local store in Kennewick, following
study of the merchants advertising
in the paper. This lady saved money
for herself, obtained the merchandise
she wanted, and made the investment
in advertising space by the merchant
profitable to him. The advertising
of the goods and the purchase OF
those goods, if the transaction IS
properly done, is an action OF value
to all parties concerned, without IN
the least increasing the price of-the
goods to the buyer.
The Kennewick merchant cannot
talk across the counter to every pros
pective buyer in the county. 1t is a
physical impossibility. When he buys
advertising space in the Courler-Re-
porter he is taking the next best
method of reaching you. His adver-
tisements are his talks to you across
the counter" Give him chance on
his advertising investment.

GIVING THANKS

THE story Of the landing Of our
= Pilgrim fathers and the hardships
they endured in establishing col
ony in the new world is too old to
need repeating. But now that we are
about to observe holiday established
by them, we can all well afford to
think about the true significance of
the day, for a moment at least.
We should pause between the time
we purchase the Thanksgiving tur-
key and the hour when we set down
to indulge our appetites to the limit,
to recall the sacrifices upon which
our society is built. The great task
Of winning great wilderness and
Transforming it into the very center
of civilization cost thousands of
lives and brought untold misery and
hardships. Today as a result we are
able to enjoy luxuries that kings of
the time of our Puritan fathers could
not hope to have. We are indeed the
most fortunate race of humans that
the sun has ever shown upon, and We
have reason to give thanks to those
who went before and to the kindly
providence that he has seen fit to en-
dow us with the greatest comfort and
happiness that any race has been able
to enjoy.

to figure out that government en-
ployes, whose wages and salaries !ie

at is boring from within that is
more insidious than any political fight
ever undertaken" he said. t'The ex-
tent to which the federal government
is Sin business has more than doubled
within the last five years so that now
at least one person out Of every elev-
en- is government employe.
ut is the purpose of the Associa-
ton of General Contractors of Amer
lea to bring to the attention of the
people of the country the great dan
ger which is menacing the indus
tries and then, by legislation, to
endeavor to curb the growing tend
ency of government to enter into
business.
While speak generally of the
federal government, the same is APP
plicable to state and municipal gov
ernments. This policy has gained
such a foothold in the last few years
that some of the states are doing all
their public work by day labor
Powerful political machines and
tremendous waste inevitably creep in
where public work is carried on by
officials without the check of compe-
titive bidding which acts as brake
pn careless expenditures of public
funds.

the interest already being shown over
the 1923 campaign.
United States Senator Wesley L.
Jones is going to have hard sleddlng
next summer. This is the concensus
of opinion among the political wise
acres around the legislative halls.
Whether or not he will have opposi-
tioon strong enough to force the issue
at the primaries is not certain at
this time. Efforts are being made to
bring into the race Justice Kenneth
Mackinstosh of the state supreme
court, and if this is done, Senator
Jones faces a hard battle.
The session has developed q
strong contender for the seat held by
United States Senator Clarence c.
Dill in the person Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor w. Lon johnson. Whether
johnson wants to run is uncertain
His friends say that he can be en-
'ticed into the race. One thing is posi-
tive, he doesn't want to be governor
but would look with friendly eyes
upon seat in the United States

TTARTLEY,s Recommendation that

HARTLEY'S recommendation that
II single board have charge OF
the affairs of all the higher educa-
tional institutions of the state has
raised an awful holler. They say the
plan isn't workable, that it will be
impossible to get members to act,
with such an amount of detail, and
several other plausible reasons. Per-
haps it is impossible, but the least
the plan can do will be to stop the
duplication of courses at the various
institutions. If the suggestion, work
able or not, can accomplish this end,
the governor will have made one ire
mendous saving in the biggest slice
of our tax dollar.

GOVERNOR HARTLEY's proposal

GOVERNOR HARTLEY'S proposal
N to cut the state expenditures for
roads half in two doesn't find favor
in this section of the state. Now that
the west side of the mountains is
fairly we'll paved, with the people Of
the east side paying their share OF
the cost cheerfully, with the expecta-
ton Of getting theirs later, the pro-
position, coming at this time, sounds
unfair. AS pointed out in an article
in last weeks issue of this paper, we
paw in operating costs, more for bad
roads than good roads would cost.
We're entitled to paved roads on this
side, we want them and are willing to
pay for them. The governor knows it
too. And so does A. R.

The government should be kept out

The government should be kept out
of all business. Private individuals
and the private industries which pay
the taxes to maintain government,
should do the work for the govern

of business in which they are en-
gagged. General Marshall has sounded
timely note of warning.

N. Y. Police Guard
Mystery Person
From Dock to Hotel

New York, Nov. 1S.-(AP)-
Twenty-six detectives and uniformed
policemen today officiated at the
birth of New York's newest mystery.
In close ranks, as close as the auto
mobiles and motorcycles would per-
nit, they escorted from the Hobo
ken dock of the North German Lloyd
liner Berlin to the Hotel Vanderbilt
parsonage they had been ordered
to protect against possible assault.
They knew nothing about him save
that he merited larger police es-
cort than any. other visitor since the
Prince of Wales and King Albert
of the Belgians.
At the Vanderbilt the parsonage
was more communicative. Having
been saved from the undivulged
danger. he warmed up to interview
ers and announced, first, that he was
Rachid Montran Pasha, an Arabian
second. that the custom agents had
opened his luggage labelled prince
Rajah H. and had appraised his col
lection Of old paintings, furniture
and rare jewels at $5,000,000: and
third, that he would offer his OBJ
jects of art for sale to any one hav-
ing good American money.
AS he bowed his callers out with
oriental finesse, he requested to be
remembered to all who had con-
tributed towards making his Ameri-
oan debut SO noteworthy and the
only part of the mystery that re-
NAMED unsolved was how he had
convinced police headquarters that
an antique dealer needed police
escort.
