repast. Flowers were everywhere
in the house and violets everywhere
on the table-baskets and baskets
of violets, one for each guest, and
scattered profusely around the CEN

moline. The love place cards made
a fitting souvenir of an enjoyable
occasion. After the most delight

and that the annual compensation
per mile shall be as follows:
Glass A-Macadam or other ma
terial of equal utility and cost
$50 per mile.
Glass B Gravel or other mater
ial of equal utility and cost, but
cheaper than macadam-$3O per
mile.
Class C-Dirt roads properly
constructed and properly main
tained-$15 per mile.
On November /, 1913, there
we're 26l star routes in Colorado
aggregating 1850 miles in length;
and It's rural routes with a total
of 1867 miles. How these roads
would be classified under this bill,
no one is in a position to state,
but | believe it is safe to estimate
that Colorado's share of the twenty
million dollar fund would be about
$25O,OOO. In addition the State
would secure about $4,000 from
the five million dollar fund, max
ing total of $500 per annum.
Congressman Shackleford does
not accept my estimates and in
sists that Colorado will receive
nearer $5OO,OOO than 100000, but
| think he is mistaken. | am
afraid most of our roads would fall
in either class "B" or &c" and
would therefore not be entitled to
the highest compensation. Either
sum would be welcome addition
to Colorado's road fund, but | con-
tend that we are entitled to some
thing more, so l have prepared a
substitute for the Shackleford bill
which in addition, to retaining the
essential features of that measure
grants each of the Public Land
states one million acres of the
public domain to be sold to actual
settlers-and the proceeds used
for road building. There is good
reason to expect its adoption.

Congressman from
Colorado

Naval and Military Program,
The unlocking of the natural re-
sources of Alaska, and posi-
bly, the construction of our first
government-owned railroad.
Legislation affecting the rela-
tions of employer and en-
ployee.
+ Of course, there will be many
others. Mexico promises to trouble
our statesmen for some time aud
at any moment may become a per-
picking and time consuming prob
lem. Then every appropriation
bill carries in addition to huge
sums of money legislation of the
most important character.
On the trust question, Congress
looks to the President for guidance.
He will probably present his views
III his first message, and then assist
the Judiciary Committee in draft
ing the resultant bill This will
be made party measure and after
it has been perfected in caucus
will be pushed through the House.
The Progressives have prepared
some interesting bills touching
this question and in a subsequent
letter | will endeavor to compare
the Bull Moose and the Democratic
remedies for an admitted evil. Of
course the Republicans will pres.
ent no remedy. Statesmen of the
Penrose Lodge Gallanger stripe
realize that effective trust regula-
ton would probably mean their
permanent retirement from politi-
cal life.
GOOD ROADS BILL
The roads bill which will receive
most serious consideration was
presented in the House the other
day by Congressman Dorsey Shack
leford. 1t will be fathered in the
Senate by Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia. 1t provides for the ex-
penditure of twenty five millions a
year by the federal government.
OF this amount five millions is to
be spent by the Secretary of Agri-
culture in conjunction with the
State Highway Commissions, the
States contributing two dollars for
every dollar advanced by Uncle
Sam. The remaining twenty mil
lion is to be paid to the States in
the form of compensation for the
use by the national government of
the State roads for the transporta-
tion of the mail.
For the twofold purpose of en-.
couraging the construction of the
very best type of roads and deter
mining each states just proportion
of this fund, the bill provides that
the roads of the country used for
star routes or rural free delivery,
shall be divided into three classes

At The National Capitol
CHE extraordinary Session
OF.

Washington, ID. C.-The regular
session of the 63rd Congress will
convene next Monday and no one
anticipates an adjournment before
August |, 1914.
In those eight months of law
making themajority in both Houses
will either make or break the Dem
ocratic party,
We have been in control of the
Government since March 4th. In
that time Woodrow Wilson has
succeeded in making good" with
the American people. But the
Democratic Congress is still on
trial. We have passed real tariff
bill-a splendid redemption of
platform pledges. We have pushed
a real banking and currency bill
through the House but it has been
blocked in the Senate-and blocked
by Democratic votes. OF course,
the Republicans assisted in the
blocking to the limit of their ability
but the fact remains that they
could have been swept aside had it
not been for the wabbling of a
minority of the majority. "Wob-
bling" seems too mild term and
"TREASON" must and will be
substituted if the wobblers don t
wobble into line in the very near
future.
Every genuine Democrat feels
the keenest chagrin over the SEN
ate's failure to enact the currency
bill during the extra session. With
the tariff and currency question
out of the way the decks would
have been cleared for the consid.
GRAFTON of stupendous legislative
program. AS it is, only the House
is prepared to take up the new
work, while the Senate will prob
ably drool over the currency for
the next two months.
At the end of that time, the
Wilson Bryan bill will go through.
There is no doubt about that in the
mind of any well informed OBJ.
server. "The Interests can annoy
the President, they can subject his
plans to vexatious delays but when
the test comes they haven't the
votes to control either House. If
they were dealing with a weaker
leader their Fabian tactics might
secure important concessions, but
Wilson is cold grey granite when a
principle is at stake.
MANY BIG QUESTIONS
The following are some of the
great problems aside from the cur.
rency, which Congress will be
called upon to consider during the
regular session:

LION AT GREAT BEND.
Strange Beast From Larned Moves
to Barton County.

Great Bend, Kan, Feb. 12.-The
mysterious animal which a few
weeks ago is said to have attacked a
Rush county boy and killed the dogs
which defended him and which later
was heard of near Larned, Kan, is be-
county.
Harry Sipes, a South side farmer
while riding home the other night
says he was nearly thrown by his
horse and discovered strange look
ing beast approaching from nearby
field. He did not stop to argue mat
tiers, but reused the neighbors and
started a hunt for the beast, but it is
said farm dogs refused to track it.
1t is thought to have been a noun

from the mountains and which has
hidden in the jungles along the Ar

FIGHT over OPENING.
Ebbetts Plan for Early Date Us
Opposed.

New York, Feb. 12.-Magnates of
the National League, meeting here to-
day to adopt the playing schedule for
the coming season, were confronted
with unexpected opposition to the plan
to allow the Brooklyn club to open
the new Ebbetts field on April 9, one
day ahead of the opening games in
other cities.
The New York club is said to OPP
pose an early opening in Brooklyn and
President Lynch has already voiced an
objection. The American League has
given its consent to an early opening
for Brooklyn as that would prevent
a conflicting date with the New York
Americans and the Washingtons in
this city.
Garry Hermann says Cincinnati
and five other clubs favor the Eb-

Remarkable
Gatarrh Cure
Gets Right into the Affected
Parts and Stops Gathering
in Eyes, Nose, Throat
and Lungs.

''NinetenthS of humanity suffer with
catarrh but do not know what catarrh
Is" said an expert doctor, a specialist in
blood analysis. 1t is treated locally be-
cause nature tries to drive it out of the
system. But nature must have help.
Nasal catarrh is merely an outlet and
1t is folly TO expect cure by inhaIants or
local applications. If a stream is pol
1uted at it's source it is ridiculous to
waste time in publication at its mouth
BY long series of elaborate expert
ments at the Swift Laboratory it is def
nitely known that catarrh can be cured
by the simple process of inoculating the
blood with antidotal remedies that step
infiammatory conditions throughout the
mucous Innings of all the organs of the
bsdy. This is done with the famous
Swift's Sure Specific, or as it is widely
known, S. 8. S. 1t is taken into the
blood just as naturally as the most
nourishing food. 1t spreads it's influence
over every organ in the body, comes
through all the veins and arteries en-
ables all mucous surfaces to exchange in
1iammatory acids and other irritating
substances for arterial elements that eff
fectually cleanse the system and thus put
an end to all catarrhal pollution. S. S. s.
cleans out the stomach of mucous ac-
cumulations, enables only pure blood max
ing materials to enter the intestines, COM
bines with these food elements to enter
the circulation, and in less than an hour
is at work throughout the body in the
process of publication.
You will soon realize it's wonderful in
fluence by the absence of headache a de-
cided clearing of the air passages. a
steadily improved nasal condition, and
a sense of bodily relief that proves how
completely catarrh often infests the en-
tire system You will find S. s. s. on
sale at all drug stores at 81. 90 per bottle
1t is a remarkable remedy for any and
all blood affections, such as eczema rash
lupus, letter psoriasis. boils and all scrof-
ulOuS conditions For SpeciaI advice on
any blod disease write in confidence to
