TWENTY YEARS AGO-ls1s

The Washington state good roads
association had recognized the need
OF bridge across the Columbia
river and Seattle engineers had
asked the commissioners permission
to construct toll highway bridge
between here and Pasco.
The Kennewick schools opened
the previous Monday with q to-
tai enrolment Of COZ, which was the
largest attendance in the history
of the district. At the Washington
building there were 800 pupils which
was 60 more than the past year.
The Women's club and the Bust
ness Girls contributed $51.10, the
proceeds from the benefit dance, to
the park fund.
Frank Peter arrived from Mime
sofa to visit with his father, George
A. Peter.
Materials were on the way to
Kennewick for the new steel bridge

The German immigration quota
In this country is filled for eleven
years to come. Hungary has an an
nual quota of 800 and 10000 have
applied for entrance into the Unit
ed States. P0lands quota is 5000,
but $4,000 have applied. The popu-
larity of our type of government
should be hint to dictators seek
ing to establish a world power. If
the bars were once let down in this
country it would drain many Euro
pean nations of their population in
six months.

We are opposed to the government
entering private business, electric
power or any other type of business.
The governments contention that
power companies cannot be controll-
ed is not true. The same means are
available to control a measure Of
privilege on the part of the power
companies that are available to cor
rect any other wrong. There is no
more reason that the government
should get into the power business
than there is that it should get into
the grocery business and the cloth
ing business. Governments func-
ton should continue to be to pro-
vide equal opportunity to all classes
OF business. The entrance of gov
eminent into business will spell the
end OF private enterprise in this
country.

President Roosevelt has announce
ed that if a conservative is nomin-
ated ne will not support the party.
we have no idea that either party
Will nominate known conservative.
A known conservative could not be
elected by either party. The coun-
try IS In no food for conservatism,
and, until conditions change will
nave none OF it. The big job be-
tore the leadership Of the country
is getting the idle back to work in
private employment. Whoever can
show that he has a workable plan
TO do this stands a good chance of
being elected.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

You may have forgotten the old
horse and buggy days, and your
children may never have ridden in
one, but there are still folks who
remember and revere the bygone
days. There gather in Flint, Michi-
gan a group of 200 men who used to
build buggies in that city. They pay
tribute to their aged products. To-
day this same city is famous for its
automobile manufacture and many
of these 200 men are occupying high
positions in the motor industry.
But they meet to laud the high
wheeled carriage with its shining
trappings that rolled along behind
a wen-groomed horse who was
proud to transport such magnifi-
cience. It is a far cry from buggy
days in Flint to auto days in the
same city.

The Hatch law will be a most diff
ficult law to enforce. When the
Democrats are in power they are
not going to prosecute any of their
number who violates one of the pro-
visions of the law and when the Re-
publicans are in power they will
follow a similar course. But If a
Democrat is holding an office UNI
der a Republican administration, or
a Republican is holding an office
under Democratic administration
they will have to walk mighty
straight, just the same as they had
to do before the Hatch law was
passed.

The Free City of Danzig which is
the center of contention in Europe
today lies at the north of the Polish
Corridor on the Baltic sea. The
Polish Corridor is a narrow strip Of
land lying between Germany and
East Prussia. It was formerly Ger
man territory taken from Germany
under the Treaty of Versailles after
the World war. The purpose at the
time the treaty was made was to
afford Poland an outlet into the
Baltic without which she would
have no harbor or outlet except thru
the territory of her neighbors. The
city Of Danzig by the Treaty Of
Versailles was placed under the
protection of the League OF Ma
tons and made unit of the Polish
Customs Administration. It has
400, 900 population, 80 percent of
whom are Germans. The issue in
volved IS whether this territory
should remain free and allow Po-
land an outlet to the Baltic sea or
whether it should be given back to
Germany. The Poles are firm in
the demand that the status Of the
city shall not be changed, but Po-
land fears that If Germany is grant
ed the right of way across the Corri-
dor that is being demanded, that an
entering wedge will have been driven
to take the whole Of the Corridor
from Poland and completely isolate
her. Naturally Poland will resist
as far as possible the surrender ID
the Corridor.

More thar, ever today men and
women shop through the advertis-
ing In their newspapers. Time was
when women would spend hours
shopping for dress pattern or some
equally trifling thing. They don't
do that any more. They read the
advertisements and do their shop
ping through the columns Of the
newspaper. More than ever before
advertising is the great selling force
In this country.

Larry Beckett, 32-year- Pat

Catapulted 20-feet when his V-8

on turn, Beckett sustained a severe
cerebral conclusion and was un-
conscious two hours. X-rays failed
to reveal more serious injury, and
barring unforeseen complications he
should be back on his feet within
two weeks. The injured driver was

Legal Bout Over Coin
Follows Paychek's
Ring Triumph
StrickIond's Conqueror
Violated Agreement,
Asserts Promoter
By the Associated Press


DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 9.-In-
stead of great rejoicing, the $21,-
500 paid by hinterland customers
to see Johnny Paychek whip
Maurice Strickland has touched off
legal battle over how the money
shall be divided.
Paychek, who was on a boxing
card that drew $500 here Is months
ago, evened the score with Strick-
land by outpointing the New Zea-
lander in a 10-round heavyweight
scrap here last night before $4,000
fans, the largest boxing crowd in
Iowa history. Paychek weighed
1922; Strickland, 191.
Strickland defeated Paychek here
two months ago to break the for
mer bellhops victory string at %.
Last night Johnnys busy left jab
and newly developed right hand
pounded out a clear-cut decision
over the Anzac in the opinion of
neWspapermen at the ringside.
Promoter Pinkie George filed a
$4,000 damage suit against Pay
chek after Harold Steinman, the
fighters manager, threatened to call
off the fight unless a payment of
$4,000 was made. George asserted
the original agreement called for a
30 per cent split for Paychek
After an all-day wrangle, a truce
ceived $4,000 cash before the fight
with an additional payment of un-
known amount to be made later.
Strickland received 2712 per cent
of the gate.

stuck West in the pasture again.
Since then nobody has been able
to get him out. He's been at bat
18 times, scored three runs, made
nine hits and batted across five
runs for a 500 average. Yesterday
he twice was robbed by Yankee
outfielders, who fastened themselves
onto line drives off his bat. Charley
Keller made phenomenal catch
off him.
Jimmy Is Newest Favorite.
Bloodworth is the new favorite of
local fans, judging by the actions
of the 10000 who turned out yes
terday and set new seasonal record
for weekday attendance. Jimmy has
been one of the big reasons why
the Mats are as hot as the weather.
Best known as a minor-league hitter
of parts, Jimmy has remained to
astonish the natives with his field
ing.
The youngster made two plays
yesterday that belonged in the
books. He took a hit away from
Red Rolfe in the fifth inning and
in the sixth he made an "im-
possible" stab and throw at the
expense of Dickey to chill Yankee
rally. This play possibly meant the
ball game.
At bat the cocky recruit from
Springfield hasn't been a drawback,
exactly. During the eight-game
winning streak he has helped from
time to time with IA hits in 35
times at bat, four runs scored and
six batted across. His average over
this period is 400, which is pretty
good in the Florida State League.
