change, and we must change with
them.
Henceforth the Post-Intelligencer' S
political columns will be given to the
advocacy of the meritorious and ben
eficial reforms demanded by the peo-
pie, whether they originate in the re-
publican party or not. Passing whims
will be treated as they deserve, but
all movements whose object is the
improvement of the condition of the
people will have hearty support.
Candidates for offices will be sup
ported by reason of their character
and fitness for the positions to which
they aspire, and for no other reasons.
Much of the beneficial local leg
islation for Seattle has received its
first publicity in the columns of this
newspaper. In the future We hope
much more will be so presented.
National politics, so far as they
Immediately concern us, will be ad-
vocated in accordance with the ascer-
tainable will of our own people, an !
not because they are supported by
the party in power.
THE Post-Intelligencer has every
reason to be proud of it's record and
standing in this community, and it il
confident that its new policy will
meet with approval"

a second term.
This information came from an
authentic source 1t is stated that
Taft will not move against Roosevelt,
no matter what tactics Roosevelt may
adopt. He regards the colonels ac-

The president has been advised
that the administration has not been
advertised properly, and what it has
accomplished has not been brought
to the attention of the people wildly

recommended. Taft was unconvinced,
however, and the soft pedal policy

EXPLAINS M|N0R|TY
REPORT
Republicans Did Not Want
Publicity Until After
the Election.

Louisville KY, Sept. Icon
gresham Ollie James. one of the
democratic members of the Balm
ger investigating committee, has re-
piled to the statement issued by the
republican members of the commit
tee in Chicago. He said:
The statement is only positive
proof of what we saw demonstrated
in Minneapolis, and that is that the
republican members of the commit
tee did not desire to make a report
on the Ballinger case until after the
elections. Their attempt to prevent
report was resorted TO by breaking
the quorum.
Senator Root arrived in New
York on the 9Th of this month. The
committee did not meet until the
9th to pass on the Ballinger reports.
Had he desired he could easily have
been in Minneapolis. Senator Flint
stated positively that he would not
be present. Representative Olmstead
was in Maine, making republican
speeches, which he thought more i'm
portant than attending to his official
duty. He might plead, however, in
mitigation of his absence, to the mi
nority, the result of the Maine cleo
ton. Representative DENLY was alb
sent, attempting to defeat an insur-
gent for the senate, in which he was
| likewise unsuccessful.
The rest of us were there-five
of us were there-ready to do bust
ness. We adjourned five days, await
| ing for the others. We had a duty
to perform, and we performed 1t.
The statement made by the gen.
tleman that the meeting called for
September in Minneapolis was for
the purpose of considering and dis
cussing what the report to be made
three months thereafter should be,
| is far from the truth. 1t was spe-
officially agreed when We adjourned
| in Washington to meet in Mime
apolis September that it was for
the purpose of making up our report
and giving it to the public.
I'VE owe it to the people to give
this report to them. II Secretary
Ballinger is innocent these gentlemen
ought to have the courage to say SO,
and not allow him to rest under a
cloud until after the election, or un-
til congress assemblies, and, on the
other hand, if -.r. Ballinger, as
guardian of many millions of the
peoples property, was an unsafe Of
fficial, and unfaithful to the people
the quicker this was given to the
public the better"

MAYOR
Committee Will Wait on
w. o. Parr-W. S. Gehr
Also Being Considered.

Various committees representing
different organizations are still look
ing for mayorality timber. A COM
mittee will wait on W. o. Parr in
the course of a day or so with the
idea of inducing him to become a
candidate. w. s. Gehr is also being
considered for the same position.
There is also cursory talk of P. P.
Holcomb and E. A. Wyman. The
additional duties which have fallen
upon the mayor during the past sew
eral years as result of the improve
ment work makes the office very
onerous and but few men care to I'M
dertake the duties.

Seattle, Sept. 16.-The Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, published by for
mer Senator John L. Wilson, who en-
tered the race for the republican
standpatter, this morning said in a
first page editorial announcement:
The Post-Intelligencer from this
day forward will be an Independent
republican newspaper, and its col
umns will be devoted to the moral,
the material, the social, the esthetic
upbuilding of Seattle, King county
and the state of Washington.
Politics will be treated in this
newspaper only in so far as it con-
Germs the specific aim and purposes
herein stated.
THE Post-Intel1Igencer will not
stand pat for a republican candidate
merely because he Is a republican.
THE stern logic Of events has
made it plain that the people of to-
day look to a newspaper for broader
leadership than the old party organ
could afford, and this demand for in
dependence of thought and opinion
on the part of the newspapers is too
insistent, too strong, too just, to be
ignored.

manners and methods of the day

NO LAKE WENATCHEE
Only Precinct i'm the County Which
Has Not Sent in Election
Returns.

Nobody here knows whether or not
an election was held at Lake Wenat-
chez last Tuesday. Anyway, the
county auditor has not received the
returns as yet. Merritt, Chiwaukum,
Stekekin and Blewitt were slow, but
they are finally in, and the four Of
them did not aggregate over 80 votes.
Lake Wenatchee polled "a votes two
years ago, but is not expected to have
over Is this year. Just as soon as
the returns are made to the auditor
the election canvassing board will go
over the returns and make the re-
turns to the state auditor. The board
consists of the auditor, attorney and
board of county commissioners.
The total vote, including the four
precincts not given in the Daily
World table of Wednesday, is as fol-
lows:

ADDED POULTRY CAR
Demonstration Train Has Received
Important Additional Feature.

Agent Piper this morning received
a wire from Traffic Manager Costello
stating that a poultry car has been
adden to the demonstration train
which is to arrive here tomorrow. 1t
will be in charge of H. S. Blanchard.
one of the greatest experts on poultry
in the northwest.
This feature will be an interesting
one to many. The opinion is gaining
ground among progressive fruit grow
ers that the growing of chickens can
be made very profitable and advan-
tageous adjunct to the raising of big
red apples. Authoritative informa-
ton on the subject will be welcomed
by many.

republican party of Missouri adopt

ter contest that was one of the
most bitter ever witnessed in a Mis-

fight was over the Endorsement of

mentioning of former President

former president be mentioned as

DIRECTORS IN
SESSION OVER APPLE POOL
Continuous Session for the Past Several Days and No
Sales Yet but Directors Negotiating With Big Ap-
pie Combinations and Good Prices Expected-Asso-
citation Will Fix Prices as in Past Years

Secrecy still shrouds the doings Of
the board of directors of the Wenat-
chez Valley Fruit Growers associa-
ton. A continuous session of the
members has been in progress for the
past several days. So far the big
apple pool of approximately 600 cars
has not been Sold One of the mem
bers of the board stated to the Daily
World this morning that the growers
need have no fear about the associa-
ton not receiving fair price for the
apples this year, and wants it dis
tinctly understood that there are
other outside dealers figuring on the
association apple other than repre-
sentatives of Wagner & Sons ana the
Gibson Fruit company.
Outside Dealers Negotiating.
1t is understood that one of the
biggest apple combinations in the
United States is now bidding on the
association apples, and that other
dealers are personally hurrying 10
the valleys for a chance TO bid or are
in touch with the board of directors
by letter or wire. Said one of the
directors this morning: I'VE abso-
lutely control the apple prices in this
valley this year but are not just
ready to pull the strings. We are
going to get good prices and there
need be no fear on that score, but
just now l have nothing to give out"
Will Fix Prices.
AS an evidence that the Fruit
Growers association does control the
fixing of prices in the valley this
year no other firms are making
prices. Apples are going out of here
in small quantities, but it is on a
commission basis and good returns
are expected, but just the same deal
ers are making no cash prices.
Furthermore, there is little effort
made to secure contracts as yet. All
over the valley there is unrest-a
feeling that the apples should be
marketed, but no one is bidding for
the fruit.
The same condition prevails in
Chelan. There is a good, big crop
there this year but no buyers. 1t is
safe to say, however, that the big
apple pool will be turned loose in a
few days Notwithstanding the Sc
crecy with which the association al
ways attempts to keep the prices,
there will be leaks, and the associa-
ton will this year, as in former years,
fix the apple prices for the valley,

EXPERIMENTS ARE
PROFITS SOURCE
P. L. Holland, Yakima Fruit
Grower, Adds to Size
of Apples.

Yakima, Sept. 16.-That it pays to
experiment has been proved to his
own and his neighbors' satisfaction
by P. l.. Holland. Putting into exc
cution certain theories which his ex-
perience as a Yakima fruit grower
had given him, Mr. Holland had been
enabled so far this season to increase
the value of many of his apples by
at least 25 per cent.
A graduate of the Washington
State college at Pullman, where he
specialized in horticultural subjects,
Mr.. Holland has put much of his
book learning into practice on his
orchard. His most recent expert
ment had to do with increasing the
size of his apples.
Spares Small Fruit.
Unlike other growers, he did not
pick his entire crop as soon as most
of it seemed ready, but instead mere
~ chose the biggest of the fruit
Having taken these from the trees
he subjected his orchard to furthe.
irrigation. The result was an ap.
probable addition to the size of the
smaller apples.
"By this method said Mr.. Hol.
land, Il not only increased the ap-
pies dimensions, but also their value
Some of the four and a half tier APP
Piles l advanced to fourier size. 1t
is my estimate that fully 25 per cent
has been added to the value of this
fruit"

LIBRARY NOTES

Miss Lutte e. Stearns, chief of the
state travelling library department,
visited our library one afternoon last
week.
Some new shelves have been put in
the front room of the basement for
fling periodicals, as the extra shelving
was much needed.
One hundred pasteboard magazine
cases have been purchased in which to
file the unbound volumes Of magazines.
These are n great convenience and look
much better on the shelves than the
tied volumes.
Mrs. II. l.. Rayner and Miss Lucy
Dawson presented magazines TO the
library recently.
Fifty volumes of magazines we're sent
to the bindery this month. There Is
nothing that is more useful for refer
ence work in the library than the bound
magazines with complete indexes. We
already have a collection Of which we
may be proud.
Before going westMrs. VIM. Bouflleur
presented about fifty books to the Ii
brary, many Of them children's hooks,
which will be very useful.
Miss Dawson presented three books
last week.
Rev. Percival ID. McCallum presented
a nicely bound volume of his poems en-
titled "Rivuletf Of Songs"
