TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There is
scarcely a campaign speech made,
platform demand written or a mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain of
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more blue sky" in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectrses of the bold.
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians in the
name of my Country than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE it en-
acted" than were ever concealed un-
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by =

that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, if they
could not shake plums off the tree Of
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
Tense of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri- |
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men |
followed the Star of Bethlehem and |
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the pillow or the staff of |
the Shepherd. The surest cure for |
tainted politics and machine rule is /
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm /
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
in legislative bodies, much
Of the trouble in government will dis
appear.

RAIN BENEFICIAL TO CROPS
Partial Season Had In This
Section Yesterday

A horse came in contact with a
live wire which was blown down
and was electrocuted.
Fort Smith also reports a high

A Mistake Made by Many

When you suffer pains and
aches by dayand sleep disturbing
bladder weakness by night, feel
tired, nervous and run down, the
kidneys and bladder should be
restored to healthy, strong and
regular action. 1t is a mistake to
postpone treatment. Foley Kid

sound, healthy condition and keep
them active and strong.

FARMER ROBBED
BY CROP HAND
WILL Afford HAS ODD
EXPERIENCE.
HELD UP In CORN FIELD
Hold-Up Man, Not Satisfied
With Results, Comes To
Town.

xeH1l Afford, q WnlUe HAL VIII
lives about three miles southeast
of Washington, was held up and
robbed by one Will Conway, col,
last Saturday morning at the
point of a shotgun, the rObber
only securing thirty cents. The
hold-up man was arrested and IS
now being held awaiting grand
jury action.
Afford was at work in his field
about o'clock Saturday morning
when Conway, who was a share
cropper on the formers farm,
emerged from behind a bush and
presented the shotgun, demand
ing his money. Mr.. Afford was
naturally very much surprised,
but he reached in his pocket and
got thirty cents, all he had on him
at the time, and started to step
closer and hand it to the negro.
He was then ordered not to APP
prOach nearer, but to flip" the
money over, which was done. On
securing the thirty cents, it APP
pears Conway decided so small
an amount was insufficient for
his needs, so he demanded more.
Afford told him he did not have
any more, but the negro insisted
that he get it and it was finally
agreed that he would come to
town and mortgage his mules to
secure the money. When this
agreement was reached it was
noon, the argument having lasted
three hours, so it was agreed that
they would come to town after
dinner and get the money.
In the afternoon CONWAY came
back to Mr.. Affords home, un-
armed this time, and the two
started to town in a wagon. Off
GERS in town were notified, how
ever, and were in waiting, ar
resting the negro on his arrival.
Conway talked as if he did not
realize that he had done anything
wrong. 1t seemed TO be a bust
ness proposition with him he
needed the money, had to have it,
and that thirty cents would not
answer the purpose at all. He
said the old gun was not loaded,
but evidently Mr.. Afford did not
care to take chances on this or he
would have ended the argument
sooner.
The negro was raised near
here, but spent several years in
Oklahoma, returning last year.
Conway was removed from the
county Jail Sunday by Sheriff
Boyett and it is supposed was
carried to Hope. 1t is said there
was rumor that the prisoner
was in danger of violence here
and this may have been commu-
nicated to the sheriff. and for this
reason he was removed.
Conway came in quietly with
the man he proposed to rob, was
