LONGER LIFE


Perhaps we haven't considered it,
feeling secure in our knowledge
that medicine and science has been
advancing yearly in controlling the
epidemics of illness that visit young
and old. But have these older resi-
dents of Kennewick stopped to real
ize the fewer contagious disease
signs that make their unhappy way
to house-fronts? Signs of diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, measles, which
warned that too many children
were not growing up. The mortal
ity rate of children between the ages
Of one to fourteen, has been cut
down so that it is only is of what
1t was 80 years ago. The afore-
mentioned diseases have been prin-
cipally the ones reduced. influenza
and pneumonia have come in for
their share Of medical attention and
If we could make living

lives for our young.

THEY'RE PERKING UP

This isn't meant to be impolite
when we repeat the very old wheeze
of every dog has his day." The
folks who are in the business Of
hair dressing, manicuring, massag-
ing and selling cosmetics, tell us
that during this next year "the
competition for men will he some
thing fierce" There is expected to
be 800 percent increase in cos
metics and hair-dos than last year.
It seems that with Uncle Sam call
ing a number of the ehgibles from
the field, the ladies are going to
have to do extra dolling up to at
tract those whose numbers haven't
come up. This is probably good
news to the trade from a business
and is no doubt equally
interesting to some of the chaps in
Kennewick, who are in line for the
feminine onslaught.

Every indication Is that the coun-
try is on the eve of great indus
trial revival. Industries that in 1888
showed large losses are showing to-
day big earnings. General Electric
has orders booked for 100000, 900
worth of turbines alone. This is
greater by $31, 000,0 900 than the high
point during the World war. West
inghouse turbine orders broke all
records recently with a back log of
SOS, 100000 to be filled. Orders for
electrical equipment are taken as
an indication of substantial indus
trial activity.

After the last election there seems
little reason longer to delay the sub
mission to the people Of consti-
tutional amendment making perm
anent the 40-1ill limitation on the
property taxation. This limitation
has been passed by the people five
times, the last one this month, and
without material opposition. It
would seem about time to place this
oft-expressed popular mandate in it's
proper place, with other fundament-
al limitation, in the state constitu-
ton.

God Bless America
One of a series of editorials under
this heading to be released by
this newspaper.
This editorial was written by:
Governor Clarence ID. Martin

I am proud that Washington
Newspaper Publishers have invites
me to contribute the first editorial il
G series they will use under TIT
heading God Bless America" fee
more deeply on the subject than
can put into expression in words fol-
I owe all that I am, and all that
have to these United States and to
my own State of Washington, OF
which am a native son.
To-day, America is still free ma
ton. It is still land of opportln-
ity, where every man may stand on
his own feet. I want to keep it that
way for my sons and for yours.
America and the State OF Wash
ington still permit every man, no
matter whether his station be high
or low, to think, speak and do as he
pleases, so long as he does not
break the laws upon which this ma
ton was founded, and which have
been necessary to keep it nation
Of free people, with the right of the
individual to life,, liberty and the
pursuit of what he deems may be his
happiness.
Where else in today's world is
there nation which has this free
dom?
Where else can we live through
the day and night without fear of
the hand of arbitrary authority on
the shoulder, the fear OF bullets or
bombs?
In my opinion the danger to Ann
erica lies not in any foe or combin-
ation of foes from without, no mat
ter how powerful. It lies only in any
possible failure of ours to appreciate
the blessings Of the government un-
der which we hive.
America did not always exist. It
was found scarcely more than a
century and a half ago. This free
dom which we enjoy was purchased
by the toll, the sacrifice of our fore
fathers in both blood and treasure.
They knew what they wanted, and
they valued it so highly that they
were willing to and did make any
sacrifice for it. It has come to us of !
the present generation without eff |
fort.
There are forces in the world to- |
day who look on us with greedy
eyes. They would make vassals of |
us, and take our resources. They
are entirely without conjunction.
We will keep America as it is and
continue to enjoy its blessing, only
II we appreciate what these bless
1ngs mean, and by our conduct and
our character deserve them. AS a
united people, with the resolve and
of the founders of this
nation, We will be uncomfortable.
Without that appreciation we may |
nave two ocean naval strength, a |
great Army, but they would mean
little. We have examples of nations
with great armies, but who were |
SICK at heart, whose character had
become decadent.
