is playing highball with the view Of making
home run as soon as the light begins to
sufficiently dawn for him to see a refuge hole.
While w. H. Paulhamus has repeatedly de-
clared he was not seeking the gubernatorlal
nomination, yet rumor has it that he is en-
deavoring to cut his political cards in such a
manner as to bring about popular cry from
the people that he be nominated for govern
or. He has taken the lead in the cause of
the insurgents on the floor Of the senate,
which has given him more notoriety than any
of the others got. His successful fight in hav-
ing Railroad Commissioner McMillln return
his unearned salary to the state has made
him even more popular than he was before
and at the closing session Of the legislature
a blander and a broader smile spread over
his face when some one would whisper " Gov
ernor Paulhamus' in his ear than when the
session first began; hence there must be some
thing in it.
Just as was predicted by the Seattle Re-
publican some weeks ago, the Ross mvestl-
cation committee found nothing in its over
hauling Of the state land commissioners OF
fee that in any wise reflected on his method
of conducting the affairs of the office or his
personal integrity Yea, instead Of Ross be-
inc censured he is stronger in the public eye
now than he was before the investigation.
The investigation, however did bring out
the fact that the state land commissioner s
office was sadly in need of legislative assist
ance and both branches OF the legislature
hastened to pass measures which IN the fu-
ture will greatly relieve the land commission
err of MANY distractions which hindered the
businesslike conduct Of the office. The ma
licious spirit that prompted the investigation
made desperate effort to pass one or two
measures that would cripple Ross, but III
that most signal failure was the result
How remarkable that lifelong Republicans,
who have never shown any inclination to in
lure their fellow partisans should SO
far forget their party allegiance to chase off
after false gods as did those Republicans
who tried to injure Commissioner Ross be-
cause a Democratic newspaper had demand
ed it. The very Republican that introduced
the resolution in the senate asking for an
investigation of the state land commission
er's office, at the suggestion of the Seattle
Daily Times, knew from personal experience
that that paper s only political stock in trade
was the publishing Of malicious lies about
Republican candidates, and in many IN
stances his personal friends, and yet he was
influenced by the vile lies of the Times to
put a Republican on the political rack. How
ever, as said above Ross was not hurt, and
if the other fellow got any fun out OF it
Ross has no objections.
At last the state of Washington has been
separated into congressional districts, and

TROOPS.

BUCHAREST. Roumania. April 5.-The
determined bravery of the insurgent peas
antry in some of the recent fighting is
illustrated by a story OF the battle Of Bal
aneshti near Craiova, published in local
newspaper. The insurgents. who num-
bered ten thousand. armed with guns. axes.
knives and scythes and accompanied by
their wives and children, made a desperate
attack on a body of Roumanlan infantry
and artillery. The latter opened fire. killing
large numbers of the peasants. who after
an unequal combat, retreated to a village,
carrying their dead and dying. Half an
hour later a long funeral procession, headed
by a priest, issued from the village, the
coffin being followed by thousands of weep
ing peasants. AS they approached the
troops the commandant ordered the mourn
met by a volley, which killed or wounded
several Of them.
Peasants Very Brave.
/ After further fighting the remainder OF
the peasants fed. leaving the collins.
which, when the soldiers examined them.
were found to be empty. few minutes
later the peasants again attacked the
troops meeting the same fate. Artillery was
then brought into action and the tnsur
gents were summoned to evacuate the VIII
lage within three hours. The peasants unil
lied the interval to unite their force ana
delivered fourth desperate assault on the
troops. advancing in the face OF the artil-
lery fire and rife voleys and getting into
hand-to-hand conflict with the soldiers
The peasants however were defeated In
the end and the houses of the village were
RACED to the ground by the fire OF the field

Is TEACHING THRIFT
CLAIM MADE ON BEHALF OF AS
socIATED CHARITIES.

There Is one very important considera-
e ton which l hope will be suggested to the
general public by the unsolicited gift Of
$1,000 which Mrs. Page has made to begin
an endowment fund for the Associated
Charities" Secretary Weller said today.
Educational institutions are receiving gifts
of all sizes, and the wholesome habit Of en-
downing educational work has been we'll es-
tablished This Is a good thing and my
point is simply that the Associated Chari-
ties should also be considered an educational
Institution of fundamental Importance.
THE Associated Charities is educating the
neediest. least resourceful and most neg
/ lected members of the community. 1t is
! teaching thrift by the yearly collection Of
more than $4,000 savings gathered in PEN
MES and nickels from poor families. 1t is
/ educating neglected people to better home
life by the tactful suggestions and constant
influences of its visitors 1t Is teaching
! abits of sobriety and industry by with
holding relief from people who will not ac-
cept opportunities to help themselves, and
by obtaining employment, suggesting lines
of useful activity and developing self help
In every possible manner. The children Of
the poor are being educated by the Asso-
ciated Charities to the end that they shall
not grow UP to be shiftless or dependent.
Through encouraging the development Of
social settlements. through summer outings.
through the Inauguration Of Fairgrounds
and through the daily influences of its visit
ISOLATED Charities Is educating both the
children and the parents Of the present gen.
GRAFTON to higher standards Of good citizen
ship.
Its Educational Value.
The educational value of the Associated
Charities" Mr.. Weller added "ls also
being felt by the community as a whole
for citizens in general are being educated
TO wiser methods of charity and to higher
pressed in personal service to needy fam
flies and neglected neighborhoods Instead
of feeding the poor and forgetting them
the community is learning to work for the
removal OF the causes of distress by the
improvement of housing conditions the
prevention OF tuberculosis and the enlist
ment OF volunteer visitors who bring to
neglected households the ideals and prac-
teal suggestions which develop useful
lives. Fifteen or twenty years ago the
practice in Washington was to spend $40
On or sD.uW in a single winter season in
way which encouraged certain persons
10 leave their employment. In contrast
consider the present fact that beggars
have disappeared from the streets and
that out OF 4,3II families dealt with last
Year by the Associated Charities only
1.p6 were given material aims because
methods OF wiser help were found for the
others
No solicitation of funds for the eudow-
ment OF the Associated Charities is planned
at present. The board OF managers"
Mr.. Weller explained. expressed desire
not To interfere with the special collec-
ton which Is now being urged for another
very worthy local cause. IN which all good
citizens are cordially Interested"
