MTT|TAS APPLES
FIND ANOTHER FIELD

1t seems that without really III
tending it, ]. H. Mundv has been
doing some quiet boosting for Kit
titas valley. Sometime since he
sent a box of apples as present to
his brother. Harriss Mundy, who
is a prominent ranCher and stock
dealer of Shamrock, Texas. when
those apples reached their destina-
ton and were opened up, they
were a surprise to every one who
saw them. Nothing of the kind
had ever been seen in that part of
the country and were viewed with
astonishment by the natives. Mr..
Mundv thinks that for beauty and
flavor they cannot be eXCelled.
They were just such apples as can
be picked up at the grocery stores
III Ellensburg any day. The sight
of those apples attracted the atten-
ton of quite number who had
hardly heard of ashington before
That box of apples will bring bet
ter results than ton of printed
matter. Mr.. Mundv wants more
of them and is perfectly willing to
pay all expenses incident to ship
ing them to that distant point.
The sight of those apples has
drawn the attention of those peo-
pie to the country and they will
find Kittitas excels in many other
things besides apples. No doubt
good results will follow.

When the humming bird bravs like an ass
And Limburger smells like cologne
When powshears made out of glass

PASS FEW AND
REPEAL MANY LAWS

Instead of passing a large num-
Der of bills which are unnecessary
and are introduced only because
some members want to make a rec
ord, the next legislature will gain
the approval of the people if IT will
repeal a number Of worthless laws
which now cnCumbor he statutes
and simplify others which re hard
" ineligible to the supreme court.
Much Of the ambiguity of the
present laws MAY be due to the
SYSTEM Of making amendments by
referring only TO the section to be
amended, masking il necessary for
one wanting to look UP certain
law TO follow its history through a
half dozen or more sessions OF tn
legislature. By repeating the old
statute and passine a Nov one on
the same subject where amendment
is desired. the law could b. found

WILLIAM j. BRYAN
DECLARES HIMSELF

where he will stand in the coming
contest within his party.
He saws in the plainest possible
terms that he will fight.
He has no more federation tor
standpattery in the democratic par
~ than for standpattery i'll the re-
publican party and he declares that
democratic conservatism Is only
another name for republican stand
patism'.
And Mr.. Bryan is right.
He is also right in saying that
there is TODAY more formidable
movement to swerve the democratic
Marty from the line of pro-
Dress than there was in 1905.
The interests are preparing to cap
ture it and to PROSECUTE it to the
service of Big Business. That is
beyond any reasonable dispute.
But can this plot be carried to
success? Can another Parker NOM
nation be forced in 1912? Will
the progressives in the democratic
party again stand aside to give the
reactionaries a chance to show
what they can do?
In 1904 there was a disposition
on the part of the progressive dem
ocrats to allow the conservatives to
demonstrate the power they claim
ed. 1t will be recalled that the
safe and saners" insisted that the
party had been wrecked by Mr..
Bryan and if they were given free
hand they could restore it to its an
cient prestige. Many of Mr.. Bry-
ans most ardent friends felt that
it would be good politics to put the
matter to practical test. And this
in fact was done. But never be-
fore in the history of the party was
its discontinue so complete and so
humiliating as in this ignoble cam
paign.
1t can hardly be expected that
the progressives will show like
complaisance in 1912. The one
experiment was enough to convince
them that the democratic party is
not reactionery and that its voters
will not follow the flag unless it is
arried in the proper hands, in the
right direction. They will not give
way second time to powers and
influences which in 1904 were be-
lleved to be and are now known to
have been directly allied with the
predatory interests. and if the worst
should come to the worst, means
will be found for carrying forward
the democratic idea although the
democratic party may be straying
Tar aheld in the service of plutoc-
racy.
We are unaffectedly glad that
Mr.. Bryan has so promptly and
declsively declared himself. We
SILL regard him as the great tribune
OF the people. He is still the
uns'ed leader Of the rank and file.

origin of the Egyptians, and quoted
such authorities as Sergi, Maspero
and others regarding the Africanic
origin of the Egyptians.
In making this statement he again
elected prolonged applause: AN
orator in North Carolina, in an out
burst trying to prove the Negro un-
worthy of citizenship, said; "The Ne
gro sat 5000 years by the bank of the
Nile and never made a sail To those
who believe such, the speaker, in his
forceful oratory, pointed to the fact
that 10000 years before historical
knowledge began, the Egyptians were
fashioning flints of the desert into
knives and weapons of the uttermost
perfection. They were making cords
and mats, and skiffs out of the rushes
from the marshlands. They were
carving in wood and ivory and other
things common to their country" He
said that many of the secrets of the
Egyptians are lost and that we have
not attained to their perfection along
many lines. To them, he claims that
we owe embalming, lifting great
stones, and other ideas of mathemati
cal proportion.
He impressed upon his audience
that The achievements of the past,
if they are our ancestry, amount to
nothing, unless our children improve
upon the works of their fathers. Each
succeeding race and generation ought
to be an improvement upon those
gone before. He again brought ap-
plause when he said that nothing is

On one occasion he entered a car

pose of having himself elected so as

During his early days as a teacher
in the District no appropriation was
made out of the public funds for the
maintenance of schools for Negro

secured an appropriation of one third

Until the beginning of his illness
he was a member of the board OF

father. at Central College, New York,
and at Oberlin.
He himself taught school here for
a short period, and subsequently
taught a school for free colored chill
dren in New Orleans until the ap-

ed man to hold such a position.
In 1868 he became a member of the
board of aldermen by which the city
was then governed,
In 1869 he was elected register OF

During the period of his service IN
this capacity the country was under
going the great agitation for the
enactment of the fourteenth and ft-
teenth amendments to the Constitution

we'll as his business prominence
brought him into contact with many
leading men of the country and he
exerted his influence in favor of this
