court room of tho court house Monday
evening to give expression to their
hearty and earnest endorsement of the
course persued by our fellow townsman
Congressman G W Norris in his light
for a revision of the rules of he national
house of representatives to the end that
more representative legislation and gov
ernment be secured and that by the
same token special privilege be checked
This action was inspired and prompt
ed by the recent successful effort of
Congressman Norris in the house in se
curing tho adoption of a motion making
it the duty of the house to appoint its
own committee to investigate the Bal
linger charges and the interior depart
ment
The meeting was organized by calling
to the chair Dr C L Fahnestock and
the selection of H W Conover as secre
tary and the appointment of C W
Taylor P S Heaton LW McConnell

mittee ou resolutions
During the absence of the committee
while formulating the resolutions several
citizens gave utterance to their senti
ments on the subject and person in
hand
J A Wilcox Dr J D Hare J F
Forbes and others responded briefly to
the call
The expressions of the speakers of
the evening indicated their harmony
with the moral political awakening of
tho people especially of the great Middle
West and cryetalized in the subsequent
adoption of these hearty and stirring
resolutions endorsing and encouraging
ttie course persued and the ends t o far
accomplished h Congressman Norris
A t the conclusion of the meeting thoi e
present affixed their names to the reso
lutions adopted and these wero forward
ed by mail to the congressman in Wash
ington where the wire bad already ca
ried him the language of the vote of
LOLfidence of his towns people
Following is the resoluions adopted
We the citizens of McCook and
neighbors of George W Norris in mass
meeting assembled do hereby pass the
following resolutions

pose his unfeigned loyalty to the peo
ples interests and his persistent effort
in the endeavor to attain such a re
vision of the rules as will make the
house of representatives a truly repre
sentative body We do hereby heartily
and unreservedly endorse the firm and
fearless stand taken by our congress
man in the contest now being waged
in congress against a one man power
and for a return of representative gov
ernment Especially do we command
him for refusing to abandon this
righteous cause when refusal meant
humiliating punishment We believe in
the cause of the insurgents and com
ment their courage We are unalter
ably apposed to the present system
under which laws are enactea by a
few for the benefit of a few contrary
to the wishes of the people We ex
tend to him our unqualified endorse
ment of his position in the endeavor to
be a real representative of the people
and an opponent of machine legislation
as practiced in the national congress

The Truth About Japan
In the fourth number of the Citizens
Entertainment and Lectuic Course Dr
Thomas E Green will discuss the Japa
nese question which has been holding
so much of the diplomatic attention of
the world for the past two jears
Tne committee hardly knows what
language to use to impress your mind
with the excellence of Dr Greens work
on tho platform Ibere are lecturers
and lecturers But the difference in
merit is as wide as can be imagined
Many so called lecturers are not worthy
of the name in any way Every public
minded citizen who boasts of a taste for
the better things in a cultural way
ought to hear Dr Green on January
25 at the Temple theatre The time may
come soon when every citizen will be
called upon to vote on questions pertain
ing to Japanese policy The Japanese
labor question is yet unsolved
Dr Green and his work are known
wherever there is an intellectual public
The dignified News of Lynchburg Va
said Dr Green is the most intellect
ual man on the American platform
It was the Boston Advertiser that in a
bit of most enthusiastic comment called
him the Webster of ihe West
And the Richmond Va Times-Dispatch
one of the most conservative pap
ers in America said editorially Dr
Greens lecture of last night was tho
best heard here in ten years excepting
none although in that time wo have
had some of the most celebrated orators
in the world
Such praise miht seem extravagant
but the merit is back of all of it
Did anyone make our flag Ah no
By colors that will not fade
By sinuous sweep and by deathless glow
It is us that the flag has made
And it whispers today to each star told
state
You must hold me high and must keep
me great DrGreea
