Where They Are At-Some persons
seem in doubt as to where they will
vote at the coming city election and
wonder if they have a vote at all as
they have not lived in their present
ward 80 days. There is no need to
worry over this. Those who will
have lived in their present location
for 80 days prior to the election vote
in the new ward regardless of the fact
that they were formerly located in
another ward. E =.

THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
REFUSE TO ACT
County Officers Salaries
Should Be Raised.
RATING COULD BE CHANGED
This County Entitled to Eleventh
Class, But No Action Taken
in the Matter by County
Commissioners.
RATING COULD BE CHANGED

There has been petition to the
county commissioners to raise this
county from the fifteenth to the eleventh
class, as is due it.
Counties containing population of
10000 and under 1000 shall belong TO
and be known as counties of the fifteenth
class. and counties containing popula
ton OF $4,000 and under 10000 shall be.
long TO and be known as counties of the
eleventh class.
What is the matter with the county
commissioners that they do not take
action on such an important question?
The salaries of the county officials
should be raised according to the class
therein. 1t is no more than fair that the
commissioners should place this county
in its proper class.
The following is an opinion given by
Attorney General A. T. Atkinson on the
subject, who says that the county should
be Immediately classified
n. ]. ALERT. Commissioner of Adams
county-The c.. ssifcation Of a county
may be changed At any time and not
necessarily at tie md of a year. and
when the board Il commissioners deter.
mines the classification of county the
officers are entitled at once to increases
in salaries. A reasonable method of de
termining population is census taken
by the county assessor or by taking the
tax roll and multiplying 1t by reason
able ratio"

Olds tells Of man who came to his
place last week from Ritzville and asked
for mud bath. In the crowd and the
rush the man was given water bath in
stead of the mud bath he had asked for.
When he came out OF the bath room he
offered to pay for mud bath. but when
he was charged only for water bath he
asked: "Why, wasn't that mud bath ?
Well, the water is far better than ever
believed it to be."-Medical Lake Mail.

consumption. and no sane man would
question the justice of paroling the other
four after even cursory investigation of
their cases. In every one of the &c cases
OF parole there were numerous and Just
reasons why these men should he releas-
ed. and their conduct since their release
has in most every instance warranted
the governor actions.
Seventeen Of these paroled prisoners
had less than six months of their sem
tence to serve when paroIed, and IN sew
eral instances they had but IL few weeks
to serve. Whenever a prisoner is pa.
rolled It means saving to the state OF
Washington of from s2s to $40 in cash
advanced. railroad fare and clothing, as
all OF these expenses must be borne by
the prisoner himself when released on
parole. Outside of this saving to the
state. the matter OF prison discipline
calls for some reward for the convict who
strives to do right while in prison. II
must be remembered that a great deal
OF the work at the penitentiary requires
men who can be trusted and who are
competent to perform certain kinds OF
work. II there was no hope of any re-
ward for faithful service, what incentive
would there be for the convict to take
an interest in his work and endcavor to
further the general welfare of the insti-
tutionf There are many good reasons
why the parole law is Of great benefit TO
the discipline OF prison and aids in the
reformation OF the prisoners.
The uninitiated are generally unac-
quainted with the reasons why certain
regulations greatly tend to further the
discipline in penal institutions, but that
is no excuse for any one to impugn the
management of an institution OF this
character, for the records are public doc
uments. and comparison with other in
situations throughout the country can
readily be made.
During the same period Gov. Mead
has pardoned 81 convicts and commuted
seven more. In every instance but three
the prisoners have been deserving and
merited the clemency Of the governor.
The three cases referred to are Spencer,
Haley and Madsen. and the governor
should not be held accountable for the
Misrepresentation which were made to
him, and which were accepted by him
IN good faith as being true. But the con-
duct Of these three men since leaving
prison has hardly reached such serious
proportions as to be ca use for general
panic.
There have been 400 prisoners releas-
ed from the pcnitentiary during this
same period. and the average daily pop
ulation has been 1853 The total paroles.
pardons and commutes amount to 81. or
81 per cent of the total average popula.
ton and 1874 per cent of the total num-
Der of released. Are these appalling
figures when compared with other sim.
liar institutionsi
Progress and experience have made
many innovations IN the conduct of
penal institutions. and will continue to do
so. notwithstanding the unwarranted
statements published by few sore
newspaper writer's who are opposed to
Gov. Mead's administration simply be-
cause it is Gov. Mead and not Gov.
Some body else.
