Salve is a poor remedy to heal a bad political record. St. Patrick’s Day, and the green is very much in evidence. Let’s have a clean-up day and a r flower planting day combined in this ; city. Running away from an opponent to keep from discussing the issues of the campaign, will not secure many ' votes for the man who does the run ning away. Reports from the farmers of this section indicate there will be more foodstuffs and vegetables raised this season in Independence county than ever before. Unless we have men in congress j who will look out for the interests of the south first, we will never secure federal aid for drainage and good roads. The other fellows are alive, and will miss no opportunity to get theirs. — : Beer drinkers of International Falls, Minn., threaten to vote for. prohibition if the saloon men do not, reduce the price of beer to 5 cents 1 a glass. And then these same im bibers would order their beer and booxe from outside towns and pay still higher prices for the same. But i then their thirst might not be so great as it is now. when the liquor is handy and easy to procure. .

Those persons who have boasted, and heard Mr. Oldfield boast, of his ability to meet all comers, and his faithfulness to keep his word, will no doubt be surprised to learn that he failed to keep his word to meet his opponent at Searcy Monday night in joint debate, and agree upon a list of appointments for the balance of the campaign. But— Those persons who have heard the two candidates in joint debate are not surprised that Mr. Oldfield is anxious to get away from the pound ing Mr. Campbell has been adminis tering to him at each appointment. Now— If you believe a candidate for con ! gress is justified in pursuing that I course, you ought to vote for Mr. | Oldfield. If you do not endorse that course, ■ you ought to vote for Mr. Campbell. COUNT OF THE BALLOTS. Every true democrat desires no breath of suspicion shall arise after the votes in the coming primary are cast and counted, and that the elec tion will be so conducted over the en- i tire state that every defeated can- I didate, as well as the successful ones, ■ will feel that there is no cause for complaint at the manner in which the election was held and the count made. In our county and immediate sec-' tion there has rarely been cause sor 1 ! complaint, and we believe the coming , ‘ election in this section will be con j ducted honestly, fairly and honorably 1 bv the men chosen to handle the bal-' I , l<>ts and make the count. ■ . I Nor have we any cause to think 1 the election will be conducted unfair ly at other points. But unfortunately for the demo cratic party, in former elections there 1 has been ground for suspicion of wrong doing in some counties, and these charges are most humiliating to all true democrats I Our election laws should lie amend i cd, so that the results at every elec tion could be made known within an : hour or two after the polls close. But this ia a question for the leg , islature to handle. Where men are honest, laws are । not needed to control their actions when honored with a trust, whether thut trust be counting the votes of their neighliors, or performing some other duty. And where men are dishonest, it . lis hard to reach them by law. espec ially in regard to elections. । But there is no more contemptible, I cowardly and despicable crook than the man who would steal the vote of I his neighbor. Every true democrat, of course, has his choice for office, and many ' work hard for the success of their j favorites, but no true democrat will 8 11 ■■■R ,I • Solves the Problem of Decorating Your Walls THIS Modern, Sanitary.

We have sufficient law against the corruption of the ballot in this state, j hut notwithstanding this, men sue-1 fleeted of corrupting the ballot have gone unpunished, either from the fact of their political bifluence, or be cause the officers Dave hesitated to 1 push the charges against such men. , The coming election is a demo cratic fight, and the man who would rerort to dishonest means, or who would steal the vote of his neighbor drserves to lie placed in the peniten j tiary.

Washington, March 16.—Ambas sador Page's explanation of his Lon don speech touching upon the Mon roe doctrine and the Panama tolls re peal is satisfactory to President Wil son, who regards the incident closed so far as the administration is con cerned.
