HARD FARMER SAYS
 DIPPING HELP CATTLE
Prominent Cattle Man of La Cross Gives His Unqualified
 Endorsement to Work

The following letter written to Dr. C. F. Maynard of Batesville by G. W. Battles, a good citizen of Iz- ard county, with regard to dipping cattle, may be of interest to our readers. The letter follows.
 Having been asked many ques- tions by people of Sharp and Inde- pendence counties in regard to dip ping cattle for the destruction of the fever tick, l will give my ex- perience in a few words.
 During the month of August, 1911, number of citizens of La Cross township decided to build dipping vat and dip our cattle, as they had begun to die, as they have been doing for several years. A great many people said it twould kill the cattle, and the skin would come off of those 1t did not kill, and the milch cows would all go dry at once, and others said that the cattle dipped in that solution would go blind, and some thought that the dive would kill or cripple at least half that were made jump off into the vat Well, we built the vat, complied with the government instructions as nearly as we could, and began to dip. Crowds came to see the awful cruel act of dipping old Pide and the the little innocent calves. Whole families came, from father to the babies. The signal was given and a scrubby two year old steer was pushed into the vat. As he disappeared under the water some one were heard to remark, T told you so." But his horns soon came in sight and he made his way up the western slope of the vat with no signs of blood and no broken bones.
 The fact is that we dipped some three hundred head of cattle, and some of them three or four times during the summer and fall. We also dipped horses, hogs and even dogs and l will say that watched with care and if anything that was dipped suffered any inconvenience whatever l failed to find it out. The fact is 1t removed the ticks and materially improved the con- dition of all the animals that were dipped. It renewed the hair and general appearance and for sever al days afterwards they would have perfect rest from flies and

ACTIVE FOR ROOSEVELT

Little Rock, July 2.-W. s. Holt and other Roosevelt leaders in Ar kansas are preparing the call for a state convention, to meet in Little Rock some time this month, to ef- feet an organization. MT. Holt is in receipt of a large number of letters from prominent Republicans in all sections of the state informing him that they will join the new move ment for a third party. The move ment will take definite shape, MT. Holt says, immediately after the Baltimore convention.

road as this through Newark would mean wonderful growth and development for Newark and surrounding country.
 The promoters of the road have been asked for a definite proposi- tion with regard to running the line through Newark and The Journal hopes to have something more tangible to report in the near future.
 Col. Wiley's recent letter follows:
 Minneapolis, Minn., June 24. MT. o. F. Craig, Newark, Ark.
 Dear Sir:-Since writing you on May 1st, we now have our first party in the field in Northern Iowa. They have made good pro- gress since May 18th on permanent survey and we willbegin to receive maps and profles showing the cost of construction this week, and 1 am incorporating the Italian American Construction Company to build the road from Iowa to Baton Rouge.
 Am putting a second party on location between Rosemont and LeRoy, Minnesota, next week, and am incorporating the Scandenav- ian-American Construction Com pany, to build the line north of Iowa.
 am putting third party on location in central Iowa, in a short time So that ycu will see that we are making good progress on this end of the road.
 have now fully decided to change the route in Southern Mis- souri, and northern Arkansas, and l am now submitting a contract to Hardy, Ark, and Alton, Mo-, with a view to putting two parties down there. We will run south from Hardy crossing white River near your place, and not cross Black river at all.
 There is a strong element at work to swing the line west, but if 1 get the support that 1 expect, we will run due south from Hardy, and go through Newark.
 Trusting that may hear from you at an early date, and if there are any questions you wish to have answered, l would be glad to do SO.
 Yours very truly,

BIG RAILROAD IS
 HEADED THIS WAY
North and South Line From Cam ada to Gulf of Mexico Hay
 Build Through Newark

Present indications are that Newark may get one of the biggest railroads in the country.
 There IS plan being formulat- ed to build a north and south rail- road from Winnipeg, Can., to Port Fades, on the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is proposed to make the road a direct air line as far as practical.
 Learning that the proposed route would bring the road some where through this immediate section, the editor of The Journal took up the matter with the pro- moters early last spring in an eff fort to get the line through New ark. At that time little could be learned of the intentions of the promoters, so far as the route through this section was concern ed, and no publicity was given the matter But the promoters prom ised to give Newark a hearing. A few days ago the following letter was received from Col. Jno. NJ. Wiley, chief engineer in charge of the work.
 Of course the road may or 1t may not be built. It IS the big gest thing in railroad building now before the country, but 1t is en- tirely feasible and practical. There are a number of transcontinental lines east and west, but none north and south. The opening of the Panama Canal will increase the de- mand for such a road, and trayers- ing, as 1t will, the heart of the richest agricultural section of the United States, the construction of such a road does not seem at all improbable. The Little Rock Board of Trade seems to have con- fdence in the proposition and is negotiating with the promoters to bring the line through Little Rock.
 It will be noted from MT. Wi ley's letter that no definite prom ises are made, and he has as yet submitted no proposition to the people of Newark, but seems in- clined to favor our section, and The Journal is confident that our people will readily and cheerfully meet any reasonable demands that may be made by the promoters of the road. In fact, we cannot af- ford to let this road miss our town if it comes through this section. The loss of this road, If it comes anywhere near us, would mean the ruin of Newark, while, on the other hand, the securing of such a

THE STATE IS IN
 FINANCIAL STRAITS
If People Kill the T. J. Bill Tax Levy Must be Increased or
 Bonds Issued

There is much speculation as to the course Gov. Donaghey will pursue in regard to the T. J. bill in the ensuing campaign. As is well known, he announced that he would stand or fall with the bill,'. and 1t is also a historic fact that his fall was most tremendous. Since the election he has made no statement concerning his favorite measure for the revision of the taxation system, and has declined, at this time, to state his position.
 That there will be advocates of the measure, however, is certain. One of its authors, Senator Charlie Jacobson of Little Rock, has an- nounced that he will make several speeches in favor of the measure which is now being printed in ev- cry county of the state. He con- tends that the act is misunder- stood or wiIfully misinterpreted by its opponents, and that it IS a most important act for an equitable ad- justment of the assessments and tax rates of the state; also, that 1t will shift the burden of taxation from the poor man to the rich cor porations where 1t justly belongs.
 It is admitted by all that Gov. Robinson will find himself con- fronted with a most serious prob- lem when he assumes the gover- nor's chair. He will have not only a depleted treasury but a deficit of anything up toa million dollars. A loan to cover the deficit and an in- crease in the tax rate are plans tentatively proposed to meet the situation.
 It cannot be denied that all the trouble began when Gov. Jeff Davis brought about reduction of the general revenue rate from 2 1-2 mills to 1 3-4 mills, and there by gained the approval of thous- ands for his interest in behalf of the people. The people saved a few dollars in taxes, but the state has been getting deeper in debt every year since then, until now its finances are in a most deplor- able condition. Even Gov. Dona- ghey's sweeping vetoes of appro- priations, many of them most im- portant could not save the state from getting on scrip basis for the first time since the war. But when Gov. Robinson attempts to

WILSON MARSHAL
 DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Bryan Wins Great Victory in Se- curing Wilson's Nomination
 and Formulating Platform

For President Governor Wood row Wilson of New Jersey.
 For Vice President-Gov. Thos. K. Marshall of Indiana.
 This was the ticket completed by the Democratic national con- vention at 1::56 o'clock Wednesday morning.
 The nomination of Governor Marshall for vice president came partially as a surprise, for when the nights balloting for vice pres ident began it seemed that the Bryan-Wilson contingent in the convention had settled definitely upon Gov. John E. Burke of North Dakota.
 There was not much of fight, however, and when two ballots disclosed Marshall easily in the lead Governor Burke's name was withdrawn and Marshall was proclaimed the nominee by acclam- ation. A minute later the conven- ton had adjourned sine die.
 Governor Wilson was nominated at the afternoon session Wednes- day on the forty-sixth ballot and his nomination was quickly made unanimous.
 MT. Bryan had announced his intention of introducing a resolu- ton in effect diseharging the Ma tional Committe from the conduct of the coming campaign and allow ing Governor Wilson to appoint his own campaign committe. He was dissuaded from this course, and instead of making a move that might have stirred up strife, he made a little speech which he termed his "valedictory" and in happy mood turned over the man. tie of his former leadership as a presidential candidate to Governor Wilson.
 The last three ballots were as follows:
