OUR FINAL WORD.

The campaign of 1916 Is closed. so
far as The Independent is concerned.
Our last word has been spoken; we
have made our last appeal for the can
didates we believe best fitted TO serve;
we have uttered our last word against
the ones we believe less fit. The
strife is ended, and in our next issue
we will record the will OF the people
as expressed at the polls.
We are glad that II Is over. II is
with supreme relief that We look
ahead. for the scene is roseate and
peaceful. II is like passing from a
storm tossed ocean to calm waters
with a blue sky.
Viewed in the retrospect. We have a
little to regret. AT times the spirit
Of combativeness has dominated sober
judgment and bitterness crept in where
il had no place. In the rush of our
daily labors. words frequently were
not we'll weighed. and impulsivc
thoughts were given expression which
might better have been left unspoken.
Blu; all this only proves us human.
Man has erred from the beginning of
time, and will continue to do SO until
touched with Divinity. The red cor.
puscles in his blood. the heritage of
prehistoric ancestors. will assert
themselves; savage instincts will con.
troll. and men will fight and they will
he filled with desire TO injure those
who oppose them.
And he reaps what he sows: he par
takes OF the bitter fruits intended for
the other. II is the unerring law OF
compensation and retribution.
so We are glad that it overwith.
Looking back we have some regrets.
but there is one supreme consolation
we have been sincere. Looking
ahead there is great satisfaction, foi
regardless OF the fruits OF our labors.
regardless OF whether the principals OF
Democracy or Repubiicanism win. Old
Glory will wave triumphantly.

A WORD BY HON.
P. A. M'CARRAN

Ny position with reference TO the
Pittman land bill has been and is well
known TO the people of this state. Ny
attitude, however, must not be con-
strued as even tending to impugn the
honesty or sincerity of the author of
the bill. My opposition TO the meas
ure is not to the making Of a grant OF
land. but 10 the form OF the bill as il
now stands before the committee on
public lands.
Honest differences Of opinion among
men on measures OF importance is one
thing; unwarranted innuendo and
limited aspersion Is another. The for
mer seeks TO impugn the motive. with
out attempting to aid or correct. The
former usually looks to a common
welfare: the latter may serve a selfish
purpose.
The splendid service rendered by
Senator Pittman to this nation at a
time when service was essential. his
valuable support OF the president in
matters Vial 10 the economic welfare
OF the country. his active participation
in great matters OF national import
ance. all of which was a test OF his
integrity-these are the vital issues
that subordinate all others. and are
the standards by which he should be
measured. These are the tests TO be
applied. and by these larger services
he should be judged. An impartial
consideration of these things removes
Senator Pittman from the atmosphere
that might be poisoned by small critl.
cism uttered by those who would seek
self-aggrandizement or individual gain
and places him in a realm OF the
larger things worthy OF my endorse
men; and OF the endorsement OF our
people.
