A GOOD YEAR
AHEAD OF US
Despite a few lonesome howls
from a handful of the old stand
pat Republicans, business in all its
branches is on a saner, safer,
sounder basis today than it has
been in many years.
The Democratic administration,
instead of bringing on a panic,has
enacted a new currency law and
revised the tariff in a manner that
has established a feeling of confi
dence in all the channels of legiti
mate business.
This feeling of confidence was
all that was necessary to start the
ball of PROSPERITY to rolling.
When a feeling of confidence
takes root in the minds of the peo
ple of the United States it augurs
well. It grows and expands with
enthusiasm.
This is manifest in many ways
in the industrial movement all
over the United States. Large
orders recently placed for steel
and other commodities indicate a
business revival of more than
passing interest.
It is evident that capital has
confidence in the wise administra
tion of affairs of government and
with capital lined up on the side
of optimism the initial step in
COMMERCIAL ADVANCEMENT
and PROSPERITY is taken.
Shops, factories and railroads
which had been slackening for
many months and in some instan
ces had ceased operations entirley
are now employing thousands of
men and women who have suf
fered because of idleness. The
buzz and hum of machinery is
music to their ears.
The resumption of activities in
all trades has brought about a re
turn of confidence to the laboring
classes.
And, together with all the signs
pointing to a great industrial re

! generation, come prospects of a
most successful farming season.
All this means that 1914 will
be a pood year—a big year com
mercially.
It means, too, that while the
: Democrats have good, safe, sound
and reliable men at the helm in
Washington, it would be a serious
i mistake to begin swapping them
off for young unbroken stock.
This is the first time in many
years that the Democrats have
had the opportunity to do any
thing for the relief of the people,
who have been in the clutches of
I the Republican party whose chief
| aim was to serve the predatory
interests, the trusts and the mon
ey sharks.
Our own congressman, Billie
Oldfield has played well his part
! and has been loyal to the people
j and faithful to duty in assisting
the Democratic administration in
enacting these needed reforms.
His worth and integrityare known
!
and appreciated in Washington
and it is a mighty good time to
: send him back to help the Demo
cratic administration continue the
good work in behalf of the peo
ple.
Gov. Hays, in a recent argument
I urging church attendance, gave
expression to the following,which,
for its eloquence and brevity, is
one of the finest arguments in fa
vor of the church that we have
ever seen: “The church is the
! greatest treasure house of our
| spiritual life and forces, in which
i we have stored the best thought,
traditions and aspirations of the
race, and anything which makes
I for its maintenance or encourages
I its growth and development,
i furthers the true welfare of any
I community and fosters the best
and highest interests of mankind. ”
The report of the department of
agriculture shows that, reckoned
according to population, there are
i 18 million less meat animals in this
country now than there were ten
years ago. It is shown that the
value of cattle has increased dur
ing that time from $19 to $31.13
per head. The farmer who fails
to raise a few head of surplus
stock for market is neglecting a
great opportunity for adding to
his income.

I? you bad an important pi cc

ienced man on (lie job, doing good,
honest work and giving at; good
service, you would not turn a
off and hire an inexperience,
young felh v just in order to give
him a job, would you? Certainly
not. And neither will the people
fire Billy Oldfield just to please a
few disgruntled politicians and
give an inexperienced young man
a job. Oldfield’s record for devo
tion to duty is not surpassed by
that of any man who ever repre
sented this district in congress,and
usually the people are not very
hasty in turning down a congress
man who has proven himself a
faithful and efficient servant.
It is said, and very truthfully
too, that a man will rise no higher
than his ideals. A man with high
ideals will strive for the better
things of life. His motives will be
pure and his conduct becoming,
and he is so intent upon the things
worth while that he has no time
nor inclination to harbor petty
animosities nor aid professional
gossippers to spread idle reports
that reflect upon his neighbors.
And in the meantime don’t for
get our friend Earle Hodges, who
asks to be re-elected secretary of
state. He has proven himself en
tirely worthy of the peoples’ con
fidence and desires to win upon
his merits, which he will do with
out a doubt. Earle was born in
Newark, and Newark has reason
to feel proud of him.

COL. JAMES RUTHERFORD
In the passing away of this
noble old citizen, Independence
county loses one of her best and
truest men. While I was never in
the home of Mr. Rutherford in my
life, still there was an abiding
friendship between us that time
nor conditions never disturbed.
He was a real gentleman of the
old Southern type, .and while a
man of considerable wealth, he
was the poor man's friend. I nev
er heard, nor heard of, a complaint
against him as to an unfair deal
with his tenants and neighbors.
And when a man can run the
guantlet for nearly ninety years
and make a clear record on this,
he is a man of unselfish spirit and
a friend of his fellows. He was a
clean man in politics as well as
business and a consistent' Christian.
I never heard him use a word that
could not have been spoken in the
presence of ladies. He had clean
lips, and that is a good sign of a
man’s heart being clean also. He
had his “bv-word” and everybody
knew it. In the summer of 1907
When Bro. Dye and I were having
that great work of grace in our
midst, I met Col. Rutherford in
Sulphur Rock and the meetings
were being discussed in his pres
ence and he said “well, by golly it
is being done by two old White
river boys and no imported fel
lows.” He believed in his old
friends and stood by them. His
type of man is not being reproduc
ed. Sometimes I wonder why; and
yet my investigation as to why
leaves me about where 1 began my
search, for the reason why is
nYetTaTe mr eomrnroTTtfs- i&vatttc.
No reflection on his sons, nor the
sons of any other grand old men
who have gone before. Peace to
his ashes. I extend my sympathy
to the bereaved and pray God’s
blessing on them.
