Tho Rinq of a Statesman

During the early balloting In the
Colorado legislature for United States
senator, Former Governor Thomas
was In ST. Louis representing the
city OF Denver before the Federal
Court in the Water company fight.
SUme friend evidently had advised
him that votes were being cast for
him. to which he replied in the fol.
lowing words that should burn to the
heart Of every member OF the legis'
lative body:
St. Louis, Jan. 25-"rhe fact that
r. w. Speer got more votes than
Adams or that someone voted for me
or O'Donnell, or some other candidate
isn't Important news.
"While the election OF a U. S. sena.
tor Ia important, the honor and good
faith of the men In the legislature
and Of the party as whole Is more
important.
"Our legislature Is pledged to enact
progressive reform laws. The honor
OF the men who we're elected on that
platform Is at stake. The personal
integrity, almost, OF every man In the
legislature Is involved In his conduct
On matters on which he gave direct
pledge to the people either openly OF
| by inference which came With accep;
tance Of position on the ticket.
"You will interest me more II you
could come to me tonight and say
that the legislature Is rushing to
early enactment Of a headless ballot
law, bank guaranty law, a public
service commission law, an anti.pass
law and an honest registration law.
IL would feel 1t a tarnishcd honor
should those five votes grow TO ma.
jority OF the legislature and l should
go to Washington by the votes OF men
who had refused to be honest with
the people. l would feel Il personal
humiliation we're sent by men who
refused to keep their pledges to their
constituents and keep them In all
honesty, not by makeshift and sub
terfuge.
"lf those pledges were good enough
to catch votes with, they are good
enough to 20 to the United States
senate on.
"These candidates who have opened
headquarters to further their inter
ests might get a powerful backing
from the voters II they changed the
door to show that they are conducting
headquarters for furthering party
honor and party integrity by getting
the laws passed which the people
were promised should be passed.

STORED FRUIT WILL
NET A NICE PROFIT
Warehouse Man Tells of Men
Who Have Declined Figures
Which Were High Earlier

Two very interesting facts are re-
ported by j. l.. Hughes of the Yaki-
ma Artificial Ice and Cold Storage
company. One is that fruit and veg
etables, particularly potatoes, have
been coming in. of late, in large guam
titles for storage The past week or
ten days has been a wonderful in
crease proportionately in the quaint
ty of produce thus cared for. The
second fact of Mr.. Hughes is that one
dealer has turned down an offer of
s250 per box for apples he has in
storage. He expects the price 70 adj
vance. Before storing this man was
at the point of selling at much lower
figure but did not do so and has
reaped the benefit Another man who
has stored has an offer of $2.5 which
he will not accept though, after stor-
ing, he was on the point of selling at
$40, which was much higher than
he had been offered before he stored.
Arrangements have been made with
the banks under which money will be
advanced to the OWNERS of the fruit
on warehouse receipts. 1t is because
of this fact that dealers are prepared
to store and to hold, after storage,
until they obtain what they consider
to be an adequate price for their pro-
duce.

it was unfortunate, in a way, and
an advantage in another way, that the
exhibit of the Yakima county booth
was not planned far in advance. The
main exhibit is to go to Chicago, and
when it was decided to exhibit here
specimens were hurriedly collected
which in no way represented the
possibilities of the equity. One might
rather say that they show the prob
ability, as they were the average cror
of most farmers and not the picked
specimens generally shown. While
this placed the exhibit at disadvan
tage, when compared with its neigh
bors in size and general effectiveness
it also gave it an advantage over the

OMAHA, Nov. 4.-(Spee> The
Omaha Land Show has repeated its
success of last year in point of at
tendance, success in obtaining good
exhibits, and in the attitude of it's ex-
hibitors and the visitors. The at
tendance averaged 1000 a day, with
greater attractions annd far larger
crowds than ever before. The ex-
hibits We're of wonderfully good
quality most attractively displayed,
and from every part of the country
west of Omaha. Probably the atti-
tude of the exhibitors is due to the
fact that they We're most royalty yet
impartially, treated by the managers,
for whom they have only the highest
praise. And the visitors seemed to
realize to the fullest extent the value
of the displays and the Information
they obtain about them.

is NOT SUPPORTING THE
CAUSE OF ANY MEMBER
Efforts to Be Made to Make Uni
form First Two Years of High
School Work and 10 Stir Up
Proper Athletic Interest

Schoolmasters of Yakima county, SO
far as their teachers organization is
concerned, intend to take no part in
the political aspirations of members.
In session Saturday at the rooms of
the Commercial club they passed res
olutions to this effect. This action was
taken as the result of a report pub
lished some time ago that the male
teachers had endorsed Rodney Ackley
of this city for the position of county
uperintendent and that the lady
teachers, who now have the franchise,
proposed to endorse ]. A. jacobson as
their candidate. ,Messrs. Jacobson and
Ackley were the members of the COM
mittee which drew up the resolution
and it was worded as follows:
Resolved, that the Schoolm asters'
club of Yakima county has not at
tempted at any time to advance the
political interests of any of its men,
bers and does not intend to partici-
pate in the political activities of any
such mem bers in the future"
Teachers in Session Saturday
The teachers were in session at the
Commercial club morning and after
noon of Saturday. Among other things
they resolved upon a uniform course
of study in the first and second years
of high school work in all the high
schools of the county and Principal
Davis of the North Yakima high
school is to be the supervisor or di-
rector of the work and courses fol-
lowed
Messrs. Davis of North Yakima,
r. T. Robinson of Toppenish, and
Payne of Mckee were named a COM
mittee to arrange for debates among
the schools of the county and another
committee was selected to arrange a
schedule of athletic events and meets
among the pupils of the county
schools. The idea of this is to get
the various athletes in competition
| with each other to stir up some inter-
est in athletics and ultimately to or
ganize a good working county league
for nter-school contests.
The next meeting of the organiza-
ton will be at Toppenish, December

and experiment stations are working
out new problems every day, there is
still difficulty in reaching all of the
right class of people, with the results
of the work of these trained special
lists. The Land Show solves this prob
lem to a certain extent, by presenting
three things the average public never
receives otherwise. These are, Illus
trations of the country they are un-
acquainted with and accurate infor-
nation on the different sections, ac-
tual displays from every part repre-
scented and a chance to have personal
talks with the men who have made
good there and know their country
thoroughly. In the illustrated lee

one end to the other, and illustrating

The results of such a show are slow
to appear, but it is something to have
presented to people who are inter
ested in the west and it's possibilities
the actual facts of the productiveness
and opportunities there, annd to have
backed up staten cts made by displays
of the products actually grown under
the conditions and in the locality

and written of irrigation in these days
that it is surprise to find how many
people are unacquainted with the
methods, and here is a chance to
show them the results, as well as the
