Be Careful What You Say.
When speaking of your neigh
bor’s fault
Pray don’t forget your own.
Remember those with homes of
glass
Should seldom throw a stone
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
’Tis far better to commence at
home
And from that place begin.
We have no right to judge a
man until be is fairly tried,
S.hould we not like his company
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults and who
has not
The old as well as young.
Perhaps we may, for all we
know, j \
Have fifty to their one.
I’ll tell you a better plan
And find it works full well
To try our own defects to cure
Before on others tell
And though I sometimes hope
to be
No worse than some I
know,
My own shortcomings tell me to
let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we com
mence
To slander friend or foe
Think of the harm one word
may do
To those who little know.

j Had Arkansas twenty years
ago adopted the Municipal Bond
| Amendment which is now being
'submitted to rhe voters of the
state, the picperty owners of
Black Rock, Lawrence county,
would today be - $1,000,000 bet
ter off. They would have that
sum of money to spend in im
provements, and by so doing, it
w'ould have been possible to
more than double the popula
tion of the little city- It is esti
mated by leading citizens of
that town that $1,000,000 worth
of property has been destroyed
there in ten years by fire. Most
of this would have been saved if
the town had even the crudest
;Sort of water system, for all
j fires were discovered before
; gaining much headway, and a
j little water w'ould have extin
iguished the blaze- For this rea
son the people of Black Rock
are working hard for the bond
amendment. Black Rock is on
Black River, and it will furnish
excellent water for drinking
| purposes. The Bond Amend
ment and no more fires, is the
policy adopted by the business
men of Black Rock.

Another Wreck On M- & N. A.
Leslie, Aug 13.—Ten people
were injured* yesterday after
noon at 4:15 o’clock when a pas
1 senger car on train No. 1 on the
Missouri and North Arkansas
'overturned near Elba, and eight
miles from Leslie. The baggage
and combination cars were de
railed, but the engine and Pull
man car remained on the track.
A special train carrying phy
sicians was rushed to the seer
from Heber Springs, but on
their arrival they found that
none of the injuries was serious.
The Pullman conductor, whose
name could not be ascertained,
was said to be more badly hurt
'than the others

Craighead’s Big Debt.
The financial statement of
' TraioflipaH nnnn+v annoanc in
i today’s Tribune and should be
of interest to all tax-payers. Ac
cording to the statement the
county now owes a total of $106,
808 26, and the total amount of
! scrip outstanding at present is
$40,418-78. The total indebt
edness includes the balance of
I $39,000 on the Lake City bridge,
which is being paid for at the
rate of $13,000 a year for five
years, two payments having al
ready been made. While the
statement shows that the county
owes $106,808.26, it must be
remembered that this $39,000
will not all be due until the end
of three years and there is
$27,380.48 in county scrip now
in the treasurer's hands which
was paid in last month by the
sheriff in his tax settement,
which will be cancelled at the
first meeting of the board. Hence j
$40,418-78 now represents the
total amount of scrip that is on
the market at this time, and
considering the improvements
that have been secured in an e
conomical way, this statement
shows the county to be in fairly
good shape and the debt being
gradually cut down.—Jonesboro i

My Opinion Of War.
I have read so much war news
the last few days, especially to
day, by coaching my imagina
tion a little I can smell the
smoke from the burned powder,
and hear the roar of the ma
chine guns, and see the life
blood gurgling from the bodies
of ignorant * men- What a
shame! What for? What for?
What is to be gained by the
great common people?
The German Emperor wants
to be a Napoleon and is willing
to make any sacrifice, except
one that might affect him per
sonally, to gain his military
prominence.
The situation is too horrible
to think of. G civilization, is
it not a shame! If I could "he
the ruler of this world for five
minutbs I would have all this
foolishness cut out. Civiliza
tion. That word has been in
timately associated with peace
in the dictionary so long
that has caused our language to
lose confidence in its own hon
esty
Let us do away with the war
implements and have heaven on
earth; not hell on earth. The
Lord says “Peace on Earth,” but
I have traveled around the best
part of the globe, and I cannot
see where peace on earth comes
I in. Everyone is carrying a
gun of some kind for the pur
pose of taking human life.- Why,
even the parents raised their
children up with a gun in their
hands; so where does religion
come in

-Contemptible Attack On Ma
r loney.
(
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 13. —
t Yellow cards attacking the
| Democratic party of Arkansas
because the state convention
'saw fit to choose J. S. Maloney,
a Catholic, for the secretary of
the State Committee, are being
circulated over the state. They
are the product of a Socialist
j.with rabid Anti-Catholic ten
jdencies. The writer does not
tell the people that Jack Ma
loney is one of the most cour
teous, most efficient, and most
popular young men of Little
Rock. He does not tell them
that the people of Pulaski coun
ty deem it a great privilege to
give Jack Maloney anything in
the way of an office that he
wants- He does not say that
Jack Maloney is a character
held in the highest esteem, by
man, woman and child, and that
he is every one’s friend.
It is true that Jack Maloney is
a Catholic, but heretofore this
has never been considered a po
litical barrier, or has politics
been considered a matter of re
ligion- This attack will make
his friends even more strong for
him, and it will at the same
time solidify the party against
Socialistic attack. Jack Maloney
has ignored the yellow cards,
but because of their circulation
he is taking less of a prominent
part in directing the state cam
paign than he would otherwise
have done. This too, is a
gainst the advice of his many
friends, but it only goes to
show the disposition of the
man—he would rather sacrifice
himself than the party
