THINGS TALKED ABOUT IN
THE NATIONS CAPITAL
SHALL RECONSTRUCTIvE LEGIs-
LATION BE NON-PARTISAN?-
SOME PROPOSED C0NSTRUC-
TIVE LEGISLATION.
FURTHER USURPATION.

Washington, Oct. 22-(Special cor
respondence) Representative Nicho-
las J. Sinnott of Oregon is up in arms
over a recent decision of the Capital
Issues committee denying an irriga-
ton district in his state the privilege
of issuing s75O00O worth of bonds to
aid in irrigation work. The congress
man has taken the matter up with the
committee and asked them to point
out a provision in the law giving
them the right to regulate the action
of municipal corporation, which the
irrigation district is. The reply was
that it was the spirit" of the act.
The law comforting powers upon the
Capital Issues committee reads in
part as follows: "The committee may
pass upon and determine whether it
is compatible with the national inter
ests that there should be sold securi-
ties hereafter by any person, firm,
corporation, or association, etc" Mr..
Sinnott declares that every lawyer
knows that the word Corporation" as
used in the act does not include muni
cipal subdivisions. Members of the
WAYS and Means committee who con
sidered the bill when it was in the
House assure him that the matter
came up for discussion in the com
niittee, and it was understood, by
them and by Mr. McAdoo that the
government would not have control
over the securities of states or sub
divisions.
But with the clear language of the
law and the expressed intention of
its framer before them, the members
of the Capital Issues committee un-
dertake to supervise issues of muni-
cipal bonds because they declare it
to be the spirit of the act"
While the usurpation of power IN
this instance may not affect the wei
fare of the nation as a whole, never
theless it forms a precedent that is
dangerous in the extreme. Nobody
will deny that it is the "spirit" of
congress to bring about prompt and
decisive winning of the war, but that
spirit finds expression in legislation
the limitations of which are carefully
fixed before it is laid before the presi-
dent for signature. It is not within
the province of executive subordin-
ates to write words into the acts of
congress any more than it is to enact
laws of their own, following their
conception of what congress should do.
Congressman Sinnott has performed
real service in calling attention to
this abuse of power, and impressing
upon his associates in the house the
necessity of the most careful wording
of legislation in order that loopholes
may not be left for further extern
sion of executive authority.

.STO LATE"

In every chapter and on almost
every page of the history of our par
ticipation in this war there will be
written the words, "too late" On
October 8, after we had been in the
war seventeen months the shipping
board announced that in an effort to
speed up the loading and unloading
of ships, American manufacturers
have been invited to make a careful
study of our entire port situation to
the end that possible new and ingen-
ious methods of handling cargo and
coal may be developed. Just think
of all the time lost by experimenting
with Denman and others before a
real constructor was given a chance.
In October, 1918, the study of the
problem of loading and unloading
ships is begun. And the democratic
national committee asserts in its cam
paign handbook that the war is being
conducted efficiently.

AMERICANS.

After the blood and thunder, revo-
lutions, abductions, drives and all the
horrors of war are ended we ought
to be glad to settle down to hard
work at moderate pay, and live SEN
sible and sane lives. By the time the
soldiers are all back home, this coun-
try should have lost any remnant of
taste for the long-haired orator and
agitator, for the red, radical, the boil
shevik, the I. w. W. and such like.
Most people experience bad taste
when they think of them now. The
chances are pretty good that this is
going to be a more American coun-
try after the war, and many of these
alien citizens will be given tickets
back home.

BROKE INTO HOUSE; IS CAUGHT

Last Tuesday night, between 7:30
and p. m. Harry Krollpfeiffer had
occasion to go into the X. & V. B.
Hardware store and wanting some
thing in the warehouse, just back of
the store, he turned on the electric
light. He heard some iron rattle, and
looking in the direction from which
the sound came saw the feet of a man
protruding from under a work bench.
He told the man to come out and asked
him what he was doing there. Not
giving a satisfactory answer he held
him and phoned for the city marshal
who placed the man in Jail. An ex-
animation showed where he pried a
board off the warehouse. Further
examination also showed that he had
used some kind of iron to pry up a
window leading into the store. The
next morning Mr.. Krollpfeiffer lodged
a charge of house breaking against
the n, and the following day he
wa taken to Wenatchee and placed
in the county jail to await trial. His
name, if he had any, could not be
learned. He was a stranger to both
Mr. Krollpfeiffer and the marshall.

THEY WILL ASK LEADING CUES.
TIONS.

When the soldiers come home they
will have no kindly feeling for or
ganized labor. Why? Because they
feel that this body did not so much
concern itself with supporting them
as it did in grabbing while the
grabbing was good"
Will this policy of coddling labor
be continued after the war? It is
not likely. There will be more men
for the jobs, extraordinary wages will
not be in force, and the returning
soldiers will not be in any mood to
favor the closed shop. They have
fought for liberty, and it is not like
ly that they will favor the autocracy
of the closed shop.

LFAVtNWORTH WINS ANOTHER
HONORFLAG IN 4th BOND DRIVE
OFFICIAL QUOTA ALMOST DoU-
BLED-PESHASTIN AND BLEW
EFT ARE WAY OVER THE TOP.

Following is the report of Chair
man Sylvester on the fourth bond
drive, which closed last Saturday
night:
The close of the campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan found the Lea
venworth district with pledged sub
scriptions in the bank amounting to
SOL ,05O. The total of the subscrip-
tions taken by the railroad employees
through the company is not yet ex-
actly determined, but it is known to
be over $4,000 and probably nearer
S25 1000, so that the total amount to
be finally credited to the Leaven-
worth district will be approximately
S85 900, or 17S per cent of our quota
which was $47,SOO.
The Peshastin and Blewett sections
of the district were each assigned
quotas for this loan of $7500 and
$4,000 respectively. Peshastin sub
scribed S7650 and Blewett S7100 so
each of them will have their own
honor flags and Blewett will have
star on hers for having made more
than so per cent above her quota.
Somewhat over 20 per cent of the
population of the district purchased
bonds, the SCI 900 being taken by 63S
subscribers. Fully 95 per cent of the
bonds were sold without personal So
licitation, the people showing their
loyalty and realization of their duty
and privilege by walking in and TAX
ing them of their own free will. A
few slackers could be named but they
are very few and must feel them
selves rather out of place in so loyal
community.
As chairman of the district | wish
to thank one and all who assisted in
the good work and more particularly
Mr.. and Mrs. McDaniels and the boys
of the band, and the singers who gave
their services gratis at the rallies at
Leavenworth and Peshastin, and also
the employees of the bank who put in
many hours of overtime in helping
subscribers and keeping the records
1t is a pleasure to work in and be OF
community that sees its duty and
Loyalty performs it,
A. H. SYLVESTER,
Chairman, Leavenworth District

TWO VICTIMS OF INFLUENZA.

Walter Haley died at the Leaven-
worth hospital last Friday morning
victim of the prevailing influenza. He
was employed in the lumber camp of
the Great Northern lumber company,
in one of the camps on the Chumstick,
and was brought to the hospital in the
early part of the week. He developed
pneumonia, which in almost every
instance is the case where death ~
suits. Papers in his possession indi-
cate that he had lived in Klamath
Falls, Oregon, where he held mem
bership in the Moose lodge. The re-
mains were deposited in the Leaven-
worth cemetery last Tuesday at $50.
Joe Massingill, who had also been
employed in the lumber camps, died
in the Leavenworth hospital last Sun
day. He was first attacked with in
fluenza which later developed compli-
cations with fatal results. He came
here from the south. His father is
said to reside in Mobile, Alabama.
The body is being held for DISPOSE
ton.

APPLE PICKING IN UPPER
VALLEY DRAWING TO CLOSE

Many of the apple growers tell us
that they are thru picking or will be
very soon. Some twenty-odd, mostly
from the Cashmere and Dryden Sec
tions of the valley, who had been
working in the orchards, came here
Tuesday and took the train for Sc
attic and other coast points.
While the yield this year was not
as large per acre, as in other years,
the quality, size and color was over
the average, so that on the whole, the
apple growers are quite well salts
fled. The prevailing price leaves the
growers a satisfactory margain of
profit.

THE GREED OF EMPLOYERS.

There is a lesson that both employ
ers and labor leaders must learn and
that is that greed must be controlled
in the interest of industrial produc-
tivity. The war has taught employ
ers many things. Perhaps the most
valuable lesson is that grabbing is
not conducive to progress. Labor
leaders in the main, so far do not
seem to have grasped this fact AS
long as they persist in increasing de-
mands at critical times; hampering
industry TO enforce their claims, just
that long viii their unions act Us i
drag on industry.

KITS FOR LEAvENWORTH BOYS.

If you want your boy or friend to
have a kit leave their name at the
war workers headquarters. The so
cial and welfare committee of the
Leavenworth branch of the national
league for womens service will con-
slider it a great favor if the relatives
or friends or the boys themselves who
are called into service from Leaven-
worth will leave their name at the
war workers headquarters that they
may receive a kit which the commit
tee wants each boy to have, but we
must depend on the public a great
deal to help supply the names of the
boys.

EFFICIENCY.

The man who is efficient will rise
in his chosen calling. He will rise
through his own efforts and not thru
the efforts of any organization or
labor leader. This is the chief rea-
son why open shop methods are more
productive of efficiency. In the open
shop a man rises by his own worth +;
he is not limited in effort, and he does
not secure high wages by cut-throat
methods as practieed by certain labor
leaders and their organizations.

COST OF PROvEDER.

Senator George w. Norris of Ne
braska has secured the adoption in
the senate of a resolution calling upon
the secretary of agriculture for all
information in his possession showing
the cost of production of wheat, bar
ley, rye, buckwheat, corn, kafir corn,
rice, apples, potatoes, cotton, beef
cattle, hogs, hay, and sheep. Those
are the products that enter more than
anything else into the high cost of
living and the date called for by Mr..
Norris will be awaited with interest
by students of the subject. With
such information at hand the con-
stantly recurring controversies over
price fixing by the government can
be intelligently discussed.

DEMOCRACY.

Democracy means fair play for the
individual. Closed shop is not fair
play for the employer or the en-
ployee. To the employer it denies
production and the right to choose
his help. To the employee it denies
the right to advance by his own eff
forts. He is held down to the stand
ard of the poorest worker The open
shop, on the other hand is fair to
both sides and develops the workers.
A man under open shop conditions
can advance just as far as his hon
est effort and ability will let him.

 METHODIST NOTES.

Sunday School was larger yesterday and an unusual interest was shown, at the morning hour the pastor did not preach as it was communion Sunday. A large number came for ward to partake of the Lords Supper, which was very impressive service. The Epworth League had a large at tendance with Miss Peggy Young as leader.
 At the evening hour our pastor preacher very interesting sermon his subject being, "The Crown Head" Rev. Monk took his text from Revela- ton, 3-14, and in his sermon gave to his audience some of the following re- marks: "A Grown is symbol of the summit of human power and glory. The Savior had placed upon the head the greatest crown known to mankind, are you longing for crown of power :? Go not to Kings Palaces; point you to Galvery's Cross, where every soul may find the power which will endure through out all ages.
 All men are equal in the Kingdom of God, all have the privilege of wear ing crown.
 A crown of Righteousness was given Paul for his faith and love for Christ Enduring temptations and paining
  victory brings to us a crown of life. Are we fighting and struggling for that Grown?
 Gain the crown of life and through that gain the immortality of the soul A crown of joy and peace is given us through service to our fellow men. We must be true and faithful if we obtain this crown.
