WANTS NOT VOTES
BUT ADVERTISING
BELLINGHAM EDITOR FILES DE-
CLARATION OF CANDIDACY
FOR GOVERNOR.

OLYMPIA, July 1S-4 new candi-
date for nomination as governor or
the republican ticket appeared in the
field yesterday afternoon in the filing
of candidacy with the secretary OF
state of Oscar H Neil, publisher OF
''The New World" of Bellingham, a
Swedish paper Editor Neil was in
Olympia today on his way to Van
couver to attend the meeting of the
Washington Editors association there
tomorrow and the balance of the week.
Mr.. Neil frankly admitted in an in
terview with the representative Of The
Recorder this afternoon, that he had
not the slightest expectation of being
nominated for the office or of even in
terfering with the chances of any of
the other candidates. He said while he
might receive some second choice
votes, he didn't expect any first choice
ones. and probably wouldn't even vote
for himself.
With him, as he frankly states. his
candidacy is with the idea of securing
some cheap advertising for his paper,
and to show up the serious defects of
the new primary law in this regard

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (causey by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs

of letting anybody come before the
state in the light of a candidate for
the highest office in the state, merely
upon the payment of small sum.
Why" said Editor Neil, "a nat
uralized Hottentot could pay his $50
and be published all over the state as a
candidate for the governor of Wash
ington Think what a clever scheme
that would be for sideshow attraction
to advertise. The only real native

captivity Yet that is just what can
happen under the present draft of the
primary law
AS for me. 1 have only to pay the
$50 and run for governor, get my
name and that of my paper published
all over the state with my name on the
official ballot, and it may be consid-
cred as comforting some distinction on
the Swedish population of the state to
have a candidate for governor. I con-
slider the advertising is worth $500 to
me, and believe that the object lesson
Will have good effect in securing rem
edial changes in the primary.
Il am not opposed to the direct pri-
mary; quite the contrary. 1 advocated
the primary law in Minnesota when
there, until we got it. and 1 believe my
paper was one of the first in this state
to advocate the primary law. But be-
lieve no candidacy for state office
should be filed except upon a petition
signed by enough electors to show
some backing and evidence of good
ialtn. L am also against the second
cAolce proposition. If petition con-
tanning one per cent of the voters was
required for candidacy, there would be
no need of a second choice provision
and l would do away with the party

But just now am a candidate for
governor and will probably break the
record for having the least number of

ready set and my candidacy won't eff
lect IL unless some second choice
votes. But it is good advertising. and

CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP.

A. F. and S. H. Bryan have sue
ceeded Bryan & Clark as proprietors
of the Walla Walla Asctylene Gas
Co., located at 104 East Alder. Mr..
Clark having retired from the firm.
A. F. Bryan in speaking of the
change stated that his brother had
been anxious to secure an interest in
the firm and finally succeeded in pur-
chasing Mr.. Clark's interest.
"our company was organized about
four months ago." said Mr.. Bryan,
and we find that this is an excellent
field for concern of this kind. We
have enjoyed most gratifying business
both in the installation of asctylene
gas plants and our general line of gas
fixtures. 1t may be well to add that a
god asctylene plant properly installed
much more satisfactory 70 the av-

/, teachers if we hired anyone who ap-
piled but therein lies the difficulty.
We are trying to get experienced
teachers and discourage all young ap-
plicants without experience, who are
continually writing from the east. This
is not because we do not want east
ern teachers. but because We do not
want to discourage them by getting
them out here to take the examina-
tions and then have them fail. Grad
yates of normal or accredited school
are always welcomed but those who
have not finished their educations had
better do so before trying to teach out
here, because the examinations in
Washington are not easy, and many
have failed. 1t is not that we don't
want the young teachers, but it Is
long way for many of them to come
to meet failure, and grades are not
accepted, except from accredited
schools
mo the reason for the many
teachers quitting the schools of the
county cannot be ascribed to low
wages, for there is not a school in
the county that pays less than $50 pei
month, and few pay that little. The
majority of country schools pay $50
and many of them pay SIS. Village
schools pay from $50 to 800 and city
schools, of course. pay even more.
1.-The outlook for a good teaching
force this year is good and I see no
reason why the schools of the county
will not have their most prosperous
year during the coming terms"

from the fact that we fill these va

number of applicants to fill these posi-

Tomorrow will be a notable annivers-
airy for the suffragettes of the world
since it was just sixty years ago. or
July 10, 1848, that the first woman suf-
frage meeting in the worlds history
was commenced in this village. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton, Amelia jerks
Bloomer and other women who at
tanned international fame were among
| those gathered in the Wesleyan church
to voice the first faint cry Of feminine
rebellion, which has now swelled in
volume until it is heard around the
world.
OF the so women and nearly as
: many men who signed the declaration
of rights, which was the result of the
convention of 184S. only two are
known to be living. Mrs. William Clark
who signed the declaration sixty years
ego as Miss Susan Quinn, still lives
at her home in Garden street. Mrs.
Mary E. Hubbard, whose name ap-
peared as Miss Mary E. Conklin on the
declaration, is living at the Johnson
home at the age of 70 years.
James Mott, husband of Lucretia
Mott, was president of the convention
and Henry B. Stanton, husband OF
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was chairman
of the committee which drew up the
declaration Of rights. Frederick Doug
lass, who was then toiling for the
emancipation Of the slaves, was pres
ent,t as was Mrs. Amelia jerks
Bloomer, whose name has become
attached to a style of woman's dress
which she advocated as practical in
1851
Ansel BascOm, the first village presi-
dent of Seneca Falls, and then one of
the leading lawyers here. took a great
interest in the convention. It was due
largely to his efforts and those of Da-
vid Dudley Field that women were
given the right to earn money and be
the guardians of their children.
Susan B. Anthony, who later took
the leading part in the fight for wo-
mans rights came to Seneca Fans in
the spring of 1850 to attend an anti
slavery convention which was being
conducted by George Thompson and
William Lloyd Carlson. While here she
was the guest Of Mrs Amelia jerks
Boomer
1t was while returning from one of
the meetings that they stopped on a
street corner and Mrs. Boomer intro
duced Miss Anthony to Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. After that time Mrs. Stan
ton and Miss Anthony began their
work for women with great vigor.
