HAYNES WOULD
MAKE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION DRY
Booze SIeuth Talks About
Absence of Liquor at
Cleveland,

BIZ NEA Serrice
WASHINGTON, June 17.-Roy
Haynes, roly-poly prohibition com
missioner, is a proud and happy man.
Roy claims the honor Of having
made the Republican national con
vention at Cleveland the dyest na-
tional political gathering in the his
tory of the u. S. A.
When Roy says dry" he means
it literally, not figuratively. He's
referring to the absence of alcoholic
beverages, not to the lack of enthusi-
assn which the correspondents had
in mind when they described the
convention as dry"
Prepared Carefully
Haynes attributes the alcoholic
drought at Cleveland to careful prep
aration. He had special agents in
Cleveland spotting likely cases for
four weeks prior to the assembling
of the delegates. AS a result, about
the only supplies in evidence during
the Coolidge convention were those
carried to the town with them.
His success in Cleveland has made
Roy ambitious. He Graves now to
clamp the lid on New York during
the Democratic sessions as effective
ly as he had it on at Cleveland.
Sleuths Ready
Already he has had ala additional
regiment of rum sleuths on the job
there for weeks.
New York. however, threatens to
present difficulties not present at
Cleveland. New York and New Jer-
sey vets are just as determined to
provide alcoholic hospitality on that
occasion as Haynes and his agents
are that liquors shall not flow
This rivalry between the prohibit
ton officials and the boys who seek
to anticipate wet plank in the Dem
ocratic platform promises TO provide
a game of hide and seek for the dele
gates not less thrilling than the
quest for the right man TO run for

III Texans, who already have
IL fought under six flags. are
battling .again-this time under
the banner Of art
A monument 10 be erected here
to Gen. Sam Houston, the man
who freed Texas from Mexican
rule, is the cause of it all.
The contract was awarded En-
rico Cerrachio, sculptor, who read
lily admits he is a missionary for
art 10 the people Of the Lone Star
State
His design, depicting Houston
leading his men into battle at San
Jacinto. is pure art, ne contends.
But some Of Houston's descend
ants declare it is just pure bunk"
THAT statue ought never to go
up says Mrs. Robert Johns,
niece of the General.
The resemblance is 50 remote,
the face is unacceptable and the
pose is awkward.
The General wore a plain black
coat, fur cap and old boots at San
Jacinto. The statue shows him in
double breasted Prince Albert, a
campaign hat and polished boots.
And It makes him look too fresh
from a barber shop
Other descendants. however. de
clare the statue is a perfect like
ness. They agree with Cerrachio
that his work is pure art.

HURLEY DOOMED
FOR DEMOCRATIC
VICE PRESIDENT.
Former Head of Shipping
Board Mentioned for
Place on Ticket,
BY ROBERT ]. BENDER,

UifeQ Press SIAN tOFffSBOHutNt
NEW YORK. June 17.-E. y. Hur-
ley, chairman Of the United States
Shipping Board during the war, is
being quietly doomed through State
delegations as a possible Democratic
vice presidential nominee.
In some respects it is one Of the
most important political soundings
that has occurred 10 date. 1t may
have a far reaching effect both on
the presidential nomination and on
the party's chances at the polls.
Early arrivals here speak Of him as
the strongest possible candidate to
match General Dawes.
Manufacture
Hurley is a well-known manufaC-
turer- of. the middle west. a business
economist OF wide repute, a for
mer chairman of the Fedora trade
Commission under Woodrow Viii
son. He commands the high re
spect of the business world.
Hurley also commands the warm
friendship of labor. He started life
as a railroad worker on the Burling-
ton system. He was an engineer at
the time of the famous Burlington
strike of 1883 and. like a number Of
other men who were in the service
then and later. became prominent
in the business world, he lis still
out on strike
Opposed to Dawes. he might well
be expected to capture a big labor
vote.
Democratic leaders are giving as
much pre-convention thought to the
vice presidential nomination as they
are to the head of the ticket. And,
because of the extraordinary polite
al situation brought about by the
independent candidacy Of Senator La
Toilette, the leaders are seeking a
a man for the second place on the
ticket whose strength in every way
matches that of the head of the
ticket.

men who graduate from this high
school intend to take up some agri-
cultural or engineering course. If SO,
they could not make. better selection
than their State College. The College
at Pullman is noted for its school OF
agriculture. The courses given by
this department are without doubt
as good if not better than those Of
fered by any school in the northwest.
In recent years more students have
been taking the engineering courses
at Pullman. AS result this depart
ment has been enlarged and improved
until it will cope with any engineering
school in this state.
The social life at Pullman is very
democratic. New students are made
to feel at home and they find it very
easy to make friends. There are so
many kinds of amusement at the state
college that the amount of pleasure
student has is really up to himself.
College can be dull place to go to
but in majority of the cases students
generally admit that they spent their
happ:est days at college.

You can lick the world, if you try,
If you'll only make the start,
If you'll drive right into the work
ahead
With stout unfiinching hearth
OF course you may meet failure,
And the world will scoF and jee-,
But stand right up with gritty grin
And choke back the rising tearl
Shake your fist in the face of the world,
Try again with double viInl
Let them watch you with contempt,
But hang right on to that cast-iron
grinl
Suppose again they term it failure.
And ridicule your cherished plan,
Grit your teeth and start all over,
And show the world that you canl
If you give up, the world has licked
you,
If you finch at their rebuff,
If you hide like licked puppy,
But you're made of a higher class
stuff
Just be faithful to yourself,
Hide each failure with grin,
Your success will lick the world,
And its your grit that made you winl

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

Notice is hereby given that the
personal property delinquent tax
lists have been. turned over to the
Sheriff of Benton County for col
lection with instructions to get the
money. There is no desire to in.
flict hardship on anyone, but it
is necessary that the taxes LEVIED
be collected in order that the va
rious partments of County and
State government continue to func-
ton, and as several thousand dol
lars of personal property taxes
have evaded payment each year
through failure to insist on pay
menr, it is thought that strict en-
forcement of collection is the only
method fair to all.
