Washing Day,

The Mayflower drifted into Massa-
chusetts bay and lay at anchor out
side in a little sheltered cove. The
fathers had gone ashore to see if
there was place suitable for landing.
The morning was Monday and it SEEM
ed that the old-fashioned desire to
tidy up came over the hearts of the
good housekeeping women of the lit
tie band.
The women were rowed to shore,
and in the cold, salty water of the bay
this Monday in November, 1920, the
first ladies in America washed and
scrubbed in the good English fash
ion, too. Fires were built, water
heated and clothes spread out on the
trees and snow. When all was finish
ed to the satisfaction of the women
they sighed with pleasure and said:
Cleanliness is akin to Goodness"
Do you know this is history? Yes,
it is, though not as dry as history
sometimes is. Anything is history that
shows the spirit of the times. and this
washday in America showed the spirit
of the first arrivals.-Boston Globe.

the Officers care to have around, be-
ing entirely too glib and fresh, con-
sequently he was told that he must
leave town by IL o'clock or he would
be arrested for peddling without a
license. This order he said he would
obey If he felt like doing so, and as a
result he was locked up then and
given a sample of the city's hospital

willing to leave when released.

News reached the city yesterday of
the sudden death at Pomeroy of j..
H. Walker the prominent Garfield
county sheepman. The cause of death
was heart disease. Mr.. Walker had
a wide acquaintance throughout the
Inland Empire and highly respect

years he was associated with the firm
of Walker e Fuller, but few years
ago purchased the interest of Mr..
Fuller and has since conducted the

HILL Is DOUBLY LIABLE.
Can BE Held for DETACHMENT and As
sauIt With Knife,

Charles Hill, a Swede. who smashed
the glass in the doors of the Imperial
restaurant this morning, was fined $40
for his offense by Recorder Fitz Ger
aid this afternoon. However, he was
not released when that amount was
paid, but was held for the district at
torney on the charge of using a dam
gerous weapon, it having been brought
out at the trial that he had also at
tackled the cook at the restaurant with
knife. Also, Hill is open to arrest
on another state charge, that of de-
facing a building. consequently he
may have to pay dearly for his early
morning hilarity.
In the absence of District Attorney
Phelps the duties of that office are
being attended to by John McCourt.

RETURNING TO OMAHA.
Famous Gasoline Motor Car Proved
Imprncticable.

A gasoline motor car, Union Pacific
No, l, was an object of interest at the
o. r. & N. yards today. The car,
which is the same which passed
through here going west some time
ago, is now being taken back to Oma-
ha, apparently in disgust. 1t is in
charge of a crew of several men, and
was held here for several hours during
the middle of the day.
In size the motor is about half as
long as a passenger coach, and is fit
ted with a cowcatcher and headlight
in front. However the front end is
pointed, making the car somewhat re-
semble the prov of a battleship. While
a very formidable looking affair, it
is evidently not of much force, as a
member of the crew said it could hard
ly keep going itself, without any car
attached.

Practically all of the wheat Of the
highland section Is spring sown, much
of it being land that was seeded after
the freeze last winter. and consequent
ly harvest has been later in commenc-

ally being more fall wheat to be cut

BROKE RESTAURANT WINDOW.
Drunken Man Tries to Clean Out the
Imperial.

About o'clock this morning a
stranger who was too drunk to be de-
sirable, entered the Imperial restau-
rant, formerly the Gratz and on being
ordered to leave the place by the man
in charge, proceeded to raise a row.
Evidently he believed in the Carrie
Nation tactics, for after being put out
he secured a rock and broke out the
glass in the double door at the front
of the restaurant.
He was soon arrested by the night
officers, but was too drunk to be
placed on trial this morning, and is
still neld in Jail awaiting the time
when he can be presented and allow
ed to pay for the damage inflicted.
However, as his effects consisted of a
knife and $2.35, it may be impossible
for him to square the matter.

Senator Gamble changed cars here
Tuesday on his way to the northern
part OF the state. Speaking OF the
throw-down which he had received at
the hands OF Senator Kittredge, whom
he regards as responsible for the candi-
dacy of Congressman Martin for his
seat in the senate, he was plain, but
not vindlctise. He has no censure for
Mr.. Martin, whom he regards rs n fine
gentlemen of ability. But he believes
an injustice has been done him, and
that the people of the state will not
sanction it. He has served the state
faithfully to the best of his judgment,
ard believes, unless lie has done wrong,
that he is entitled To Is second serm.
In the interest OF party harmony he
has submitted quietly 10 conditions as
they came, and has not interfered with
the ambitions OF others, but the game
has at last been exposed, and Senator
Gamble accepts the situation philO

MR., CRAWFORD AND THE COMING CAM.
PAHGN.

During the week Hon. Coe. /. Craw-
ford has given out an interview at
Huron on state matters. He announces
that he has something more elaborate
still 10 give the people which will prob
ably be delivered at the State Fair at
Huron early next month. He leaves
1t uncertain as to just what his personal
attitude in the coming campaign will
be, point upon which he may have
something to say at that time.
We find ourselves in sympathy with
a good many Of the positions taken by
Mr.. Crawford. What he says on the
railroad rate question Is incontrovertl-
BILE, lucid and cogent. Readers of the
COURIER are familiar with the position
this newspaper has taken In this mat
ter the past few months, which is prac-
tically Mr.. Crawford's ground as taken
in this interview. Federal supervision
OF insurance, divorce and interstate
commerce Mr.. Crawford and this news

were in favor of submitting the pri-
mary law to vote of the people and
criticised the legislature for suppress
ing the petition to that effect. Here,
however. we part ways, for the CoURTER
did not approve the law itself and
would have worked against ii had it
been submitted.
Mr.. Crawford makes one charge
against Senator Gamble which is en-.
tirely uncalled for and unf0umded. He
links Senator Gamble and Representa-.
tive Holman together in the charge
that they stood with the machine in
suppressing the cons titutional right tC
petition. So far as Representative
Holman Is concerned this charge viii
probably not be denied, but so far al
Senator Gamble Is concerned it is en-
tirely an assumption. Mr.. Crawford
apparently jumps to the conclusion
that since Mr.. Holman is Mr.. Gamble
law partner they both held the same
position and were In sympathy with
the same views. This is no more TO bt
taken for granted than that Mr.. Gam
