WHOLE HOG OR NONE.

Here is a cute little scheme some
of the members of the general coun-
ell are credited with incupating:
Have President Hannah. of the coun-
ell, and President Reed. of the alder

resign. and elect as their successors
some member of the respective
boards whose term does not expire.
This will enable the last named to
hold on until the general council as
recognized after the new members
/ take their seats, elects a new presi-
dent of the boards. As some of the
democrats, with their usual idea of
superior Importance, want every
thing in sight and are not disposed
to allow the republicans. who will

siding officers, their presiding Of

way of figuring. II there are really
any democrats so disposed. however,
they have overlooked one slight, mat
ter which Is that with both presid

they would still have only half the
votes on any question that might
come up. and would be powerless. :.
In this connection il might be OBJ
served that the republicans elected
last November are all good citizens
who were elected to serve the best
interests of the people. and they ex-
pect to do IL to the best of their abili-
ty. They intend to support every
good move or measure that comes
up. no matter who presents II. They
do not want to use the Offices to
which they have been elected to play
politics. and will not do il. but they
probably will not allow men even
of such unprecedented and unpar-
alleled ability as their democratic
colleagues, to run the whole show.
There is probably no danger OF
any clash. however. President Reed
and President Hannah are not the
kind of men TO become a tool in the
hands of petty schemers and allow
themselves to be roped into such a
very small political horse-play.

ONLY A CONVENIENT LIMB.

Dispatches sent out from Cincin-
natl Saturday state:
Despite reports that have been
going the rounds. Sheriff Robert
Metzger of indianapolis. at the Bur
net house, today said he was positive
that Gov.-elect Hanley of Indiana
does not intend to honor a requisi-
ton for the return to Kentucky of
Ex-Governor William l.. Taylor for
trial on charges of completely in the
murder OF William Goebel."
Dispatches sent out Friday from
Frankfort, KY, state:
at was expected that the court of
appeals would hand down a decision
in the case of Caleb Powers yester-
day and it was reported that it
would be a reversal"
The Paducah News Democrat,
owned and controlled by National
Committeeman Urey Woodson, for
Kentucky, also secretary of the
democratic National committee. said
yesterday:
at is tipped that Caleb Powers
will get a new trial and that the
court of appeals will reverse the
death sentence of the lower court.
This hatched-faced Mephisto ought
to be hung. He is the man who or
ganized the whole conspiracy to kill
William Goebel. The infamous
scoundrel has lived too, long since
that damnable deed. Have conve-
nient limbs all been chopped off the
trees in Kentucky?"
These three publications tell their
own tale Why has the governor OF
Indiana never honored a requisition
for Former Governor Taylor? This
question may be answered in the
same way as the question, why has
the Kentucky court Of appeals never
affirmed the verdict OF the lower
courts in the trials of Caleb Powers?
Because the courts of Kentucky
will not accord the accused a
fair trial. Twice has the court of
appeals of Kentucky decided that
Caleb Powers did not have a fair and
impartial hearing, and IL is going
to do ii again, from reports that are
well founded enough TO be published
in the same democratic papers that
are partly responsible for the fact
that he didn't receive a fair trial.
Is it any wonder that the governor
of Indiana refuses to give up another
man to be prosecuted, kept in pris-
on for years, and convicted on per-
jured testimony. prejudiced and a

The K indness Of
Johnnie M1sd-Lip
BY RICHARD b. SHELTON.

There was mild excitement at Sell
by's camp. Mrs. Barron, who had
just come into the living cabin, was
standing and ruefully surveying the
three slender cologne bottles which
stood quite empty on the shelf above
the fireplace.

shown very poor TASTE" she re-
marked tartly to her husband, who
stood beside her. What in the

Robert bruce and old Fri, the head
guide, were trying to shake some vi

and dirt which snored like a saw
mill and which exhaled the odor of

WIFE'S PLEADINGS
MAY SAVE HIM

EVERETT, Aug. 1S.-Because of
the pleadings of his young wife, Alex
ander Ross, who has confessed to
holding up Mrs. M. e. Perkins and
taking her pocketbook from her, may
not be prosecuted. Ross says he was
driven to desperation by the fact that
he had no money and was unable to
get work.
His wife, who is but is years old,
and who was married to Ross ten
months ago, told her story to the
county commissioners yesterday. She
is among strangers and without mon
ey. She stated that unless she had
funds she would be unable to remain
longer at the boarding house where
she and her husband have been stop
ping. She is in delicate condition.
The commissioners provided mon
ey to pay for her board until her
husbands case is settled.
After her interview with the com
missioners, the young wife was al
lowed a few minutes conversation
with her husband, but neither said
much as the woman wept most of
the time. .rf.
If Ross record be found good his
case will probably be held in abey-
ance while he is released on his own
recognizance to accept a place which,
since his trouble, has been promised
him, at 1925 a day.

trously aboard, leaving his own ca
noe to be whisked away by the cur

with the powerful current and saw
Johnny Mud-Lip crouch in terror as
the eddy of the rapids caught them.
Then the canoe, tossed up and down
like a cork, was whislked to the point
where the rapids made sharp curve
and was lost to sight in cloud of
spume. At the same moment the
rest of the party came padding mad
ly to the shore where she stood
''Merciful Lord" gasped Barron,
as he hurried breathless down the
trail, "they will never get through.
Why didn't he let the cuss DROWN"
Barron and the men burst through
the bushes beside the pool to find
them both there-Johnny Mud-Lip
stretched on the ground with q ban
dage from Druce's shirt tied around
his head, and bruce himself sitting
calmly with bloody bandage around
his right arm. A moment later the
women of the party, who had fol-
lowed after, came up.
Talk about your nerve" Barron
was saying, his hands on bruce
shoulders.
bruce turned to Mrs Barron and
bowed low.
Permit me to return your col
ogne to YOU" he said gravely point
ing to Johnny.

and took both his hands before them

way"
AT that moment Barron's stentor-
ian voice was lifted from the river
bank: Choose your partners for the
paddle down to Brent's camp, every
body. and with Anal look at the
form of Johnny Mud-Lip bruce then
turned toward the river.
AS he turned toward the canoes
he saw Miss Allen standing on the
bank of the stream, quite alone.

up to her. Charming morning for

The holding of the examination at
this time is unusual, but. in the
opinion Of the county superintendent,
is greatly desirable. All candidates,
wherever located in the county, must
attend the examination in Tacoma,
as the cost of holding examinations
throughout the county would make
them prohibitory.
Pupils who obtained 80 per cent
in any subject at the last eighth
grade examination will not be re-
CURED to write again on that sub
ject. Each pupil must also have read
at least one of the reading circle
books of 1908.
The books for the reading circle
of 1904 are: "The Art of Study"
Hinsdale; "The True Citizen" Mar
mick & Smith; Mature Study and
Life" Hodge; Geographical Infu-
ence on American Life" Brigham;
