AN HONEST MAN FROM TWISP
Joe Matthews Pays Old Notes That
Have Been OutIawed for Years

1t is a somewhat rare. occurrence
to find man making a business of
hunting up his old '93 paper for the
purpose of paying it. Such thing,
however, happened this week when
Joe Matthews arrived in Palouse
Monday from Twisp, this state, after
an absence of several years, and COM
menced to make inquiry for some
old notes which remained unpaid as
a result of the hard times of '93. He
finally located the paper and made
a satisfactory settlement. The notes
were clearly outlawed. which fact
Matthews knew. Honesty in such. a
marked degree is not met with every
day.
Mr.. Matthews was raised in the
family of John Petty, on Fou-mile,
and was we'll known in the Palouse
country q few years ago.-Palouse
Republican.

OPPOSED TO
DIRECT VOTE
Gum Opposed to Election OF United
States Senators by the Vote
of the People

OLYMPIA, March 6.-By vote
of 10 to 27 the senate today went
on record as opposed to permitting
the people of Washington to vote di-
rectly on the selection of United
States senators. The vote was a nom
partizan one. Some days ago COM
munication was received from the
Oregon legislature asking Washing
ton to join in memoralizing congress
to submit a constitutional amend
ment providing for the election OF
United States senators by the people,
and without opposition the senate
adopted a motion instructing the jul
dietary committee to draw up such
a memorial and submit it to the SEN
ate for adoption. This memorial has
been sumbitted, but not acted upon
When it comes up it will probably be
adopted, since it is generally recog-
nized that the memorial is fruitless.
There is, however, another method
of reaching the same solution of the
question, and that is by providing
for an advisory vote on United States
senators in general elections, to give
the people an opportunity to express
their preferences. While the result
of such a vote would not be legally
binding on the members of the legis-
lature, it would be morally and pOlit-
ically so. Such method of permit
ting the people to select their
own senators was proposed by
Senator Cotterill of King, in senate
bill 297. The bill provides that the
names of party senatorial candidates
be placed on the ballot at general
elections and returns canvassed and
certified to the legislature. The bill
was referred to the committee on
privileges and elections, which re-
ported it back, recommending that it
be indefinitely postponed. Cotterill
moved as substitute that it be
placed on. the calendar for considera-
ton on it's merits. On this substi-
tute motion the vote was taken, re-
sulting as follows:
For the direct vote-Blair, Boone,
Cotterill, MCGOWAN, Paulhamus, Pol
son, Reed, Rosenhapt, Scott, Smith
10.
Against-Allen, Anderson, Booth,
Bratt, Brown, Condor, Davis, Graves,
Gum, Hunter, Hutson, Kennedy,
Kline, Knickerbocker, McGregor,
Minkler, Nichols, Pauly, Piper, Potts,
Presby, Rands, Ruth, Stevenson,
Sumner, Veness, Williamson.
