Government of Whimseys.

This country has been drifting to-
ward personal government in late
years at an alarming pace. Types Of
the infamous autocratic rule as endur-
ed in Russia spring up on all sides.
There every petty official thinks that
In his district he is the business end Of
the long arm Of the infallible ear. In
nocents are fogged, crammed into dun
geons, robbed under the guise of fines
and even sent to Siberian horrors at
the within of some man whom accident
has foisted into power. For some rea-
son there has developed all over this
country tendency on the part of GER
tain class Of officials to do things re-
CARELESS of precedent or right.
A case in point is that of the young
woman who was tricked into the Gus
tody OF immigration officials and order
ed to be deported without shadow of
chance to clear herself Of the charge
trumped up against her by man In

try. Publicity called the attention of
Washington to the case, and decent
respect for individual right and public
opinion led to halt in the proceedings.
It was admitted that there is no war
rant for the action, simply clause in
the immigration laws. placed there for
an entirely different purpose, that could
be stretched to justify this case of per-
secution
Government by law must necessarily
give discretion to the executors of the
law. But decent respect for public
sentiment would guard officials from
making the law either yoke or by
word The American people will never
give up the point that the accused shall
be considered innocent until guilt is
proved And il the law is to be stretch
ed at all it should be to favor the sub
ject of doubt Whims may be merely
escape gaps for the hystericai impulse.
An official wants to make record and
blazes away at the first target. More
official sanity and less official vanity e
the need OF the hour.

Up Ch.na;s Sleeve.

The world will refuse to take seriou.
" this. vague talk about TRANSFORMED
ton in China until something really
happens. 1t is now said that this con
dition will be met on the approaching
Chinese new year by the abdication OF
the dowager empress. whose rule has
no strict parallel in the history Of en-.
pires. What of the good and the bad
in China should be charged to the slave
girl whose pretty face lifted her to the
mastery of 4OO.OOO,OO0 beings will per
haps never be known. Wherever the
balance lies the passing Of Tzu Hsl
from the throne cannot leave cause for
regret. The world demands the trans
formation of China, whether the native
populace is ripe for it or not, and the
aged ruler is credited with the sense
to know that the task of guiding the
ship on its new course Is for younger
hands,
The succession to the imperial throne
Of China is in state of sadly compli-
Gated uncertainty. There is strong
antidynastic feeling prevalent through
out the empire and multiplicity OF
claimants. There are many clever
minds in China and several powerful
viceroys holding liberal and progressive
views. 1t may be that constitution
will be adopted as notice to the pow
ers that the Celestials are trying to be
up to date in government and must be
let alone to work out their own saliva
ton. Again, ruler of warlike vigor
might be. expected to restore the en-
pire to it's ancient rank as military
power Vast armies have been gath
cred and trained and equipped in mod
ern style Where the machinery of
war is created there is usually public
sentiment to demand head capable of
using it. Whatever the outcome it is
plain from the agitations stirring this
vast aggregation of people that China
Is moving either forward or backward
forward to higher national civiliza-
ton or backward to national anarchy,
with tribal divisions making policies
and waging war on their own hook. In
other words, signs point to transforms
ton or partition as China's fate.

Of Seattle advertising? Not bit

of Seattle advertising? Not bit
of it.
Does Wenatchee get less notice on
account of the big booster associa-
ton at Spokane? Every man in this
valley who has been observing knows
the advertising of that city gives di-
rect results in favor of Wenatchee.
Wenatchee has spent thousands Of
dollars In advertising her products,
and as result of this advertising,
not only the people here, but the
growers OF the up-river country are
getting higher prices for their fruit.
This advertising is establishing mar
kets not only our own country but
in lands beyond the sea.
Wenatchee is a well advertised
town, but the people here have spent
thousands of dollars in time ami
money to make it SO. We're grow
ing; of course, we're growing.
Couldn't help it when people find out
what opportunities there are here.
Over in Spokane they are whoop-
ing it up for Spokane.
Over in Seattle they are whooping
it up for Seattle.
Both places have good word to
say occasionally for Wenatchee. But
the fact remains that Wenatchee
must work out her own salvation
The above facts hold good with
reference to the Okanogan in its re-
lation to Wenatchee.
So that, instead of suffering By
reason of Wenatchee's advertising,
the people of the Okanogan are get
ting direct benefit. The people
are getting higher prices for their
fruit. The attention of the world
is being called to Okanogan through
Wenatchee publicity.
Does the Herald think that Wenat-
chez should turn loose few thou
sand dollars in advertising the seve-
raj localities in the upper country.
We think not.
We hear conversation semi-occa-
sionally about Wenatchee taking
the credit, etc." Thus far, Wenat-
chez has put up all the money for
publicity except in a few, very few,
cases. As a natural result, the cred
1t comes to Wenatchee just like 'the
bread cast upon the waters"

A NARROW VIEW.

The vigorous complaint from the
Brewster Herald is an exposition OF
one of the many causes why Wenat-
chez loses friends at home. The
same complaint is heard all along the
river and up around Lake Chelan.
1t is known locally that the great
orchards in the up-river flats produce
more and finer fruit than is grown
in the Wenatchee valley, but on &C
count of the shipping facilities and
the commercial organizations of the
river town that little valley gets
practically all the credit of it, This
paper agrees entirely with the Her
aid that the only way for the up-river
folks ito get what is coming to them
is for them to form associations SINH
lar to that in existence at Wenatchee.
As surely as they postpone such &C
ton and as long as heir fruit is
shipped through Wenatchee that val
ley will continue to reap the benefit
products from other places.-etaoi

products from other places.-Wil-

The above editorial which appear.
ed in the Wilson Creek World and
copied this week in the Brewster

in THE inferences drawn the Wilson

d1ave taken a narrow stand.

LOVE AFFAIRS AND ADvERTIs-

LOVE AFFAIRS AND ADVERTIS-
ING.-Two hundred and fifty
years ago Francis, Duke of Roche
foucald, wrote that ut is possible
to meet with women who have
never had an affair of gallantry;
but it is rare to find anyone who
has had only one!" In these days
our philosophy has a habit of turn
ing from sentimental themes to
practical Ones-from affairs of the
heart to affairs of the purse. So,
to paraphrase the old writer, It is
possible in these days to find peo-
pie who have never advertised;
but it is rare that you will find
people who have advertised but
once!
