TO Enter Politics.
AT the meeting yesterday the as
ISOLATION decided that it would en-
gage in politics to the extent that
it will use all honorable means to
defeat the parcels post law and
to secure other legislation that
would be beneficial to it's mem
bers. The pharmacy act passed
by the recent legislature was de-
nounced.
One of the most important mat
tiers decided yesterday was that
the association would affiliate
with the association of the Inland
Empire Retail Dealers, which has
a membership of ESQ. The State
association has 400 members, 100
of these being from Tacoma, 1856
from Seattle and the remaining
members from Spokane, Belling-

bankrupt sales or any form of
announcement intended to have

culated to mislead the public.
The question of honest weights
and measures was also taken up
and the legislature will probably
be asked to pass a law affecting
this subject.

Mr. Hartman was such mana man
of the hour. Railroad transportation
interests of this country required a
leader for upbuilding and reconstruc-
ton on practical transportation and
financial lines. Mr.. Hartman accom-
plished more than should have been
expected from single embodiment OF
mind and muscle. He left many plans
for further expansion incomplete, but
had he lived to the century mark, with
his great energy, perception and self
reliance unimpaired, there still would
have been plans incomplete. 1t may,
therefore, be said without disrespect for
the dead that that leaders plans were
as nearly complete as they ever would
have been and that the railroad de-
spare him without great loss-even
with some gain. Further upbuilding
would have meant further concentra-
ton and the creation of situation that
neither our public nor their representa-
tive lawmakers would have permitted.
Jealsuoies Of an insurmountable nature
had already arisen; man of such
strength of mind and character must

jealousies and the stolid self-reliance
of their leader have passed as a factor
in the situation. The work of upbuiid-
ing that he began and carried to such
a successful stage will now be carried
on under new auspices; it will not be
allowed to retrograde. Ex-Judge Lovctr, |

A FIRE AND IT'S HERoEs.

| Two types of that fine courage
which has been responsible in a great
measure for the wonderful develop
ment of Kansas and the nation. as
well, came to the front early this
morning in the disastrous fire which
totally destroyed the picking and pre-
serving works of Otto Kuehne, one of
this entire western section of the
country.
Harry Jones and A. G. Gurtler. two
of the men on the rolls of the city's
fire department, literally stood in the
jaws of death in their endeavor to
save valuable portion of the doomed
plant. A wall fell on them. Jones is
dead and Mr.. Gurtler is most seriously
injured. Here was a sacrifice of life
in the discharge of duty, than which
be mourned as a hero who was worthy
of a better fate. Fervent prayers will
go up that Curriers' life may be
spared to him.
Watching the magnificent results of
the labors of a lifetime go up in smoke

slightest trace of the white feather.
