TAKE YOUR CHOICE

On the occasion Of Premier Mus
solini's recent visit to Herr Hitler in
Germany the Italian dictator trav-
eled in an armored car along tracks
that had been cleared for "a hours
between Rome and the Austrian bor-
der, and guarded by soldiers sta
toned every hundred yards along
the entire route. During that same
week the President of the u. S. tour
ed Yellowstone park in an open car,
unattended by any guard except his
usual secret service followers, and
watched with others while his lit
tie granddaughter fed sugar to
bears begging on the roadside. Is it
necessary to point out to citizens
of Kennewick the lesson contained
in these two extremes? We dwell in
peace and goodwill in our democ-
racy, in strange contrast to the per-
lis continually surrounding the au-
tocratic demagogs of the Old World.
There's nothing to prevent any dis
satisfied citizen from moving to
Europe if he wants to. But it would
be a good idea for him to first read
this-and then take his choice.

A SIMPLE PROTECTION


How often has the average letter.
writer wondered, when he failed to
receive an answer to his letter, if it
was properly addressed, or if it real
ly reached the party for whom it
was intended? Maybe, too, it con-
tanned something of value, some
thing he would very much like to
have back in case the party address
ed did not receive it. And yet all
such worries are simply and easily
avoided. The use of printed return
cards or, in lieu of this your name
and address written in the upper
left-hand corner of the envelope will
insure its return in the event the
address is wrong, the party has
moved or it cannot be delivered for
any other reason. When he finds
he can't deliver it properly, Uncle
Sam will return it to you-providing
your name and address is on the
envelope. This day in time when
printed stationery is cheaper than
blank paper and envelopes used to
be 1t is unwise to be without it. It
is your one and only insurance
against worry over whether your
letters reach their destination or
not. And it is your only way of
being sure that YOU will get back
whatever valuables are in the let
ter in case it cannot be delivered.
Use printed envelopes.

In 1888 we will vote on a con-

tax relieve us Of some present tax
burden, or would it just be "anoth-
err tax?
It IS reported that income for
1887 from the State Revenue Act
is "a percent more than the prev

parently trying to catch up with the
appropriations made by the last
