Not the Only One.

Again is il necessary to record the
lamentable fact that Indiana has made
claim TO a false distinction. For a year
or more that State boosted a citizen who
was the first TO enlist in the Union army.
This claim only a few weeks ago was
knocked slky-high by the official records
IN the off1ce of Adjt. Gen. Ainsworth. Then
Indiana came to the front with the claim
that In the person Of Henry Galloway she
had the distinction Of containing among
her citizens the sole survivor Of the
storming Of Chapultepec. Only yesterday
The Herald made note Of this interesting
fact with some misgivings. And aow

event OF che Mexican war, but he says
that there are in Washington al least two

battle. one Of these is Gen Drum, and

Supreme Court Indignant
Over RumOrS as TO
Opinions in Grays
HarbOr Case.

OLYMPIA, Oct. 15.-The state su-
preme court may direct searching
investigation of charges that have
been circulated concerning the court
and it's employees by persons at Grays
Harbor and may order the punish
ment, for contempt of court of those
responsible for the rumor.
The report circulated there was
that the brother of an attorney who
recently visited Olympia had, while
here, been shown the notes by a
stenographer of the supreme court,
and that these notes showed that
four members of the supreme bench
had decided against and three men,
bers of the bench for the constitu-
tionality of the act of the last legis-
lature creating the county of Grays
Harbor.
Based on this report, it is said
wagers of large sums of money were
made at Grays Harbor as to the de-
cisiOn.
The supreme court decision in this
case has not been rendered. The
stenographers of the supreme court
have been employed for a long pc
riod of time, and every member of
the bench has absolute confidence in
their honor.
The name of the judge to whom a
case Is assigned is always kept secret,
and under the rule it is never safe
when an opinion is progressing from
judge to judge for even the members
of the bench to determine just what
the final decision will be.
In view of these facts the court is
naturally determined to preserve all
necessary secrecy concerning its de-
liberation until result is arrived at,
and its conclusion made public.

DIRECTPR|MARYLAW
Validity of Law Attacked
in the Courts. May
be Declared I'm
constitutional.

OLYMPIA, Oct. 15.-Suit admitted
as designed to have Washington s
new direct primary law declared un-
constitutional and void was instituted
in the Thurston county superior
court this afternoon by Gordon Mack
ay, a local attorney. The suit is an
application for a writ of mandate to
compel City Clerk James Dever, of
Olympia, to place the name of P. L..
Parr on the primary ballot as a can
didate for city attorney on the Cit
liens ticket.
Parr presented the demand to the
city clerk today and it was refused,
because Parr refused to accompany
the same with the $40 fee the direct
primary act requires candidates to
pay, according to section of the
primary law.
The application for writ was
made to Superior Judge o. V. Linn,
who has set it for hearing on argu-
ment Monday, October %. Mr.. Mack
ay says he hopes to get the case be-
fore the supreme court and decision
from the latter tribunal within a few
weeks.
Mackay is a member of the city
council elected on the Citizens ticket.
He declares he represents none but
Mr.. Parr, who is law clerk in his
office, in the action, but says frankly
his purpose is to have the whole law
declared unconstitutional if possible.
The point chiefly relied upon by
him to kill the law is the exaction
of the candidates for office. He con-
tends this is in violation of both fed
eral and state constitutions, which
provide that election under both fed
eral and state constitutions provide
that electors shall be free and equal.

What 10 to he done BY Chehalis coun.
ty in the way Of advertising its resources,
primarily is in the hands of the county
commissioners, but in reality is in the
hands OF the business element OF the
Grays Harbor section Of the county.
To do large things men must think

ture OF Grays Harbor. which is not one

things. it is necessary thai the men who
do large things, without going into bank.

tising Chehalis county at the coming
Exposition which 10 to be held in Seattle
in 1909, and do it at once. as the prelim.
mary steps alone will take several
months.
Commissioner Burnett. in urging this
matter upon the attention Of the county
commissioner and citizens generally,
places weight upon the fact OF the neces-
sity Of Chehalis county building, as not
only q place in which our exhibits can
be placed, and 90 place where Chehalis
county citizens can congreeate and be
entertained, but the building itself will
be Q spectacular advertisement OF the
push and energy and enterprise of its
people.
1t is true that . large appropriation
has been made by the state for Expos.
tion purposes, but that means a general
display Of the products and industries of
the state-not any county in particular.
And while each county will have its
products labeled as to locality. yet it is
only passing memory and not a strik-
ing feature.
The last legislature passed an act en-.
abling each county in the state to levy q
special tax Of not more than one-half Of
one mill on the last assessment valuation
Of property in each county for Exposition
purposes. This would give Chehalis
county $1,000, which with a donation
from the state and other personal assist.
ance, will be ample to meet all demands.
Ii the county commissioners do not wish
to make levy they have the power to
appropriate any sum that they may
think is proper from the county treasury
for this purpose.
Skagit county has already taken steps
in this matter, and while she is similar
in her resources, she is much smaller
county than We are, and has not sur
plus lying idle in her treasury. Not 60
far off the general line OF travel as we
are, she recognizes the fact that to be
known che must advertise.
As a suggestion, it might be we'll for
the Chambers Of Commerce Of Aberdeen
and Hoquiam to start the ball rolling
and call the attention of the other civic
bodies in the county to their aid in
boosting the proposition.

France decided the motion by adding
that all other people must be notified to

his vote, the mayor had made and passed
