W
ing done as he sees fit and pay for it
out of his maintenance fund.
The printing of the biennial reports.
which in some of the offices are very
extensive, coming on just as it does
at the time of election. has caused UNI
usual activity among the printers in all
parts of the state in an effort TO secure
a portion of the work.
Use Political Influence.
Many small offices, which are not
equipped for the character Of work re-
quired. which includes cloth bind
ing and actual book printing. are at
tempting to use political influence to
secure a slice of the work One or two
of the officers who are not candidates
for reelection, and therefore feel more
Independent. have Informed the outside
printers that Olympia offices will be
given the preferences if their prices
and samples of stock submitted comply
with just requirements.
1t is understood that most of the
offices will call for bids on the printing
of the biennial reports.
1t is believed now that the coming
Legislature will also have trouble over
the printing of the necessary station
nry-
and senate journals While the session
laws and journals are not to be print
the other work will be needed imme-
diately after the converting of the SEES
was made by the last Legislature in not
providing for the calling for bids by
vening of the Legislature, with the view
of appointing committees at once to
award the printing of the emergency
work. AS it now stands, committees
will have to be appointed and will have
for advertising for sealed offers.
May Form Combination.
This emergency must necessarily be
done in Olympia, or the legislature put
to annoying delays. There are three
offices in Olympia equipped to do the
work, and with such a small number
it is considered a possibility that to
avoid cut-throat prices a combination
may be attempted among the three
offices on this emergency work
1t is now realized more than ever
that some sort of a printing law is
necessary in order to secure efficiency
in the work and reasonable prices for
the doing of it. There are many ad-
vantages in the present system of al
lowing each officer to contract for his
own printing, the principal advantage
of which is economy. It's greatest
drawback appears to be the attempt
to use the printing for political pur-
poses. Many of the drawbacks could be
avoided, as to the ordinary run of
work, by law requiring that bids be
called for work aggregating a specified
amount.
State Plant Is Proposed.
A new printing law has been sug-
gested, and it is more than likely that
a bill providing for such a law will be
presented to the coming session. The
bill as outlined will provide for the
purchase by the state of a complete
printing plant, to be installed in the
basement Of the capitol building, where
there is ample room and ample power
at hand for running presses. 1t will
also provide for the appointment of a
superintendent by the governor at a
fiat salary who will be responsible for
the efficiency of the work, employ the
men and be general manager of the

His first act to bring him into noto-
riety. after being elevated to the
bench. was to write an opinion dis
franchising the women, in which opin-
ion the court was divided. Thus. with
one stroke of his pen. he removed from
the political areana thousands of wo-
men who had braved the dangers and
hardships of crossing the plains to es-
tabliSh for themselves and their chill
drel homes in the then wilderness of
Washington His decision to disfran-
chise ten thousand voters from the SUI
preme bench was a much easier task
than to gain their united support at
the ballot box"
And again: took a great head to
write such an opinion where self-in-
terest was plainly the chief incentive.'
Statement Without Truth.
The only scintilla of truth in the
foregoing statements is the fact that
the supreme court of the territory of
Washington did at one time declare the
act of the territorial legislature of
Washington. passed on January is,
1888, comforting the right of suffrage
upon women. void as in conflict with
the organic act of the territory, which
decision was rendered by the entire
court. without any dissenting opinion.
The opinion in the case was written by
Jones. C. j. and concurred in by Lang
ford and Allyn, j. j., Senator Turner
not even being a member of the court.
The opinion was filed August IA, 1888,
in the case of Boomer VS.. Todd, and
can be found in the Third Washington
Territory reports, at page 599, and in
the Nineteenth Pacific, at page 135,
and is the only case reported in which
the question of tn right of women to
vote in the territory or state of Wash

I use no droppings boards, and BY
keeping the floors Of the houses We'll III \

the moisture in the droppings, md that
can let the droppings remain for weeks
and yet leave the house free from PAD
smell, and as the droppings are hidden
In the leaves, cleaner to look at than
half the houses I see that are cleaned
daily. In winter have let my houses
go without removing the droppings for
several months. don't advise others
either to do without droppings boards
or to let their houses 60 SO long I'M
cleaned, unless they are sure they can
control the situation. If there is much
looseness among the fowls It Will not DO
at all to let droppings accumulate. With
some kinds Of litter the droppings can
not be alloweds to accumulate. Dry
leaves have found better than anything
else, II one has them in sufficient quaint
ity to keep the litter always deep on the
floor Of the houses. In England many
/ farmers use peat moss, and allow drop
pings to accumulate in it for nearly
year. In Rhode Island the colony plan
poultry farmers set a board onedge on the
floor just forward Of the outer roost,
and throw dry earth, few shovelfuls at
time, from the other side Of the floor
on the accommodating droppings. This
accumulation of earth and dropptngs Is
removed once or twice q year. Poultry
manure normally is Of such character
that If one takes proper care Of it where
it falls in the house it Is not necessary
that it should be promptly removed;
and the small farmer taking advantage
of this fact, can arrange his roosts and
their surroundings so that he can clean
when convenient He IL not required
to choose between taking time to clean
the houses daily or having houses In
condition to be ashamed OF.
Poultry keeping ought to be an I'M
portant feature on every farm, and a
pleasant feature Of farm work. It may

his stock and his methods to the ca
