POLITICAL.

One OF the results Of the late election
u movement in favor of changing the
method Of electing President and Vice
President. Railroads and wires have
made It possible for every voter in the
Nation to be promptly informed about
everything snd everybody. and there is
no good reason why the popular vote
should not control the matter, without
regard to state lines; and that would do
away with the cumbrous ballot and
mixed results. At this writing 1t looks
as though the electoral vote Of Mary
land would be divided this year. In '9e
Bryan had one electoral vote in Ken
tucky, in 1880 the vote OF California
wsssplit In 1920 one elector chosen
to vote for Monroe refused to do 20 and
thereby deprived the latter Of a unani-
NOUS election. In 1895 1t was claimed
that three men elected in the interest
Of Jefferson voted for Adams and there,
by secured his election. There are at
present probably five million men in
this country eligible to the Presidency.
any Of whom can be chosen by the
electors elected" last Tuesday with
ont violating the letter Of the law.
'.You did It," is what Gov-Elect Hig-
gins wired to President Roosevelt; and
there II no doubt but that the popular
endorsement OF the Presidents admin
istration helped to phil through some
Of the local tickets; but besides this 1t
must be recognized that many. perhaps
. majority. Of the Democrats, lad no
confidence In their party, this year. and
the returns show that some Of them
did not 20 to the polls.
The official majority OF Roosevelt
over. Parker In Butler county Is 3413,
and the unofficial in the state 404.7
The only Democratic districts Fin the
county, now. are Summit, Lancaster.
Jackson east, Clearfield and Har-
mony. The only Democratic conn.
ties in the state, now, are Columbia,
Fulton, Greene, Monroe and Pike,
none OF which have large populations.
The unofficial figures for Clarion coun-
~, the heretofore Democratic strong
hold Of this section are Roosevelt. 2740.
Parker $500.
For but the second time In its history
Clarion Co. went Republican. this year.
The other time was In 1875. That was
IN the zenith OF the development Of the
petroleum resources In the county
There was only county ticket to elect
and more than half Of the successful
candidates were Republicans. The
Democratic tidal wave Of 1876 swept
the county back into the Democratic
ranks and In 1878 the hegira to Mexican
connty had vet IN that carried the. Re-
publican votes away. Since then
Clarion has been regarded an hopeless
until the present victory shows that
good may come ont Of the most unlike
1y places.

0UT. THEIS
CHARLES rHEIs SAYS THE GAS
COMPANY HAS A sCHE1GB TO
GET HIM OUT BECAUSE He
HOLDS EIGHT SHARES OF THE
STOCK. -

The only object the Spokane Gas
company can have In asking for an
other franchise that can see issthat
it is new scheme to force me out"
The above statement was made by
Charles Theis this morning. Theis IL
the holder of eight shares ins the
Spokane company. He has taken the
matter into court on various occa-
sions but thus far neither side has
done any particular harm by their
actions in court.
Mr.. Theis, when asked why the
stockholders in the company should
ask for a new franchise, replied:
Il don't know. They already have
one with 40 years left before the con-
tract with the city is ended"
He refused to go into detail with
regard to his controversy with the
principal stockho!der, Isaac M. An
derson, giving as a reason that he
had interests which would not permit
of it.
Mr. Anderson left for Walla Walla
this morning and could not be seen.
Stockholders of the company have
applied to the city for a 50-year fran
chise and promise to greatly improve
the gas system in Spokane If the
new franchise is granted.

being bitten by a rattlesnake.
Reece and another were out on a
fishing trip, about u miles from

who was in the lead, sat down upon
q log to wait for his companion. The
Dog he sat upon was the habitation Of
q large yellow-spotted RATHER. Like n
fash the snake had buried its fangs in
the hand of the fire marshal.
He did the best he could to stop the

proposed that the finger be cut of.
The knife, however, was too dull.

SUES FARMERS
COMPANY

A. e. Koehler has brought an ac-
ton against the Farmers Commission
company to recover the sum OF
$576.7O and $3.50 for attorneys fees.
The company was Incorporated last
March and sold a portion of the stock.
Until last month the company did
business of buying and selling
farm garden orchard and dairy pro-
duce on commission. The company
sold produce for Koehler, but did not
turn over the money.
Koehler alleges that the company
is in debt to a number of people and
asks that a receiver be appointed to
settle the accounts of the firm. AL
though the company was Incorporated
at $50, 900 he alleges that there is but
little property that can be located
which belongs to the company.

Spokane is promised the greatest
water famine in it's history. Residents
of the city. and especially those with
homes and beautiful lawns. know what
it is to be without sufficient water but
this year they will have . scarcity
that will test their patience as never
before. Tardy steps have been taken
to provide relief, but they are followed
by the cheering announcement that it
will be impossible to provide a remedy
in time for the warm weather of the
present year. Commissioner Weymouth
throws the blame onto the city council.
Action Came Too Late.
Members of the board of public
works say there is no possibility of
relieving the water conditions this
year. That if the $4,000 needed to
build the reservoir is appropriated it
will be of no benefit this season.
Il have been heartily in favor of
the two reservoirs and the matter has
been before the council for some time
but has never been acted upon said
Commissioner Weymouth this morn
ing. If it is acted upon now it will
TAKE some tlfne 10 pace tne OfuefS
for the standpipes and to have them
arrive here"
Not This Year.
Commissioner Root gave it as his
o. inion that the reservoirs could not
be erected this year.
1T will take two months after the
orders are placed for the standpipes
to arrive" he said, and it would take
some time to build the tanks after
their arrival
Councilman Pratt, who has agitated
the water question for months, said
he expected the city would have a
bigger water famine this year than
ever before. The pumps We're run to
the fullest capacity last year and their
capacity has been in no way increased
during the year, while hundreds of
new taps have been added for the in
creasingly large number of consumers.
This, in itself, will make the scarcity
of water much greater than last year,
and in addition there is supposed to be
a big leak somewhere which cannot
be located.
The measure for relief now before
The council can not be acted upon be-
