HOW ABOUT YOU?

WHEN Abraham Lincoln was
w young man he ran for the leg
islature of Illinois and was badly
swamped. He next entered business
-failed-and spent II years OF his
life paying up the debts of a worth
less partner.
He was in love with beautiuful
woman to whom he became engaged
and then she died.
Entering politics again he ran for
Congress and was badly defeated.
He then tried for an appointment in
the United States Land Office, but
failed. After this he became candi-
date for the United States Senate and
was defeated.
In 1856 he became candidate for
the vice presidency, but lost the race.
In 1858 he was once more defeated
this time by Douglas.
In the face of all this, he eventual
" became one of the country's great
est men, If not the greatest.
How would you stand in face OF
such setbacks? Think it over.

OUR LOCATION

THE part of this country Lying west
L Of the Rocky Mts. is experience
ing the dryest year in its history and
daily we receive reports that irriga-
ton projects are in distress because
of lack of water. These reports should
not only make us thankful for our
unfailing supply Of water for irri-
CATION, but should also call our at
tention to the fact that the Kenne-
wick and Richland projects are bless
ed with return flow Of water that
gives protection to the settlers ct
these projects even in the dryest of
years.
This year again we find that pro-
jects up the Yakima can take all the
water at their dams and still they
can't shut off our supply. The old
river bed below the dam faithfully
swells again into a stream Of suf-
ficient size to more than take care of
our needs, and then send on to the
Columbia, more water than is needed
for the irrigation of our highline
project.
When we claim that we have the
best county in the northwest, be-
cause ours is the earliest producing
section, we might also mention that
we are as sure of water as we are
of sunshine. A certain water sup
ply will hereafter be an important
thing for western irrigation project.

W iousness, because Of repeated re.
Elections on the intelligence Of the
American people by men who spend
their lives in studying the workings
of the Amel lean mind. The leaders
Of every political organization, in
making election forecasts, repeatedly
assume that the average American
especially in the west, is an out and
our moron. And above all is the dis
couraging attitude taken by all the
leaders. They simply assume that
the average voter is without brains,
and make their calculation along this
line without apology, never admitting
that the voter has power to reason.
They take it as matter OF fact and
make their calculations accordingly.
For example let us quote Con-
gresham Hill Of the Spokane Con-
OCCASIONAL district. This man who has
already profited politically by the ig-
norance Of his district says: 81 have
no fight against LaFollette. He is
all right, and has been right all the
time. But / am democrat running
on the democratic ticket" Now if
Hill had said that black is white, or
that the Knights of Columbus and
the Ku Kluxers believed in the same
things, he couldn't get by with it.
He does, however, make statement
just as false and just as ridiculous.
And furthermore men high up in the
councils of Mr.. Hills party will pri-
vately admit that Mr.. Hill makes
such statements on the assumption
that the LoFollette supporter is a
moron and such statement will sat-
isfy him. Then they will further
excuse this dishonesty on the part
of Mr.. Hill by stating that LaFollette
has ordered it, and If Hill didn't make
q demogogue of himself some repub-
lican would.
Then Mr.. Hills friend, Senator Dill
suggests, that the upward trend in
wheat prices might be move to
to stop LaFollette at the polls" Of
course Dill protects himself by using
the words Knight be" realizing that
even the average moron might have
heard that the Liverpool market
governs the price of wheat over the
entire world and prices fluctuate on
crop reports. He therefore just
spreads his falsehoods by suggestion.
Mr.. Hill on the other hand when con-
fronted with the political necessity of
either boosting LaFollette or having
an independent candidate in the field,
quickly stabs Davis in the back and
mounts two platforms that stand for
two different things. All of which
proves that both Mr.. Dill and Mr..
Hill proceed politically on the theory
that the average voter is moron
and nothing but moron. Then re-
publican leaders in Spokane agree
that Mr.. Hill will probably be elect
ed on 'blacld is white" platform,
which concession is nothing more or
less than an admission that they also
believe the average voter is nothing
but moron.
We ask again in all seriousness,
care we Morons?" Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Dill surely presume that we are, or
they would not repeatedly insult our
intelligence. Yet why should we take
offense at the word moron when we
