be passed by a republican legislature.
regulate rates and fares and fix rail-
road valuations for the entire state
and il IS absurd to say that the estab
lishment cf such commission is q
local issue.
1t is not true that the advocates of
a commission are all residents of east
ern Washington. Some of the most
prominent champions of a commission
live on the west side. Harold Pres
ton. Governor Mcbride and John H.
Powell are conspicuous examples.
But the question involves more than
the creation of railway commission.
The great issue before the voters of
this state is whether the people or the
railroad corporations shall have con-
troll Of the government of the COM
monwealth. This is certainly not a
local issue and it will be found on cleo
ton day that thousands of west side
pendent, self respecting republicans of
eastern Washington in voting to put
an end to the disgraceful rule of the
railroad lobby that has usurped the
powers of the Legislature and dictated
on what terms appropriations from the
state treasury should be made and on
what term laws should be passed.
The existence of this dominant third
house is not a local issue, but it is
now the paramount question before the
voters of this state.
1t is perhaps fortunate that the ma
tional contest is so One-sided SO far
as this state is concerned, for it leaves
the people free to devote their atten-
ton to the rescue of their home gov
eminent from the corrupt control of
arrogant and tyrannical railroad cor
pOrationS.

WORTH THE EFFORT.

The Merchants Association Review
of San Francisco for September con-
tanis, under the caption The Citizens
Neglect" an earnest appeal to the
attention to the primary election and
take pains to see that suitable men are
nominated for public office. In his APP
peal the writer urges the closing of
business houses on the day of the pri-
mary, and makes a strong argument
in favor of it by citing the fact that
business establishments are closed on
New Years, the Fourth of July, on
Labor Day, on Thanksgiving Day and
on Christmas.
The business men do not regard it
as much of a hardship to lose the bust
ness of these holidays. Not only are
these days observed, but the banks
and public offices are often closed on
Washington's birthday, Memorial Day,
and on other occasions. And yet on
none of these is there so much reason
for closing as on the day of the pri-
mary election. On that day there is
something doing which is of practical
interest to every business man. On
that day men who have the least at
stake in the result are the most active
They have time to attend the elections
and are always there. To yield to them
the control of the business of that most
important day of the year is to COM
nit as serious an act of folly as ia
pan would have committed if she had
permitted only her riffraff and scaia-
WagS to go to battle: as if a business
man were to give the management of
his business into the hands of the least
intelligent and least reliable of his en-
ployeeS and expect a decent rating by
the commercial agencies.

THE GNAT AND THE CAMEL.

A very recent exhibition of the work

difference whose OK is being gored," is
the announced positions upon pros
pective legislation made by Candidate
Mead. He declares, that if elected gov
ernOr he Will not. in exercising the
iSlature to create or refuse to create
Il railroad commission, but contents
himself with saying, If the Legislature
creates a commission l will sign the
bill"
If he has any opinion on the commits
sion question it is against the creation
of one. He assures the people, in the
speeches he is making, that in his
opinion the time is not ripe for one
ana he declares: The republican party
in its wisdom has thought it wise to
defer the creation of a commission un-
til such time as railroad facilities We're
enjoyed by every section of the state"
Being asked if he would sign a bill
to repeal the gambling laws of Wash
mgton Nh Mead said: L would not
promise in advance to veto any bill
passed by the legislature. Before /
interpose my veto | want to See the
bill"

cation has been shortened. On the
other hand the Russians, able in the
early months of the war to get sup

In an interview with a representative
OF the Spokane Chronicle Albert T.
Mead stated in effect that he would
not veto a bill repeating the anti-gamb-
ling law if such a bill should be passed
by the legislature. He declared that
he believed the legislature fully COM
petent to Judge of the merits of bills
coming before it and that he would not
interpOse his veto to tnWart its will.
AS governor Mead would abdicate his
constitutional prerogatives to urge
such legislation as he should deem
necessary and to veto bills that he
might not approve. He would be Il
poor, weak, spineless thing, a mere
puppet in the hands of Farrell, Gross
cup and other corporation bosses.

ACTRESS STRICKEN BLIND IN THE STREET SPENDS EIGHT ZEN DAYS IN REFLECTION

Cure As Mysterious to the Doctors as the Malady.-pog Led Her Home When She Found Herself in Dark ness in Daytime.

New York. May 11.-Stricken sud. denly blind in the street of the after noon of April 1e, Annie Jamison, an actress, was as suddenly given back her sight yesterday afternoon, at the Manhattan Ear and Eye Hospital Last evening she was emerging from her terrible eighteen days of dark ness The surgeons and specialists who attended her were unable ta ac- count for her sudden loss of sight.
 Annie Jamison played Nell Gwynne" in a western stock company during the past season. Her husband is Joseph Burchard, and they live al No. 116 East Sixty-third street.
 T was walking with my dog Laodie on Third avenue, near Sixty-first street." she said yesterday, in telling her experience. {" when suddenly ev- erything became oazed to me. and I seemed to see nothing but huge cleo tTic arc light. l was frightened and instantly spoke to Laddie, whom l was holding on a leash. I believe the dog knew something had happen ed to me, because he whinned and dragged me after him. Ali could see was the outlines of people passing on the street. Laddie somehow led me home, and I groped my way up- stairs to my room.

 Everything was black before me then, and thought it must be night felt my way to the window and raised the shade but I could not see then. Finally found a macth and scratch ed it. I knew it lighted. but l could not see the light. The gas puffed as it ignited, but couldn't see it. felt the glow of the flame and crawled over to g couch to wait for Mr. Burchard.
 Finally he came in and asked me why had the gas burning told him ! couldn't see. and he said Non sense. it's only three o'clock and broad daylight I was positive then that was blind and asked him to pass his hand in front of my face. He said he did it. but I couldn't see it. He told me I had a strange look, and he rushed cut for doctor
 Doctors Could Not Explain.
 Four days later Mrs. Burchard was taken to the hospital Her case pug zled the doctors because an examina- ton showed no defects. She was put on a milk diet and developments were awaited. Several eminent spec ialists called to see her, but after they had made examinations not one of them would give an opinion on the cause of her blindness. When she first went to the hospital she had sev- eral attaeks of nausea Her eyes were bathed frequently and doses of sirychnine were given.
 Yesterday morning while a nurse was talking to her she suddenly cried out, ''Oh, I see you," The nurse sum- moned several doctors and Mrs. BurchaTd upon being questioned vaguely described their appearance. Later she distinguished several colors and the physicians expressed hope for her complete recovery
