MAN DOES NOT. LIVE
BY BREAD ALONE

/
A letter has recently appeared in d
local publication protesting against
the spending OF money by the Canad
ian government In cooperation with
the United States for bringing to jus
tice bootleg criminals. OF all the
extraordinary points Of view-unless
indeed it be that Of the king of boot
| leggers himself-this is the most ex.
traOrdinary.
Canada has an extraditiOn treaty
with the United States. and In many
ways she acts reciprOcally with that
country, that the people of both coun-
tries may dwell in peace and safety.
Why should any one be mad enough
to imagine that rum running Is not
just as much crime against the laws
Of the United States as murder or any
other of the crimes provided for in the
Constitution of that country. Simply
because the citizens of that country
have seen fit & hundred and fifty
years after their Constitution was
drawn up, to amend it in accordance
with the advanced ideas of the times
and the will Of the people, is that any
treason why residents of Canada, who
sy mpathize with the weakness Of
their tippling neighbOrs on the other
side of the line, should express opin-
ions at variance with the carrying out
OF the law and order In any country !!
Our much advertised British justice
can be as much outraged in this way
as in any other way.
Since the majority rules, the mi
nority must follow suit, whether the
laws of the country are at variance
with its pet weakness or motif 1t
were not for that weakness such laws
would never have been required. Many
people. perhaps, almost a majority,
disapproves of capital punishment,
but on that account do not feel justi-
fled in helping murderers to escape or
in ether ways defeat justice.
The other Gay a citizen of the
United States was convicted of coun-
terfeiting Canadian stamps. After he
was convicted In his own state Of
criminal practices. he appealed the
case on the ground that he was not
guilty of breaking the laws of his own
country. He was, however, held,
pending the consideration by the Unit
ed States department of justice of
what would meet the case. Now sup

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
MYERS NEEDED IN CONGRESS.

The state department of agriculture
and director E. L. French personally
are taking "A deep interest in the com
ing congressional election in the fifth
district. on account of its bearing on
a matter in which the department is
deeply interested, that is, reform in
the present wheat grading rules and
their application. TO do away with the
present determinations against Wash
ington wheat, which are costing the
farmers of Washington hundreds of
thousands of dollars year.
The state department of agriculture
has been trying to secure these re-
forms ever since the present grades
were established by commission of
college professors who dbl not come
west of Minneapolis in their investi-
cations. 1t seems almost impossible
to overcome tie inertia of bureau of
ficials. What is needed is some one on
the ground in Washington. with an
official standing, which will give his
desires some weight and who under
stands the detail of the matter thor
oughly. The questions involved are
all technical end not easily to be I'M
derstOod by nan who is not wheat
grower or VINO has not been in the
business of handling wheat.
Senator Charles E. Myers exper-
ience as a wheat grower, he having
relatively large wheat farm. has ia
miliariZed himself with these techni-
cal questions and he understands
thoroughly how the present wheat
grades and their application work to
the injury of the Washington wheat
grower, and just what changes are
needed in fairness to our farmers. His
assistance as member of congress
would be Of the greatest possible val
ne to the department of agriculture in
the fight which it is making on behalf
of the wheat growers This is the con-
trolling reason why the department
is so DESTROYS of his success In his
present campaign for election to con-
gress.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING,

Every once in a while we find ar
advertiser who wonders if he is get
ting results out of his newspaper ad
vertising. He should know that the
biggest concerns of our country have
spent millions of dollars which is the
best way to spend their money In pub,
hcity, and the newspaper has been
given first rank. And what is more. it
IS the small town newspaper, the com
munity paper, that is coming to the
foreground as the best medium. Just
glance over the papers of today ana
note the number Of big space users Of
nationally famous goods.
AT the recent newspaper institute
one of the most successful merchants
in our state, Going business at Okano-
gan, boldly told the merchants and the
newspaper men that he had proved
that newspaper space pays. He is to-
day probably the biggest advertiser of
any small town merchant-and per-
haps the most prosperous. IF bust
ness men would stop spending their
money on advertising knick knacks-|
pencils, rulers and such-they would
find that 5 cents worth of newspaper
space brings them more results than
Sl.OO spent in any other fashion.
This man has investigated all meth
DDS and that is why he is a big space
user.
AT the town of SnOhomish last week
ar entire section of their weekly pa
per was devoted to the opening of a
new store block. These progressive |
merchants, users of big newspaper
space, are typical of the successful |
business house throughout the coun-
try today. This is not bosh. 1t is "A |
