worn by his family and most Of the
implements used on his farm came
from mail-order houses. The mer-

logue buying, and with them work.
ing against him the voters failed
to give him their support. The
mechants in Kennewick must CO.
operate with one another in their

They must advertise to tell him so.

WE1GHTY QUESTIONS

Everytime a group Of women ga
ther there seems to arise the dis
cussion of weights and measure
ments. They can start out with an
election of officers, but they usual
ly wind up with diets and doing
without. Seems that more space in
reading matter is given over to the
ways of reducing than to any 9TH
er subject, excluding politics and
presidents. And there is many a
Kennewick man who wishes his wo-
men folk had never heard the word
diet, that is if he has to suffer
along with them on the prescribed
meal. Hungary is famous as one
of the most hospitable countries in
the entire world. They even went
so far, in the old days, to weigh a
guest when he arrived for a visit,
and again when he departed in or
der to see if he hard gained weight
on their hospitality. Today it might
be most embarrassing moment for
a hostess as it might reflect on her
cooking, but more likely, or her
calories. Some local wit will say,
why need it be Hungary?

AS we sit down to the table on

and pears, cherries, jams and jel-
lies that have been preserved for us
during the hot summer months by
the many housewives. how many Of
us are apt to recall the day she
stood over the hot stove in stuffy
kitchen getting these foods put
up?" A summer job for winter
pleasure, that usually goes on, year
after year, with not much praise
being handed out to the woman
who is looking after our future ap-
petites. While some Of us sought
the cool spots, the shade and the
breeze, we could get a man-sized

VOTE ON SEPT. Is X. a.G
Incompetent legislators result
from the work of organized, ag-
gressive minorities. Their success
is made possible by the mass politi-
cal laziness Of the unorganized ma
jority. III, "
The record of each representative
at past legislative sessions is now
written history. Practically all the
poor legislation from which the peo-
pie have suffered has been due to
our political laziness. All Of our
incompetent and "ism- chasing leg
islators owe their nomination to
minority groups, organized and dis
ciplined to take advantage of this
lack of political interest on the part
of the majority. -. ~.
No candidate could be nominated
by the Washington Commonwealth
Federation, the Communist party
or any other radical group If the
substantial, sound-thinking part Of
our people could be aroused to the
Importance Of the Primary Election
on September 18th.
If we are tired of misrepresenta-
ton, If we believe the people of the
state deserve better representation
at Olympia, if we want sane, eco
nomical government, then we will
actively interest ourselves in the
primary election.
In Yakima County your represent
atives were nominated with only IL
percent of the voters; in Island and
Snohomish Counties by percent Of
the voters; in King, Spokane and
Pierce, in many instances, by less
than 10 percent Of the voters, and in
practically every district in the state
with a very small part Of the regis
tered voters.
The citizens of the state permit
ted very small group, organized
for selfish purposes dangerous to
our future, to name men who made
our laws and distributed two hun
dred million dollars Of tax money
at the 1897 session. These groups
are still intent on securing by legis-
lation a greater share Of the pro-
duction of the industrious and fru-
gal-they are determined to wreck
the state If necessary to secure a
larger part Of your livelihood and
your savings.
If we fail to take an interest in
the primary election on September
- they will succeed.
II we get out and work for cand-
idates who have standing in our
community, and urge every other
producers in our neighborhood to
do the same thing, we can send leg
islators to Olympia who will prop
erly represent the thrifty, working
part Of our population.

BUS LINES WRANGLE
ABOUT FRANCHISES
Greyhound Objects to Par

boro to Winston
Daily Dispatch Bureau.

Raleigh. Jan. 5.-The tenacity with
which a bus line will hang on to an
exclusive franchise and the bitterness
of battle over such a privilege were
wildly illustrated here this week at
hearing before Utility Commissioner
Stanley Winborne on the application
of w. l.. Marshall for a franchise be-
tween Wadesboro and Winston-Salem.
Marshall, it appeared, was fronting
for the Queen City Bus Lines in his
application. Opposition, and plenty of
it, developed from the Greyhound
Lines present operators of bus line
between the Arson and Forsyth coun-
ty seats.
Both sides were represented by
high-powered lawyers, Marshall hy
State Senator Hoyt Patrick Taylor,
of Wadesboro; the Greyhound people
by l. M. Bailey, of Raleigh. Both are
widely noted attorneys.
Both sides brought along what
might be termed cheering sections IN
the parlance of college athletlcs,
though, of course, there were no cheer
leaders to go through the contort1ons
which so delight football crowds.
Nevertheless, proponents of the Mar
shall application, including num-
Der of ladies, packed one side OF the
hearing room, and opponents jammed
into the opposite side.
There was much of the. air of the
sensational criminal trial in the mat
ter of examining witnesses. At one
stage Mr.. Bailey admitted" that a
witness-one Quattlebaum, who is by
wav of being a Queen City Coach Of
ficial-"can answer yes or no.. The
witness equally vigorously commended
he couldn't.
At another point Mr.. Bailey holly
pressed the witness to answer nv
question, to which Mr.. @ countered
with the remark that he would be
glad. to do so IF he'll tell me which of
