TO AVOID ALL
WATER Waste

THE meter system 10 being installed
in the city as fast as the meters can
be placed" said City Clerk Nickerson
yesterday, and the system as now
recognized is the only means whereby
the water users of the city may be
curtailed and advised that the use Of
water in economical quantities is a
most necessary factor for their good"
Should the city water system at any
time break down through some fault
of the pumping plant, the citizens
would be placed in such an embar-
RAISING position AS a result of the
water famine that the effect would be
felt for years to come. The engineer
at the pumping plant continually ad-
vises the water superintendent that he
is constantly taxed to the limit to keep
the supply up to the necessary stand
ard. which state Of affairs could as
well be avoided as not through the
economical use of the city water
The water superintendent has place
inspectors throughout the city to look
after the negligent and wasteful use
Of the water and 1t is thought that his
means will suffice to some extent In
bringing about the desired results.
TT would mean a direct expendi-
ture to the city Of $500 to immedi-
ately install the thorough system
throughout the city, says Mr.. Nicker-
son, land this state Of affairs is being
evaded to a certain extent through the
installation Of the meters at such
places as the officials see At, the resi-
dence district being reached as fast
as the work ia completed in the down
town district"
1T is the policy Of the water de.
partment as well as other Department.
Of the city, to inaugurate and pursue
any system, whatever 1t may be, which
will in the largest measure benefit thu
people over whom the department ha,
jurisdiction" said prominent mem.
Der Of the city council when seen to-
day, land It would appear to per
son Of sane mind that from the rec
ords already made by the meters II
the city, one would be able to draw
definite conclusions az to their eff
cheney in preventing waste"

RESENTS
INSANITY PLEA

New York. July Hilary Kendall
Thaw yesterday In the Tombs prison
gave out the first formal statement
since he shot and killed Stanford
White on the Madison Square roof
garden. In it the young man utters a
protest against being regarded as in
sane and declares his counsel assures
him that no such course as the ap-
pointment of a committee to inquire
into his mental condition is contem-
plated.
The statement was handed by Thaw
In person to newspaper representa-
tives. He gave it out without the per-
mission of his counsel, with whom
he pleaded all day to he allowed to
deny in person the current reports as
to his sanity and especially the pub
ported interview with one of his coun-
sci quoting the attorney as saying the
prisoner was undoubtedly insane.
Young Thaws statement follows:
ain hfioihiSN W CiNctt duu
Mr. Gruber that the interview with
the latter in one Of last evenings pa
pers quoting him (Gruber) to the ef-
feet that am now insane and that a
lunatic committee would be appointed
to demonstrate that fact, has no foun-
dation whatever: that Mr. Grubel
never made such a statement. and that
no such course is contemplated.
"Mr. Olcott further tells me that he
did not go to Philadelphia for the pur.
pose Of seeing or inquiring about Har.
riet Thaw or her alleged insanity; thai
his visit had nothing whatever to d.
with the question Of my mental con
dition or that OF any member Of m!
family"
The statement was signed with thu
initials III. X. r." When asked II h
had anything further to remark Thav
said:
THAT statement embodies all that
have to say"
Despite the rapid fire Of question
hurled at him by the reporters Thav
remained smiling but non -committa
during the four or Ave minutes he ha'
with the press representatives.

THERE is some agitation in local pc.
litical circles, not exactly of a partisan
nature, as to whether there shall be
one or more Justices elected at the
coming election in Olympia precinct.
The statute Of 1897 provides that in
cities containing more than five thou.
sand population of the .third.class
there shall be elected one Justice of
the Peace who shall act as Police
Justice in and for such city at salary
OF 500 per month. All fees collected
in the prosecution OF State offenses
shall be paid into the County Treasury.
and those relating to ordinances to be
paid over to the City Treasurer. The
Law is somewhat indefinite as to
whether the County Commissioners or
the City Council must take the
initiative in such matter. In any
event it would seem the voters should
be apprised in the election notice in
order that they may act intelligently
when they come to cast their ballots.
There is no question about Olympia
having the requisite population. If
one Justice only is to be elected, the
Office becomes doubly important, and
more than ordinary care ought to be
exercised for the term will be at least
two years, and beyond the power of
the county board or city council to
make any change, if the choice should
prove unsatisfactory.

For the Good Of All Concerned.

Mrs. Agnes Prather WAS committed
Monday to the Hospital for the Insane,

woman has delayed this action long
beyond the bounds of prudence, and
it was not till forbearance ceased to
be virtue that action was taken. 1t
is we'll to err on the side of mercy, but
it should be bourne in mind that per.

just as deserving of sympathy as was
this most deplorablc affliction of
single individual, and the law humane.

this instance, it is said that suit for
heavy damages has been threatened by
a Portland merchant, from anticipated
ill.efrects to his wife, who, being in q
delicate condition, tainted away when
suddenly confronted by a boarded wo-
man in grotesque garb on the street.
Unfortunately loss of mind has
tranformed Mrs. Prather from come.

the query been made "Who is that
bearded person in woman's attire on
the street corner?" and to the state.
ment that she was insane, came the
ready inquiry: "Has che no friends?"
Her husband, Thomas Prather, has
the sincere sympathy of our people.
He has been indefatigable in his ef-
forts to keep her within doors, but il
was impossible TO do so. She will be
well.cared for in the asylum, and our
fair city will be relieved OF palpable,
persistent misfortune, liable at any
time to lead to trouble and loss.

THE GREATEST SHAKE OF ALL.-It ia
generally conceded that the earth
quake which destroyed the South
American cities of Valparaiso and
Santiago, was much more severe than
that which Frustrated San Francisco,
for the Chilean cities were constructed
with special reference for making them
impervious to earthquake shocks, in q
region much more subject to such
disturbances. Besides San Francisco
or any other city, 80 far as the record
shows, never sustained . continuous
shake of five minutes duration. That
Valparaiso is total ruin is . terrible
evidence OF the severity of the latest
disaster.

the laugh came in. Inspectors sent

in one instance she had detained q

forged the receivers name 10 tho return

irregularity, not dollar OF the money

1T is now shown that the Pacific
Mail steamer Manchuria was cast upon
the coral reef Of Rabbit Island, a small
speck OF land belonging to the Sand
wich Island group, by a tidal wave
that occurred simultaneously with the
Valparaiso earthquake and doubtless
from the same upheaval, which threw
the steamer fully twenty miles out of
her course. The Manchuria was the

That Spelling Reform.

President Elliot, of Harvard College,
does not favor mountaineering OF the
English language. He declares that
while President Roosevelt has e right
to use any orthography he pleases, that
does not carry any right to dictate to
others what they shall do; that the
English speaking people will hardly
adopt new system without some con-
cert of action of those who lead public
thought by reason instead of impulse.
Readers OF Shakespeare, or of other
old-time writer's, know how difficult it
is to follow the meaning, from differ.
ence in spelling as we'll as use Of words
now obsolete. This experience shows
that it is not we'll to change the moth.
er tongue without greater reason than
has yet been shown. The irregular
forms of prefixes and terminals per.
pick foreigners much more than the
native. born, and We do not know as we
are under obligation to simplify our
language as we have our naturalization
laws for their special convenience.
Can anybody imagine, who has given
the subject reasonable thought, that
the road to correct photography would
DO very materially shortened by all
the changes in spelling suggested
Would the facility accorded the learner
by regular forms compensate for the
labor and cost of preparing new plates
for all the standard works in which
history, science and living literature,
are embalmed? Would not the deliver
after knowledge lose all the time
gained, if compelled in after life to 20
with glossary in hand, like the anti.
quarian with bis pick, to get at the
true meaning of past and present rec
ords?
The English people, as we'll as the
more conservative thinkers of our own
nation, we are glad to observe, have
called . halt in the attempt of our
impetuous President to take it for
granted that his imperious will is
equal to all emergencies. The London
Standard bluntly intimates that the
President has bit off q greater piece
than he can conveniently chew, and
declines to believe that scholarly and
cultivated Americans will sacrifice the
history and meaning of the language
by adopting the "Carnegie.jargon.'
The Ne,cs points out that if American
publishers wish to invade the English
market they had better be conservative
in changes OF orthography. The Chron.
icle suggests that if His Impetuosity
had been merciful enough to have
summoned an Anglo.American Con-
gress to have arrived at an agreement,
after thoro (see how it looks y discus
sion, there might have been mutual
concessions that would made the
Kings English the Presidents Eng.
lish as we'll.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1906-08-31

PRESIDENT Roosevelt is still picking
up every old thing lying out loose that
strikes his fancy. 1t is now the Kings
English that he is trying to adopt az
the Presidents own, in Karnage tok.
A thoro reform is ordered in a message

how it may be lookt at, Josh Billings
