SUBSCRIPTIONS COMING IN.
Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Dol.
lars Already Subscribed.

The canvassers who have been out
among the merchants seeking subscrip-
tions for the Fourth of July celebration
have been working hard and as re-
suit have already secured two hundred
and twenty-five dollars for the purpose.
The committee In charge feel much en-
couraged by the manner in which they
have been met by the merchants and by
the little trouble they have experienced
in getting subscriptions. and feel them
selves able to hNstle things along now.
The celebration this year will be on
a grander scale than anything of the
kind witnessed in this city. and the
public should take some pride In the
the matter and see that it is one which
will do credit to the town. A success
full celebra lion means much to us for
it will attract many people to this
place, and those who subscribe will
probably realize ten times as much dur
ing the day.

(From a speech in the Reichstag, by
Prince Bismarck, May u. 1922
The success of the United States in
material development is the most illus
trious Of modern times. The American
nation has not only successfully borne
and suppressed the most gigantic and
expensive war OF all history, but i'm
mediately afterward disbanded its
army. found work for all its soldiers
and marines. paid OF most of Its debt,
given labor and homes to all the unem-
ployed Of Europe as fast as they could
arrive within the territory, and still by
a system of taxation so indirect as not
to be perceived, much less felt Be-
cause it is my deliberate judgment that
the prosperity Of America is mainly
due to its system Of protective laws. ]

Amt it strange that just Is soon as
a good republican dies the democratic
party claims him. They call him all
the vile epithets which can be found
in the English language while he lives,
but just let him die and he becomes a
great statesman and they point to his
public career and say. Why don't you

republicans go to the democratic par

GOOD ROADS.

The greatest blessing that the coun-
Try people Of any community or nation
enjoy is good roads. They save time,
money. horseflesh. wagons and endless
worry. How exhilarating to the wheel
man Of the city to take a breath of
fresh air in the country on a road over
which he a skim upon the wings of
the wind.
During the past two years the COM
missioners Of Albany county have Civ
IN special attention to the public high
ways, and the result has been a won
derful improvement in the roads lead
ing IN every direction from Laramie,
Those who have Travelled the thorough
fare to the Centennial valley of late
have noticed with pleasure the great
change which has been wrought by a
little well directed effort in taking the
stones from the road, leaving it SO that
wagons travel with greater ease and
the horses themselves seem to say.
Thanks for the saving to my feet and
easier pull you have given me-" The
road from Laramie to the county line
on the way to North park has also re-
ceived needed repairs and is now in a
condition which is very satisfactory.
rejecting great credit upon the man
who did the work and the board of
commissioners. under whose direction
the work was performed. The same can
can be said Of the roads in the north
ern part Of the county and elsewhere.
None have been neglected and the peo-
pie appreciate the attention which they
have received, for there is no better in
vestment that a be made. Some of
course claim that the money spent up
on roads Is all for the benefit Of the
country people. Not &C. Every dollar
spent in this way is Of just as much
advantage to the taxpayers of the city
as to those of the country. Those who
live at a distance are drawn to our
city by the good roads provided and
the town derives the benefit Of their
trade, their money going into every
avenue Of business. A town cannot hope
to prosper II 1t does not look to the
surrounding country for business, and
1t cannot hope 10 draw business from a
distance unless it reaches for it through
its main arteries-good roads.
Although there have been some who
have at times opposed the election of
commissioners from the country upon
the grounds of economy, The Eeepub-
lioan believes that ranchmen who con-
stantly use the roads are better quail.

5000, 900 SOUND MONEY DEMO.
Gratis.

New York Sun: The estimate Of g.
600, 900 honest money democrats, made
by come OF the leaders of the Palmer
and Buckner ticket, would not be IN
reasonable in an ordinary election. So
far from being too large, it would prob
ally be too small. But this year 1t is
doubtful II v 80 irreproachable a
ticket as Palmer and Buckner will poll
so great a vote, for all intelligent demo-
Gratis and patriotic citizens we'll know
that Its election is impossible. and that
the only safe way to sustain the cause
Of honest money is to vote for the cleo
toral ticket of Mckinley and Hobart.
That Is the only honest money ticket
which can win against reputation.
Are there 100000 honest money
democrats? There are 5000, 900 Of them,
not a man less, and there may be many
hundred thousands more. But will
there be 1000. 900 votes for Palmer and
BuckEer? Not this year. All honor to
