When it comes to tiie enforcement of law against law-breaking saloons, gamblers and others who haw political influence, says the South Bend Journal, it used to be the custom for prosecuting attorneys to calmly inform anyone urging one of them to enforce such moral laws to sign a complaint and produce evidence sufficient to convict and then he would prosecute. Sometimes he would really prosecute the case anu often he would not. These same prosecuting officers would act differently when a law against property rights or murder was broken.

Then he would make the complaint himself and would rustle the evidence. There is the new fashioned kind of prosecuting attorney who thinks his oath of office means something and that he should exercise the same amount of diligence in prosecuting a saloonkeeper who breaks the law as he would a thief or murderer. We appreciate that the public are much more willing to help the prosecutor secure evidence in criminal cases involving offenses against life or property than it is in the enforcement of so called moral laws because in the latter case the whole community is injured by their infraction more than some individual and what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Besides there is the fear of retaliation on the of organized saloonkeepers which does not exist to such an extent in other criminal cases. This difference should make the prosecutor the more diligent in the enforcement of mor.il laws and the quiet, law abiding voters are watching their officers more and more to see that they do their duty.

While the republican county central committee has not been attempting to play the grand stand with a blaze of trumpets, it has been doing some effective work. President Mayar and Secretary Lemon have kept in close touch with precinct committeemen in all parts of the county, and they can be depended on to see that each candidate on the ticket has his or her interests properly looked after. The congressional candidate. Mr. La Follette.

does not deem it necessary to hold any meeting in the county, and with no opposition on the legislative ticket, there does not seem to be any disposition or incentive to hold public meetings. These meetings are always the occasion of considerable expense, and the candidates Will fortunately be relieved of this burden this year. Through the public spirit oi of our citizens, a guarantee lias been provided which will bring to Wenatchee a high class musical and entertainment course under the direction of the commercial club. It is the pride of the Wenatchee valley that it produces the best apples in the world, and in return it is fitting that Wenatchee should demand the best in things which come to her. it J.

It is worth while to give encouragement to efforts to raise the standards of taste and appreciation of things which appeal to the aesthetic sense.

The state of Washington needs a keener rivalry in political parties to keep up the zest of political campaigns than exists at this time. A strong rivalry has a tendency to stimulate the party in power to better efforts. Chief interest in this state this year centered over the naming of a United States senator, but the rivalry was not between different parties but between factions within the republican party. Since the primary it has been difficult to stimulate active political interest. In Chelan county the fact that there is no contest on the legislative ticket has a further tendency to make the campaign hike warm.

Nevertheless an active interest should be taken in the success of the republican state judiciary, congressional and countytickets. Good Films at the Gem.

THE WENATCHEE, DAILY WORLD. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1910, PHONE COMPANY HAS BIRTHDAY Organized Oct. 27, 1903, and Has Had a Prosperous Career. Today is the birthday of the Farmers' Telephone Telegraph company which was organized October 2 7th, 1903, at a meeting of growers and business men held in the old Commercial Club rooms in the Gellatly building on Mission street. At that rime the incorporation papers were read and signed up.

and thus was formed the nucleus of the prosperous system which now embraces the entire Wenatchee valley, having in operation now over 1600 phones and having lines from the Columbia river to Peshastin, also a line on the east side of the river. During the first year there were not put in operation to exceed phones and the succeeding several years were very trying ones for the company, but as the years increased the business multiplied until today the Farmers' Telephone Telegraph company is one of the strongest institutions of the valley. Z. A. Lanham was the prime mover in the organization of the company.

He was elected the first president and since that time has borne an active part in the management of the company. H. C. Littlefield the time of the organization was elected secretary and has remained that capacity ever since. Advertised Letters.

By CLARISSA MACKIE. iCopyTtght. 19)0. by i The city streets my hot nuclei Mi September sunshine Vehicles or every description were tilled with pleasure seekers, aud the sidewalks were I with spectators patiently waiting foi the passing of the Labor day p.i rade. It was lv be larger today than usual, the interest in what roorernetl the laborer having been strengthened by strikes ami other such events Roger Nelson, standing idly on rhe curbstone, watched the throngs with little frown of discontent.

All his life previous to the last two years the country boy had dreamed the day when he might seek the city, participate in her busy life, drink deep of her pleasures, rise to affluence by reason of her splendid opportunities, and he had taken his chance when it came He was by nature a tiller of the soil. He loved the feeling of warm brown "THIS IS WHEKE I earth. He was thrilled with the putting forth of new life in the spring. The ripening harvest had been a mysterious thing to him. But all through his youth there had lain the seed of a discontent with his life, the allurement of life, and at last he attained and he hated it! There was a distant blare of trumpets, the sound of a band of music.

The crowds pushed aud elbowed to and fro as the parading laborers approached. Roger watched them listlessly, line upon line of pale men. neatly dressed, white gloved, intelligent looking, with here and there a bent back or a round shoulder. They were an hour in passmg the spot where he stood. The city cheered them; it did them honor.

Were they not the very foundation of her being? Among the parading organizations was a body of clerks. Some of them were Roger's fellow employees. They regarded him coldly because he had refused to join them. He had hesitated to identify himself with them because he had hoped that something might occur to justify his leaving the city and returning home. A familiar voice behind his back startled voice from home, from Riverside.

It was a shrill, high pitched tone that he had never liked. Now in the rabble of the city streets it was like the sweetest music to his ear. He did not turn around just then. "You see that feller on the one with the white pauatna hat and the gray suit? Tell me if that isn't Roger Nelson!" Susie Blake's voice ceased, and Roger heard the soft monotone of another voice. He could not hear the words.

The back of his neck grew suddenly red as Susie's voice again broke forth: "I'm going to speak to him. What's he got to be stuck up about? Roger turned suddenly and smiled full in Susie's rouud red face. "I was sure I heard a familiar voice." he said heartily. He broke off suddenly and blushed hotly under the gaze of a pair of soft brown eyes. "Why.

hello. Amy!" he added awkwardly. "How do you do. Roger?" In a few seconds the two girls were standing on the curb and he just behind them. Susie chattered volubly from beneath her wide brimmed hat Amy Ward was silent.

Roger knew why she was silent. The last time he had talked to Amy Ward was the night before his departure for the city. He had asked her to wait for him. "I'll make a cozy home for you in the city. Amy." he had urged eagerly.

"We can go a lot and have a good time. I'll take you away from all this." His hand swept the countryside. "I don't want to be taken away. Roger." Amy had said calmly. "I love it.

and I hate the city. I want to live here all ray life. I shan't wait for you. I shall marry a farmer if I marry at ail." "Is that all you've got to say?" Roger had asked bitterly "No. I think you're very selfish to go away and leave your father with the management of the farm.

Roger gathered Amy in his arms and fell back When the horse had returned to the street the crowd swept forward once more, and Roger released Amy and faced her alone ou a deserted doorstep you." she panted softly "That's all right." muttered Roger. They stood in silence for awhile, and at last Roger turned suddenly upon the girl, who stood looking out on -street with unseeing, troubled eyes.

"You remember thai last night before I came to the city. Amy. two years demanded Roger She Hushed and nodded. right. I'm everything you called me that night." he declared say agely.

"I've been sorry that 1 said it." she murmured contritely "It's all true, every word, only I'm a bigger fool than you could believe!" His tone was bitter, and his handsome young face was creased in an anxious frown. "How long have you realized it?" asked Amy demurely. "After year and eleven months." said Roger dryly. "Oh. Roger: How could you stand it then? You must have suffered.

It took lots of grit to stay here when you were longing for home. I could never have done it." "It wasn't grit. Amy; it was pride. I hate to give in." "Give in?" repeated Amy. "You don't call that giving in.

do you? Isn't it one step on the road to success when one finds out they've made a mistake? Susie is looking for us. Let us go to her." "The dairymen from our county are coming!" squealed Susie excitedly. "Now. Roger. I'll bet you're too proud and citified to remember some of the country boys!" "I'm a country boy myself." returned Roger, with sudden decision in his toue.

"Watch me and see bow proud 1 am!" The organization of dairymen swept down the street, a tine body of white clad men. bronzed faces and hands, driving before them a half dozen beautiful Jersey cows All at once Roger raised his hat to the two girls from home and stepped down into the street, falling into line with the dairymeu. marching shoulder to shoulder with a man from home. "This is where 1 belong!" be called back heartily as be passed down the street. Late the next nfternoon Roger left the train at Riverside.

His trunk might remain until another day. Hecrossed the mad.slipping through the woods, stepping into well remembered wood roads, following them to some half defined trail that made a short cut to the farmhouse. At the clearing he paused for an instant and looked forth over the rolling acres. He noticed with a guilty pang that the five acre cornfield had been given over to weeds. The bay bad not been cut in the meadows and lay flat and tangled.

He had learned that his father had reduced his herd of cows to he could care for now with help so scarce. Roger saw them, gathered about the brook, ten Holsteins. their black and white bodies glistening in the setting sun. There came a long call from the upper pasture, and Roger's heart throbbed achingly. It was bis father calling the cows.

In the old days it had been his task to drive tbem home. The cows were stringing leisurely up the slope in response to the call. Roger cut a long alder switch, slipped off his shoes and stockings, rolled up his trousers knee high, tossed his hat in a heap with bis coat and vest and dashed after the herd The bell of the leader tinkled far ahead, and the trailers paused and turned wondering, mild eyes on the overgrown hoy with rumpled hair and happy face trudging behind them. He whirled his switch and they lumbered forward. As they neared the barnyard gate Roger's heart raced madly.

He heard his father's voice uttering a word to each cow as she passed through the gate. At last Roger himself loomed tall behind the straggling three. John Nelson stared with unbelieving eyes until Roger's strong arms went about him in a bearlike hug. "Dad. I've come home for good.

I've been wanting to come home ever since 1 went. Have you any use for a prodigal son?" Later father and son crossed the farm yard, arms about each other's shoulders. Two women stood in the kitchen doorway with radiant faces. One saw nothing save her little farmer lad come back to the lonely house. The other.

Amy Ward, saw her lover returning to labor in the fields he had once despised Both of them rejoiced that the city had given him of her bitter lessons, that he might appreciate tiie open spaces. CHESAW WANTS SNOW Light Pall Necessary for Quest After Lone Caribou. Chesaw, Oct. 27. hunters are looking Anxiously forward to a light fall of snow when several parties will hie themselves into the Mount Bonaparte country in quest of the scalp of a lone caribou which deer hunters returning from that hunting ground report is at large in the region.

It is the belief or the hunters that the animal has strayed from the caribou country in the Camp McKinney region. The Canadian mounted police are exercising considerable diligence this fall to prevent American hunters from crossing the international line in the pursuit of big game. Deer hunters between Chesaw and Molson recently wounded a deer near the line, and in its flight the animal ran across the border. Upon approaching the boundary the pursuers noticed a man approaching them from the British Columbia side, who turned out to be a provincial officer. The officer gave expression to his dignity and in turn the hunters "sassed" him back and "dared" him over onto Friday and Saturday at re Co.
