support from all voters who de-
sire to see this important office
filled by a man who can attend
to his duties without the constant
aid of the county commissioners.
He lives at Tweedie, and is we'll
known on the east side on the
county, where he may be expected
to receive unanimous support.
H. w. Sparks for county COM
missioner is too we'll known to
the residents of Stevens county
to need any newspaper eulogies.
His vote will come from all
parties, for his efforts toward the
growth and development of Ste
vens county have never ceased
in the nearly 20 years of his res
idence in the county. w. l.
Fountain of Locke has been
county commissioner for two
years from the third district.
When a man has filled his office
with credit, it is a financial gain
to the district to continue him in
office.
D. F. Ham, or Frank as he is
better known, is the candidate
for the office of treasurer. He
has lived in the Colville valley
for 19 years and his capability
to care for the office is un-
questioned.
Stevens county will be repre-
sented in the next legislature.
The democrats propose to have
the county represented by M. M.
Sammons of Newport and S. C.
Sturman of Maud. The repub-
licans propose to represent Col
vile by two candidates from
Colville. If Colville needs two
representatives at Olympia, prob
ably the republican candidates
could do the work to the salts

cans; but if the county is to be

The Primary Election in Stevens County

precincts where the first and Sec
ond choice totals do not balance.
The only contest within the
democratic ranks was a friendly
one for the sheriff's nomination.
Mr.. Lynch polled a good vote
considering the short time he
was actively in the field, and
states that he is satisfied with
the result, and will work for the
ticket just as hard as though he
had been nominated. The gen.
eral impression prevailed that
Mr.. Graham was entitled to a
second term, and this he will un-
doubtedly be given by the voters.
The entire democratic ticket
this year is a credit to the party
and to the people Of the county.
VIII. Graham, ia. Rockford, w.
l. Fountain and Miss Daisy Hard
ask for a second term, and the
efficient manner in which they
have conducted the affairs of their
various Offices is the very best of
argument why they should be
retained.
For the office of county auditor
there is no man in Stevens county
better qualified by knowledge and
actual experience than Thomas R.
Major of Cedonia. His work as
county commissioner has placed
him in touch with all the business
affairs of the county, which
knowledge will be indispensable
in auditing the business affairs
of the county.
L. F. Ledgerwood has had pre-
vious experience in the clerks
office, and he is known as one of
the best officials the county ever
had. L. L. Tow er's long expert
ence as a mining engineer and
mineral surveyor has placed him
in the front rank in his profess
sion. George w. Johnston for
assessor will meet with a ready

Last weeks issue of the Exam
iner contained the official count
of the primary election for Ste
vens county. The official can
vass was not completed until last
week Thursday, and the Exami-
ner was the first to print the re-
suit.
The exact vote of the state has
not been determined yet, but it
seems evident that Chadwick,
Crow and Root are the nominees
for supreme Judge, Humphries
being a close fourth.
The votes on first and second
choice are sadly mixed in this
county. On each Office to which
the second choice provision of
the law applies, the total first
choice vote should exactly equal
the total second choice vote. If
the two totals do not exactly bal
ance it is then evident that bal
lots were enormously counted
where the voters expressed but
one choice, or else the votes were
entered in the wrong columns in
the poll books. In either case,
in the event of close race be-
tween two candidates, the errors
might put a wrong phaze on the
result. There is discrepancy
of 72 in the republican vote for
congressman, AZ for governor,
40 for lieutenant governor, 1O2
for attorney general, and 8 for
insurance commissioner. Other
counties in the state have found
the same condition, and what the
result will be is not known. AS
sistant Attorney General Knick-
erbocker expressed the opinion
that the state board should be
guided by the face of the returns
in certifying to nominations. If
any candidate feels aggrieved he
can then file a contest, which
would result in a recount in those

IOpSy-TurVy Land.

Haiti has been suffering from
revolutionary fits and Nightmares
for more than a century. The trou-
bic began back IN the days of the
French revolution, when the blacks
and mulattOes, inflamed by events
across the sea, rose up, and, after
a bloody struggle, drove their
French masters out of power. Since
then tranquility has been q rare
state in the history of the UnfOrtu-
nate neighbor of Santo Domingo.
MonarchicaI and republican forms
of government have changed places
one with the other, as if it were all
part Of some nursery game; but
back of these transformation have
been scenes as fOrbidding as any to
be found in history. Graft. murder,
disorder, and Generalization have
combined to reduce the Haitians to
a stage of moral, intellectual, and
industrial decay as low, if not lower,
than may be found nowadays in
central Africa
Haiti may have possibilities. But
they can never be realized under the
present topsy-tnrvy system.

JEWELS OF SLAMS QUEEN.

One of the finest collections of jewels

Siam. The walls Of her bed chamber
are literally ablaze with precious stones,

emeralds fashioned into quaint neck
laces of fabulous value.
One little article alone. intended to

a lotus flower, and is valued at e15OO0.
The King, too, possesses a wonderful
stock Of jewels, and not only is his
throne which is made OF pure cold

Before the Election.

Three sideights on the prevailing
industrial situation were provided
by yesterdays news. The first is a
statement by one of the prominent
steamship agents in New York:
Steamship figures show that immi-
grafton is practically at a standstin In

the number OF outgoing was but as. 642

The second is a part of a Wash

discussion in Congress of the causes
and effects of the recent panic:

Senator William Pinkney Whyte.

From seat in the Legislature of
Maryland in 1s47, 10 q seat n the
United States Senate in 1905, the
public career of William Pnlney
Whyte, covering almost sixty-one
years, is one of the most remark
able in American history. He was
the youngest member of the Legis-
lature in which he began his public
life, and the Oldest member of the
Senate at the time of his death.
A mere catalogue of the offices
held by him during nearly two
thirds of a century OF his active life
would be too long to print, striking
as it would be. He was a Senator
from Maryland in 1865, so that the
remarkable span of forty years
separated his first from his last
service in that chamber. He was
twice appointed and twice elected
Senator. He served his State and
his home city of Baltimore in al
most every office TO which he was
eligible-councilman and mayor and
city attorney and charter commits
sioner of his city; legislator, attor-
ney general, treasurer, and gov
ernor of his State; delegate to ma
tional conventions, and member of
various State and national commits
sions which performed difficult and
distinguished services.
Senator Whyte was, indeed, in a
marvellous way a link between the
present and the past. His career
began before the Mexican war. 1t
embraced half-the magical half
of the constitutional life of this ma
ton. His grandfather, like himself,
died while a member of the Senate.
His family was one of the most dis
tinguished of colonial and early con-
stitutional days. 1t may well be
doubted if there survives him any
public servant in America whose
service has covered so wide a range
of activities; certainly none in
whose case that service has been so
long-continued. He was, indeed, the
grand old man of Maryland; and
Maryland was as proud of him as
he was of If

Discussion Of Reform viii
Be Heard in Both
Houses.

While little has been heard q late
about the movement for the reOrganiza-
ton of the Navy Department. save for
the fact that the hearings prompted
by the ReuterdahI charges are being
conducted by the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs, It Is likely more " II be
heard about It before the session closes
On the House side, Representative
Dawson introduced a reorganization
bill. calculated TO consolidate some Of
the bureaus and concentrate authority
in the Navy Department and to sim
plify its organization. This bill has
been held back until the naval appro-
Driation bill 3 out Of the way.
II is expected In the discussion IN
the House on the naval oil. more or
less will be brought out concerning the
present organization ana the allega-
lions that by reason OF Jealousy and
conflict Of authority among different
BUREAUS the efficiency of the depart
ment is greatly crippled.
May Act Next Session.
Il Is deemed improbable there will be
any legislation for the reorganization
OF the Navy Department at this ses-
sion OF Congress. but IL is hoped by
those interested in such reorganization
that the subject will be gone into far
enough 20 make legislation possible
next winter. 1t is possible the House
Committee on Naval Affairs 2gill con-
duet some hearings before the session
is over. But more important than this
is the fact that under the direction Of
"a

navy yards for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning whether these yards cannot be
run more economically. A pan Of con-
soIdation and reorganization has been
decided on for Brooklyn and Boston,
and is likely 70 be extended 10 other
yards, taking the place OF the system
long in vogue whereby different Du-
reaus maintain separate shops and
plants IN the same yards, policy the
members Of the House Naval Affairs
Committee who Inspected yards last
summer condemned as expensive and

Thus, II appears. something has al
ready been accomplished IN the way
Of concentration without legislation Il
