have overlooked that.
Yes, he did that, too.

On the streets of Batesville Cong
ressman Oldfield offered US that
place, saying at the timethat, while
the salary of the job might not in
terest us so much, it would give a
good opportunity to see the people
and get business for the Record.
When we refused that offer Cong
ressman Oldfield gave vent to the
remark that we were the "d-est
man" he had ever known in all his
political experience; that while
many other men we're running
their CUTS out" for positions we
were one whom he could give a
place
Now then, the reader will take
our word for the above paragraph
Or not take it. We have no proof,
as the offer was made in private.
However, every letter referred to in
this article is now in the Record Of
Gce and subject to inspection by
those who may be disposed to doubt
our statements.
We repeat it, who is the liar?
Who says now that the editor of
the Record is not supporting Con-
bressman Oldfield because he would
not give us something?
We have eternal confidence in
the truth. Nothing in this world
beats the truth. If this article is a
lie, it is big enough to ruin the
editor of this paper here and here
after, and we know it.
A square deal always goes with
the truth. We preach a square deal
for everybody, because we have
eternal confidence in h a t, too.
because we believe in a square deal
We here and now offer Congressman
0ldfeld, or any friend he has any
where on earth, all the space they
can consume in this paper if they
want to deny or refute the contents
Of this article.
This article would not have been
written If Congressman Oldfeld had
been disposed to tell the truth, to
give us a fair deal, and take his
hounds off of a trail that has all the
time been cold, if they had only
known it.
Congressman Oldfeld's papers al
lege that the editor Of the Record
always supported their very precious
pet until two years ago, when, so
they allege, he refused to give us a
postoflice.
That, like the majority Of their
vomit, is untrue.
The first race Mr.. Oldfeld ever
made for congress the Record was a
supporter Of h is opponent. The
second race he made the Record
supported him heartily, as against a
man who lived In the extreme south
end OF the district and whom we
thought to be no better man or con-
eressional timber than Mr. Oldfeld'
Any man Is liable to make mis-
takes. The next time the Record
supported Congressman Oldfeld ii
did so with a certain protest from
It's own conscience, but We thought, as
he was In congress, he ought to have
ample opportunity to show what is
in him. In his last race the Record
did not support him, for the reason
that 1t had by that time discovered
to Its own satisfaction what Is In
him.
The Record takes this opportunity
to declare that 1t has no quarrel
with any man because OF his polit'
ical preference, II any man or
every man In Sharp county believes
Congressman 0ld6eld to be a good
man and d competent congressman,
that Is his or their business, not
ours. We believe he Is neither, and
that Is our business. If any man or

A Dirty Bluff Game Put To Rest

this paper never mentioned the
Evening Shade postoffice to him in
any way, shape, form or fashion
and never gave him the slightes,
intimation that we wanted or woulC
accept the place.
How can we prove that the edit
or of this paper did not want the
Evening Shade postoffice?
|. By the fact that among the
first signatures to the petition and
recommendation circulated in the
interest of the man who is now
postmaster at Evening Shade ap-
pears the signature of the editor Of
this paper.
2. By the fact that the editor oil
this paper did not take the required
civil service examination, without
which no sane man could have
hoped to secure the Office, even
with the sympathy of the congress
man. The civil service examination
is imperative, even if it is farce in
numerous instances. The fact that
it is a farce in numerous instances
is easily proved by the fact that
those applicants making best grades
have not secured postoffices many
times throughout this congressional
district, Sharp county not excepted.
8. By the fact that we are able
to produce a letter written by Cong
ressman 0ldfield after the civil SER
vice examination to one of his
friends, in which he wondered why
the editor of this paper did not
take the examination and the post
office.
4. By the fact that Congress-
man Oldfeld personally. told one Of
his supporters in Evening Shade
that if the editor of this paper had
applied for the postoffice and stood
the examination he would have
given him the office. This, how
ever, might be hard to prove, be-
cause the man referred to might
not want to belch the truth If called
upon. Some people are strange
that way
Now who has lied?
The editor Of this paper would
not trade consciences with his baby
if he were as clear of everything as
he is clear of having ever, at any
time in life, asked a favor of Cong.
ressman 0ldfeld.
While we are at 1t, why not prove
some other thingsY
Why do Congressman Oldfeld's
paid henchmen not allege that the
editor of this paper is peeved al
their Baal because he would no,
give us his private secretaryshipl
Had they not thought of thatY
Congressman Oldfeld did offer us
his private secretaryship numerous
times. Finally, when he saw that
we would not accept the place a,
all as a permanent position, he at
tempted to have US take the place
even for one session of congress,
In a letter, now before us, dated
September 6, 1909, he asks us to &c
to congress with him for one term
as his private secretary, and says
you Of course could not make
anything out Of the trip at $l25 q
month, but you could see the city
and we could have a good time."
That good time" is the sum and
substance of Congressman Oldfeld's
service to that part Of the public
that does not want or does not gei
a job at his hands,

Intending picnickers on Sunday, or
those who wish to secure a tasteful
delicatessen meal the day before and
avoid cooking, will have an unusual
opportunity next Saturday to accom-
plish a double purpose, for ladies of
the Sacred Heart church, Punahou,
and generous friends will hold a deli
catessen sale on Saturday.
The sale will be held in the old Sachs
store at Fort and Beretania street, be-
ginning at 10 O'Clock, and will con-
tinue until the big supply of eatables
is sold. 1t is for the benefit of the
church, and the major part Of the pro-
ceeds will probably be applied on the
purchase of an organ, which is badly
needed in the Punahou chapel. The
sale was originally set for a week
from next Saturday. but has been
changed so that it will not conflict
with other semi-public functions, the
garden fete and bazaar, to be held on

it public, intimated that it had not
been particularly favorable as con-

The climax came late in the even

reconsideration of Achi's amendment
to section six of the proposed charter.

1t was then that Chillingworth rose
and moved the reconsideration of the
amendment. He made the motion with
the intention Of seeing it defeated.
Had the motion to reconsider been
defeated the subject would have been
closed for the rest of the session and
the ward system would have inevi-
tably been consigned to the ash heap.
But IL the motion to reconsider was
not brought up then 1t might have
been brought up again tonight when
the conservatives were in the major
