Win FROM PASCO

In a game marked by heavy hit
ting and loose fielding on both sides,
Kennewick made it three wins in
row and took last Sundays game
from the Pasco city team by a score
of IL to 10.
The game was marred by too
much wrangling to suit the specta-
tors, but this is a condition that is
likely to prevail every time Pasco
plays, there two or three men in
their lineup who are bad actors in
this respect and who seem to enter
tain the fOregone conclusion that
they are bound to be robbed.
Be it said to Pasco's credit that
they played a good uphill game. With
the score 9 to 4 against them in the
sixth, they tied the score in their
half of the ninth. In Kennewick g
half, Walters finally was worked

Lloyd promptly allowed the score
which won the game, at the risk of
fourteen distinct kinds Of assault
and battery at the hands of the
Pasco aggregation, who of course
'hollered their heads OFF" Though
it was perhaps unfortunate that the
game should be won on 80 close a
decision, It is the opinion of all
those who could see the play closely
that the umpire was right.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
PLEASES PACKED HOUSE
Local Amateus Give First Class
Presentation of Charles
Aunt" at Pavilion

The High School students, staging
"Charlie's Aunt at the Pavilion,
Friday evening of last week, were
greeted with packed house.
The popularity of the comedy
selected, the appreciation of the ablll-
ties of those taking part, and the
loyalty of Kennewick to its public
schools are responsible for the ex-
celIent attendance secured. All the
school entertainments ever given in
the city have been successful, but
surely "Charlie's Aunt was the best
ever from any. and every standpoint.
Under the able direction of Miss
Margaret Wetmore and Supt. Lewis,
Kennewick was treated to fine play,
ably presented, well staged, and more
than usually we'll interpreted. The
young people who made up the cast
showed how faithful and tireless had
been the work and perhaps those of
US who were so we'll entertained by
them cannot full appreciate the weeks,
days, and hours of unremitting labor
represented by the final production.
"Charlie's Aunt made a hit
financially as well as artisticaly as the
school treasury was enriched by the
addition of about Sis
While space forbids extending to
each one of the cast the praise that
their individual performances merit,
it may be said that the entertainment
was put through without a single hitch
or moment of hesitancy on the part of
any of the participants. The details
of the stage arrangements were well
worked out and the play as a whole
was far above the average amateur
performance.
"Charlie's Aunt has afforded
many the enjoyment OF an audible
smile where ever it has been staged at
different points of the globe, but it is
safe to state that never was it better
appreciated than when put on by the
High School students of Kennewick.

Cornfield to White House,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-"The
president has raised an issue which
will rage with undated fury until the
close of the polls in November, 1912"
When Speaker Champ Clark threw
down this challenge in what is now
regarded as one of the most brilliant
and militant speeches of his entire
career, it meant not only that the
Democratic fight for lower cost of
living was to be one to finish, but
that Champ Clark himself was the
man best qualified to lead that fight.
To those in the galleries, too, there
was significant meaning to this wild
demonstration; it meant that Champ
Clark of Missouri, who started life
as poor barefoot country boy plow-
ing corn on a rocky hillside in Ken
lucky, had entered upon the last leg
OF a journey to the White House,

President Taft's Tariff Vetoes

Such whistling up the wind has sell
dom been heard as that of the pub
licity bureau at the White House ov-
er President Tafts vetoes. If these
sounds were echoes Of public opinion
Mr.. Taft would have an easy go for
reelection. That they are such
echoes is what the wild whistlngs
seems to say. II doubt it," said the
Carpenter, and shed a bitter tear
the carpenter in this instance being
Mr.. Taft's playfellows in politics. His
judicial Recall veto will play no very
important part, Congress having let
Arizona in upon condition it Will

own pleasure as a state; but the tar.
If vetoes are going to make much
glorious trouble. Mr.. Taft calls a
session of Congress to pass his re-
ciprocity agreement with Canada, an
agreement in the direction of free
trade which is as useless practical
to help or to hurt as college text
book. But when it comes to free
trade measures that would hurt the
grating interests and help the farm
ers, he vetoes them. An interesting
Presidential campaign on economic
questions along radical lines looms
up in consequence in the political
sky.

lease for a long period on a portion
of the new wharf the F. G. Foster
company is building on the river be-

Coincident with the announcement
that the lease has been taken on the

Upon its disappearance the Louvre

ing every nook and Granny of the

We're started working on the outside.
One of the theories of the authorities
was that the thief was young man
who was known to have become enarl-
ored of the painting and who had
visited it at intervals for several
months, sitting before it with a rapt
expression for hours together They
believe that he fell in love with the
race, as painters have been known to
become enamored of their own works.
and grew insane upon the subject, his
mania finally prompting the crime.
SO much were people affected by this
masterpiece that some shed tears at
sight of it. Not Il few letters have
been received at the Louvre addressed
to Mona Lisa" and expressing love
to her as to Il living person.
That the deed was the work of some
deranged person seems almost certain
for the reason that the picture could
not be disposed Of and hence would be
without value to the thief. A painting
Is only valuable when shown. If the
criminal could dispose of it to a pri
vate collector-and it cannot be con-
ceived that any thief would dare to
offer 1t for sale or that any collector
would be so foolish or depraved as to
buy it-such collector would not dare
exhibit it for fear Of detection. While
there are many copies of the painting
that the average man could hardly de-
tect from the original, there are al
ways those who can distinguish. and
now that the whole world Is on the
lookout for the picture every COPY will
be subjected to closer inspecti, -.
Moreover, an old master Is chiefly
liable because it is an original, and t
be able TO refer to 1t as such and

saved the situation by boring Hagar's
