Clarence Hanford returned Mon
day to his Seattle home. Mr..
Hanford believes that the present
managers Of the old Hanford COM
pany are attempting to change the
contract in the matter of service of
water. Under the terms of the
contract the water can be used at
such times and in such quantities
as he sees fit, so long as he does
not exceed the allowance of so
inches during the irrigation season
from April LIST to November LIST,
but the present management are
insisting that he use the allowance
in a continuous flow.
4 Mr.. Hartford intimated that the
matter might get into the courts.
M. M. Moulton of Kennewick
was in the valley Monday, attend
ing to legal matters. Mr.. Moulton
says he has been unable to get any
direct word from the Public Ser

water case or the Power case, al
though he had learned indirectly
that the commission had entered an
order suspending the collection of
the 1916 maintenance charge in
he Hanford case, for ninety days.
Mr.. Moulton was accompanied by
Mrs. Moulton, who visited relatives
while here.

WALSH AND VINCENT

WALSH AND VINCENT.-Even 1
who have always been a majority rule
Socialist can see that Walsh takes up
Vincent wrongly. Walsh uses the
word free" as if it meant freedom
to invade" Vincent never has con-
tended for absolute liberty" but al
ways for equal liberty" A leper
has some rights. Restraining a leper
by force in the interest of equal free
dom would not be rule" at all as
Vincent defined it. To leave a Ieper
at large-if leprosy is contagious (of
which I have very grave doubts
would be to be ruled or invaded by
the leper. Full freedom for non-lep-
erOUs or nOn-invasive individuals
could not be objected too despite
Walsh's faulty logic,
The same mistake in logic is made
by Walsh in his failure to recognize
the difference between cooperation
that is subject only to the cOmpUl-
sion of natural laws, which Vincent
very properly calls voluntary or
free" cooperation, as compared
with that type of cooperation which
is the result of artificial invasive
compUlsiOn.

SOCIALISM AND PROHIBITION.
"A. H. Sinons' reason for the loss
of so many votes to the Socialist
party are to my mind just opposite
to the reasons A great part of the
Socialist party are Germans; they
are also liberal people, and no one
could expect them to want their rel
atives and countrymen defeated
in the great war. They prefer
Prussian militarism to English,
French or Russian militarism natu-
rally.
And about the Socialist party not
taking part in the prohibition cause,
Simons should not worry, as many of
the Socialists do take an active part
against liquor, One of the~few So
ciahst aldermen that the party has
elected had to be instructed by the
party in convention not to take sides,
and he has obeyed. But, privately,
he has debated with other Socialists
and is about to debate the question
with a Ifon-Socialist, taking the af-
frmatiVe on prohibition. He is en-
titled to his opinion and justified in
expressing it, but there is no doubt
in my mind that taking the conserva-
tive stand that so many Socialists
take at this time has driven a great
number out of the party. Haywood,
Jack London and many other less
notable members left the party for
the I. w. w. and other revolutionary
bodies.
A government should be organized
for the happiness of its members. A
majority should not rule unless for
the weI-being of its members. A
majority should rule only on things
that affect them. SeIfshness is the
only justification for majority rule. A

BIG TRAP SHOOTING
 CONTEST PLANNED
American Handicap Tournament
 to Be Held in St. Louis

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 17.-The Inter- state Trapshooting associations sev- enteenth grand American handicap tournament is to be held at St. Louis under the aupices of the St. Louis TrapshOoters' association August 21 to 25.
 The entries in the main events closed August 5. At that time 561 entries were listed, and those arriving from the far western state have since swelled the total to more than six hun dred
 In addition to this, the usual large number of penalty entries have been received. It is expected almost 700 shooters will take part in the con- tests. The attendance promises to eclipse that at Dayton, O., in 1913 and 1914 and will be near the mark set at the record breaker at Chicago last year.
 St. Louis is prepared to handle the tournament. The park of the St. Louis Trapsh OOters' association is con- sidered among the best in the country The grounds are fitted with permanent buildings and all modern equipment
 James w. Bell, president of the St. Louis association. conducted three grand American handicap tourna- ments at Indiana polls, Ind, in 1904 05-06, and sportsmen feel confident he will bring the meet to a successful close in St. Louis.
 In addition to the handicap event, state champions will be here to com pete in the national championship. For the first time in the history of the event, women will be eligible to take part in the special and handicap matches. This appears to have added considerable interest and enthusiasm.
 Other events will include the St. Louis introductory, Mound City over ture, preliminry handicap, consolation handicap, double target championship and a special match for professionals.
