FREIGHT TRAIN ROBBERS
GIVEN SPEEDY JUSTICE
Three Gun Men who Robbed Pal
and Brakeman are Sentenced
in Prosser

In spite of the proverbial laws de-
lay the machinery of justice occas-
ionally works speedily. The three men
who last Thursday night robbed two
men on a freight train near this city
are now serving sentences in the PEN
al institutions of the state.
The three men who gave their names
as VIM. Slavin, Mark Mccoy and
Frank Joseph, plead guilty in super
ior court last Saturday and were SEN
fenced by Judge Linn. Slavin was
given from 5 to 10 years in the peni-
Tertiary at Walla Walla and the other
two Were sentenced to 3 to 5 years in
the state reformatory at Monroe.
The three men, all of whom carried
guns, held up Robert 0'Brien, of Re-
public, Wash, and relieved him Of
S10.65. They also took s2.40 from
Brakeman Smith. The robbery was
reported by local Operator S. A.
Phelps to Special Agent 0verstreet,
of Pasco, who arrested the men in q
Pasco restaurant soon after the train
pulled in. They Were taken to Pros
ser on the next train by N. P. Police
man Tom Diba1l.

"These are some of the urgent rea-
sons why Governor Lister is striving
to avoid discussion of his record in
this campaign and to inject wholly
irrelevant issue into the contest, that
of prohibition. And what right, per-
NIT me to ask, has he to pose now as
the special exponent and advocate of
the 'drys' in this state?
"When Gov. Hay ana the republi-
can party, under his leadership were
fighting the liquor interests in this
state where was the voice of Ernest
Lister? Why, the breweries support
ed Lister against Hay In the last cam
paign, and he not only accepted but
welcomed their support. He said
nothing in his first message to the
nothing on the subject Of liquor 1egis-
lation in his first message to the legis-
lature. When the initiative measure
No. 3, the present prohibition law, was
before the people two years ago, Lis
ter remained so silent that no one
knew whether he was for it or against
when the popular will was apparent
by the vote, he failed to say a word
in his message to the legislature about
No. Is, the hotel bill then initiated to
that body, and which it passed on to
be voted upon this year. Both Is and
"a will be settled by votes of the peo-
pie at the time they choose governor
and the executive kinauguarated next
January will have nothing to do with
that question, as it will be settled be-
fore he assumes his duties.
"Gov. Mcbride has declared his op-
position to initiative measures Is and
"a and promises that he will strictly
enforce the prohibition law and oppose
any weakening of that law. Gov. Nc
Bride was governor once before, and
the people know that his word is new
er broken. He has always made good.
His administration was one of econ
omy and constructive achievement and
notable for the manly and courageous
fight he made against the railroad lob
by and other corrupting influences in
state politics. His fight was respon-
sible for the creation of the tax com.
mission and the regulative railroad
commission. He kept every promise
that he made. Lister has broken every
pledge he has given. That is the con-
trast, and that is why Henry Mcbride
will be elected the next governor of
this state"

THE WET CHARGE

knew of his condition, got together,
raised the money and paid it off. He
also admits that his appointees are
assisting in defraying his present
campaign expenses, but insists that
the assessment is purely voluntary.
An intimation to a trusted lieutenant
that the governor was in mood to
accept donations from his appointees
would be equivalent to a direct re-
quest. In any event, his appointees
were subjected to double voluntary
assessment; one to pay off the $4,000
obligation referred to and the other to
help defray his present campaign ex-
penses. Being under this double OBJ
legation to his appointees, the question
naturally arises, in what position is
he to exact from them strict and
faithful performance of their duties
to the state.
Lumber Business Bad
"The governors naive confession
that he would not have been compelled
to resort to this voluntary assessment
of his appointees if the lumber bust
ness, in which he was engaged, had
been good, is one of the strongest ar
guments in favor Of a protective tar
lift and against the Underwood bill
that has been advanced during this
campaign. 1t even surpasses Senator
Turner's famous statement, wrung
from him by the hope of republican
support that he was in favor Of pro-
tective tariff upon lumber and shingles
and other products Of the state of
Washington"

ON DEMOCRATS

the American people as a campaign
slogan used as a reason for the cleo
ton of president.
"The people of Washington have
had more than enough of democratic
times and democratic extravagances
and incapacity and are demanding a
change in no uncertain tones.
Listers Promises
"The futile promises and false pre-
lenses of the state administration
have been exploded, and the people
have been fully undeceived regarding
the pretensions of Governor Lister.
His campaign promise of four years
ago to save $2,OOO,O0O annually was
ridiculous in the first place, and in
the face of enormous increase in the
cost of state government during the
last four years and of the total appro-
Iriaticns approved by him, he is con-
victed of insincerity on that Issue. He
has claimed to have saved the taXpay-
ers millions, and yet the records show
that dun ing his term the taxpayers
have been called upon to contribute
owe. eleven millions of dollars more

every Office Of Importance, and most
of the minor positions undcr him with
active democratic partizans, choosing
them, not because of their fitress for
the positions, but because Of service
rendered to the party and to himself.
The record of incompetence, failure
and scandal that has discreditcd his
administration proves this contention.
The hsad of the agricultural depart
ment failed to make good and he was
forced to let him go. After three
years of costly experiment he was
forced to let his highway commission
er go, who vas appointed in the first
place against the protest of good
roads experts. And not least, the en-
tire industrial insurance commission
was compelled to resign under fire fol-
lowing the exposure Of scandalous
looting of the funds entrusted to their
supervision. These things happened
because the appointments were par
tisan and not made for competency in
the first place. and also because the
governor failed to keep another cam
paign promise that he would stay on
the Job and attend strictly to business
of the state.

20 months of his administration, from
April 1913, to September 1914, he av-

miles during that time at state ex-

ments and anything but the serious

What is the chief reason for the superb

There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream Of tartar, which comes from
