Registration and Population.

There is a double satisfaction to our
people in the splendid total OF voters reg
istered in Seattle. They are glad that
there is to be no apathy here this year.
A fun vote is what every Republican de-
sires most 20 see. All that is needed to
bury Organism aud Rogerisrn and Tur-
nsrism in this state il complete ex-
precision Of the VIII Of the people That.
IL registration is any guide. Is what We
are going to have.
The figures are also interesting In that
they sustain fully our claim Of popula-
ton. The registered vote In Seattle ia
1s.7s7. At the East, the ratio Of voters to
population Is as ono TO ave. In the West
It is larger. because of the greater per-
centage of men with small families and
Of unmarried men. 1t is also affected In
the same direction by the fact that one
years residence prior to registration is
required in washington. Having these
facts in mind. the registration indicates
population OF at least 5000.
An amusing confirmation OF this is
found in q recent argument Of the Port
land oregonian. Attempting TO show
that the population Of Portland was vast
" in excess Of that Of Seattle. It referred
to the registration as one proof. OF
course It used the old figures for Seattle.
and the figures Of the recent state cleo
ton for Portland. Now let us compare
the revised returns. Portland claims and
is allowed 5000 people by the census re-
turns. It's registration few months ago
Was 1850. The registration OF Seattle Is
1850 The public may draw its own
conclusions.

the truth would be to let the election go

Another delightful explanation OF the
proceedings of the state fair commission
in agreeing to divide everything in sight
and out Of sight is furnished by the Sc
attic Tfmes This Is that when law
prohibits the members OF a commission
from taking compensation for their serv-
ices, 1t means only that they shall not
be paid for attendance upon meetings.
when they are not in session, they are
entitled to grab anything that flows their
way.
This is as delicious as anything that the
campaign has evolved. and ought to be
brought to the attention OF the courts.
Members OF the legislature. for instance.
who receive I'VE dollars a day during the
session. are undoubtedly entitled to any
thing that they may choose to vote them
selves when the legislature is not In ses-
sion. And certainly any ofiiceholder must
have a claim to maintenance after his
term Of ONCE has expired. In tho mu-
scum OF campaign curiosities must be
placed conspicuously the principle that
when the law says certain men shall not
draw compensation while rendering GER
tain services. It declares by implication
that they have . statutory right to COM
pensation when they are not rendering
any services whatever.
