BEN HILLIARD
VISITS MEADE
g
Now Congressman From the
City Of Denver. Early
Resident of Meade

In the first regular election
held in Meade county, fillmore
Hudson proved that a club-footed
man could out run assound man
for the Office of Clerk of the Dis
trict Court of Meade county.
When Fillmore took possession
of the Office, he brought with him
from crooked Creek township a
tall, large-boned, bright eyed boy
with hair as black as the hinges
of midnight. FiImore's reply to
a local politician who suggested
that the clerk was rather raw
for the job, was Characteristic of
the man aud times. Said he, II
have selected my deputy myself,
heis satisfactorlal to me, and if
you don't like Ben C. Hilliard,
cut your dogs loose During
the litigations years of Hudson's
term B. c. Hilliard became well
known to the business and pro-
fessional men of the county.
When last week tue Hon. B. c..
Hilliard, Member of Congress
| for the Denver, Colorado Dis
trict appeared ia Meade he need
ed no introduction to old timers
of the city and county, for he has
changed less than most men by
the time and toll ofthe iast9uar-
ter of 4 century.
True his once raven harris now
plentifully sparkled with white,
but the tall robust form is not
bowed with the passing years.
and the pleasant face is neither
scanned with care nor hardened
by the trials and hard knocks of
a place in the front ranks of the
stren0ous fight waged for good
|government in Denver and the
State of Colorado.
AS Mr.. Hilliard has fought his
way constantly upward wbaie the
days grewpinto years. s,nce leav-
ing Meade, glimpse of his
course maay be interesting to-
not only us of the picoeer days,
but also to those who came later,
to the county.
When has father A. c. Hilliard,
in 1889, left his home near to
JohO ConEsd's place to engage i'm
business in Pratt. Ben went 10
Liberal for time, but soon
secured a school in Pratt coanty
which he taught for one ternn.
He then retnrned to his native
state. Iowa, and entered the State
University where he 6uished
with a dipl0Ma from the law de.
partmeut. Immediately upon
graduation he came to Kansas
City, Kissouri, where he enter
ed the practice of his profession |
in the Office of another Meade |
county pioneer, Sam Lawrence.
While in Kansas City he mar
ried Miss Tida Zimmerman of
Missouri, and their family now
consIsts of four children.
Soon after his marriage he re.
moved to Denver, Colorado and
opened aslaw Office there.1
J Converted to the free silver /
propaganda. by the speech Of
Mr.. Bryan, then known as the
boy orator of the Plat, at the
Chicago Convention. he followed
Senator Teller in the free silver
schism of the Republican party.
When Teller and his coadjutors
returned laterto the republican
iold Ben was more firmly con-
Tinced that the republican lead
,rshiP was wrong, and being now
! political free lance he finally
became democrat, and soon

WAR GOING ONE YEAR
AND END IS NOT YET
Great European Nations Have Staked Their
All on Final Outcome. Whole
World is Involved

The second year OF the European
war opened Sunday. On August l..
1914. Germany declared war against
Russia and the last chance vanished
Of locallnzing the Austro-serbian war.
declared three days previously by
Austria-Hungary.
All the great powers Of Europe
were drawn into a struggle the like
Of which history has not heretofore
recorded. Eleven Nations are at war
and almost all lands are affected. di.
rectly or Indirectly. Millions OF men
have been killed. wounded or carried
to captivity In hostile countries. Bill
lions OF dollars have been expended.
Thousands Of square miles Of terri
tory have been devastated and hun.
dreds OF cities and towns laid waste.
Half the world Is In mourning for
the dead. And although the war has
been In progress with unexampled
fury for year. the result may be
summarized In one brief sentence:
No decisive results have been achiey.

and the end is not in sight.

ed and the end Is not In sight.
Preparing for Winter Campaign.
Determination to pursue the war to
a decisive ending has been expressed
by high officials OF all the belligerent
Nations. preparations are being made
for next winters campaign. and In
fac, indications from Europe are that
II Is more likely to increase In size
rather than decrease. II Is still an
open question whether Bulgaria. Rou-
mania or Greece will be drawn in.
In view Of the immensi,y OF the
struggle. previous standards count
for little In considering the price the
world is paying. The figures involved
are so vast as 10 convey little mean
ing. The Nations at war have poured
out their resources OF men and gold
without limit. The usual standards
Of life have been subordinated or dis.
regarded. and In some cases social.
industrial and political activities have
been virtually reorganized on mill
taristic basis. and make all contrib
ute to the supreme necessities OF
was.
II is impossible TO obtain accurate
statistics OF the number OF men en-
gagged. the casualties and the cost
For obvious reasons the size OF the
various armies Is kept secret. Most
OF the Nations do not consider II ex.
pedlent to reveal the number OF cas-.
ualties: In fact. Great Britain Is the
only one which has given out official
totals. As to the money expended.
there are available only partial stats.
tics
More than half the population OF
the world lives in the countries at
war. The population OF the warning
countries IL estimated at 1000. 900,
and Of the countries at peace at 7s7.-
100000. The population Of the En-.
tente Nations Is perhaps Eve times as
great as that n their opponents. The
number OF men under arms has been
estimated variously. usually In the

house of China, recently held con-
ference with Princes Chen and Ching

boy emperor, after which announce
ment was made that under no coudi-

take advantage OF the present monar-
.chial movement i'm the hope of restOr-
ing the depcSed family to power
Wholly apart from the monarchial
movement promoted by the Society for
the Preservation of Peace there is
movement in China TO put the Tsng
dynasty back into power IT has few
a1herents and has made little head
way for many years However the
imperial movement inaugurated in the
interest of President Yuan Shi-kai
Immediately prompted enemies Of the
present administration To suggest that
If the empire be restored the Tsings
should have their old throne
This agitation created some uneasl-
ness among the members Of the Socie-
ty for the Preservation Of Peace As
the little emperor Is prisoner in the
Forbidden City pensi0ned by q repub-
lie, there was NO chance that his fam
ilg could conduct a plot aud get him
