The Kind of Governor Arkansas
 NEEDS JUST NOW

With the kindest of feelings toward the several young gentlemen who may aspire to the governorship of Arkan- sas at the August primary, and with out any apology to the professional politicians" who may seek the distin- guished honor of serving as our states chief. executive, may we hope their ambition be denied them at this critical time, when the call of dis tressed people is asking that sea- soned statesman be permitted to un- tangle the unfortunate state of af- fairs existing in our beloved common- wealth.
 Arkansas needs no further ''exper- imenting" in the matter of electing governors.
 Our good ship of state has drifted out into the troubled waters of reck- less extravaganza, whose wild waves threaten to engulf her in a whirlpool of accomplishing debt, out of which she may not be able to emerge for half century.
 The greatest menace to the peace and prosperity of the people of this state are the professional politi- cians," who play the game for per sonai gain, and who are now tam pering" with the deck in desperate effort to draw the high card" at the August primary.
 God grant that they do not succeed But unless the people arouse them. selves to a sense of supreme duty. un. less the bread winners" of the land assert their power at the polls. then we cannot expect or hope for any. thing more than a continuation of misguided justice, as the "pardon at. torneys" and useless army of state house employees settle down once more to their lucrative labors at the grow ing expense of the overburdened tax payers, and in utter disregard of the welfare of the state. There is a ray of light, ap unbroken word of prom ise to which we would direct your earnest attention.' It appears in the person of Hon. Thos. c. McRae, the veteran statesman of Nevada county.

Famous Quotations
And TIL cir Origin
NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE
SUCCESS.

In the last few years this has be-
come one of the most familiar
proverbs of the business world. 1t
seems to epitomize modern "hus-
tie and to express very aptly the
creed of the twentieth century, Yet
the thought was written down at
least $500 years ago and the quo
tation. exactly as now used, has
been a common proverb in France
for several hundred years.
Back in 500 b. c. we find the
Greek tragedian, Aeschylus, say
ing: Success is mans god"
Nothing succeeds like success"
is found in the oldest books of
French proverbs and it was used
by Dumas in one OF his novels.
Rouchefoucauld (French 1873
$500, says: Most people Judge
men only by success or fortune
byron English l1SS-1S24),
seems to have been of The opinion
that men succeed according to their
merits. for he says: THE true
touchstone OF descrt-success.7
Benjamin Disraeli (English 1906
$3.50, In a speech said; ''The Sc
cret OF, success Is consistency to pur-
pose"
Robert Browning (English 1872
1880. says: God will estimate
success one day."

The way grows weary and the burden heavy,
My youthful strength / know is wasting fast:
The heights above that once could not deter me
Viewed through the eyes of age seem
more vast.
A wanderer, l pause beside the pathway
Too tired to scale the mountains lofty crest
My aching limbs refuse to bear me farther
Il turn aside and seek place of rest.
Times hand is laid upon my Bonded shoulder
Upon my head the snow of winter lies;
My feet now falter | onward journey,
And dim has grown the vision of my eyes
The flowers of Youth that bossomed once so
brightly
Have faded, and have fallen by the way;
The morning fires that burned and famed so
fercely
Are dying as near the close of day.
Der many sleeps and rock-strew ways I've
journeyed;
Through peaceful fields Of green I've wan
dered far.
On wondrous heights of Joy I've stood enchanted
With naught but distance my rapt gaze to bar
And ever as I've wandered outward, onward
Along the paths we travel but once DER,
Each day new truths and visions opened to me
More glorious far. than of the day before.
Like changing winds that, constant yet. are
blowing N
Across the plans--across the boundless sea
LIES varying course is slowly shaped. but surely
And destined for that great eternity
And when, at last, the evening shadows lengthen.
And Ger me steals the final rknng night,
wonder will my sunset sky CLEAN golden
wonder will my evening star shine bright!
