More and Hotter Stuff To Follow. -s i ... ... Firm in our adherence to the truth "thatjMiblic office is a public trust," we gladly present the record of the party and of those who have served the people under its standards as the best possible assurance of future faithful service, Tlic marvelous achievements of the American people under the leadership and in harmony with the policies of the Republican Party have no paralled in human history, and the roster .con tinued itsTccord of economy by reduehig the appropriations nearly two and one-half billion dollars belowthe estimates. The expenditure of eighteen and one-half billions in the fiscal year in which the Congress began its sessions was reduced to an an expenditure of less than six and one-half billions in the first full fiscal year for which the Congress appropriated and to an expenditure of a little more than five pillions in the fiscal year during which the Congress t-nrfsd. , '. . t , ' . ' w BEGINNING OF Till? HARDING ADJIINISTRATIONN The splendid record of the1 Sixty-sixthCongress for economy and constructive legislation challenged the admiration of the American people and pa ved the way for the wonderful victory of 1920, while the multiplying evidences of extravagance, incompetency, and graft which characterized the Wilson administration rendered inevitable' the astounding victory which gave us a Republican President and a Republican Congress "on the 4th of March, 1921. April llthsaw the Congress in special session, charged by the President with the duty of lifting the tax burdens, rcvie ing the tariff, restoring peace,, and legislat ing toword the restoration of normalacy. The inevitable reactionfrom a period of enormous inflation and expenditure, of high wages, flush times., and easy money had ar rived. The cold gray dawn of the morning after was upon us. -The dance was over and the fiddler was demanding his pay. The multiplied ills of the period of deflation, acute every-where, fell most heavily upon the farmer and the stockman, and to his relief the new administration and the new Congress turned even before it took up the great'tasks of general tax and tariff legislation, of budgetary and general restoration and reform, . All the world beyond our borders was in acuto -distress, or threatened with bankruptcy and financial collapse. Ours was the only treasure chest in the world from which real money could be secuid in exchange for conimediticjs, and so they came to us from the ends of the earth, pouring through every customhouse. Eggs from China, frozen meats from Australia and the Argentine, wool from everywhere, and prices of these and other farm products were on the toboggan. ' ... . A i ' . ' .AGRICULTURAL LEGISLAUION. Within two days after the Congress met, the House .of Representatives reported an emergency agricultural tariff bill. Within two more days it had passed the Houne, and in a little more than a month it was a law. It checked the downward trend of prices, and gradually as the surplus of imported stocks was exhausted, there came the upward trend. Wool soon reached a fairly remunerative level and,, with the return of normal and favorable conditions, bound to follow the settlement of the coa and. rail strikes, there is every prospect of satisfactory prices for all agricultural products. .The passage of the emergency tariff bill only partly met the needs of the agricultural and, live-stock industries. I The staggering blows these industries had received demanded heroic and unusual remedies. ' Credit and an abundance of it was cssejitial . . " - , V. ' ... . . . . . It was not aicasy problem from a national standpoint The first suggestions were neither adequateropractical, but the administration and the Congress worked out the problem, through the revival, thejex-. tension, and the enlargement of the Dowers of the Waf Vinanrte Crfrnoration and the establishment of a credit ftf a billion dollars in this institution. ' Four hundred millions have been advanced annroximat.filv t.hVnn hundred millions to the farmers and the stockmen of the. West; more than nine millions to the stockmen and farmers of this State. v... ... ' ' It is no exaggeration to say that these two measures the emergency tariff and the war finance loans have been the salvation, the saving, of the livestock industry of the West, and in saving that industry the Nation has performed a great service uot only for those (Jieectly interested but for those indirectly interested in the msintenance of ah adequate meat supply for the Nation. v Some of the down-east folks have been, inclined to think that this Congress was organized mainly to look after the interests of the farnier and the stockmen of the country, and this view has a considerable basis in the long list of the legislation of the Congress helpful to those industries and interests. It includes such important legislation as the packer bill, which was reported in the House of Representatives within amonth after' the Congress assembled, was passed promptly, and after some delay in the Senate became a law on August 4, 1921; the bill prohibiting gambling in grain futures, which passed the House within 'a month after the Congress convened, and becGmc a law only to be held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. A new measure, believed to be constitutional, was promptly passed and is now(a law. , The co-operative marketing aits was reported to the House of Representatives, and passed that body in less than 30 dayst after the Congress met, and after a long delay in the Senate, it became" law in Feb- ruary last. . these anu otner dims, eniargingne tacuitics ot the land banks, and otherwise aiding and assisting agriculture, have received the prompt attention and consideration ot tne Congress and the House Com mittee on Banking and Currency is now considering a measure intended to supply new and enlarged agriculture credits, j 1 " ' 1 GENERAL LEGISLATION.' But legislation in th'e aid of. agriculture, while it had the firs); attention of Congress, by no means monopolized its energies. The Budget bill which fell" under the ax of Presi dent Wilson's veto wai revived promptly, placed upon the statute books, and through the appointment of Gen. Charles G. Dawes as Budget Director got actively at work. ', ,' . The peace resolution, relieved from the menace of a presidential veto, restored a condition of official peace with the Central Empires. , ' : ; .

The maternity bi;l, the prompt passage of which had been recommended by President Harding, after some delay and vicissitudes, .became a law. .

The foreign debt refunding act provides a commission and authority for the refunding of the $11,000,000,000 debt owed ua by foreign nations. AH these and much more in the way of useful, helpful, and constructive legislation occupied the time and at tention of the Congress. As aesult of economy and good business management of the Nation's affairs thetotal gross debt of tae Nation was ueducod, between May 31. 1919, and June 30, 1922, almost $3,000,000, 000, or to be exact $2,053,492,388.

But we were glad .of the opportunity, as we alwas are to speak a word for our blessed MASTER, And, some how, you know1, we feel at about as much at home there as we do at, our own church. V But then, why shouldn't we, for we are all trying to serve Christ in the best way that we know how; aren't we, and, after all, that's the thing that counts. Well, guess will have to close, or you will get good and tired of our ravings, won't you? So "GOOD BY" and "GOOD LUCK" for the present Hope t? see you Sunday. . .

An exchange, we believe, has about hit the "bulls-eye" when it prints the following: : f - "When a merchant sends but his monthly bills and writes his letters on a five cent scratch pad, a n d printed his name on' heading with a rubber stamp, enclosed in a No. 5 envelop without his return . card printed on the corner, you don't have to look in the newspaper for his advertisement to know the size of his business, A If his stock was judged by the size of his advertise ment, he'd be peddling shoestrings.
