BROWN GRILLS
LEAGUE LEADERS
Speaker Says the Nonpartisan
League Strikes at Basis of
American Government

In rousing address in the K. of
P. hall last Friday evening, Capt. E.
X. Brown of Ellensburg, called upon
his hearers to be either good, loyal,
outstanding republicans or democrats
and not be led away from American
ideals and the fundamentals of Amer
lean government by the appeal of So
yietism, communism, and Old-World
classism which is being made by div
ers organizations at this time.
Capt. Brown was but a forerunner
of many able speakers whom the re-
publican state committee expects to
send into this valley during the sum-
mer and fall and at the conclusion of
his address the frststep toward the
organization of the Kennewick repub-
lean club was taken by the appoint
ment of committee on permanent
organization. A. r. Gardner, who pre-
sided, appointed the following: H. R..
vibber; chairman, Phil G. Warnock,
Guy Story, Garden Tracts; e. O.
Keene, Highlands; Herb w. Brown,
Valley; Geo. E. Finley, Finley and n.
s. Hughes, Hover.
Capt. Brown chose for his subject
"The American Plan Of Government" !"
He called attention to the fact that
the government Of the United States
has endured without fundamental
change longer than any other govern
ment existing in the world today. He
traced the history Of the political par
ties in this country and pointed out
their fundamental difference from the
political parties of the old world. The
truly American political party is made
up of citizens who entertain similar
ity of political views, regardless. Of
their stations in life, while the Euro
pean political party is founded on
class. The government Of the United
States has endured because the funda-
mentals Of that government as writ
ten into the constitution have been

FRANK CARTER DIES
AT AUTO WHEEL
N. P. Freight Agent Seized by
Fatal Illness Returning from
Church Function

| Frank w. Carter, local freight agent
for the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, died at the steering wheel of
his automobile on Washington street
about 1880 o'clock last Thursday eve
ming.
Mr.. Carter, accompanied by his wife
and two children, Ray Miller, his bro
ther-in-law and Martin Jenson, were
returning home from reception at
the M. E. church. During the evening
Mr.. Carter was cheerful and apparent
ly in excellent health. AS he neared
the Commercial Hotel corner on Sec
ond street he called out to the men and
children who rode in the back of the
car which was equipped with deliv-
cry box, to hold on as he was going to
turn corner. When less than two
blocks out on Washington street he
leaned over on Mrs. Carter, she
thought to adjust the lights. When
she asked what was the matter he did
not reply. She repeated the question
and when there was still no reply she
discovered. that her husbands hands
had slipped from the steering wheel.
Before. she could bring the car to a
stop it collided with a tree near the
Catholic church. The car was consid-
erably damaged and the occupants re-
received minor bruises, and Carter was
taken from the machine dead. Death,
due to heart failure, had been instan-
taneous and the fatal attack must
have seized the man within few in
stants after he had spoken at the ho-
tel corner.
Frank Winston Carter was born at
Springfield, ILL.,, July 20, 1883. He was
united in marriage with Mary E. Mil
Ter Aug. II, 1904 at Springfield. They
lived for number of years at Alton,
ILL.,, coming to Washington in 1912.
He being railway employee, they
lived successively at Walla Walla, Pas
co, Milton, Ritzville and Kennewick,
coming here last January.
Besides his widow and two children,
Henrietta Elizabeth and Paul Winston
Mr.. Carter is survived by his aged par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. W.. s. Carter of
Springfield, three brothers, George
and Charles of Springfield and James
of Selah, Wash, and by one sister,
Mrs. j. L. Nethery Of Springfield.
Mr.. Carter, in boyhood, joined the
Baptist church. Later he and his wife
became members Of the United Breth-
rem church. At the time of his death
he was faithful and energetic MEM
ber of the Methodist church at Kenne-
wick.
The funeral service was conducted
at the Methodist church Tuesday af-
ternoon, by Rev. H. ]. Wood.

PROCLAMATION

Two years ago this country was at
war. The very flower of Americas
Young manhood were absent from their
homes, at the battle fronts, on the seas
and in the training camps, ready and
wiling to make the sacrifices neces-
sary to the preservation of their coun-
try's honor and integrity. At that
time we were applauding their efforts
and extOlling their service. Now the
time is at hand when we, as citizens,
are called upon to give simple proof
that we really meant our former pro-
testations of loyalty and patriotism
in observing the day set aside for hon
oring the memory of those who have
given their lives in the service of their
country. AS good citizens, it behooves
MS not to be Indifferent to the deeper
significance of this day of memories
NOR unmindful of our debt to our SOL
diers and sailors. both living and dead;
therefore I respectfully call upon the
people of this community to close their
places of business thruout Monday,
May 81 and insofar as the necessities
OF their daily tasks will permit, to sus-
pend their labOrs to the end that Me-
mortal Day may be fittingly and ap-
proriately observed.
