House bill No. 297, ITO provide for
publication by posting" introduced by
Representative Thacker (by request),
has been indefinitely postponed, as
THE ISLANDER was confident that it
would be. The editor has known the
chairman of the judiciary committee
for many years, long before either came
TO this state, and he had no doubt that
he could be relied upon to sit down
upon such perniciOus measure. The
Whatcom Blade says of it: "Judge
Thacker's posting bill is about such
measure of degeneration as one would
expect from race dying Of retrogres-
siyeness. 1t would discourage civili-
zation. encourage fraud and materially
applaud ignorance" The POst-Intel-
ligencer. commenting editorially upon
a communication from THE ISLAND
ER's editor in reference to the PROPOSE
ton. published in the P.-I. Of last Sat-
urday, says:
"a correspondent calls attention to
house bill No. 297, which provides that
in ali counties from the tenth to the
twentv-ninth class, it shall be lawful to
make publication of any legal notice by
hosting in three public places, the same
to he posted for the same length OF time
now required for publication. This does
away with the publication of notices in
newspapers and leaves wide open door
for fraud, particularly in the ease OF non
residents. The measure is uncalled Tor
and should not become law"
These comments are among the most
moderate of the many expressions OF
disapproval which the bill has met with
upon all sides, and it was natural per-
hans that Judge Thacker personally
should have been subjected to some ad-
verse criticism by persons not &C
auainted with him, for having intro
duced the bill. A prominent citizen OF
q neighboring county writes: =! have
never heard Mr.. Thacker spoken OF
ntherwise than as an honest man, but
the fact that he is 3 lawyer leaves his
motive In introducing such bill open
r. euspicion.n Having no knowledge
Of Judge Hackers personal attitude
toward the bill, we do not feel that the
mere fact of his having introduced 1t
nv request ought to subject him to CEN
sure. He could not very consistently
refuse to do that much for any friend
who might request it, or for any con-
stituent. But the bill is dead and It's
resurrection is improbable, for some
time at least. "Requiscat III pace"

A Song Of Christmas.

Theresa song in the airl
There's a star In the sky!
There's a mothers deep prayer
And baby's low cryl
And the star rains its fire while the Beautiful
sing,
For the manger Of Bethlehem cradles King
There's a tumut of Joy
Ger the wonderful birth,
For the Virgins sweet boy
Is the Lord Of the earth.
Ay the star rains its fire, and the Beautiful sing,
For tue manger of Bethlehem cradles King
In the light Of that star
Lie the ages iUpearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aflame, and the Beautiful sing
In the homes Of the nations that Jesus is King
We rejoice in the light
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly thronR.
Ayl we shout to the lovely evangel they bring.
And we greet in his cradle our Saviour and King
