the south.
This rich field, by the change in
train service that went into effect
this week, is thrown open to Mena
as never before. Now people living
south of Mena can get on the Travel
er in the morning, spend the day
here, and return home either in the
middle Of the afternoon or late in
Tie udy.
A well directed effort on the part
of our business men to attract the
patronage of the people brought in
easy reach by this change will bring
most desirable results. To place be-
fore them the attractive prices that
they can expect. fair treatment and
showing from the large, fine stores
and stocks from which to select, and
the work is done.
Why not organize a monthly or
semi-monthly Trade Day, when
special attractions could be provided,
such as coed music. baseball game
and like features? 1t would be a
winner.
