The Special Session.

The special legislative session that
convened yesterday was called osten-
sibly for the purpose of 1mpeaching
Insurance Commissioner Schively, an
ACCOMPLISHMENT that could have been
procured at much less expense In
the criminal courts. He could have
been tried for malfeasance in office,
and his conviction would have va
Gated the office under the constitu-
ton.
The cost of the special session
can scarcely be estimated, as It's
length is without limit, the minimum
figure placed upon it being $4,000,
and it may exceed 100000. To be
sure, there may be a general shak-
ing up of the rotten places in the
state government and washing OF re-
publican dirty linen that may posi-
bly, be worth the cost, but, the fact
that the session is necessary empha-
sizes the necessity of recall law
and directs attention to the fulfill!
of a primary law framed more in the
interest of party organization than
OF good government.
A recall law would act as check
upon dishonest officials as nothing
else. and would afford a direct and
comparatively economical means OF
getting rid of such as no law would
check. If such law be passed at
this session, and the primary law
amended along the lines of the bill
originally introduced by the Wash
ington Direct Primary League, the
measures would repay the cost of the
sitting.

GRAFTERS ARE VIOLENT

Mrs. Fremont Older in an article
in the July McClure's on San Fran
cisco graft prosecution, tells how
BOSS" Ruef and his hackers tried
to stop the circulation of news
paper that was fighting them. She
says:
"An election was approaching.
Ruef and Schmitz hoped to capture
the city for the third time. Now
Ruef saw big goals; it should be
Governor SchmitZ; it should be Unit
ed States Senator Ruef. That edi-
tor, yelping Of his crimes, disturbed
the boss's dream. Ruef determined
that the Bulletin should not be sold
or distributed; it should not exist.
To this end he organized band of
thugs who called themselves news
boys. They pretended to no griev-
ance and their sole purpose was to
destroy the Bulletin. Carriers were
assaulted; they afterward voted for
SchmitZ Merchants were struck
with stones and bricks for buying
the paper; they afterward voted for
SchmitZ. Windows were broken in
the Bulletin office Horses were un-
hitched from delivery wagons. Men
were manned for life; the police
looked the other way. Mr. Older
was followed to the very door of the
Palace Hotel by bowling mob,
which threw sticks and stones at
him. The deputy sheriffs who were
called in looked the other way.
Schmitz addressed the thugs in
hall. No one could sell or deliver
the Bulletin; it was useless to print
it. Some old women at length VEN
tured to hold the paper up in the
streets. They alone were able 10
dispose Of few copies, but even pur-
chasers were assaulted. When the
Bulletin organized a body OF men of
its own, there was daily fighting in
the streets; but only in this way,
after a loss of many thousands of
dollars, was the paper allowed to
continue in circulation"

Vale. William Gohl.

VIM. Gohl announces in the press
that the Sailors Union, OF when
he is agent, will move its headquart-
ers from Aberdeen to Hoquiam, ana
gives as the chief reason the anita
gonistic spirit displayed toward union
men in Aberdeen" This will be
news to Aberdeen union men and
citizens generally, who know OF no
such feeling in regard to law add
ing men, union or otherwise.
That Aberdeen will not tolerate
law breaking-whether done under
the guise of unionism or any other
is as good an advertisement as TINS
city desires. Gohl has not felt at
home in Aberdeen since his plrat-
ical, and smuggling methods would not
be tolerated, nor do we believe the
Gohl style of unionism will meet with
a very cordial reception in Hoquiam.
