WE ARE glad to see the movement

WE ARE glad to see the movement
w under way to get the various
communities up and down the valley
together on the completion of the
Yakima Irrigation project. This is a
big undertaking, but it is not too big
for our people. It ought to be pushed
Just as hard and fast as possible. We
should set mark Of time in the
future for the completion of the pro-
iect and we should hammer away un-
til we have accomplished our purpose
It will take hard work and not m
considerable sum Of money to do what
is in mind, but that is no reason why
we should hesitate. A proposition is
before us of almost doubling our pc.
pulation, our business and our collec.
tive wealth. All we need to do tx
reach the desired end is to get busy
and help ourselves as other commun'
tiles do. We have every argument il
favor Of the speedy completion OF thu
Yakima project, and none can b
found which can be used against it,.

SLOGANS

NOWHERE else on earth has the
N slogan or catch-phrase reached as
high stage Of development as in the
United States. By the same token,
the slogan does not play as consid-
cradle a part in the commercial, po-
litical and civic life Of other people
as it does of the American:
None will deny the value of the
cloth-phrase in national advertising
and even in local commercialism. Ev-
erybody knows to what particular
product you refer when you say "Ba-
bies cry for it, There's always a
picture ahead" ellis Masters Voice, =
and many other similar advertising
slogans. In fact, few nationally known
products are not sold under copy
righted trade-phrase. Do you know Of
an automobile, from the cheapest to
the most formidably priced, that can
not be singled out by some slogan?
To think of one would be as difficult
as finding sloganless soap or city
It is irrefutable that slogans sell
where nothing else will, but it would
be unjust to the public to say that
it takes the catch-phrases at THEN
word. Barnum annually proclaimed
| his circus as digger and better thar
ever" and his successors are emulat
ing him today, but nobody goes t.
the circus just because of this "slight
exaggeration." The catch-phrase o.
advertising slogan is as much par
of American business methods as ad
vertising itself. There is nothing il
legitimate or reprehensive in the in
stitution, but it's power as salesma,
, is almost supernatural.

TIME TO AWAKEN

TN developing a program under the
Z general title, "The Awakening Of
Washington" the Washington Press
Association is performing high public
service that is much needed in this
state. AS we understand it the CAM
paign will be carried on in the news
and editorial columns Of newspapers,
and the purpose will be to awaken
the people of Washington to the pos
sibilities of its future.
AS stated by Fred w. Kennedy,
manager Of the press association, the
possibilities cannot be realized until
there is closer cooperation among
state units; friendly dealing with each
other cultivated; personalities and
sectional lines forgotten; petty jeal-
ousies overcome; political rivalry
curbed and unfavorable publicity eli
minated.
eve must teach our people loyalty
to the state, and that selfish motives
to build communities at the sacrifice
of the state cannot erect a common
wealth, because one community can
not exist without, or outgrow the
state"
The Bulletin has faith in this pro-
gram and in the ability of Mr.. Ken
nedy and the press association to put
it over. To attain the goal, however,
it will be necessary to have faith III
the work and general cooperation
among civic leaders. Harmony must
prevail and all efforts bent toward
one objective. Provincialism mus
give way to broad interest in the
common welfare of all communities
in the state.
The people Of Washington mes
walk hand in hand thru the forest o.
doubts and fears, jealousies and sus.
picions, into the sunshine Of mutua
trust and assistance, if they are t
make the most of their opportunitie
and fulfill their aspiration to max
the "Charmed Land" really and trul,
the "Land of Greater Chance. Wal

RESPECT FOR LAW

THE late war probably has had as
= much affect on the present disre-
spect for law and order as any one
single thing. Due to the universal
draft law, thousands of men were
jerked from peaceful surroundings
and projected into strife. Men who
had never been out of the county
where they were born, suddenly found
themselves wandering the streets OF
Europe, and other men whose very
nature rebelled at the thot Of strife,
woke up in front line trenches.
This tremendous overturning of the
human element of the nation resulted
in an abandoning of rules and regula-
tions. If you were to be drowned to-
morrow in submarine attack why
not spend today in enjoying all of the
freedom which at that moment might
appease the eye or excite the senses
Values were altered, important ideals
lost their position in the scheme Of
life. Life itself changed and millions
of men who would not have thot ser
iously of death for another fort,
years were suddenly faced with tn,
necessity of deciding what the mex
world held for them.
This strain on the nervous system
of the nations has resulted in a sens
Of responsibility. This is gradual
disappearing as the war fades into
forgotten past. In time it will be re

duced to a minimum and then pass
altogether. In the meantime its effect
on the ability Of the citizenship to be
law-abiding must be taken into ac-
count and the apparent hysteria dis
counted Just that much.

If the American people ever needed fair
minded and judicial attitude, willingness to
weigh facts without preconceptions and prejudices,
prohibition, which congress has been investigating
during recent days.
1t is very hard for people to approach such a
question without closed minds. Whatever our per-
scnal position, we all have a strong tendency to
think in one particular way. That leads US when
consciously desire to interpret those facts accord
ing to our previous opinion So the result will be
that the great majority of people who have been
reading the results of that investigation will finish
doing with the same opinions they had before
If people hear facts that seem to operate
against the theory they have been holding, they
will be inclined to minimize those facts and think
they are incorrect, not of very much weight
But if they hear something that seems to bolster
up their previously formed point of view, then
they do not analyze it much, but promptly accept
it gospel truth
Here is largely new question that ought to
be taken up and studied in the most thorough way.
Inc american people nave begun on great ex-
pertinent in the hopes of doing away with great
evil The results of that experiment can not be
wholly determined from peoples impressions but
must be studied scientifically, as business men
would decide the merits of some financial policy
they had been trying out. We should be as willing
to anayze the results impartialy as business man
is when he figures out how line of policy
has been operating. And people should be govern
ed by considerations to what is good for the ma
ton, rather than how it affects them personally

LATE CoMERs

Conductor Stowkowski, leader of the famous
Philadelphia orchestra, gave at recent concert an
ironical admonition to the late of his
audiences, by having his players drift onto the stage
III an irregular way and leave if they got tired
of playing Some of the audience said to be
offended, but probably they now see that these
celebrated performers had reason for annoyance.
The way people will drift in late to theatrical
and musical performances moving picture theatres,
lectures, church services etc, is very disturbing.
Often in theatre can not get the drift of the
play for Is or 90 minutes, until the late Corners
are seated and get adjusted and quoted down
which is very irritating to those who have gotten
out of breath trying to get there time
Such tardy habits are disrespectful to the peo-
pie who prepare these entertainments and services,
and they disturb the comfort of the punctua folks
who get there promptly.

people would stay at home in their easy chairs and

stead Of troubling to 90 to church. Also they would
avoid the collection plate that way.
Many people have learned through the radio
that church services are not what they thought
They had looked at them as mournful affairs. but
they find that they are center Of hope and useful
ideas Many Of them are asking why they have
to isolate themselves from this center Of courage
and resolve. when the doors are open and some

CRIME AND CITIZENSHIP

President Coolidge, speaking to the congress
of the Daughters of the American Revolution, held
that crime bad as it is, is not so serious danger
as lack of interest in citizenship, Only small
fraction of the people fools enough to be
criminals, but millions are foolish enough to go to
sleep while dangers menace in political chan
nels.
For every dollar that we lose through burglars
and robbers, we lose many dollars in the United
States because of the waste of public money. And
we lose much if the government is not alert
to remedy the evils that menace the land.
