POLITICAL STIR.

ZONE persons had hoped that the political pot

Thomas F. Bayard by few remarks to a reporter
OF The Journal has started the Democratic pot 10
boiling so hard that it is overfowing 30 we pre-

must have been an awful strain on them-that
Delaware should journey peacefully and more or
less seepy along without a political sur

the Others the orange and black Mr. Bggs and
Judge Marvel who are not stockholders IN Mr.

claim that he is the original Wilson,m man and will
have a syndicate Of his own. And then the letter

IN A FEW HOURS
Says Quinine Isn't Effective
In the Cure Of Colds and
Grippe

Nothing else that you can take will
break your cold or end grippe SO
promptly as a dose of Pape's Cold

ness, head and nose stuffed up. fever

tim pain and other distress begin

Pape's Cod Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost OF
more than fifty thousand dollars. and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment OF colds or
grippe
Take this harmless Compound as
directed. with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made ant-
where else in the world, which win

ROOsEyELT IN LIMELIGHT.

- OLONEL ROOSEVELT should be supremely
~ happy He has jumped back into the polit-
cal limelight, and despite the assertions that he
is out of the presidential race some won't believe
IT, and the Roosevelt mystery will persist to the
delight and pleasure Of Colonel Roosevelt.
The former President could settle the matter
definitely if he would announce that under no cir
cumstances would he accept the nomination If Of
fered him by the national convention, hut that
might solve the mystery. The Colonel however,
wishes to keep the people guessing.
President Taft explains it all if statement he
is reputed to have made to some friends is cor
rect. The President is reported as saying in sub
stance that the attack made by Roosevelt upon
him did not surprise Taft for Theodore's love
of the fray and of the melight was so strong that
he could not keep out Of either

I1sEIESs OFFICE HOLDERS.

IN URING the last few years many reforms have
~ been made in the political conditions Of New
Jersey, but the reformers have not been able 70
do away with the useless Offices the holders OF
which draw heavy pay from the state treasury
During the recent campaign the Republicans
made promises that they would inaugurate an era
of economy and now they are expected to make
good. Seventeen years ago there was political
overturning in New Jersey The control of the
state was wrested from the Democrats and held by
the Republicans with an occasional lapse until the
present. On the Wilson tide the Democrats were
swept into power but at the election this year
the Republicans regained control
When the Republicans assumed the manage
ment OF the affairs Of the state seventeen years
ago, law was passed fixing the number of officers
10 be employed in each branch of the Legislature
and their salaries Liberal provision was made.
But it was subsequently discovered that the con-
sttution of the state provides that each house
shall choose its own officers and the attempt Of
former Legislature bind its successors as TO the
number of officers was resented.
The. Legislature of 1895 limited the number Of
clerks, door keepers and pages to sixty-two, but
the recent Legislature employed more than 100.
Just what these persons could find to do is guess,
but their employment is described as honest
graft" The last session of the Legislature cost
the payers in salaries for the subordinate en-
ployes $4,000 and in salaries to the members
$4,000 1t may thus be seen that the new legs-
ature has splendid opportunity to>work a real
reform and save the money of the tax payers by
curtang the number of subordinate employees.
Delaware does not suffer as does New Jersey by
having SO large a number Of subordinate employees
drawing money from the state, but possibly there
is chance for Improvement in our state Ii is
we'll to bear IN mind that the money which useless
employees receive is money that otherwise could
be used for permanent improvements which would
benefit the tax payers

reduce the amount governments spend either d-

PASCO POLICE NAB HOVER ROBBERS

According to the Spokesman-Re-
view, one of the men who cracked
the postoffice safe at Hover, Sunday,
March 26th, was caught with the
goods at Pasco on Saturday last,
The account reads as follows:
"Chief of Police Harvey Gray re-
ceived telegram from the marshal
at Hover, that the postoffice had
been robbed Sunday night and
about $500 worth of stamps and
silver tea service taken. Tuesday
Patrolman Spring had tip that a
man was trying to dispose of a sill
yer tea service. A Japanese was in
duced to approach one of the men
and say that he wished he had
stamps to send back to Japan, as
over there the stamps could readily
be turned into money and it was
safer than sending the cash. The

man he spoke to, Joe Davis, in

"Postoffice Inspector C. B. We'll
ter in the meantime came to Pasco.
1t was decided to furnish the Jap
with $3.50 and have him purchase
the stamps. AS a signal that the
stamps were being counted out, the
wife Of the Jap was to go out in
view of waiting officers for glass
of water. When the woman came
out for a glass of water Officer Spring
showed open the door and thrust a
gun under the nose of Davis. Davis
made futile attempt to close the
door. Back of Spring were Chief
of Police Harvey Gray, Postoffice
Inspector c. B. Welter, T. V. Davis
and Patrolmen Ross and Giezentan-
ner. Apparently all the stamps
were recovered

ENDORSE PUBLICITY PLAN

At the special meeting last night
the Commercial Club gave it's en-
thusiastic endorsement to the
community plan of advertising
offered by the Hartman lines
and described in these columns
last week.
The plan gives the community
at least $4,000 worth of adver-
tising matter for less than quar-
ter of that sum, and on easy
monthly payments. Cooperating
with nearly every town on the
Kennewick- Yakima line, the road
will this year give this valley the
greatest publicity campaign ever
enjoyed by any district in the
country. Realizing this, the Club
was not slow to decide that Ken
newick cannot afford to be left
out Of it.

TRY OIL ON STREET

The street committee of the cOun-
Gil met Wednesday morning for a
wrestle with the problem OF repair
ing the bad hollow at the postffioce
corner.
The sidewalk on the east side OF
Washington street and from Wash
ington for a block east on Walnut
street will be lowered to the estab-
lished grade as will also Walnut
street itself. As soon as the street
grade is lowered, crude oil will be
put on, narrowed in, rolled and
then another sprinkling OF oil will
be put on.
The result OF oiling this block OF
street will be watched with interest
as, if successful, it will mean that
much more OF the streets will be
similarly treated another season.

KNIGHTS MEET IN
DISTRICT CONVENTION
Uniform Rank from PrOsser Puts on
Drill Work in Streets-TOwn
is Decorated

Entertaining two different frater-
nal orders, Kennewick was the
meeting place for the district con-
vention for the Knights of Pythias
and the Modern Woodmen of Am
erica. The city was decorated in
the K. of P. colors, and with flags
and bunting fluttering a welcome,
but few knowing of the NJ. w. A.
convention.
The feature Of the day, SO far as
the outsider could see, was the at
tendance and drill of the uniform
rank of the K. of P. The delega-
ton from Prosser, numbering fifty
or more, arrived ON the afternoon
train and were met at the station
with the band and some two hun
dred common folks. Forming in
line the entire delegation marched
thru town to the corner Of Wash
ington and Second, where Capt. J.
K. DePriest drew up the ranks for
inspection by Major r. A. Mullin-
ger.
The company was put. thru the
various squad formations in the
drill and concluded with the manual
of arms in the sword drill. The
three hundred spectators showed
their appreciation of the work Of
the second best drill team in the
state, by generous applause.
After the drill the convention met
in business session in the Masonic
hall, and in the evening a candi-
date was put thru the tolls by the
Uniform Rank.
The most amusing incident of the
afternoon was the flying squadron
of go-carts, five of which were
pushed abreast down the walk. The
five young matrons, each wheeling
her first-born to a vantage point tC
see the drill, caused no end OF
amusement.
The day will be remembered by
at least one little fellow who could
not see enough of the 'sojers. .
The boy, knee-high to toad, eager
| ly followed every step and paid the
strictest of attention to every com
mand. and By this time no doubt
has a company of his own to put
thru the drill.
