as liar" and other terms equally
unbecoming- The Crosser and
Head affair, the Dorr case, and
others in which It has been openly
charged that the prosecuting at
torney failed TO do his duty, play
ed prominent parts in the discus
sion. Mr.. Oldfeld mentioned a
number of things which he said
Gray had circulated on him and
characterized them as "slanderous
lies. . He said Gray was no law
yer, could not fill the office if he
had it and that if the people had
it in for him (Oldfeld) they could
not afford to vote for such a sim
pletOn as Gray.
I. A. Gray, Mr.. Oldfeld's OPP
ponent, was not present, but had
representative on the ground in
the person of Hon. A. G.. Gray,
who was then introduced and pro-
ceeded to answer some of Mr.. Old
fields arguments. Mr.. Gray's ar
raignment of Oldfeld's official rec
ord soon grew somewhat caustic,
also, and when it seemed that Gray
was about to entrap Oldfeld on a
certain question at issue, Oldfield
became enraged, and jumping to
his feet, denied the allegation made
by the speaker, and demanded in a
rather threatening manner of Mr..
Gray not to go any further with
the statement. Cries of "Hurrah
for Gray" were heard on all sides,
quickly followed by cries of "Hur-
rah for Oldfeld," and number
of friends of each of the beliger-
ents were on their feet in an in
slant. 1t looked like trouble was
ahead, but just at this junction
Mayor Williamson appeared in the
rear door just behind the speaker,
and shaking his finger warningly
Mr.. Oldfield, commanded him to
sit down. Oldfield returned to his
seat and after quiet was restored
Mr.. Gray resumed his speech, de-
nouncing Mr.. Oldfeld at times in
the most caustic language at his
command. Oldfeld kept his seat,
however, and no further demon
STATIONS occurred. In closing
Gray said in reply to Mr.. Old
fields charges that his opponent
was not a lawyer, Mr.. Gray stated
that he ct. Al held license to
practice IN the supreme court of
the state which was more than
Oldfeld could say for himself.

the campaign. He spoke for an
hour and handled his opponent
pretty roughly at times. In fact,
his denunciation Of Mr.. Gray was
very caustic, and he frequently re-
ferred to Gray in such plain words
Gov. Davis; told how Wood 5
progress in the race was thus inn
peded by Arnold, how the coat
tail finally tore off, and said that
if Wood should be elected Arkan-
sas would have a bob-tailed COVER
nor. This story literally brought
down the house, and throughout
his remarks it was evident that
Logan had many friends in the
audience.
Judge Lindsey followed with a
smooth heart-to-heart talk of few
minutes concerning the measures
he advocated. Close attention was
given him throughout and while
be is not an orator it is evident
that he is a deep thinker and goes
to the bottom of affairs.
Jno. G. Hazelrigg was then in
PRODUCED and made a short bust
ness like talk. He favored cur
failing appropriations and startled
quite a number with the declara-
tion that he would favor cutting
$4,000 from the appropriation for
the state university.
L. j. Raney was the next speak
er. He discussed the measures set
forth in his platform and made a
good, business-like talk. His re-
marks were given close attention
and as Tom is citizen of Newark
and was among neighbors and
friends, is unnecessary to say that
his remarks were we'll received.
Dene II. Coleman followed with
the closing address for the repre-
sentatives. Dene is somewhat of
an orator and for about 20 minutes
poured forth his eloquence with
ease and dignity. His reference
to Hazelrigg and Arnold was loud
ly applauded, in fact he was fire.
quently applauded during the
course of his speech. He closed
with a beautiful tribute to the la
dies, a number of whom were in
attendance in the afternoon.

to review his official record, and ex

Editor The Journal
AS you are we'll aware. am a
supporter of Thos. j. Raney for
the office of representative, and
want to give the public through
your paper, few of the reasons
why he deserves the support of
the good voters throughout the
county.
To begin with, Tom is as well, if
not better, qualified for the posi-
ton as any man in the race; no
one can dispute this. His charac-
ter and reputation cannot be as
sailed. In this he is above re-
proach; sober, honest and upright,
and a consistent member of the
Methodist church.
While he has never held an of
fetal position, he has held num-
Der of positions of trust. / believe
he is member of every fraternal
order in town and no member is
held in higher esteem than he. At
the present time he is serving two
of the most prominent of these as
presiding officer, which shows that
those who are more closely associ-
ated with him have confidence in
his integrity and ability.
He is worthy of every honor
that can be bestowed upon him and
! hope the good people of Indepen-
dence county will give him rons-
ing majority On the 26th of March.

The cleverest, incest, most enjoy
able little show that ever occupied
the boards of the opera house in this
city was Hilliar.
Prof. Hillisr's tricks of legerdemain
were remarkably clever; his shadow
pictures, which were done in full
view of the audience with his bare
hands and nimble fingers, afforded
much amusement, and showed him
to be an artist in this line.
The dancing of Mile. SteOrra was
somewhat remarkable. In Que of the
dances the dress is said TO have
contained by actual measure
ment five hundred and seventy
yards of silk and the differ
ent colOred lights thrown upon her
made her represent all kinds of flow
ers, birds and reptiles and finally
made her aglOw as if in flames of

infer that God does not look down
with displeasure upon the innocent

The Greater
Lesser Sins

When we were much younger than
We are today we heard a young friend,
who has since become D. D., preach
his first sermon.
He had just returned from college
and was regarded as an unusually
bright young mar with promising
prospects.
He took for his text the eighth COM
mandment:
"ThOu shalt not steal"
We were disappointed IN the SER
mon.
He assumed that it was just as great
. sin in the sight OF God to steal an
uncancelled postage stamp as it was
10 break into a house and steal val
liable jewels or large sums Of money.
He held also that it was just as
much 3 sin in the sight of God, and
should be so regarded in the sight of
men, for young ladies or married
women TO be members of whist clubs
or play cards for a prize as it is for
the professional gambler to play for
heavy stakes.
He rounded up his sermon, as well
as we can remember, 10y saying that
il WAS Just as much sin to steal a
hin as il was 20 steal million dollars
that the motive in each was just the
same. That if the letter or the spirit
of the ten commandments is viola
ted in any particular the link to the
whole chain is broken and man
might as well commit rapine and |
murder and become al outlaw
for he would be no less in danger of
hell fire.
These statements from the pulpit
seem SO awful that they create
natural revolt in the make up of the
average man.
Between what is very good and
what is very bad there is q wide
chasm, but the intermediate steps lead
ing up from one to the other are lost
and where the one ends and the other
begins can not be clearly distinguish
ed.
In attempting to draw line Of
demarcation between them is diff
ficuIt task and on this point the views
of few men ever exactly agree.
But it may be safely stated that
professional gamblers are not recruit
ed from the ranks of those who take
part in innocent society games any
more, nor, indeed, as often as the
vo,,ng man accustomed to take y glass
of wine at home when he wants il,
is ant TO become q drunksrd AMI
vagabond. Compelled to seek di-
version or qualification away from
home, and TO do so surreptitiOusly

These innocent amusements have
been going on in this city as in other
cities, time out Of mind, yet We have
10 hear Of the first woman in whom
it has created desire for gaming or
has become professional gsmestress.
On q later occasion we heard a
preacher say from his pulpit in this

A Sermon
by
The Editor

These extreme views and mon
strOus expressions do harm rather
than good in so far that they ALLEVIATE
and drive from the portals of the
church many who otherwise might
become Jealous workers along hu-
name, charitable and reformato ~
lines.
Viewed from any standpoint it is a
fearful doctrine to place all offenses,
side by side on a level-to hold the
/ young woman, Who attends q social
function and engages in an innocent
game of cards, as heinous a male
factor and breaker Of the law, as the
burglar, Hbertine or murderer.
Such doctrine has no foundation
in logic, common sense nor in the
Christian code. We quote the sub
stance of the law:
He who is lacking in few things
shall be beaten with few stripes, but
he who is lacking IN many things
shall be beaten with many stripes"
"An work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy"
Men and women are bat grown up
children and need occasional digres-
siOns and diversions from the cares
aud vexstions of every day life and
for the church to turn its face against
all forms of amusements makes the
forbidden fruit all the more alluring
and tempting.
If church, however, DEGREES that
the members shall not dance, go |
TO the theater, taste wine, chew |
tobacco, dip snuff, smoke cigars, a
pipe or cigarettes, play cards, chess,
golf, pool or billiards, read novels or
Sunday papers, ride on street cars,
bicycles or in vehicles, wear Orna-
ments or eat hot food, the minister
has the right to insist upon the Obser-
vance of these rules, but it is now
conceded that he would be
kinder to his church in the breach
T ,ther than the insistsnce upon their
too literal observance.
We have observed, even in our day,
q vast change along these lines.
Life Is not regarded near so dismal.
1t is no longer regarded necessary
to punish the body to appear pleasing
to God.
When we were a boy to shiver in
church was regarded a virtue; to
have a furnace and be comfortable,
was not TO be tolerated. The Sunday
meals were cooked the Saturday be-
fore and ornaments were no more
worn than decOlette dresses. We
that the installing of
M elOdian created a schism and divid-
ed the church into hostile factions.
To insistthat the rigid rules adopted
years ago, and which may have suited
and been helpful to that age, should
be incumbent upon those now who
hold entirely different views, and
whose experiences are perhaps, more
extended, who, are better, at least as
well informed, and are as well quail
fled to Judge in these matters, is a
species of bigotry, arrogance and in
tolerance.
Man is q social animal and Graves
social pleasures.
When God created him and made
him lord of all that he could survey,

him dominion over the birds OF the
