Independence County
Needs Joint Campaign
The Journal would like to
see a revival of the old time
joint campaign among the can
didates for office in Indepen
dence county.
We know there are always
some people who object to a
joint campaign, on one ground
or another. Some will say it
is too expensive on the candi
dates, others will say it works
a hardship on the people of the
county, and so on.
There may be, and possibly
is, merit in these arguments
against the joint campaign, but
the fact remains that the peo
ple took more interest, not only
in politics, but all public a fairs
when we used to have joint
campaigns in this county.
Then, the people were bet
ter informed on matters of
county government than the
are today.
We are supposed to have,
and The Journal most heartily
believes in the old-time slogan
of “government of the people,
by the people, for the people,”
but unless the people are kept
informed on the political issues
of the day by a full and free
discussion of public affairs,
how are we to get a full and
free expression of the senti
ment of the people?
Let’s take the people’s busi
ness before the people and let
those who are seeking to serve
the people, tell the people what
they propose to do; what they
stand for; how they propose
to spend the peoples money;
what they propose to give the
people in return for the money
they spend.
If we have ideas and ideals,
affecting matters of govern
ment, take them to the people.
Let’s get back to the godd
old fashioned Democratic doc
trine that governments derive
their power from the people!
As for The Journal, we be
lieve in the people, we have
confidence in their judgment
and think they have a right to
know what is being done by J
thofee who are supposed to
serve them; and what will be j
done by those who seek to I
serve them.
The Journal is confident that
the financial affairs of Inde
pendence county would never
have gotten into the deplorable
condition they are in today, if
we had had a full and free dis
cussion of county affairs before
the people the past several j
years. We are laying no blame
at the door of any particular
individual, because we believe
that several of them have been j
to blame.
Men acting in an official
capicity are not near so apt to
spend the people’s money un
wisely or recklessly when thej
know their official acts wil
be held up before the public b>
|some opponent upon the stump
in the next campaign.
The people have a right to
i know—public interests de
mand that we know—what
sort of service we are going to
get from the men who make
and administer our laws.
The candidate for office who
has a sincere and honest desire
to serve the best intersts of the
!people, will not object to a pub
lic discussion of the political
issues of the day. The candi
date for office who is afraid
to go before the peple and pre
sent his case for their consider
ation, is an unsafe man for
public office.
We don't need that kind.
Being a country editor has
its drawbacks and disadvan
tages, but there is ore thing
about it—it gives you an op
portunity to know who all the
tightwads and pullbacks are
in the community.
The Journal is devoting con
siderable space this week to an
article by Bradford Knapp on
combating the boll weevil. The
boll weevil is the greatest prob
lem facing our farmers today
and we hope every farmer will
lead the article written by
Bradford Knapp.
America, we are told, has
become a milk-drinking nation
the per capita consumption
for last year being 19 gallons.
And there is not a recorded
instance of its use necessitating
a stomach pump to save life
or requiring police reserves to
quell a riot.
The man who disclaims
against sentiment and scorns
romance is a man to be feared
and avoided, a man who
would rob the sunset of its
glory, wash the green off the
grass and foliage, and strip
the gold from the fields of rip
ening grain, if there were pro
lit in the process.

Here is Help That is
Worth Something.
There are very few men in
Independence county more
public-spiritd than Will Duvall,
the genial manager ot' the Du
vall Mercantile Company of
Sulphur Rock. Realizing that
something must be done to
combat the boll weevil in this
county, Mr. Duvall went to Ok
lahoma where the farmers have
had to fight the boll weevil
for a number of years, and se
cured first-hand information
from the most successful farm
ers.
He embodied that informa
tion in an article which his
company is having published
in The Journal this week and
next.
He realizes that the boll
weevil is a serious menace to
the farmers of this county, and
he realizes that if the farmers
fail, everybody fails.
It is no more his business
than it is the business of any
one else to help the farmers
save their cotton crop, but Mr.
Duvall did not wait for some
one else to take the lead and
bear part of the expense—he
went and got his information
and is putting it before the
farmers at his own expense.
This is a real constructive
assistance for the farmer.
We need more men like Bill
Duvall in Independence coun
ty.

COOLEST PLACE IN TOWN
Two Madly Galloping Horses!
Two Swift, Fearless Riders!
The horses came abreast. There was a
short, sharp struggle. Both riders fell, and
went tumbbling down a hillside.
Pursued and pursuer faced each -other.
One was “The Rattlesnake,” a notorious bad
man. The other was—a beautiful girl!
It was the beginning of a strange ro
mance; of a breathless, thrilling story of plot
and counterplot in the golden West.
See Jack McGowon and Lillian Rich in
“The Ruse of the Rattler,” a thrilling ro
mance that is real entertaidment.
