new YORK PAPER
PRAISES OLDFIELD
Capable Service as Congressman
Makes Him Valuable to His Dis
trict and Entire Country

We note from an Arkansas pa
per that Mr.. Oldfeld, a Represent
alive in Congress from that state
is to have some opposition in the
next election. Opposition in oul
undertakings our life races-is
frequently a mental and physical
spur that results largely to our ad
vantage, though it may be for the
time, disquieting. 1t puts US on
our mettle as it were, and brings
about the opportunity for onlook.
ers to see us at our best.
We have an idea that Mr.. Old
fields opposition will give him pre-
cisely this opportunity. While he
is now serving but his third term
in the House and he is not yet
forty years of age-he has earned
the reputation of being a studious
hard working, quick-to-see Repre-
sentative, who is constantly gaining
more influence with his compeers
of the House. And it takes this in
fiuence, which comes to the cap
able member only by continuous
service, to make him valuable to
his constituents and the country
at large.
The House leader Mr.. Under
wood and the House Speaker Mr..
Clark, and the able and ever alert
John Sharp Williams of the Sem
ate, did not jump into sudden
prominence, but year by year grew
in the country's confidence and
estimation, and with a service ap-
proximating twenty years each in
Congress they have become con-
spicuous national characters.
Mr.. Oldfeld has been in the
House only five years, but he is
climbing the ladder just as did the
three distinguished gentlemen
mentioned, and while we have no
desire to interfere in the affairs of
a sister state. we think the neonle
of Mr.. Oldfeld's district would be
acting wisely in their own inter
ests and the interests of the entire
country, by retaining him in his
present position. The tried Repre-
sentative who fills the bill capably
is a big asset on the balance sheet
of the house; the untried one
