A man who has spent much time in
the vicinity OF Peshastin this fall tells
US that a considerable number OF stran-
gers have made their appearance about
that favored fruit growing section Of
the Wenatchee valley making inquiries
about land values. No deals have yet
been closed but the inquiry indicates
that fruit land in the Upper Wenatchee
Valley is considered a desirable invest
ment. The Upper Wenatchee Valley
apples command on an average FIVE
cents per box more than the same va

Caran1a Government Recognized

At last our government has done
what a great many well posted poll
ticians thought should have been done
year ago, recognize the Carsnza gov
eminent in Mexico. Last summer We
sent lot Of war vessels TO Vera Cruz
loaded with marines, and took posses
sion Of that Strategic Mexican strong
hold at cost Of some hundreds Of
lives and considerable treasure, all TO
no purpose in the end. Before We es-
tablished order and government We
marched out again. Before We went
there Caranza and Villa we're contend
ing for supremacy. When We marched
out things were in just about the same
condition. We accomplished nothing
and made something Of laughing
stock Of ourselves before the world.
Our government seems not to have
had any we'll defined policy or theory
Of establishing peace in distracted and
war torn Mexico. The Mexican policy
seems to have been the one weak,
yacillating incident connected with the
Wilson administration. That it is open
TO severe criticism no one questions,
and yet the opposition press RETAINED
from making the most Of it. For this
it deserves great credit. From patri-
otto motives, no doubt, having in
mind the greater calamity, the posi-
bility Of ENHANCEMENT in the European
war, the press generally RETAINED from
embarrassing the administration with
criticism Of a comparatively minor in
cident.

The Dutch editor, commenting on
the execution OF Miss Cayell, said the
Germans had no appreciation of the

Of the Germans in the United States
who approved, or at least condoned
every act OF the fatherland, condemned
the execution OF the woman.

Nay, L vas often done. Il bas not

der 10 The ea1ly conflicts with the North

the hear Of the unt1tored saysge. In
4 comparatively short time the Indian
leaned that ganpowder was an inyen-
ton Of nan.
The discovery Of one destructive
agent has always been followed By the
discovery Of another more powerful, and
the end Is not Jet. Otherwise, the in
yention Of destructive engine Of war
has been followed By the invention Of
another that made the former impo-
tent-ugeless.
The conclusion cannot be escaped
that Germany entered into this war with
the idea that It was possible 70 put Ger
man terror into the heart Of her enc
mics. By making war swift, relentless
and terrible It was her intention to cap
ture Paris in thirty days and thus pat
the fear Of Germany in the heart Of all
Europe. By the use Of larger guns,
more powerful explosives and death
dealing poisonous gases, and the use
Of other hitherto unknown methods Of
destroying an enemy she came per
ilously near accomplishing her first OBJ
ject. BY the use Of the submarine, in
vented By an American, but perfected
and made practicable by German, she
intended to destroy all sea commerce
and deter ali nayigatorg from yentunng
from shore. By the use Of the Zeppe-
lin, destroying homes and families, it
was her openly declared purpose to put
the fear Of Germany in the hearts OF
the stay-at-homes, so they would bring
pressure TO bear on the government
and sue for peace.
The execution Of the English nurse,
Miss Edith Cayell, on the night Of Oc-
tober 11-not because she was spy,
which according to the Law Of nations
is an offense punishable by death, but
because she had aided English, French
and Belgian soldiers to escape-was
justified by Herr Zimmerman, under
secretary Tor foreign affairs, because it
was necessary to irighten others from
doing what Miss Edith Cavell did.
Will this really Tighten others from do
ing Just what Miss Cavell did, Ger
tainly not, Others, willing to match
their wits against the Germans who
caught Miss Cavell, will undertake what
she was charged with doing, in the be-
lief that they can outwit the Germans.
Not giving them credit for supernatural
aid, they will enter into the hazardous
enterprise in the belief that they can
outwit the Germans. The employment
Of tenorizing methods in this age is Of
little, or really, no use. The Zeppelin
raids on London, instead Of teuorizing
the people, only engages them. Makes
them more determined to fight to the
bitter end-increases the enlistments
for war.

bered by Frederick H. Norton. In his carly boyhood his fathers family lived for some time at the home of Mrs. Hart. Her gife was not in the form of fund, but a gift outright of $500 for repairing the meeting house, and a second 500 for the same purpose, CM condition that the society should raise an equal amount. By this means the belfry tower was added to the meeting house, and extensive changes were made in the interior, in 1887. She lived to reach the age of one hundred and one years, two months end sixteen days. She died January 15, 1S44. The next two names in our group of benefactors are found upon our church roll in the same year, 1S36. They are Fanny Scovil and Eliza Dickinson.
 The largest legacy ever received by the Kensington church or society was from Jonathan T. Hart. The name Jf nathan was dOuu>'css given in re- me1nbrancc Of his grandfathers Lro"her, Major Jonathan Hart, who Is sa1d by Andrews to have been in some respects the most distinguished

She was the Ge ughter of Pastor Royal Robbins. 4 the age of seventeen she became a teacher and a governess She was a. V oman of culture and refinement, and {. very spiritual Christian. She was frail and delicate in appearance, but full of energy. In later years she was very deaf, always carried an ear trum- pet and sat in the front seat at q urcl-. She was generous and thoughtful for the welfare of others'' poem by Miss Robbins was read, entitled "HeavenWard.' The poem follows:

 With feet too prone to stray,
 And from Thee rove;
 Give me Thy hand to see, That thus my walk may be Closer, my Lord with Thee,
 Closer with Thee.

 Some shadow fall,
 And dread, or danger cen,
 This heart appal;
 My earnest prayer shall be- In pity hear Thou me, More faith, my Lord in Thee,
 More faith in Thee.
 When OCT my spirit-life
 A dullness steals,
 Or inward pain and strife
 Sad guilt reveals;
 Humbly, on pended knee, Forglveness, full and free, ask, my Lord, of Thee,

 'All this growth and progress was made in the time of the very sharpest kind of competition, for in those days there were no trusts. It was, every man for himself, and several were in the same line of business. The late Philip Corbin, North & Judd, Russell & Erwin, Peck, Stow & Wilcox of East Berlin and Southington, J. B. Sargent, New Haven and the J. T. Hart Mfg. Co.,, Kensington, were all competing for the same trade.
 "Now it would seem to be the irony of fate that after building up this great business, he would live to see it he could not control. MT. Hart looked business and it has been said, if the selling end had been as we'll man. aged as the manufacturing end,' there would have been no failure. But here again we see the man. When the des- patch came from the main office in New York, that the company had failed, he jumped into his buggy and rushed down to the station, where the teams were unloading iron, turned them back and ordered them to put every pound of iron back on the car.'

"REMINISCENCES WE'RE GIVEN

The Kensington Congregational church passed the 203rd milestone of it's organization yesterday. In order to celebrate this event a special pro- gram was arranged and carried out last evening. A supper was served in the parlors of the church at 6:30 o'clock and afterward the meeting ad- journed to the main auditorium, where exercises, which consisted of personal "reminiscences and sketches of mem bers of former generation, were de- 1ivered by members oft he present day, The meeting opend with the singing of the Robbins Anniversary hymn Rev. Carleton HaZen, the pastor, acted as chairman and in introduction spoke as follows:
 Address by Rev. Carleton Hazcn.
 ..In Rev. 14-13 we read: And I heard a voice from Heaven saying: Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea ssith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.'
 "On this day, in commemoration of the founding of this church, it is fit ting that we call to remembrance some of a former generation who rest from their labors, whose works fol- low them. As the earliest period ha1 been pretty thoroughly studied ana published in the two hundredth ann- yersary memorial there has been suggested for remembrance today group of persons, who by gifts or legacies have contributed to the ma terial welfare of the church. By singling out this group we 60 not by any means expect it to be inferred that material gifts are esteemed moro highly than personal service. A year ago the pastor contributed a sketch of Nathaniel BrOnSin, who left to the church in 1911 a legacy O@ s33.33, for a communion fund wE:c'' --~3 the nucleus of the oldest fund n the church treasury. That Gec rlc now a small gift, but it has multiplied itself until it has been the source Of larger blessings for later generations. The inventory of the estate of the testa- tor indicates that he lived in primitive simplicity His personal estate was very meager, and the legacy was paid by sale of land. No one could be found who had the slightest personal source of that fund had been for gotten.

Manufacturing Criminals

"The greatest crime in the United
States is the wholesale manufacture of
criminals" says Henry b. Hyde in
in the Chicago Tribune, writing of the
great number of useless laws passed
by state legislatures and city councils
each year. And to support his in
dictment Mr. Hyde marshals an array
Of facts which fiction cannot match.
Commenting editorially on Mr..
Hyde's charges, the Tribune says:
obviously, what Mr.. Hyde calls the
wholesale manufacture of criminals" is
one of the unexpected results of our
uncritical reliance upon legislation as
a cure-all. When the American sees
anything he doesn't like, his first i'm
pulse is to pass a law against it. If
there are no statutes against gravita-
tion enacted at the vociferous behest
Of Americans who have slipped up on
a winters day, it is an oversight that
will be corrected in due time
This is an American failing which
is often commented on. Less often do
we ponder the moral phase of the
American habit of passing laws.
Undoubtedly we have been passing
through a period of acute social self
consciousness. Many things which
were ignored by our fathers we un-
derstand or think we understand the
evil of, and in attempting to express
our new sense of responsibility and
correct the newly discovered faults by
our favorite method of law making we
have not only far outstripped our ca
pacity for the more difficult task of
administration, but we have developed
taste for correcting what seem to be
our neighbors errors which bids fair
in turn to include everything from
his choice of neckties to his religious
creed.
"This taste for censorship is not
discriminating. What seems to the
great mass of a given community as
at worst harmless or inconsiderable
seems to some moral specialists helm
Gus and deeply demoralizing. In no
country of the world today, we believe
are there so many good people who
happen to be passionately energized

An Ominous Item

Many of our readers have seen, no
doubt, in the metropolitan newspapers
the daily syndicated articles on finan-
cial topics which are signed Holland
These articles are authentic in every
particular; and it is, therefore, of in
terest to note this paragraph from
one of Hollands" latest letters:
There is one curious, perhaps ON
nous, certainly highly suggestive item
in the official report which tells Of our
foreign trade since September l of
last year. In the year 1914 the money
value OF our imports was greater than
the like value of imports of any other
year. 1t almost reached the two bill
lion dollar mark. There has been an
almost cyclonic change in this respect
in the past twelve months. The COM
modities which other nations sold to
US in 1914 so greatly as to make a
new record, were brought here
through the operation of the new tar
iff law"

economic fact. Just now the tendency
is to hurrah about our tremendous ex-
port business, caused by the war; and
.t are IN danger Of forgetting the
tremendous flood of imports which we
had before the war diminished them,
which threw so many Of our workmen
out of employment, and which will
come again when the war is over
unless we do something to prevent it.
These import statistics of nearly
two billions a year arose, as Holland"
says, through operation of the new
tariff law" They were checked, in
part only, by the war. If they are
not to be repeated, "the new tariff
law" must be repealed and a protec-
tive tariff substituted for it. 1t is
useless to expect the democrats to
make this substitution, and If the
"ominous item" is not to grow even
more ominous a republican congress
and a republican president must be
elected next year.
