Washington Letter
By Edward Keating
(Congressman from the third Colorado
District.
The Republicans hive gone to
the Supreme Court to secure an
opponent for President Wilson.
Charles E. Hughes, ex-governor
and ex—justice, is a respectable
figure, but, WHAT DOES HE
STAND FOR? What is his is
sue? Why is he running?
He told a crowd of reporters in
New York the other day that he
stood for “ undiluted American
ism." What doe 3 that mean?
Ido not propound the question |
flippantly. lam serious about it
Does the ex—justice mean that 1
President Americanism
is dilated? It he doe i. why does
'at he say so? Of course the peo
ple would laugh at him, but he
could at least claim the virtue of
frankness.
1 Generalities will not suffice in
tins campaign. As I have said
in previous letters’the people will
not be swept off their feet by the
cry "Anything to beat wilson!"
They will demand’ that Mr.
Hughes dispense with platitudes
and furnish easily-undcrs ood re
plies For a few simple questions.
For eximple:
' In dealing with the countries
involved in the European war,
would Mr. Huges have resorted
to Diplomacy or War to enforce
American rights? President
Wilson has chosen Diplomacy and
Our country is at peace with the
world. In what particular would
Mr. Hughes have deverted from
the course followed by the Presi
fleet
Mr. Hughes says he is for "Pre
pared ness.” In that he is mere~
ly echoing President Wilson. If
he is nit sitisfisd with the vast
■urns voted to the army and navy
by n Democratic Congress he
should indicate what further ex

CHEYENNE WELLS, CHEYENNE COUNTY, COLORADO, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1916.
penditures he deems essential.
Does he believe in universal com
pulsory military service? If so,
he should speak out.
T’hen Mr. Hughes should be
specific in dealing with the ques
tion of "Who will pay the bills
for preparedness?” So far he
has dodged that issue. In that
particular he followed his party’s
platform which is silent on that
subject. Yet it is a big question
From $250,000,000 to $500,000,000
of new revenue must be raised
to build a navy, and equip an
army. Where are we to get this
straggering sum? The Democrat
party which up to date has ventur
ed a reply. We proposed to raise
| the money by increasing the in
come tax, levying an inheritance
tax on big estates and placing a
tax on munitions of war.
Mr. Hughes while governor of
New York sent a message to the
legislature urging the defeat of
the proposed amendment to the
coustitulion providing for an in
come tax.
Next year the Democrats will
raise $200,000,000 through the in
come tax. If Mr. Hughes had
had his way not a penny of this
sum would have reached the pub.
lie treasury.
Mr, Hughes says he favors an
“adequate protective tariff,.” but
he stops there. What does he
mean? Does he want the kind
of robber tarriff framed by Payne
and Aldrich in the opening days
of the Taft administration and
which was so bad that even Taft
himself could not defend it?
If Mr. Hughes dodges these I
questions and insists that “undi-1
luted Americanism” must be the
paramount issue, he will find him'
self on most insecure ground. |
The President has filed on that •
“claim” and a "contest” would
be hopeless. |
On May 15.1914,- almost three,
months before the European War
began— Woodrow Wilson in a pub
lie address on the occasion of the
unveiling of a monument to
“Fighting Jack” Berry defined
“Americanism.” He has reiteri
ated and amplified the definition
on every appropriate occasion
since that historic day.
No orator, scholar or states
men, living or dead, has ever
supplied a more inspiring defini
tion. In ray judgment it is the
definition which the American
people will accept next Novem
ber.
I quote the President’s words:
“Men have been drawn to this
country by the same thing that
has made us love this country—
by the oppertunity to live their
own lives and think their own
thoughts and to let their whole
natures expand with the xpan
sion of a free and mighty nation.
We have brought out of the
stocks of all the world the best
impulses, and have appropriated
them and Americanized them
and translated them into the
glory and majesty of a great
country.
So, ladies and gentlemen, when
we go out from this presence we
ought to take this idea with us
that we, too, are devoted to the
purpose of euobling America to
live her own life, to be the just
est, the mo3t progressive, the
most honorable, the most enlight
ened nation in the world. Any
man that touches our honor is
our enemy. Any man who stands
in the way of the kind of pro
gress which makes for human
freedom can not call himself our
friend. Any man who does not
feel behind him the whole push
and rush and compulsion that fil
led men’s hearts in the time of
the Revolution is no American.
Nu man whe thinks first of him
self and afterwards of his country
can call himself an American.
America must be enriched by us
We must not live upon her; she
must live by means of us.

Farmers Should Organize.
Dear Editor:
Just a few words and verses in be*
half of the farmer. I notice in the col
uinns of your paper a Washington
Letter, which our Congressman has
written so as the readers of this pa)>er
might know what is going on in Con*
gress. I take much pride in such in
formation, for tills is a day and age
of time when all voters should become
students of political matters, and of
course the Presidents are nominated
and the platforms are both being read
by the (>eople, and are being well con
sidered, esjiecially by the business
classes of the nation, and our Con
gressmen and would be Congressmen
are beginning to make their interest
ing appeals to the people. Telling us
what they will do and what they have
done, and among those sayings they
always state that they will see that the
laws now on the statute books are en
forced, now right here I would like to
ask a question or two. If our present
Congressmen are still going to tell us
about laws they have made and never
mentioning about seeing that laws
now on the statute books have been en
forced to their full power. If they do
of course-they will tell us about that
anti-trust law that have been on the
Statute books of the United States and
how they put the screws to John D.
Rockefeller when he (topped the price
of gasoline up, and how they put the
screws to the Steel Trust when they in
creased the price of steel, and also the
Shoe Trust and the Sugar Trust and a
liundt*ed other trusts, and so on down,
this is the way it goes. No odds
whether the Democrats arc in (tower
or the Republicans, it is the same old
story. They just keep handing us
gold bricks and hobby horses to ride
till they get our next vote, then we can
go afoot or stay at home as far as they
are concerned after that. The farmer
he can bear it all, for he is the best
naturcd of all,he will tnke any kind of
a price they offer him and pay any
kind of a price they ask of him.
The farmer is the man who works,
Hia back is bent with toil;
For caring for the calves and pigs.
And cultivating soil
While the financiers on Wall street.
Is setting in the shade;
He is the fellow that has got.
The chink the farmer made.
The farmer goes-in to a store
And gets something to eat
He also gets a pair of shoes
To put upon his feet
For wife and baby gets a dress
And 1 don’t know what
Who is it. that names the price
The farmer! I guess not.
He then around the corner goes
Into the hardware store
To «et a cultivator, disc .
A plow a rake or mower
He makes a very careful choice
For it the best must be
Who is it then, that makes the price
The farmer, no not he.
The farmer ntedj a lit.ld cash
For this or for that
He’s got some hogs there in the pen
But there not yet fat
And he go»s into the bunk
And borrows two or th.ee
Who is it names the interest rate
The farmer, no not he.
This is our great and glorious land
Lanu of tiie noble free
Where all should haveUn equal right
But the farmer, where is he
Whate’er he has to sell or buy
He a humble as a pup
The other fellow names the price
The farmer digs it up.
The fanner plows his ground in spring
And plants the rows so true
Then cultivates most every day
The whole long summer through
And then away he hauls the corn
To market with his mule
If ha wants to name the price on it
they tell him he’s a look
If the other fellow names the price
On the flour we eat
Why don't they Ist the farmers name
The price upon the wheat
If they mast set the price upon
The coat and shoes and gloves
Why not let the farmers name the price
On the stuff they make them of.
Why is it ao one aided
Here in this glorious nation
I*ll tell you brother Farmer
It’s just Organisation
The merchants they are organised
The hankers they are too .
And even to the little buys
that blacks the boot and shoe
Oh yea. there is organisation
Juat everywhere you go
From the financier on Wall street
Clear down to the hobo
But did you over think of it
Juat go and look about
You'll see whate’er they organised
They have left the farmer out.
Now if the boot black
That blacks the boot and shoe
Can have an organisation
Why cant the farmer too
Our hands aro worn and ttUtcred
Far they have m ood the toot
Bat It does surely am fc to me
Our brains have boon at mat.
Coma, brother farmer, let’s wake up
And give ourselves a test
« And while our brains are working
Our hands may have a rest
And when we’ve thought it over
I’ll tell yoa what wo’U do
WeH all of ua go down and join
The F. E. and C. U.
