A well-known criminal lawyer one
day sauntered into q police court just
as q case was called. 1t appeared that
the defendant had no attorney, and
the Judge glanced about the room to
see whom he might assign to the case.

said, wishing to pass away the time.

asked.

with slight smile. II expect to send
him to the workhouse for about three

nantly. "Your honor must be joking.

months for a little harmless amuse-
ment like taking pictures?"

SAN JUAN ISLAND
SCHOOL ELECTIONS
L. C. LARSON ELECTED IN THE
FRIDAY HARBOR DISTRICT
Vote Was the Largest Ever Polled at
School Election Here, the Total
Exceeding 1OO---Results In All
Other Districts on San Juan Is-
land.

Unusual interest was mani
~ tested in the school election
here last Saturday, 103 votes being
polled, of which 68 were cast by men
and 35 by women. Last year the to-
tai vote was only nine. While there
were two candidates in the field, the
contest if it can be called one, was
very one-sided. L. G. Larson re-
ceived SO votes and N. E. Churchill
II. Mr.. Churchill, who has been a
member Of the board for several
terms, was not an active candidate.
He had merely said that he would
serve if elected. He had no workers
in the field, while Mr.. Larson S friends
were out in strong force, many Of
them, it seems, infueced by some ut
terly baseless reports, for which,
however, Mr.. Larson was not at all
responsible, designed to arouse pref
udice. Neither of the holdover di-
rectors asked any one to be a candi-
date or made the slightest effort to
influence the result.
In district No. l, E. w. McGeary
was elected for the three years term
and M. A. Ward was chosen to sue
ceed Orrin Boyce, who has been out
Of the county for several months.
District No. 2 elected Jas. Guard
to succeed his brother, Franz.
In No. 8 (Mitchell bay) E. A. Scrib-
ner was reelected.
In district No. 12 Squire Stewart
and John Stamm were elected.
At Roche Harbor L.. M. Harper
was elected.

Robert Sandwith were reelected.

Pension Increased


The effort to secure an increase OF
pension for George Dightman, ct this
place, o1 account Of total tindness,
has been successful, the bill granting
him $24 month having passed both
houses OF Congress, for which thanks
are largely due to the prompt and eff
fective work of the states senators
and representatives. No pretense
was made by Mr.. Dightman or his
friends that his blindness resulted
from his army service. His honorable
record as a soldier during the most
trying years of the nations history
having already been well established
it was quite sufficient to show that be
has for years, on account of his blind
ness, been unable to perform any
kind of labor and that be had insuffic-
lent private means for his support.

POLL TAX LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Superior Court of Whatcom County
So Holds In Conformity With De-
cision of Supreme Court.
HCCORDING to several judicial
VI decisions there is no author;tv

HCCORDING to several judicial
IL decisions there is no authority
Of law to compel the payment of a
road poll tax in this state. The lat.
est decision on the subject is that of
Judge Neterer, Of the superior court
of Whatcom county, who has sustain
ed the defendants demurrer in suit
brought by the county against one Of
its citizens to collect 81 poll tax, the
payment of which had been refused.
No appeal will be taken by the coun-
ty from the ruling of the court. A
like decision was recently rendered
by 8 Seattle Judge, which likewise
was not appealed. Judge Neterer's
decision is said to follow the decision
Of the supreme court in the case Of
the State VS.. Ide, from Port Town
send, wherein the law was declared
to be unconstitutional in that it vio-
lates section 8 Of article 10 Of the
constitution, providing that taxes
must be equal as to persons and prop
erty.
Citizens Of this county who are, or
should be, interested in good roads
may well think twice before refusing
to pay the tax. # we have good
roads we must pay for them, and il
we don't do it in one way we must do
|it in another. The law IS designedto
reach large number Of persons Who
are not property owners and yet
who share in the great benefits d
good public highways in common with
those who pay most 0f the cust q
their maintenance.

The Democrats Of Wake County
have repudiated the News and OBJ

shown Mr.. Daniels that they do not
believe him or his paper. If they
had believed him they never would
have nominated Drewry fof the
State Senate. The Democrats in
Wake County and all over the State
are finding out that the News and
Observer has been fooling them and
binding them To the truth by It's
venomous, mudslinging articles. 1t
has appealed to the prejudice Of the
people for many years, and now 1t
is trying TO hold it's strength by
abusing every good man in the State
who opposes 1t. The Democrats sre
finding out the tactics of the News

Noted Bandit Shot to Death.

Asheville, N. c., July 24.-News
was received here today Of the kill
ing of Hiram Wilson on Shelton
Laurel, in Madison County, Friday
afternoon by Fred Sans, a rural mail
carrier, twenty years of age.
Particulars of the killing are lack
ing. 1t is said, however, that Will
son made Sans climb down from his
wagon, and that the mail carrier
suddenly turned on the desperate
and killed him.
Wilson was considered the most
desperate man in Western North
Carolina. He was a blockader and
murderer. He killed his brother,
State Senator Zeb Wilson, at Burns
vile, Yancey County, four years
ago, and was acquitted. About 20
years ago he was tried for blockad-
ing before Judge Long, found guilty
and sentenced to four years in the
penitentiary. Judge Long had the
man shackled and handcuffed in the
court room and sent him to Raleigh
with a guard of fifteen men. He
was pardoned after a years servi-
tude.
Twelve years ago Hiram Wilson
killed young Honeycutt, in Yancey
County, in cold blood. There were
four trials and he was finally &C
quilted.
