Cherries are ripe at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Adams.
At present they are trying to de-
eide the question: Which was
the more destructive the rabbits
or the gang of youngsters who
so kindly drove the rabbits out
of the cherry trees"
Several who have large bunch
es of stock to water are having
trouble in keeping them supplied
at present. But hope to get their
wells, pumps. wind mills and en-
gines in working order and have
a better supply on hand. There
is no fun in staying at home the
Fourth of July to water the cows.
Our neighborhood was repre-
sented at the celebrations at
Towner. Arapahoe and Cheyenne
Wells the 4th. While about fifty
met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. D. Piatt and spent the day.
In the morning a good program
was given and enjoyed by all.
The dinner served at noon proved
that "Our Folks" won't stand
back for anybody when it comes
to getting up meals. The best
part of it came from the gardens
and poultry yards of the friends
who were present which made it
more enjoyable. Mrs. Piatt fur.
nished coffee which we think was
in no way inferior to Mr.. Nor
mans. She also furnished tea,
while the Grand View S. S. fur
nished lemonade for the crowd.
The boys brought fire crackers
enough to furnish the necessary
noise. Mrs. Piatt had a sack of
candy, pop corn and peanuts for
each of the children and young
people which they enjoyed. Mrs.
Weare and Mr.. Straber and
daughters furnished instrument
tai music and all assisted in sing
ing songs suitable to the day.
Everybody present enjoyed the
day and went home at night tired
but surely neither hungry or
thirsty.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Eeating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

partment closed It's DOCKS 1of t'e
first fiscal year under the Wilson
administration, and found. after
all bills had Leen paid, the tidy
balance of $50. 100000!
This was another. bitter pill for
the ''standpatters'' who have
been predicting that the Demo-
Gratis would be compelled to sell
bonds to meet the current expen-
ses of the government. Instead
oeIa bond issue, President Wilson
produces surplus of generous
proportions!
And this in the face of the fact
that we have revised the tariff
downward, have given the coun-
try a modern banking and cur
rency system and are proceeding
with the enactment of trust leg
islation which will put dishonest
business men in Jail and afford
honest business men a wider
field for their legitimate activi-
ties.
Through its manipulation of
tariff schedules. the Republican
party placed the burden of sus-
tanning the government on the
shoulders of those least capable
of bearing it. The Democratic
party has changed all this.
A few years ago, Congressman
Prouty, of Iowa, Republican,
declared on the floor of the House
that a section boss living in his
district, supporting a wife and
five children on a salary of $50
a month, contributed as much to
the upkeep of this government
as did John D. Rockefeller with
an income of more than $50, 0O0-
OOOa year. The statement could
not be successfully contradicted
then, because the Republican
party insisted on supporting the
government through a tax on the
necessaries of life and the Sec
ton boss had seven mouths to fill
while the oil king had only him.
self and his wife to provide for.
Under Democratic rule the tax
on the necessaries of life has
been reduced and has been re-
placed, at least in part, by tax
on incomes. This latter tax hits
Mr.. Rockefeller and his associa-
ted on the tenderest spot in their
anatomies-the pocket nerve.
Dispatches from New York the
other day told how Uncle Sans
agents had collected SIS. 900, 900
in income tax from the residents
of one square mile of Manhattan
Island. Of course, the men who
paid this money protested, but
the section boss out in Iowa has
not been heard to complain.
CLARK BACK OF WILSON.
AS predicted in these letters
two or three weeks ago, the ef-
forts of big Business to block
the Presidents antitrust pro-
gram has proven a fat failure.
Congress will remain in session
until we have executed the con-
tract entered into between the
people and the Democratic party
two years ago.
1t is pretty hard on those Of us
who are compelled to undergo
the heat ola Washington summer
but it will enable the party to go
before the voters this fall with
sn unqualified record ofconstruc-
tive legislation. ,., 81
This result was assured when
the Democratic Senators met in
Cheyenne record., 1914-07-09

conference a few nights ago and
unanimously adopted a resolution
pledging unwavering loyalty to
the presidential, program. A
short time before the Missouri
delegation. led by Speaker Champ
Clark, had adopted similar reso-
lutions and had presented them
to President Wilson. The speak
er's participation in the move
ment was regarded as highly sig
nifcant. Since the debate on
the Panama Canal tolls question.
opponents Of the administration
have persistently endeavored to
cause a breach between the pres
ident and speaker. They have
failed because Wilson and Clark
are both big men and, they have
demonstrated that differences on
minor questions will not be per-
mitted to interfere with proper
team work on the main issues.
SUGAR TRUST ACTIVE.
The Sugar lobby" has reap
peared in Washington. The old
offices have been opened up, the
old press agents are once more
drawing salaries and the standpat
congressman are filling the Con-
gressional Record with made-to-
order speeches urging a retention
Of the tariff.
There was a time when the
trust assured US that we could
not produce sugar in this country
unless we had a tariff of almost
two cents a pound. Later on it
was willing to get along with
one and one-half cents a pound.
Now it is clamoring for one cent
pound and it would shed tears
of joy if it could get a tariff OF
half a cent a pound. The latter
rate would add $25, 900, 600 a year
to the sugar interests profits.
Such a prize as that is worth
fighting for. and the trust is fig
uring On putting a lot of money
into this falls campaign.
1t is particularly interested in
the Colorado fight. Itexpects to
be permitted to name the Repub-
lican candidates for Senator and
Congressman and if it succeeds
in electing them, will herald the
victory as a mandate for the res
toration of the tariff on sugar.
The press agents of the trust
are revamping their old time
! fakes, but they find that the pub
| lie is not in a mood to accept
them without question. The
trusts champions in Congress
are having the same experience.
There was a time when they
could present to the House a
mass of alleged facts prepared
for them by the sugar lobbyists
and no one would have the tenn
Gritty to question their accuracy;
It is different now. Members
of Congress have been studying
the sugar question and the ma
jority is convinced that we can
produce sugar in competition with
the world and that a practical de-
monstration of that fact will re-
suit in vast development of the
industry, particularly in the
| West. AS a consequence when
the orators Of the trust take the
floor they become the targets for
volleys of questions which they
find it difficult to parry and i'm
nossible to answer.

Washington, Aug. 12--An itinerary
for the cruisers Tennessee and North
Carolina, bearing millions In gold for
the relief of Americans, has never
been announced, but as Great Britain
and Germany have given warnings of
the dangers in the North seas, 1t is
being taken for granted here that
neither Of the American warships will
venture into those waters. After
touching at Falmouth. England, the
treasure ships probably will land at
some port in France and then head
for the Mediterranean, endeayoring, it
is thought, to reach Americans in both
Germany and Austria from points in
the Adriatic.
One diplomat pointed out today that
the ports of four neutral nations, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and the Meth
erlands, as well as one Of the bellig-
was practically block
AIDED through the pronaiscuous planting
OF mines in the North sea.
The Hague convention, which regu-
lates the use of the contact mines,
stipulates that the belligerents shall
undertake to their utmost TO render
those mines harmless within limited
time. and should they cease to be un-
der surveillance, to notify the danger
zones as soon as military exigencies
permit Naval observers here believe,
however. that in view of tho titanic
struggle this article in the convention
will be Of little moment.
The formal memorandum presented
by the British charge d'affaires was
delivered to the state department, SO
that ships under neutral flags might
be turned back.
Secretary Garrison thinks that as
soon as the first panicky feeling Is over
and financial conditions have been re-
adjusted, the mere announcement that
the United States or any individual
has deposited specie In an American
bank, subject to the draft from Euro
pean countries, will be sufficient to
establish cre6&t FOR Americans In
