THAT CARNEGIE LIBRARY.

Citizens of Wenatchee should
think twice before they pass up the
$4,000 for library which the Laird
of Skibo has agreed to donate. The
growth of the city in the future IS
dependent in a large measure on the
establishment of institutions which
will offer inducements to men of fam
lilies and means to locate here. A
niggardly spirit and niggardly pol
icy may do incalculable harm.
1t should be kept in mind that We
natchee does not have many desirable
natural advantages in its immediate
vicinity such as spacious parks,
lakes, good boating facilities and so
on. To compensate for the lack of
these, every effort should be put
forth to increase the efficiency Of
our schools and maintain public in
situations of every kind, among
which a library is social and intel
lectual necessity in a community
which prides itself on progressive
ness.
Wenatchee must have a public Ii
brary soon, and the question is whe-
Their it's citizens shall dig up the
money themselves or accept of the
proffer of Mr.. Carnegie.

AGO TODAY
One Year Ago Today We
natchee Was Big Mass
of Flames.
WAS DISAST r on S
But New Buildings Have
Arisen Out of the
Ashes,

Like the fable Phoenix out of the
ashes of one year ago a new Wenat-
chez has arisen. 1t was one year
ago that the big fire occurred which
threatened to sweep the whole town.
AS 1t was it destroyed fifteen bust
ness houses.
The fire started from fire crackers
on the afternoon of the 9Th of July
at o'clock. 1t caught the buildings
IN the rear of Jack O'Connor's liv-
cry stable which was located where
the World building now stands.
Sweeping to the south it destroyed
two buildings for Geo. H. Ellis, the
meat market of G. A. Harlin, the
Morton building, the old Prowell
building, Cottage hotel, fire station
and number of smaller places. In
all it affected fifteen places of bust
ness.
At the present time at the scene
Of the fire there is located the Com
mercial Club building, the World
building and two new three-story
buildings for c. A. Harlin and w. E.
Morton respectively are now in pro-
gress of construction.

1T WAS A SANE FOURTH.

The celebration of two days time
which has closed in Wenatchee was
to the opinion of most people an
ideal one. 1t was what might right
fully be called a sane Fourth. What
firecracker shooting was done was
outside of the fire limits and there
was not enough of it so that you
could say that people went crazy over
firecrackers. There was no one
hurt. There were no fires. The fire
department was not even called out.
The broncho busting was good and
so were the auto races, not forget
ting the parade, which was probably
the best ever held in the city. The
ball games created intense interest
ana great crowds attended all three
games. Everything considered the
celebration will go down in history
as the most successful affair of this
kind ever held in North Central
Washington.

A BAD COMBINATION.

When the republican machine of
New York state in combination with
Tammany democrats refuse to &C
cede to the wishes of Governor
Hughes, President Taft and ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt in enacting direct
primary law and this in the face of
legislative corruption which has re-
Gently been disclosed, it is evident
that something is radically out of
joint in the Empire State. Governor
Hughes, who is the embodiment of
the best there is in progressive re-
publicans, has the support of suf-
ficient number of republicans to pass
his measure, but he can't overcome
the weight of machine republicans
acting in conjunction with Tammany
democrats. 1t will be remembered
that 1t was a combination of standpat
republicans and Tammany democrats
that kept the Hon. Joseph Q. Cannon
in the speakers chair In the 61st
Roosevelt has big job on his hands
If he undertakes TO go against that
New York combination in the inter-
ests of the people Of New York. 1t
looks, too, as il the New York poll
ticians distrust the intelligence or
the voters of that state and, follow
ing the lead of Alexander Hamilton,
they want to govern the people in
stead of permitting the people to
govern themselves. Out here In
Washington there are whole lot OF
fellows who want the voters OF
Washington to go back to the flesh
pots of Egypt" This is the gang
who used to ride rough shod over
the people in conventions and put
puppets into offices of trust and res
possibility.

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS.
Keep the Spirit of the Law.

The Indifference shown by the
average citizen in attending party
caucuses and primaries is what made
it possible for the professional poll
ticians to control the political affairs
of the country for so many years.
1t was hoped that with the pass
age of the primary law their power
in this state would be ended and that
the people themselves would have
enough to say about who should fill
the offices and what declarations
should be made in the party plat
form. But an amendment was made
to the primary election law by the
last legislature which restores to the
old convention system the nomina-
ton of the judges of the supreme
court. This makes it necessary to
hold conventions for this purpose and
party leaders are taking advantage
of the fact to try to secure control
of the conventions in the interest of
one of their pet candidates and to
commit the party to platform which
will be drawn for the purpose of fur
thering their own purposes.
The Endorsement of any candidate
by a convention is direct violation
of the law, and the adoption of a
platform drawn by any one faction
and upon which only one candidate
can stand is an apparent effort to
evade the law.-Spokane Chronicle

Tacoma papers and Tacoma citi-
zens are boosting the candidacy of
Gen. James M. Ashton for the United
States senatorship as if they expected
him to win. Strange things have
happened in politics before and II the
Tacoma boosting spirit is infectious,
the Tacoma candidate may develop
more strength than is anticipated.
From the Worlds standpoint, If the
majority of the people of the state
should decide for Ashton, it is incum-
bent on the legislature TO elect him.
In the meantime we shall stand on
the sidelines and Watch Tacoma's
candidate grow" He'll have to get
more action on than JEFF had. how
ever, IL he gets in knockout blow.

Roads and the Cost of Living.


In an article dealing with the bear
ing the road problem and also the
use of motor vehicles by the farmer,
has upon the cost of living, the Ma
tional Grange declares that good
roads, such as exist in England and
France, would mean an annual saw
ing of $3OO,OOO,O0O in the cost of
the actual necessities of life which
are produced on the farms of this
country and hauled to market over
poor roads. A further, but less dl-
rect reduction, it is declared, would
result from the wider distribution
of population which good roads
would insure, for it is everywhere
ton, in centers of consumption rather
than districts of production, is one of
the paramount causes of the living
cost. Statistics are quoted to prove
this point. Regarding the tax that
poor roads place upon the necessities
of life, the article says:
Every commodity pays a wheel
tax since nothing is nowadays pro-
duced where it is consumed. and a
direct result of the crowding of the
population into the industrial dis
tricts is an increase in the retail
price of food due to increased haul
age The important fact is that the
necessary increase of cost from this
cause is many times greater than it
need be, owing to our backward sys-
tenn of rural communication.
1T has been calculated that the
average length of road haul of agri-
cultural produce under present con-
ditions of rural transport is ten
miles, at a cost of 25 cents per ton
mile. The aggregate amount ham
died is at least 2OO,00O,000 tons an
nually. In fact this figure is far be-
low the actual total, for it only takes
account of produce actually delivered
for shipment to the railroads, and
makes no allowance for produce ship
ped by water, or for coal, lumber,
supplies, machinery, etc, hauled
from the depots to the farms. This
gives us as the direct wheel tax paid
by the ultimate consumer, the gil
gantic annual sum of half billion
dollars. Many years of experience
in France, Germany and England
have shown that on improved roads
in fair condition the ton mile cost
should never exceed 10 cents. This
would give the cost of hauling 200,-
100000 tons an average distance of
ten miles as $200,O00,0O0. In other
words, there is a direct addition to
the cost of living of the nation as
whole Of $300.OOO,OOs per annum,
which is quite unnecessary and due
simply to our inferior road systems.
If we take the total road mileage Of
the United States as 100000 it fol-
lows that every mile of unimproved
road means net loss to the country
Of at least $3.50 per annum. And
this charge is actually met in the
shape Of increased food prices, prin-
cipally by the class who can least
AFFORD to bear 1.-THE wage earners."
While such figures, from the very
nature Of the case, cannot be abso-
lutely accurate, their logic is correct,
and. even though discounted, they
are astounding enough to justify all
reasonable endeavors that can be
made to insure country roads of the
best quality. They are investments
that yield direct returns.-Everett
Herald.

score now stands, 3 (candidates) for

To PROHIBIT FIGHT
PICTURES
General Movement All Over
the World to Prohibit
Their Showing.

There is well defined movement
all over the world against the show
ing of the Jeffries-Johnson fight
pictures. The victory Of the negro
has had the effect of exciting the
negroes of the south, and the auth
critics have taken the view that the
showing of the fight pictures might
lead to riots. Already the matter
has come up in all of the large cities
in the United States and from pres
ent indications the moving picture
promoters will meet determined OPP
position in the showing of the pic
lures.

Portland, Ore, July CT cannot
see that the exhibition of the pic
lures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight is
any worse than the presenting of the
thousand and one details of the con-
test by the newspapers of the coun-

lection to the pictures being shown
in Portland. This was how Mayor
Simon viewed the fight picture pro-
position.
