Bctsered By Change OF Charters.

The special election to decide on the
question OF reornanizing North Yakims
under the general laws Of the state gov
erning cities Of the third class. and also
as TO increasing the boundaries OF the
city on the west, was held on Monday.
These questions had occupied the atten'
ton OF the newspapers and street corner
orators for some time past and as result
there were strong psrtisans on both sides
who were active in advancing the cause
they espoused. The reoryanizers were
not nearly 50 confident Of success on the
day Of the election as they had bees pre-
viously and their forebodings were justi-
fed by the result. In the first precinct
l79 votes were cast, OF which 70 we're for
reorganization aud LOG against. In the
second precinct reorganization had 1872
votes while there were 13J against. The
total vote on the question being AL and
the majority against reorganization 81.
There was little contest over annexa-
ton. the vote being 1926 to So in favor OF
annexation.
Some OF the reincorporators are so dis
satisfied with the result that they claim
they will have il again submitted at the
general election which will be held in
about six weeks, but this can only be
done with the consent OF the council, and
it is understood that Councilmen Kuech-
Ter and Allen are opposed to again bring
ing up the question which has twice been
settled by the voters at the polls. Such
agitation is injurious to the city's interests
and taxpayers should decry it. Many
Who were once in favor Of reorganization
are now advocating revision nj our cit,
ordinances, eliminating those that are
useless, and changing the others so that
they will conform to our charter and the
General laws OF the state. This move
would be in the line OF common sense.

Pharnelius. like many other physi-
clans, was much addicted to philosophy
and mathematics, but having taken to
medicine he speedily attained a great
practice. Henry II as dauphin and aft
erward as king was his constant friend.
Among the most grateful of his patients
was Catherine de Medici, who believed
that his skill had saved her from state
of childlessness, and who gave him on
the birth of her firstborn $40 1000. order
ing that like sum should be paid to him
at the birth of each succeeding son or
daughter. l think that Cardano liked
Pharnelius better than he liked Sylvius.
He says he was pale, lean man Of about
so, who loved his study and was full Of
domestic affection. He was the profess
or of medicine in the university and
the first court physician, but he must
have puzzled Cassanate greatly, for he
had an undisguised contempt for court
society. -Blackwood's Magazine.

OUR PRESENT DUTY.

For the sec md time the question Of
abandoning our special charter, which
was carefully framed 10 meet the require
ments Of this particular locality, has been
voted down at the polls, and by an in
creased majority. The voters have done
we'll. There were no arguments advanced
for change that cannot be made null by
the intelligent action OF our municipal
lawmakers. By the revision OF our ordi.
nances, to make them comply with our
charter and the general laws OF the state,
we will be enabled to conduct the affairs
OF our local government to much better
advantage than we could under charter
that Is applicable TO every small city In
general aud none in particular. The
present charter was drawn TO meet the
specific needs Of municipality that has
no common interest, other than that OF
the common good, with the other cities Of
the state. 1t was carefully considered By
all Of our attorneys and adopted only after
it had met with the approval Of all Of our
citizens; and now after eight years OF
growth and advancement under it, tw ice
, has 1t been approved by the voters at the
polls. This should be satisfactory to
every one. The supporters OF the old
charter believe in its worth and for this
reason advocated its retention. We are
here to build up North Yakima and the
surrounding country, and with this up
building will come our prosperity. To
delay or tear down those things which are
for the best interests of all would be sui
cidal to the individual, and when those
people who have been enterprisiny, who
have enlisted and invested much capital
to advance projects beneficial to the pub
lie and to the country. the matter OF per
sonal feeling or personal prejudice have
no right Of existence nor should they cut
any figure in public questions. With re-
gret The HERALD has to recite that some
of the voting at the late election was dine
not so much for public veal as personal
spite, and that friendly feeling which

some quarters lost sight OF. This is foil,
as is also that threat that the question
will again be submitted to The voters at
an early date. Those who impose this
burden OF annoyance and expense on the
people at the coming general election will
feel the weight OF public censure. There
is now nothing to be done but to choose
with care and consideration board Of
councilmen who will appoint city at
torney with the time and qualifications to
revise some OF our ordinances and con-
denim others, making all as clear, concise
ircomplex as it is possible to construct
them. Councilmen are too prone to intro
duce ordinances and create laws when
they are not required. The more simple
our form OF government the better the
people will be pleased and the greater the
prospect OF justice, harmony and well.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.

Seattle Press Times: During the de.
preston in affairs, which has been exist.
ing now for upwards OF year, there il
one class Of business which, on the sur.
face at least, shows no signs Of being
affected thereby. That is the publication
OF country newspapers.
The newspapers Of the smaller towns Of
the state oil Washington have always
been particularly bright, able, and we'll
printed. So much 80, indeed. as to be
far superior 10 those Of any other state in
the Union. Instead OF depreciating dur
ing the period of financial stringency
they have been uniformly kept up 70
their high standard OF excellence, aud in
most instances have shown marked de-
gree of Improvement, both in matter and
in mechanical appearance and makeup.
1t has been often the custom among
the newspapers in the larger cities to
speak slightingly of the country press,
and some Of the leading city papers Of
the coast have been foremost offenders in
this respect. but it is doubtful II any OF
the metropolitan journals exert anything
like the proportionate influence among
their clientage that belongs to the aver
age country newspaper.
That influence OF the country press is
daily growing larger and it is particularly
pleasant to observe that, at this time. the
great bulk Of the country newspapers are
enlisted on the side OF reform and econ
omy in the conduct OF public affairs, state
county and municipal.
Such an influence as this will 20 a Ions
