CATHOLIC WANTED
FOR PRESIDENT
SPEAKER SAYS RIGHT MAN
WOULD WIN. - ROOSEVELT
FAIR, But A GOOD CATHOLIC
COULD WIN.
(By Associated Press. !

New York, Feb. 16.-George Mum
delein advocated the election of a
Roman Catholic to the presidency oi
the United States in a speech last
night at dinner of the alumni oil
Manhattan college at the Hotel
knickerbOcker.
There has never been a Protes-
tant in the White House, he said,
who had more regard and fairness
for the Catholic church than Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He has shown it by
his fearless appointment of Catholics
to high Offices
AS to the possibility of Catholic
being elected president of this coun-
try, the speaker said:
''Give us Catholic, able and hon
est and just, and give him the solid
support of united party, and I be-
lieve he would be elected hands
down, even now. The American peo-
pie are just. We are the only PEG.
pie who have never dragged religion
into politics. The Vatican trusts
that it will never see the day that
such is the case. We want our rights
and nothing more. We want and de-
mand the privileges granted to us by
the constitution. We are 100000
strong, and all we ask and what we
want is the free exercise of our faith,
no discrimination against us, and a
square deal; and the man who gives
us that, we will vote for in the flu
ture as in the past"

The box social at the schoolhouse
Thursday evening was a grand sue

Frank Miller went to Wenatchee
Wednesday and returned Thursday.

Charley Gray is having his share
of trouble on account of the soft
weather. His crew of loggers are
working on a steep mountain side,
where it was expected to chute logs
to the bottom, but the soft snow
makes it difficult to chute them.
Laurence Lakin and Ernest Argan
didn't need the sled they had bor-
rowed to go to the box social. They
failed to get the bellies they wanted
and a sleigh ride without a belle is
no good for them.

greatly improved in the near future,

.AUT0|STS Do NOT |
LIKE new CODE
PROVISION PUTTING OWNERS
UNDER $1,000 LICENSE BOND
is REGARDED AS UNJUSTIFT.
ABLE-WILL PROTEST.

Some of the provisions of the new
criminal code which the code revi-
sion commission has submitted to
the legislature are not approved by
Wenatchee owners of automobiles.
For instance, the requirement of a
bond for $1,000 of all owners or op-
orators of automobiles is regarded as
unjustifiable.
The auto owners are emphatically
in favor of licensing owners and OPP
orators of autos, and urge enactment
of provisions to reach the auto driver
who infringes the rights of others.
But they do not regard the bond as
fair to auto owners. who can be
reached in actions for damages, and
who would not be limited to the
$1,000 bond liability in case of
claim for injury. They want the
drunken auto driver punished by can
collation. of his license; they favor
holding the auto driver responsible
for abuse of roads by locking wheels
ana tearing up the surface, and stand
for all reasonable regulations. 1But
they hold that since the $1,000 bond
is aimed at the irresponsible chauf-
feur some other way ought to be
found that does not put nine res
ponsible and we1l-behaved owners
under a tax in order to reach the
one irresponsible chauffeur.
The new code gives especial atten
ton to the auto, and it appears from
the tone of the proposed regulations
that the members of the code COM
mission are not auto owners.

In view Of the statement made TO
the city council last evening that the
Barre railroad company stood ready TO
bear half the expense of changing the
river bed back of the Main street blocks,
from Prospect street to Granite street,
there ought TO be little further delay
in getting this mater decided upon. OF
course, the details of preparation and
of settlement on the part OF all parties
interested win require some time, but
that it is to be one OF the city improve
ments to be undertaken this year should
