MEADE POST MAKES
PROHIBITION MOVE
Passes Resolutions Regarding
Amendment of u. S. Inter-
State Commerce Law

Meade Post, No. G. A. r., at its
meeting yesterday passed a resolution
petitioning the senate of the United
States and the house of representa-
tives to pass the Kenyon-Sheppard
bill amending the U. S. interstate COM
merce law so as to prohibit interstate
traffic in alcoholic beverages within
prohibition states and "dry" territory
in local option states.
They believe it is very fitting that
the veterans who subdued the rebel
lion inaugurated by slave-holdins
states because they saw, by the cleo
ton of Lincoln, that they could nc
longer use the government to force
slavery upon the new-forming states
against the will of the people, should
petition congress to pass this bill.
Following are the resolutions:
Whereas: The transporting and de-
livering of alcoholic liquors into prohi-
bition states and in the ''6iry territory"
of local option states is an outrage
upon the people who have legally
adopted measures to suppress the traf-
fie in strong drink; and asrar
Whereas: This outrage is perpetrat-
ed under shelter of the United States
government, through the interstate
commerce lay, and is thus subverting
the principles of liberty and undermin-
ing the foundations of government of
the people by the people; therefore,
Resolved, That we, MEADE Post No.
9, Department of Washington, and
Alaska, G. A. r., North Yakima,
Washington, in regular session assem-
bled, numbering ninety (plus) mem
bers, do respectfully petition the Sem
ate of the United States, and the
House of Representatives, respective
ly, to pass the acknowledgement bill
and to thus free our government from
further completely in this gross in
justice and outrage of forcing the traf-
fic in alcoholic liquors upon the peo-
pie against their will and contrary to
the laws of the several aforesaid
states"

President Taft Bitter in His De-
nunciation of the lnnova-
ton That Is Proposed
CONSERVATIVES MUST
DEFEAT THE MOVEMENT
President In Addressing Ohio So
ciety Gives Vent to His Feelings
Against the Recall of Judges
and Sees Menace in System

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.--On the eve
of his three-days visit to Ohio Tart
spoke tonight at the Waldorf Astoria
to the Ohio society of New York, de-
liverfng probably the most important
speech made for several months and
directed against the ''Nostrums of re-
form" and particularly aimed at the
recall of judges.
In the efforts which the president
said had been made to reform legis-
1ation in this country, he saw much
that was good. He saw faults of gov
eminent in the United States today and
admitted that in trying to eradicate
them much might be accomplished by
reformers. but in the effort to make
the judiciary responsive to every
within" of the people he saw destruc-
ton.
Conservatives to Get Together
He declared the conservative ele-
ment of the nation eventually must
"get together" to prevent the move
ment that would make the courts the
creatures of the popular will and
might make the decision in every case
not accord with law, but accord with
what a majority of people thought the
law should be.
Orators and statesmen are going
up and down the country denouncing
the courts and pointing out their cor
rupt nature" said the president, 'but
the time is coming, in my judgment,
when the conservative people of this
country who are in favor of the eter-
nal principles Of justice and their ad-
ministration as to make them pre-
vail should rise to meet those mis-
guided supporters of an utterly indie
feasible theory and end the agitation
against the courts

Demurrer Sustained in Suit of Mrs.
Ida c. McCracken to Oust
Zillah's Mayor
PLAINTIFF OUT OF
COURT FOR THE TIME
Several Nice Points of Law Are
Involved in the Municipal Elec-
ton Held at Zillah on Dec. 5,
1911, According to Complaint

r. d. Herod, mayor Of Zillab, won
the first round in the legal contro-
versy involving his title to the Office
(which he holds. This was decided on
Saturday, January 81, when Judge e
B. Preble, Of the department No. /
of the superior court, sustained the
demurrer of the defendant to the
complaint of the plaintiff. The title
of the case is the State of Washing
ton ex rel. Ida c. McCracken, versus
r. D. Herod.
Lee & Bolin, of Toppenish, are at
torneys for the plaintiff, while Park
er & Richards, of this city. are looking
after the legal interests of the defend
ant. G. G. Lee and N. c. Richards
made their oral arguments before
Judge Preble on the afternoon OF
Monday, January 8. They might have
talked longer had they not been inter-
rupted by the Miller building fire. AS
it was they took more than an hour
and covered the ground very thor
oughly.
The demurrer was sustained on the
ground that the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause Of action.
BY sustaining the demurrer the
plaintiff is out of court temporarily
1t is possible that an amended COM
plant may be filed, and the case come
up later on it's merits.
The principal facts, AS alleged in
the complaint, are that there was an
election held in Zillah on December g.
1911, and that r. d. Herod received
two more votes for the Office of mayor
than Mrs. Ida G. McCracken: thai
the town council canvassed the votes
and declared the result as above, and
on December IL issued a certificate
Of election to r. D. Herod as mayor
1t was alleged in the complaint
that R. d. Herod was the candidate
of no party, and that no petition had
been circulated for him to be a can.
didate, and that no nomination by any
party, nor no petition with the re-
quisite number of signatures, nor any
petition at all, had been filed with the
town clerk in order that r.. d. Herod
might has his name placed on the
official printed ballot. but that said
r. d. Herod had gone to the town
clerk, D. A. Fox, and asked to have
his name placed upon said official bal
lot, and that the town clerk granted
the request.
Mrs. McCracken was the regular
| nominee Of the Business Mems ticket
and also of the Citizens ticket.
1t will be observed that the sustain

official ballot of the name of r. D

vitiated the election, or made it null
and void, remains to be seen-that is
If the case should again get into

some other form of action, where the
facts would be brought out and the
election laws would receive a dustine

GUINEA PIG FARM
IS LATEST SCHEME
Two Well Known West Side Men
Have Established Themselves
as an Aid to Science

A guinea pig farm is the latest thing
in North Yakima. Messrs. A. HI. Har-
mer and Charles W. Camp, both well
known west side business men are the
proprietors They have now half a
hundred guinea pigs and they expect
before the season is over to have sew
eral hundreds. They have just OBJ
tanned a consignment of pure bred
stock from the east and some of the
specimens are freaks of the finest ray.
There are Peruvian pigs and Abyssin-
ian pigs and Indian pigs and Dutch
belted pigs and English creams and
long haired and short haired pigs and
curly-haired pigs and all sorts of pigs.
In the matter of production the
guinea pig can give the ordinary aphis
all the pack and then beat it at the
game. Messrs Harmer and Camp be-
lieve that their pigs will be three
thousand instead of fifty before Yaki-
ma harVests its next applecrop, or
whereabouts
Are Aid to Scinccc
There is a home market for guineas
since the health spasm struck the
northwest, and the doctors and the
other scientists have been hungry for
guinea pigs. If they suspect a germ
they try it on the pig. If they sus-
pect the water or the milk or the tax
bill or anything of that sort, they
make a culture and if the pig can
stand it, why all right for the citizen.
But science fails where there are NO
guinea pigs. Right here is where
Messrs Harmer and Camp expect to
get their market. There are other
uses for guinea pigs such as pets for
children, lawn mowers for lazy gard
eners, window decorations and such
things But these are minor.

SAMSON GOES
WITH UNION
Well Known Fruit Salesman Will
Be Manager of the Horticul-
tural Warehouse
C. R. PADDOCK GOES EAST
TO PROMOTE THE SALES
Trustees Make a Move Which
Gives Them One of the Strong
est Possible Teams for This
Years Operations

E. e. Samson is to be general man.
ager of the Horticultural Union ware
house and fruit business the coming
season. c. r.. Paddock, who is now
the manager, will go east as general
salesman and will have in the eastern
territory, under his general supervis-
ion, two and perhaps more good sales
men. With such a com bination of ex-
pert fruit men in connection with its
selling end the Union trustees believe
they have a. strong team which will
maintain the position the Union at
tanned in the handling of the product
of the Yakima orchards.
Samson Is an Expert
Mr.. Samson was with the Union be-
fore but left three years ago to go
into British Columbia as the manager
of Horticultural union there. He
remained for two years with the Can
adam people and upon the expiration
of his contract and the failure of the
British Columbia crop year ago re-
turned to North Yakima and carried
on fruit business of his own the
past season. Needless to say he is
thoroughly acquainted with this pro,
ducing district and with the general
markets, especially that of the south
and north territory which he covered
for the Union when formerly in It's
employ.
Paddock After Markets
Mr.. Paddock, who took hold after
Mr. Samson has proven himself to be
an able business man and the Union,
both trustees and members, pay him
the compliment of saying that the pat
ronage the past year was better sat
isfied than ever before in the history
of the organization. In going east he
intends to actually put into effect the
broad policy of looking after the In
terests of the growers by searching
out for them adequate and desirable
markets for their fruit. He will re-
main east during the shipping season
and will make 1t his aim to post Mr..
Samson, at this end, with the infor-
nation he will need to look after the
increased business which of necessity
must be handled.
Enlarged Valleys Reputation
Speaking of the plans proposed for
the coming year, w. N. Irish of the
Horticultural union said last night,
'The Horticultural union feels that it
has done much the past year to main
tain and enlarge the reputation of this
valley for good fruit, honestly pack
ed and graded, and it is now seeking,
according to it's best judgment, to do
better work along that line the pres
ent season. The past has been a Sc
we're year for a number of fruit grow
ers but we are strongly of the opinion
that our people are satisfied than ever
before with what has been done for
them. The reputation of Yakima
fruit has been extended and now prac-
teal steps for extension of the mar
kets to meet the requirements of the
approaching season are being taken"
