VATS NOT DE STROYED

The Journal learns from U. P. Kent of Sulphur Rock, who was in town Monday, that the report ed destruction of the cattle dip- ping vats in the Charlotte and Skillet neighborhoods is all a mis- take. The information given The Journal last week that the vats had been dynamited came from a reliable citizen of the Dota neighborhood. In telling us, he spoke as if he knew what he was talking about, and the correctness of his statement was not question: ed by Us in the least. We are glad to learn, however, that the report is not true.

MISS STELLA JERNIGAN DEAD

Miss Stella Jernigan, daughter of George W. and Sallie T. Jerni- gan, was born October 1, 1874; died April 20, 1912.
 Stella was one of the brightest and at one time promised to be one of the foremost characters of the country. She readily grasped and easily appropriated and skillfully applied what she undertook in an educational way. Her mental powers were vigorous and she was quick to get the solution of the problem she was trying to solve. This marked distinction came to pass in her life before the unfortunate loss of sight came up on her. When blindness shut out the light and she could no longer

millions of instances she has been forced to become a wage earner. Now seven million women in this country are Self-supportipg. Now the women of the United States receive in wages more than $200,- 000,000 a year. Today woman IS engaged in 129 of the 131 occupa- tions of the United States. Today many of the uneroWned queens of of this nation are among the work ing girls. It is said that the busi- ness young lady makes a superior wife, because she learns to know men; she learns the value of mon- ey; she learns the art of self-sup- port, and experiences the feeling of self-respect. Woman has dig nified, purified and sweetened business life.
 "Woman's place in the world to- day is also that of a thinker, as well as that of a home-maker, bread-winner and spiritual leader. For centuries woman was depriv- ed of the rights of higher educa- tion. Not until 1880 was there in all the world an institution chart cred for the higher education of women. Now she stands in the front rank of the worlds intellec- tual leaders" :"

WHERE HONOR Is DUE

Honor to whom honor is due. :" This robs no man of his just right. The statement was pub ished in the Newport Independent and was reproduced by the Bates vile Guard that ''Rev. NJ. B. Um- sted organized the first Methodist church in Newport, building a pretty frame church on the upper corner of the same block on which the present church stands, and preached the first sermon in 1t. :" The Journal IS reliably informed that so far as Rev. Umsted organ izing the first church, the statement is true, but that the facts with re- gard to the pretty frame church" are as follows:
 In 1877 Revs. Jas. F. Jernigan Jno. H. Dye held the first revival of any note in Newport in the old Huddleston brick, and as result a goodly number were converted and joined the Methodist church. A subscription was circulated by Revs. Dye and Jernigan, and in 1878 Rev. Jernigan was pastor and collected the funds so subscribed and built the church and preach ed the first sermon in 1t. He labor ed with the other workmen, going to the woods and helping to saw, load and haul the large founda- tion blocks that were placed under the building.

HON. JOHN C.
 STROUD DEAD
Democratic Nominee For Repre- sentative Passed Away at
 His Home Sunday

Hon. Jno. C. Stroud, Democrat ie nominee for representative, died at his home in Washington town ship Sunday afternoon, after an illness of only a few days.
 A few days after close of the campaign he was attacked with something like la grippe, but the attack was not considered of a serious nature. On Thursday of last week he grew considerably worse, but 1t seems that his condi- ton was not considered dangerous until Saturday, when a message came to his daughter, Mrs. H. NJ. Sherrell, of this place summoning her to his bedside.
 He sank rapidly Saturday, Sat urday night and Sunday, until death resulted Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
 MT. Stroud was one of the coun- tvs leading citizens. He was prom inently connected with the politi- cal affairs of the county for a number of years, having repre- sented the county in the leqisla- ture three times. He was nominat- ed in the recent primary to again represent this county in the legis- lature, winning the nomination by a handsom plurality.
 He had been citizen of Wash lngton township for many years, and no man in the county was held in higher esteem by his neighbors than John C. Stroud. He was a good neighbor, a good citizen and man of exemplary habits. He was 64 years old and was q member of the Christian church. The remains were buried Monday at Bethesda.

FAVORS VOTES
 FOR WOMEN
Prominent Little Rock Minister Makes Strong Appeal For
 Equal Suffrage

Ia view of the fact that petitions are being circulated for the initia- ton of an amendment to the con- stitution of Arkansas granting the right of suffrage to women, and the fact that this question will probably be voted upon at the ap- preaching September election, the following extracts from a sermon delivered last Sunday in Little Rock by Rev. P. C. Fletcher may prove of interest to readers of The Journal. He spoke to a crowd which packed one of the largest church auditoriums in the city of Little Rock.
 He said: T believe that God in- tended that woman should be something more than the head of a nursery and the mistress of a washtub. While 1 believe that her first place is that of wife and mother, yet l believe she also should be allowed to express her opinions by means of the ballot. If 1t is true that woman's first place is that of wife and mother, is 1t not also true that mans first place is that of husband and father?
 '"To deny woman the ballot is unjust, unwise, unconstitutional and ungodly. Shall we men long CT allow our mothers, wives, sis ters and daughters to remain in the class with criminals and idiots?
 "The ballot in the hands of woman will purify politics, pro- tect our homes, insure better laws and make better wives and moth CTS.
 Already woman has become great political power. Today fif- teen million women of the world can vote. Already a million Wom- en of the United States have the right to vote in the coming gener- al election. Six of our states have given her the franchise. Twenty two countries of the world have given woman the ballot. The new Chinese republic has not only giv- en the command to unbind the women'S feet, but to also unbind her head. Woman suffrage will soon be nationwide. This is Gods world, and woman IS the pet of Gods great family. Some day she will come into possession of her own.

First Code Of the State Of Iowa.

-
An interesting phase of the legal
history of the state is the history OF
the codes of Iowa, which Mr.. Cliff
ford Powell is preparing under the
direction OF the State Historical So
ciety of Iowa. The second install
ment of Mr.. Powell's article appears
in the January number of "The Iowa
Journal of History and Politics. and
is devoted to the "Code of 1851 I'm
like the so-called codes Of the terri
torial period this code was prepared
by a special commission consisting
of Charles Mason, William G. Wood
ward and Stephen Hampstead, all men
of exceptional ability. They took the
existing statutes, classified them I'M
der appropriate headings, harmonlzed
conflicting laws, and as Mr.. Powell
says, produced "a code whose provls-
ions were simple and clear, body
of law condensed and reduced in
bulk, statute free from verbiage and
useless parts" The efficiency with
which the work was done is shown
by the fact that the Code OF 1857
remained in force until it was revised
in 1860 In 1855 large portion OF
this code was adopted as the law OF
the Territory of Nebraska.

The Indians Idea Of Thunder.

"The Thunderers are kept busy with
watching over us. The coming of
wind and the approach of clouds are
sure signs of an immediate presence
of the Thunder manitous. They grow
angry at the sight of wrong done to
us. With great effort they restrain
themselves when they behold the peo-
pie driven to an extremity, when they
behold the people enduring wrongs be.
yond all endurance. Naturally there
must be an end of this thing; it will
be on a day yet to come. The Thun-
der manitous will no longer withhold
their patience. In that day they will
crack open this earth and blow it to
pieces. Where the white man will be
hurled, no one knows, and no one
cares. After this the manitous will
then create this world anew, and put
the people back into it to live again.
In that day they will no longer be
pestered with the white man.
"The white man often gets a gentle
reminder of what he will come to if he
does not let up with his overweaning
arrogance; it's whens he beholds his
houses blown away by the wind and
struck with lightning. That he quite
fears these things is shown by the way
he takes to a hole when such danger
is in sight. He flies to it like prairie
dog; it seems quite natural to him.
"But with us it is different. When
the sky is full of wind and shooting
fire, out of the lodges we go and meet
the manitous there; to them we make
an offering of sacred tobacco, and
they are pleased" From "Notes on
the Fox Indians" by William Jones,
in the January number Of "The Iowa
Journal of History and Politics." pub

Why the Fox Indians Liked Eastern
Iowa.


"The country toward the south is
too warm in summer; the water there
is not good to drink, and the hot
winds parch the soil and the plants
that try to grow. The country at the
north is better than that the south
Game is more plentiful, and rice can
be gathered from the lakes. But the
winters are too cold. The land west
ward is too much prairie, wood is too
scarce, and water is not always to be
had. We have reason to be satisfied
with the place where we now dwell
There is not too much prairie; wood
is plentiful, of which there are many
kinds, and enough for all our needs.
Water is always good to drink. Win
tiers are never too cold, and the sum
mers are always pleasant. 1t is our
wish to dwell here always from

1t is now proposed that the rural
schools of this county should have a
brand new set of text books. We have
noticed that text book agents have
been active in this county during the
past few months and we had expected
that their activities would bear fruit.
1t may be that the schools of the coun,
ty need new text books of a later
copyright" but the expense involved
is large and it is a continuous ex'
pense. No change should be made
without serious consideration and
without the fullest opportunity for
competing companies to make show
ing without prejudice. The Des
Moines Capital pronounces that the
last book letting in Polk county was
a farce and that one company had the
matter cinched before the letting took
place. If this county is to have new
text books every action connected
Herewith should be SO open and above
board that there be no suspicion of
undue influence or favoritism.

AN EPOCH IN HISTORY.

It seems almost beyond belief that
China has awakened from the sleep of
centuries, that the yoke of the Man
chu conquerors has been thrown off
after a reign of three centuries and
that for the first time China is to be
a republic
The beginnings of Chinese history
carry us back more than four thous-
and years. The earliest date given
with any semblance of authenticity is
2197 B. c. Just think what that
means Twenty-one hundred years
before the birth of Christ. Nearly
thirty-seven hundred years before the
discovery of America. The Chinese
have never been progressive race.
They have been tied by precedent.
Laws and custome became crystallized
long before our western civilization
was dreamed of and the Chinese have
been content, for the most part, to take
the DEGREES of fate with oriental fatal
ism, each man following in the foot
steps of his ancestors without thought
of change or progress. The history OF
China is not the history of race. 1t
is simply a history of wars and in
trigues and the fate of dynasties.
The first Europeans with whom they
came in contact were the Portuguese
and their experiences with them were
were so unfortunate that they have
been prejudiced against foreigners
ever since. Coming to comparatively
modern history, from Chinese stand
point. we find that the empire was
overrun by the hordes of the Mongols
under the descendants of the great
Ghengis Khan, the Napoleon of the
Orient. The Mongol dynasty was driv-
en- from power by a revolution very
similar to the present one and the
Ming dynasty succeeded to the throne.
Later the princes of Manchu, whose
early home was in Manchuria to the
north of China, overwhelmed the
native Ming dynasty and for several
centuries they have held dominion
over the Chinese. The Manchus are
not Chinese and the country has felt
that it was under the yoke of con-
quest. The queque was early a badge
of submission, the Manchu conquerOr
spared the lives of those who shaved
their heads, otherwise he shaved their
heads for them, making one clean cut,
below the ears. The Chinese empire
is possessed of immense resources, it
can become one of the ruling factors
of the world. But it's people have
thus far shown but little capacity for
government and none at all for self
government. 1t is interesting to know
that we have witnessed, even from
afar, one OF the great epochs in the
history of this strange and peculiar
people. Verify it has been given to
the people of this century to see many
strange things. The idea of the air
ship is no more novel than the idea
of a Chinese republic.
