IS which has had the plan under con-
sideration for two years reported to
the faculty at the spring meeting, but

schools, in that the first two years of
university work will be preliminary to

POLITICAL NOTES

Sam H. Nichols may lose the nomination for sec
retary of state but if he does it will not be because
he has not worked for it while his opponent has
seemingly slept his rights: There is still time for
him to get in and drill butif he does not do it, and do
it fast unless the unexpected happens, he will fall
short of the mark
The host of friends of John H. Schvely declare
that he is practically without opposition for the NOM
ination of insurance commissioner Had Colonel
Lamping got in the fight it would have made an in
terestng battle but it now stands, he is almost
certain of winning.
c. W. Clausen will hardly have any opposition as
no one as yet has fled and will hardly do So Prof
Dewey is enjoying the same good luck of Mr. Clausen
as has filed to oppose him and the probabilities
are no one will do 1t be safely said that both
of the men just mentioned as good as elected
now.
The time for filing comes to end tomorrow,
Saturday evening, at closing hour, and if you have
not filed by that time, then you will have some
trouble in getting your name on the oflcial naGt.

there will be few last minute ilers in King county

WEEKS CURRENT COMMENT

With the prospects of more than another month
extreme hot and dry weather before u.s. the North
west seems to be dead up against dangerous burn
ing proposition Forest fires have already begun to
pet in their deadly work, and the danger period for
such fires has practically just begun The fires in
British Columbia, which occurred last Sat
urday and Sunday and which is still raging, destroy
ing number of small towns and rendering thous-
ands penness and homeless, is too sad to even think
about destructive fire has likewise ragged IN Ore
gon for the past week. and unless the greatest pre-
caution be used Washington too will soon be burn
ing mass Many lives have been lost in British Col
umbia which is something unusual in this section,
but one can hardly tell what will happen when once
these forest fires get under full headway: Ot course
the various state officers are doing all they can to
keep down the fires started by fends who ought to
be banshed to the desert of Sahara but that seems
next to impossible. They go out hunting and fish
ing and start big fire by which to sleep at night
and then carelessly leave it the next morning and
from it forest fire is started that not only destroys
millions of feet of growing timber, but some times
causes loss of life A man guilty of such an ofense
is just as much fit subject for life imprisonment as
the man who will shoot another human being from
ambush and is no less cowardly. Such man is not
knowingly taking human life but if he thinks
minute he knows there is danger of most anything
deplorable happening from such carelessness and he
should therefore be punished as though the mishap
had actually taken taken place.

Trusted Employee
Wrong Again


Trusted Employee ty Jail OF King county OF
Wrong Again the state OF washington is
another one of those so
much talked of Trusted Employees and this partlcu-
lar trusted employee better known as K. +. Park
hurst, has been Systematically stealing from the
First National bank of Seattle for the past fourteen
wears, thus robbing men, who have passed from the
scenes of life none the wiser of having been robbed
by this trusted employee. He has been handed down
from administration to administration and each one
branding him as one of the most trusted employees.
Just how men of moderate could lose $48, 600
and not feel it within few days is what puzzles
great many persons just now. That amount OF
money is fortune within itself and such fortune
as few men ever accumulate, and yet this man Park
hurst is able to rob the bank of that sum- and those
whose moneys invested in the institution DO not
discover it or feel the loss Perhaps such thing is
possible, but it sounds fshy and yet we have no ex-
planation Almost every day one sees in the daily
paper where some trusted employee" has gone
wrong by Systematically robbing his employers,
which had covered long period of years. 1t is very
evident that the longer one stays IN one place IN
financial or commercial institution the easier 1T be-
comes for him to deceive those above him, and that
of itself should suggest to the head men that not only
their books should be regularly exported, but those
trusted employees should be given some other place
where trusted employees are needed and some other
trusted employee given his, and it would further
seem that it would be wise to not make known to
those trusted employees what place OF responsibility
they would next hold in the institution. Either the
head men themselves careless of their own inter
est in such places, or there is some other KIND OF
screw loose.

Senator Allison
Passes Away
1t could hardly be said of the
Senator William B. Allison of

Passes Away Senator William B. Allison of
Iowa. that 'En the midst of
life we are in DEATH" sagey declared the great
Roman statesman, because he had reached ripe old
age, whose life from maturity to death was one of
confined usefulness and likewise activity He was
the father of the senate from service standpoint,
and it might be said that he for the past twenty
years has been the great moving spirit of that august
assembly. Believing that he had quite outved his
day of political usefulness the younger element OF
the Republican party of Iowa made an effort to sup
plant him in the senate by eecting the young and
vigorous Cummings as his successor and hoty con-
tested primary election was held only feW months
ago. in which the Republican voters OF the state OF
Iowa were called upon to decide between the two for
United States senator, and the result was an over
wheming victory for Senator Allison thus showing
that he still close to the hearts OF the people
The lives of such men will not only be bright pages
in the history of the United States, but their names
will be handed down to generations and like the
great of the Roman empire, will pass on and on
down the corridors of time; yea, perhaps even Tor
centuries and centuries and centuries after the
United States will have ceased to be great and
powerful nation and only the relics OF 1t greatness
be left to tell the tale The death of Senator ALI
son makes the election of Governor Cummings as his
successor possibility although the governor will ap-
point a successor of the senator at an early date
The next legislature however, will elect successor
and Governor Cummings has announced his candi-
dacy. The Cummings Idea has gained considerable
notorety throughout the country and II he is elected
next January to the senate he will doubtless al
