Paul Phillips Sullivan.

Whereas, 1t pleased the Great Su-
preme Banker and Ruler of the Uni
verse on June 20, 1917, to call for
the final statement and closing up of
the earthly account Of our beloved,
trusted and honored president, P. p.
Sullivan; and whereas, we have been
denied the wise and conservative
management Of our almost ideal head
officer, therefore be it resolved:
]. That in the death of President
P. p. Sullivan our bank has lost a
most valued head leader whose keen
insight and quick perception have
solved many complicated problems
in banking finance, and we will sore
ly miss his mature Judgment.
2. That we, as we'll as our town,
our country for miles around-our
State-have lost friend, an hum
Bile, faithful and liberal churchman,
an ideal citizen, a Cody, manly and
homelike man at home-truly one of
natures noblemen.
3. That as we have checked out
the earthly account and career of our
deceased president and found it cor
rect, so we feel sure the Supreme
Banker will check in his account and
issue the statement, orrect'-"well
done, good and faithful servant"
4. That we will ever cherish the
many banking virtues OF our depart
ed president, and bow humbly to the
VIII of our Supreme Banker.
5. That page Of our minute
book be dedicated to his memory,
with these resolutions inscribed
thereon, and a copy be sent to his
family with our heartfelt sympathy,
and copy sent to our county papers
for publication.

Not the Man to Advise

Under the above heading, last Sun.
days Denver News, contains the fol-
lowing pertinent communications:
ITO the Rocky Mountain News:
Referring to your editorial in this
mornings q issue entitled, Public Duty
TO the German American in which
you quote Mr.. Horace Brand instruc-
tions to the American born citizen ap-
provingiy permitme to say that Amer.
lean citizens of German blood that
have remained true to their oath of
allegiance need have no fear or anXi-
ETY. as TO the treatment they will re-
ceive at the hands of the American
born public.
But when it is remembered that
Mr.. Horace Brand, editor of the Illi-
nois Stats Zeitung, was one Of the
leaders of the meeting that was held
in Washington, ID. C., in 1914, that
proposed to 'rewrite the word Ameri-
ca according to their own ethical COM
plexion,' and later on, in 1915, WAS one
of the sixty German editors that met
in Chicago behind closed doors and
conversed in the German language, for
the avowed purpose OF forming ma
tional organization of German editors,
for the purpose of eoercing the Presi-
dent into sacrificing the fundamental
principles upon which this govern
ment is founded in order to assist
Prussian militarism, and only recently
declared that if the United States
went to war with Germany there
would be race war and rebellion in
this country, it little behoves a man
with such a record to instruct the
American people as to their proper
department.
Horace Brand and his followers
are the ones that are responsible for
the condition of affairs that prevails
today. BY their pernicious activities
they have led the German government
to believe that the United States did
not dare to defend their rig is against
the kaiser's aggressions, and thus
goaded them on to defy American
citizens to exercise their admitted
rights.
Now he presuines to tell us how
we ought to behave, which is only to
add insult to injury.

Death Of Mrs. L. R. Hanson

1t was with deep regret that the
many friends OF Mrs. Hanson heard
that she had passed away early on
Tuesday morning, March 9th.
Early in the year Mrs. Hanson had
an attack Of lagrippe which devel-
oped into a dangerous illness, and she
gradually grew worse. For several
weeks she has suffered considerably,
and borne her sufferings patiently, al
though everything possible was done
to minister to her relief by devoted
relatives and friends.
Ms4 LaHra r. Hanson, the dAugh-
I ter ef3xnfss L. And Amy Moore, was
born in Madison county, Ohio, on
March 4th, 1S47, and came to Meeker
in 1887, where she resided until the
time of her death. Mrs. Hanson was
good woman who made many
friends because of her strong charac-
ter, and her presence will be greatly
missed in our midst.
In addition to her two children,
Mrs. Myrtle Coulter of Emma, Pit
kin county, Colo, and Mr.. Olar Wal
den of Meeker, and her step-son, Mr..
Nels Hanson, she leaves grahd-chi
rem and great-grand-childr to
mourn her loss.
The funeral service was held at st.
James church on Wednesday after
noon at 80. Many old timers and
other friends gathered to pay tribute
to her memory. Interment took place
at Highland cemetery.
Eternal rest grant unto her . Lord,
and light perpetual shine upon her!

1t Happened at Craig

The last issue Of the Craig Empire
relates the following:
From the manner ip which he
frothed at the gills, it is evident that
one f. (whose initial stands for En-
peror, maybe) Hartshorn, who arriv-
ed in Craig from somewhere, some
how, has not heard the lines of that
stirring patriotic song, Don't Bite
the Hand That's Feeding You.'
"wednesday morning Hartshorn
entered the Wright brothers cafe and
Immediately began TRADE of abuse
against the United States government
stating that Uncle Sam was lower
than the Mexican government, that
the Mexican government was looked
up to in preference to the govern
ment of this country that If war WAS
declared between this country and
Germany, he would be found fighting

for the Kaiser. Lindsey Wright, one
of the proprietors and whose blood is
thoroughly American, literally flew
to pieces and ordered HartshOrn from
the cafe. Clyde Williams, butcher
for the Smith market, through a par
tifion overheard the conversation and
ran into the cafe. He intercepted and
told the gentleman D a few things
In good old plain United States.
Hartshorn took his departure for his
hotel and that was the last seen of
him during the day.
Wednesday night dozen real
Americans-men whose blood fairly
boils with patriotism for their coun-
try, gathered and repaired to the room
In a local hotel occupied by Harts-
horn. A knock brought Hartshorn
to the door.
"'Wbat is it gentlemen" he asked.
r'There : is a train leaving Craig at
$40 tomorrow morning. said the
spokesman, and you are going to
leave on it. II you are seen in town at
q quarter of seven there will be all
kinds of Hartshorn scattered on the
streets of Craig And then the COM
mittee' withdrew.
''Suiiice it that Hartshorn left on
Thursday mornings train. He arriv-
ell at the depot fully an hour before
the departure OF the train and fairly
shook in his boots, lest something
should happen his anatomy.
"Hartshorn came here last week,
registering from Lay, but 1t is believed
he had not been there as he had stated
that it was his intention to file on gov
ernment land in that vicinity. 1t is
probable that he will In the future re-
frain from making uncharitable re-
marks about his country. Hartshorn
claims to be American born.'

NOTHING STARTLING
But the Whole Country is Ablaze
With a War Spirit

| AS on other perilous times, every
thing is quiet on the Potomac. The
President and his advisers are mark
ing time, awaiting the assembling OF
Congress on Monday.
In the meantime, the army and
navy departments are rapidly getting
the Nation In state of preparedness.
In the eastern states the National
Guard is again being called to the
colors; and the regular army and navy
are being recruited up to full wal
strength. Patriotic citizens are rally
ing to the aid OF the government and
the war spirit is running high.
1t is not thought, however, that this
country will take any moro active
part in the European war than that
of turning its navy loose to protect
American lives and property on the
high seas; but the government is 60
ing to prepare for all eventualities.
On the western front tFrance) the
French and British continue to press
the Germans back, the allies now be-
ing up against the "Hindenburg line, "
which they are pounding In many
places.
Germany's campaign of frightful-

The Manchu Tartars, who conquered
the early Chinese, have left the impress
Of their former manner Of life upon
many styles seen today In Chinese fash
ions Of clothing. For instance, the OIL
clal coats, as seen In China at the pres.
ent time, are made with very peculiar
sleeves, shaped like horses leg and
ending in what is an unmlstakable
hoof, completely covering the hand.
These are known as horseshoe sleeves.
This IS owing to the intense love Of the
early Tartars for horses, from whom
they were practically inseparablc dur
ing their generations Of Wild wander
ing before settling down In China prop
err. The old enc IL also said to have
been worn In imitation Of the horses
tail and also as n useful halter TO tie
about the horse when the Tartar curlcd
up beside his beloved dumb friend for
n sleep.
