The Traitors in Congress.

1u6 IOICS Dlll 10 OliSO hOl z oS-
fore the Senate and the Democrats
are fighting it with all the forces
at hand. That the provisions of
the bill are revolutionary goes
without saying and the Senators
who are advocating the measure
and attempting to force its passage,
are tainted with treason, more
black and damning than that which
smirched the name and memory Of
Benedict Arnold must be apparent
to all. Arnold sought to deliver a
single military post to the enemy,
but the arch traitors Of the fifty
first Congress are using Il delegated
power to rob the whole people of
their liberties and wantonly tramp
ling under their polluted feet the
constitution of the land and the
traditions of a century.
In comparison with this, the
greatest crime against human lib
erty and human rights, the treason
of Arnold shines forth with luster
bright as angels wings.
Against this crime it is the part
of patriotism to interpose every
barrier which human ingenuity
can devise and human power can
accomplish.
Every consideration and every
interest should be held in abey-
ance until this dire menace to our
liberties is defeated. On this sub.
ject the n. Y. WorLd says:
"The attempt to pass the Force
bill is an attempt at revolution. AS
such it must be resisted by every
lawful means, no matter at what
cost of time, effort or sacrifice OF
other interests.
The bill in effect DEGREES that
elections shall no longer he the
free choice of Representatives, by
the people, but shall be so con.
trolled as to produce predeter.
mined result. Popular liberty and
such a law cannot co-exist in the
Republic.
The means of defeating the bill
are in the hands of those who are
now opposing it, if they are cour.
ageous enough and self-sacrificing
enough. They may obstruct it fol
a prolonged season in the Senate
and it is their duty to do so. They
may expose its enormity by debate
in so forcible fashion as to win tc
their aid those Republicans who
are not completely given over tc
reckless partisanship. They may
in the same way arouse popular
protest strong enongh to be effect
i've.
If the bill gets through the Sen,
it must again go to the House fol-
concurrence in the amendments
Obstruction is not easy there by
reason of rules framed to make
the Speaker an autocrat and to rot
the minority of even the right tC
protest. But there are nonpartisar
measures, of which the Silver bill
is type, measures upon which
the Democrats can.'carEy or defeat
at will by giving or Withholding
their aid to the Republicans
who favor or oppose them, and II
the Democrats choose they can
control the situation by deciding
in advance to act together upon
these measures, sacrificing their
preferences or even their conyic.
tions on those subjects for the
higher purpose of defeating the
Force bill. If they choose they
can make their casting vote on
such measures effective as a weapon
with which to compel the abandon-
ment of this revolutionary project,
and no sacrifice of that kind will
be too great to be properly made
for such purpose as this.

Some Figures.

In accordance with a request from a
number Of our citizens Glenn. A. Hoar
has prepared the following statement
showing the valuation of Wa-Keeney,
Ogallah and Collyer township as follows:
Wa-Keeney township, S492, 455; Collyer,
1929, 40; Ogallah, 1921, 1891. At 6 per cent
the interest on $1,000 would be $50 and
the interest on $500 at the same rate
would be $50. According to this table a
II mill tax in Ogallah township would
raise $3.50, or nearly double the amount
required to pay the interest on $500. Ip
Collyer township 4 mill tax would raisl
S74.45, or more than twice the amount re-
quired to pay interest on $500. In Wa
Keeney township one third mill tax
would raise S164 or more than sufficient
to pay the interest on $4,000.

There was considerable excitement q

There was considerable excitement on
our streets this week when the Kansas
City Star and Times announced in lengthy
editorials that our representative, ]. 81.
Reeder, had said that he would not vote
in the legislature for Hon. John j. ingalls,
for U 8. senator, but would vote for P.
P. Elder, the alliance candidate. Mr..
Reeder had promised his friends before
election that he would vote for the re-
election of Mr.. Ingalls,, so Wednesday his
friends again called on him in regard to
this matter. In short Mr.. Reeder denied
the truth of the articles. He said he had
promised to vote for Ingalls, and would
do it If he was permitted to take his seat
in the legislature. In regard to voting
for P. P. Elder he said be would not vote
for man whose party was at present
contesting his election. Good for "Jeems."

A Visit to the GoldgMine.
A. II. BLAIR,
Chairman.
G. A. HOAR,
Secretary


Numerous and contradictions reports in
relation to the discovery of gold in Trego
county having become circulated in our
community, a self-constituted committee
consisting of IR. G. Wilson, Geo. Baker
A. L. Gleason and a WORLD reporter
concluded to fully investigate the matter
last Tuesday. Only this and nothing
more and the fellows who started the re-
port that we had gone to the gold fields
to select and stake out claims or plat a
town site are calumniators. The farm
belonging to w. T. Brabb, where tie al
legged discovery had been made, is exactly
twelve miles due east of Wa-Keeney.
We found Mr.. Brabb and two or three
of his neighbors engaged in pumping the
sand out of well about hundred feet
deep. The sand was literally sprinkled
with some bright, shining stuff which the
uninitiated might easily mistake for
gold but which all agreed was only mica.
There was very little yellow stuff mixed
with the sand that was then being taken
out and which was pronounced gold, and
from the best evidence obtainable,
we are inclined to the opinion that it was
the genuine stuff" Some of the sand
that had been taken out at lesser depth
contained much more of the metal which
we have pronounced gold and Mr.. Brabb
had taken specimens to jewler in Ellis
who pronounced it gold beyond doubt.
He has also sent samples to mineralists
to be tested but has received no report.
There are two questions to be deter
mined before any excitement will be in
order. Has gold been found, and does it
exist in paying quantities?
While neither of these questions can be
answered positively in the affirmative, the
preponderance certainly seems to prove
that gold has actually been discovered on
Mr.. Brabb's farm.
We are not at all learned in mineralogy
but we are well satisfied after hearing all
the evidence, and from what we saw, that
gold is one of the products of Trego conn
ty. Whether it exists in paying quanti-
ties viii, we presume, be fully tested.
Mr. Brabb is not at all excited, but
thinks, as we do, that it is worth an in
vestigation and is proceeding to make il.
We will endeavor to keep our readers in
formed as the investigation progresses.
As incidental to our visit, we cannot
forbear mentioning the fact that Mr..
Brabb has about four hundred acres OF
fine wheat growing upon his farm and
which will, at least prove the equivalent
to him of a small gold mine.
We win anticipate enough to say in
advance of the asking that we do not
advise the fling of mineral claims just
yet.

advisability of assisting to build Touring
mill in Wa-Keeney, and to decide upon
the best manner of raising the necessary
amount for that purpose. There is moth

this character, and in our candid Judge

WAGNER Bros. & SLAvENs.
Messrs. Wilson andtShuler stated that
Mr.. Wagner had been at Wa-Keeney

mittee was appointed to correspond with
Wagner Bros. and Slavens. A committee
was also appointed to canvass the matter
of voting bonds in aid of the enterprise
in Wa-Keeney, Collyer and Ogallah
