So far there does not appear
to be any candidate with a de-
sire to jostle Congressman
Young out of his congression-
al seat. The Valley City man
has proven both capable and
popular with the people of his
district and it would look like
wasted time and energy to
attempt to defeat him.

REVIVAL. MEETINGS.

Beginning March the seventh,
the people of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, of Cheyenne Wells
will hold a revival meeting, con-
tinuing throughout the month.
Word was received this morn
ing from Rev. Asbury Dean, of
Sioux City, Iowa. who is to be
the Evangelist, that he will arriv-
ed in Cheyenne Wells, March the
sixth.
Rev. Dean is an old college
friend of the Pastor of our church
and comes highly recommended.
He has been in the Evangel-
istic work for the past eight
yeas. succeeding a successful
career as Pastor Of the North
west Iowa Conference. His life
has been clean. and instead of
spending his time in telling you
of a wicked past, character
istic of some evangelists, he will
preach to you the everlasting
Gospel of the Son of God.
Let every one keep in mind
the importance of a real Soiritu-
al uplift in Cheyenne Wells, as
it always precedes a moral uplift
and without which there is no
real and lasting reformation.
Every body prepare to come to
this meeting. Plan your work
so you can come. Let the Chris
tian people pray that it may be a
great success in the Salvation of
souls. D,nt dep en1 upoa your
Pastor nor the Evangelist to do
your praying fer you. II there
is something in the way OF your
Christian enjoyment. get it out
of the way and he reconciled to
God before the meeting begins.
The pastor expects this to be a
great uplift to his own people,
but is exceedingly anxious that
you enter into the work from the
very start with clean hands and
a pure heart, and with nothing
of a hidden nature disturbing
your mind, thereby making you
ineffective throughout the en-
tire meeting. If you don't like
somebody, go talk the thing over
with them and get reconciled;
the trouble may be in your own
heart. Let get every thing out
of the way, and start the meet
in, off right. We especially ask
that if the young people are con-
templating having entertain
ments during the coming month
that they be postponed until
after the close Of the meetings,
as it would retract greatly from
the interest and success of the
same. This we cannot demand,
but out of courtesy for the cause
we represent, we feel that it
will be granted to US.
The Pastor feels a keen Interest
in the souls of the people of
Cheyenne Wells, esq ecially the

That The People May Know.
Late History Soon Forgotten by
our Republican Contempor.
afV.

| Ays
It is amusing to note the howl
set up by the Cheyenne County
News over the distribution of
legal patronage by those in
charge of the government land
Office in this district, and a word
in rebuttal to the evidence sub
mitted by the government offic-
ials at Hugo may not be taken as
a balm by our esteemed contem-
po;ary, the said Cheyenne Coun-
ty News, but it will show clearly
that Mr.. Gwathmey, Of the News
! is over-reachnng the bounds of
political jurisprudence and stul-
tifying his republican patriotism
in requesting favors at the hands
of an adverse administration.
When the Republican star was
in ascendency. and Republican
officials were in control of the
land office, the editor of the Rec
ord lived upon the gsass roots, as
it were, while our Republican
contemporary waxed fat under
the partisan orders Of those
higher up" who had put the
double cross on the Record, a
Democratic newspaper.
During the late republican
regime, many of our friends who
were republicans, requested the
government officials at Hugo to
allow their proof Of publications
to be inserted in the Record. To
this appeal a deaf ear was turn
ed, and the legals continued to
adorn the pages Of the "Repub-
lican," now the News. To en-
phasize to what partisanism the
republicans practiced while in
power, we call attention to the
fact that former editor of the
Record was denied the privilege
of publishing his proof Of publ.
cation in his own paper, being
compelled to pay Nr Cain. then
editor or the "Republican." for
his publication, after loaning Mr..
Cain the type with which to set
the notice up.
After the democrats came into
power, the "Republica1' was
leased {?) to a democrat deser-
ter, and the name changed to
the News. a deception and de-
ceit practiced solely for the pur-
pose of securing a division of the
land notices. This scheme work
ed admirably while republican
officials were still in charge at
Hugo, but the incoming of the
present democratic officials has
removed our republican contem-
porary from the political teat,
&, and like a big baby, he bitterly
objects to the weaving.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Con@-essman-at-Earge
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

The Sixty third Congress has
pass d into history.
The men who write the story
of our times will describe it as a
great Congl ess.
I, did more talking than any
other Congress in the history of
this nation; but it also did more
work.
Did you ever stop to think of
the number, the variety and i'm
portance of the subjects which
have been acted on by your rep
resentatives in the national leg
islative since that supremely
beautiful March day when Wood
row Wilson faced the silent null
titude massed on East front of
the Capitol and took the oath
which made him Chief Executive
of the republic?
We revised the tariff, and,
judged by the walls of Special
Privilege, we did Il workmanlike
j)b.
We wrote e new banking and
currency law for the nation. and
it has worked so satisfactorily
that our enemies have ceased to
crilicise it.
TRADES COMMISSION
We recast the laws regulating
trusts and created a Trades Com
mission, which will bear the same
relation to big Industrial corpor-
ations that the Interstate Com
merce Commission now sustains
to the railroads.
We emancipated the arcel
post and permitted the govern
ment t., donate the express bus
mess, thus effecting a saving OF
every year of many millions to
the people IF the country.
We unsealed Alaska, with all
its vast natural resources, and
decreed that those resources
should be developed in such a
way as to benefit all the people
and not chosen few. To this
end we appropriated thirty mil
lions for the construction of a
railroad to be owned and operated
by the government.
We repealed the absurd law
which permitted the Shipping
Trust to use the peoples Panama
Canal without the payment of
tolls aud thus provided for the
annual transfer of millions Of dol
lars from the treasury of the
nation.
ADEQUATE ARMY NAVY.
We resisted the opportunities
Of those who declared that the
United States must become a
military nation, but while we
ignored their hysterical clamors
we saw to it that generous ap-
preparations were provided Tor
the maintanence of an adequate
army and navy.
We voted large sums for the
promotion Of agriculture, the ex-
tension of commerce between the
states and with other nations and
for the safeguarding of life and
limb. The Smith-Levor bill
which sends the agricultural ex-
pert TO the farmer instead of
competing the farmer to Journey
far from home to find the know
ledge needed to make his labors
rerunerative is a fair example of
this constructive legislation.
Another bill authorized the

our products in foreign lands and
the Foster bill provides rescue
stations and experiment plants
for the workers in our mines.
| Congress has not played favor
ite but has displayed an intelli-
gent liberality in dealing with all
classes.
WAR PROBLEMS.
We have met the problems
growing out Of the European
war and Mexican disturbance
with courage and rare moderation
Here again we have insisted
on the lingo" taking rear seat.
We had implicit confidence In
President Wilson and we have
manifested that confidence by
promtly and vigorously seconding
his every act.
When he felt the time had
come to kick the murderous
Huerta out of Mexico, we provi-
ded the necessary machinery.
When he moved to save this
country from the effects of the
commercial chaos produced by the
European war, we passed with
out hesitation and almost without
question the measures he pro-
posed. We failed him once when
a few Democratic traitors per
mited the Ship p-purchasing bill to
be talked to death in the Senate
And above all, we have placed
padlocks on our lips and uttered
nothing which could give offence
to any of the unfortunate powers
now in q death.grapole. We
have been emphaticaHy and un-
swervingly neutral! At times it
has been mighty hard to keep
quiet but we have done it.
BILLS THAT FAILED.
Each house has c,isidered
many big questions which have
never come squareIy before the
other house and therefor must be
threshed out again at sone fu-
ture time.
This Congress gave the advo-
Gates of prohibition and woman
suffrage their first chance to Sc
cure a record vote on the meas
ures which theJ consider Of par
amount Importance. Other Con-
crosses avoided these issues like
they would the plague. We met
them squarely, discussed them
thoroughly and then went on re-
cord for or against. Both pro-
positions failed but the educa-
tional value of the debates is in
calculable.
The House passed a compre-
hensive good roads bill provid-
ing an initial expenditures of
twenty five millions per year,
but it died in the Senate.
The House also approved the
most drastic child labor law ever
considered by Congress. 1t bars
from interstate commerce the
products of all establishments
employing children under cer-
tain age limit. 1t will probably
become a law curing the next
Congress.
Legislation of the utmost inn
portance to the West also passed
the House but failed in the Sem
ate. Among these measures were
Congressman Fergusons 63O
Acre Homestead Bill, the Ferris
bills, providing for the leasing of
