HOME OF THE BEST BERRY.

Arthur E. Velguth, whose specially
is oiled roads. of which more mas peeh
said in this issue, was caller at tnis
office during his brief stay In town
the latter part of last week. During
the desultory conversation MI. yer
gutb brought up the subject OF stra" :
berries and stated that in all his traV :
els in different parts of this state anu
Oregon he had never yet tasted such
delicious strawberries as he mad since
coming to Oroville. He said that lor
some reason the berries elsewhere
seemed tasteless, while the berries he
had had here hardly needed sugar as
thew were so free from acidity. EVERY
visitor to Oroville remarks upon the
richness of flavor of the homegrown
strawberry. and it would seem that
the Oroyille berry should find ready
sale in the larger markets OF the
state at a price that would prove
profitable to tae growers. Not only
are large quantities of these berries
grown here. where the soil ana cil.
mate appears to be especially adapteu
to the production of the perfect perry
bur many times more of these berries
could be produced if market for tae
output could be provided.

IT LOOKS LIKE MYERS.

Never before has there been so
much uncertainty attached to the no.
mination Of candate in this state at
the primary election as resulted from
the late primary election as to the
choice of the voters between Charles
e. Myers and Thomas Cookery. 1t has
required the official returns to decide
which of the two received the nominal
ion for congressman for this district,
and the winner comes through with
such narrow margin that it may be
said of him that he won by the skin of
his teeth. The Spokesman-Review of
Tuesday morning reported Cookery "a
head by three votes with the official
count of Lincoln county incomplete
The Wenatchee World of Tuesday
afternoon publishes despatch from
Spokane that states that Myers led BY
ven votes when Lincoln country re-
turns were complete. Those figures
may be taken as settling the question
and Charles f. Myers is the repub-
lican candidate for congress to sue
coed Judge Webster, and he will be
elected on the 25th of September next
at the time of the general election
And when he is elected he will be a
worthy successor of the man wac re-
signed the office for they do not make
better or more capable men than
Charles Myers.

PORTS OF ENTRY CLOSED,

Two ports of entry into the United
States from Canada have been ordered
closed by the United States immigra
ton service. The ports of entry are
those at present maintained at Marcus
and Curlew The Northport inspector is
expected to look after the work of the
Marcus and Curlew inspectors. Objec-
ton is expected to be raised by the
Great Northern railway because Of the
practical certainty of serious delays
at times Of the year when many Can
adams travel south. The inspectors at
Curley and Marcus have been taking
care of the immigrants entering by the
way of Grand Forks, while the North

No man can fail to admire civic or
ganizatiOn, community corporations
the development of the work together
spirit to tae nth degree, and no
town in the State of Washington has
these virtues developed to such a high
state of perfection as our neighboring
town Of Tonasket. We are standing
bare headed before this shrine of al
most perfect community organization.
When the people of Tonasket want
anything that may contribute even
remotely to the upbuilding or benefit
of their town they spare no expense
or trouble going out and getting it,
and they rarely fail. The Gazette is
led to mention this marvellous organ
izatiOn by the result of the late pri-
mary election. 1t will be remembered
that because Representative Banker
worked so hard and efficiently for road
appropriations for this county, To-
nasket at the election last fall gave
aim 255 votes while his opponent re-
ceiyed only SO. Banker is a democrat,
and nominally Tonasket is strong re-
publican, Poindester carrying the two
precincts by 80 majority. Now, when
the primaries were due. Mr.. Banker
told the people of Tonasket that he
never could have succeeded in secur-
ing appropriations had it not been for
Charlie Myers aid in the senate. That
was enough for our Tonasket friends.
Last Tuesday they took off their coats
and worked for Myers. Autos were at
hand and every voter was rustled up,
in some instances the cars travelling
as far as % miles to secure vote.
Why, the precinct cast over 100 votes
after six o'clock in the evening, men
and women not being able to leave
work until after that hour. What was
the result? Tonasket polled 2S7 votes,
about as many as the city of Wenat-
chez. Two hundred and fifty-nine of
those votes were cast for the republi-
can candidates, and Myers received al
most all of them. Had other precincts
in this and other counties Of the dis
| election Myers would have won hands
down. This is not intended as a reflec-
ton upon the other candidates, but
this time it was clear cut scrap be-
tween country and city and the coun-
try won. But the showing is feather
in the cap Of Tonasket and should spur
up other communities to emulate our
down valley neighbors, not alone in
the matter Of elections but in every
movement that has for it's object the
advancement of the interests of the
town for which its people are work
ing.

The Dempsey and Gibbons prize
fight that disgraces the date by taking
place on the 4th of July, will draw
thousands to Shelby, Montana. Demp-
sey receives the munificent sum of
100000. win or lose, the greater por-
ton OF which has already been paid.
1t is shocking commentary upon
present day civilization that men will
travel thousands of miles and spend
thousands Of dollars to see two big
brutes stand up and hammer each
other out of all semblance of human
ity. and the more brutal the hammer
ing the better the crowd likes it. In

President Harding Is on his way
west, starting out on tour that will
extend as far north as Alaska and by
the time he returns to Washington he
will have covered some $4,000 miles.
At every stopping place he is receiv-
ing the most enthusiastic receptions.
In his speeches he treats of domestic
and foreign subjects calmly, dispas-
sionately and convincingly, showing
an earnestness of purpose in his ap-
peal to the highest and purest senti-
ments OF the American people. This
western tour is going to strengthen
President Harding's standing with the
people of the country and will have
strong tendency to solidify the repub-
lican party.

Chesaw is to take fling at the 4th of
July. The residents of that burg are
arranging for safe and sane cele-
bration and no doubt large repre-
sentation of the farming district of the

A steady rain fell in this part of
the county all of Saturday night. If
this regular rain fall is going to be
new meteorological arrangement time
ly precipitation is going to put irriga-
tion out of business. However. We
would not advise closing down the
irrigation system on the strength of

Recently there has been entirely
too much leniency in the matter of
pardoning and paroling prisoners
from the penitentiary. Whether this
is the fault of the governor or par
doning board it matters not, little
more discrimination should be exer-
cised. No doubt there are deserving
cases where the powers that be are
justified in pardoning or issuing par
oles. but it does not seem proper or
safe to turn at large men WAC have
been proven guilty Of heinous crimes
and sentenced after fair and impair
tial trial. We are informed that if pro-
tests are filed with the board against
prisoner applying for pardon or
parole the board will carefully con-
slider such protests or acts. If public
ity were given of the intention of the
board to act on particular cases in the
county from which the prisoner was
sentenced it might be a preventative
against a practice that is becoming
too common.

DUBLIN, March 12.-Perhaps after 700 years it has become habit with the Irish people to be "'agin' the Gov ernment," and now that they have an Irish Government they cannot shake the habit. At any rate there is no deny ing the fact that the present Govern ment is unpopular.
 The unpopularity of the Government is notwithstanding the fact that within seven month it has surmounted the greatest difficulties and has accom- plished feats such as no Government in the world has ever before accom- plished in so short a time.
 "I do not know that a Government of archangels could make itself popu- lar under present conditions" a care full and non-partisan observer said. The Cosgrave Government is unpopu lar simply because it is the Govern ment, it would seem. At the same time it must be noted that the re- publicans are also unpopular perhaps more so than the Free Staters.
 Burgeoning State Bodes Trouble.
 Ireland is going through the bangs of birth, and unpopularity and diff culties are always the reward of those who give birth to a nation.
 Many have predicted that the Cos grave Government would fall before Spring, but there is one saving fac tor. At the present time there is no adequate voting register in Ireland, and until there is such a register there can be no fair and orderly election. This fact is a check upon those who
The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-12
TO FREE STATE
 IS ATTRIBUTED TO INHERENT
 F0RNINST THE GOVERNMENT

would attempt to force the present Government to retire and call upon the electorate for the choice of a new Government.
 A new Irish voting register probably will be completed by midsummer, and at that time it may be expected that to force the resignation of the Govern ment, with every prospect that such an attempt will be successful.
 Johnson Leads Opposition
 The only actual opposition the Gov ernment now has in the Daily is the Labor Party--headed by Tom Johnson. There is little likelihood that Johnson against the Government, for Ireland is not strongly disposed toward the Labor Party. It is probable, however, that Johnson's opposition will be the nucleus of the eventual movement to unseat the present Government.
 
 A center party is the probable out come of the unpopularity of the pres ent administration. Already steps have been taken, in which President Cosgrave is said to be a factor, to form a party which will combine the sound CT clements of all factions in Ireland. Such a party undoubtedly would have excellent chances of success at the polls, and it is probable that the cleo tion of such an administration would have a great quieting influence upon the populace that is now disposed to view the Government with a hostile air.
 Members of the present Government have no misconceptions about their po- sition. They realize their positions are held more by circumstance than by popular support. Nevertheless, the Government is forging on-doing it's work, and doing it's work well-despite the hostility against it.

 East Side Kids Who Mourned Him

and was the champion also of his dis trict. The juveniles looked up to him as their idol. And Sammy did not abuse the faith they placed in him. He taught them things, urged them to acts of goodliness and kindness. He was the director of the Oriel Midgets Club.
 About January 15 Sammy, who was shipping clerk, hurt himself when he lifted a packing case much too heavy for him. The doctors said it was something serious. The gang" until Sammy just gradually dropped did not realize how serious it was like a dying tree. And then-it did not seem possible-Sammy died.

 Sammy Rathet is dead.
 Sammy was only seventeen years old-but a good boy. That was admit ted by the Elders, the white-haired patriarchs who hobble about with canes while their long boards sway to the vagaries of the wind. And the women, feeding children on house step or cautioning the more reckless against the gutter as their playground, sadly shake their heads in a lament and in dirgeful vail proclaim:

 But it is the youngsters who pay Sammy, or "Zelick," the most elo- quent praise.

SCHOOL FOR MENTAL DEFECTS HAS
 INMATES FORGOTTEN BY PARENTS

SYRACUSE, N. Y, March 12.-Can a child remain in an asylum so long that, growing to manhood and then to old age, he has become entirely for gotten to those "on the outsider"
 Yes, is the affirmative example af- forded by the fate of over a score of inmate of the Syracuse State School of Mental Detectives. Confined to this institution when in their early 'teens-the asylum accepts no patient over IA years of age-these inmates, as twenty or thirty years have passed, have been "just forgotten" by rela- tives, by friends and by the authori- ties who sent them there.
 Intended for Children
 It is an unusual story indeed that is unfolded by the homes records, which show that more than 125 adults are confined in an institution which admits only children under fourteen.
 Samuel Dolan, sixty-five, who was committed to the home from Madison County in September, 1869, holds the record for long residence at the home.
 Other children" are:
 Levi Lawrence, fifty-six, of Rochest- CT, who entered the home in 1877; Caroline Shaft fifty-two, of Saratoga committed in 1886; James Brusie, fif- ty-one, of Columbia, committed in 1S79 and Rutherford Wells, fifty, of Bath,
The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-12

who entered at the age of fourteen.
 Pearl Clark, forty-three, commit ted in March, 1895, is the oldest in mate from Onondaga County.
 Other inmates from Onondaga Coun- ty who have grown up in the home are:
 Ellen Kearney, twenty-five; Clara Kellogg, twenty-five, and Elsie Schlos- sen, twenty-five.
 Not Wanted at Home
 Authorities at the home declare the presence of the adults in the children's s institution is due to the fact that the various counties are unwilling to take the uncured adults back into their Jurisdiction.
 At the present there is no way in upon the counties.
 The matron in charge admitted many of the adults were kept for the reason that they had become handy around the institution and saved the hiring of many servants"
 That something may be done in the near future to remedy this condition is the opinion of the superintendent, Dr. o. H. Cobb.
 Judge Frederick l.. Butcher of Mon roe County, visited the home, made the discovery of the adults, and de- clared he will take the matter up with the State Charity Board.
