Changes Proposed.

Changes Proposed.
The anti-saioon advocates started
early and their campaign was under
good momentum before the liquor in
terests realized il. The first victory
was the passage by the last legisla-
ture OF a law divorcing the brewery
and the retail interests. Now II is
proposed to pass a local option law
This will give all the voters in a
county an opportunity OF incorporated
towns We're permitted 10 decide
whether the town should be wet or
dry.
The county voters are expected TO
put the saloons out of business in 20
per cent. Of the counties. This
would result in a prohibition iegisla-
ture being elected and put the tenn
psrance advocates in control.
The next sep, as mapped out, is
10 secure the passage of a precinct
and ward option law. Such law
would make ii optional whether sa-
looms should be allowed in any par
ticular ward. and In cities like Omaha.
South Omaha, Lincoln and others OF
their class. all saloons would be in
the down town sections.
The influence OF the temperance
movement already has been felt in
the Nebraska state platform, written
by William ]. Bryan and presumed
to be a model of what he would have
adopted by the Denver convention.
Bryan Refused.
On the night preceding the Ne
braska Democratic convention Mr..
Bryan administered a singing rebuke
to the brewery interests. He was
going over the proposed platform
with the men who had been selected
10 act on the resolutions committee.
". S. Shoemaker, an Omaha attor-
ney, was selected 10 present -
committee a personal liberty plank
for insertion in the platform. SHE
had considerable trouble securing a
hearing at all, and when he finally
was given minuate to present his
plank, Mr.. Bryan rpelied that it should
find no place In the resolutions, add
Ing the remark:
I'VE might as we'll say we are
with the brewers and be done with

The following afternoon, when the
platform was being dressed up for
presentation to the convention, Shoe
maker again appeared and attempt
ed to secure hearing. He was re-
fused admttance to the committee
room.
Other state leaders, including Mayor
Dahlman, OF Omaha, admit they see

EXHIBIT THE
PRODUCTS
Chas. Bishop in Town to Interest We-
natchee People i'm Such an
Exhibit.

Mr.. Chas. Bishop of Seattle, we'll
known to Wenatchee people, is in
town for a few days seeking to fur
ther plans for the establishment of a
Wenatchee exhibit in Seattle, similar
to the public exhibit of North va
kima products at Spokane
When approached by World re-
porter this morning Mr.. Bishop stat
ed that not only was such an exhibit
a good advertisement for the valley,
but that it was almost a necessity.
There are at present but few men
in Seattle who handle Wenatchee real
estate and these men are handicap
ped in their demonstration of the
values of Wenatchee properties by
lack of Wenatchee exhibits. 1t Is
Mr.. Bishops idea to place in various
windows along the main street of
Seattle exhibitions of the products
of the valley proper and medals and
prizes won by Wenatchee in county
and state exhibitions. These exhibits
will not only attract tie attention
of Seattle people but can not help
attract and interest visitors to that
city and prospective settlers. In a
matter of this sort the business men
and farmers should take hold with
Mr.. Bishop and his project and make
the thing success.
1t is Mr.. Bishops earnest desire
that these exhibits should be placed
before the arrival of the fleet be-
cause of the attraction that they will
prove to the large number of visitors
in Seattle during the fleets stay.

MORE WATER IN
BELMONT AND
PEAChY ADDITIONS
Belmont and Peachey Additions
Now Supplied with City
Water.

The residents of Peachey and Bel
mont additions are rejoicing over the
fact that they can now get city water
instead of having to depend upon
the daily supply from the water wa
gon which has been circulated
through that section of town, the
water being hauled from the Colum-
bia river.
Water Superintendent ShSrburne
has had a crew OF men up in that
part of the city. for some time laying
water mains and digging bitches
and the work Is now almost COM
pleted.
The reservoir mp on Orondo ave-
nue. has been covered very thorough
ly, and with that improvement the
supply of water for the summer will
be In better condition than it has for
several years.
The pump at the Columbia River
will be started soon and will pump
a supply of water to the lower reser-
voir on Orondo, giving the people in
the Mob Hill district a better pres
sure and better supply.
AS soon as the bond issue carries.
work will be started Immediately to
bring about the installation of the
new permanent pumping plant. If
the election carries. and there seems
to be no doubt but that it will, the
bonds will be disposed of readily as
several eastern concerns have been
in communication with the city Off
cials regarding them, and are anx-
ious to purchase.

and the WaterwagOn.

Advertisements and the WaterwagOn.
Shall the city's brand new water
wagon be used for advertising pur-
posee or not? This is the question
that is bothering the city fathers at
the present time.
Some of the fathers contend that
it should remain just the good old
waterwagOn that it is; others think
that it would be perfectly proper to
obtain little revenue legitimately
by selling space on it's sides for ad-
vertising purposes, and in that way
help bring back some of the money
that the wagon cost.
There is no doubt but what it
would be able to keep the names of
the various energetic business men
before the people, and the newcomer
would welcome its appearance on a
dusty day to such an extent that he
would read all the signs before he
let it pass out of his sight.
We would also suggest that Jim
Graham, the driver, write few
verses on How it Feels to be on the
Waterwagon."

Of innocent members of the finny
tribe.
At the session Of the last legis-
lature the law relating to the trout
fishing in Chelan County was chang
ed, making the 10th of June the
privileged time instead of having to
wait until the 18th of July.
The law relating to trout as passed
last winter reads as follows:
1T shall not be lawful for any
person or persons to take, capture
catch or kill from any of the lakes
or streams within the county of Che
Ian, or to have in their possession
after the same have been taken, cap
tured, caught or killed, any trout be-
tween the first day of April and the
lot day of June in each year;
provided, That it shall be lawful
to take with hook and line only, from
Lake Chelan in said county. at any
time of the year, except between the
first day Of April and 1he tenth day
of June, trout nOt exceeding in
amount that which shall be actually
used at home or in camp along the
shore of said lake: and
Provided further, That it shall
be unlawul to waste, sell, salt or
pack for future use any trout taken
from any of the waters of said Che
Ian county: and further
Provided. That it shall be unlaw-
full for any persons to fish with
spawn or tout eggs in said lake or
in any of the streams em1tying into
1t; and that IL shall be unlawful to
fish or to take fish in any way or ar
any time from any stream tributary
to Lake Chelan on which state
hatchery is located"
Every nimrod should cut this out
and paste it in his hat, it is easy to
keep but hard to remember.

Some Results of the "C1ean-Up"
Crusade.

Have you noticed the city's ap-
pearanIe has been changed for the
better? The Health Department o.
the city. together With the Mayor aaG
the police force started some time
ago on a crusade to improve the ap-
pearance of the city and also its san
itary conditions. Most all of the bus
mess men and residents have COM
piled with the request, and made
decided Improvement in the condi-
tiOns that existed.
The Columbia Valley bank had the
old barn behind their bank building
torn down, and the ground that it
stood on its now being converted in
to G grassy plot which will be an en-
viahle lawn by next year.
The strip of ground between the
Daily World Office and the Groves
Miller building has been cleaned up
and the appearance improved 100
per cent.
The alleys back of the Columbia
hotel, between Mission street and
Wenatchee avenue, Wenatchee ave-
nue. and Columbia street, and also
those throughout the resident por-
ton have been cleaned up and the
appearance improved greatly.
The task of getting delinquent
owners to clean up is disagreeable
one to say the most, and everyone
should lend a hand in trying to aid
in the work, so that 1t can be said
that the efforts expended are AZ
profitable as the job is disagreeable.

Sill ON Bread and Water.

The man who called Judge Palm
er's court akangaroo court is still on
his diet of bread and water. An
other chance will be given him, how
ever, to get out and earn his salt.
Should he refuse to go out with the
chain gang it will be back to the dun
geon for his and an other trial of the
staff of life and beaker of Adam $
ale.
At the rate he is going now he is
costing the county but mighty littlr
and will soon doubtless become a
vegetarian.
Anyway, it is our personal opinion
that too much meat is not good in
the hot weather.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

That this nation Is passing through
one OF the crucial periods In It's his
tory no observing or thinking person
will seriously deny. On one hand
We have the power of aggregated
wealth and greed with all its corpor-
ate influence and the cash to employ
the best brains OF the legal and min
isterial professions and to purchase
and control the great dailies of the
country and It's universities. Against
this combination we have the rad
ieals among the people as the neither
milestone between which the con-
sentative masses are being ground.
The stability OF the government and
peFpetuity OF free institutions must
De had AZ the hands OF the conserv-
atives. Il would be destroyed In the
possession Of either the trusts and
wealth or in the hands of radicals
among the working classes.
Al the present time the hold OF
the trusts on the wealth OF the eoun-
try and It's resources Is so great that
they can absolutely control the des-
tiny OF the nation. and were it not
for the conservative masses republic
can government would now be prae-
tlcaliy az an end. With few notable
exceptions the trusts have control
OF the party machines and through
their representatives control the ae-
tion OF conventions TO such an ex-
tent that they retain their power In
congress and the legislatures. The
remedy for these dangers that are
threatening the nation from both
sides may be found in the direct pri-
mary and the initiative and referen-
dunn. We believe in the people and
their ability Co govern. but the threat
ened danger comes from classes with
radical or unjust Ideas to put into
execution for personal gain regard
less OF the rights OF others. This
nation has more TO fear from greed
and intolerance than from all else
combined and tho way OF escape Is
through appeal to the voters In the
direct primary and the Initiative and
referendum.
