The business manager ti1rns his
mead while something like a pearl
rolls down his cheek to shine trans
lucent on his tie pin.

Yes, sir. that's. the idea, sir1 write
them an editorial, sir"
It is a masterpiece.
In it the editor tells first how
shocked and surprised the paper is to
learn that vice still exists in the city,
Then he shows how the paper has
always been opposed to vice, and that
If the upholders of vice had any self
respect they would have retired long
ago rather than thus fly in the face
of enlightened public opinion.
Thirdly, he points out that the rea-
son vice still exists is because Of the
mayor, whom the paper has always
. opposed, and because Of certain news
sheets which seem to condone and
even to approve Of present conditions.
Lastly he announces to the world
that since at last the paper has
learned Of the deplorable state Of af-
fairs it will lose no time righting
things.
With this he waves two rhetorical
flags and makes an end.
On his way home he stops for a
look in at the business office.

time in the middle of the afternoon.
Everything else on the floor is quiet.
In the next room the exchange man,
who ninety-six years ago Joined the
paper as Office boy, slumbers peace
fully, his face on the Saturday sup
plement Of the Ottumwa Gazette.
Owing to the newness Of the report
er on the city hall job the blow has
fallen without a word to soften the
shock. The results have been appar-
ent at once. Even the exchange man
has turned over uneasily in his sleep.

business manager and that large two

wood and used him to further their
own ends inside the party. No one
accuses Haywood Of being an intel

with big heart, and is easily carried
away by the salvos Of the multitude,
but not capable Of doing any thinking
on his own account. The literature Of
the party is almost monopoly of the
Charles H. Kerr Company, Of Chi
cago, and Kerr, as one Of the intel
lectuals," has seen to it that the re-
view which he issues, and as much
of the literature as the business will
carry is devoted to an attempt to de-
stroy the constitutional element in the
party and to support the semi-anarch-
list section. For two years In success
headed by the late William Mailly,

a like mind, have secured majority

Can Wilson Do .It?-

1t is refreshing that Wilson recog-
nizes that our economic system is
heartless. Every man and woman of
intelligence whose capital is limited
and every man and woman who be-
longs to the working class who have
felt the crushing weight of industrial
slavery, knows that the giants in fl
nance and commerce are the masters
and rule with an iron hand.
We know the many diseases in our
social life, and it is not necessary
that Wilson shall indulge in repeat

The Curse of Plenty

The Curse Of Plenty
The destruction of the bulk of the
California orange crop by frost un-
doubtedly will work a hardship to
individual growers, but its effect
upon the orange growing industry
will be stimulating.
The orange industry has been un-
profitable, owing to ~over produc-
ton" No one, it is true, has COM
planned of glut or oranges on his
sideboard, but the market for oran-
ges has not been active.
Immediately the word was received
that there had been heavy frost in
Southern California, the prices of or
anges began to advance. The part Of
the California crop that was picked,
with the Florida crop, may be expect
ed to bring higher price than the
entire crop would have brought if
there had been no loss of fruit by
frost.

Where He Was Going.

1t is related of Commodore De-
catur that after he had tanned the
Barbary powers, whose energies had
been reawakened while the war of
1912 kept our navy busy, he set out
in his flagship, the Guerrero, to
make his way across the Mediter-
ranean unattended and suddenly
found himself in the midst of one
of the corsair fleets which had re-
NAMED in neutral port during hos
tilities. The situation looked rather
squally. The corsair admiral hailed,
"What sheep is dat?' "The United
States ship Guerrero, Commodore
Decatur" was the reply. "Where
you going?" was the next question.
"Where / please" Numbered De-
catur through the speaking trumpet,
and the Guerriere proceeded unmo-

RICH APPLE DISTRICT IS
PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY
Peshastin Apple Trees Heaviest Bearers
Best Quality of Fruit

Having had occasion to make TRIP
to this rich fruit district, three miles
down the valley from Leavenworth, the
first OF this week, the Echo represen-
tative was simply astonished at the
heavy fruit yield of this highly favored
district. Having been told by man
from Wenatchee that the trees were
heavier loaded and that there were
fewer non-bearing trees than in the vi
cinity of Wenatchee he had to believe
it on the ground that man will not
make an admission to his own dlsad-
vantage unless it is true.
We found ]. A. Warman in charge
of the Peshastin Fruit Growers new
warehouse, fine new frost proof build
ing with a storage capacity OF APPROX
imately fifty cars. He said they had
shipt out a car Monday and would
from that time on ship out at least one
car every day. Fruit ripens in this
upper region a little later than in the
vicinity Of Wenatchee and picking and
packing is just now beginning in
earnest.
Mr.. Ludwig is in charge of the
Wenatchee Produce Co.'S. warehouse
and assured US that the apples of the
upper vally were Of very superior
quality. This company has also begun
shipping and expects to do large bus
mess in Peshastin apples, tho the
greater number Of cars will be shipped
by the Peshastin Fruit Growers Asso
citation.
Peshastin is a busy and prosperous
village. There are two stores carrying
general line of goods: The Peshas-
tin Mercantile Co., in charge of Mr..
o. D. Reeves, doing a large trade.
D. Mccoy is the pioneer merchant OF
the town, who besides carrying a gen
eral line Of groceries and dry goods,
also handles hay and grain in car load
lots. He carries an unusually large
stock of goods, which, however, his
constantly increasing trade justifes.
The post office is in charge Of ]. B.
Duncan, who also does a candy and
soft drink business. ]. Q. Carroll is
the village blacksmith. Peshastin has
handsome brick school house il
charge of an able corps of teachers
The saw mill of ]. Q. Guilbert has

ness but is at present shut down.

advantage OF central location, acces-
sible to all street cars and convenient

concrete construction, would provide
the most comfortable quarters ever &C.
cupied by the apple show.

ers conferences cover broad field.
H. c. Sampson, manager Of last years

ranging this feature. He is trying to

men OF more than national reputation
in matters pertaining to fruit, among
them the following: 7. E. Carver,
head of the new marketing division of
the United States department of agri-
culture; A. E. Powell, president OF
the California Citrus growers, and B.
F. Yoakum, president of the Frisco
system.
Paul H. Weyrauch. manager of the
Blalock ranch near Walla Walla and a
trustee Of the apple show, attended the
last board meeting. Mr.. Weyrauch
expressed approval of the plan and
scope Of the exposition, saying: This
institution is on the right track when it
endeavors to help the grower to grow
good fruit, to dispose Of it at profit
and to utilize the by-products. I be-
lieve the National Apple show has
done much toward bringing about the
present approach Of perfection Of the
northwestern apple"

West bound passenger train No. 43
was delayed here yesterday six and a
half hours by slide near Windy
Point, some four miles west of the
tunnel. Rufus Wood Of the Wenat-
chez World was a west bound passen-
ger and employed the layover in visit
ing the print shop. He was bubbling
over with prosperity talk. He said
the present price of apples would fairly
make business hum in Wenatchee this
fall and winter. Every box OF apples
would bring dollar and quarter to
the valley. The yield Of the valley is
over half a million boxes, and means
prosperity for the apple growers.

town could have pipe organ, a

houses. They all plan making an

show the people of that country
that they can save money and get
better quality for what they spend
by trading at home. The parcel
post is responsible for the awaken
ing, and it really begins to look as
though the establishment of that
department of the postal service is
to be the best thing in the world
for the merchant in the small town.
He will be progressive now and get
business that formerly slid past
him, because he will now use the
local paper to tell the people of the
bargains he has been offering them
when they were trading with the
mail order house grafters. 1t has
proved the awakening. -Mesaba
