CHFLAN MINISTER TALKS
ON PROHIBITION LAW
Gives Reasons Why He Is Opposed to
Measure That Would Put
Washington Dry
From The News, Chelan, Wash.

From Inc news, Cnelan, NaSn.
Elsewhere in this paper appears an
account OF resolution passed by the
Chelan Ministers Association regard
ing two important liquor issues now
before the people of Chelan. This
resolution was carried with one dissent
ing voice. That voice was mine. In
asmuch as the resolution was carried in
the name Of the Association, and l am
a member OF the Association, but find
myself unable to stand with my breth-
ern on the resolution, I feel that / owe
myself the duty to state my position
clearly.
/. Such an organization as the Che
Ian Ministers Association, voluntary
banding together for the mutual help
fitness and cooperation, cannot be
operated on the caucus principle. That
is to say, the will Of majority cannot
bind the conscience or mind or will of
a single Individual not in agreement
with the majority. I therefore feel
myself in no wise bound by the action
on this resolution.
D.. am first, last, and always a
friend OF true temperance. Any effort
which l believe will hasten or achieve
this end always has had and always will
have my hearty support l suppose
that to this extent am one with the
other members of the association. But
there may be legitimate difference
of opinion as to what methods will
really bring this about or as to whether
any specific proposed method will work
good or harm for the cause Of tenn
perance. 1t is on the subject OF
methods that we disagree.
8. After a careful reading of the
proposed state wide law, I have come
to the conclusion that it is not what it
purports to be-a prohibition measure.
I am unable to see that it prohibits
anything worth prohibiting.
a. do not await perfect temper
ance law. If thought that the pro-
posed law would gain one iota for the
cause OF temperance, it would have my
hearty support. But it is my candid
opinion that if this law goes into effect,
conditions will be worse than they now
are.
With this explanation hope I may
need say no more upon the subject.
Nor is this said with any hope Of pro-
jecting controversy, as that is what,
above all things, l wish to avoid.

HeSperides- What Is It!

The name of our Fair is unique,
and a word OF explanation is proper.
The ancient Greeks believed that at
some place, away in the extreme west,
in the land of the evening star, there
were gardens in which grew perfect
apples. These apples were OF such
great value that they were garded by
a huge dragon which stood eternally
at the gates. The jewellers in the gar
den were a group OF lovely maidens
called "Hesperides," and there they
watched over these golden apples that
the Earth Goddess gave to Hera when
she welded Zeus. Hercules, one of
the NEUROLOGICAL heroes, learned the
location OF the garden, slew the dragon
and gave the apples to the Goddess
Athena to keep for the benefit of man
kind. This story, which, Of course, is
purely NEUROLOGICAL, has many beaut-
full variations and is one of the legends
which seems never to die. We think
it quite appropriate that we should re-
fer to this wonderful North Central
Washington district as the modern gar
den of Hesperides, and it was there
fore decided to call this event the
Fair OF the Hesperides, or for conven-
fence, Fair Hesperides."

$6OO,OOO. THINK OF IT!

The following clipping is going the
rounds in a number of our exchanges
and it bears the ear mark of Port
land booster circular. The Observer
does not believe that Polk County
will vote $600,00000 to build hard
surface roads. 1t does not believe
that the majority of its citizens want
to annex this additional tax. 1t does
not believe ii is good policy to vote
these bonds, and we will bet dollars
to doughnuts that the bonds will not
carry if attempted. We have inter
viewed over one hundred tax payers
and have only found few who were
in favor of this expenditure. The
Observer will oppose this tax,
and we honestly believe that the ma
jority of the tax payers will uphold
us in the effort. The office seeker
who advocates this $600,000.00 had
better put his ear to the ground, and
take hint from the rumblings.
Our taxes are high enough and it
looks like we had all we could take
care of, if the present state admins
tration keep up their record in regard
to useless expenses. Below is the ar
ticle referred to. What do you think
of it, Mr.. tax payer?
The good roads excitement has in
vaded Polk County. The Dallas Com
mercial Club is making an effort to
secure bond issue of not less than
5000, 100000, with which, it is figured,
practically all the cities of the county
can be connected by hard surface
road.

CANAL zones
NEW governor
GOVERNOR COCKTAILS ANcEs-
TRY AND ORIGIN OF NAME
The New York Herald Quotes Au-
thority as to Correct Pronouncia-
tion.

Since G.. w. Goethals has been APP
pointed governor of The Canal Zone
and having made such good record
as engineer of the Panama Canal his
name is used daily in course of con-
versation and great many are at a
loss how to pronounce the
name correctly. The New York Her
aid has the following information in
regard to the matter. 1t says:
The soldier and administrative mil
litary man have been bred in George
Washington Goethals for three gener-
ations. He is claimed now by many
cities and states, but he is "Brook-
lyn boy" although his ancestry is
Swiss, and Of the military Swiss at
that. His grandfather was surgeon
in the French army and was with Ma
poleon at Austerlitz. His own father,
John Goethals, was born in Switzer-
land and moved to Amsterdam in his
early boyhood. In 1848 he came to
this country, making his home in
Brooklyn, where in 1858 Colonel Goe-
thals was born.
The origin of the family name is
interesting. In good Dutch it is the
equivalent of the English "stiff
necked,o and was conferred on the
first of the present line, who was one
Of the Crusaders, by an early King Of
Flanders. This man was fighting side
by side with his king, when foe
struck him a mighty blow. The sword
was turned aside by the armor and the
man kept on fighting. A second blow
was struck, but still the man kept on
fighting before the eyes Of his king,
until the battle was won. After the
conflict the king called the warrior
to his side and commended him for
his prowess.
"Sire,' said the soldier, III break
before | bend"
Henceforth, said the king, thy
name is Goethals, the stiff necked." ["
The name "stuck," and for centuries
the family motto has been, "We
break before we bend"
The canal builder pronounces his
name, "Go-th 'lls," with the accent
on the "go". This pronunciation is
vouched for by Peter G. Macfarlane,
the writer, and by others who know
the colonel personally. According to
Funk & Wagnall's Standard Diction-
ary, the name should be pronounced
"Ger-tuls" with the vowel sound as
in "Goethe. The colonel, however,
appears to prefer the American way,
purists to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. So "Go-th Ills" goes.

POLK COUNTY
WOULD LOSE
MOVEMENT ON FOOT FOR A
PART TO JOIN MARION
A Pipe Dream No Doubt, But Who
Can Tell?

The following pipe dream in the
Salem Journal last week is so silly
that we apologize for reproducing it.
According to Attorney Earnest
Blue, the well-known local booster,
who resides across the river in West
Salem, move is now on foot to an
mex the prosperous little community
over the steel bridge with the capital
city proper Attorney Bluue address
ed members of the commercial club at
the meeting held last night and placed
a proposition before them, which, if
carried out, will eventually result in
West Salem being made part of
this city.
Attorney Blue said that all that
is needed now is an up-to-date bridge
across the Willamette to connect West
Salem with Salem permanently. He
declared that the people of West Sa-
lem are desirous of joining hands
with the city and that in the event
decent bridge is erected between
the two points that they will take
steps to annex themselves with their
big sister across the river. The speak
err condemned the wagon bridge in
terms not at all uncertain. He said
that the bridge is nothing more than
a trembling, tottering mass of steel
and that unless the two counties get
busy within comparatively short
time, the structure will be lying in
the river and ferry boats will have
to be placed in commission in order
to keep the west side of the city in
communication with the east"
Who is the Hon. Earnest Blue? The
poor old bridge has caused so much
worry, and still ID is as good as ever,
regardless of the wise acres who so Of
ten predicted its falling into the Will
lamette river. No doubt those who
want the Pacific highway to come
acros the river from Salem would like
to see amodern bridge not for use, as
much, as to add to the beauty of the
surroundings. We question if the Hon.
Earnest Blue will reach the age of
Methuselah, and he will have to be-
fore his pipe dream comes to real
ization.
