Editor Daily World.
Dear Editor: I haven't written TO
you for a long time, but I have
been reading some things in YOUR
paper that rifles me up, or, rather,
inspires me to write. Now, for in
stance, that fellow that was digging
into the fruit inspector and the law
that compels the fruit raiser to spray
his trees and keep them clean is a
consistent one. He seems to want
everybody to take care of their or
chard to suit themselves. Now he
would raise cain, wouldn't he, rails
ing fine apples, and the man on the
other side of the fence raising scale
and codling moths and all kinds of
pestiferous bugs. That fellow must
have a soft spot under his hat.
And there's Billy Sunday I did
not like the slang he was singing
from the pulpit, but when he took a
jab at the saloons and did it in such
good shape / am ready to shout hur-
rah for Billy Sunday, Mayor Gel
latly and the Wenatchee City Coun-
ell that had the courage to come out
fiat-footed and say the saloons must
CO. I used to live on a farm and
when I wanted to dry a SOW up I
found the best way was to take the
pigs away Now, if you drive the
old saloon sow out of Wenatchee
the pigs will have to quit sucking,
and men, instead of going home to
their families full of booze and with
empty pockets and the seat of their
pants patched till they look like a
map of the United States, will carry
home the necessaries of life. The
man that spends his earnings for
liquor and neglects his family is a
criminal. The man that sells him
the liquor is criminal The city
council that licensed the saloon to
carry on their nefarious business are
criminals of the deepest dye.
Governor Cosgrove showed that
his heart was in the right place
when he made his little speech to the
legislature concerning local option.
There can't be one iota of good,
sound, reasonable argument pro-
duced against local option and the
same can be said of woman's suf-
frage. There is no argument against
them The men who are bucking up
against them remind me of the
young man who received a photo
graph of his best girl He told her
he would always carry it next to
his heart. The next day he went to
see her, and when he pulled his
handkerchief out of his hip pocket
out rolled the picture, and she quit
him cold. She said he had lied to
her or else his heart was in the
wrong place. Well, these legislators
that oppose these good measures
carry their hearts, and brains, too,
for that matter about the same
place.
Well, everything is going along
smooth and nice on the Entiat. No
matter what the Legislators does. we
have local option here. We haven't
got saloon within 90 miles of us,
and never had and won't have We
have ten resident preachers here be-
sides those that come in from the
outside to help boost occasionally.
The valley is filling up with schools
AMI churches instead OF saloons.
Another thing I wanted to men
ton that liked to have slipped my
memory. I don't know where that
old lady carries her heart that wants
to place a penalty on the wives of
would be officers and compel them to
raise a family of from one to twelve
children In order that her husband
be eligible to Office.
