LOCAL GROCERS
ARE HON0RED
THREE ARE SELECTED AS OFF.
GERS OF THE STATE RETAIL
ASSOCIATION.

b. Scholl and j. G.. Muntinga, dele
gates from Walla Walla to the eighth
annual convention of the Washington
State Retail Grocers' association. a:
Seattle, have returned to the city
They report a big time and royal en-
tertainment at the hands of their Sc
! at:le hosts.
! sWalla Walla merchants were hon
ored with several important elections
and appointments. B. Scholl was elect
ed on the board of trustees of the as
ISOLATION. On the committees, ]. G.
Muntinga was appointed a member OF
| the committee on credentials and NJ
c. McGrew a member of the resolu-
| tons committee.
Bellingham was chosen for the
meeting place of the next convention
which will convene at a corresponding
time mex. year.
The meeting was a harmonious one
throughout and much important bust
ness was transacted and many resolu-
tons passed which will be presented
! to congress and the state legislature
Against the post parcel law was
| there the most Indignation. This, say
the retail merchants, means the ruina-
ton of the country. Many reasons
they give for this among them these:
That the trade would soon become n
monopoly in the hands of a few CAPT.
talists; that this monopoly would ul-
timately result in high prices and an
overthrow of the prosperity in places
which depend upon local industries
for support; that retail merchants
would be broken up in business by
carrying a large enough stock to
compete with the mail order houses
that the postal service would be OPP
Grated at a loss in most parts of the
country and the people would have to
put up for their goods in another way
and this profit would go to a few and
that from every point of view the re-
tail trade would be ruined In view
of these facts, the convention passed
! resolutions against the law.
Several other resolutions were
passed, especially concerning pure
food laws and the semi jobber The
convention also passed a resolution
asking for the repeal of the tariff of
six cents pound on butter. Also the
grocers want the tax and license on
butterine and oleomargarine repealed.
Pres. c. z. Coon of the state as
socia.ion was elected delegate to the
ma tionaf conventions which is to be
held in Boston next May.
The convention ended with a ban
quet given to the visitors at Luna
Park. at which there We're about 500

Great Western Tubular Hot Draft

the body of the stove that
and discharges it in a highly
heated condition on top OF
the incandescent fuel. This
TON hot draft is controlled by
a damper in the cover.
The results obtained are
more perfect combustion OF
the gases generated in burn
ing soft coal that commonly
escape unhurned into the f1ue
and a central blast that
forces the heated currents to
the surface of the stove con-
siderably increasing its heat
ing capacity.
The lower draft is admitted
by the screw valve below the
feed door to an air chamber
formed by the casting that
supports the fire pot, and
which :. extends :. entirely
around the inside of the
stove. The air is discharged
through numerous small
holes against the sides of the
pot and passes downward to
the fingers and CRATE, becom-
ing thoroughly heated be-
fore it enters the combustion
chamber.
No cold air is admitted
through the ash pit door, so
tn.at the entire base radiates
heat almost as well as a base
burner. Prices according to
size, $22.50, $25 90 and $4,000.

saloons were opened. One OF them
closed Its doors shortly after, however
because Of lack of business.

Referring 70 the Importance OF a
state highway from Kansas City TO ST
Louis, which should run through Mex.
leo, the Kansas City Star editorially
says; Governor Folks active support
Of the plan for a state highway or
pike" from Kansas City 20 st. Louis
affords the best promise OF success for
that fine enterprise. The Governor is
what may be called a practical idea
3 t,"wh0 Is as fortunate in achieving
things as in promoting the right
standards for the states progress
Missouri has just acquired some
mighty good road laws. The people
now demand some good roads. A file
macadam road east and west across
the state would be- great asset in
itself and would stimulate
the construction Of highways
throughout all the counties.
Let this proposed "pike" be the nn-
cleus for a complete system OF roads
covering the whole OF Missouri. First
this main road-to be built, probably,
by the state in cooperation with the
counties through which it passes
should be begun, and long before it
would be completed the more progress
siye counties would be following its
lead. In little while every locality
would see that il could not afford to
lag behind. The era OF good roads,
national, state and local, has already
dawned. Missouri is In line, and the
plan now urged by Governor Folk is an
effective beginning Of the good work.

The lecture that he will deliver

This opens up another side Of his

TIE carrying Of concealed weapons

THE carrying OF concealed weapons
has resulted In frequent killings
which would have been avoided If the
law had not been violated in this
particular. Judge William II. Wal
lace, well known in Mexico, the Judge
OF the criminal court In Kansas City,
covers this question very pointedly in
addressing James Mcfarland, a negro,
who pleaded guilty of murder. Judge
Wallace said: mcfarland, l am 60
ing TO sentence you to fifty years in
the penitentiary,n Judge Wallace
said. "You were charged with muir
in the first degree and you have plead
ed guilty to second degree. You had
no reason for killing that negro in that
saloon. You were saturated with this
idea Of being q bad mar and a s'bully. -
You went and got a gun and then you
vent out looking for blood and trou-
bic. Now this ruthless killing OF
human beings In Kansas City and
Jackson county must stop. The idea
seems TO be prevalent to strap a gun
on your hip and 60 out and kill some
BODY. Why. this docket in front Of
me here is virtually writer in blood.
Every Monday morning when l open
this docket a murder trial stares me
In the face, meaning that someone has
taken a gun and gone out and killed
somebody else. Human life is held
too cheaply in this community. ! am
going ~ put 3 stop 70 It IL il is In my
pBwer as Judge Of this court. Human
life is q precious thing. Once taken,
it cAnnot be restored. All the wealth
ali the scientific knowledge and all the
prayers OF the world cannot restore
human life The police judge has
tried TO stop this 'igun totin,n but ad-
vantage Is taken OF his court by ap-
peal and the persons convicted seem
70 slip through the net. ! am not
fully determined, but / have about
70 ask the chief Of police 70
send all persons charged with carrying
weapons directly to this
roarL The law ought 10 be enforced
that practice and enforced
rigidly.
