ALExANDER'S QUALIFICATIONS GOOD
Wide Experience Rugged Honesty and Unlimited
 Help Qualify Him For Legislative Position

The following complimentary mention of our fellowtownslnan, J. K. Alexander, who is candi- date for representative, appeared in the Batesville Guard last week:
 J. R. Alexander, the subject of this sketch, spent large part of his boy hood days in this state, and has not lived out of the state for 12 years; he is more than a native. Records at Batesville show that his father, Dr. John Alexander, and his mother, a member of one of the pioneer families of the state, married in this county in 1886. He left this county in the year 1867, but returned and located at Newark seven years ago, from liar risburg, Ark, where sickness of his family broke him financially, When he landed in Newark he was broke and had to start anew, and since he has been there, besides supporting a large family and keeping his children in school, he has acquired home and other property in Newark, aggregat- ing about $2,000, which shows him to be a man of sober, industrious and economical habits. His taxes being over $40 year is burdensome enough to make him feel the necessity of re- dueing the taxes; a man must pay taxes a few years himself to under stand the burden of taxes. His par ents died when he was years old, and he was bound out by law to the administrator of his fathers estate, who gobbled up the estate and used him as a servant till he became IS years old. At this age, unable to read or write, without money or home, he went to work to earn money to go to school on. He worked on a farm, at a sawmill, in the timber, on the river, porter at hotel, in a gen. eral store, doing any kind of work lldt HS SoulO BSG IO CaAl hiOliCy bo go to school on. Finally he got license to teach school, and he taught off and on for IS years, working at other kinds of work during vacation to fin ish his education. He was county ex- aminer for six years. He read law at spare times, and at nights while he was teaching school He was raised on farm, but in order to be employ ed all the time he was forced to work at many different kinds of employ ment, which has given him a general knowledge of all the common walks of life; he knows the needs and de- sires, and has felt all the pangs, pleasures and disappointments of the great common people, which make him truly representative of the peo- pie.
 He has gained several important land suits for minors, widows, and other poor people since he has been practicing law at Newark, taking his pay in part of what he gained, and thereby helped poor people to get their land and justice in the courts. He has defended many poor persons

charged with penitentiary offenses| who were unable to pay lawyer, in many of these cases being appointed by the court, and had to serve with out pay, but he worked as though he were getting full pay, and not more than one out of a dozen poor persons he has defended werep roven guilty and convicted. This shows how faith full he is to a trust imposed upon him even when serving without pay.
 He has handled thousands of dol lars of other peoples money, without bond, every year since he has been at Newark, and he has in every instance paid over every cent to the person to whom 1t belonged, which proves his unquestionable honesty. His clients are his friends and among his strong est supporters, which indicates he is fair with the people he deals with.
 If he has any enemies they are some of the people whom he had to sue at law to make them give up land that belonged to some minor, widow or other poor person. He is learned in law and in the science of political economy, and says that no man should look upon the office of Representative as a business to make living at, but should be considered rather as suit at law for the people at the bar of the legislature, which should be dis posed of in a few weeks at most That 60-day session of the legisla- ture is long enough, and he is circu- lating a petition among the people to amend the constitution so as to stop the pay of the legislators after the first 50 days. He says, Let the peo- pie rule; they have a right and are competent to vote on prohibition, or any other question, and 1t is treason to his constituency for representa- tive not to enact the expressed will of the people, or to fail to try to enact the policies he is elected on; that so many special acts of the leg isalture are wrong, and in open viola tion to the constitution of the state; they cause enormous needless expense and prevent much needed general leg islation; they are undermining the principles of our democratic govern ment; that because of them the state is no longer governed by general laws, but by special acts, or ediets from a gang called the legislature, and might as well be governed by a king; that when the people reduce the term of the legislature it will in turn reduce the taxes by cutting down the expenses and salaries.
 His religion consists in a belief of a Supreme being, the Commandments and the teaching of Christ, and thinks every man should worship God ae- cording to the dictates of his own heart. He is raising several sons and daughters to be good, moral citizens of Arkansas. He believes in a gov ernment of the people, by the people, 1 for the people, and not in govern ment by the gang for the offices; that l a public office is a public trust and not a political snap for the benefit of some aspiring young man. 1 That the people are the master and 1 the officer the servant, and not boss. | His good character, ability and ex- perience makes him very competent l man for the office of representative. for which he is a candidate.
