Sharp County record., 1916-02-25

MA A number of newspapers in this
district are loud in their declaration
that Congressman W. A. Oldfield
Stands on his record for reelection.
That is very good, and every honest
/. man in the district who desires
honest public service should be
I proud of that fact, because if Mr..
Oldfield stands on his record the
people have perfect right to know
What that record is. If Mr.. Oldfeld
will not come back among the peo-
pie who have been supporting him
Tor years and enter into frank
and intelligent discussion of his own
\ record, FROM THE SAME STUMP
With those who are making the
4ravcst sort Of charges against his
record and at the same time ask
the intelligent citizenship of this
country to continue to support him,
What must be thought of the man?
II he stands on his record, let him
Come back home and stand few
days. Again, if Mr.. Oldiield will
bot publicly defend his record and
honestly tell the people what that
record is, face to face with his op.
ponents, is any candidate for cong
TESS, or any citizen Or taxpayer in
error when he looks into that rec.
ord for himself, since the record of
every public official is public prop
erty2
That brings up another thought.
There are some men who are going
TO support Mr. Oldfeld in this race,
no difference what charges are al
legged and proved against him.
Some of these are would-be leaders
of the people, and only they and
Mr. Old6eld know why they con-
tinue to support q man In the face
of the fact that they are unable to
point to his public service as a
thing of benefit or credit to the
people. The everyday man seems
not to have so much interest in Mr.,
Oldfeld, and the time has fully ar
rived when this latter sort of man
wants to know what Congressman
" Oldfeld Is doing In congress- He
Ought to know. He has a citizens
right to know You now find Mr.
W Oldfeld's leaders declaring he Is so
busy In congress he cannot come
to his home people and defend him
self and his friends. They evident
ly think the everyday man has
lost his senses. The people know
that oiten-it occurred In very re-

cent weeks-the president of the
United States leaves Washington for
a speech-making tour of the coun-
try. In the name of good sense,
if the president of the country can
do that, how comes it that the
country or congress would suffer if
Mr.. Oldfeld should leave Washing
ton for a short time? Very busy
but doing what?
AT the top and bottom of this
column is presented what the op-
position claims are pages from Mr..
Oldfields account with firm Of
New York cotton gamblers. If
these pages are true Mr.. Oldfeld is
a cotton gambler. Every demo-
cratic platform for years has de-
clared against this nefarious way
of robbing the Southern farmer.
The people have heard Mr.. Oldfeld
denounce this sort Of industrial
robbery, and elevated him to office
on his word that he would oppose
it In congress, but the record shows
that he has voted for it and done it
himself.
One OF these dates show that at
the season the page was made, Mr..
0ld6eld's district was suffering from
one of the worst drouths in history,
The fields Of Mr. Oldfeld's constitu-
ents we're devasted and the pockets
of the people were we'll near empty
yet what relief did Mr.. Oldfeld
bring themY His money, hand
some salary given him by the votes
of the people, went to the wolves Of
New York to gamble in the price
of their principal staple, in company
with men who would fail to recoe-
nize a cotton stalk If they should
see one.
1t Is very well known that his
opponents cannot 90 to Washing
ton, lariat Mr.. Oldfeld, bring him
back to these hills and force him to
answer their charges against his Of
fetal career. He has had copy of
the charges, or at least their nature,
and the challenge Is he busyY
The Record does not want to do
Mr. 0ldfeld an injustice, We pre-.
sent this as only a small part of
his bad record, and If he will come
back to his district, meet his op'
ponenls on the stump, deny this
charge and prove II untrue, we
shall take pleasure in making all
proper amends publicly to him, to
his friends and to our readers,

JUNIOR RECEPTION

On Friday evening of last week,
the Rothsehild park pavilion was the
scene of a very pretty party, the an
nual Junior prom, given by the Jun
iors to this years graduating class.
Only the members of the Senior and
Junior classes, former graduates of
the high school. with husbands or
wives, the parents of this years class.
the Board of Education, and the public
school teachers, were present.
On entering the pavilion, the simple.
but very effective decorations, gave
a CHEEKY welcome. In tribute to the
Senior class the color scheme was
green and white. and the decorations
were of an attractive nature. Large
green boughs and streamers of green
and white were used in the dancing
hall. The reception committee in
cluded Prin. and Mrs. l. c. Painter.
and members of the Junior class. The
grand march was led by Arthur GoerI-
ing, president of the Junior class. and
Miss Florence Weik, secretary. after
which the evening was taken up in
dancing. The Redowa. Waltz. Hest

danced, and the music was furnished

THE HIGH COST OF STRIKING

The threatened strike of 400, 200
railway employees is serious matter.
A million persons depend upon these
400, 900 for support. The great travel
ing public depends upon them for
facilities of travel and for bread for
the household and milk for babies.
This is more serious than the inter
ruption of trade or travelling. 1t
means suffering and death. Who
shall pay this bill?
Three-quarters of million are
working in the coal fields, providing
fuel for 100000 families and a
quarter of million of manufacturing
establishments, employing 100000
men and women. The terrifying re-
suits of strike of the coal miners is
obvious. Who will pay this bill ?
Two great labor strikes bid fair tC
involve 100000 employees. Aside
from the general and widespread dis
tress that strike of the railroad
men and miners would create, we
must consider the suffering that must
follow among the strikers themselves
and their families. Who will pay
this bill =?
The war in Europe has given al
impetus to our prosperity. Shall We
have an interruption of this flowing
tide which has only begun to flow, OF
shall justice and reason prevail Sc
that the expansion of business car
continue?
1t is fortunate that thus far nc
harsh words have been heard and nc
bitter expressions from either the
railway employees or the coal miners
nor from the railroads or the mine
operators. Can they not reason to
gether as fellow workers interested
in industrial peace?
Can they not be brought carefully
to consider the high cost of striking
and its effect on the high cost o.
living And who will pay the bill
The dear common people. Les
lies.

ONE CAUSE OF PROSPERITY

Gwen the South is now prosperous,
thanks to the secretary of the treas
ury's wise and liberal administration
of the treasury department." said
Senator Tillman in the senate the
other day.
What is back of that statement :?
Just this-the fact that the secretary
of the treasury has placed the excess
of government funds where the actual
business need has been greatest and
has disregarded the republican plan
of depositing the government millions
where the speculative demand was
strongest. The governments millions
went to aid the South in the fall of
1914 and the winter of 1915 when the
war shut off great part of the
South's cotton market. Because this
money did not go into Wall Street
banks to be turned over at exorbitant
interest rates to speculative uses.
The South is now prosperous.
And what does this mean in the
North? 1t is one of the causes of
the even, general and unprecedented
distribution of prosperity in the
North. The South is now able to
buy literally in the North and is
doing so. That is tremendous
stimulus to northern commerce.
