ARKANSAS CONDITION
J.L. Brown, of Charlotte) ]

U. L. Brown, of Charlottel In good old days of long ago, Before we sang the the song of Joe, The one who's gone wrong you know
 We people had State. We thought her law so plain, you
 know,
 We thought we held the reins, you
 know,
 But that thought was vain, you know
 It is not so, of late. For since the days of Turning Joe, old Freedoms lamps been burning
 low;
 The people have been learning SO
 That Joe T. lives for self. His pockets good-his highest aim He'll stoop to any sort of game, Without blush or thought of shame,
 To gather in the pelf. The people now have losg their will, The ballot box is dead and still, And Joe T. runs the legal mill
 To give the State her rule. He gives his folks the place, just so, A shame and disgrace to Joe, But Joe T. won the race, you know
 And Joe T. is no fool. The people thought they had law, For to govern Arkansas, But it seems there was faw-
 As late events have told them When Tricky Joe went from his seat, Out through this flaw he did retreat, And left upon the Governors seat
 His kinsman, Mr. oldham. Six years Joe T. will hold his place, Tho not in honor, but disgrace; His name the state will then erase,
 For Arkansas will tell him That it is her chief delight, As freemen in ballot fight, To vote a dead dog out of sight
 So far you cannot smell him. You'd better be wand ring tramp, Who with the farmers cattle camp, Upon the barn floor, dark and damp, To get up soon or later; Than to hold an official seat, Gained by trickery and deceit, When everybody that you meet,
 Will know you as traitor.

Summarizing in a baragraph some of the advantages of good roads, set of resolutions adopted by an Illinois Good Road Associa- ton says: Improved roads means better schools and longer attend ance, better health and quicker transportation, better farms and more cultivated land, better crops and cheaper transportation, better economic conditions and more producers, better social conditions and less isolation, better church attendance and better citizens, better postal service and closer friends, better and more consum- CTS, better industries and more employment and a better state. , These are all things quite worth while. Good roads cost money but the returns compensate for the expenditure.

Man is master of his own des- tiny and he but acknowledges his own weakness when he attributes to luck what comes from miscon- duct or bad management. The treatment he gets from his fellows IS, as a rule, of the kind he has giv- en. The health he has is to a great extent product of his en- vironmentS and his care of him. self. His success or failure in his vocation is due to the observance of natural laws or the lack of ob- servance of them. It IS not luck but self that each of us is depen- dent upon for our success and happiness, for we are not dealing with chance but with law invinci- ble and unchangeable.

It is unfortunate, but true, that in almost any town there are peo, pie who rarely speak a commend. atory word about the town in which they live. A word of com mendation at the right time may be a great benefit to the town, while disparaging word may have the opposite effect. Those old pessismists who are always hunting for the dark spots-and almost every town has a few such should turn about face, put their shoulder to the wheel and help push, instead of standing in
 the rear and pulling back in an ef- fort to stop the wheels of progress.

The town election is over. Let's bury the hatchet, forget it and be friends. If everybody will join hands and put half as much en- thusiasm into a permanent move ment for bigger and better New ark as was put into the election, we will have a much better town. And, really, is there any reason why we cannot do so?

THE TOWN ELECTION

There should be no bitterness or ill-feelings cherished by any one over the recent city election. For keen interest and rivalry be- tween friends of the various can- didates, 1t probably surpassed any election ever held in Newark, but 1t was clean, open-handed fight, and The Journal does not believe that any dirty politics was played or unfair advantages taken by anyone. It is no bad omen to see the people take a keen interest in matters that effect the public well fare. The community in which all the people take an active part in public affairs is usually q pro- gressive community, and 1t shows a healthy public sentiment. The only thing to guard against is the Gthe springing up of petty ani-
 Gsities, which, If nursed, grow
 grow until they become
 ace to neighborlness and
 lgtellowship among those who
 - Id be friends. But we see no .IiIications of such conditions and The Journal merely drops these thoughts because 1t is we'll for all of us to occasionally think a little along these lines. Be 1t said to their credit, the people of Newark, regardless of their atti- tude in these little local scraps, are
 70 broad-guaged to allow matters this kind to affect their high Grsonal regard and their friend ]. .lin foi u tssi.ein neighbors. It is good to live among such people.

Lawson's Bulldog Takes
Premier HonOrs at Show

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Dreamwold
Irish Boy, the property Of the Law
son family, carried off premier honors
yesterday at the annual open show
of the Bulldog Club of America, at
the New Grand Central Palace
Thomas w. Lawson, jr., who benched
the animals shown by the kennels,
was probably the most surprised ex-
hibitor in the palace when the award
was made, as he admitted that Com
panion Dreamwold Centaur, another
of his exhibits, was a far superior
dog to the one accorded the position
of champion of the show.
Centaur had been set back earlier
in the exhibition, when Daniel p.
Ritchey's Bertie's Best was placed
over him In the open class for dogs
under forty-five pounds, which pre-
cluded any chance of Centaur being
entared <ee the winners division.

that the Oriental would have beaten

but not enough to do any harm. Just
the same. though, the clubs in the
International League win not have a
bed of roses next season, by any
means.
Charley Ebbets is a wise old fox
He has keen business instinct. and
he would very likely have disposed
of his baseball holdings In this city
long before this but for his false
friend Solomon When Ebbets first
began talk of the sale of the Newark
club he knew what he was doing, but
he didn't let Solomon know any of
his signals. Instead of remaining
quiet and waiting until the play came
up to him, Solomon, figuratively.

doesn't know what to do. Those who
led him into disfavor have given him
the go-by His name isn't in his ia
vorite paper any more. and nothing
much is being said of him. He has
been dumped by those whom he did
his best to befriend, and the very
same treatment will be in store for
p. Powers, the manager of the six
day bunk, when he has been beaten
to a FRAGILE We criticized Solomon.
and he rushed to another local paper
for sympathy. He got it then, but
later, when both the paper and Solo,
mon were beaten. George got 1t in
the neck. We told p. Powers where
there was another rush on. We do
rot know whether the paper rushed
to Powers OF whether Powers rushed
to the paper. AS between the two
the paper did the rushing. Soon
Powers. like Solomon, viii be in the
discard, and, like Solomon, be
dropped from the I'm High Favor"
list. That's the way it goes these
days. and it goes that way no matter
what you do.
G
Reformer Powersl We hope it is so,
for If anything in this wide world
needs reformation it is that New York
six-day race And beauty of 1t all.
Powers is just the one who knows
how rotten the grind has been, for
he has been its promoter and he Is
the one who should be able to make
a good, clean sport out of 1t. In years
gone by, Powers conducted the race
for his own personal gain, and per-
haps. as he admits. he was a little
careless in the way he handled the
affair. But he made money and that.
of course, was sufficient consolation
for the "Rotund P" Now the prop
ostion is a different thing entirely.
Powers is going to run the race, but
Inglis M. Uppercu is furnishing the
money, so Powers naturally feels
that he can afford to take a chance
of doing most any old thing with the
grind Mr.. Uppercu has been a great
sport for the cyclists, but it looks as
Ii he was going to be even more
than a sport in the New York six
dav race. The way Powers is blow
ing his horn it looks as IL he was
about to assume complete control of
the game. He is going to change all
the rules and build track in New
York. and he may allow Messrs Min
lon and Uppercu to hold sideshow
over here in Newark. Powers is
known to be considerate in such
things.
