worked for a bill before Congress
gress providing fer the construction
of a great national highway as a step
toward preparedness. This highway
would be utilized for military pur-
poses.

through Morrow County, and he was
loud in his praise of the thorough
manner in which the trail is marked.

When asked how soon he would
start back on anther transcontinen-
tai journey, Mr.. Meeker replied that
there was nothing definite at this
time. II am hurrying home as fast
as can now, to work for the election
of Chas. E. Huges, our next presi-
dent" said the pioneer. Mr.. Meeker
IS now Sc years old, or S6 years young
it might be better to say, for he GER
tainly is spry man for one of his
years. We hope we will have the
pleasure of meeting Mr., Meeker again
and no doubt he will be passing this
way before long. For the story OF
the Lost Trail will not be complete
until the highway stretching from the
Atlantic to the Pacific has in reality
been built. And when that day comes
the name of Ezra Meeker will stand

REPUBLICAN THRIFT IS
SQUAEDEREDBY W|LsUN
Built Panama Canal Out of Current
Revenues, Periodically Hoard
ing Bonds in Treasury Which
Democrats Fitch to Hide
Deficit.

William r. Wilcox, Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
has received from Senator Penrose a
brief but positive summing up Of the
extravagances of the Wilson Admins
tration during the season of Congress
just about to close. The Senator
says:
when the country realizes what
this Congress has done in the way of
appropriations it will be dumfounded
Already, 1t has been shown that over
a billion, seven or eight hundred mil
lion dollars have been appropriated
more money than was ever oppropri-
ated in any one year in the history
of the American government. The to-
tai will reach nearly two billion dol
lars before the end of this carnival
of debauchery in public expenditures
Is reached, because no account has
been taken Of the twenty-five millions
for the Donish islands, the thirty mil
| lions which the government will pro-
badly have to refund as a result of
the five per cent rebate allowed on
importations brought across the seas
in American bottoms, and other mat
ters which are likely to come up.
ut is only too evident that this bill
which is expected to bring in some
two hundred million dollars will alb
solutely fail to meet even the require
ments for the ill-advised and certainly
not urgent projects authorized by the
present Congress.
1T is now claimed that these pro-
iects are to be financed by the issu-
ance of Panama Canal bonds. The
Americon people will regard such a
proceeding as very queer one be-
cause the issuing of bonds by the
Cleveland Administration largely
helped to bring about the downfall of
the Democratic party in 1896. A
bond issue has ever since been viewed
with adherence by the Democracy;
now, we find the party leaders COM
PEELED, by reason of their extrava-
gance and inefficiency to resort to It.
'To defray the expenses of nit
rate plant and of shipping board
and many other useless projects by
the issue of Panama bonds will be in
the last analysis equivalent to paying
for them by bond issues. These bonds
are lying in the treasury unused as
the result of the thrift and economy
and wise administration of the Repub-
lican party.
"Only about $3.50, 900, 900 Of bonds
were put out in the construction of
the Panama Canal. The balance of
the cost of that stupendous undertak-
ing was paid out of the current re-
venues; and now, to advance the no.
vel doctrine that these bonds which
represent the thrift Of preceding
years shall be issued for these quest
ionable projects is, to my mind, pre-
posterous, in fact, 1t was expressly
provided in the Spooner Act that Pa
mama Canal bonds should not be is
sued for any other purpose than that
of the construction of the Canal, and
the ingenious theory that they can be
issued now to repay the treasury and
that then the money can be squan-
dered by the party In power to finance
