Within about six months from
this time, if the prescribed routine
OF the enabling act shall be duly
carried out, the new state OF Wash
ington will be organized and
ready for admission to the Union.
GA July 4th the convention will
meet at Olympia, and few weeks
will probably suffice to complete
the constitution for popular APP
prevail. The document will be
submitted to vote Of he people
on October 18th, a little more
than four months from this date.
At this election the officers for the
new state will be chosen, and the
state legislature will meet on the
first Monday in December, and its
first important business will be the
election of United States senators.
This will be great year for the
politicians and the young men
and women too will hare chance
to witness or read descriptions Of
the formal processes of state cor
struction as it proceeds. State
building is another thing. This
is the congregation of the human
elements that 60 to make up the
common wealth. Il has been 60
ing on ever since pioneers began
to come here for permanent settle
ment. 1t is still progressing with
greater rapidity than ever before,
and is destined to continue for
years to come. The tide of immi-
grafton has fairly turned toward
the Pacific coast, of which Wash
ington is one of the most desirable
portions, and it is not likly to d.
minish for several years. The
character Of the new state will
largely depend upon the immigra-
ton, and it is therefore more i'm
portant that its foundations should
be laid on broad, prac' zeal and
liberal American basis. The
newspapers will have their share
i'll the work Of rejecting public
opinion in regard to the consti
tuition, and tie election Of the
1rst legislature and the Officers
who are to frame the laws and pu'
into running order the machinery
OF the new government tx.

The series Of dastardly murders
of last week, bring Michigan's Grim
inal record well to the front. The
advocates of moral suaslon and the
correcting influences of prison re-
straint will have to bring forward
more forcible arguments than have
been advanced if they much longer
stem the tide of public opinion.
Such men as McQuarters have little
dread of even a life sentence under
present conditions. The man who
deliberately and without provocation
takes the life of his fellow man
merits the severest penalty society
can infiict. And the certainty of the
punishment acts as restraint upor
the vicious.
