TIE OPPORTUNITY IS HERE.

For years and years those who know this locality and it's sur roundings and have given thought to the matter have been fully convinced that Mena was an ideal spot for a resort for the people of the South and the lowlands in sum- mer, and equally suited as a win ter home for those of the frozen North. And, knowing the facts, year by year and season by season we have seen people by the score turned away who wanted to come and could find no adequate accom- modations, and had the knowledge that if accommodations could be had, thousands would come who otherwise go to far-away places at greater expense, loss of time and for less advantages.
 Again and again it has been laid before us that we were overlooking one of our greatest assets.
 It seems good, therefore, to have a visitor come, as did one yesterday, who appears to realize what we long have known, and who prom ises to go into the matter of build ing a resort hotel here in a busi- ness-like manner.
 If you know a knocker, now's good time to bump him.

 This seems fully as proper to most people as it seems improper for Governor Robinson, in the first steps of assuming the first duties and honors he asked the people to place in his hands, to use all the power of the place and position given him to crowd himself into a better berth.
 And, all in all, Lundy will take care of himself.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message of Governor Joe T Robinson to the General Assembly is given in full on another page of this paper. His recommendations cover the most important matters before the state and seem to be along sound lines, his ideas being laid down in a conservative and simple manner.
 In brief form they follow:
 Statewide prohibition having been rejected, this subject need not YeX lawmakers this session.
 Reforms in the revenue system.
 Proper solution of the $750,00O deficit, through bond issue or other Wise; simplest plan is through a lSan.
 Except in emergencies, limit ap- prOpriatiens to revenues; adopt 8 budget plan.
 sNot necessary to increase totaI tax levy; readjust the rates. sReorganize the penitentiary and convict system.
 A defective general system of ac- counting by institutions should be remedied.
 Consideration should be given a workingman's compensation law.
 Again ratify the federal income tax amendment which Governor Donaghey vetoed two years ago, SC that there can be no question of the validity of the work of the legisla- ture
 No argument can be submitted against a direct election of United States senators by the people.
 Preserve the old state house.
 Build better highways.
 Create state highway commits sion.
 Strengthen the state banking laws.
 Complete the dormitory of the State Normal and make liberal ap- propriations for the University oi Arkansas; look well after the com mon schools.
 Provide for the Sl5,0OO deficiency in the Confederate Home.
 Charitable institutions need close attention, financially in particular. A more liberal maintenance o. the State National Guard is needed Suspend the capitol tax levy.
 More revenue could be obtained without doing an injustice to any body.
 There should be a better enforce ment of non-assessment penalties. The franchise tax laws can easily be made to yield more revenues by conforming to the system prevail ing in other states.
 The passage of a law limiting campaign expenses seems to be de- sired; corrupt practice act seem, to be wanted

James A. Grant of Albert, Ark, with w. A. Hunter and H. Hart as witnesses, was in Mena Thursday and made final proof to his home stead near that place. MT. Grant undertook to prove up on his claim about six months ago, but failed because his notice was improperly handled by paper in another county, and was so pleased by the way the work was done by Polk county paper that he arranged to read it regularly.

THE INK COUNTS TOO!
Expense of Newspapers Is First
 Cost and POStaqe.

The ink bills of even a paper like The Mena Star mount up in a year, but in the case of big city papers they are immense. The Kansas City Star said recently:
 You are not accustomed to think of the printed letters as adding any thing to the heft of your newspa- per, but the black ink used in printing The Star last year added just half a million pounds to the weight of the t2i million papers printed, sold and circulated. The white paper weighed 20 thousand tons (40 million pounds). Postage and expressage cost $i63,00O.

You can scarce pick up a paper And it's poets corner greet, Except you'll see a pretty poem About the Mother Saintly Sweet; But you'll have a time a-searching Eyes will be sure aching bad Ere you will overtake a poem At this time for Poor Old Dad. Now it is not willful in them, Those that write of Mother Dear That there is no notice taken Of her Old Man sitting near. No, it's never meant to slight him, But it looked little sad, All the bouquets made for Mother Not a bloom for Poor Old Dad. True our mother watched above u; Till her dear old eyes would ache But old dad he bumped to feed us Till his back would nearly break Mother crooned above the cradle, Gave devotion all she had, Still there wasn't any circus At this time for Poor Old Dad. Do not take a line from Mother, When you write the soul swee

While state and national authorl- ties are teaching and preaching and pleading that the lives of birds be spared that humanity may be saved from the insect pests, the boys with their airguns are doing all they can to slaughter the last one. This is going on right here in Mena, and even in the heart of the city. In some places airguns are being banished by law. This should be done in Mena.
