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.

OLDFIELD JUMPS.
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

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

We hope that the primary on the
25th will lie so conducted that there
cannot be the slightest cause for sus
picion of wrong doing, and we believe
that if such is the case, it will
greatly strengthen the party, and re

Explanation Satisfactory.
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. When a full report of the
speech is received, it will lx* forward
ed to the senate, which asked for it
through the adoption of a resolution
by Senator Chamberlain. President
Wilson says any agitation over Mr.
Page’s references was caused by a
misunderstanding of what the ambas
sador said.
