ply: have just read your editorial in
the vinton Eagle on Deyoe and the
public schools
j am deeply interested in the growth
of the public schools, and especially
with reference to the rural school. I
think q magnificent start was made
when Iowa few years ago adopted
the consolidation act, and thereby per-
mitted the country school to be made
attractive and OF vital force in the
progress and development Of Iowa.
The city school has taken q very
advanced step In the Introduction OF
domestic science and manual training.
This school Will always take care Of
and protect itself. The question for
Iowa to consider il as to the country
school. remember the school at
tended when II years of age in Henry
county, had an attendance OF seventy

the same school had an average daily
attendance of nine How can you ex-
pect a school Of that size to be potent

peoples attention recent legislation. Is
timely one.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Against our advice, Joe Allen has
at last decided to become candidate
[ for governor observes the Grand
Junction Globe.
Now that names are being formally
announced for the republican nomina- :
! ton for governor it is a proper time
to serve notice on Allen, Cosson,
Thcrne, ct al, that unless they get
! together and decide upon which one
of them shall make the race a gentle-
man by the name of Harding resid-
ing at Sioux City and at present oc-
cuying the position of lieutenant gov
ernor will step in and carry OF the
nomination says the Rockwell City
Advocate. While in a great many
other ways MIR, Harding is man to
! be admired there are conditions in
! Iowa at this time which would make
(; his nomination a very risky piece of
political business for the republican
party No use to speak in palmer
terms. You all know the situation
| The Sac Sun says Mr.. Allen is one
| Of the men whom 1t can most cheer
/; fully support. If the candidates were
4, all of the character of Senator Allen
and Acknowledgement Cosson, the Sun
/ would not care how many would enter
] the field for the nomination at the pri-
| mary except for the embarrassment Of
choosing among friends"
The Sioux City Journal reports that
mot only Is Lieutenant-Governo
announcement by Senator Allen of his
n hn o., <oyS o1
nopination, but that he awaits with
calmness and resignation similar an
nouncements from Attorney General
Cosson, Senator Francis and as many
others of his political opponents as
may care to enter the primary"
The Knoxville Journal repeats that
Mr.. Rawson is one Of the most popular
men in the state and would make a
splendid governor He has the educa-
ton

IF the president had been a bigger
man he would not have broken with
Mr.. Bryan, and IL Bryan had been more
OF a man of detail, more of manager,
he would not have broken with the
president" asserts the Des Moines
Register and Leader. 1T has been
mutual defects OF temperament that
have brought about the party disaster.
and those mutual defects of tempera-
ment everybody has been quick to rec
ognize."

supreme question in Iowa Is how to

the situation and that Mr.. Allen is one
of the men fairly entitled to develop
his strength for the governorship. We
have previously expressed an opinion
that Mr.. Harding's strength as a can
didate is generally overestimated and
we have "hunch" that Allen and
Cosson together will hold away from
Harding d great many more votes than
Cosson alone could hold. although we
have no question whatever that Co.'S
son alone would beat Harding TO death
in straight fight What we really
desire Is to see Harding eliminated and
to see attention generally directed to
such men as Cosson and Allen, both
of whom we regard AZ quite worthy
of the nomination and Of election. In
that case the party would be sure Of q
worthy candidate and no man would
-haveshis reasonable ambitions unfairly
and unseasonably snuffed. In other
words, we do not like at this time q
division Of the republican party into
sheep and goats. even though we may
look upon Mr.. Harding as goat. and
We think that the best interests of the
party may be served by inviting an
expression of popular choice between
sheep. ss

L. F. JOHNSON FOR
THE LEGISLATURE

L. F. Johnson of Sulphur
Rock, one of the county's best
known and most popular citi-
zens, announces in today's pa
per as a candidate forrepresen-
tative.
Mr.. Johnson has been citi-
zen of independence county
since before the war. He was
among the first to enlist in the
Confederate army in this coun-
ty when the call was made for
volunteers. He saw active SER
vice during that memorable
struggle, and is today one of the
four survivors who enlisted in
his company.
He has borne the duties and
the burdens of citizenship when
it required not only his means
but his courage and bloodshed
to remain a loyal citizen of his
country, and there is probably
not man in the county more
entitled to public recognition
than Mr.. johnson.
Mr.. Johnson has always TAX
en- an active interest in public
affairs and is we'll nosted as to
the needs and interests of the
people.
He is in every way we'll quail
fled to fairly, honestly and in
telligently represent the people
of independence county in the
legislature, and in the event of
his election The Journal believ-
es he will give them no cause
for complaint.
The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1915-11-25

which he brings to bear upon
his congregations with sledge-
hammer effects. He is one of
the few men who can have his
hearers convulsed in laughter
and almost in the next instant
have them shedding tears. Most
of his witticisms have a pointas
sharp as a needle and he ap-
plies them with telling effect.
He eXcoriates sin and wrong
doing, in high and low places,
both in and out of the churches,
withoutregard to denominations
al lines, and unhesitatingly calls
a spade spade, freely and OPP
emily and without the slightest
reservation.
The meeting resulted in 80
additions to the church. There
were also q number of recla-
nations and the church was
wonderfully revived.
At the close of the services
Sunday night, with bne of the
largest crowds present ever
at a church service in Newark,
everyone present regardless of
UNCONVENTIONAL lines, stood up
and extended the evangelist
cordial invitation to return to
Newark and hold another revi-
val next summer.

MORNING HOT SHOT
TO Be RE-INSTATED
Train Will Go on Again Dec. S
When Change in Main Line
Trains Becomes Effective

Col. V. Y. Cook of Batesville
informs The Journal that he is
in receipt of a telegram from
Superintendent D. w. Hickey
of the White River Division,
stating that the early morning
passenger train between Bates
vile and Newport will be rein
stated December 5.
1t is not known at this time
upon what schedule the train
will operate, but it is presumed
it will be about the same as be-
fore its discontinuance some
time ago. The local passenger
on the main line, with which
this train formerly made con-
nection, arrives at Newport at
8 30 which is ten minutes later
than its former schedule. The
hot shot" formerly left Bates
vile at 1850, arriving at New
port at CLIO. 1t is thought that
when re-instated it will leave
Batesville at 5 a. m.
On December 5 new fast
train service will be inaugural
ed between st. Louis and Gal
weston over the Iron Mountain.
and it is believed by some that
the new schedule of the "hot
shot will be SO arranged as to
make connections at Newport
with this new train. This does
not seem probable, however. as
this train going south will pass
Newport at about ITO a. M,
and going north will pass New
port at about 4::30 a. m.
1t is very probable that when
the hot shot" is re-instated it
will pass Newark about 5:45 a.
M, with the west-bound sched-
ule remaining unchanged. 1t is
thought thatthe Cushman-New-
port local will resume it's form
err run on the old schedule.

ARKANSAS

The San Francisco Examiner
of November II, which devoted
a column TO the arrival of the
Arkansas sponsors at the ex-
position, carries a two-column
half-tone picture of Miss Mild
red Reamy of Newport, whom
the photographer caught while
taking bite from an Arkansas
apple. The Examiner speaks of
the sponsors as the Twenty
Six Arkansas Travellers" and
adds that shey are the most at
tractive and the jolliest girls
who have landed at the exposi-
ton.

INTERESTING RACE
FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE

Present indications are that
there will be only two candi-
dates in the field for circuit
Judge of this district. Judge
Dene H. Coleman who was APP
pointed by Gov. Hays, will be a
candidate and former prosecut-
ing attorney Claud M. Erwin of
Newport will be a candidate.
Judge Erwin made a splendid
record while he was prescott
ing attorney and has many
friends in every county in the
district. Judge Coleman is said
to have made may friends since
his appointment and everything
indicates that the contest is go
ing to be very close and inter-
esting one.

MORRILLTON Man
KILLS DAUGHTER
Wife of County Judge E. F.
Rhoden Loses Life as Result
of Domestic Trouble.

Morrilton, Nov. 24-When
she tried to protect her hus-
band from an attack by her ia
Their, Mrs. Eugene F. Rhoden,
! wife of county judge Rhoden,
at midnight last night, was shot
and killed by her father, t. j.
kissire, a retired business man.
After accidentally killing his
daughter Kissure again turned
the gun on Judge Rhoden
shooting him in the left arm.
The limb will have to be ampu-
tated. There have been no ar
rests.
Mrs. Rhoden leaves three
three children, aged II, 10 and
Z years, respectively.
Judge Rhoden and his wife
had been separated, and late
last night Judge Rhoden went
to the Kissire home, at which
his wife had been residing, in
an effort to effect a reconcilia-
ton.
Judge Rhoden, it is claimed,
began to reprimand Mrs. Rho
den whei the latter refused to
return to him. Mrs. Rhoden's
father, Mr.. Kissure, interfered,
ordering Judge Rhoden to re-
frain from further abuse of
Mrs. Rhoden, it is alleged. A
quarrel between the two men
ensued.
Mr.. Kissire grasping load
ed shotgun, endeavored to
shoot Judge Rhoden. Mrs. Rho.
den, in an effort to prevent
bloodshed, jumped between the
two. men. Her leap was made
simultaneously with the dis
charge of the gun, and the full
load of shot struck her in the
head. Death Observation-Disclosures.

RUDDELL FOR SHERIFF

In this issue of The Journal
appears the announcement OF
Lawrene Ruddell as candidate
for reelection as sheriff.
in asking the voters to honor
him with a second term in this
important office, Sheriff Rud-
dell bases his claims on the
splendid and faithful service
rendered the county during the
time he has filled the Office, to
which service his friends point
with pride. And the sheriff's
friends are insistent upon the
time-honored custom which
gives the faithful officer sec
ond term.
Since assuming the duties of
the office, Sheriff Ruddell has
had many important mattersto
deal with, and he has made an
honest and sincere effort to
faithfully discharge his duty in
every instance. How we'll he has
succeeded is attested by his OPP
en- record, which shows thatthe
interests of all the people have
been we'll taken care of in ev-
cry instance.

MISTAKE CORRECTED

In the court proceedings pub
lished in The Journal last week
was an item stating that Napo-
leon Wrinkles was given one
year in the pen on a plea of
guilty.
This is a mistake, as Wink
les was only charged with dis
turbing the peaee5 and ofcourse
could not have been sentenced
to the pen on such a charge He
entered plea of guilty to this
charge and was fined SIS. The
error was entirely unintention-
al on our part and The Journal
is very sorry it occurred, as we
have no desire to reflect upon
anyone by the publication of a
misleading report.
