the menace which the socialist propaganda contains to
all that hold dearest and most sacred in repub
hcan institutions. They are dangerous element and
despite the falling off in their vote in the municipal
campaign, converts are joining their ranks every day.
Sunday evening, in Oliver hail. Mr. Mckee of Los
Angeles the speaker and referring to the constitu
ton of the United States, he said that bulwark of
liberties, that document which foreathers fought
and struggled SO vaantly to obtain and around which
clusters every fond recollection of childhood and
youth made sacred by the passing centuries WAS
OUT OF DATE, A BACK NUMBER, AND SHOULD
BE RELOCATED TO THE POLITICAL JUNK
Pile! Not only was it out of date it was drag and
hindrance to enlightened people; we'll enough, pos
siby in the days of log cabins and taow candles, but
unfit in the company of airshps wireless teegraphy,
female suffragsts, monkey dinners and free soup
houses.
Not only were such sentiments voiced but they were
applauded boisterously! The shameless things! We
can excuse such utterances by republicans and demo-
Gratis gi ven in general, haphazard way, when cham
payne has loosened the tongue, but with the socialists
it is different. They in deadly earnest, have the
courage of their convictions, be they right wrong,
and should they bel entrusted with power would
undoubtedly lay violent hands on many of our most
cherished customs and institutions.
All along the lines the assault goes on: Religion,
education, political institutions, business meth
DDS grown hoary and respectable by custom, being
attacked. ''
THE ROUND LAKE IRRIGATION COMPANY
has inaugurated method of home building which
their officers say winning converts every day. and
which, if adopted by "the common people, will COM
pletely revolutionize many other lines of business
well as the procuring of homes.
Their plan is to get together number of people who
want irrigated lands and have them furnish their
capital and install their irrigation works, plant to
orchard, have their stores, packing house, cold
storage, telephones, electric lights and all public uti
ties. This can be accomplished, they claim, at saving
of onehaf twothrds the cost of the land alone
when bought in the old way and the added advantage
of owning the stores and packing houses, all under
expert management, give savings and benefits which
amount to one-haf of ordinary workingman's
income.
The plan is surely revolutionary and while undoubt-
eddy great saving to the struggling homeseeker,
not that it should be encouraged. The ten
dency is socastic, seeking to wipe out the nMddeman
which of itself is very bad hingfor the mddlenmn
Then too while the thing appeals to the pockets of
the great of common people, find it so hard to
homes and competence in the fierce struggle
of today yet the workers should think of the "uncom
mon people-and what makes them uncommon
and WHERE THEY GOT 1T.
They claim orchard land equal to Wenatchee be
given all planted to the best varieties of fruits for less
than the raw land would cost in inferior districts. On
the face of it this absurd, but socialists
nothing if not absurd Anyhow, it would pay who
wants tract of the best irrigated orchard land to call
them and get particulars of their wonderful offer
The manager says that quite number of people have
called investigated and purchased.
Their lands two miles from Adrian and 112 miles
west of Spokane, at altitude of 1900 feet, and they
promise five acre tract all set to orchard for $1,000
payable 1925 down and the balance at $15 per month.
No interest and no taxes.
BETTER CALL AT ONCE.
