Dual Office Holding and Unnecessary
Offices.

1 am emphatically opposed to dual
Office holding in any capacity, and, as
far as it rests within my power, if
elected, | intend to see that this Iprac-
tice shall no longer prevail. | am
unalterably opposed to the creation
of any more offices by the legislature.
More than this, am in favor of the
abolition of all unnecessary Offices.
The multiplication of boards through
out the state, rendered necessary by
our conditions, seems to have carried
in their wake the creation of inumera-
bic minor positions, the necessity for

proper legislative action along these
lines, large sums of money can be
saved to the state. j. Y. Sanders.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE UMPIRE

At the ball park, while waiting
for the rival world heaters to
warm up, an April privilege de-
MED the suffering spectators, Rollo
and his father whiled away the
tedium by weighing it awhile.
"Oh, father" remarked Rollo, be-
tween peanuts, where does the UNI
pre sequester himself when not in
the arduous act of umpiring?'
in emitting that Interrogation,
Rollo.' said his father, you evince
the wisdom of the serpent and the
discernment of the boa constructor.
No one ever gives thought to the
umpire after the last man is out.
Yet, what becomes of him? The
crowd goes away piled thick on the
street cars like flies on lump of
sugar. The visiting team of husiies
rumbles away in medieval trans
fer company bus amid shower of
tin cans from the kid contingent.
The home team disappears into the
club house, and the Secretary-treas-
urer goes hence in coupe, escort
ing a water bucketful of halves and
quarters to the safety deposit vault.
But who ever sees the umpire make
his getaway? No one"
Can you solve the problematical
mystery father?' quoth Rollo eager.

lantern at a lawn fete.

II is that the umpire dives under the
grand stand, peels off his uniform,
shayes off his eyebrows and dons
the disguise Of a wienerwurst ped
der after which he is able to min
gle with the crowd with impunity
till he can slip into his hotel, where
he has his meals sent up to the
room. | advise you, Rollo, not to be
an umpire when you grow up"
Il won't father" said Rollo. duti-

WARD GIVES UP

Poor Piggy" Ward! More than
one fan who used to delight in
"Piggy's" believing voice has been
surprised the last few days to hear
the weak pipes in place Of the old
megaphOne ones. But Piggy
cant help it. More than a year
ago piggy" got shocked--50O volts
went through his body and shrivel-
ed him up for a time. Last year
he was unable to play the game,
and this year on account OF i'll
health it was decided to put him
in the umpire's position. But even
that the old stalwart second base
man cant stand, and yesterday he
reluctantly told President Lucas
that he had to call it off. Umpiring
is about as strenuous a job as play
ing second base. Piggy Will
probably go to Hot Springs, Ark,
and recuperate some more.
Just who will be appointed in
Wards place is unknown just at
present, but Lucas is expected to
make an announcement soon.
Ralph Dodd, the umpire who
looks like canary, will umpire the
rest of the series between the Taco
ma and Spokane ball teams. I'm.
pire Ward announced last night
that he did not believe he would
be able to umpire today's game
President Lucas made Dodd an
offer to sign to umpire through the
season, but DOdd'S business will
not allow him to accept. How.
ever he volunteered his services for
the present series.
Dodd umpired a part of last sea
son but was forced to quit on ac'
count of his business. He umpired
most OF the last season Of the City
league and his work was excep
tionally good both with the
amateurs and professionals.
