article, but by frankly calling up
on the other nations to agree to
changes in the proposed agree
ment which will obviate this vital
objection and other objections
less the subject of dispute.
For this course we can look
only to the Republican Party
and its candidate: the Democrat
ic Party and Mr.. Cox are not
bound to follow it, The Repub-
lican Party is bound by every
consideration of good faith to
pursue such course until the
declared object is attained.
As the general attitude of the Re
publican Party toward the Treaty of
Versailles, it was defined as follows:
The conditions of Europe make
it essential that the stabilizing
effect of the treaty already made
between the European powers
shall not be lost by them and that
the necessary changes be made
by changing the terms of the
treaty rather than beginning en-
tirely anew
That course Mr.. Harding is
willing to follow.
This appeal was directed to the Re
publican supporters of the League of
Nations, and was a pledge to them
that in the event Of Mr.. Harding's
election the treaty of peace would be
ratified and the United States would
enter the League of Nations with the
covenant amended to meet the obiec-
tions to it raised in the United States
Senate. The men who made this APP
peal were Republicans who had a
right to be taken seriously.
Two of the signers are now mem
bers of Mr.. Harding's Cabinet
Charles f. Hughes, Secretary of
State, and Herbert Hoover Secretary
of Commerce. Among the other
signers were Elihu Root, Lyman Alb
bott, Nicholas Murray Butler Presi-
dent of Columbia University. who had
himself been an aspirant for the
nomination at Chicago; President
Lowell of Harvard, President Hibben
of Princeton, George W. Wickersham
former Attorney General in the Cab
met of President Taft; Oscar Straus,
former Secretary of Commerce and
Labor in the Cabinet of President
Roosevelt; Henry l.. Stimsen, former
secretary OF war IN the Cabinet of
President Taft, and William Law
renee, Bishop of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Harding tacitly accepted this
pledge and the support that it drew
to the Republican candidates. In
view of the developments in Wash
ington, what do the thilty-one sign
ers of the appeal of Oct. II think of
the pledge that they made to the vot-
ers? In particular what do Mr..
Hughes and Mr. Hoover think of it ?
Were they tucked? If so, why are
they now acquescing in foreign

ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS MUST
HAVE WARRANTS

We are admonished by the consti-
tuition of the state of Washington
that "a frequent recurrence to fun
damental principles is essential to the
security of individual rights and the
perpetuty of free government"
In that spirit Federal Judge Rud-
kin of Spokane recently decided that
prohibition enforcement officers had
no right to search automobiles or in
dividualS without warrants. The same
constitutional principle was asserted
at Tacoma yesterday, when Judge w.
o. Chapman of the superior court.
held that for an officer to stop a citi-
zen, search his pocket and take from
II liquor without a warrant is vio-
lation of the constitution.
The constitution of the United
States is emphatic on this matter. 1t
declares that
The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses.
papers and effects, against I'M
reasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be Violated, and no war
rants shall issue but upon prob
able cause, supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly de-
scribing the place to be searched
and the person or things to be
seized.
Friends of prohibition who are dis
posed to find fault with these decis-
ions should remember that the Con-
stitution is the bulwark of their
cause. Upon the Constitution, fear

they depended for the victory over
the saloon and the liquor interests.
All the more regardful, therefore,
should they be for other provisions of
that great instrument. 1t would be a
grievouS mistake to seek enforcement
of one provision in the Constitution
by overriding another.
The foregoing decisions will in
crease the difficulty of dealing with
bootleggers and illicit distllers-that
is true-but they seem justified by
the language Of the fundamental law
Of the nation. The Constitution was
written with far-sweeping vision. It's
trainers were more concerned with
the safeguarding of fundamental
principles and the perpetuity of free
government than with thoughts of
making easy the work of law enforce
ment officers. -Spokes Review.

THE MAN AT THE THROTTLE.

Society owes a debt to the locomo-
tive engineer which it seldom takes
time to acknowledge, Only on rare
occasions public attention is called to
some man at the throttle, and for a
moment homage is paid one whose
steadiness has made safe the lives of
thousands of passengers and contrib
uted to the comfort of communities.
Here is "Bill" Bennington, for in
stance, who for as years has run an
engine over the Big -Four railroad in
to Cincinnati. We read that he re-
tired week or so ago and that when
he pulled his express train into the
union station-on time as usual-at
the end of his last trip, a reception
was rendered him on the greasy plat
form of the terminal. The locomo-
tive had been decked with flags at In
dianapolis and "BilFs" train had
streaked through the country not I'M
like a comet.
The average railroad traveller gives
no though to the man in the locomo-
tive cab, whose mind must be alert,
whose judgment cannot err, in whom
but a moments lapse of attention
might mean tragic death to a score
or more of his fellows. Be he the en-
gineer of a transcontinental passen-
ger train de luxe, of a freight or live
stock train, or of even logging train,
with hand on throttle, with eyes
watching the myriad signals ahead,
with mind on his orders and no
thoughts for his own comfort or con-
venience, the engineer holds lives in
his keeping.
So when "Bill' Bevington came to
retire, memories of his long service
came back to men who had never tax
en- the trouble before to give him even
q thought, let alone a word of cheer.
Forty-siX years is a long period in
railroading. Innumerable innova-
tions have come in that time to light
en- work, to speed up service and in
crease safety in travel. But through
them all the personal equation re-
mains the domnent factor in trans
portation. The man at the throttle
is greater than block signal devices,
interlocking switches or the most
elaborate protective machinery, for he
dominates them all. Without his
alertness they fail.
There are many "Bill' Bevingtons
at the throttles of locomotives here
and there over the country, reaching
their terminals on time and in safety
Only occasionally do we pause to pay
ono a tribute.-Tacoma Ledger
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1921-04-22

The state dental law has been de-
clared imperative and the construc-
ton put upon the matter is that any
graduate of standard dental school,
holding a diploma, may go ahead and
practice dentistry in this state, Den
tistry is a peculiar art-for it is an
art Of kind-and it seems to us
that the state should exercise care in
permitting its practice. According to
the best authorities, one may be en-
tirely healthy excepting for bad
tooth. This tooth may be treated,
filed or crowned by reputable den
fist and still years later the patient
is told that faulty dentistry has caus-
ed his health to be undermined. Per-
haps much of the blame attaches to
the patient for not having consulted
the dentist occasionally whether suf-
fering or not; but the fact remains
that one must patronize competent
dental practitioners or none at all.

WHAT ANSWER?

New York World: An important
chapter in the history of the Presi-
Dental campaign of 1920 is recalled
by the definite announcement from
Washington that the Harding Admin
iStration has decided to repudiate
both the treaty of Versailles
and the covenant of the League of
Nations in their entirety.
On Oct. II, 1920, thirty-one dis
tinguished leaders of American po-
litical thought issued an appeal to
the voters to support Mr.. Harding
for President on the ground that his
election would be the most effective
means Of promoting peace by inter
national cooperation. The issue was
stated by them as follows:
The question accordingly is not
between league and no league ,
but is whether certain provisions
in the proposed League agree
ment shall be accepted unchang-
ed or shall be changed.
The principle change that the thir-
ty-One had in mind related to Article
X, guaranteeing the territorial integ-
rity and political independence of
members of the League. The reason
why these eminent gentlemen profes-
9ed to believe that the election of Mr..
Harding was preferable to the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cox were stated in these
words:
We have reached the conclu-
sion that the true course to bring
America into an effective league
to preserve peace is not by insist
ing with Mr.. Cox upon the ac-
ceptance of such a provision as
Article X, thus prolonging the
unfortunate situation created by
Mr.. Wilson's insistence upon that

lenged would "vest virtual monopoly

such satisfaction that it was deemed

The course of the Wenatchee school
board in determining to lower their
levy sounds good in these days when
about every taxing board in the coun-

a serious charge of plagiarism being
lodged against them.

Fruit growers and associations
throughout the Northwest all say that
freight rates on their produce are out
of reason and that the industry can
not survive unless a change is made.
Railroad officials ought not need be
told of this second time. Freight
rates on every conceivable sort of
produce are too high for that matter
and the roads cannot look for re-
vival of business until rates are cut
and cut deeply.

SEED MIXTURES ARE COSTLY
Much Advertised Clover Timothy Con-
tain Very Little of Former-Of
Little Value.

So-called clover-timothy. seed mix
lures, which are widely advertised
by certain seed firms at what may
appear to be attractive prices, often
contain so little alsike or red clover
that they are of little, If any, more
value than timothy seed, but actually
cost nearly double the market price
OF that seed, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. These mixtures are usually
offered by the bushel, followed by the
qualifying statement that bushel
weighs only As pounds.
In other words, this seed is offered
as clover and timothy with the claim
that the different seeds occur In the
proper proportions for seeding, while
frequently there Is not more than 5
or per cent of clover present-not
enough to be Of any value in the crop.
Persons who buy mixed seed can
not be too careful to learn the exact

WAYS OF IRRIGAT|NG GARDEN
Suggestions Given Showing How tho
Work Should Be Done for Best
Results-Thoroug Cultivation

Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
Garden crops drink lots of water.
1t is just as essential to their growth
as Is plantfood or sunlight. Practi-
cally every home gardener who has
looked upon his thriving garden with
pride In the spring has experienced
various degrees of lost hope during
midsummer droughts when the plants
he has worked with so carefully stand
with dropped heads for lack of mois-
ture. Experienced gardeners always
provide some means of supplying
moisture to keep their gardens grow
ing vigorously through dry spells. Va
rious ways of irrigating gardens are
outlined by garden specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture
The essentials for the successful
watering of garden crops, they say,
are, first, an adequate supply of wa
ter, and second, suitable means of dis
tributing it to the plants. Whenever
the garden is within reach of q city
water supply a hose can be used to
advantage, drawing water from the
regular piping system. Where a sup
ply of this kind is not available, often
1t is possible to pump water with a
small gas engine and a pump. The
source of water will vary with local
conditions, and each gardener must
work out his own problem, but there
are well-defined principles regarding
Its application.
Too Much Sprinkling Injurious.
Frequent sprinkllng of garden
plants and the surface soil with the
hose usually does more harm than
good. The best results can be real
lied where water is applied only after
the soil has become reasonably dry,
and the plants are almost at the point
of showing the need of water. The
soil should then be well soaked, and
no more water applied until it is again
fairly dry. In the meantime thor
ough cultivation should be given, be-
ginning as soon as the surface soil
Is dry enough to work.
There are three distinct methods of
applying the water The overhead
sprinkler system, used by many mar
ket gardeners, consists of pipe u inch
or 1 inch in diameter with line of
holes of about 1.32 inch in diameter
drilled at intervals of every 2 feet
along one side. The pipe is support
ed on lines of stakes driven in the
ground across the garden. One end
is capped or plugged, and to the other
is made with the water
