HOW ABOUTCL
LAND7

The town of Cleveland is proud
Of its exceptionally rapid gain in
population and wealth in recent
years. Also of its leadership in the
movement for better municipal gov
eminent.
Cleveland has enjoyed repute,
among forward-looking people all
over the country, as a real leader, a
real constructive organizer, of
municipal programs in the popular
interest.
Among the reasons why Cleveland
has enjoyed this high esteem among
intelligent people is the fact that it
has sent the Hon. "Bob" Crosser to
Congress.
Crosser signalized his appearance
here by introducing legislation for
the public ownership of street rail-
roads. The fact that man from
Cleveland, where they understand
such things, introduced that bill,
gave it a good deal of its strength.
The bill has been favorably report
ed to the House. 1t will pass if
it comes to a vote.
For that bill to pass, would sig
nifty that Cleveland's civic leadership
was recognized by Congress, by the
whole nation.
1t would write the record of
Cleveland leadership, among the
cities of America, in the statutes of
the nation.
1t would be, in truth, a bigger
testimonial to Cleveland's domina-
ton of national thought than the
fact that Cleveland is now the sixth
city"
Therefore it's hard to believe that
Cleveland will go back on itself.
II the town wants to maintain its
high repute as center of civic in
tellectualism, it wants to stand by
"Bob" Crosser and his work in
Washington.
There are reports of opposition to
Crosser's denomination in his Cleve-
land district. 1t is even, said that
the opposition is able to raise money
and put up quite strong appear
ance of taking itself seriously.
About all that the average Wash
ingtonian feels able to observe,
apropos of this situation, is that if
Cleveland manages to go wrong on
Crosser, it will be proof positive
that Cleveland's claim of intellectual
and civic leadership is a fake, a
fraud, sham, and delusion.
A town that thinks as well of it.
self as Cleveland thinks, will not
defeat Crosser.

valentine and announcement party
at her home, from to II o'clock.
Miss Cline's sister, Faye, who is at
tending the State Normal at Cheney,
Wash, came home to assist and be
present at the party. Thirty-eight
guests were invited, each being re-
quested to bring her sewing and her
best story in instrumental music
poetry or song. Refreshments were
served carrying out the valentine
idea, consisting of sandwiches, as
sorted cakes and salads, all being

WOULD PROVIDE FOR
PURCHASE COMMITTEE
Councilman j. NJ. Palmerton Offers
Resolution to City Council Which
Fails by Big Vote

BE it resolved, by the city council
OF the City of Pullman, that Council
men w. G. Kruegel, G.. H. Watt, j.
N. Scott and j. NJ. Palmerton be and
are hereby appointed as a purchas-
Jog and auditing committee of the
city for the year 1914, and that no
material or supplies be purchased,
labor employed or contracts entered
into without their approval, and
that no bills against the city be al
lowed which have not been audited
and approved in writing by said COM
mittee, or a majority thereof"
Moved by Palmerton, seconded by
Sanger, that the above resolution,
introduced by Palmerton, be adopt
ed. Vote: Yes-Palmerton, Sanger.
No-Wagner, Kruegel, Nye, Watt,
Scott.
The above transaction, which took
place at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil Tuesday evening, was branded by
some of the city officials and citi-
zens who were present at the coun-
Gil meeting, as an attempt to take the
balance of municipal power from the
entire council and mayor and place
ii in the hands of committee of four,
without giving the mayor the Gus
tomary privilege of naming the COM
mittee. The introduction of the
resolution was the cause of a spirit
ed discussion and the overwhelming
vote against the adoption of the
measure was proof of its unpopu-
larity.
The mayor and probably the ma
jority of the councilmen agree that
an auditing committee should be APP
pointed and such a committee will
probably be named by the mayor at
future meeting, after an ordinance
creating the committee has been
properly passed.

ARRANGE DETAILS
FOR OPENING CHURCH
Presbyterian Congregation VIII Meet
March 2 TO Make Plans for
Decorating Beautiful New
Building

At the meeting of the finance COM
mittee of the local United Presby-
terrain church, held this week, it was
decided to issue a call for a meet
ing OF the entire church congrega-
ton on the evening of March 2 to
consider matters relative to the COM
pletion, dedication and opening of
the church now under construction.
At the meeting the treasurer's re-
port showed that when com pleted
and ready for use, the building and
plant will represent an expenditure
of about $4,000, $4,000 of which
is subscribed by the general assembly
Of the United Presbyterian church.
The largest subscription made by a
single individual member of the
church, either in town or elsewhere,
was $4,000. 1t is proposed to con-
clude at the March meeting all mat
ters relative to the financing, dedi-
eating and opening for use the new
building.
Completed, the building will CON
tain II rooms, including the main
auditorium, the lecture room, four
Sunday school rooms, the young
mems club room, the kitchen, choir,
pastors study, mothers room, and
ladies parlOrs. The room reserved
for the use of young men will have
a beamed ceiling, window seats, fire
place, shower baths, and other need
ed appurtenances: 1t, as we'll as the
entire building, will be open for use
during the entire week. Fourteen
young men, mainly students of the
college, are working on Saturdays
and at other spare times, fixing up
the club rooms.
