Trees Out Down.

The three trees on Gloucester street
in front of the Treadway property have
been cut down to make room for the
paving of the street bed with vitrihed
brick. The trees were planted more
than halt century ago by Henry Tread
way, who died several years ago. The
roots Of the trees were beyond the curb
ing and obstructed the street bed and It
was found necessary to cut them down
much to the sorrow and regret of not only
the owners but the residents of the entire
street.

THE GOOD OLD TINES"
The 9TH at Olympia as Seen by a Country
lake

We recalled the happy days OF yore,
by visiting Olympia on last 4th of
July. But dear old Olympia, how
thou hast changed! How thou dost
hunger for the sheckels of the visitor
from the country!
These are the days Of expansion.
Give me the good old days OF Liberty,
when Olympia celebrated for enjoy
ment, aud not for her visitors money
in the good old days of the 4th, long
years ago. Olympia merchants did
not then stand in their doorways and
invite the country visitor to step right
inside and get pair of $44S pants
marked down from $3.50, that on the
day We used to celebrate, but now
of use to rake in the sheckels of the
out'of- town people, the restaurants in
Olympia, on the 4,h, were packed with
hungry humanity and grub was dern
scarce. At the sports n visitor would
have had to be at least seven feet
high to have seen anything, if he or
she were not in the front row.
Now in the good old days things
were differently managed; the young
man from the country would get his
or some other fellows best girl, and
while his clothes may not have fitted
like the tailor-made suits of to. day,
and may have been made by grandma
while she were resting from her knit
ting, and while they may have fitted
the young man like horse blanket
on hog, still he was happy. His
boots may have fitted so tightly that
his feet would feel like he was standing
in Hell Jena Montana); he may have
had no sheckels, but he did not need
any. Everything was free. When
the dinner-hour arrived the crowd
wended their way to the picnic
grounds where the tables were piled
high with everything to make the in
ner man happy. There the happy
couples stood and invited an acute at
tack Of dyspepsia by eating all they
could hold; standing first on one foot
and then the other, so their cargo
would lay even, the young man would
exultantly pose beside his best girl,
with q baked chicken in one hand and
a look OF love for his girl in the other.
Then there was those shady timbered
hooks where, after dinner, the young
man could 60 and commune with Ma.
ture and gaze into the clear fawn.like

days to be absorbed by families; at
least the owners and managers Of the
leading equestrian shows-the tent
shows Of the past two decades-are
family affairs, presided over by the
Ringing Brothers, Ave in number, the
Campbells, also five, and several others.
The Sells family consisted OF several
brothers, all showmen, who have
worked together, and separately, as
the fit seized them. William Sells,
the senior member of the firm OF Sells
& Gray, was almost born in the ring,
having begun service as q rider at the
age Of six years. He visited Europe
with the Barnum circus in 1889, and
was the first American who ever rode
before the Queen Of England. His
fame as q bareback rider afterwards
became worldwide.
Mr.. Sells has engaged in almost
every branch of the show business.

Death Of Another Pioneer.

Mrs. A. f. Mann died at the resi-
dence OF her son, c. B. Mann, in this
city, Wednesday afternoon. She was
born in Chester, Mass, in 1922, and
moved with her parents to western
Pennsylvania in 1882, and was mar
ried to the late Rev. S. H. Mann, on
Oct. 9th, 1912. Five children were
born, three OF whom came west with
them in 1864. They settled in Ore
gon, and four years after came to
Olympia, where Mr.. Mann was in
stalled pastor of the M. Z. church, a
position he filled two years, and then
occupied the same field of labor ut Sc
attic and Steilacoom, like period in
each place. He then returned to
Brownsville, Oregon, where Mr.. Mann
held passionate till lis death, in
March, 1876.
Mrs. Mann then came to this place
to reside with her son, who was estab-
lished in business as druggist, and
here she has lived the remainder of
her life, with the exception OF pro.
longed visit to her mother in her
childhood home in Pennsylvania.
She lived an exemplary Christian
life, and for over sixty years labored
devotedly to do her duty as she I'M
derstood it.
A few weeks ago, Mrs. Mann went
on visit to her sisters, Mrs. Carr and
Mrs. Bagley at Seattle, where she was
taken with her last illness, an affec-
ton OF the kidneys. She was brought
home but gradually failed until death
came to her relief.
The funeral rites were held in the
M. f. church at 2 o'clock this after
noon.

appeals for their support in every
case only on the basis of facts
given to sustain its conclu-
sion and recommendation. The APP
peal is to the individual voter through
bulletins printed in the public press, of
which the following is an illustrations:

sides 54l Euclid place; served two terms
in Legislature; in council from 1855 to 1888;

has consistently voted in the interests of

to him portion of his salary. This he ad-
mits, and his ursubstantiated eXplana-
tlon shows a wholly false conception of
the duties of public Office is a politician
for revenue only, and has twice changed
his party ties. He should be defeated"
The league also takes cognizance of
good records and gives candidates
credit for what they may have accom-
plished, as illustrated here:
william X Green, Flfty-second ward,
president Union flour mills, office, Wilson
building; resides 1862 Lake View boulevard; !;
born, Beverly, Mass; elected to council
from old SiXtieth ward in 1891; his cam
he tirelessly waged to a successful termina-
tion at great personal expense, has shown
him a man of force and public spirit; his
council record has been good; his defeat
would be a serious blow to the ward and
the city; all good citizens should vote for
him"
The leagues report on the official
record of the retiring aldermen and
it's information regarding candidates
for election is looked forward to as a
sort of annual judgment, and is gen
orally regarded as the opening of the
aldermanic campaign. Necessarily it
speaks eXcathedra, and its apparently
arbitrary statements are accepted by
citizens who have watched this work
during the last six years, because the
people of Chicago are learning that
back of its expressions are careful,
conscientious and thorough investiga-
tions directed by men who have no
selfish interest.

such as the last, investigators are

portunity to come in and question the
members of the executive committee
Frequently they les rn more regarding
their records, after short session
than they before suspected. Very
often conference with the executive
committee convinces candidate, espe.
clally before the primaries, that the
best thing for him to do is to retire
from the field, rather than have his
corrupt practices exposed.
For example:
during the last campaign a certain
candidate in one of the wards came to
the league offices and asked the
leagues support. He gave references,
agreed to stand by every principle ad-
vanced by the league, and brought
with him letters from prominent men
which indicated that he was a thor
oughly honest business man. Delega-
tons of citizens from his ward came
in to the Offices of the league to tell
of his good qualities. After gathering
all favorable information possible, the
league put its Investigators to work,
and discovered that this man had been
discharged in bankruptcy without
scheduling actual assets, and after
clearing himself of all Indebtedness
had reestablished himself in a pros
porous business as the result of de-
frauding his creditors. 1t was also de-
veloped that he had been indicted for
arson scme years before, that he had
been mixed up in several "shady" pub
lie and private transactions, and was
in politics for revenue only. He was
told that the best thing for him to dc
was to retire, and after having admit.
ted the truthfulness of all the infor.
mat,o presented 20 him he did re-
tire, aIG Il clean, honest and capable
man was elected from the ward he
sought to.represent.
The strength of the league lies in
the fact that it is Independent OF

Na'' lean government.
Some of the most worthy men of the
:lty are now in the council, and al
,hough there is more or less strong
minority of gangsters in evidence, the
standards of honor, efficiency and gem
eral municipal ideas are winning in
the fight for supremacy.
The result of the election this year
was a surprise to the political bosses
of both parties. The brazen impu-
dence of partisan dictators, who trad
ed nominations for the benefit of
themselves, was rebuked, and candi-
dates for the city Legislature whose
regulations were notorious were for
the most part defeated, enabling the
council to be organized on nonpar-
tisan basis in the best interests of the
city.
This local development is actually
due, in large measure, to the Munich
pal Voters league. an organization of
citizens of all parties which is devoted
to laborious Investigations and fear
less reports of the personal record of
all candidates for aldermanic honors.
In this letter, owing to lack of space,
but little may be said of the origin of
the league, its manner of communica-
ton to the voters through the public
press and its final report of facts
which enable voters to form their own
conclusions.
The campaign methods of the league
are unique. 1t assumes that char

So influential has the league become
tlat the city council is being strength

business and professional men. The
league frequently seeks out a repre-

to oInduce him to accept the nomination

givers are powerless, because the

cannot be influenced by money.

The executive committee includes the
officers of the league in it's member
ship, which is nine. There is also ain
advisory committee and finance com
mittee. The danger of personal pref
erence on behalf of any candidate is
avoided by the rule which prevents any
expression of the league being issued
except "by order of the executive com
mittee." AS this committee is com
posed of members of both political
parties, the likelihood of favoritism is
avoided, and the public is assured that
its recommendations are always non
partisan.
Since the establishment of the sue
cessful work of the league in Chicago
voters in other cities desiring to se-
cure release from partisan municipal
control and corrupt public officials
have written to its officers asking for
information which would enable them
to perfect an organization along sim.
