Superintendent Jay Lynch OF the
Yakima Indian agency may loose his
Job. A special agent of the Indian de-
partment is investigating his admins
tration. and according to dispatch to
Seattle paper from Washington, will
report that he is incompetent. Mr..
Lynch is veteran in the Indian serv-
ice, and is widely known among state
politicians. The dispatch in question
says;
"Private advices received here are
that the special agent of the Indian Of
fee who was detailed to examine into
the charges against bonded Superin-
tendent Jay Lynch of the Yakima In
dian agency has sustained the cha. ges
and recommends that Mr.. Lynch be
dismissed or transferred. Nothing of
criminal nature was found against Sup
erintendent Lynch, but the allegations
of special agent Dickson are that he
is incompetent and unsystematic in the
transaction of his official duties.
The case is somewhat analogous, in
the opinion of the Indian Office, to that
of the agent at Puyallup, who recently
resigned rather than to aceapt trans
fer to a minor aEe"cy. Final action
prQhably will not be taken in the Lynch
case until the return of Representative
Jones to the capital"

GOV'NOR LaFOLLETT
Of WISCONSIN WRITES AN
AhIe AarticIe on Government
by Corporations" That is
Worthy Of Reading.
GOVERNOR LaFOLLETT IS A STAUNCh
p.nubIican and Readily Discerns That There
Are Something's That are Radically Wrong
And Sorely Need Correction.

The basic principle of this govern
ment is the will OF the people Have
we today representative government,
where every man has equal voice,
equal rights and equal responsibilities,
or are we rapidly coming to be dom
mated by forces in making and enact
inc our laws, which thwart the will OF
the people and menace the very life of
representative governments? Is our
government of city, state and nation
thoroughly representative of the will of
the people:
"Let us see il the time is not ripe for
new Declaration of Independence.
Today great aggregations of corporate
capital buy immunity from taxation in
almost every legislature, and throw
the burdens which they should bear
onto the individual taxpayer of every
municipality and state. Betrayed by
his representative the individual tax
payer Is over taxed for the benefit Of
the corporation. Government by cor
porations, such as we have today, is as
destructive of the liberties OF the peo-
pie as the exercise of the same power
by foreign monarch. The arbitrary
control of the price of coal and iron
and corn and wheat and beef, whether
by an extortionate transportation rate
or by monster combination, is more
absolute tyrrany of the American peo-
pie than any practiced by King George
III. There can be no such thing as
commercial slavery and individual free
dom. We may have the privilege OF
the ballot the semblance OF democracy
as we have today, but industrial serv-
itude means political servitude No
nopoly In transportation, coal, iron and
the food products, make pretense and
mockery OF political freedom. We are
building up colossal fortunes, granting
unlimited power to corporate organi-
cations and consolidating and massing
together business interests as never be-
fore in the history of the world, but
the people are loosing control OF their
own government Its foundations are
being sapped and It's integrity destroyed
What shall 1t profit man il he gain
the whole world and loose his own soul?'
What shall it profit nation If it gain
untold wealth and its people loose their
liberty? The gravest danger menac-
ing republican institutions today is the
overbalancing control OF city, state and
national legislatures by the wealth and
power of public service corporations.
1t Is this close association of political
and corporate power that defrauds the
publ lie of its rights, defeats legislation
TOR the general good and passes laws to
to promote private interests"
The governor then took up specific
R"oof of these contentious. He charged
boldly that the railroad influence has
had absolute control of both houses OF
congress.

powerful than that OF the people; their

Kittitas?" -, She's All Right!

There came to our desk few days
since small pamphlet in which were
set forth the many virtues of large
number OF our sister cities and towns,
including North Yakima, CleElum and
others of greater or less mportance;b but
in which, take note, not word good
bad or Indifferent was said concerning
our little "Burg".
The fairness of other valleys filled
paragraph and page with most inter-
esting and enchanting pictures of
prosperity present and prospective yet
nowhere line respecting the fair and
beautiful valley we at home know as
Kittitas. The aim and end of this at
tractive little booklet, az set forth
therein, was to become beacon light
guiding the wise man from the east to
select variety of localities where cap
ital may be planted to yield abundanly
and to favored spots where labor will
be most handsomely remuner ated at
once and forever, but no mention is
made OF the garden spot OF our great
State, the valley we call our o wn.
On the streets in Seattle we sa W

Yakima and California. We were glad
to learn from the vender that the former

Instances like the above, often more
pronounced, are of such frequent occur
led to rise and in wrath eXclaim" what's
the matter with kittitas?" Now this
question so frequently asked is all the
more provoking because there is but
one answer whats the matter with
Kttitas?" ''Sbe's all right. No part
of our state has better all round
climate, we are high enough, dry enough
with water enough, as pure as spring
water, as certain as the hills. No
part of our state has a richer or more

in the United States which does not
have the deliberate and active assist

fundamental importance in the prac.

is manifest that any trust legislation

The most superficial study OF the
present conditions demonstrates that
these special interests have no idea OF
yielding to authority of law, or bring
ing their business strictly within legit=

service corporations, these trusts and
corporations OF wealth and power, must
be made to yield to the law, to stand

from eastern, southern and middle
states: even stenographers have been
sent here from other states. This is
wrong, not only politically, but in every
other respect. 1t is not for the good OF

Marcelle, who works for a boule-
ward millinery house, changes the
last hat from show window to box at
1855 p. m. The proprietor of her"
store is expert in getting the greatest
amount of work for the least wages,
but as the midnight bell rings he
generously allows the street door to
be opened, and places himself there
to kiss ''his" girls as they go out-he
would be a brute, indeed, to neglect
that formality. Marcelle accepts the
official oscillations with becoming
charity; a minute later she is off for
the rendezvous. Under a certain
lantern Jean has been waiting for
two long hours to draw his check Oh
the bank OF love and devotion.
Check, I said? A book full of them
there isn't a Jean and Marcelle in
Paris today who are satisfied with
less than a dozen kisses as means for
exchanging the compliments of the
season. Whether the performance
takes place at home or in the open
doesn't matter. The much cherished
greetings over, the happy young peo-
pie walk down the boulevards, arm in
arm, humming the latest ditty ana
laughing uproariously at every
chance remark made or overheard.
Jean boasts that he will spend his
weeks salary, and begins by patroniz-
ing all the hucksters on the way.
What appetites they have. Fried
tomatoes, chicken patties, frank
furters. They hate the Prussians, of
course, but like their sausages ex-
cellently well. Then Marcelle insists
upon treating ice cream. It's sweet
enough 10 be a positive incentive to
kissing. And they are at it again,
having plenty of company in this &C.
cupation, Tor the boulevards are
fairly swarming with lovers, working
people like themselves, and late
patrons of the theater, the opera, and
circus.
