NOT MERELY SOMETHING DIFF
FE,RENT''

The only really progressive regis
lation is of the constructive kind. 1t
is well to keep this in mind and to
measure many of the proposed in
novations on the basis of whether or
not they are fundamental. 1t is easy
to object and to tear down, and there
is a political school that seems to
have no other end in view, but to sub
stitute and rebuild and give the coun-
try some improved conditions is
quite another matter and this end
is not always as apparent as it should
be in the propositions that are be-
fore congress and the country.
The country may be wanting II
change, but the something different
that is many times proposed is a
change" for the worse many times
and not for the better. All construc-
tive legislation is progressive, and OBJ
ject and end becomes as important in
considering an innovation as is the
mere fact that the country needs a
change" There have been radica
changes in policy in national admin
istration that have reacted on the
activities of the people and have heen
productive Of industrial staguation
and society and the individual have
been made to suffer during the time
Of the readjustment
In all this clamoring for progressive
policies there ought to be this con-
sideration that the policies sought
are constructively progressive Other
wise they will defeat their own ends
and plunge the country into a whiri-
pool of uncertainty in the reaction
that is certain to follow any propo-
sition for a radical change in the
economic policies of the nation. This
is not to be taken to mean that there
shall be no changes, but that there
is something more to be looked Ia
than the mere matter of making d
Change"

In Earnest

The Roosevelt sentiment in Montana
is sincere. More than that. it pos
sesses strength and it is becoming
stronger. 1t is genuine. 1t will en-
dure. Montana realizes more thor
oughly, perhaps than any other state
in the Union, the merit which is in
the Roosevelt policies, than which
there has never been a policy more
important in the development OF the
west. We believe the Montana re-
publicans at Billings did we'll to in
dorse the candidacy of Mr.. Roosevelt
and that they did better to make their
Endorsement positive and emphatic.
The opposition to this candidacy is
resorting to the very tactics which
| would be expected in this case; this
opposition by its every utterance
makes plain the fact that Roosevelt
has thrown a scare into the camp
of the reactionaries. 1t is likely that
the opposition will assume a very bit
ter phase in the event that Mr.. Roose-
Welt concludes to accept the invita-
I ton to enter the race. But he is a
big man. He looms so far above the
men who seek to attack him and to

merce will hold large rally meeting
on March 12th at the opera house.
The main feature of this rally will be
an entertainment given by the public
ity man, Mr.. Quincy Scott. The OBJ
iect of the meeting is to make every
man, woman and child In Kittitas
valley thoroughly acquainted with the
aims and methods of the "Ellensburg
Chamber OF Commerce" and to make
evident what the work of this organ
ization means to every home in Kit
titas county.
In literary artistic circles in New
York Mr.. Scott has a reputation for
marked ability as a public speaker in
either humorous OF. serious things.
This program will be followed by a
ball given ON April 18th, and will be
one OF the series of entertainments
which will follow as the time adj
vances
At the regular meeting of the coun-
ell in this city, the contract for fur
nishing the municipal light depart
ment with 124 cluster light stand
ards was awarded to the Evans
Dickson Company of Tacoma The
price was S3,7S2. Besides this there
were seven other bids received, the
highest one being $4,000 asked by the
Toppenish Iron Works. "Elensburg
will be the best lighted city west of
the Mississippi when these lights are
installed" said E. j.. Butler, the SUI
perintendent of the electric light de-
partment, land the lights will be
shining not later than July fourth.
Last year, when the city spent $50, 600
in asphalting the streets, I prevailed
upon the city fathers to have con-
duits laid under the walks, realizing
that it would not be long until clus-
ter lights would be wanted. An inn
mense sum is now saved to the city,
as the walks will not have to be
torn up in order to place the stand
ards underneath.

theories a practical test on the eXpe-

The Practical View of 1t

NO man" says Senator Bailey,
"can examine the electoral vote by
states without reaching the conclu-
sion that We must carry New York
in order to carry the presidential
election And he might have added,
Ohio and Indiana. There is no reas-
enable combination that will figure
out the necessary 266 electoral votes
if these three states be omitted, and
to carry them it will be necessary
to poll the solid party strength in
addition to the Independent vote. Ex-
perience has taught us time and time
again that the Independent vote can
not be won for radicalism or inno-
walton. 1t is moderately progressive
and strongly leans to some of the
democratic fundamentals, but it can
never be expected to join with us in
political enterprise of socialistie or
semi-socialistic aracter.-Houston

CURRENT
PRESS COMMENT


Thrift is almost a forgotten virtue
with a large element in our popula-
ton, Too much is this the case in
cities Too much is there inclina-
ton to spend every cent that may be
earned, trusting to luck and Provi-
dence to provide for the sere and yell
low years.
The young woman who squanders
all she earns before marriage on
clothing-and the young man who
throws his substance away on idle
pleasure are equally culpable.
His aspiration is to wed a rich
woman Her aim is to marry man
with substantial earning power. Is
it surprising that when men and wo-
men with such sordid ambitions wed,
the way is made smooth to the di-
vorce courts?
Well-meaning but short-sighted re-
formers seek to remedy such condi-
tons by legislation. AS well try to
sweep back the rising tide with a
broom. Thrift is part of ma
tons instincts or it is non-existent.
Nor must it be considered that the
subject is ONE that does not vitality
affect the United States at this time
Rather, it is becoming more acute
with passage of each year. The
chances for earning "easy money" are
growing fewer.
Our mighty natural resources are
developed or in the hands of cor
porations that intend to develop them
The nation does not intend to loosen
its grasp upon those that remain in
the public domain. Sag
Therefore, more than ever before
the man and woman who seek tc
pile up a competence for that period
when neither will be enabled to dc
hard work, must win their way tc
hours of ease by dfnt of saving-by
sheer thrift.-Seattle Times

1t may remain after all for the
women of the country to solve the
problem of the high cost of living,
and they can do it through the eco
nomic management of household.
The frugal housewives of Chicago in
demonstration recently made, fur
nished a dinner where covers were
laid for $50 persons, and the price
fixed at so cents per plate. They
took a certificate of guaranty for value
received from their guests and show
ed that the initial cost of the meal had
been only Is cents per plate. The
menu for the dinner had attached the
menu prices of one of the leading ho-
tells which showed that the meal at
that hosiery would have cost SO per
plate. 1t has been asserted that the
women are to blame for much of the
increased cost of living but it may also
be proven that they can point the way
for a substantial reduction and show
conclusively that others are reaping
rich rewards in the prevailing prices,

GIVE THE BOYS ENCOURAGE
ME'NT

Yakima boys are to be encouraged
tatoes for prizes offered and in con-
tests for judging apples and dairy
cows at the state fair according to
plans now being formulated by local
agriculturists. This is a wise move
ment and in keeping with the pro-
gressive plans of other sections of the
country where it has been demon
strated that the best way to keep the
boy on the form is to teach him that
the farm offers something of interest
quite as much worth while as the
other industries he might pursue.
In the states of the south and the
middle west the plan of encouraging
the boys on the farms to contest for
eral years and the results have been
all that the most enthusiastic. The
prize corn growers among the boys
in Iowa We're this winter given a trip
to Washington where they were given
an audience by the president. They
were honored and in turn they honor
ed their respective communities and
the plan prom citing this interest is one
of the great things now being done to
improve farming and farm interests
in the communities where it has been
introduced.
Yakima valley is falling in line with
a very progressive movement when it
seeks to encourage the boys of the
valley to study agriculture and fruit
growing with an intensity and a pur-
pose. The plan that are maturing
will be certain to result in great good
to the community. The exhibition of
the product grown under this stimu-
lous and the work of the boys in judg-
ing the apples and dairy cattle next
fall will be one of the great points
Of interest at the fall meeting.

COAST FACES A NEW PROBLEM

When the Panama canal is COM
pleted the Pacific coast ports and not
those of the Atlantic will be the main
gateways for the horde of immigrants
that are coming annually into the
United States from European coun-
tries. This makes q new immigration
problem for the coast cities, and con
sequently for the citizens of the Pa
ciic coast states. Where we are hav-
ing a few hundreds of foreigners now
to assimilate in the northwest, we
Will have hundreds of thousands and
will get them direct from the father
land and not after they have drifted
across the continent.
The experience on the Atlantic
eeaboard has been that the foreign
Immigrant drifted into the cities and
crowded into tenement houses in col
onies of his countrymen, making the
can citizenship a complex one and
his presence in these congested cen
tiers a menace rather than helpful
factor in the community. In recent
years organizat tons have been forme
for the purpose of Turing the immi-
grant away from the cities and bring
ing him directly to the west where his
energies might be utilized in cultivat-
ing the soil, and thus adding directly
to the army of producers rather
than to the growing and over-abun-
dant army of consumers.
The west will be aple 10 profit by
the experience of the east and will
be prepared to begin at once a pre-
paration of getting the immigrant out
on the soil. 1t is felt that in the
acreage of logged-off lands and on
the dry farming lands, and other
areas yet to be reclaimed that the
immigrant can find and become a
prominent factor in developing the
resources Of the country.
In this connection an effort will he
made to colonize certain areas in the
northwest with foreigners who have
had experience in the intensive cul-
tivation of land. These can readily be
persuaded to come from centers OF
congested population in Europe and
will find the problem of maintenance
and sustenance very simple here as
compared with the one they have
been accustomed to in their native
land
The result of this is certain to be
a great influx of foreigners. and
such an intermingling of nationali-
ties as the northwest has never be-
fore experienced. It will mean that
our schools and social centers will
have an additional problem in the
training of this foreign element for
an understanding and an acceptance
of the duties of American citizenship
We have not only TO get the immi-
grant onto the land. but also TO make
him a welcome and acceptable factor
i'll the civic life Of the community.
