ABOLISH POLITICS,
DECLARES PROF.
zUEbL|N

"Abolish party politics in NUM-
cipal government. Let every citi-
zen take an interest in the bust
ness just as he would in private
corporation in which he owns
stock. These are the two main
essentials for good government"
said Prof. Charles Zueblin, the
noted sociologist, who spoke in
the Temple of Music here Satur-
day night.
Prof. Zueblin strongly favored
the commission plan Of govern
ment for cities as indicating the
return of the people to practical
business methods in the conduct
of their municipal aairs. Civil
service, he says, is still necessary
in government because the people
have not yet learned the full les
son of municipal business and
abolished the idea of politics.
National parties have no more
to do with the municipal govern
ment of Tacoma than Of heaven,
Professor Zueblin declared, and he
opined that they had little to do
with the latter place.

IF YOU GET DRUNK WHILE IN
PUBLIC OFFICE, OUT YOU GO!

MARENGO, Ia. Oct. 4.-"1f
dissipation interferes with the
business of the public office you
hold, quit the public office!"
This, in effect, is what the Cos
son law tells officeholders in
Iowa, as former mayor A. M.
Henderson of this city knows
quite we'll. A few weeks after the
law was enacted, making it illegal
for an Iowa official to get drunk
or neglect his duty, Mayor Hen
derson put it to the test.
Just what theory he was acting
under is not clear, but one thing
is certain: Mayor Henderson got
drunk; he admitted he was
drunk; said he was proud of it
and it was his own business.
Under the old regime in Iowa
such would have been the case,
but after an inquiry by the dis
trict Mayor Henderson was re-
moved so quickly that he barely
had time to get sober when the
custer went into effect.
THE Cosson law, its supporters
think, will stand as a model to all
states which would exact good
service from their servants. Sem
ator Cosson, author of the law,
formerly was assistant to Attor-
ney General H. w. Byers and the
attorney general is staunch in adj
vocating that it be supported to
the letter.
Never again will an Iowa Off
cial be able to snap his fingers in
the faces of his constituents when
a complaint is made.
The law gives power to five citi-
zens to make charges against the
offending official, and the
charges must be heard by Judge
in q district removed from the
one where the charges originate.

LISTER IS IN THE
RACE AGAINST
NJ CREOLE

There was considerable politics
at Olympia Saturday when the
democrats finally nominated Ern-
est Lister of Tacoma for congress
man.
Billy WEIGH, J. C. Donnelly and
Frank Smalley led a Pierce county
delegation and tried to force the
nomination of Hugh Wallace. Lis
ter was the choice of the Maurice
Langhorne and o. G. Ellis demo
Gratis.
Lister, however. refused to take
the nomination If w. II. Kneelant
of Olympia desired it. Kneeland
finally came out and declared he
did not want it and wanted Lister
and, on vote in the Pierce county
caucus, the ballot stood II for LIS
ter to 16 for Wallace, with Lister
refusing to vote. Lister was then
nominated and he at once certified
his name to the secretary of state.
In the meantime the republicans
had discovered that Judge Nc
Credie's certificate of nomination
was not on file. Chairman Finch
of Aberdeen had failed to sign the
paper and he was hustled to Olym-
pia by hurry-up call over the
telephone and the republican NOM
inee was duly authorized for q
place ON the ballot.

Efforts OF the telegraph compa-

Portland. the supposed woman in
the case of J. d. Mclean, who
committed suicide near the term
mus of the American lake car line

Ore, a friend of Mclean, has
been sent, but so far no reply
has been Forthcoming.
The letters addressed to Nc
Lean by Harris were dated in
1905 and 1907, while those from

last bearing the date of April,
1909, and sent from Portland,
