himself to determine for himself in deal
ing with his own subordinate in his own
department.
Action or Inaction.
There are many worthy people who
reprobate the Buchanan method as a
matter Of history, but who in actual life
reprobate still more strongly the Jack
son-tincoln method when it is put into
practice. These persons conscientiousIy
believe that the President should solve
every doubt in favor OF inaction as
against action, that he should construe
strictly and narrowly the constitutional
grant of powers both to the national gov
eminent, and to the President within the
national government In addition, how
ever, to the men who conscientiously be-
lieve in this course from high. although
as l hold misguided, motives, there are
many men who affect to believe in It
merely because it enables. them to at
tack and to try to hamper, for partisan
or personal reasons, an executive whom
they dislike There are other men in
whom, especially when they are them
selves in office, practical adherence to.the
Buchanan principle represents not we'll
thought-out devotion to an unwise course,
but simple weakness OF character and
desire to avoid trouble and responsibility
Unfortunately, in practice IL makes little
difference which class of ideas actuates
the President who by his action sets a
cramping precedent Whether he is high
minded and wrongheaded or merely IN
firm Of purpose, whether he means well
feebly or Is bound by mischievous mis-
conception Of the powers and duties of
the national government and of the
President, the eject Of his actions is the :
same. The Presidents duty is to act so
that he himself and his subordinates shall
be able to do efficient work for the
people, and this efficient work he and
they cannot do IL Congress is permitted
to undertake the task OF making UP his
mind for him as to how he shall perform
what is clearly his sole duty.

NEWSPAPERS AND CHE PEOPLE

The Journal believes it has as many real, sincere friends and we'll wiShers as any paper ever had among the people whom it circulates and serves. Still, we sometimes feel that our work and our efforts are not really appre- ciated, and we wonder If the in- cessant toll and labor nee essary to publish a good paper in a small town is really worth while.
 There are a few people who consider the newspapers not only of no value, but sort of neces- sary evil. But in spite of all this we know that the real value of the newspapers cannot be esti- mated in dollars and cents, and along this line we commend to our readers the following editorial from the Arkansas Gazette.
 "The Gazette desires to call the attention of the people of Arkan- sas to the aid now being given by the press of the state to various departments of the state govern ment. It is a proper aid and one the newspapers are glad to give, but in calling attention to 1t the Gazette also desires to call atten- ton to the efforts made in the last legislature to destroy the newspaper business through the Covington bill and to the effort to take away from the country news papers certain public printing which should go to them, not SC much for the good of the news. papers as for the public good.
 Until the states bureau oi mines, manufactures and agricul ture began using the newspapers
The Newark journal., 1913-10-03

the bureau was of little value to Arkansas. Not only the daily newspapers but the weekly news papers in Arkansas have matters of interest to landowners and farmers in almost ever issue. It IS valuable information, but it is valuable only because, through the agency of the newspapers, 1t can be given to the landowners and farmers. The University of Arkansas, and various other edu- cational institutions, are being aided by the newspapers of the state; and without the newspapers Gov. Hays good roadf plan would have been a failure.
 There are newspapers which push the liberty of the press to the verge of license, but there is none suchin Arkansas and there are few such in this country. The people generally realize the good done by the newspapers and should make lawmakers realize 1t Publicity is is the one and only power capable of making certain crooked men walk straight. What thinking man will deny that without the press in the United States our scheme of government would have been a failure? Without publicity it would have been possible for conscienceless and scheming men to take charge of our government. The press is the last and strongest bulwark of the people"

When a newspaper man gives you a lot of free advertising in or. der to boom some church enter tainment or Sunday school enter prise or the various other things in which you are interested, says an exchange, keep track of the number of lines that are printed week after week, and multiply that number by the regular adver- Using rates charged by the paper,

made to meet the expenses of state government during the admins tration of Governor Davis could be made to meet the expenses of state government today"
 That is exactly the trouble. The state has not had the benefit of as high a tax rate, by nearly one fourth, as 1t had during the Davis admistratrations. If the revenue the state has lost during the last seven years by reason of the one-half mill reduction in the tax rate, was now available, the state could meet all its obligations and still have a substantial sur plus left.
 The Journal takes no stock in the Records charge that the pres ent conditions were brought about by corrupt politics and that the state is now in the hands of graft CTS and boodlers.
 Any man with good common horse sense knows that it costs more to run any kind of business now than 1t did a few years ago, and 1t is only natural that the legi- timate expenses of conducting the State government will increase as the state progresses. We haven't the figures at hand to verify it. but we venture to say that twenty years ago the cost of administer ing the State government was at least one-fourth less than 1t Is now And twenty years from now the States expenses will be consider ably more than they are now. But this does not signify that State officials twenty years ago were men of more integrity or that they were more honorable ill their dealings with the people and the peoples money than are state off cials are today.
 Financing the State govern ment IS just like financing any other business. If a man starts out to run a sorghum mill, and 1t costs him $100 month to run it, the mill must make S100 a month or he can't pay expenses. It he IS making sorghum for 12t cents a gallon and only realizing a small surplus over and above running expenses, it is very plain, if he is a good business man, that he will not reduce the price of mak- ing sorghum to 10 cents gallon and still expect to pay expenses and lay by a surplus.
 The Journal takes no stock in the Records pessmistic vail about incometency, and corrupt politics, and we refuse to beleive that Ark sas is going to the dogs.
 There's absolutely nothing wrong with Arkansas except that she has been making sorghum too 1 cheaD
