NO TIME TO FORGET A
FAITHFUL SERVANT

The Journal believes the
people of this Congressional
District vii not be unmindful
Of the faithful services render
ed our country during the pres
ent war crisis by Congressman
W. \. Oldfield when they 60
10 the polls 10 vote next Tues
day.
There are two good men OPP
posing Congressman 0ldfield,
and SO far as The Journal
knows they have conducted a
clean campaign, and there have
been no efforts to resort to per
sonal mud-slinging, as was
done two years age.
One of Mr.. Oldfield's OPP
ponents has purchased some
space in this issue Of The Jour
nal which he is using over his
own signature. In one of these
articles he criticises Congress
man Oldfield for not having
secured the passage Of a law
guaranteeing bank deposits.
Such a law may, or may not
be a good one. We do not
know, because there is no ma
ton IN the world having such
law in force as a national
law. One or two states have
state laws guaranteeing bank
deposits, and if the people of
Arkansas really want such i
law, it can be more easily Sc
cured through the legislature.
The gentleman VINO is now
critieising Congressman Old
field for failure to secure the
passage of a bank guarantee
law, admits that he served two
terms in the Arkansas legisla-
ture. The Journal has failed
to find anything in the legisla-
tive records to show that Mr..
Hodges made any effort to Sc
cure the passage of such a law
when he was in the legisla-
ture. If he is sincere, in his adj
of such a law, why did
Hodges not fight for the pas
sage Of such a law when he
was in the legislature?
When a man has an oppor-
tunity to do something himself,
and makes no effort to do It, |
how are the people going to
know that he would do differ
entity if they gave him another
chance?
The fact is, Congressman
Oldfield's record in Congress
compares favorably with that
of any man in Congress, and |
in fact he stands higher in the
lower house than any member
Of the Arkansas delegation. He
is close to President Wilson
whom he has supported most

NAV Be a Ten-Billion Loan.

Congress will be formally asked, IN a
few DAYS, 10 grant authority for another
great loan for war purposes. II Is SAID
the amount will be ten billions Of dollars.
Even with the knowledge Of our cnor-
nous financial transactions OF the past
wear, tins sum seems tremendous. A Jew
vears ago such q loan would not have
been thought of The man who sug-
gested it, for any purpose, would have
been set down as an amazingly eXtrava-

of serious consideration, as though 1t
were but little more than financial prop
osition of scarcely extraordinary pro
portions.
The proposition, however, has yet p
run the gauntlet Of Congress, and may
be amended Careful consideration may
show that a smaller loan would prove
sufficient for all purposes in sight, and
in that event the limit would be reduced.
