A Word to West End Voters

If the people OF the west end of
Chelan county, realize how much the
election of Lyman Lamb to the Office
of county treasurer means to US, if they
fully understood how, in many ways he
could, as county treasurer, help US to
get what is coming to all this west end
of Chelan county, they would, to a
man, support him for the Office he
seeks, without regard to politics. Mr..
Lambs interests are here. Our in
terests are his interests, and in the
very nature of things he would fight
for the square deal for the west end Of
the county. There is no doubt that
of the three men who seek the Office
he is the best fitted by temperament,
by educational fitness and by practical
experience, having served for years as
city treasurer, county auditor and coun
ty clerk in the county in South Dakota
from which he came. He has lived
here over six years, and everybody
knows him to be man in every sense
of the word.
In the same class is the county COM
missioner. I,eayenworth has never had
a county commissioner, Notwithstanding
the fact that aside from Wenatchee,
Leavenworth is the heaviest taxpayer
in Chelan county. The commission
er's court has charge Of all the road
and bridge matters of the county. New
roads, improvement and betterment of
old roads, bridges, and many other and
lesser matters are entirely in the con-
troll of the county commissioners, OF
which there are three. In the next
four years, Leavenworth will need some
new roads, and is greatly interested in
keeping the old roads in passible con-
dition. The west end of the county
will also ask that two bridges be built
within the next four years. One across
the Wenatchee river from the south
end of Eighth street and one across
the Icicle river at the upper end OF the
Cascade Orchards. To have these
much needed improvements made,
Leavenworth should be represented on
the commissioners court. Voters
should bear these facts in mind next
Tuesday.

The fight against Hodge grows more
rather than less bitter as the day of
election draws near. The Seattle pa
pers, the Pr. and Times, are GER
tainly going the limit to bring about
his defeat That many of the voters
of Seattle do not think the fight has
been fair or truthful was made evident
last Tuesday, when Hodge returned
after a months absence campaigning
in the eastern part Of the state. He
was billed to speak at the Grand Opera
house Monday at noon, to which meet
ing he had invited the editor Of the
P.-I. to present his charges. The
opera house holds 1900 people and
more than 5000 were turned away, so
that Hodge was forced to make four
other speeches to crowds in the streets.
His reception was very enthusiastic.

The Progressive Ticket

The progressive state and county
ticket put before the voters Of Chelan
county is worthy of the support and
confidence OF all those who believe
there is a sound reason for the launch
ing of new political party. 1t is
worthy of the support Of all that class
of voters who believe that both the old
parties have failed to respond to the
wants and necessities Of the people
and who have the best OF reason for
despairing Of ever getting relief for the
reason that both the republican and
democratic parties are boss-controlled.
A new party made up Of the best in
both the old parties, based on new and
real governmental problems appeals to
a large number Of voters and must de-
pend on their combined support for
success. The ticket put up by the
new party, national, state and county,
was selected, in so far as the law would
sanction, by popular vote, and is en-
titled to receive, and should receive,
the united support Of all who have en-
listed under the banner Of reform. If
the party lives up to its professions,
and there is a reason for believing it
will, it should receive very large vote.
True, grave and serious charges have
been made against the party's candi-
date for governor. But the very source
from which they come, and the further
fact that they were withheld, though
known for years, until Just few days
before the election, weakens them and
makes doubtful their truth. In the
light OF all the evidence so far put be-
fore the people we frankly say that we
believe Bob Hodge is more sinned
against than shining. That any fair
minded man, free from prejudice,
should prefer Hay to Hodge, is hard
to believe. Hadge would make the

in in the spring if the paving is not
completed does not think it wrong to
work on Sunday in order to get the
paving completed as quickly as posi-
BILE. The object in working on Sunday
is not to make money or to save money
but to avoid an intolerable condition.
Twenty or hirty trains go laundering
thru town every Sunday and we do not
complain, simply because we have got
ten used to this violatian Of the Sunday
law and no one thinks Of invoking the
aid of the law to stop them.

1t has always been considered bad
form, and ineffective, too, to hold
back charges against a candidate until
the eve of the election. The P.-I.
and Times should have made their
charges against Hodge month ear
lier. The voting public believes in
fair play. 1t usually frowns on snap
judgment. If the charges against
Hodge are true the longer the people
have to find out the truth for them
selves the more damaging the facts
will prove. The truth need not fear
the daylight.

To hesitant Republicans

1t is evident now that more than
half the members Of the republican
party, dissatisfied with the manner in
which that party is managed by its
present trust-directed leaders, will vote
with the progressives. The progress
sive party will be formed with the bet
ter class Of republicans as its mainstay,
just as the better class Of Wings be-
came the mainstay of the Republican
party when it was born. Why should
any honest republican, one having the
welfare of his country at heart, hesitate
at joining in this movement Of his old
political associates1 What's in a
name7 1t is only a party trademark.
The principles fought for are the
thing.

From The Frying Pan Into the Fire.
Never

In their fight on Hodge the Seattle
papers may drive some support from
that gentleman, but what they can not
do is drive it into the Hay camp.
Some progressive voters may not find
Hodge to their liking and decide to
vote for someone else for governor,
but they cannot be made to support
Hay. In Mr.. Lister, the democratic
candidate they have at least a man
who has shown capacity and is clean
and honest.

RURAL FREE DELIvERY-AND
"A FRECKLED-FACED, RED
HEADED MAN FROM
GEORGIA.

Along with the rural telephone,
the rural delivery Of mail takes a
position well up to first rank as
modern rural convenience which no
generation before this one has
enjoyed. It's another city conven-
fence that farmers enjoy and yet
they can retain all the freedom of
country life which can be obtained
nowhere else except in the country.
And when | think of the origin of
rural mail delivery my mind goes
back to February, 1893, when
freckled-faced, red-headed man from
Georgia, as a representative of the
old Farmers Alliance, plead with all
the power and force that was in him
before Congress for this convenience
for the rural homes of this country.
1t was in the strenuous days of
Populism-in the days when it tried
mems souls to stand for honest con-
victiOns. SO persistent was Tom
Watson in his plea for an appropria-
ton of the pitiful sum of ten thou
sand dollars to establish some test
routes-some experimental rural
delivery routes, that those old fogies
in Congress finally yielded and voted
for the appropriation as a dreamy
proposition, as crank" experiment
that would prove to be visionary and
impractical and that would die of it's
own weakness. And this marked the
beginning of rural mail delivery in
this country. Reforms like that
never originate among the upper
classes, among the powers that be,
but they always start down in the
ranks, among the common people.
indirectly, rural mail delivery is
product of the Farmers Alliance,
which made mistakes that cost the
life of the organization am
always sorry for the short-sighted
fellow who says the Farmers
Allianc was failure! But just to
keep history straight I may, in
future articles, refer more specifi-
cally to the folks who were pioneers
in reform ideas in this country, which
L think | can do, without offense to
those who differed from me, and
"cussed'' me, in the period to which
refer.-J. q. Green in The Marsh

cigarette, Ties in what is called mis-
direction With a glance from his
eyes, with a sudden movement of his
hand he attracts your attention to
his right side. Meanwhile his left is
doing the trick. Now, misdirection, in
my business, has just the opposite eff
feet. Amateurs, in investigating
crime, examine the evidence and see
clues pointing in some direction. They
follow those clues and find themselves
fOundering. They have the right
clues, but they go in the wrong direc-
ton. You read the evidence Alright

Why, after pledging me to solve the

insistent that l should Immediately

You lose," he responded tersely.
With one finger he began to trace an
almost invisible line on the goods
where there had once been a seam.
do you see that mark?"
YES" l replied. 81 noticed that
long ago. It simply means that the
skirt has been heightened or short
ened, but what of it?'
ct means more than that" he an
swered almost severely, as if reproach-
ing me for my lack Of observation.

have been heightened two inches. 1t
is a thirty-eight coat. Can't you see
how simple the problem has become?"
81 confess 1 can't see it at ALL"
Let me state it for you: A woman
from somewhere in Connecticut buys
q black suit of a rather peculiar tex
ture from cloak and suit house that
receives a great many mail orders.
She requires thirty-eight coat with
sleeves heightened two inches and a
thirty-eight skirt let down an inch
and half. That's enough to identify
any person"
Il must confess l still don't see
how that knowledge will help you"

house that sells women's garments
