Retrospect"

The kennewick High School
Entertainment Course is now a
matter of history. The good that
we have all received from it re-
mains with us. We can never get
away from the influence of things,
and we believe that the influence of
this course is only that of good.
Taken as whole the Course"
was excellent. There was variety
enough to suit all our tastes. We
have had everything from the pop
ular ''Colored Troupe" to the high
class singer or the aesthetic student
Of nature discourseing on the Phil
osophy of Beauty" and with
the eye and hand o. the true artist
sketching pictures to our wonder
and admiration.
The Course was we'll attended
by the public, and we feel that the
town needs such course each sea-
son. This one was an experiment.
Now we see what we can do. The
past gives US promise of the future
Financially the course was a sue
cess, as there will be about one
hundred dollars to turn over to the
Piano Fund. Thus we have been
doing two things, that of being en-
tertained and instructed, and that
Of helping our schools to the high
est possible standard of excellence

Recommendations
Refers Important Matters to ExelU.
tive Committee.

Saturday evening in the Club Room
70 hear the Report of the Portland
Committee, G. F. Richardson, H.
A. Bier and II. S. Anon.
President Richardson briefly re-
viewed the work of the Committee
in securing the Government dredge
Wallowa. He told how Congress-
man Jones had been communicated
with and he had taken the matter
UP with the War Department. Col.
Roessler, the government engineer,
had been interested in the project,
and when the legal opinion arrived
that as much of s25, 1000 as was
needed could be legally used; Col.
Roessler wired orders to Captain
Winslow to coal up and proceed
with the work where Captain Baugh-
man and Captain Bailey should in
dicate.
President Richardson had brief
conference with Mr.. Ledbetter on
the question of securing the land
ing and made an earnest effort to
come to an understanding with him.
He did not wish to sell out right as
he had bought this land with the
thought that it was the key to the
wharf proposition in Kennewick
and he wanted to stay in position
to get the benefits. He would give
a right t-of way to the landing and
would lease for a term of years the
entire tract of land and the slight
cost of looking after the land and
keeping up the fences. The COM
mittee showed that Kennewick had
taken care of the up-river business
in it's incipiency and expected tc
provide the facilities to care for il
in the future. Since Pasco was
also bidding fer the business it was
necessary to act promptly. We dc
not want to be delayed by litiga.
ton. Mr.. Ledbetter assured the
committee that he would not stano
in the way. He would give the
right t-of-way and would lease
the land desired. The Ways anc
Means Committee and the officers o:
the Club were authorized to conduct
the negotiations with Mr.. Ledbettel
to close the lease.
The Committee also called on H
NJ. Adams, traffic manager OF tn
Portland & Seattle Ry. with regar(
to securing a depot and side tract
on that road at Kennewick. Th'
Company had not planned to put
depot or agent at this point but ol

made that more business was being

other station on the line, and tina
on the morning the Commltte
started for Portland there was NOR

Adams informed the Committe
that officials of the Company woul'
be in Kennewick within a week, t
investigate the situation. Tn

Hughes to get N. Y.
Taft WithdraWs from tie Contest
in that State.

IL Is lIlc Olu STORY. JuSG DIS Vic
Republicans seem on the verge of
getting into row and the Democrats
of getting together, the Republicans
get together and the Democrats get
into the row. 1t has been the case
with the prospective fight for the
control of the Republican delegation
in New York. There has been more
internal strife over this than has ap-
peared on the surface. NThere never
has been much question that the
real fight for the control Of the dele
cation would be between Secretary
Taft and Governor Hughes. Gov.
Hughes was not admittedly a Presi-
Dental possibility till few days
ago. Then he came out in response
to an appeal from the Hughes
League of the state and said frankly
that if he were wanted by the party
for the Presidential nomination, he
was not going to dodge it. He was
perfectly willing to be a candidate,
in fact appreciated the honor that
would be shown him in such a select
ion, but he was not chasing around
looking for delegates and support.
He intended to stay home and con-
tinue to be governor of the State OF
New York to the best of his ability
and if his friends wanted him as a
candidate for President, they would
have to do the hustling and hunt up
the delegates.
This was rather blunt way OF
putting it, but then Gov. Hughes
has a way of his own of playing
politics, if it can be called playing
politics, and the announcement was
just about what might have been ex-
pected from him. At least it had
the effect of clearing the air and
leaving no room for doubt that there
would be a Hughes boom to reckon
with in lining up the New York
state delegation. The candidates
on the Republican side so far numb
er six, counting Hughes. Each OF
them is a "favorite son" of some
state. There is Hughes, Taft, Faix;
banks, Cannon and Knox, each
whom can pretty safely count o)
his own state delegation on entering
the nomination convention. Foral(
er may split Ohio with Taft but tha
is by no means certain.
Now the Administration has beer
looking to the New York delegation
as part of the Taft support, bu
Secretary Taft has come out in
very frank letter saying that he i
willing for pre- convention purpose
to concede the New York delegation
to Hughes and that he will not max
any state fight of it that will en-
danger the harmony of the party
This is not personally generous, bu
it probably is good politics and hors
sense as well. Nobody expects til
Republican nomination to be mad
on the first ballot and it is just a
well for the purposes of harmon
not to pull on any internecine strii
but to concede the New York dele
cation to a New York man, that
if the delegation is willing to go thu
way which it probably is. There
a strong movement for Hughes nc
only in New York but in many othe
parts of the country. Whether tn
sentiment will be strong enough
land the nomination for him is
+ question, but there is little dOul
after his own declaration and IL
{ announcement of Secretary Taft tn;
{ the next meeting of the State Con
mittee in New York will declare #
Hughes candidacy.
