SENTIMENTS THE
‘PEOPLE INDORSE
“After due consideration of the
matter, I do not believe I shall
have the time to make the cam
paign in the short time we have,
without neglecting my official du
ties, and that 1 will not do. The
fact that “others do it” does not
satisfy my conscience. I think an
officer should first comply with the
contract he makes with the peo
ple when they elect him, and prove
faithful to his duty in the office he
has, before he asks the people for
other favors.”
The foregoing manly and com
mendable statement is from Judge
Eugene Lankford’s letter announ
ing that he will not be in the race
for congress. It shows a devotion
to duty, an honesty of purpose and
a purity of motive that is indeed
commendable.
It has become a common prac
tice in Arkansas politics for a man
to seek higher honors and a more
lucrative office while holding an
office to which the people have
elected him and to which he has
taken a solemn oath that he will
faithfully discharge the duties.
The practice has become so com
mon that but little is thought of
it, yet it is manifestly unfair and
unjust when a man who is under
contract with the people to per
form certain official duties, neg
lects those duties and goes out
campaigning for a higher and
more lucrative office.
It is refreshing to find a state
official of Judge Lankford's prom
nence expressing such sentiment
as this and The Journal is sure the
people heartily indorse the position
he takes. We need more men in
public life who possess the man
hood, the patriotism and the mor
al courage shown by Judge Lank
ford. _
This a funny old world, and its
children are just as funny. Who
thinks he can please mankind will
die of a broken heart. One man
blames you for what you do. One
man despises you if you talk,
another thinks you a fool’s twin
brother if you do not talk. One
mauls the ambient atmosphere if
his name appears in his local pa
per; another slugs the yielding void
if his name is left out of the paper.
If you try to be friendly with one
man he thinks you have an ax to
grind; if you pay little attention to
another he calls you a selfish
5 wellhead.
Senator Clarke is one of the
ablest men in the United States
senate and no one ever thought
for a moment that he was afraid
to meet Judge Kirby on the stump,
as Kirby loudly proclaimed. In
point of ability, few deliberative
bodies on the face of the earth
equal that of the United States
senate. Senator Clarke is the Dem
ocratic leader of that body, and
such leaders are not chosen for
their looks or their geniality, but
for their ability and fearlessness.
Senator Clarke meets the brainiest
men of the nation in debate and
usually succeeds in making
quite a respectable showing.
Come to think of it we can name
but very few prominent politicians
in Arkansas whom we believe
would be afraid to meet Judge
Kirby on the stump. We fear the
judge has over-estimated his ora
torical ability.
With some people, a congress
man’s ability is measured by the
manner in which he dispenses
postoffiee appointments. This may
be the proper manner in which to
judge a man’s ability for construct
ive statesmanship but if so The
Journal confesses that it has been
wrongly informed.
Has anybody heard Bro. Hum
phries say Amen to what Judge
Lankford says about an officer
first complying with the contract
he has with the people before ask
ing for other favors?
After having challenged Sena
tor James P. Clarke to meet him
in a joint campaign, it looks rather
like the balky horse in Judge Kir
by to refuse to go on with his own
game. _
It is our charity, of course, that
covers a multitude of other peo
ples’ sins. _
The chestnut trees are becoming
extinct—but we still have Judge
: Kirby. ________
A politician does not have to be
an orator to speak well of himself.

EVANS ASKS RE-ELECTION
Circuit Clerk James T. Evans
[ announces in today's paper as a
| candidate for re-election.
Many good, able and conscien
! tious men have served the county
in this capacity but it is safe to
say that no one ever gave the
countv better service, who was
more courteous and accommoda
ting to the public, and more de
servedly popular than Mr. Evans
Good service entitles him to a
second term, which he will, of
course, be accorded without op
position.
WILL NOT RUN
—
Joe Magness who recently mov
ed to Batesville is here this week
looking after some business mat
ters at his farm out on Dota. Mr.
Magness has been prominently
j mentioned as a probable candidate
for county clerk, but he informs
The Journal that he has decided
that he will not be & candidate at
[this time. ---
