Entered at tha postoffiea, Newport,
Arkansas, as second-class mail mat
$1,500,000 worth of road work
done in Missouri in two days
set apart by the governor. Let’s
beat it September 3d and 4th in
Arkansas,.
A citizen of Glass township re
cently visited Newport for the
first time during a 15 5year’ res
idence in the county. With splen
did highways aeioss the county
does anyone think such a state
ment could be made?
If a city wants the trade of a
surrounding country, her busi
ness men ought to be willing to
help build the roads to that city
and the farmer has a right to ex
pect it.
The editor acknowledges the
receipt of a complimentary pass
to the White County Fair, to be
held in the enterprising city of
Searcy September 30, October 1,
2 and 3. While it is a county
fair, the event was so successful
last year that large crowds from
border counties are expected this
Fall. The premiums and purses
offered are sufficient to enlist
much competition and the man
agement has also engaged many
free acts to give interest to the
amusement features.
Walter K Hurley, our capable
road overseer, is being gener
ously complimented for improve
ments made in the condition of
our township roads and Mr. T.
8. Stephens says that the work
done upon the Island roads, in
cluding the steel bridge levee,
are worthy of the highest praise.
Our road overseers are not
working for the money altogeth
er. We give most of them credit
for not only working for the
money that the position offers,
but also a laudable desire to
better our public thoroughfares
and nothing encourages an offi
cial like praise when it is deserv
ed. Our road overseers get e
nough cussing because the sys
tem under which they hold and
work is wrong and could per
haps be improved by letting con
tracts, but when you do have a
' road official, who takes an inter
est in his work, who studies it
and makes intelligent efforts to
improve road conditions, then
endorse him publicly and let him
know that you have taken notice
of his work If you don’t be
lieve this helps, try it out and
you'll be convinced.
We business men dilate upon
the richness and fertility of
the soil of this garden spot; we
swell up with pride in reciting
our natural advantages and
we view with pleasurable antic
ipation the marketing of one of
the best crops ever produced by
this county and yet what have
we done to extend our trade ter
ritory and bring it into close and
more pregnant touch with the
outer sections of Jackson? Good
roads shorter distance, make a
twenty-mile haul easier than
ten has been over our present
thoroughfares, and would put
Newport into closer touch with
people who now consider them
selves too remote to think of
trading here. Trade follows the
lines of least resistance and
when we do away with barriers
of mud. sand and corduroy and
build inviting, easily traveled
roads, will be doing our part
in the building of a city. In
stead of boasting of what a kind
Providence has done let’s do
something ourselves that will be
reflective of a growing, prosper
ous and progressive city.
A Five-Fold Warning.
Henry Clay Ileattie, Porter
Charlton, Harry Thaw, Diggs
and Caminetti
Here, if we can tru^t publicity
records, are the five most glar
ingly conspicuous moral crimin
also of recent years.
They were all young, with life
promises bright ahead; they
were all well connected in their
family and social relations; they I
were all far above the nagging
worries and sordid influences ol ;
“poverty fiats.”
What then, was the secret of j
their sinfulness; wherein lay the]
key to their moral undoing? And
the answer lies in the ominous
words: Overindulgence as
boys; lack of training in self
control and respect for the law;
too much money to spend on
pleasure and vice.
These things will always he
found working together for the
spoliation of the finest character
istics ever inherited from respec
table and Cod-fearing parents.
They are the trinity of devils
that lurk in the shadows, wait
ing always for whomsoever they
may devour.
And it. is the indulgent parent,
the weak, foolish parent, who
makes their work so easy of ac
complishment. The overlooked
fault, the unrebuked temper, the
condoned disobedience, and the
ever full purse are the crytic
signs that later on spell theft,
murder, “insanity”, ruin.
The five men named above are
proof-examples of this tact,
j Each was a boy of good intelli
gence; each, in his susceptible
'childhood, would have taken the
• • * .. L , I ,1
I l l cl III lug IIIC4C ~ -
his feet on paths that lead to
cleaner heights of manhood.
Each, particularly the first three
with the murder mark against
their names, was the petted and
1 spoiled darling of unwise par
ents. In the great Upper Courts,
' where the last sentence is pro
nounced, they will not stand a
lone at the bar of trial, louch
ing elbows with them will be the
parents whose selfish, cowardly
indulgence helped to build up no
moral bulwarks to withstand
temptation.
The shirker of parental duty
will have his and her share of
blame and punishment to bear
when out of the closing shadows
of life they hear the “come into
'court, come into court!” of the
crier whom we call Death.
The born criminal is merci
| fully, the exception; the crimin
al who is made by lack of disci
! pline and lack of training is os
tensibly the general rule. ^
These five young men because
of the limelight that has been
j thrown upon them, stand out as
fearful warnings to the parents
as well as to the young men of
the country. Three of them
are murderers- One paid the
.penalty with his life, the corpse
from the electric chair being all
iiw -urml fiithor could claim of
the son who was once his joy
and pride. Another, whose
hands were also dyed with a
woman's blood has been taken
across the seas to end his days in
, the hideous silence of a foreign
prison. Parental indulgence
helped to open these prison doors
■ for his entrance, but parental
low can never pry them open.
The third in the group of the
| murderers—and perhaps the
least guilty because he slew not
his wife, but the destroyer of
his wife's virtues—has spent
heart-breaking days and months
and years in a sane "lunatic's”
cell, and is just now making his
last spectacular tight for free
dom. while his old. sad-eved
mother looks on hopelessly.
And the last two of the five—
the twin otharios of the golden
west, who defied the command
ment for the chastity and de
liberately mocked at their mar
riage vows, what of them? They,
too, are finding that the "mills
of the gods grind exceedingly
small." The doors of the peni
tentiary, grim, irrevocable, are '
gaping wide to shut them away
from twenty years of what might
have been honor and peace had
they not trailed their moral stan
dards in the dust and spat upon
the laws of God and man.
How any parent, prone to too.
much loving or too careless a 1
construction of the rules of dis- •
cipline, can look upon these ob- j
ject lessons and not feel their:
keen-fanged influence, it is hard
to understand.
The sons of good parents go
wrong; that is undeniable, but
the parent who has done his duty
in the training of his son will sor
row without the keen conscience
sting of self-reproach.
But to the parent who fails in
his duty through weakness or
love or the laziness or cowardice
of proper discipline, there will
come in the end the unanswera
ble question: You were your
children’- keeper; where are
their souls?”
Silently, persistently, eloquent
ly, these five men are preaching
a powerful warning to the par
enthood as well as the sonhood
of the country. Thei^ redepm
tion—if there is any for them—
may lie in the fact that their
heinous examples stayed others
from a like fate.—Commercial
Appeal.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored iots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that 1 became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby, i was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the woman's
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time 1 had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
I am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and l feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. 1 wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it.
