No government is secure that Is not
based upon the affections Of the peo-
pie. The peoples hatred against the
rule of the foreigner had increased
with the passing of the years. Every
detail had been carefully considered.
when the hour came to crown Joash
and start the religious reformation to
overthrow Baal.
1t was bold plan to seek to do
both at one time. Jehoiada revealed
that he was an excellent executive by
the care with which he planned to
carry out his program. He selected
day of worship when the temple
would be more crowded and better
protected than the palace. He sum-
moned and secretly placed within the
parts of Palestine. He assigned to
each position of service. so that he
had the temple, as well as the young
king, protected by the united civil.
military and religious forces. 1t was
then that he presented the young
prince before the people and revealed
the purpose of Jehovah and called for
their public acceptance of the young
prince as their constitutional head.
The cries of the people aroused the
wicked queen to realize that her
power was imperiled. She tried to
check the rising tide of revolution by
her personal presence, but found
that Jehoiada was the master or the
situation. 1t is a gruesome record,
yet no one can tell how much fur
ther the bloodshed was saved by her
death. The crowning of Joash was
but "a step in the plan of Jehoiada to
cleanse the nation from the perils of
Baal. The greatest victory ever won
in Judah for Jehovah was secured
by the action of the loyal priest, who
secured a public covenant from the
nation pledging their loyalty to their
fathers God, when they agreed to be
1.-The Lords people" The king also
made one with Jehovah and the ma
tion. The work of reformation was
carried out rapidly until the nation
was cleansed from every taint of
Baal worship.
Men have been seeking to solve the
problems of the world along political
and economic lines. The parting
words of a waiter, whom the writer
spoke with last summer in Germany,
were to the effect that the one hope
tical application of the principles of
Jesus Christ to the affairs of men.
The world is awaiting some heroic
call by Il man of faith, who will lead
the nations of the earth to "be strong
in the Lord, and in the power of His
might" so that the new era Of peace
and prosperity, Justice and right
eousness will become a permanent
possession Of all mankind. When that
prophet arises the person who has
Influenced his life for Christ and the
service of humanity will be a mother
or foster mother, like Jehosheba who
early taught his lips to pray and
filled his heart with the knowledge
of the saving power Of the Lord
Jesus Christ, who is today the only
hope for the world.

FLAG DAY

CATURDAY of this week is Flag
~ Day. Frequently, especially in
smaller communities, the day passes
unobserved and un-noticed. While
no public observance has been plan
ned in Kennewick, the least we should
do, is to prominently display Old
Glory, on the community flag-pole,
on our stores and our homes.
AS thought for Flag Day the
Courier-Reporter suggests the fol-
lowing quotation from Woodrow Will
son:
"The Flag which we honor and
under which we serve is the emblem
of our unity, our power, our thought,
our purpose as a nation; it has no
other character than that which we
give it from generation to genera
ton. Though silent, it speaks to us;
speaks to us of the past; of the men
and women who went before us, and
of the record they wrote upon it."
With Flag Day here, with Memoir
ial Day just passed and the Fourth
of July coming it may not be amiss
to publish few of the established
rules for using the flag on public oc-
casions. KS.
1. The flag should be displayed on

street.
q. When displayed on speakers
platform the flag should be above
and behind the speaker. 1t should
never be used to cover the speakers
desk or drape over the front of the
platform. If flown from a staff, 1t
should be at the speakers right.
8. When flown at half staff, the
flag should first be hoisted to the
peak and then lowered to half staff
position, but before lowering for the
day it should be raised again to the
peak. On Memorial Day the flag is
displayed at half mast from sunrise
until noon and at full staff from
noon until sunset.

that spread over every part of tho
city and out into the state. In Or.

Perhaps it is because the mission
of the hospital goes straight to the
instinct which is deepest in the heart
of every woman, the instinct to shield
to love and comfort little children
That instinct is as strong in judy
O'Grady as in the Colonel's LADY,.
And that is the motive power that
has both held the 0rthopedic in the
front rank of hospitals all over the
United States, considered solely as a
hospital, and obtained two dollars
of value for every dollar it has ex.
pended, considered from the stand
point of business management.
Hospital workers and supporters
are scattered all over the state and
more and more widely every day,
which is as it should be. For the
hospital is a state, not Seattle, in
stttutionL Its little patients come
from far and wide and each one is
welcomed, whether its parents are
able to pay for care and treatment or
not. The sole qualification for ad.
mission is that the patient shall be
a crippled child.

DO THEY MEAN IT?

IF there is any public question on
= which there may be said to be
unanimity of opinion thruout the ma
ton, it is that of tax reduction. East
and west, north and south, the cit
izen's cry is for tightening the tax
burden, for lessening of the cost OF
doing the public's business. There
may be difference of opinion as
how best to accomplish the desired
result, but the end sought apparently
is the same everywhere. g.
The Courier Reporter has often re-
peated that there is only one way
to reduce taxes and that is to stop
authorizing and spending taxes. This
paper has likewise questioned the
sincerity of the peoples cry for re-
duced taxes, for the cry for tax
spending is by no means silenced
and the demands for additional taxes
on tax levying bodies are as numer-
GUS as ever.
President Coolidge, however, has
evidently taken the people at their
word and believes in the sincerity Of
their cry for reduced taxes. At the
beginning of his administration he
announced that he was committed to
q program Of tax reduction. He has
been true to that commitment and
has adopted the only possible method
to secure reduction. For the sake OF
catching votes here or there, unlike
congress, he has not swerved from
the path Of true and simple economy.
There were q lot of votes behind
the bonus bill. Congress yielded.
Coolidge didn't. He vetoed the bill
because it meant more taxes. There
were votes behind the increased pen

sion bill. Congress passed it. Cool
idge vetoed it because it meant more
taxes. There were votes behind the
increased salary bill for postal en-
ployes. Congress catered to the votes.
Coolidge didn't. He vetoed the bill
because it meant more taxes.
The Mellon tax bill was fun
damentally sound but there was moth
ing in it that appealed to the grand
stand. Congress amended it, not that
it might reduce taxes and contribute
to general prosperity, but that it
might carry a stronger appeal to a
larger number of voters. Coolidge
signed it but stated frankly that he
considered it greatly inferior to the
Mellon plan.
While it did not involve the ques-
ton of taxation, there were votes
back of the japanese exclusion bill.
Congress passed it over the protest of
the state department, which regard
ed the exclusion provision from a
national and not sectional stand
point. Coolidge signed the bill but
made it plain that he was opposed to
the Japanese exclusion feature.
If the people mean what they say;
if they really want taxes reduced;
if they are tired of the grandstander,
the bunk peddler, and the opportuu-
list in political life; if they want men
in high places who have the candor
to make plain their convictions, and
the courage to stand on those convic-
tions; men who will not be buffeted
hither and. thither by the cross cur
rents of active minorities, but who
will hold true and firm to course
intended to serve the best interests
of the people as whole, certainly
Calvin Coolidge has merited and is
entitled to their support.

SEATTLE AND THE APPLE PLAN
THE Seattle Times Sunday devoted

SEATTLE AND THE APPLE PLAN
THE Seattle Times Sunday devoted
= a front page editorial to an appeal
to Seattle to get back of an organic
ed plan to market the apple crop Of
the Northwest. It points out that
the apple orchards and equipment
represent a business investment Of
$50, 100000 which produces annually
crop valued at more than 100000
600. This great business is anguish
ing and threatened with ruin because
of unbusinesslike distribution.
In the same issue the Times gives
two columns of its news space to
an explanation of the Northwest plan
of organization as fostered by the
Washington State Chamber of COM
merce under the direction of Presi-
dent N. B. Coffman. It says that
Seattle failed to contribute the $4,000
allotted to it to make up prelim-
mary expense fund of $4,000. Ia
coma, it says, raised its $700 but re-
fused to turn it over to the committee
when it was learned that Seattle.
had failed to meet its allotment.
The Times editorial and explana-
ton are all right as far as they go,
but they stop short of telling the
whole story and fixing the blame for
Seattle's failure to cooperate. The
fact is that the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, which poses as an out
standing promoter of state progress
played the dog-in-the-manger role in
the apple organization movement.
When the proposition was put up to
that organization its answer was that
it refused to get back of any under
taking originated by N. B. Coffman
and the State Chamber of Commerce.
The fact that a great industry, the
annual output of which is valued at
hundred million dollars, was threat
ened with ruin was submerged in the
petty jealousies of few salaried
officials of the Seattle Chamber.
The real truth is that these men
are afraid of their jobs. They are
more interested in keeping their
names on the payroll of the Seattle
Chamber than in saving the apple in
dustry or promoting the interests of
the state as a whole. From the time
the State Chamber began to do some
of the things which the Seattle Cham
Der might have done, and should
have done, they became antagonistic.
Not only have they failed to cooper
ate but have actively sought to defeat
the efforts of and to discredit the
state organization.
This paper submits, that for the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce to re-
fuse to get back of the apple organ
ization plan, not because of any de-
feet in the plan, but because Mr..
Coffman was the moving spirit back
of it, was mighty small stuff. And
it was equally small Of Tacoma to
refuse to put up its money because
Seattle didn't.
If the Seattle Times wishes to
make its appeal for larger spirit
of cooperation on the part of Seattle
