Bartenders Win from the BARRIERS

Before a small but appreciative
crowd the bartenders of Leavenworth
showed themselves to be some ball
players last Sunday defeating the bar
bers by a score of 9 to 8. The bar
bers claimed that they had the best
team and would have won the game if
it had not been for Umpire Heidrich.
The batteries for the bartenders were
Blocksedge and Warner and Hum
phries, Mccoy and Mckenzie for the
BARRIERS. Blocksedge who in days gone
by used to twirl for the regulars came
back to his old time form and used the
bean balr' most effectively. Every
one said that Humphries had the ma
kings" Of good ball player even il
he did carry them in his vest pocket.
He only lasted two innings in the box
however on this occasion as the man
agement was short on balls which kept
going further out towards the fence.
Sizing up both teams, we arrive at
the conclusion that they are about ev-
enly matched, but the BARRIERS still
contend thar they have the best lineup
and should have won the last game
and it is very probable that another
battle will take place before the sum-
mer is over.

MOVEMENT TO IMPROVE
FRONT STREET PARK
Manual Training Class in Public School
viii Make Rustic Benches to be
Placed in Park

A movement was set on foot this
week by a number of the public spir-
tied citizens who believe the useful
ness and the beauty Of the towns park
might be enhanced by the cooperation
of the citizens with the town council,
to which end large number were pre-
sent at the council meeting Tuesday
evening but for some reason the ses
sion was adjourned for lack of quorum.
The footway left between the curb
line and the park fence is to be fixed
up by either planking the space or
filling it up with gravel or cinders from
end to end. On the foot way, up
against the fence, benches will be
placed. Walks are to be laid out by
City Engineer Barnum and flower beds
raised in the park. Additional trees
and shrubs will also be set out.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. do
mated all the lumber that may be nee
essary for the benches which the boys
in the manual training class in the
public school have agreed to make.
When Superintendent Moore took the
=
matter up with the boys they entered
enthusiastically into the scheme and
will vie with each other in design and
workmanship of the benches which are
to be placed on the outside OF the
fence.
Then there is another move on foot
to place a row of ornamental cluster
lamp posts along Front street from the
viaduct to the Clifford hotel. The
scheme is to have four cluster light
posts, one at each corner and two in
the center OF the block. The prop
erty owners will agree to erect the posts
if the city will pay for the light. AS
this will do away with the arc lights
now in use it is not believed that the
additional light cost will be enough
TO cause the council to balk at the
exnense

WaterVIlle

The charge that the potato tuber
moth infection has taken a hold on
potato fields OF this state is made by
the Canadian dominion entomologist
in letter to the state department OF
agriculture. Assistant Commissioner
T. o. Morrison, after looking into the
matter, does not believe the charge is
justified by facts.
A commission house in Victoria, B.
c., claimed to have found infected po-
tatoes in a shipment from North Yak
ina. The potatoes were refused and
sent to Seattle. There State Inspector
Rhodes made thorough inspection
and failed to find any trace of tuber
moth, though he is the state expert
on this pest, having inspected and
condemned many carloads of infected
potatoes from California, where tie
pest has gained a strong hold.
Inspector Rhodes gives it as his op-
inion that the Victoria commission
house was overstocked with potatoes
and did not wish to accept the ship
ment. The state department Of agri-
culture is making a further investiga-
ton in the North Yakima district, as
the tuber moth is too serious a matter
10 be dismissed lightly.

Former Resident of LeavenwOrth
Passes Away

A clipping inclosed in letter from
w. H. Hadley gives an account of the
death of Ernest Gates, at Shenandoah,

ployed in the Office OF that company

old time residents OF Leavenworth.
He left here some seven years since
and has since made his home in Mich

HOBOS LOCKED IN BOX CAR
HAVE EXCITING EXPERIENCE
One Man Cuts Artery in Wrist and Al
most SuCCumbs from Loss of
Blood

DR.. Judah had a call the first of the
week from a hobo, who had severed
the main artery in his wrist. The cir
cumstances leading up to the cutting
were unusual, according to the story
told by the tramp and his pal. 1t
seems that the men, who were beating
their way on a freight train, had been
locked in a car by one of the brake
men and as they had no means of
knowing how long their prison SEN
tence was to last, had started in to
carve their way to freedom, using a
jacknife. The fellow using the knife
let it slip in some manner and in so
doing made deep cash in his fore
arm. The flow OF blood was checked
by the tying of necktie around the
arm above the cut, and after an hour
OF so the brakeman's attention was at
tracted. He released the men at Ma
son creek but told them they could
ride no further. An argument fol-
lowed, but when he saw that the man
would have to have medical attention
soon, as he was losing blood very rap
iply he consented to let them ride to
this city. DR.. judah dressed the cut
and sent the man on his way rejoicing,
altho quite weak from the loss of

INTERSTATE TRADE COMMISSION.

AS supplement to the Sherman anti trust law and as an aid to the courts in the carrying out of it's pro- visions the recommendation of Pres ident Wilson in behalf of an interstate trade commission is bound to receive much consideration. It is a fact that must be thoroughly realized if it is given thought, that the courts have sufficient business in the interpretation of law and the giving of advice with out being depended upon for the car- rying out of the details. A commission which would take up such work would be manifest relief since such a body appointed to administer the duties wisely, justly and politically guid- ed by the decisions of the supreme court would act as the same beneficial regulator to big business as the i'm terstate commerce commission does in it's relation to the railroads. As the New York Times says: "The creation of an interstate trade commission ern- powered to give advice. definite guid- ance and information, would be a wholesome act. Such a commission could take cognizance not only of the law, but of the economic aspects of business processes and arrangements which lie beyond the field of the court S Jurisdiction"
 The idea of such a commission is in accordince with the opinion of for mer Attorney General Wickersham who sees 8 field of usefulness and benefit for such a body, both for the relief of the courts. and for the help of business. It is certainly a part of the programme which deserves its share of attention

UNWHoLE EsoME FOOD.

One of the best indications of the need Of proper supervision of great storehouses and cold storage ware houses where quantities of food SUD- plies are kept is revealed by the arrest and conviction of big New York con- cerns which were found with quantities of eggs unfit for human consumption. The fine of $500 which was imposed may not offer an insurmountable ob- stac1e to such practice, but the unde- sirab1e advertising which it carries with it must necessarily have a salu- tary effect. What might have become of such articles of food is impossible to tell, but 1t is certain that con6i- tions were discovered which should not be tolerated. and whatever can be done to overcome them is justifabIe and necessary. It is not to be sup posed that such eggs were being kept for anything but one purpose, which is the same that applies to all stored goods. Not only is it to be inferred that they were intended for the mar ket, but that they were likewise being held for the benefit of high prices.
 It ought not to be necessary to give such warnings to dealers in food pro ducts that only good and wholesome food should be handled, but apparent ly there are instances where it is It is certainly of great importance to the consumer that the alertness of the au- thorities has been manifested, and it should carry it's lesson to each and every other dealer that not only is food fit for consumption demanded but that 1t will be insisted upon. It is a sad commentary upon business meth ods when it has to be enforced through the process of the law. @

THE NEW EXPRESS RATES.

By the new rates for the express companies which have been fixed by the interstate commerce commission to go into effect upon the first of Feb raary, some important changes are made A noticeable drop has been made in the existing rates and be- cause of the competition with the par eel post the rates of these two ser vices are brought into closer rela- ton. That there should be q reduction in the rates has been felt for a long time. but it has been hastened by the manner in which the parcel post has appealed to the public in rendering similar service at a lower cost. There still exists difference in rates be- tween the two great methods of car rying packages with the advantages in favor of one where the small bundles and short distance is concerned while with the larger packages and the long CT distance there are benefits attached to the other, with which of course the fact that such are called for as well as delivered and carry a limited in surance, has to be taken into consid- eration
 By the reduction in rates the ex- press companies are placed in a posi- ton to make logical appeal for bus mess It was a course which was necessary if that service was long to continue attractive in face of the ex- tensions and advantages which have been steadily offered by parcel post. It offers the one basis for expansion and the opportunity for serving the public for a reasonable return. Huge dividends may not be possible, but it certainly opens the avenue for bus mess which will yield a legitimate profit,

SELECTING U. 8. SENATORS.

When the seventeenth amendment was made to the constitution of the United States requiring the election of the United States senators by the peo- pie, it called for the necessary action by each state to make such provision effective ana overcome any conflict which might exist with any state reg ulations. Most of the states wherein the legislatures met took care of any such possible chances of confusion but there were those which either did not meet in time or did not provide for the filing of vacancies in case of death. The result was that the con- stitutional requirement. and the state laws were iii conflict. and it was the adjustment Of this situation which fell 10 the lot of the senate committee on privileges and elections over the sen atorial elections in Maryland and Ala bama.
 In the former state the governor carried out the requirements of the constitution and a new senator was elected by the people. In Alabama the governor insisted upon the right of appointment because the legislature had failed to provide for the contin- gency. When the senate committee declared the action of the former right and that of the latter wrong, and in

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

His hearers" On the contrary, He would not work miracles when that class of people asked for them, but He did His great works because He had compassion on the people" and all through His mighty works is shown His compassionate heart, in cleansing the souls of men from sin and freeing their bodies from disease.
 I cannot agree with the statement that MT. Brown makes that Doctrine was at the basis of the Christian life.'' Jesus Christ said, 'I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life'' T came that life they may have" 'In Him was life, and the life was the lighs of men. He did not say that life was in His teachings, but that life was in Him.
 Third-MT. Brown takes considera- ble space to discuss the question of be- lief and knowledge. Belief has its proper place as the starting point for receiving the word of life, but from that starting point one must go on to knowledge before he will be establish ed in the Truth, and realize that he is on the solid rock, which means to him Salvation.
 MT Brown puts the words into my mouth that I abominate creeds and dogmas and doctrines. This is not correct. These words have their prop CT place. but when they take the place of other and more important things, then they are entirely wrong. do not abominate them.
 MT. Brown makes the assertion that We can never have actual knowledge of such things until we have made the great and final experiment-passed in to the great beyond. and demonstrate to ourselves that that which we be- lieve in is an actual fact" In other words, we cannot have actual knowl- edge until after death.
 Jesus said, And ye shall KNOW the Truth and the Truth shall make you FREE"
 He did not place this beyond the grave, but HERE, and this was the attitude of the Master through all his sayings-that we may KNOW the Truth" Paul repeatedly makes the same statement, T KNOW" Shall we take the Master and the Apostles, or MT Brown as authority?
 In closing, MT. Brown says that it is "apparent that Seeker and I have few premises in common Seeker thinks that we are in agreement on more es- sentiaI points than MT Brown thinks, and that the disagreements are more pertaining to non essentials than to the essentials.
 SEEKER AFTER TRUTH.
