OBITUARY

Gean Freeman, daughter and
only child of MIR. and Mrs.
German c. Freeman was born
IN Mansfield, Mo, July %. 1919,
and went back to be with God,
who lent her for a while that
this earth might be the brighter
and the better, in the early
hours of last Monday morning,
after SO brief an illness that it
does not seem possible that Gean
has left Us at all. 1t is hard to
realize that size, whose sweet
smile and cunning ways so de
lighted all, is to be with US on
earth no more. 1t seems that
she has been with US always,
and as long as memory lasts she
will be. and that will be forever.
Gean vas the greatest earthly
treasure Of the home, and to her
parents, tn all those near by the
ties of kinship and the entire
town and community, Gean was
a ray of heavenly The
pet and idol of all who knew her,
she was as unspoiled and l1-at!e.
as - Chidd could be. Always
happy, always smiling, always
ready with some CHEEKY word or
bright remark, she seemed in
intelligence and character a
Child far beyond her three years.
In fact, it does not possible
that within so brief a space of
time, she could have reached a
place in the hearts Of all which
few persons ever reach in A life
time. When the first news of
her passing away reached our
ears, we could not believe il
possible that one whom we had
so lately seen, 80 cheerful and so
dartiug here and there
and carrying gladness with
every step, would be seen no
more on this earth. Wherever
and whenever you saw Gean she
Was radiating joy and the very

Or something happened to hurt
her feelings, she would brush
away the tears as quickly as
they came and be her CHEEKY,

in Holy Writ that a little
child shall lead them, for Gean

insight and a greater desire
O lead a life that will bring
cheer and happiness to all. One

end at a recent conference of secur-
tiles commissioners of the mideast-
ern states. the opinion vas freely
voiced that the measure would pass
the senate and become the law of the
land.
The activity of these commission

fight is not yet owe and that the
sentiment of the west must be
marshalled strongly to impress upon
these gentlemen the fact that they
have gone about far enough in ham

This measure is supposed to pre-
vent fraudulent use OF the mails for
stock selling purposes. We already
have laws covering this subject and
the bill in no way prevents or pen

WE ALL LOSE

The coal strike has ended and both

net result of the walkout Is a loss
OF hundreds OF millions in strikers

sumers In higher prices for fuel, and
a great deal Of discomfort to all
concerned. It Is true that a COM

Charles e. Winter, Republican nom
inee for congress. briefly summar.
Ices his position on national issues
which he will discuss in more detail
during the campaign. OF matters
more intimately connected with the
state, he favors all federal measures
calculated to advance the welfare OF
our people consistent with the gen
eral good; reclamation Of arid lands,
conservation Of Wyoming waters to
Wyoming lands SO far as possible;
liberal administration Of the con
~servation laws encouraging use and
development without abandonment of
principle; reasonable railroad rates;
settling of vacant lands by bona fide
settlers. as large an apportionment
as possible to our state of government
royalties derived from our national
reso urces, to the end that reclama-
tion. roads. schools and the univers-
ity may be benefited: the transfer Of
public lands as quickly as possible to
private ownership, that they may be
developed and subjected to taxation.

ton of party candidates are essential
to the life of the party and to the
crystaliZation of ideas and policies

lean and expect to work with and for
this greatest and most constructive
party in the history of the nation. to
the wefare of all the people of our
country. The party committee Of
which you are chairman, carrying
out the free will and decision of a
majority of the party members who
have named the party candidates. is
entitled to credit and praise as the
working power and machinery of the

Generally, 1 believe in normal,
sane. progress in governmental mat
ters. which means the solving of ma
tional problems. as they arise. after
due consideration. No nation or
people or party can stand still with
out going backward. When there is
an occasion for legislation, congress
should act without unnecessary de-
lay. bearing in mind the welfare of
the whole people. and subordinate
partisan spirit whenever detrimental
to the public good.
