THE NOM PARTISAN
LEAGUE MEETING

its County Organization Conven-
ton in this city Friday, March ~.
u. l.. Freeman, State Manager OF
the League, stated in his address
that they were met to perfect
Non-Partisan Organization to get
control of State laws; to enable the
producing class to say who their
representatives shall be. He said
that the enthusiasm for Non-Par-
tisan organization is fine through
out the entire State. County after
county is asking for speakers and
organizers.
Snohomish County is TO have a
Paid NonPartisan manager, and
each precinct will elect a commit
teeman and a delegate to assist the
manager in organization work. Now
that they have perfected an organ
ization. the County has full local
autonomy, and the authority is
vested in Central Committee COM
posed of one committeeman elected
from each precinct and in an Exec
utive Committee of three: chair
man, secretary and treasurer.
f. l.. Morgan, Chairman of the
Snohomish County Triple Alliance,
was elected Chairman of the Sno-
homish County NonPartisan Lea
que organization. w. P. wilkins,
of Hartford, was elected Secretary,
and VIM. Klock, of Marysville,
Treasurer. Both men are also act
i've Triple Alliance members. A. G.
Ziebell, of Marysville, also active in
the T. A., was unanimously elected
State Committeeman 1t was agreed
by the members present that the
Non-P Partisan League is the official
farmer organization, as the labor
unions are the official labor organ
izations, and that each member of
the Non-Partisan League will pay
his dues into the Triple Alliance,
the same as those of the Labor and
Railway group are doing.
After the business was all trans
acted, Mr. Neil Breslin, Triple AL
lance organizer, was given the
floor He said, in part, that Labor,
the Railway men and the Farmer
must link together in this battle
for legislation for the producing
class. and the Triple Alliance is the
organization that links these three
groups together. The aim and OBJ
ject of these three groups is to CO.
operate.
A. G. Nebell advised the farmers
not to believe what the kept
press" said that was detrimental to
| the T. A. The press will try to
make the Farmer believe that La
Dor is against him, and will try TO
make Labor believe the Farmer is
against them. He said, Keep your
! head cool, and your feet warm, and
let the politicians talk"
The Hebe Milk was declared by
the Dairymen present to be inju-
rious to the health of the children
who use it. Farmers want to elm
mate such products from the mar
ket. They are anxious to work
with the Labor and Railway men
to put across legislation for all
producers.
j. l.. Freeman told them that the
majority of the rank and file of
Labor are absolutely with the Nom
Partisan League. He said that only
small group of politicians in the
Labor group tried in the Seattle
Convention and are now trying to
disrupt the Triple Alliance organ
ization. THE Farmer (Non-Parti-
san Leaguel, Labor and the Rail-
way men are going tremendously
to the ballot box" he said, in clos
ing.
The State Non-Partisan League
Convention will be held the last
week in June. probably in Spokane

.IS CHARGED WITH
 KIDNAPPING GIRL

Charged with enticing a 14-year-old girl away from her home and also with Kidnapping her, Mrs. Ruby Giles Davis, IS years of age, yesterday was arraigned before Justice Mckee on the charges. She pleaded not guilty and was released on her own recognizance to appear for examination at a later date. She was placed in the custody of her brother, R. M. Giles of Chandler.
 The complaints were made by l.. Richardson of Chandler, who alleges that Mrs. Davis took his daughter Nel- lie away from the custody of her par ents in Chandler. Following the dis appearance of their daughter several days ago, a message was sent to the sheriffs office here to be on the look out for the woman and the girl. Ae- cording to the message, they were to catch a train for California at Glen dale. The officers here traced the couple to Tempe, where they had se- cured positions in the Casa Loma hotel and after talking with them, sent them back to Chandler. Richardson then 1 filed the complaints against Mrs Davis. She was arrested yesterday in Chandler by Deputy Sheriffs Al De 1 Witt and R. M. Price.

'KIDD|E KAR" LEADS
 TUT FAR FROM HOME

A Riddle kar" is a most satisfactory means of conveyance. Bobby Hales, three years old, found this so, anyway.
 When found near Monte Vista place by Mrs. ]. A. Messinger, he was mak- ing rapid progress toward mo mans land;" but that didn't worry Bobby he was having the time of his life.
 Grasping the situation, Mrs. Messin- ger took the little fellow under her care. Confident that he was straying to an unknown destination without the consent of his parents, she took him into her home and attempted to learn his name, where he lived, and other information that might aid her in re- storing him to his mothers arms.
 But to be so suddenly snatched from all his fun seemingly didn't set well with Bobby. His laughter ceased and in its stead a bout appeared on his lips. He refused to talk and even the most emphatic urging and promises oi ice cream, mountains high, a toy au- tomobile, big bags of candy, rocking horse or an honest to goodness air plane failed to move the youngster. As last resort, Mrs. Messinger no- tified the police. Shortly after { o'clock Bobby was returned to hi: mother at 532 West Lynnwood.

AFRICAN EXPLORER PRESENTS HIS VIEW
 ON DARK CONTINENT

There was never a negro in Africa. No cannibals make their abode in the dark continent" Every tribe in Africa is civilized, though not according to the standards of the anthropologist. These are the assertions mane in Phoe nix by pr. Harry Dean, said by some to be the most extensive explorer of Darkest Africa" now living. Dr. Dean is in Phoenix and Arizona to instruct the colored people on the facts regarding Africa, to tell the white people of his findings and to interest business men in the commercial oppor- tunities offered, particularly in Liberia.
 "I have made a special study of Af- rican life and customs and am pre- pared to refute the pseudo scientists, so called anthropologists, who view Af rican life through their standards and ideals, generally insane standards" he declared.
 Most people do not know that the French cooking is just degeneration of the Abyssinian style of cooking.
 Liberia has a population of 2,060, GOO, almost 50,000 square miles of ter ritory, about the size of the state oi Illinois, and is 100 times richer thar Illinois. Liberia has produced a mar who did something nobody else in tho world ever dids he sat down and in. vented an alphabet"
 Explaining his statement that there was never a negro in Africa, the ex. plorer said that the word negro il taken from @ Portuguese descriptiv' adjective and there is no authority for it.
 Liberia is ready to send s200, 000
 900 worth of trade to the United State in the form of produce in exchang for tobls and machinery" pr. Dean de clared. q am here to open the eye of Americans to the possibilities in tha country, as we'll as Africa" Dr. Dean will address colored ped pie on the unwritten features of Afr can history at the A. NJ. E. church to night. Saturday night he will give a illustrated lecture at Doris hall.

THE MAN WAS RIGHT

This happened in a restaurant into
which a young Duluth man entered
carrying another young man on his
shoulders. The young man who was
being carried had no legs-only
stumps were left.
The war;" somebody asked.
"The war;" somebody who knew
answered.
Damn the kaiser!" exclaimed a
man at a table nearby; and every
body fervently echoed the sentiment.
Everybody. that is. but one
NO" said this one, don't damn
the kaiser. He's damned anyway
What we should do is to damn Lodge
and all the others who have stepped
in to prevent the carrying out Of a
plan-the only plan before the world
of organizing civilization to prevent
a recurrence Of war such as that
which blasted the life of that young
man and Of millions Of other young
men. and that left the world in a
state of disorder that this generation
will not see the end Of"
And the vote was unanimous that
this man was right

ty, every state" their services will be

who hasn't any use for altruism and

that fol-de-rol, who declares that
"the tariff is the ISSUE" and who
thinks that Penrose. Smoot and Lodge

dents il he is elected.

meant.

Governor Herrick--all favorable to
the league in some form-in consulta-
ton with the senator. out of this
taking of counsel the speech was to
issue. 1t was obviously not to be
Senator Harding's own, in the sense
that it expressed his individual and
firm opinion. i was to be a COM
posite that means a compromise; an
attempt to satisfy both sides and to
reconcile contradictories. A great
authority has declared that the only
way for a public man to meet a crisis
Is with courage, decision. manliness
and rectitude." But this has not
been the Harding style. lie would
not be deferred by the further state
ment of Edmund Burke that, IL we
meet a crisis with poor common
place proceeding, with trivial max
inns, paltry old saws, with doubts,
fears and suspicious, with languid,
uncertain hesitation, with a formal
official spirit which never sees a diff
ficulty but to yield to 1t. or at best
to evade it, down we go to the bot
tom of the abyss"
Anything clear-cut and open to but
a single Interpretation could hardly
have been looked for from Senator
Harding. Indefiniteness is his forte
and amiable vagueness his foible. 1t
cannot be said of him, as Mr. Asquith
said Of tho late Joseph Chamberlain,
that he is not a man Of blurred
edges" The Ohio senator's blur ex-
tends from edge to center. But this
is not Of so much consequence as the
fact that he finds that the league Of
nations will not vanish at a gesture
from him, but remains a live and
bothersome political issue which he
cannot get away from. try as he may.

ican labor against the cheap pauper
labor Of Europe.
Meanwhile, the National City bank
of New York has compiled figures TO
show that the exports of American
manufactures for the calendar year
1920 will be in excess of four billions
of dollars, as against less than one
billion in 1914. In other words, un-
der four years OF "ruinous democratic
free trade" our manufactured cx-
ports have quadrupled.
Textiles exported in the fiscal year
Of 1920 aggregated s4S5, ZOO. .OOO--an
increase of SO per cent over last year.
and of 500 per cent over 1914. Leath-
er goods exported increased GO per
cent over last year and 400 per cent
over 1914. Exports of rubber manu-
factures increased as much. Auto
mobile exports increased 100 per cent
over last year and 700 per cent over
1914! The exports OF locomotives
we're $4,000. 900 in 1920 and $3,5OO,-
900 in 1914.
Cotton goods exports amounted to
100000 in the fiscal yoar 1920,
S232, 900 last year and $4,000. 900
In 1914. Exports of wooden goods
were ten times greater in 1920 than
in 1914. Silks were twelve times
greater. Iron and steel manufactures
exported for the fiscal year 1920
were three and a half times as much
in value as In 1914.
Read those figures over again and
let them sink in.
When we are selling more than
four billions of manufactures abroad
In a single year, competing with the
"pauper labor" OF all the world in its
own home, ourselves paying the
freight, how much more protection"
do those manufactures need against
competition from abroad when the
foreigner pays the freight?
How many billions OF dollars, col
lected by our manufacturers from the
consumers in the form Of higher
prices, benevolently made possible by
Senator Harding and his party, would
be needed to make the figure about
right?-

THOSE "GRAND OLD MCKINLEY
DAYS"

Almost at any time and place now.
where you happen to meet up" with
republicans, you will hear some of
them lamenting over the good old
dayS' of Mckinley and inHmating
that those are the days for which the
people are again pining. The Nc
Kinley days are not the kind that ap-
peal largely to the farmer and pro-
ducer. for that was when wheat was
worth but a dollar q bushel; corn
considerably less. and potatoes 50
cents bushel. watermelons sold
for 10 cents; cantaloupe 50 cents a
dozen; grapes 40 cents q basket; ap-
pies so TO 70 cents a bushei; cabbage
40 cents q dozen: tomatoes 6 cents
pound; sweet corn Is cents dozen,
and string beans 10 cents a quart.
With the biggest harvest the coun-
try has ever known. Arrangements
made for caring for the greatest crop
in the worlds history, hundreds of
millions Of bushels of grain to sell
to other people, and hundreds Of
millions OF raw material for anybody
who wants It; with factories going
fun tilt many years orders booked
ahead; employment at the highest
wages-everybody earning good
money; farm produce commanding
the best Of prices; everything that
goes to mako prosperity our portion;
with our people the best dressed and
the best fed on earth; with a demand
for everything we can make, at prof
table price-well, these fellows yap-
ping for those Mckinley days, are
pulling against strong head stream,
but they don't know 1t, They can
yelp about the league Of nations for
ever and a day, but the average man
and woman-in the United States
isn't trying 10 upset the bucket from
which continues to drip a steady flow
of gold, and gold is what makes for
happiness in the hearts OF nearly
every sound. sensible creature.

We VIII Also Shovel

1t is to be hoped that some day
the full and complete history of
profiteering during and since the war
in this country will be written with
out shielding saint or sinner. When
it is it will be the most startling, sem
sat'ond and condemning story ever
put on paper. 1t may never be fully
known until the day of judgment and
we fear that will be too late to get il
into the newspapers or have the find
ing OF the examiners given to the
world. II the real history of profi-
teering in the country ever could be
written and published the exodus
from the country would be greater
than in the days OF conscription and
the draft. Some OF these days ths
profiteerlng crowd will fall out among
themselves and the real truth may
come out. We hope it will be our
lot to shovel coal on the fires thai
heat the paper bunch of hoIdups in
the next country.-Moberiy Demo-
