The Independent is authoriz
ed to announce the candidacy of
William A. Oldfield of Independ
ence County foi re-election as
congressman from the Second
district, subject to the action of
:he Democratic primary.
An Aroused Sense of Decency
One of the most encouraging
features of last week’s election
was the defeat in various local
ities of candidates whose affili
iations were bad but who had,
heretofore, either through ma
chine work or indifference of the
people at the time of the prima
ry elections, managed to succeed.
One evidence of this aroused
public spirit is presented in New
York city, where Murphy’s
judiciary nominees were snowed
under. All of the men upon
whom Tammany had placed the
brand of approval were defeated
a fact which is causing much re
joicing among the New York
democracy, notwithstanding the
fact that it cost them the state
legislature.
More evidence is shown in the
defeat of the Lorimerites in Illi
nois, all of whom went by the
board. At the election succeed
ing the Lorimer exposures in the
legislature all of the partisans of
the blond boss who had secured
renominations—and all of these
who had aspired for nomination
had been successful — were
elected, some of them by over
whelming majorities. They ran
for vindication and were, by the
action of the people, apparently
vindicated. But this year, all
went by the board.
Another instance which tends
cialist opponent—a man who
possesses no qualification what
ever for office except that of
good moral character, came
within three or four thousand
votes of beating him.
These cases show that when
the people become aroused de
cency will prevail in spite of
bosses and machines and the
party lash.—Fort Smith' Times

Memory’s Picture.
As' the long forgotten memories
of days that are dead
Steal in upon the twilight air
I’ve a vision of things that are
lovely;
Of things ali glorious and fair.
As the Phantom days troop be
fore me
A ghostly dreamlike throng,
They mantle their spell around
me,
Like a melancholy song.
I recall the sweet Hopes and am
bitions,
The dreams of beautiful things,
That ever, as I reached out to
grasp them,
Flew away upon Mystic wings.
There was a world of sorrow
Spun into that web of gold—
Yet thrown into Life’s weighing
balance
Brought nobility of soul.
’Tis only a picture, or shadow
Thrown upon the film of space,
And it fades away from my vis
ion
Scarcely e’er I trace the* old fa
miliar faces
At each unforgotten place..
Alas! the picture is fading out
into that forgetful sea,
From whence no remorse ever
cometh
For things that couldn’t be.
But when in Life’s treacherous
whirlpool,
I shall be grounded upon the
Rocks of time,
I will pause a moment to Listen
To those far-a-way silver chimes.
And though troubles may most
overwhelm me
And envelop me in dark h'ued
wings.
Still “Sorrow’s crown of sorrow”
is
Remembering happier things.”
Betsy Trotwood.
