HE QUESTION, IF YOU PLEASE

Some newspapers are fair and
souare. Others are not Some
Newspapers will say that one Of its
Exchanges made statement that
II did not make, we'll knowing that
heir readers will never know the
difference, in order to berate the
Exchange and attempt to make a
point in favor of whatever argu-
ment they are trying to support.
There are other newspapers that
will not do that, and have no am
y bition toward proficiency in that
Bort of journalism.
The last issue of the Newark
Journal began an article with this
statement:
The Sharp County Record tries
to poke fun at Billy Oldfeld be-
cause Mr.. Oldfield was born in a
lOg house"
Now then, those people who DO
mot read the Record and who DO
read the Newark Journal are ready
Ito say, provided they have not pre-
viously learned that the Journal is
n apt to warp the truth to suit the
occasion or circumstances, that the
N Record has said Congressman Old
N field was born in log house and
n that the Record has been poking
" fun at him on that account, neither
n statement being true. A log house
has not been mentioned in connec-
"A ton with Mr.. Oldfeld save by that
newspaper band that guards his
N candidacy with zeal greater than
\ which the angels never exercised in
N the care of a charge committed to

A of newspaper men, any and all of
4 whom can, for political effect at
n least, close their watchful eyes and
in pleasant fancies see the young
child, now grown and blossomed
into a congressman Of his country,
a in swaddling clothes and kicking
the daubing from hut, located
n variously all over the Second cong
ressional district Of Arkansas. These
are the people who build log house
castles in the air and weave into
them the political aspirations of
their patron saint every two years
without fail.
That statement from the Journal
concerning the Record is inexcus-
able, and can be accounted for only
on two theories. Either the Jour-
nal cannot read and understand, or
the Journal prefers to misState the
truth for reasons best known to It.
self.
In Sharp county, where news
paper readers read with intelligence
and repeat with honesty, those who
read the Records article about the
birthplace Of Congressman Oldfield
know that the Record did no such
thing as the Journal badly ALLEGES
We believe they will testify for us
that the Record Is not the sort Of
paper to poke fun at any man be-
cause of any humble conditions
that surround his present or past
At any rate, If some interested par
ty will make a canvas Of the more
humble homes of this county and

The Record did attempt to pok'
Sharp County record., 1915-12-03

Iun at great nulnDer Ol neWSpd-
pers in this congressional district
that are attempting to manufacture
a great commoner out of Mr.. Old
field, Bill Oldfield, if you please,
when all their efforts cannot make
him look or act the part, and that
attempt hit the spot, if we are to
judge from the angry tones of a
number of exchanges that have
reached our table within the last
few days.
The Record did attempt to poke
fun at the laborious and ludicrOus
efforts of a great number of news
papers to manufacture a statesman
out of Mr. Oldfeld, Bill Oldfeld, if
you please, when they cannot put
the earmarks on him, and that at
tempt must have hit the spot, if we
are to judge from the amount of
small shot a number of exchanges
are now sending in our direction.
However, we cannot but cOngratu-
late these newspapers upon the
fact that they are doing as we'll in
the manufacturing line as could be
expected, considering the material
they have to work with.
The Record understands thorough
ly that Congressman Oldfeld has
the almost solid support of the
newspapers Of this district, but we
understand further that the election
of a congressman will be partici-
pated in by the people, and hence
forth if the Record chooses to take
any part in the congressional race
it will appeal to the honest voters
of this county, those who have no
axes to grind, from the official rec
ord Mr.. Oldfeld has made for him-
self, which is public property and
open for discussion. If a number
of exchanges will confne their re-
marks concerning Mr.. 0ldfeld to a
discussion of his official record they
will either quit supporting him or
support him with greater degree
of silence and an extra covering OF
sackcloth and ashes.
The Record has been giving and
taking with many newspapers of
this state for quite a long time.
Both experience and observation
have taught us something of the
ability of a lot of them and their
disposition toward fair deal. For
that reason we are not surprised
that when the Record makes the
slightest unfavorable mention of
Mr.. Oldfield a number Of his choicest
admirers, who WELD the pen with
such unanimous readiness and ac-
cord, should rear on their hind feet
and begin a mess about the editor
of the Record, as If he were the is
sue or as if he had no right on the
earth. The best defense Of Mr..
Oldfeld we have ever seen made
by most newspapers is an attack
upon somebody else, which is the
shabbiest defense In the world
among sensible people. II saying
alleged smart things about those
who conscientiously oppose Mr..
Oldfeld does not qualify him for
congress, then 1t would appear from
the testimony Of his loudest friends
that his retirement would not dis
turb congress or the usual and nat
ural movements Of the govern
ments machinery,
What has Mr.. 0ldfeld done dur.
IND his four terms In coneressi
