der, another one yonder, and they
would go to the parties to whom
these present claimants would sell
a little piece of land and dissatisfy
them, and the party would come
back and say, “1 understand you
have no title, and you have to pay
me back my money,” and all such
harassing things as that. Finally
Chapman & Dewey et al came to
Mr. Garfield, the Secretary of the
Interior, through their attorneys,
and Mr. Garfield reversed the two
decisions of Hoke Smith and Mr.
Hitchcock, and said, “The Govem
ernment has title to these lands.”
“Here is what I think would be
the quickest way out of this diffi
culty, and has always been my
contention about it. I like to talk
just straight from the shoulder.
This is what I have always want
en done: Cut out all this fol-de-rol
in this bill about quieting title to
the grantees either of the State or
the St. Francis levee board, and
just simply quiet title to the State
of Arkansas, because it was intend
ed Arkansas should have it. Then
let the various litigants go down
and settle the trouble. It may be
that it would work some hardship
on the little fellow, but the great
good of the public is what we
want.”
LETTER FROM CHAMP CLARK
Speaker Champ Clark makes the
following statement in a personal
letter to Mr. Oldfield:
House of Representatives U. S.
Washington, D. C. Marcli 22, 1910.
Hon. Wm. A. Oldfield,
House of Representatives.
My Dear Mr. OldfieldSome days
ago you a^ked me what is the custom
of Representatives introducing bills
by request of their Senators. My ob
servation is, that it is a very common
thing for members to introduce bills
In the House by request of their Senat
ors, and nobody ever supposed that a
bill introduced by request bound the
Representati ve in any manner whatso
ever or that he was in anyway respon
sible for it. It is simply a matter of
courtesy.
I have introduced bills in that man
ner myself, and on at least one occas
ion introduced one by request that I
was opposed to That was for a Mis
souri Senator.
Bills are also introduced by request
of persons other than senators. The
reason the words “by request" are
put on them, is, to show that the mem
ber introducing them is in no way re
sponsible for them and does not in
any way by the introduction bind him
self to support the bill. So, it seems
to me, without any reference to the
merits of the bill you introduced by
request that you are in no way to
blame for it if it is a bad bill and in
no way responsible for it if it is a
good one. I feel reasonably certain
that this is the view universally taken
here of the performance known as in
troducing a bill by request.
Truly your friend,
Champ Clark.
Congressman Oldfield has never
taken any interest whatever in
the bill, and was not the author
of it. He simply did what any
other member would have done,
in introducing the bill by request.
The bill never passed and, be it
good or bad, its introduction by
Mr Oldfield has affected no one.
The whole matter is only a
trick of Mr. Campbell’s to try to
hoodwink the people and mislead
them. Mr. Oldfield has never
broken faith with the people, but
has always put forth his utmost
efforts to make the people an hon
est, upright and conscientious ser
vant.
DIRECTORS AND TEACHERS
A meeting of the school directors
ind teachers of the county will be
