was asked.
YES" said Mr.. McMullen, my
brother and | made up a sum suf-
ficient to carry her back to Nebraska,
where her husband is doing canvass
ing work, but she refused to go.
Her husband used to be railroad
man. The year they were first mar
ried they lived with us, during the
whole of one winter, leaving when
warm weather came and there was
work to be done. And even then
her husband told the neighbors that
l had asked him to leave, after he
had been with me all winter without
paying any board money"
Mr.. McMullen further said that
both he and his brother William
were willing to take care of her, in
spite of the fact that they had fam
lilies of their own to look after, pro-
vided she would behave as sister
should, and not endeavor to make
trouble among their families.
Mrs. Carey is said to have two
married sisters, Mrs. Coombs and
Mrs. Osborne, who are living on
farms in the Wenatchee valley.
Charles McMullen says that Mrs.
Carey's husband has often sent her
money during the winter, as much as
hundred dollars that he knows of,
and that she has also had assistance
from the church And that he would
have helped her at any time had she
come and asked him, instead of
applying TO the city authorities for
aid.
The two McMullen brothers were
in town Wednesday afternoon, for
the purpose of making some ar
engagements for the settlement of the
'mbroglio which has grown out of
he circumstance.
Mayor Scheble was interviewed
over the telephone last night and
said that he has just seen the Nc

buy ticket for their sister, Mrs
Carey, and arrangements were made
for sending her back to Nebraska

| submit the following:
1st. l am opposed because cheap
building is to be built in a residence
district simply to escape building
what law isluires in the business

End. No man Las right to erect

a residence district that will deprici-

church purposes, allow building
such as is proposed and the moral
right is tsken away to prohibit a
nuisance in other sections.
4th. 1t is poor business policy to
arouse the opposition of the pub
lie, as will be the case if this project
is carried through.
5th. Civic pride ought to prohibit
such thing on the part of any citi-

Another Resident Opposes Barn.

Another Resident Opposes Barn.
Wenatchee, April Is, 1907.
Editor World:
1t would be an outrage on the
property owners of an already thick
ly settled residence district to have
such nuisance as a livery stable,
built in close proximity, causing the
depreciation of full one-half of the
present valuation, and making houses
untenable as homes.
l believe if all interested would
make complaint to the city council
steps would be taken to stop the
erection of same at once.
To place a barn on the alley would
practically ruin nearly all the homes
on North Mission street, and de-
preciate the value of property for at
least three blocks, so let every one
register kick ON the outrage and
nuisance.
Very respectfully,
L. H. BELSER.

The question of caring for INDECENT
citizens has involved the mayor, the
council, and the McMullen brothers,
fruit growers living four miles up
the valley, in disagreeable contro-
versy.
The World representative found
the whole story rather difficult to
gather, there being much eln1icting
rumor as to whether or not the Nc
Mullen brothers really neglected
their sister, Mrs. Cary, whose desti-
tuition forms the theme of this news
story.
The mayor and the council say
that Mrs. Cary has been neglected,
that she is in Strengthened circum-
stances, the mother of small chill
dren, and that it is incumbent on
the two brothers, not only under
natural laws but under section 376
of the State Code, to render her
aid and assistance. The brothers
say that they have helped her, and
are willing to contribute to her sup
port now, provided she conducts her.
self as a sister should, and refrains
from creating discord among their
respective families.
Mrs. Carey came here last De-
cember, from Nebraska, and has
lived in a small cottage near the
railroad yards. During the winter
months she became destitute, and
applied to the city for aid. AS there
had been some uncertainty as to the
city's responsibility for charity
cases of this kind, very little as
sistance was extended to her, she
being told that hers was an affair
for the county officials to look out
for
Some time ago, when she first
asked for aid, Councilman Nichols
approached Charles McMullen, one
of the brothers on the street, and
told him that his sister, Mrs. Carey,
was in urgent need of the necessities
of life, and asked that he do some
things Mr. McMullen Immediately
went home, and secured a large
amount of supplies, including forty
pounds of beef and some vegetables,
which he brought in to his sister.
Mrs. Carey for awhile lived with
her brother, William McMullen, who
provided for her and her children,
without charge. When asked by the
World representative, would you
take her back now" Mr.. McMullen
replied:

One of the liveliest rows In the
history of Wenatchee's breezy ca
reer is looming up on Chelan avenue.
]. A. Miller stands in the spot
light.
Mr.. Miller is proprietor of the Ar
row Transfer Co.
Some time ago he bought five
lots on Chelan avenue, opposite the
residences Of John Godfrey, A. F:
Anderson, ]. s. Mooney, and in the
same block with j. M. Duffy, ]. E.
Mills, and E. D. Scheble.
He says he win build livery sta
BILE there. and keep horses in it.
Now horses have always been init
mately associated with milk wagons
and manure heaps, and other I'M
slightly accessories, and the people
in the community are sore.
The residents of the threatened
district say livery barn built among
them will be nuisance.
Miller says it's not nuisance, and
that the barn is going up.
Against him the execration of the
residents of that aristocratic COM
munity are being leveled-but he
isn't worried bit. He says its his
business, that he bought the five lots
stretching from Chelan avenue to
Mission street, and that he intends
to build livery stable there in spite
of the anvil chorus of the people
who own homes in the. vicinity
Yesterday the World published
letter of protest from John Godfrey,
the county auditor, who lives in the
aroused district. So far today two
letters have come in, one from l.. H.
Belser, and one from Rev. Jessup,
which are reproduced in another
column.
Speaking to the World editor this
morning Mr.. Belser, who called con-
corning the question, said:
I've just bought $4,000 worth of
property next to the site of Mr.. Mil
ler's proposed livery barn. If he
builds it where he says he intends to
it will be located just across the al
ley from my house, and within a few
feet of my back door. Mr.. property
won't be worth a half of what it
cost me if this man carries out his
plans. Who ever heard of building
livery stable in such portion Of
city? Might as well open a saloon
or start brewery there. If he real
ly does what he says he's going to
do, I will offer him my property for
half of what l paid for it. l have no
objections to Mr.. Miller doing all
the livery business he possibly can,
but he's running chance of queer
ing himself with his patrons in the
city by antagonizing them in this
way"
U. K. Lail of the Weratchee Fur
niture company. discussing the que5-
ton with World man, said, Eve
built those houses up there for our
homes. If we had known that livery
stable was to be built there, we
would have put our houses some
where else. am very much opposed
to the barns being built there, or
for that matter in any other resi-
dence section Of our beautiful city.
I am not objecting to Mr.. Miller
building livery barn. only / think
he should build i some place else. "

Hear the tale OF bygone ages.
When the world was all in warfare
When the hosts OF light and darkness
Sought to conquer with their forces
When the Muses. came in armor,
Held the spear and dOnned the helmet,
And the song was clad In iron
In the clash Of mighty weapons,
And the cry OF warning fOemens
Fairy Story stood affrighteds
Stood ahrighted and was weeping;
While the others fought to conquer
Her desire was but to hutter.
Like a butterfly in summer,
From the leaves to fragrant flowers.
So I prest her to my bosom,
Most beloved OF the muses.
Took her to the sylvan meadows,
To the green and shady places,
Where the flowers nestled coyly
At the feet Of forest giants,
Where the Rock OF Ages speaketh,
And the brook an anthem singeth-
There, in Natures blessed silence,
Have I slumbered, softly dreaming,
Till a fairy's wand OF magic
Touched my ear 10 deeper nearing
And I heard a thousand voices,
Heard the poppy and the daisy,
Heard the pine tree and the brOOkleC
And the rocks enchanting story.
What I dreamed in sweetest moments,
What felt in solemn silence,

FARlTERS UNPROTECTED.

II is perhaps not generally known
that there was imported into the Unit
ed states during the fiscal year 1906,
7O.s79,179 pounds OF cotton to the
value Of S1OST5,433 which makes the
price Is $40 cents a pound in the
country from which imported II is
estimated that there Will be imported
from Egypt alone this year about 49,
600 bales Of cotton, which will cost
$1O.OOO,OOO as the Egyptian cotton
being long staple Of the sea-island va
riety, it sells for a much better price
than our upland cotton This i'm
ported cotton only completes with our
sea-isIand product and as there is not
sufficient Of that quality raised here
10 supply the demand, it is probable
that the price Of the home product is
not reduced by those imports
As there is no tariff on cotton the
southern planter is not protected from
competition, but as he is now receiv-
ing a fair price for his product with
rising market, he is making money.
The republican theory Of protecting
the wheat farmer with tariff tax OF
25 cents a busheI is shown, by the
low price Of wheat during the past
year. to be useless, because no product
can be protected from competition, by
placing a tariff tax on it, OF which
there is a surplus that must be sold
abroad Our surplus OF both cotton
and wheat must be sold in the mar
kets of the world in competition with
the surplus of other countries and the
demand in those markets regulates the
price Of the whole crop wherever
grown and wherever sold.
The tariff tax on wheat was not
included in the Dingley law to pro-
tect the wheat farmer, but as decep-
tive snare to lure him to continue to
vote the republican ticket and the re-
publican leaders who enacted a tariff
on wheat knew they were trying to
deceive the wheat farmer when they
put it into the law. They would have
likewise placed a tariff tax on cotton
to try and deceive the cotton grower,
but as these were all democrats such
a tariff tax would have been politi-
caIly useless.
The growing political independence
OF the farmers OF the wheat-grOwing
states has been brought about by their
discovery that protection does not
protect the farmer, but does impose
a heavy tax on him by the high prices
that the tariff protected trusts charge
for what he buys. Those intelligent
farmers who have always supported
democratic policies know this and now
their republican neighbOrs are also
having their eyes opened

FUTURES.

The Wall Street Journal IS becOm-
ing uneasy. It says: For centuries
the supreme court was how shall the
great majority secure liberty and
equality OF opportunity against the
power Of the small privileged min
oritv. The time may come when the
problem viii be reversed, and when
the question shall be how 70 preserve
the rights OF the small minority
against the power Of the great ma
JOrity. Looking at it from every point
Of view the tyranny Of a despOtic ma
tority can be more unjust and DO more
harm than the tyranny OF a despotic
minority
The Journal IS looking far into the
future for trouble
So long as the American people
provide, in their tariff, shelter for the
trusts that Cypress them; so long as
they give to the national bankers the
privilege Of Ioaning the peoples mon
ey to the people; so long as a hand
fuI Of men are permitted to control
the insurance business Of the country
and a coterie OF captains OF finance"
are permitted TO manage the trans
portation business; so long as the
trust magnates are allowed to Tx the
price the producer receives and the
price the consumer pays; so long as
every agency OF man and Of govern
ment-the farmers product, the
means Of transportation, the state leg
isIature, the congress and all too often
the court itself-seems to have been
created for the special use and benefit
Of men who neither toll nor spin, and
so long as men who raise a voice in
protest against these conditions are
discouraged in their good efforts by
the failure OF their fellows TO appre-
ciate their labor, or by the attacks
Of an ignorant OF a venal press-there
is not great need for worry concern
