]. ]. Mckee Dead.

J. J. Mckee, Gle Of Bates county's
1iost highly respecte: citizens, died
al his home -shcrt distance ssettt4r
OF this city, Monday forenoon, May
%, after long illness.
James J. Mckee wds born Septem-
Der II, 1887, in Richlard county,
Ohio. According to Atkesons his
tory, the Mckee family emigrated to
California in the spring of 1850, out
fitting for the journey across tie
plains at Independence, Missou...
The trip from Independence was
made with OK teams. In 1850 he
came to this county and purchased
100 acres. the present hc,uc place.
In 1872 he was united in marriage to
Sarah Ann Hoffman, of MI. Pleasant,
Iowa, who survives him. 70 This
union three children were born:
Newton, who was killed some years
ago by bolt of lightning; James,
who made his home with his parents,
and Mrs. John c. Lane, of Atas,a-
dora, California.
J. J. Mckee was truly a pioneer in
every sense of the word. Coming to
the county when it was in its infancy.
he faced all of the hardships of the
pioneer and lived long enough to see
the results of his labors blossom into
fruition. When he cast lis lot in this
6 community there were few roads ex-
listing with any authority of law and
when one wanted to 60 OH a visit TO
a neighboring village a not very we'll
defined trail was the nearest az
proach to a highway. But he, with
other hardy spirits, made the COM
nunity what it is today and the
present generation owes them a debt
Of gratitude that can .ne.er be paid.
He enjoyed the respect and esteem of
his neighbors who mourn with II.
family the passing of good man.

SENATOR HARRISON FIRES
OPENING GUN ON G. O. P,
Mississippian Attacks Republican
Achievements Since March and
Assails Unemployment Outlook.

ASSa1lS Unemployment outlook.
An attack upon the republican ad-
mnistration, and particularly upon
the Harding letter to Senator McCor-
mick setting forth the achievements
of the republicans since last March,
was launched yesterday by Senator Pat
Harrison Of Mississippi, democrat.
The American people want more
work and less play" Senator Harrison
declared in describing President Hard
the presidential yacht Mayfower. The
trip was taken, he said, while millions
or Americans were hanging their head
In shame" because men who ''helped
win the war" were being offered on the
auction block in Boston.
Referring to the fact that the Hard
ing letter was used in the New Mex
leo senatorial campaign recently,
Senator Harrison said:
president Harding and his repub-
lican colleagues are employing the
same tactics for which they con-
demned President Wilson because of
his letter asking for the election of
a democratic Congress three years
ago. The President, by his letter, has
laid down the gauntlet, and even
would much prefer to see politics ad-
journed until the great economic
questions now crowding themselves
upon Congress are solved, we accept
the gauge of battle and 1 propose at
this time to analyze the so-called
monumental accomplishments of this
administration and expose the hypoc-
risy and deceit thereof"
Sees Teeth Drawn.
Senator Harrison declared that all
of the bills put through by the re-
publicans had been shorn of their
best features before enactment, and
all their teeth they originally pos
sessed had been extracted.
As to Retrenchment,
Talk about retrenchment! Why, all
we have seen are the promises with
out performance.
What retrenchments have been
made have been under the whip and
spur of the democratic minority of
both Houses of Congress, aided by
the progressive element within the
republican party. When the Army
was reduced savings of billions were
effected to the people, even over the
Presidents protest, and when the
program of the Navy Department for
stupenduous and enlarged appropria-
tfons for the Navy was attempted to
be fastened on an already tax-rid-
den public and was throttled 1t was
done through the coalition Of demo-
Gratis and republicans overriding q
reactionary republican leadership"
