 We cannot have things as we want them. Only occasion- ally do things meet our exact estimate of worth or fit our critical requirements, hence we should save others of our wor- ry and vexation because some trifling matter is not as we be- lieve it should be. It sn'ta very difficult matter to make allow ances for mistakes and short comings and nothing will do more to make character than this.

4 country whose people are SC largely engaged in agricul- ture as are the people of Ark ansas should manufacture many of these commodities and get the benefits of all the profits that are to be derived from these products. By saving trans portation, both of the raw ma terial and the finished pro- ducts the value of these pro- ducts are greatly enhanced and the people have greater advan- tages in competing in the mar kets of the world. In this way the earning power of the peo- pie is greatly increased and more time may be given to educational and social better ments.

What the Women Can Do For Newark

The women of Newark can do lot for this town if they will.
 In many towns the women s clubs and many other organi- zations of women are among the leaders in working for civic tetterment-good parks, clean er streets and cleaner morals.
 But a woman can do much las an individual, just as she can as a member of a club. She can encourage her husband to interest himself in movements for the public good. She can exert an influence where mere man has much less influence than she has; for she can teach the children of her own home and of the whole neighborhood to take pride in the home town and ineulcate in them desire to make it a clean and well governed town.
 The town that becomes a mod el of its size is the town where both men and women are plan ming for it and working for it and working for it all the time.

Here is very ordinary little story with a point as sharp as a needle, which we have a no- ton to print on large card
 and hang in every business house in Newark: On a recent visit to the state capital, a cer- tam citizen went out to visit the state insane asylum, where he saw about 400 men in the park taking exercise, and he asked how many guards it took to look after the crazy people He was informed that it took only four. He asked what would the four guards do if the 400 organized and decided to run off. The answer he got was, Crazy people neverorganize. "

THE DANCE

Editor Journal.-This sub- Iject is one that at this time parents and young people should seriously consider. With mo i'll will toward the advocate land those who practice danc- ling, 1 write for a higher mo- tive than to arouse a preju- Idice, but for the good to all.
 1 start out with this pro- position. If the. dance is no harm, then why not have spec lial meetings for dances at all churches so as to practice and have the enjoyment of the so- Ieial feast? And if it is wrong, let all people who love civili- zation and good morals, stand up against it.
 | What would the readers Iof The Journal say if an add should appear in this paper Something as follows:
 THERE WILL BE A BIG CHURCH BALL AT THEBAP- FIST CHURCH WITH THE PASTORS OF THE THREE ACTING AS A .COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE AND CONDUCTEVERYS SET. ;"
 Well, if there is no harm in
 lit why not have thing like this so the members of the diff ferent churches could get bet
 ter acquainted and learn to
 know each other better, es- pecially the young people? Reader, you know there would be a greater commotion than ever q debate has caused.
 T want to suggest something that appears to the writer to be
 against the dance.
 First. The dress, or rather the want of dress, stands hagainst the dance. Look at that young woman in the dance hall with so much of her per son exposed. Should she ap-
 pear in that garb on the street lor at any other public place lit would shock even herself. Another is the familiarity al- lowed in the ball room would mot be tolerated elsewhere. What would be said should those young ladies walk down the street encircled in the arms Iof a young man whowas known to be under the influence of Ithat which robs his senses of Ithe most noble and greatest ftraits of a gentleman. 1t would
 be the talk of the town. Anoth- Ter reason is late hours. We hardly eyer hear of dance in Eday light. In the dance the bas- CT passions are aroused in many lin many cases to ripen i'll the downfall and disgrace of some loving mothers child. It is a matter of record that houses of ill fame are largely fed from the dance; from the so-called fashionable ball. Here is where they make their first start as
 here is where the young girl
 gets the shock by allowing li- berties.
 1 could say much more but this is enough for any one who thinks and those who do not think there is no use of writing.
 Yours for good morals

In some states, the revenue from liquor goes into the school fund. What a lack of common sense it is for State to tax li- quor for the school fund to educate the patrons of the bar and then a little later sell these same children liquor to destroy the brains that the liquor tax educated. Such a procedure is much like a monkey chasing its tail.
