OLDFIELD MAKES GREAT SPEECH
MAKING TOUR LAWRENCE COUNTY
lion. W. A. Oldfield, con
pressman of this district in
company with friends made a
whirl-wind and record break
ing tour of the western district
of this county on Saturday of
last week. In a Ford machine
the party left Walnut Ridge at
6 o’clock and arrived at Lynn,
the first speaking appointment
at 8:45. Here he was met by
by John Morgan and spoke for
one hour. Leaving immediately
for Catheytown, the next stop.
Here they arrived at 10:45 and
found a fine crowd in waiting.
The machine was stopped un
der a big tree and the stores and
shops all closed and he was in
troduced by young Mullins.For
another hour he gave an ac
count of his faithful steward
ship, and amid the cheers of his
loyal friends he left for Jesup.
Here he was met by enthusi
astic friends.Arriving at Smith
ville he found a packed house
waiting and after a few well
chosen words by Squire Bascon
Rainey, he told of how he had
battled in congress for the peo
ple’s l'ights and had by dint of
hard work and faithful duty
risen to a place on the powerful
committee of the ways and
means and how he was striving
and working to bring ereditand
glory back to the Second Con
gressional District and to Ark
ansas. The hearty handshakes
• and cheers told in no uncertain
tones of the confidence the peo
ple hurl in him and how they
were glad to see the blacksmith
boy from the little shop in
Franklin, Izard county rise to
the top and forge his way to
the front.From there he left for
Denton and arrived at 5 p. m.,
where they were waitingtohear
him. Again he told them the
story of his life and its strug
gles and his work for the peo
ple. Here he bid the wetern dis
trict and its people good bye
and began the last lap of the
journey and arrived at Portia
the last stop at 7 :30 p. m. Here
was the largest meeting of the
day. The house waspackedand
many looked in at the windows.
The crowd reached back to the
walks. Hon. J. E. McCall intro
duced him and although al
ready having spoken five times
he was fresher and better than
ever. The large crowd hung
his earnestness and his ar
gument was indeed convincing.
Many crowded around him at
its close and pledged their sup
port. It was a great day for the
congressman and showed not
only his ability but his physical
endurance, lie has now com
pleted this entire district and
from expressions heard on ev
ery hand he will be returned |
without any doubtandisstrong- ]
er in the district than ever be- '
fore. Mr. Oldfield has been
continually in congress since
his election until this summer
and has taken advantage ofthe
adjournment of Congress to
meet again the people of his
district and to get better ac
quainted with them and their
needs.
It is freely predicted by his
friends and also by the Blade
that if he remains in congress
that he will be the democratic
floor leader in a short time.—

JACKSON COURT ADJOURN
The Jackson Circuit Court,
which had been in session at
Newport for five weeks, ad
journed last Saturday.
During the term 41 .jurytrials
were had, four being for first
degree murder, four personal
injury cases and the remainder
being of minor importance.Ten
persons, eight negroes and two
white men, were given senten
ces to the penitentiary. In all
132 cases were stricken from
the docket. The prompt and
able manner in which the busi
ness of the term was dispensed
has occasioned much praise for
Judge Coleman, as it is recog
nized as quite a record for a
court to complete such an un
important and heavy term in so
short a time.

Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would h_ /e severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me tor a while, but I was
soon confined to rr 1 £d again. After
Cut, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
‘ Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.

THINKS ARKANSAS
PLAN A GOOD ONE
Gov. Brewer of Mississippi De
sires to Adopt Our Plan of
Managing State Institutions.
Governor Brewer announces
that in his forthcoming mes
sage to the legislature he will
embody a recommendation for
the establishment of one board
of trustees for all the elemosy
nary institutions of the State.
The idea is in accord with the
idea of concentrating authority
in a few and placing responsi
bility with the authority. The
plan of Governor Brewer has
been favorably commented on
by statesman and the press of
the state.—Greenville (Miss.)
Democrat.
Arkansas adopted this plan
last year, competent business
men were put in charge and
satisfactory improvements, in
all the institutions as far as we
have noted the reports, are
evident. The affairs ^>f all the
institutions are being systema
tized and put on a strictly busi
ness basis, and both from the
standpoint of efficiency and
economy the new plan in Ark
ansas has proven a success.—

BRYAN LEADS PEACE
PRAYER ON MOUNTAIN
Inspiring Scene on Hot Springs
Mountain When Gathering
Prays for Peace.
Hot Springs, Oct. 1.—Dele
gates to the Southern District
Efficiency convention of the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.,
today concluded their sessions
with an open-air“peace prayer
service” on the summit of Hot
Springs Mountain. Surrounding
William J. Bryan, former sec
retary of state, they prayed for
peace in Europe and that a
spirit of Christianity rather than
a spirit of force might govern
the world.
Mr. Bryan was the principal
speaker at the concluding ses- \
sion of the convention. He de
clared the country should be
grateful that we have in the ‘
White House “a man bending
every effort and energy for!
peace” rather than a '‘jingo.”It
is the duty of the United States j
to maintain its position as the i
strongest neutral power and j
shoulder its responsibility when
the time comes for peace be
tween the European nations to ;
be worked out.
It was an inspiring scene.Mr. •
Bryan had just delivered an;
address before the Southern
District Conference Church Ef-1
ificiency Board U. S. A., in
which he said: ‘1 believe if
there was ever a ques
tion on which the referendum
should be invoked it should be
on this war question, and I want
the women who must beartheir
part of the burdens of the war
to have a vote and it should be
that the man who votes forwar
should be the first to fill the
regiments, and that the man
who votes against war should
be left to fill the reserve col
umns, and I shall continue to
.insist that the jingo editors
' v ho are urging war shall be
given thehonor of the first com
mand, and that they be permit
! led to have the glory of death
j first in such a war.
United States Unchallenged
“If we ever go to war let it
| be our own war. God forbid
that this nation ever tie itself to
| the quarrels of warringnations.
■ We must make our own war if
i we are ever to have war so that
we can make our own peace;
, but never let us be joined as an
ally where others must speak
for us.
“It looks like the differences
i with Germany have passed. No
nation is challenging us, butout
of the mad spirit of the present
conflict if there should come
such a challenge we would say
i no, we will not get down in the
mire to follow a false standard,
i Imagine all the trouble we
would have now if we had in
the White House a jingo look
ing forward. We should be
grateful that we have in the
White House a man bending
I every human energy and en
deavor for peace.”
Mr. Bryan took for his topic
an answer to the doctrine that
might makes right.
“The nation that adopts a
| doctrine that might makes
right,” sid the speaker, “has no
complaint to its citizen who de
clares that dynamite makes
right. They talk of prepared
ness for war, and say that pre
paredness for war will make
for peace, but -was that the si
tuation in Europe where a gen
eration has been spent in pre
paredness for war and then the
war came?”
Duty Above Right
Speaking of the American
lives lost in the torpedoing of
ships, Mr.Bryan said that there
might be a right in favor of be
ing on those ships, but there
was a duty above right, and
that the duty of every man citi
zen in such an hour was to stay
within th; 1 bounds where he
would not involve his country
in trouble. “A country which
has the right to take a widow’s
son and place him in the front,
of the battle line can make her
citizen stay at home when there ;
is danger abroad.”

tage this country had in being
the strongest neutral power,
Mr. Bryan said that it was a
position it was the duty of this
nation to maintain.He said that
when the time came for peace
to be worked out, it was the
responsibility of this nation to
be in a position to contribute its
portion.
“There is not a soldier boy
who falls on a foreign battle
field,” said-he, “but whatthere
is somewhere within this coun
try an echo of sadness. That is
how close this nation is bound
to all the warring nations. And
that makes the obligation the
stronger that we should remain
absolutely neutral and be ready
