The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1909-06-19

statement of Prosecuting Attorney Kirkpatrick,
who has notified a number of saloons regarding
the law. Screens must go, also dice boxes. Ciga-
rette smokers will be prosecuted Sunday closing
must be observed. The assistance of the sheriff's
office has been asked, and Sheriff Graham readily
agreed te cooperate in enforcing the laws. Some
of the laws enacted by the last legislature do not
appeal to all the people, but since they are on the
statute books. and all officers of the law are sworn
to enforce them, it is pleasing to note the stand
taken by the Stevens county officials, which is in
line with nearly all the other counties of the state

At the local option meeting held in Colvlle last
Sunday fund of $500 was raised for campaign
and election purposes, and general plans made for
securing vote in accordance with the local option
law passed by the recent legislature Delegates
were present from nearly all precincts in the
county. The officers of the Colville league were
made the officers of the county organization, and
each incorporated town will have it's own organi-
zation, to work under direction of the county
officers.
An election is called for Tuesday, Sept. 7, in
each incorporated town and in the county, and
petitions are now being circulated. Thirty per
cent of the voters at the last election is necessary
to call an election in each unit. The petitions
not less than 60 days previous to election, and no
signatures can be withdrawn after filing.

Last Monday was observed as flag day-the
132d anniversary of the date when the American
congress declared that the flag should be seven red
and six white stripes, with thirteen stars in a
circle on blue field.
Today the red, white and blue of the American
flor tha orto 9th Io
signed and the stars increased many fold so as to
number one for each commonwealth in the Union,
are symbols of the units of state The red in the
flag has been interpreted as offering defiance to all
forms of tyranny and oppression the white as being
indicative of purity and charity, and the blue as
representing justice and fidelity. y
Two weeks ago Editor Veatch stated in his
Statesman-Index that there was only room for one
good paper in Colville. But we see the Index is
still there -Northport Republican.
The new criminal code of this state says that
idiots shall not marry. Therefore, according to
the law, and contrary to many heretofore ex-
pressed opinions man who marres is not an
now if he gets married he is by law placed in the
affairs this, under our new code

Hay has made his hit and is now bowling right
and left to the screaming grandstand. He has
called the legislature to a special session, and
when they have exercised their power the govern
ment of the state of Washington will be run as
honest as the municipality of the New Jerusalem
The republicans elected about dozen officials last
foil and thev did If knowinu that thnv u,oro two
thirds rotten. There is not charge to be
brought before this special session that was not
rumored during the regular session last winter.
They killed it then, and what assurance have we
that they won't kill it again? Now the republi-
cans will spend $50, 900 of the peoples money for
the doing of something they were aware of and
knew should have been done last winter but re-
fused to do. What do you think of that for sys-
tenn of running state? Of course you like it, be-
cause you said you did when you voted last fall =
