THE grange has and gone and the community
settled down to the hmdrum of busy In look
Ing back at such convention might be well to take stock
OF the effect of such meetings and at the time take
view OF ourselves while memory holds the details of such
an affair 1t might profit us on future occasions.
Don't think for minute that we scoding, for on
the whole feel the grangers highly pleased with
their treatment here and further convinced that the
impressions made for this section bound to reflect
advantage for years to Our point is merely thsto
put this convention the strain fell too heavily the
few and not enough the community at large Of course
realize this condition is bound to exist to extent in
every community but does that very few took
lot of hard punishment to make the meeting
To those whose work financial aid contributed
this successful meeting might be said that such gatherings
held in vain, and especially is this true when
opportunity given to show the farmers of the state what
be accomplished agricultural lines in the Kennewck
district Anyone who took the trouble to get acquainted with
the visitors must admit that the gangers profoundly
impressed with early and the diversity of
ducton. ~. *sa.-a = .s..#. ..
is true the grange entertainment cost money and
but it also true that thousands of prospective settlers
will hear of the many advantages of this valley To those
who wish to this bigger and better community in which
to i've the grange meeting must then appear affair
worth while.
WE SHOULD been surprised if Benton county re
w pubicans had not put Mark Mouton the head of
their delegation to the state convention Mr. MoultOn
of such prominence county that no
in politics, in public undertakings of any kind
think of overlooking him. Other snowy men got more
publicity out of the last legislative session than Mouton
but not of them had various enter
prises of that body Mouton ought to be in congress- He
plenty big enough for the United States senate It
fortunate that under direct primary system of nominal
ing public officials the Of getting the ticket of his
party great that this competent citizen afford
to be candidate-Yakima Republic.
OCAL residents often become used that
Lthey fail to realize their value Kennewick most
glowing example is the Methodist church We realize it is
jewel for community of size and admire the beau
tuy kept lawn and shrubery, and always proud
show this edifce to visitors.
This church however more than house of worship
to Kennewick 1t commercial asset realize this asset
ask yourself what would have happened to the bridge cee
bration the grange meeting without this church.

WE HAVE lately observed most peculiar phenomenon
w politics. We have found quite sprinkling Of local
voters who believe everything that Gov Hartley says yet
when they discuss Moton most of them believe would be
calamity he failed to again this county and state
in the legislature Possibly these voters with dual allegiance
look upon politics much they would golf and hope
good by both Mouon and Hartley But whatever the
mental which support of both these
Mark Moton should feel highly compimented because
warm support by men who disagree with him.
TIP IN Wenachee they going after the aphis with
~ static electricity People resort to all sorts schemes
nowadays to work We hope the Wenatchee scheme will
turn out all right but will not be surprised if they find
that after all the odfashoned Yakima plan of sending the
hired out to give the aphs swift kick from behind
and thereby sodge him from his roostng place turns out
to be better-Yakima Republic.
