SPECIAL SESSION IF NECESSARY.
High tension seems to be the order of the day in the senate. It
would seem that the fight over the local option bill was tame in com
parison with the fight over the appointment of an investigating com
mittee to probe the administration of some of the state offices. If the
senate rides rough shod over the popular demand for an investigation
of the Schively. Nichols and Ross combine, it will be recreant to its
duty, and Governor Hay will have the support of the better element
of the state if he decides to call a special session of the legislature to
consider this vital question. It is now too late for the senate to resist
longer the demand for an investigation. The good reputation of the
state is at stake and the people of Washington will not rest satisfied
with the imputation of dishonesty spread broadcast in respect to the
administration of state offices.
WASHINGTON THEN AND NOW.
If Harriet Martineau and Charles Dickens could have returned from
the other world and passed the last three or four days in Washington,
they would have been lost in amazement had they recalled their im
pressions and prophecies of 7<> years ago. .Miss Martineau visited
America in 1835 and 1836, and wrote her impressions of the city and
its people. It was the last year of the administration of Andrew Jack
son, when Martin Van Buren was vice president and James K. Polk
speaker of the hous<». Of Washington she wrote:
"The city is a grand mistake. Its only attraction is the seat of gov
ernment, and it is thought it will not long continue to be so. * * *
The city itself is unlike any other that ever was seen, straggling out
hither and thither, with a small house or two a quarter of a mile from
any other; so that in making calls in the city we had to cross ditches
and stiles and walk alternately on grass and pavement, and strike
across a field to reach a street. * * * Then there was the society,
singularly compounded from the largest variety of elements —foreign
ambassadors, the American government, members of congress, from
Clay and Webster down to Davy Crockett; Benton, of Missouri, and
Cuthbert, with the fresh Irish brogue, from Georgia: flippant young
belles, and pious wives dutifully attending their husbands and groaning
over the frivolities of the place; grave judges, saucy travelers, pert
newspaper reporters, melancholy Indian chiefs, and timid New Eng
land ladies trembling on the verge of the vortex. All this was wholly
unlike anything that is to be seen in any other city in the world; for
all these are mixed up together in daily intercourse like the higher
circle of a little village, and there is nothing else."
Six years later Charles Dickens spent some weeks in Washington.
See what he had to say of it:
"It is sometimes called the 'City of Magnificent Distances,' but it
might, with greater propriety, be termed the 'City of Magnificent In
tentions/ for it is only on taking a bird's-eye view of it from the top
of the capitol that one can at all comprehend the vast designs of its
projector, an aspiring Frenchman. Spacious avenues that begin in
nothing and lead to nowhere ; streets miles long, that only want houses,
roads and inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be
complete, and ornaments of great thoroughfares which only lack great
thoroughfares to ornament—are its leading features. One might fancy
the season over, and most of the houses gone out of town forever with
their masters. To the admirers of cities it is a Barmecide feast, a
pleasant field for the imagination to rove in, a monument raised to a
deceased project, with not even a legible inscription to record its de
parted greatness. Such as it is it is likely to remain."
Martineau and Dickens have gone; Washington has risen in great
ness and wealth with the growth of the nation. The ambitious designs
of the Father of His Country, long ridiculed, were none too ambitious.
Yesterday's enormous crowds tested the capacity of the "great thor
oughfares" which Dickens saw in the making. Washington is no
longer a Barmecide feast, but the pride of all Americans. May it grow
grander and more beautiful as the country grows, and on every in
auguration day may it be as crowded with patriotic, happy Americans
as it was yesterday!— The Post.

THE WENATCHEE DAILY WORLD, WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1909.
NOTES OF THE NORTHWEST
Seattle. March 10—Old timers who
have followed in the wake of expo
sitions for the past thirty years and
who have studied conditions that fol
low in an exposition city will tell you
that every city and hamlet in the
state of Washington will benefit just
as much if not more than Seattle as
a result of the coming Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition.
"Take this from me," said an old
exposition mafi to a local reporter,
"the people w r ho attend expositions
are not looking for homes in the city
where the exposition is held. School
teachers, farmers, immigrants and
homeseekers may be depended upon
to attend expositions held in the
west. Such people do not locate in
the large city. They want an acre
or two of ground in the suburbs or
the farming districts, or in some
small but pretty town close to the
big commercial centers. They have
had all they want of the big city, and
are tired of it; they want to join
hands with the small community.
The exposition people are now be
ginning to get a line on the people
who expect to come to the exposition
this summer, and you may count up
on it that the northwest will have
as many guests this summer as it can
conveniently handle. They are com
ing by the hundreds from the mid
dle west and they expect to remain
in the country until they have thor
oughly explored it. Lots of them will
never go back, others will return only
to prepare to move west for good.
The feeling is general in Seattle
that fruit lands and logged off lands
are going to come in for more than
their share of recognition from the
visitors to the exposition. Every
dealer in these two classes of prop
erty is preparing to do a land office
'business.
Dispatches from Washington city
Vindicate that President Taft will set
itle the new federal judgeship in this
'state to suit himself and he will
'not give much consideration to the
i recommendations of the senators
' from this state unless said recom
jmendations meet his hearty approval.
President Taft was a member of the
federal bench for many years and
!he proposes to see that the judiciary
under his administration is of the
highest type. He has half a dozen
lawyers in his cabinet, and he will
jlay all matters pertaining to federal
judgeships before them. No man
I will be appointed to the bench un
| less he can nasjs muster, and he will
have to approach a high standard in
! order to come off with any honors.
|This is in substance the news that
i comes from Washington. Walter
Clark, correspondent of the Post-In
telligencer at the national capitol,
sends it, and it may therefore be re
garded as reliable.
The presence in Seattle of one of
the members of the rich Guggenheim
family has caused a little flurry in
business and social circles. M. Rob
ert Guggenheim is his name, and be
is one of the famous family that has
a corner on the copper of the world.
Young Mr. Guggenheim is bringing
additional fame to the family by ar
ranging to pay the expenses of an
automobile race across the continent
next summer, the race to start at
New York and finish at the A.-V.-P.
exposition grounds. It is said the
expense of this race will be about
$10,000 and Mr. Guggenheim has
said that he will pay for it all. As
the family is supposed to be worth
about $100,000,000 this expense will
not put any crimp in the family for
tune.
Her Prayer Answered.
Four-year-old Helen wished to get
into the playroom, but the gate which
\ was placed at the door to keep her
baby brother in was locked. She
tried hard to climb over It, when at
: last her mother heard her say:
"Dear God, please help me get
over this gate." Just then she tum
bled over it. and said, "Never mind;
■ I got over myselF."

Her Dream Furs True.
She was a pretty child, with an in
j nate love of the beautiful evidently,
for she stood for several minutes in
the Grand Central station gazing
raptly at a set of beautiful white fox
; furs worn by a woman passenger in
the waiting room. Finally, the lit
tle girl's admiration for the beautiful
furs overcame her timidity, and im
pulsively she ran up to the woman.
"Oh," she cried, reaching up and
patting the furs softly, "aren't they
beautiful?"
Then, with unconscious pathos:
"Those are what I asked Santa
Clans to bring me for Christmas, but
these are what I got," holding up in
contrast her own cheap, but useful
set of gray squirrel. "But," she add
ed cheerfully, "I don't suppose white
furs would do for me every day,
would they?"
"No," replied the wearer of the
white furs, smiling down on the
child: "to wear furs like this you
must really have two sets."
And as the woman patted the
child's cheek and departed for her
train the little girl watched her go,
flushed and smiling, content to have
touched her ideal, just once.—New
York Times.
Opposition Makes Interesting Elec-;
tion.
Leavenworth, March 6. 1909.
Howlings of a few disgruntled in
divldnals, together with rumors of
free hacks and black horses in the
race, on the one hand: on the other,
general satisfaction with the progress
!of the school and the loyal support
of a large majority of the people who
j are really interested in the welfare
|of the school, account for the record
breaking vote polled at the election
! Saturday and the overwhelming vie-;
i tory of Mrs. L. J. Nelson and Guy
Hamilton over their opponents. One
hundred and six votes pere polled, as
against 44 last year. Mrs. Nelson,;
for three year term, received 81 j
; votes, her opponent having but 24.
; Mr. Hamilton, 2 year term, received
166 votes, having 30 to spare.
The Boy and the Publisher.
A New York publisher, having bus
j mess at the Capitol connected with
; pending legislation with reference to
! international copyrights, was hurry
' ing through a corridor of the build
ling, when he encountered a "Hop-o'-
: My-Thumb" scurrying along with an
armful of papers larger than him
self.
"Hello, son." cried the publisher,
"and what may be your position in
this establishment?"
"I'm a page, sir," answered the
lad.
"A page! Why, my lad, you are
scarcely large enough for a para
graph."—Lippincott's.

Recommends Chamberlain's

"As long as I can remember my
mother was a faithful user and friend
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, but I
never in my life have I realized its
true value until now," writes Prof.
H. A. Howell, of Howell's American
school, Havana, Cuba. "On the night
of February 3 our baby was taken
sick with a very severe cold; the
next day was worse and the follow
ing night his condition was desper
ate. He could not lie down and it
j was necessary to have bim in the
,arms every moment. Even then his
breathing was difficult. I did not
think he would live until morning.
At last I thought of my mother's
remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, which we gave, and it afforded
prompt relief, and now three days
later, he has full yrecovered. Under
the circumstances I would not hesi
tate a moment in saying that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and that
only, saved the life of our dear little j
boy." For sale by all dealers.
