You may be as pure

your worth. You may be as pure
as can be, but your actions are
liable to cause you to be under

ant than to see a young lady act
rude and fast. Remember that
honor is more priceless to girl

THE TOWNS
REPRESENTATIVE

Have you ever thought how
thoroughly representative a news
paper is of its home town?
A newspaper is the only home
institution that travels around to
distant cities. Buildings and
streets cannot be seen unless one
visits a place. The newspaper
goes as far as the mails.
The home newspaper furnishes
a means by which distant people
gain an idea of the place where it
is published. If newspaper is
newsy and clean geographically,
and has liberal advertising, every
man from Los Angeles to the At
lantic who sees it gets an idea
that the town is alive.
People have no idea how news
papers circulate away from their
home town. Every publisher has
d considerable list Of subscribers
who formerly lived where it is
published, or are interested in the
place for business reasons. And
people send away many papers.
If you want Newark to cut a
good figure before the world, help
US to make The Journal reflect
the very best there is in Newark.
If you see where Improvements
could be made in the paper, tell
us SO, and then do not be afraid

CLEANER ELECTIONS

1t is said that an effort will be
made when the next legislature
meets to pass a law making it a
misdemeanor for election officials
to hold back returns or fail to re-
port the returns to the secretary
of state more than three days.
1t is proposed to make each vio-
lation punishable by fine of from
500 to $500 and six months inn
prisonment in Jail. This law will
also be made applicable to pri-
maries.
If this law had passed several
years ago and had been enforced
the Democratic party IN Arkansas
would today have been in much
better shape and not torn into
shreds ON account of alleged bal
lot box stuffing and frauds.
There is need of a drastic re-
form in our election laws and The
Journal hopes the next legislature
will enact a law that will afford
the state the much needed relief
from the cry of fraud that has
heretofore been so easily raised by
a defeated candidate after an cleo
ton.
Fair and honest elections can
hurt no man except the political
crook, and the political crook is
entitled to very little considera-
ton.
By all means give us better
election law.

There is absolutely no reason in
assuming that live stock farming
will not pay in Arkansas, when
farmers in Iowa, Missouri, Indi.
ana, and Illinois have made a sue
cess of it on 500 land with
short summers, long winters, and
a single crop season and no natur-
al forage and range. While in
Arkansas we have only few
weeks during each season that it
is necessary to house the stock;
we can raise three or four crops a
season; have plenty of $40 land
and unlimited natural range.
There are few obstacles to Ark
ansas live stock farming.

When you go to figure on the
cost and the value of improved
highways, do not forget that they
have a very real and very great
value in the added enjoyment and
the added freedom they bring to
the people of a community; and
that this is a benefit no less real
than is the cost of the hauling
you do over the roads; and this is
a benefit which is hard to estimate
the value of in dollars and cents.
