SHARP COUNTY
FOR OLDFIELD
Willifor d New. Indorses His Record
as Congressman and Says he
is a Friend of the People

Mr.. Oldfield has made one of the
best congressman ever elected from
this district. He is energetic, hon.
est and fearless in the discharge of
his duty. The record will show
that he has missed fewer roll calls
since he has been in the house
than any other member of the Ar
kansas delegation in Congress; and
every vote has been in harmony
with the principles of the demo-
cratic party. He stands high in the
esteem of such national leaders as
President Wilson, w. J. Bryan,
Champ Clark and Oscar Under
wood. He is chairman of the COM
mittee on Patents, the only men,
Der from this state who was given
Craftsmanship. This is a far more
important committee than the or
binary man might at first think.
As chairman of this committee, Mr..
0ldfeld has won nationwide re
cognition through investigation of
abuses of the laws and remedial
legislation to correct their injus-
tice and detrimental results as af-
fecting the general welfare of the
country.
Will Oldfeld was born in Sharp
county. Just above the old Colonel
Matheny place on the road lead
ing from Evening Shade to Cave
City. travellers may see an old log
cabin slowly settling down to de-
cay, and that was the humble
birthplace of the man who is to-
day in Congress from this district.
Oldfield was raised a poor boy but
poverty never fettered his soul.
We have often heard him quote
that stanza beginning: There is
no chance, no destiny, no fate that
can circumvent, or hinder, or con-
troll the firm resolve of a determin-
ed SOUL And so Oldfeld has sue
ceeded. His predecessor was kept
in Congress for twelve years and
Mr.. Oldfield's friends believe his
record will compare favorably with
the man he succeeded. His record
is familiar to the people because
he has always stood close to the
people-the plain common people

ASKS FOR SECOND TERM

S. d. Lindsey announces in to-
days paper as a candidate for re-
rejection as tax assessor. During
his present term in office Mr.. Lind
sey has rendered the people faith
full and efficient service. His work
is all neatly done. his records well
kept and assessments fairly and
impartially made so as to impose
no unnecessary burdens upon no
one. He believes in the good old
Democratic slogan of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
and his work as tax assessor shows
that he practices what he breaches.

eS. Perhaps the young clerk in
New York City who, when he
read of the shutting down of
mills in Massachusetts, may have
felt about that event as he might
have felt about reading of a
shooting star, may within a few
weeks lose his employment as his
share of what that endless chain
brings from a distant state right
Ito his door.
When we think of that econom-
ic endless chain it is not so as
tonishing that in a few months
of industrial depression a third
of a million of bread winners in
New York City alone could be
out of work. And in this COM
mercial and financial, clearing
and shipping. center of TIE whole
country, it is not possible that a
third of a million bread-Winners
can be unemployed without many
more than that number being un-
employed elsewhere. For the
endless chain must have run from
other trouble to bring to New
York what trouble has happened
here. And it straightway runs
out again from New York to add
to the something that happened
there; and then it runs on to add
to the something that happened
somewhere else; and then it runs
on and on, around and around.
the mIsfortunes of each center
and each point helping to create
or intensity the misfortunes at
every other centre and point.
That's what makes New York
business men thoughtful when
there is talk of industrial depres
sion in Texas; what makes bad
news for Boston bad news for
Chicago; hard times for San
Francisco hard times for New
Orleans. That's why men who
study national maps and who
think about the endless chain
don't grow bullish in stock, finan-
cial, commercial or any other
markets when the country, or
any considerable part of the coun-
try, or even any distant section
of the country, is faced with eco
nomic readjustment, not tn e
gradual development of natural
conditions, but forced by politi-
cal policies and legislative pro-
grams. New York Press.

Business Depression"
Endless Chain.

ers are recorded as being out of
work in Greater New York. To
realize fully what this means in
the way of population deprived
of it's usual support one must
consider that in the great major
Iity of instances the bread-winner
represents not himself only, but
a family, big or little as the in
dividual case may be, but aver
aging perhaps several.
Think that if the average is
three to these families whose
bread-winners are without work,
the total population thus depriv-
ed of it's support is about a mil
lion souls. That population ranks
among the great cities of the
world. And if the average is on
| ly two there would be a popula-
tion deprived of it's usual sup
port of more than 650,000 souls !;
and that population would rank
among the great cities of the
United States. That's what it
means, from one point of view,
to have more than 100000 wage
earners out of work here in New
York City.
There is another point of view
no less impressive. 1t compre-
hends the delicacy, the sensitive
ness, the sympathetic relation
ship of the economic machinery
of a community, a state or a ma
ton.
Very often the man who talks
lightly of shutting down mills in
one removed part of the country,
or even a whole industry in some
other part, has no conception Of
what this must bring to others,
may bring to them five hundred,
perhaps a thousand, miles away
from where the shutters have
gone up before the windows and
the payroll books have been stor-
ed away.
Employment, with production
and wages and distribution,
might we'll be called an economic
endless chain. When the ma.
chinery of a big mill shuts down
and a thousand men, say, walk
out of their jobs, there begins to
run the endless chain of their
| misfortunes. The shopkeepers
from whom they bought their
food and clothing begin to suffer
from the loss of their trade.
Wage earners working for these
shopkeepers begin to lose their
| Jobs when that trade begins tc
disappear. These men in turn
can no longer spend their earn
ings where they had been going
to support still other wage earn
ers.
Back on the farm the endless
chain works in the diminished
supplies needed for those wh'
were in the mill, for those VIII
were in the shops that suppliet
the mill hands with their foot
and clothing. Out in the forest

Of the 325, 900 men reported
out of work in New York City
last week, the Association for
Improving the Condition of the
Poor say that for the most part
they are men who have homes
and families to support. The
superintendent is positive that if
the number given above were re-
vised at all they should be revis-
ed upward. Of the total num-
Der only about 10000 are "out-
casts" Although the winter has
been exceptionally mild, there
are 10000 men out of work in
the building trades alone. Of
cloak and suit makers there are
18, 900 out of work; of unskilled
laborers, 100000. AS the super
intendent says, this vast army of
unemployed are out of work SIM
ply because there is no work for
them to do.

DEFENDS HUSBAND.
Mrs. Ncisz Blames Tragedy on The
"Other Woman"

Richmond, Va, April 9:--Between
sobs and tears Tuesday in her home
at 1928 West Marshall street, Mrs.
Phillip l.. ;Neisz, wife of the police
sergeant who took his life by sending
a pistol ball crashing through his skull
late Monday night Ia moment after
killing of Mrs. Roberta Lester, with
bullet from the same revolver IN her
home at TIA West Broaa street, blam-
ed Mrs Lester, who was an attrac
i've Young woman of pretty refined
features, for the tragedy.
"Mv husband was a good mar"
said Mrs. Neisz, wiping her eyes, "and
Int for that woman this awful thing
would never have happened. She
kent on following him and wouldn't
leave him alone. I warned her to
mind her own business but it did no
rood. She had a husband of her own.
It was last June that first discov-
cred that she and Sergeant Nelsz
knew each other. The sergeant was
laid up with scalded leg. One cay
he received bouquet of flowers with
a note attached to them. And l read
the note and SAW that it came from
Mrs, Lester. l did not know who s?f
was. but told the Sergeant that ne
ouoht not to accept the flowers. The
note said that an answer was expected
bv the messenger boy, but she never
got any, as the boy took back the
flowers and nothing else. Later, Mrs.
Lester came up in the neighborhood
of our home. She did not, howevc
come in.
Sergeant Neisz was high tempered
and at tSiles I was very much afraH
of him. But he had many good traits
to offset this. He was a good provider
and generous to a fault. There was
nothing that his children could not
have if they expressed the wish.
"On Monday the SERGEANT happen
ed to be in one of his ugly moods, and
for a while I feared for my own life.
He was in an awful temper over some
thing, and knew that other woman
had something to TO with it. No, he
did not threaten to kill me yesterday
as reported. I was merely afraid that
he would 20 so. But 1 was not sur
pr:sed when I learned of the terrible
tragedy. I somehow or other thought
when he left home that he might
not come back alive"

feet he struck it rich, it seems. lie
says that his work will require the
services of 500 men and that the tie

The rich black fluid he has struck
seems to be in abundance. For years
it has been believed there was oil
there and just after the war
a. we'll was started, but the COM
pany failed before they had gone
down two hundred feet.
The section in which the oil was
discovered is pierced by the Holston

also passes through it. The fa2il!ties
for shipping the oil are therefore Of
