Announcement.

Since publishing the article in
the Wenatchee Daily World on De-
6 entitled Minister Forsakes God
for Mammon,' we have found that
we were misinformed as to the true
facts in the matter and that wrong
conclusions were drawn from the
acts of the minister referred to.
AS nearly as We can ascertain from
statements of representative citizens
hose integrity we cannot doubt, the
following are the true facts in the
matter:
A committee of Wenatchee citi-
zens, headed by w. T. Rarey, during
the last week in November collected
by subscription from saloon men,
business men, professional men and
members of the Episcopal church.
the sum of $75 which was given
to one of the ministers in this city
as Thanksgiving contribution and
to show their friendship and ap-
probation of his work. The contri--
button was given the minister dur
ing Thanksgiving week and on No
vember 2S he wrote W. r. Rarey a
letter thanking him for the money.
In this connection we are reliably in
formed that it has been the custom
in several previous years to collect
a fund by subscription from the
business men of the city to be de-
voted to one of the various churches
of the city and that, W. T. Rarey has
in every instance. been delegated t
collect the money and turn it owe;
to the church.
So far as We. can now ascertain
the contribution this year was given
purely as token of good will and
without reference to politics and
o obligation was implied in
any way that the minister take
stand other than he considered his
duty We find that we were misin-
barter that the minister lend his in
1uence to the cause of the Citizns'
ticket. We now have information
which convinces us that the minis
>ter's attitude in city politics has un-
dergone no change in the last year
and sincerely regret that we should
nave done him the injustice to state
that he sold his influence in the last
election.
1t has furthermore been stated
to us that the minister did not ac-
lively engage in the work of securing
votes for the Citizens ticket on
'sday last. While he took part in
the Citizens caucus and was entire
ly in sympathy with that party and
it's candidates during the campaign,
we were wrong to conclude that his
attitude was induced by the donation
of SIS given him by the committee
headed by Mr.. Rarey, for, as stated
before, we now have every reason to
believe that his ideas on city gov
ernment have been throughout the
present city campaign the same that
he had held for some time.
We regret that we should have
published misinformation and that
,, situation arose whereby it was pos
sible to place a wrong construction
upon the acts of one of the ministers
of our city. We are glad that we
may publish this explanation and
right any wrong which may have
been done.

A perusal of them will show
that five are local in character,

the people of that city desire that
they be passed. Number ten re.

Crowley Signal.
A workingman commenting on
the Signals series of articles re-
Gently published relative to buy
ing at home says the merchant
and the man of affairs must follow
the same general idea. He points
to the fact that the general pros
perity of a city depends upon its
people being able to obtain work
and that no contract which can be
carried out by home people
should be given to others. This
man said he had no particular
case in mind but he gave it as his
opinion that reciprocity could be
practiced more extensively than
it has been in the past. He
found no fault with people who
had contracts which could not be
performed here, either by reason
of a lack of technical knowledge
on the part of the contractor or
inability to obtain labor, skilled
or common.
He said the buy at home idea
rests on a great common sense
foundation and that the man who
violates it is doing himself and
the town an injustice which will
react on himself and the commu-
nifty because anything which ad,
versely affects the one is detri,
mental to the other. He said the
employment of home men was no
less important because the abili'
ty to buy at home depended upon
employment of the people.
It is highly important that nc
opportunity be lost to provide
employment for home people.
If individuals are prosperous the
community will be prosperous
If the individual is out of work
the community stagnates. prop
erty values, other things being
equal, have no upward trend
business languishes and the com
munity spirit is crushed.
The Signal can hardly believe
the situation here is very bad in
respect to the matter at issue
There may be cases here and
there of discrimination, some o.
which, it may be, have been un
just to local people. If there
are any this expositionis respect

stand how that particular conju-

4th. Does the Funding act authorizing
such fund limit such lsYies to ton tlO
years from date of the new bonds. l
SO, could the commissioners legally
annul the law, and by @ contract will
the present bond holders. impose thi
annual tax upon the people.

authorized ones?
9th. II it has been so diverted, 9
