tor News candidacy was to be a test of the Harding administra- tion, and Senator New himself made that the issue in his cam paign. Administr ation organs were claiming his election when all the returns showed Beveridge far in the lead.
 It is clear that the Be, eridge majority is a vote of protest within the party rather than an indorsement of any affirmative principles or policies. A vote for Beveridge was the only way the Hoosier folk could show their disgust with the present Congress and the only way they could ans- wer the appeal to indorse the re- actionary Republican administra- tion. and therefore New was de- feated and Beveridge won.

Whats Wrong

Editor Spectator. Ozark; Dear
 Sir and Bro:-We read and hear
 people complain of their condition
 and what is wrong with the
 world today. Now let us be hon.
 est with ourselves and see what
 is wrong and make an honest at
 tempt to right that wrong. as we know that millions of our people are suffering for want of the necessary things they should have. First: we are now violat- ing the very laws of nature, we can't violate them and escape the penalty. Those laws are fixed laws, you can't change them, you can't alter them, they are the laws of our Great Maker Be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.' We SOW to graft. we reap grafters: we SOW deception, we reap hypo- crisy: we sow to falsehood, we reap liars: we SOW to wars. we reap murders, hence, since Will liam Sherman says war is h-l. we reap that h-l: we SOW to sell fishness. we reap strife; we SOW to ignorance. we reap prejudice and hatred. Now if this be true, as we must admit 1t is. and all mankind are of one Father and all are brothers then it follows that we must change our acts; that we must get in line of those fixed laws which are just and right. Some say sin IS the trouble. then what makes man sin? There isan object in view. Sin is the transgression of the law.
 Some say is the love of money why do people do wrong for money? Such as graft, steal. lie defraud, murder and rob to get 1t? They can't eat it, they can't wear it. as clothes it is useless m

that sense 1 will tell you it is not money itself but the things that 1t buys and controls, now we come down to hard boiled facts: what is it? It IS commodi- ty. the things we eat. wear and use such as food, clothing, shell ter. entertainment: the things that people create out of mother nature. now. as this IS true, this IS the reason why men lie, steal, murder, graft and violate all the great laws of nature. The word commodity" is 1t now by our great machinery of production, we can produce enough to feed and clothe the world. so the pro- blem of production has been solv- ed.
 Now the problem of division is yet to be solved. Now the work CT. or those that create. get sucn small share that he can't take from the market the amount he puts on the market, hence a great surplus remain. In other peoples hands chat causes them to lie, steal. murder and defraud which bring on wars. for other mark cts throws nation against nation in deadly combat and destroys Life and Property. The rich grow richer, the poor get poorer, until our.nation is.ruined morally, spiritually and socially. Now if the worker got more. there would be happy homes, happy children. intelligent people, who would love their country, their homes and their feliowman and their Maker, and where the wolf of hunger would be banished from our fair land. Then there would be no millionaires to bring wars for markets. no tramps at our back door, thieves and grafters would sneak away and our sons and daughters would be honor able boys and girls, and peace and prosperity would bless our country. our farmers mortgages would disappear, if the worker got justice that's rightly his. then Sin and Satan would lose their .heir power over us.

Dave Partain for Circuit Judge

Appearing elsewhere in this isshe of the Press-Argus will be found the announcement of At. torney Dave Partain. of Ozark, Franklin County. candidate for circuit judge of the Fifteenth Judicial District, composed of the Counties of Crawford. Frank in and Logan.
 Mir. Partain was born in the northern part of Johnson County. and while small boy his parents moved to Franklin County a neighboring country where he has resided all his life and where he is now we'll and favorably known to almost every man, woman and child. At the age of sixteen he was thrown on his own resources and was con- pelled to work his way though the schools he attended and in which he prepared himself for the successful career upon which he is now rapidly attaining as a lawyer. He has been actively engaged in the practice of law during the past ten year, pract- icing in the state and federal courts, both trial and appellate. throughout western Arkansas, winning number of very im- portant cases in the Supreme Court in the practice of his profession he has at all times dealt honestly and consientiously with his clients and fellow mem- bers at the bar.
 In the campaign of 1920 he was defeated for prosecuting attorney of the Dist. by small majority. although he carried two counties out of three and in his home town he was given one of the heavlst vote e, CT given a can didate that had opposition, Like
 he sterling Dem ocfat that he is, he was obedient to the dictates of Democracy and accepted his defeat smiingly and without complaint. While he has considerable and varied practice as a lawyer in al of the Courts yet he is comparatively a young man and with all of the energy and clear-sightedness so necessary in every pursuit of life and he is just of that age and experience when many of the most able JurlStS the county, ever had was called to the bench.
 In discussing his candidacy Mir. Partain declares that if elected he will endeavor to give the people of this district the very best that is in him, and that he will endeavor at all times to expedite the business of the court with as great saving of the taxpayers as possible consis- tent with a fair and just admin istration of the law.
 He declares that he will give to all men and to all interests the same just and equal consideration
The spectator., 1922-05-16

without regard to their stations in life, their wealth or their pov- erty, no matter how great or how small may be his influence. how rich or how poor, how exalted or how humble his station may be, it will be the studied aim of the court to see that all who come before 1t receive just and fair treatment. He declares 1t will be his sole ambition to serve no interest other than the truth and right. To see that the inter- ests of the whole people of the district are concerned and that equal justice to all prevails.
 In entering upon the race for judge of this district. MT. Par tain calls attention to the fact that his home county, Franklin, has never been represented on the bench in his district. as now composed, while this important office has been held continuously by judges from Logan County.
