the metal In the men who had a part
in the wonderful program. What
the people wanted they have done.
Isn't that something to be referred to
as wonderful? While they have not
undertaken to do the impossible, they
have been going strong in the right
direction. We are getting somewhere
these times, and men of the Shouse
type are responsible for it. The
voters of the Seventh Congressional
District are the kind of people who
keep in touch with their congress-
man, and they know that he has
never been appealed to in vain in any
matters that effected their interests.
He has been a worker, and above all
he has a quick and ready mind that
makes his work effective. His stand
ing with the forces that assisted the
president in the splendid work that
has proven blessing to the people
of the country stamps him as leader
in national affairs They depend up
on his good help and he stood faith
full to his trust. With Woodrow Will
son for leader the Congress of the
United States has said to the soulless
money power of Wall Street, Take
thy beak out of my heart and take
thy form from off my door"-and the
country has never witnessed greater
display of moral courage. Well may
these men ask reelection upon
their records. So far as the Seventh
District is concerned, we feel well
content about what the voters will
do. They will return Mr.. Shouse to
congress by an overwhelming vote,
and we unhesitatingly make the as
sertion that he has earned 1t by his
faithful and meritorious work during
the past two years.-Macksville En-
terprise.

money that the United States gov

CONGRESSMAN SHOUSE AND HIS
RECORD

Mere desire to hold Office is not
enough to justify the election of any
man. AS your congressman 1 have
endeavored to serve you honestly,
faithfully, efficiently. l invite the
closest investigation Of my record.
II after such investigation you feel
that the best interests of the District
will be served through my reelection
shall be deeply grateful for your
support"
The above is the statement of Con-
gresham Jouett Shouse, found on the
back of one of his cards which recent
ly fell into our hands. Considering
that Mr.. Shouse has just returned
from two years Of active service in
Congress, his willingness to place his
case with the voters of the district
upon his record is striking proof Of
his loyalty to their interests during
the time he has served them. 1t is
not every public servant who invites
an investigation of his record. Even
his Republican opponents have not
attacked 1t, and the great construc-
tive work of the Wilson administra-
ton has been such that there has
been no chance for lodging or trim
ming. Mr.. Shouse faced the matters
that came up for settlement like the
courageous, honest, well-balanced
man that he is. He has not been for
one thing in congress and for another
thing while at home. The measures
that have been put through congress
during the past two or three years
have been of character that tested

100 PER CENT UNFIT

In 1912, when Justice Hughes was
a member of the Supreme Court and
was asked to become candidate for
President, he said:
1.-THE man who on the highest ju-
dicial tribunal would consider an
other Office is fit neither for the one
he holds nor for the one to which he
aspires."

Mr.. Hughes dislikes the federal
banking and currency law which will
prevent panics. He does not like the
child-labor law that will prevent the
dwarfing of the bodies and minds Of
boys and girls in the factories. He
is against the eight-hour law which
is so distasteful to the railroad man
ayers. Apparently the only thing
that he would like is to see Charles
Evasion Hughes president.

Pratt's team tackled Sans team in
a football game Friday evening after
school. The score was nineteen to
eighteen in favor of Pratt's team.
The game was very interesting. Nova
Dickerson made all three of the
downs" and Frank Mann kicked
the goal for Pratt's team. Sam
Beltz made two of the touchdowns
and Harold Smith made the other
one for Sans team.
The only one that was much hurt
in the game was Guy Miller, who
was knocked down and had to stop
playing for few minutes, but when
Geo. S. moved and gave him air
from the north he recovered and was
able to play again.
Roy Kelly, the eighth A heart

toe, and the number of fingers lost is

again.
Mr.. Beecher was supposed to ref
cree the game, but could not. Alvin
Mahoney acted as referee.
The game was won only by small
prayer that Geo. S. sent up when he
fell.

TEUT0NIC POWERS
ASK FOR PARlEY

Berlin, Dec. 27.-The text of Ger
many's answer to President Wilson s
note has been transmitted to James w.
Gerard, American ambassador.
The answer, which also contains the
reply of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey, says
"The high minded suggestions
made by the president of the United
States of America in order to create
a basis for the establishment of a
lasting peace have been received and
considered by the imperial govern
ment in the friendly spirit which was
expressed in the presidents commu-
nicatjon.
"The president points out that
which he has at heart and leaves
open. the choice of road.
"To the imperial government an i'm.
mediate exchange of views seems to
be the most appropriate road in order
to reach the desired result.
cit begs, therefore, in the sense OF
the declaration made on Dec. II
which offered a hand for peace nego
tiations, to propose an immediate
meeting of delegates of the belliger
ent states at a neutral place.
The imperial government also is
of the opinion that the great work OF
preventing further wars can be be
gun only after the end of the present
struggle of the nations.
"It will, when this moment shall
have come, be ready with pleasure tc
collaborate entirely with the United
States in this exalted task"
The answer of the central powers
concludes with the usual diplomatic
terms of politeness.

ATTENTION, ALUMNI OF THE
MANKATO HIGH SCHOOL.

A few words in regard to the re-
ception announcements are called fer
through a misunderstanding as to
their significance. In former years
and no doubt also this year, some al
preston that as a sign that their
presence is desired at receptions, a
personal invitation should be receiv-
ed. While the intentions are that each
person shall receive an announcement
there will always be some to whom
they will not be delivered. There are
more names on the lists and the task
Of addressing is greater than is per-
haps realized by many. 1t is almost
impossible to supply the correct resi-
dence addresses for all and hence
some announcements are almost cer-
tain to remain undelivered. 1t is for
those particularly who do not receive
them that this is meant. They are
purely announcements in the strict
sense of the word, and inasmuch as
the reception is an ALL Mankato High
School alumni reunion, one alumnus
should feel as cordially welcome and
as deeply interested as the next
whether or not an announcement was
received. 1t is through the combined
efforts of individual alumni that the
splendid organization in made possible
and it is hoped that the attendance
at this evenings reception be larger
than ever, and that more and more
may take an active interest in the
association.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Congress-
man Wood is busy on his job of col
lecting facts in connection with the
alleged tips that certain Wall street
brokers are alleged to have had about
President Wilson's peace note. He
said today he had information of one
very near relative OF a member OF
President Wilson official family get
ting some advance information that
got him quite bunch of money on
the stock market. Mr.. Wood also said
that he had information that two
days before President Wilson's note
was made public in the United States
its contents were known to American
diplomats in Europe, making it easy
for them to telegraph instructions to
their representatives on the stock ex-
change in America just how to take
advantage of the situation.
