MIR. FRITZ LETTER,

The ISLANDER cheerfully gives a
prominent place in it's columns this
week to communication from a
well known Orcas Republican
which is somewhat in the nature
of personal "roast" of the editor
Tor the position he has taken with
respect to the county school super
lntendency. 1t is quite true that
the editor is member of the Re-
publican county central committee
and he also had the honor To
preside over the convention which
nominated the Republican county
ticket last fall. AS chairman of
such convention he certified to the
nominations made and lie subse-
quently did all that he could. both
personally and through the medi-
UNI OF his paper and by his vote to
elect every candidate on the ticket.
One failed because she did not get
a "fair deal, from partisan stand
point, in her home precinct and the
other precincts of Orcas island. In

An. Irishman who had committed
the theft of an eight day clock and
several watches was much annoyed
at night by the clocks persistent

ed imagination made him believe
was, "Pat, Pat, it was you that stole
the watches"
Pat threatened that he would
break its back unless it desisted, but
the clock continued it's steady stick,
tick, tick
In a rage he leaped out Of bed,
seized the clock and hurled it out
of the window. The clock in it's de-
scent struck a policeman, who in
his agony yelled out:

Fisherman Badly Hurt

=
Fred Anderson, a fisherman and a
stranger here, was very badly inJur-
ed Monday by falling from one of the
Orders of the approach to Carriers
wharf and striking head first upon
the rocks below. His nose was brok-
en- and his head was badly cut over
one eye. He was unconscious for
hours afterward and a day or two
elapsed before he was even able to
tell his name. He is being cared for
at the Tourist hotel He was con-
siderably under the influence of liquor
at the time of the accident and was
hurrying to reach the steamer Is
lander. The wharf approach was
being rebuilt and the men at work
upon it we're below and did not see
him coming.

Neither the comments of the Is
LNDER on the county superintend-
ency nor the communications
which it has published relative to
it alter the law or the facts. The
capable Republican candidate for
superintendent was defeated. The
Democratic candidate was elected.
If she was rineligible the election
was void. 1t is the privilege of
any citizen, who pleases to contest
the matter, to take the question

Mrs. Buxton received only 48. In
East Sound precinct the Republi-
can electors received 76 and Mrs.
Buxton 81. Olga precinct cast 33
votes for the Republican electors
and Is for Mrs. Buxton. Of course
these figures have no bearing on
the question of Miss Sweeney's eli
gibility but they are quite admissi-
BILE as evidence on the question of
"fair deal' which Mr.. Fritz en-
phasizes so strongly y, and also as
showing where the blame for Mrs.
Buttons defeat properly rests.
| It was not the province of the
editor of the ISLANDER, either as
such editor or as member of the
Republican county committee, to
pass judgment upon Miss Sweeney's
certificate when the list of Demo-
| cratic nominations was filed with
the county auditor. The law i'm
poses that duty upon the auditor
himself AS stated in the ISLANDER
of last week strict construction
of section 81 MIGHT have justified
the county auditor in refusing to
place Miss Sweeney's name on the
ticket, on the ground that her GER
tifcate does not comply with the
"strict LETTER of the law" But if
he had so refused and the question
had been passed upon by the courts
the editor believes that the auditor
would have been compelled by a
writ Of mandamus to recognize the
nomination as valid, inasmuch as
the certificate which she holds is
pronounced by the official heads of
the states educational system as
SUPERIOR to the first grade require
ments.
If statutes were always perfectly
clear it would be unnecessary to in
woke the aid of courts to construe
them, and when such aid is invoked
it is always the INTENT of the law
making power that the judges seek
to determine. It is a long estab-
lished maxim of jurisprudence,
recognized by the highest courts,
that San Interpretation which gives
effect is to be preferred to one which
makes void" According to a literal
construction of section 81 of the
school law NO NORMAL SCHOOL GRAD
UATE, even from the most advanced
course, is eligible to the Office of

clare it to be the intent of the leg

AS TO SCHOOL BONDS

An Olympia dispatch quotes State
Land Commissioner Ross as saying
in reply to recent criticism by
the ISLANDER of the land commits
sion, charged with the important
duty ofinvesting state school bonds,
for it's failure to bid upon certain
school bonds in this county, that
since he became commissioner only
three bond offers have been re-
ceived from this county, viz. those
of school district No. Is (Deer Har-
bor) and No. 7 (Orcas) and $4,000
of county refunding bonds and that
bids were rendered in response to
the two last mentioned offers. Mr..
Ross further says that he was alb
sent from Olympia when the Deer
Harbor bonds were offered and
that he does not know why no state
bid was made upon them.
We do not for a moment ques-
ton the truth of these statements
of the commissioner. At the time
the ISLANDER article to which Mr..
Ross doubtless refers was published
no county bonds had been offered
to the state nor had any state bid
been made on the Orcas bonds.
Three calls had been published,
running fifteen weeks altogether,
for bids ON the Deer Harbor bonds
and copies of all the notices were
sent to the state land commission.
Was Mr. Ross absent during all of
this time? After the second pub
LEGATION letter was received by
the clerk of the district stating
that if the district would again ad-
vertise, the state would tender a
bid. The directors did so and a
copy of the notice was promptly
sent to the land commission, but
there was no response and five
weeks more were lost in the third
vain effort to secure state bid.
AS consequence the district was
obliged to accept a six per cent
bid from private bond buyers and
pay some extra charges for attor-
ney fees and engraving. Even the
Orcas district was obliged to pub
1ish two calls before obtaining any
response from the state. And vet
it is matter of common knowledge
that there are a great many thou
sands of dollars of state school
funds lying idle in Olympia banks.
1t was these facts that led to the
ISLANDERS recent criticism. Its
first criticism in the matter was
prompted by the land commissions
announced intention to purchase
the questionable Port Townsend
water bonds at ridiculously low
rate of interest, when it was at the
same time refusing or failing to
bid upon safe school bonds that
could readily be secured at ma
terlally higher rate. 1t is reported,
however, to the credit of Commits
q.
slOner Ross that he was and still is
opposed to purchasing the Port
Townsend bonds.
