METHODIsTs OPPOSE CANNON.
Church Members Will Fight His Re.
election---Ii, uOr Question Cause,

dispatch rom Baltimore says:
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
begun an ACTIVE crusade for the cleo
tion of spe' ker "who will allow
Congress to vote on the Interstate
liquor shipment bill" The church,
which has over 100000 communi-
cants, has created the Temperance
Society OF the Methodist Episcopal
church, with authority to represent
the denomination in all temperance
matters. This society is managed by
board composed of about 615 men,
bers, named by the bishop and elect
ed by the General Conference. The
board of managers has organized
and directed it's chairman to take
steps to begin an active campaign.
An ofhcial address has been issued
to all members Of the denomination,
asking their cooperation. The
shipment BILL" which has been
pending in Congress for at least five
years, does not seek to impose pro-
hibttion upon any locality, but pro-
vides that liquor shipped from one
State to another shall Immediately
upon the boundary become subject
to the laws of the State into which
1t is consigned
"The Speaker of the National
House of Representatives" says the
address, absolutely controls its pro-
cedure. He is opposed to this legis-
lation. He has used tho power of
his office to hold 1t in the Judiciary
committee, appointed by him on the
alleged ground that it is unconstitu-
tional. Our church, by action Of the
recent General Conference, insists
that Congressional doubt as to the
constitufionality of such legislation
be resolved in the interest of the peo-
pie and the public morals, and that
the General Conference unanimously
accepted the report of Governor Han
ley's special committee appointed to
walt upon Speaker. Cannon, which
closes with the following words: We
submit to our people and to all good
citizens the wisdom of electing men
as members of Congress who believe
in it's validity and who are willing
to enact it.
"At least one member of the House
Judiciary Committee has been de-
feated for the nomination on his rec
ord on this question and we believe
that the time has come when our
people who want to help secure this
legislation must support for Con-
gress candidates who will not only
vote for this measure IL they get a
chance, but Wi, themselves support
for speaker a man who will allow II
to be voted upon, and that it's pas
sage Is improbable until Christian
members recognize this situation and
cast their ballots accordingly"

ton has been accepted by the presi-
dent, to take effect May II next No
reason for the young mans act in re-
signing is given in the formal orders

had been given by the department to an
inquiry addressed to il on behalf of

be permitted to resign after he had re-
ceived a commission. He was then a
cadet at the military academy, and

should resign from the army.
Lieut.. Ayres was n cadet at West

occasion several OF the cadets loaned
their heavy coats 10 girl visitors TO pro-
tect them from the weather. This was
contrary to orders and met with the
disapproVal of the commandant of
cadets. Col. Howe. Miss Ayres. sis
ter of young Ayres, was among the
girls visiting the academy at the time.
Her mother took up the matter and a
controversy spranE up, the final effect
of which was the issuance of an order
from the war department forbdding
Mrs. Ayres admission to the West
Point military reservation. Thereupon
Col. Ayres. father of Cadet Ayres, es-
poused the cause of his wife and I'm an

WE NEED SHADE TREES.

Working in conjunction with the
City Beautiful committee of Spokane
all of the school children of that
city set apart last Saturday as
Cleaning Up Day for that city
Next Saturday has been appointed
as the day for tree planting. Shade
trees, shrubbery and ornamental
plants of all kinds will be set out
by the thousands all over the city.
The idea is one that might be fol-
lowed out with profit in the city of
Wenatchee. If there is one thing
that Wenatchee needs worse than
to lose some of it's old buildings on
the main street it is more shade.
1t would seem that the city council
and the Commercial club might
work in conjunction in the matter of
securing more shade trees for the
city.
By following this plan, the city
would get the shade and a uniform
ity might be secured which other
wise could not be expected. The
time is ripe for a move of this kind.
A delay of two weeks would mean
that nothing could be done this year.
