questions he has stood with the repub-
lican members. His abandonment of
the party was not an abandonment of
the principles of the republican par
ty so much as it was dissatisfaction
with its leadership, leadership which
carried it to most disastrous defeat at
the hands of the voters in 1912.
About three million republican voters
registered their protest against the
methods adopted to nominate w, H,
Taft. That there was a decidedly re-
spectacle number of progressive repub-
licans in 1912 we do not think anyone
will deny. The republican party hav
ing purified itself in some measure,
and the democratic party having shown
its lack OF capacity to administer the
affairs of government to the satisfac-
ton Of the voters, after a two years
trial, the progressive voters will again
align themselves with the party that
once saved the union from disruption.

LeayenwOrth Citizen HOnOred

By the action of the fruitgrowers at
Wenatchee Tuesday our fellow towns
man, ]. B. Adams. becomes the re-
sponsible head of the Fruitgrowers
League, an organization embracing the
growers Of Chelan, Okanogan, Douglas
and Grant counties. The league is
part of a larger organization including
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, which
was formed in Seattle the past winter
with the end in view Of bringing order
out Of a chaotic condition into which
the fruit industry had fallen. w. H.
Paulhamus Of Puyallup is at the head
of the larger organization. The district
under the management Of Mr.. Adams,
embracing the Wenatchee valley, which
alone will market this year upwards OIL
5000 carloads Of apples, produces the
highest grade of apples raised in the
United States. Being placed at the
head of the league, with sole power tc
act on his own judment, was an honor
that came to Mr.. Adams wholly with.
out solicitation, we are told. In ac.
cepting it he has assumed great respon.
sibility. The success he has made Of
his private affairs encourages US to be-
lieve that he will succeed in this larger
undertaking. A deal has already been
closed with Seattle banks to advance
a half million dollars, if so much shall
be needed, to carry out the financial
obligations of the league. Mr.. Adams
left here yesterday for Wenatchee,
where he will meet Mr.. Paulhamus and
together they will spend today and to-
morrow in visiting the growers of the
Okanogan country which, next to Che
Ian county, is the largest producer in
the league, and perfect the organiza-
ton there.

Neighbors who saw the blaze soon got

age.
While M. w. Stark and ]. A. Warner
were returning from Wenatchee late
Monday evening their car failed on the
steep grade near the Capt. Gray ranch.
Mr.. Warner got out to start the motor
when the brakes refused to hold and
the car with Mr. Stark, who was driving,
rolled back over the bank, turning
completely over. Mr.. Stark was badly
bruised and scratched, but will be out
again in a few days.

10 70 Voters No Bosses Need Apply

The republicans who are making
such a violent and senseless protest
against the return OF Miles Poindexter
to the republican party belong to that
same reckless bunch of political high
binders who dragged Judge Thomas
Burke into the senatorial race in 1912
as the candidate of the republican
party for United States senator. Mr.
Burke had been a consistent and per
sistent democrat before Booth assassin
ated Lincoln, and never did announce
his conversion to republican principles
and yet the republican party, assisted
bv certain newspapers of dollar-ma
politics, grew red in the face and vel
low in oratory trying to convince the
voters they should prefer Mr.. Burke tc
Mr.. Poindexter for United States sena-
tor in 1912. That ill-starred blundel
still hangs over the old standpat bunch
like nightmare. 1t should profit Mr..
Poindexter's opponents to recall the
vote in Judge Burke's home precinct
in 1912. The return to the same old
high-handed tactics in the recently ad-
iourned legislature, passing a law to
make the voter swear how he is going
to vote before he casts his ballot, will
give every republican cause for serious
thought. The last past three elections
should convince the highbinders that a
large number of voters no longer follow
their leaders blindly. The crack of the
party whip has lost its terror. The
voters have learned that he who always
shouts, THE party, right or wrong.
The party is the thing if you want an
office!' is an unsafe and selfish leader.
If elected his eyes are focused on the
dollar mark.

The Irritation of the Seasons

For the past week naughty old winter
has been flirting with spring in this
particular part of the universe. Cloudy
mornings and cooler nights have been
followed by intervening sunny summer
days and starry nights. White haired
and drowsy old winter hied him to
the regions of the north as if about to
begin his long summer nap. AS the
stern god Of the frozen north retreated
he blew threatening challenge to the
radiant maiden rising from dip in the
southern seas. The vernal coquet all
but fell for the old sinner wiles. Morn
ing after morning she paraded her sea-
sonal charms before a waiting and
Weakening world. Lightly and daintily
draped in the rosey mist of the
morning. Star crowned and radiant
with the first blush Of dawn. Her
golden train, lighter than the breath OF
angels, followed her wake. She was
such holy and heavenly picture Of
surprising beauty no wonder old win
ter was beguiled, rubbed his eyes,
shook his white beard and half decided
to come back. In the evening the
fair goddess sent an answering chal-
lenge by a shooting star, having found
her affinity in the rising sap, the open
ing bud, the blooming flower and the
laughter of children

Senator POindexter Announces Himself
Republican

We note from news items in the
daily press that the junior United
States senator from Washington, Hon.
Miles Poindexter, has announced his
return to the republican party. 1t will
be remembered that he took an active
part in the organization Of the progres
sive party some years ago, along with
a lot more Of US who were dissatisfied
with the leadership at that time, and
who, as everyone recalls, all but
wrecked the party Of Lincoln and
and Grant. That he will seek re-
election to his present position he has
announced in the daily press. His
record in the senate is clean. On most

STATE CAPITAL NEWS

1t appears probable that a general
fund tax levy as low as IL or 1.55
mills may be sufficient this year, de-
pending upon the total assessed valua-
ton of the state. This would make the
total state levy only 7.12 or I'll mills
as compared with 8.07 mills in 1914
and 8.8o mills in 1918. The two items
of economical state administration and
reduced general fund appropriations by
the recent Legislature will make this re-
duction possible. General fund ap-
propriations of the Legislature totalled
Sc, o50,o1163, after items vetoed by
Governor Lister are deducted. State
taxes levied last year and now being
paid total S2,553,358, while estimates
of various state departments are that
their collections during the present
biennium will total $2,7o6,750 more,
making a total of SIS, 350,108 already
in sight toward meeting Legislative APP
preparations. This would leave approx
mately 100000 to be raised by
general fund taxes this year. II the
assessed valuation of the state is in
creased somewhat a levy Of ~ mills
would raise this amount, while 1.55
mills would raise this amount on the
present assessed valuation.
