an address tonight at the African Dia-
-mond jubilee mass meeting, held in the
Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Epis-
copal church, which President Mckinley

come before a Methodist gathering if
he had not attempted to give them a
square deal.
'In addition to the square deal in our
own country" he continued, 81 want the
Methodists and others to help me give
the square deal to Japan. 1 will see to
it that in doing this our own citizenship
is protected.
"You know I am not a mere senti-

'"And I want to see us, while insist

WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE
TO ELECT PUBLIC'S CHOICE
SoIons Will Convene in Separate Ses
sion and Cast Ballots for Repub-
Iican Direct Primary
Nominee

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan 1S.-For the nrd
time this session the legislature will con-
vene in separate session tomorrow to ballot
for United States senator.
BY reason of the direct primary law,
under which Congressman Wesley T. Jones
of Yakima named the preference OF
the voters OF the state on the Republican
ticket and Governor F. Cotterill of Seattle
on the Democratic ticket, prolonged ballot
ing for senator will be avoided, as it is
doubtful whether the names of any others
besides Jones and CotterilI will be pre-
sented.
AS the legislature is constituted on joint
ballot 12S Republicans and nine Democrats,
it seems tonight to be foregone conclusion
that Jones will be elected on the first ballot

Criticises Morris
1t was weak thing for Eddie Nor
rls to do" said he, ''to show his hand
at the police station and thus disclose
the inner workings of the local no
litical system. "As agent for a bia
eastern establishment | went to an
electrical power supply company Of
Los Angeles several weeks ago to get
rate on power. The rates were so
high that became indignant and said,
When the Owens river comes down
here power will be cheap enough to
encourage starting new industries
The man leaned back in his lux
urious office chair and simply laughed
at me. Believe me- said he, when
the Owens river power comes down
here we will certainly have that little
thing sewed up proper
Eddie Morris is on the payroll of an
electric company. 1t is not quite plain
to the casual observer in what capacity
he is supposed to serve, but it is gem
orally understood his chief duties con-
sist of doing politics."
None of those responsible would give
any public expression or opinion re-
garding the object of the meeting
called by the Municipal league but it
was generally known that it's pur-
pose is a discussion of the danger
threatened the progress on the aque-
duct by changes in the personnel of
the board of public works. This was
not denied by any one in a position
to speak authoritatively, but it was
not denied.
I'VE prefer to let the call speak for
ITSELF" said c. D. Willard, secretary
of the Municipal league yesterday.
Business Men Discuss 1t

was subject of considerable comment

m1nlstration was the primary cause.
1T means the recall of Mayor Har-
per" said Spring street business man
yesterday afternoon. I'm my estima-
tion it is only the first of a series Of
public meetings looking to the same
end. From all 1 can hear you will see
at the meeting Wednesday men of diff
ferent party and factional affiliations,
but they will take part, 1 think, as
citizens.''
1t was said yesterday that the uues-
tion of recall, attributed generally as
the purpose of tomorroW's meeting un-
der the auspices of the Municipal
league, will be taken up also by other
organizations, including the Demo-
cratic league. The subcommittee ap-
pointed by the Democratic league ten
days ago is reported as having favored
the recall and urging the Municipal
league to take the initiative on that
line, believing that the situation is one
so vital to the city's welfare that its
initiative should be placed above par
tisan bias. Other citizens have inde-
pendently urged the Municipal league
to take action, particularly following
the appointment of Edward Kern as q
member of the board of public works.
Mayor Harper would say nothing
yesterday relative to the recall move
ment or the invitation issued by the
Municipal league. Let them do as
thew please" said he. 'T have nothing

II is probable some stirring resolu-

be taken that will have an important

From California. Compli-
ments the City.

George w. Phillips, VINO has spent
several weeks in the valley, coming
here from California, and is con-
sidering getting in on some of the

this city. He has travelled a great
deal and has written the Daily World
regarding some of his impressions
here, as follows
ri have found Wenatchee to be
truly the Land of the Hearts De-
sire" I expected much in coming
out here. AMI therefore was we'll pre-
pared to be disappointed, but in
stead of being disappointed I was
most agreeably surprised. For fini
much more here than I could have
possibly expected in a place so new.
One can not be anything else than
an optimist here, for Wenatchee's
healthy, vigorous youth assures so
many greater and better things.
ri have heard it said very fire.
quently that Wenatchee's best pro-
duct was the big red apple. I think
this a trif1e mistake. Wenatchee's
best product is her people, for bet
ter people do not dwell on this
earth. In classifying Wenatchee's
products I hardly know just where
to place the big red apple, for 1t is
without doubt the best apple grown
on earth.

Wenatchee's Presbyterian church on
Sunday evening and heard the most

Wenatchee has a minister in DR..
Stevenson that would be a credit to
any community. His sermon Sun
day night was a plea for the home

recreation rooms when the saloons

clear, forcible way, the building of
a suitable club house to take the
place of what the saloon now affords

the poor workingman. have heard

the poor workingman. l have heard
many sermons, and some by min
listers with a wide reputation, but
never have I heard one whose ideas
are expressed more clearly and are
as practicable. Had the country at
large more ministers like DR.. Stew
enson, the church would be more
popular with the young men. Mr..
Stevenson believes a church should
be a good workshop. He is a prac-
tical man, and he is making his
church a practical institution in this
community.
"Wenatchee is well supplied with
fraternal societies. But / am quail
fed to speak of only one. That is
the Free and Accepted Masons. The
Masons seem to be composed of all
the very best men of Wenatchee,
which is saying very much I know.
The lodge is of as high type as are
its members of which it is composed.
And their hall is one which they
might we'll be proud Of.
There is so much about Wenat-
chez, one might fill a volume in re-
cording all of it's many good things.
The sun seems to shine a little
brighter here, the stars seem larger,
the sky bluer and on the whole life
SENS a little sweeter here.

PAU. France. February 16.-Notwith-
standing the cold weather Wilbur
Wright. who had gone to the aviation
ground early yesterday morning, after
passing Sunday at Pau. in the afternoon
resumed his series of flights.
He went up first at 4:3O, taking Comte
de Lambert as a passenger. and remain
ed in the air little more than twenty
minutes. He went several times at full
speed round the aviation ground. making
remarkably short turns and curves.
After this fight Wright assembled again
almost at once, Countesse de Lambert
going with him. This flight lasted five
minutes.
Just as night was beginning to fall
Wright made third ascent, having with
him his sister, Miss Katherine Wright.
This was the first ascent she ever made.
They remained aloft a little more than
seven minutes.
Orville Wright was an interested spec
tator OF his sisters flight. The motor
worked we'll and everything was sue

there was obviously ample opportunity for
uncertainty and exaggeration. Nor can
we accept as infallible the records con-
corning the others. although some Of them
are quite circumstantial. Thus the Ma
tional Gazette, in reporting the death Of
one Of the Oldest. gave the date OF her
emigration from Germany and settlement
in North Carolina and many other details
at the reputed age Of 1874 years. in 1920.
there were given the dates of his birth in
France, Of his emigration to Holland and
thence to England, and Of his service in
the English army. At the same time 1t
is to be observed that If he was really
born in 1886. as stated. he must have been
1874 years old in 1920, instead Of only 1884
as reported at that time. This discrepan-
cy of half century in circumstantial
record suggests the possibility of similar
stance Of longevity in modern ages was
that of Peter Torten.. or Zorten, of Kof-
rock. Hungary, who is said to have been
1S5 years old when he died in January,
1924. But the evidence In his case is by
no means convincing, and the same must
be said even of such records as those of
the Countess of Desmond and Col. Win
sloe OF Ireland. who were said to have
reached the ages, respectively, of 40 and
146 years.
We have remarked upon the great num-
Der of reports of extreme longevity which
were made in the early part of the last
century. Now, the year which has just
ended seems to indicate a similar though
early part of this century. The coinci-
dence affords suggestion for thought. 1t
may be that there is some influence In
the contemplation of the beginning and
progress OF new century which induces
people unconsciously to invent. exagger-
ate or indulge their fancy concerning their
own ages or the ages of their nefghbors.
There are also those who, having reached
