The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-09-29

We can 90 it, but we can't do it by
filling our legislative bodies up with
shrimps and grafters, and by con-
tinually fighting among ourselves
over unimportant and trivial mat
tiers.
While all these grave questions
are going begging, the people of
Washington and especially Seattle
are spending their time and energy
fighting over who shall have the
gambling graft, whether there shall
be two or three saloons to the block,
how long a bed sheet ought really
to be to make man comfortable,
and whether a full grown, healthy
and normal man ought to be allowed
to smoke cigarette if he is so in
clined.
Unless we brush these trivial mat
tiers aside, unless we quit trying to
regulate the morals of our neighbors
by law, and get down to business,
Washington and Seattle will miss
the grandest opportunity which any
community has ever had.-Argus.

In view of the increasing popu

In view of the increasing popu
larity of Pacific Northwest fruits
growers in other parts of the country
intend to find out the reason fol
their superiority. Accordingly, the
Indiana State Experiment Station
has sent for twenty-five tons of Wen
atchee soil. It will be placed in the
Hoosier State and planted. If bet
ter results are obtained, it will indi-
cate that the Northwestern soil is
better suited to apple culture, while
if the trees do not do better than
those in native dirt, the inference
will be that the difference is due to
climate.
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-09-29

Elaborate programs are being
formulated by the leading cities of
the Northwest to entertain President
Taft when he gets here next month.
Certain it is he'll not have an idle
minute. In Seattle he has accepted
an invitation to meet with the Press
Club and thenewspaper men promise
him a novel session. This is the
only informal function he will at
tend on the Pacific Coast. When
President Taft goes to Mount Rainier,
he will get the very best attention
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railway can furnish. This
visit of the presidents will be made
the means for attracting nation
wide attention to the big mountain.

Interest is growing in the North
western Land Show, to be held in
St. Paul next December. One oil
the features will be an alta liza palace
for the demonstration of this grass
as a food for stock. All of the land
products of the Northwest will have
special places and there will be COM
petitions in which farmers can win
handsome prizes. The Northern
Pacific Railway has issued a hand
some folder advertising the Land
Show, which is being distributed to
interest participants and visitors.

If public sentiment is sufficient
ly strong, the battleship Oregon
will be the first to pass through the
Panama Canal, when it is opened
in 1915. This matter is being ad.

record OF the old ship, which circled

more in commission. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Winthrop

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Pensioners Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat in
in the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of a small parish in Vermont He
aspired to greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputa
ton would travel beyond the limits Of
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for compl
ment, but which was put to him in
such a way that it left him In doubt
a. to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one OF the
most faithful attendants at all serV
ices. Approaching the young minister
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are SO IN
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

SAYS LAW Is INADEQUATE
State Railway Comm sson in Report
Asks for More Power Over Stock
and Bono Issue.

Madison.-The annual report of

porations.
That it should be empowered to
ascertain ii the issues of bonds and
stocks are within the statute, and
whether or not the amounts are
reasonable for the purposes for which
they are to be issued.
That the present law in regard to
grade crossings be more specific; that
the state make an appropriation to
pay it's share of the cost of mainten-
ance Of crossings, or that the act be
amended to exempt the state from
paying it's share of the cost.
In reference to the elevation of
tracks in Milwaukee the commission
reported that negotiations were going
problem would be soon solved.
According to the report there are
forty-seven railways doing business in
the state, operating 1852 miles of
road, an increase of 33 per cent dur
ing the year. The total earnings

II Clio per cent. The operating ex-
penses were $42,142,597, an increase

trio lines in the state, an increase of

to $6,788,101, an increase of liz
per cent, and the operating expenses
were $4,678,363, an increase of IS
per cent.
The express companies do not sepa-
rate their earnings in the state, but
the revenue of the Wells-Fargo COM
pany amounted to $9O3,795.
There were 851 public utilities in
the state, consisting of 1919 electric
light plants, IS gas plants, 119 water

Edward Eckert Has Served 80 Years
and Court Held Ia the
Limit.

Jefferson.-After having served
thirty-two years of a life sentence,
Edward Eckart is believed by
friends to have been illegally con-
victed, and they have written letters
to Gov. Davidson in an effort to
obtain his pardon.
Eckart was convicted of murder
on circumstantial evidence The
jury in the case brought in a YER
dict of guilty without specifying the
degree of murder, and the supreme
court ruled three times that the
trial court erred in sentencing. In
1898 the court ruled that the maxi
mum sentence possible under the
evidence was fourteen years, the
limit for third degree murder.
Eckart has already served twice
that time

BeIoit CITY Dads Want PAY.

Beloit.-Labor of love will be a
thing of the past with the city coun-
Gil hereafter if favorable action is
taken on an ordinance introduced by
Aid. Horstman. Though Beloit has
grown to be city of Importance no
action has ever been taken to reim-
burse the aldermen for the time or
money they have devoted to the pub
lie welfare. Attendance has been
slack at times and it is thought that
payment and penalties will result in
better service The bill calls for 81
for council meetings and so cents for
committee meetings.
