Lyman To Urge Appropriation.

Prof. W. d. Lyman of Whitman Col
lege and who toured the Inland Empire
will be asked by the East Side delega-
tlon to the state Legislature to go to
Olympia to ask and urge the appropria-
tion of $500, 1000 for open river work.
This was decided on at meeting of the
East Side delegation. held at Olympia
recently.
Mr.. Thompson of Spokane. chairman
of the Spokane delegation, who is slated
for the chairmanshib Of the house ap-
preparations committee, called the meet
ing Of the Eastern Washington iouse
members to discuss the "open river"
bill. The discussion developed that the
members present are practically united
in favor of the river Improvement,
although some fear is expressed that
the heavy demands on the state treasury
are too great to allow this appropria-
ton; that the work is one the federal
government should undertake. 1t was
determined, however, to urge the
passage of this or some similar
measure, even if at first the work will
have to be begun with smaller sum.
1t was agreed that Professor w. d.
Lyman Of Walla Walla be asked to
present the matter to the legislature.

Ask For Division ofiDistrict.

Through action of the Commercial
Club the matter of dividing this SEN
atorial district will be taken up at once
with the delegation in the legislature,
with request to act in the premises.
The plan is to form Walla Walla county
into separate district and give joint
senator to Franklin and Adams. Wal
la Walla Bulletin Adams county will
lend its heartiest support to the above
plan. II would suit us exactly. As
matters now stand Adams county
always has to be satisfied with what
ever the Walla Walla politicians decide
we shall have, regardless of whether
our interests are properly represented
or not. If the forcing upon this county
of G. 7. HutsOn has brought about the
action stated in the above item, then
Adams county is willing to call the
matter squared.

NO INTEREST IN RUGBY.
Journals Correspondent Thinks The
Old Style of Football More
Favorable at Seattle.

On the 18th of December, Stanford
and Victoria Rugby football teams met
on Denny field, the resulting score being
Ito in favor of Stanford.
This was the first chance for Seattle
ties to see the game, so notwithstand-
ing the cold weather quite crowd were
on hand to see the game.
Many University students were also
witnesses of the game, after which they
expressed themselves heartily in favor
of the good old American way.
In the Rugby style of playing there
is very little that proves exciting. The
10 men line up on one end of the field
while their opponents take a position
in the center. The ball is then kicked
off and running, scrambling perform
ance begins. When the spheroid is
kicked out of bounds the teams form
long line at right angles to the side
line, after which the ball is thrown in
again and the running match continued.
When the ball is dead, serum is
formed, that is each team forms COM
pact mass by bending their bodies for
ward and interlocking arms, the whole
thing reminding one strongly of many
legged spider. The ball is then rolled
in among their legs with which they
heel the ball out to the fullback, who
passes it to some one else, thus getting
the game in action again.
To call Rugby football should be libel,
as it really looks as if it is a conglom-
crate mixture of tennis, track meet
and some wrestling.

result of working in places where
machinery is not properly safeguarded
against accident, or where inexperi-
enced minors are compelled to work at
machines that are dangerous despite
the honest efforts of the proprietors to
reduce such danger to minimum.
1T seems to me that the legislature
has duty to perform in taking steps
Immediately to save our children from
the dangers that now beset them in
mills and factories and other institu-
tions where they are compelled to
work at machines or near machinery.
Il contend that a boy. no matter how
bright he may be, or how much care he
may exercise in the performance of
his duties. is never as careful as man
would be under the same conditions,
and | want to see something done that
will prove our interest in this great
matter of human life.
1--WE must guard and protect our chill
dren from bodily harm with the same
care and attention that we exercise in
guiding them morally. Child life is too
precious to squander, and child labor,
when not properly safeguarded, is
menace to the future of our country.
Let us remember the children even if
we neglect other things, and the first
step for us to take is to protect them
at their work.
"The spectacle of child of tender
years being compelled to engage in any
kind of grinding labor in order to as
sist in the support Of himself and the
home is always sad, but when the
child is compelled to work amid sur
roundings dangerous and unhealthy,
the spectacle is tragic"

SUPERIOR COURT NEWS.
Judge Warren Presides and Delivers
Strong Lecture to Young King
on the Evils of Drink.

Last Friday was law day in the supe-
rior court, with Judge w. T. Warren
OF Davenport presiding. George King,
who, with William Erhorn and James
Patterson stole several sets of harness
from the barns of d. A. Scott and C.
F. johnson, northwest of Ritzville, on
Dec. II, 1906, was arraigned as delin-
quent child under the age of II years.
King, in reciting his story to the Judge,
attributed his downfall to evil associa-
tions and the use of liquor. He told
how, on the night of the burglary,
Erhorn and Patterson had urged him to
drink liquor and had laughed at him
when he refused to drink more. He
recited the story of his crime and told
how, after the harnesses had been hid
den, the three drove to Odessa, there
boarding the train TO Spokane. Soon
after he had reached Spokane, King
was located by Sheriff ellison and
brought back to Ritzville, but. Erhorn
and Patterson are still at large. Judge
Warren's lecture to young King was a
sensible one of the right sort, warning
him against evil companions and the
use of liquor. He told him that if he
was to become man he must make
himself one, and that the best men do
not touch liquor. King was allowed
his liberty and placed in charge of his
parents, with certain restrictions.
Clyde Smith, one of the jury COM
missioners, being at Kahlotus and ab-
sent from the county, Fred Thiel was
named to fill the vacancy. The regular
jury term will begin Feb. 1S and a
panel of 80 jurors will be drawn to con-
vene at that time, although the trial of

ROOT URGES
CHILD LABOR LAW

Judge Milo A. Root, of the State
Supreme Court, is an advocate of the
passage of law that will effectively
regulate, if not entirely prevent, child
labor in the state. Judge Root says:
''1n my private law practice and since
my election to the bench, | have been
constantly confronted with the appal-
ling harvest of lives and limbs reaped
in this state as a result of the laxity in
dealing with child labor. Go into the
logging camps, the lumber mills, the
factories of the state. and you encoun-
ter hundreds Of children, mostly boys,
ranging in age from II to Is years, who
have lost their legs, or arms, or fingers,
or toes, and sometimes the sight of one
eye, in the discharge of hazardous duties.
ut is time the state recognized this
distressing fact. and took steps to cur
tail the human devastation, the sacri-
flee of the lives of the children who
are to become the future men and
women of our citizenship. The sacri-
fee is too great to underestimate, and
this Legislature about to convene is
face to face with a problem that de-
mands immediate solution.
1.-The problem of child labor is not
new by any means. Throughout the
East, in great manufacturing and in
dustrial centers of the states that are
notorious for their disregard of human
life, especially the lives of children,
public opinion. the press, the pulpit,
and the world of letters are working
hand in hand to rescue our children
from the tolls of death or, what is
sometimes as bad, injury for life, as a

HUTSON'S HELP is NEEDED
in THE LEGISLATURE

c. I. Hutson is not now a member
of the senate of the state of Washing
ton, and has not been since his appoint
ment as assistant United States District
Attorney for the western district of
Washington in the early part of 1906,
is the opinion of lawyers and also the
opinion prevalent among the King
county members of the senate, says a
Seattle report.
The constitution of the state of Wash
ington, article 2, section Ia, contains
the following clause:
"No person being member of Con-
gress or holding any civil or military
Office under the United States, or any
other power, shall be eligible to be a
member of the legislature, shall be
elected to Congress or be appointed to
any other Office, civil or military, un-
der the government of the United
States or any other power, his ac-
ceptance thereof shall vacate his seat. :"
~. L. IlutSOil was cicCtcu ilcIuDtT
of the state senate from the eleventh
district, which is composed of the
counties of Adams, Franklin and part
of Walla Walla, in 1904 for term of
four years. In the spring of 1906 he
was appointed assistant United States
District Attorney for this district. If
the explicit language of that section of
the constitution means anything. it
means that his seat in the state senate
Immediately became vacated, and it
became the duty of Governor Mead.
under the constitution of the state,
which he is sworn to carry out to order
a new election.
''Hutson is not now member of the
senate, and every member of that body
will be violating his oath of office if he
allows Hutson to occupy his seat as sem
ator and take part in the proceedings,
says the Seattle Times. That oath is
that they will obey and protect the
constitution of the United States and
of the state of Washington.
'Hutson being allowed to take part
in the proceedings as member of the
senate, of which he is not legally a
member, is likely to result in endless
litigation, as laws which may be passed
on close vote, on which he may vote,
are likely to be attacked on the ground
of not having been properly passed.

January Term of Supreme Court.

The calendar for the January term
of the state supreme court, just issued,
contains 116 cases. The term began
last Monday and ends February ID, the
court sitting 10 days during that time,
on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
and Thursdays. King county occupies
little over seven days on the calendar
with AZ cases. Pierce has nine cases
and Spokane "a. Assignments accord
ing to the counties are as follows
January IA, Thurston, 3 cases; Jan.
Is, Lewis, 2; Chehalis, 2; Pierce, 9;
Jan. Is, Pierce, 6; Jan. II to 90 King,
6 cases daily; Jan. 80, King /; Kitsap,

lam, 3.

Hutson resigns position fully as
honorable as that of state senator, the
compensation for which is about So, 500
per annum. to take part in the proceed
ings of the Legislature which he has no
right to do, and for which his compen-
sation is only $500 for the session.
Senator Hutson is protegee of Senator
Ankeny, and at the behest of the senior
senator he swung over to Piles at the
last moment. As a reward he was
appointed assistant United States dis
trict attorney IN a district of which he
is not resident. The Ankeny inter-
ests are now endangered by the possi-
bility of the passage of direct prim-
ary bill, and these interests must be
protected. Hence he gives up a SO, 500
job to accept one that pays but $500
and that he cannot legally hold"
We willingly give space to the above
articles from the pen of Editor Lorton,
Of the WalIa Walla Bulletin, as it will
be exceedingly good reading for every
republican in Adams county. Mr.. Hut
son is the man who, through the
instrumentality of Mr.. Lorton more
than any other man, usurped the
nomination for state senator for this
district two years ago that by all rules
of right, should have gone to d. A.
Scott, of this county. And it would
have gone to Mr.. Scott had he been
the plant tool of the railroad ring that it
is alleged Mr.. Hutson was and still is.
Adams county accepted him because it
couldno help itself, but we strenuously
object to his being spoken of as Sen
ator for "Adams, Franklin and part of
Walla Walla.'' He belongs TO King
county, he lives in King county and he
serves the railroad interests of King
county and is IN the state senate at
this time because of the latter's in
fuence with King county's politics.
Walla Walla county says she don't
want him. We of Adams never did,
and do not now want him. Let King
county keep him.

identified and the person or persons

agent, and he shall be so instructed, to

that he is not to construe his duties as
requiring that, before proceeding in the
matter of an unlawful inclosure, there

complaint by some person or persons

States, and to give the widest publicity
thereto that the provisions of said act

destruction of Enclosures Nand obstruc-

To Retire the Stamp Thieves.
Secretary of the Interior.

Uncle Sam is going to make it ir-
teresting for burglars, who have the
temerity to interfere with his property
rights as represented in the postoffices
of the country, according to the latest
plans of the department.
1t is the purpose of the government
to issue to the various postoffices, six
thousand in number, stamps bearing
on their face the city and state in
which the office is located. This will
not be done in the case of fourth-class
offices on account of the comparatively
small capital in stamps which they
carry, and, of course, the less inviting
to the professional burglar.
The reason for this change is that a
man robbing postoffice would find it
exceedingly difficult, if not impossible,
to peddle his wares for if an office is
robbed and any unauthorized person be
detected selling the stamps bearing
the name of the state and city in which
it is issued, all one would have to do
would be to call policeman and hand
the culprit over to him.
'Under the present system we have
no means of identifying stamps, F" said
Postmaster Brunton, land man
might steal all we have and if skill
thief, he could dispose of them and
never be suspected of doing anything
illegal. Take the case of the robbery
that took place in the Chicago Office
years ago, when hundred thousand
dollars worth of stamps were stolen.
suppose everyone of those stamps
carried letters to their destination,
but the perpetrators of the crime were
never arrested, in fact their identity
was. as far as known, not even sus-
pected. If the names Chicago" and
'Illinois" had been printed on the
stamps. it is moral certainty that
the burglars would have left them
severely alone.
1t is known that a number of
'fences" are locatbd in the centers of
population, who do nothing but deal in
stamps and other postoffice stealings
and all the skill of the United States
secret service has been unavailing
against them. Occasionally they land
one in the penitentiary, but the most
of them seem to be able to elude their
vigilance. The latest order that has
been promulgated, hover, will drive
many of them out of business and the
burglar having his revenue cut off is
expected to confine his efforts to fourth
class offices, or retire from business
permanently in the postoffice branch
of his dangerous profession.
The new stamps have not yet arrived
but the postmaster expects them early
in January, having been notified by the
department to that effect. .-Walla

FENCES TO BE REMOVED
FROM PUBLIC DOMAIN

Following is copy of the order is
sued by Secretary Hitchcock to the
commissioner of the general land office,
under instructions from President
Roosevelt, relating to the removal of
illegal fences from the public domain
The enforcement of this rule will be
of great benefit to the ranchers and
cattlemen who operate individually and
on small scale, in that the big cattle
kings will be compelled to remove these
fences and thus open up thousands of
acres of fine pasturage to the use of
the general public. Considerable land
in Adams county will be effected by
the enforcement of the rule.
