Patriotism of the Amer can People Needs to
 Be Revived By GEORGE NJ GRAHAM. Editos -rE And Writes


 THERE are not enough real pa
 triots in America. Our people
 are all right at heart, but they are slow to rise when danger threat ems. It takes something imminent to arouse their patriotism. What we lack is leadership.
 WHAT WE NEED IS SOME ONE TO STIR US UP so THAT IT CAN NOT BE SAID THAT THE PLAIN AMERICAN HAS NO PATRIOTISM, oR-IF NE HAs. IT-Is DORMANT.
 The patriotism of the plain American is absolutely negative at the present time. It is our obliga- tion to hand down to posterity the country, which our forefatherS fought and bled for. The plain American does not rise to the ulti- mate of his obligation. Only our leaders do. ?. ra-.' -
 We must teach this country of ours real live, devoted patriotism, & patriotism as devoted as that of the mother for her child. :- ga veroatfio.,

BRAINS VERSUS MONEY
SAYS WOMEN DEMOCRATS
WOman's Bureau Bulletin Declares
That Wilson Has Accomplished
Things For People.

CHICAGO-Blazoning the social re-
form record of President Wilson and
the Democratic congress just adjourn
ed against the veto record Of Charles
Evans Hughes during his term as gov
ernor Of New York, says the latest bull
letin of the womans bureau Of the
Democratic national committee, the
woman's bureau has prepared to COM
bat the millions of dollars which Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney, Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Daniel Guggen-
heoim of New York will represent on
the special train on which they will
tour the west, by sending broadcast
the testimony Of Miss Ida Tarbell, the
greatest woman publicist in the coun-
try, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, former SUI
perintendent of schools of Chicago and
eminent educator, Mrs. Belva Lock-
wood leader of the peace party and
only woman ever on a ticket as can
didate for president of the United
States, Mrs. Antoinette Funk, former
leader Of the Illinois progressives, and
scores of other famous public-spirited
women who have broken away from
party ties or non-partisan silence TO
declare themselves for Woodrow Will
son.
"The Democratic party is funda-
mentally opposed to the British rot
tenborough methods adopted by the
congressional union in campaigning in
the suffrage states" Mrs. George Bass,
chairman of the woman's bureau, de-
clared. "The campaign which the wo-
mans bureau is directing is leaving
the conduct Of local affairs absolutely
to the local leaders. We are merely
aiding them by counsel, by literature,
and by publicity. We will hold con-
ferences of the state organization
chairmen, but we will send out no
flying column, no special trains, no
multimillionaire spectacles for the en-
lightenment of western women voters.
We are perfectly willing to trust our
cause to the intelligence of the women
who will vote at the November cleo
ton.
Woodrow Wilson kept peace with
honor, and because women know and
pay the ultimate cost of war, they are
grateful to him.
"They know that Woodrow Wilson
brought about the passage Of the child
labor law, and because women know
what millions of children in industrial
servitude have endured, they are
grateful to him.

country a prosperity that has not beer

"Seeing Washington

The school boys and girls, bless
them, are arriving in Washington by
the trainload, availing themselves Of
the annual custom to visit the National
Capital. Perhaps there is no city in
the country, not excepting New York,
that entertains as many strangers daily
as Washington. The railroads this year
are offering exceptionally low excur-
sion rates, enabling school children to
come for distances of several hundred
miles for a few dollars. Inasmuch as
congress is in session the young peo-
pie are enjoying everv opportunity to
witness the manner in which the coun-
try is managed. Every person should
visit Washington at least once; and the
that they receive from the
visit is sure to make them feel that
they are better and more patriotic

S1.50 Per Year
Moves to Brewster

E. A. Wood has moved to a new To-
cation. The Pateros Reporter of last
week says:
E. A. Woods, who has been operat-
ing a pool room and confectionery
store in this city for some time, COM
menced to move his tables and stock
to Brewster today. Mr.. Wood always
conducted a good clean place, place
that would be credit to any city and
we are sorry to see him leave Pateros,
but wish him success in his new loca-
tion. We believe an effort should have
been made to keep Mr.. Wood in this
city. 1t takes business houses to make
a city and every business house we
lose means a backset to the commu-
nity."
Mr.. Wood left here about year ago
for the upper country and evidently
concluded Brewster was the coming
town.

Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Brown, resid-

Noah and Geo. Brown and Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Robertson, celebrated the
85th birthday Of Mrs. Brown last Tues
day. Mrs. Brown is strong and supple
for a woman Of her age. She neither
wears glasses nor walks with cane,
and with the exception Of small
growth on her face that has been there
for forty-two years, is in excellent
health. She is five months and five
days older than her husband. They
have been married 81 years. They
were born at New Albany, Indiana,
and lived there until 1878, when they
came to Vancouver, Wash, living
there until they moved to Wenatchee
in 1901.
Dude Brown, of Leavenworth, is a
grandson of the aged couple.

and he has the Panama canal open to
traffic. The waterway has virtually
been closed for seven months, during

such task as the building Of the Pan

There have been some attempts at
Washington to stir up trouble for Col

the efforts in this direction appeared
to eminate from rival interests engaged

TOURIST TRADE AND TRAVEL
CAN BE MADE PROFITABLE
Northwest Has Valuable Asset in This
Line While War LastS-What Are
We Doing to Get Our Share

The globe-trotting army will soon be
on the move. The great war has
diverted the stream that flows across
the Atlantic every year, leaving a half
billion dollars with the thrifty denizens
of that effete land. As the weather
gets warmer and the days longer the
globe-trotter gets ready for trip some
where. If he cannot go to Europe he
does the next best thing a
tourist guide for some place on the
North American continent that he has
not seen that seems to offer induce
ment and attraction for his tagged
spirit. While the attractions that the
northwest has to offer are different in
that they are the works of nature, while
the wonders of Europe are largely the
works of man, they should not be one
whit less interesting.
Right here it is pertinent to inquire,
what are we doing to catch the eye and
enlist the interest of this large class Of
pleasure seekers? Right here in Wash
ington we have lakes that equal, if
they do not surpass, any of the Euro
pean lakes. We have glaciers beside
which the Alpine ice beds are small
affairs. We have mineral springs whose
curative waters equal anything Austria
can offer the rundown man from the
city. We can beat Europe on natural
wonders hands down. They have moth
ing to equal the wonders of the Yellow
stone. For the temples and monu-
ments of Egypt we have to offer the
wonderful cave dwellings of Arizona
and New Mexico, the ruins Of Aztecs,
Toltecs, and the still more ancient
ruins of the Maya race. But what we
are more particularly interested in is
the attractions of Washington for the
man who wants diversion. Chelan
county itself is no slouch when it
comes to scenery, fishing, hunting and
mountain climbing.
What are we doing to arrest the at
tention and get the money Of the pleas
ure seeker7 Nothing. And why2
Simply because no one has taken up
the question. Here is golden oppor-
tunity for the Wenatchee commercial
