CONFERENCE IN
LOCAL OPTION
": u MEET TODAY TO DRAFT
new MEASURE.
Acting Governor Hay Calls Ten leg
iStatOrS to Confer on Substitute
for Both the League and Nichols
Bills That Will Pass Both House
ane Senate,

OLYMPIA, Feb. 2O.-Acting Gov
ernor Hay has called a conference of
five senators and five representatives
for Monday for the purpose of draft
ing new local option measure, be-
lieving that this is the only way to
secure a successful law.
The following Legislators are said
to be the ones who will draw the
bill: Senators Falconer, Cotterill,
Graves, Smithson, Fishback or Cam
eron, Representatives Jackson, Todd,
McMasters, John Anderson and Scott.
Out of the house all are members
who voted for the Anti-Saloon league
bill, while three of the senators
named voted against the bill and all
aemnedments made by it's friends.
Because of the large majority of sup
porters in the house no overtures
have been made to the opposition. In
the senate, however, where the strin-
gents are short two votes, member
ship on the committee is given at
least two opponents. This will prob
ably bring them in line with the re-
suit that whatever bill the committee
suggests will pass both branches of
the legislature.
1t is understood that in the pro-
posed bill cities of the first, second
and third class will be made a unit
in themselves, with the county out
side another unit. The special elec-
tion feature will be modified in that
this privilege will be allowed only at
first, after which the issue will be
submitted at the general state cleo
tion.
The governor and his friends have
arrived at the conclusion that much
of the opposition to the Anti-Saloon
league bill was caused by the fact
that it bears the league stamp. This
is one Of the reasons that the con-
ference is desirable, and also because
the Nichols bill is branded as a brew
cry bill.
The committee substitute to the
Nichols bill which passed the senate
and is now in the house public NOR
ais committee will probably be left
there to die unless the opposition be-
comes urgent, in which case it will
be brought out and defeated by the
league supporters, who are in the
majority.

pass the house, and will never be-
come law by executive signature.
l want no local option bill that is
backed by the brewery and liquor
interests.
King county has eight represen-
tatives in the state senate. Seven
are Republicans, and one is a De-
mocrat. If getting on the right side
OF the local option bill is a standard
by which we may judge in this mat
ter, the Democrat senator is the only
Republican senator King county now
has in the senate.
Now l do not desire to be under
stood as criticizing the Republican
senators. They are most abel men.
and excellent men; but they do not
look upon this local option question
In the light that l do. l feel that
they are not giving or attempting to
give the people of the state of Wash
ington reasonable, enforcible local
option law as was contemplated when
the platform was adopted in Spokane.
neither is it such a bill as Gov. Co.'S
grove, the spokesman of our party,
can indorse. 1t is possible, of course,
that these senators do represent your
views in this matter. If such is the
case I have no complaint to make,
What l want to know is, do they re-
present you, and If not l would like
to have you people take an interest
In the matter and get them right on
the question. l feel that these sem
ators whom you have selected to re-
present you wish to do so, and will
do so, if you make your views in
the matter sufficiently emphatic.
II understand that there is one
Seattle senator who claims that he
has more saloons in his district than
any other state esnator in the Unit
ed States. If this is true, and the
senator's word is above question, no
doubt this particular senator repre-
sents his constituents, and he is GER
tainly doing it ably, and deserves
their highest esteem.
II desire to say, however, that If
we cannot pass the Falconer- McMas-
ter bill, or some bill equally as good.
there are other sessions coming, and
this administration will meet the op-
ponents of this measure on the ides
OF September, 1910. If we lose then
we will have another chance in Sep
tember, 1912. This fight is going to
be kept up until one side or the
other is trounced to a finish"

has been completed. The measure
will be introduced into the legisla-
ture on Monday.
Under the terms of the bill there

itary fund the sum of $4,000 for an
armory for the joint use of the mi
litia companies of Hoquiam and Alb

ed in either city, at such site as may
be deemed best adapted and most
convenient to the use Of the two
companies.

deem armOry commission, which shall
have charge of the erection of the
building, and which shall be made
up of seven members, ,asfollows: The
adjutant general of the national
guard of the state, the ranking Off
Ger of Aberdeen, the ranking officer

control and the chairman of the
board of county commissioners. The
adjutant general is named as chair
man and a secretary is to be chosen
from the membership of the board.
Appropriation Of the amount nam
ed is conditioned upon the furnish
ing to the state of the necessary site;
and the act authorizes the county
commissioners to axe an appropri-
alton for purchase of the site. The
bill details the manner in which the
fund shall be expended.
In view Of the fact that the Har-
Dor is entitled to this appropriation,
no difficulty is anticipated in getting
the bill through the legislature.

CHEHALIS SHINGLE MEN
TO FORM AN ASSOCIATION

HOQUIAM, Feb. 2O.-Having in
view the formation of an association.
the shingle manufacturers of Cheha-
lis county met in this city today and
took the initial steps. The meeting
was addressed by d. A. Ford, of Sc
attic, a representative sent by the
Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers
Associations Of the state of Wash
ington, D. c., to try to retain the
tariff on lumber and shingles.
During his speech, Mr.. Ford said
that, owing to the poor grade of
shingles shipped east, builders were
beginning to find substitute for this
product, and he urged the manufac-
turers to raise their grades and send
good material.
During the meeting F. C. Wilcox,
a we'll known shingle manufacturer
of Aberdeen precipitated heated
argument by accusing other mill men
of bidding on logs and forcing the
price from $40 to $3.50 per thous-
and.
E. o. McGlauflin, manager of the
Northwestern Lumber Company, gave
banquet at the Hotel Grayport to-
night to thirty of the heads of the
various manufacturing departments
Of that large concern.

LIEUT.. GOVERNOR HAY TALKS
LOCAL OPTION IN SEATTLE.
The Governor Handles Hing County
Senator's without Gloves in an
Address to Mems Clubs. Saws
ThcV are Responsible for Failure
OrLeague Law.

SEATTLE, Feb. 2O.-Lieut. Gov.
M. E. Hay, acting executive of the
state of Washington, last night made
a sensational attack on the senators
from King county who voted on the
double unit local option bill passed
on Thursday. Before an audience of
200 members of Congregational
mems clubs of the city, gathered at
Pilgrim Congregational church, the
preesnt chief executive declared that
with one exception King county's
senators are ''ably defending the in
terests of the liquor dealers" in their
consideration of a local option bill
His remarks created great excite
ment.
Gov. Hay was introduced by Ches-
ter f. White. Declaring that he had
come direct to the boss, the people
of Seattle" with his troubles, Gov.
Hay entered directly into his charge
that the senators of King county
with the exception of the one Demo-
cratic senator, are not giving their
constituents what they want in a
local option bill. A great deal of
enthusiasm was manifested at his
remarks and he was Frequently in
terrupted. The acting governor said
in part:
"The Republican party in it's last
state convention declared in favor of
reasonable local option law. On
that platform it went before the peo-
pie and was returned to office. Our
Republican speakers during the CAM
paign went forth and up and down
the land advocating the passage of a
strong and effective local option law.
We promised to give the voter the
right to say whether liquor should
be sold in his community or not. We
are not trying to force prohibition
upon the state. All we ask is that
the people themselves be given the
right to decide this question. If they
decide that they don't want liquor
sold, then they should have a law
sufficiently strong that it will be ef-
fective.
1--WE want a law so strong that
the liquor dealers will not run up
against it the second time. We want
a law with teeth in If
Your senators at Olympia seem
to think that the people are not
competent or qualified to decide this
question. You, the voters, are not
competent to decide this question,
They seem to think that they are
the only authority. Your represen-
tatives will probably come back at
me and say that they have already
passed a good local option bill in the
senate. I am here to tell you that
this bill that your King county SEN
ators crammed down our throats will
not do. In my judgment it cannot

RenIlx a Compliment.


 Aaron Bancroft. the father of the historian, was a Massachusetts clergy man who revolted against the Calvinism of the day. The young minister found himself held at arms length by the sur rounding clergy. In 'The Life and Letters of George Bancroft" M. A. Dew. Howe quotes the following item from the old minister's Memoranda" ]:
 An honest but not very intelligent farmer of my parish, some ten years ago, accosted me in this manner:
 Well, MT. Bancroft, what do you think the people of the old parish say of you now?"
 l answered, q hope something very good"
 ''They say, If we find fault with him he does not mind 1t at all |; and if we praise him he does not mind it, but keeps steadily on his own way; we therefore have concluded that it is best to let him alone.'"
 The farmer mentioned the fact as subject of laughter, but I thought, and still think that. taking the declaration in its bearings. it was the prettiest compliment have received through my whole life

The Ones That Buzzed About the
 Young Soldiers. Ears.
 A great general was taking his regi- ment into action. He sent forward a detail of men to make gaps in a rail fence to avoid the heavy loss sure to result if the whole body of men paused to tear it down.
 The coolest and finest man in the de tail was a young soldier who had never been under fire before. When he began pulling down the fence he fancied he had disturbed nest of hornets, as he thought he heard them singing fiercely about his ears. But the lad was not going to run from hornets when there was more serious business ahead.
 Ignoring the angry insects, he opened the fence and rejoined the regi- ment without being stung.
 Ir day or two he was surprised to hear that he was to be promoted.
 But" he said modestly, "I don't think I deserve promotion over the others"
 '.My boy" replied the general, "I saw you pull down. that fence. You were the coolest man under fire I ever saw!"
 The man gasped. stared and turned pale.
 "What,' he exclaimed, regardless of grammar. "Was them wasps bullets?"

One of the denominational religious each year on the growth of the church population of the United States has just published figures which show a smaller increase In 1908 than in 1907. The earlier year was, however, phe- nomenal in certain details of the re corded growth, and the increase of the last year is not at all disappointing. The figures show a net increase for 1908 of 2,S35 ministers. 1874 churches and 120647 communicants. The growth of the Catholic church Is, of course. in- cluded, though the statistics come from a Protestant source. The most inter esting feature of the statistics Is 6 comparison with similar statistics of 1890. The total number of communi- cants to-day is put at 34. 2S2 ,543, or d. most 70 per cent of the entire esti- mated population of the nation, and this is a growth of 66 per cent in the last eighteen years. The number of ministers in 1908, 165, 5,725, indicates a growth of 49 per cent in the period. And the number of churches, 213,O49, shows a growth of 49 per cent That this growth is really of great signifi- canoe appears when one compares 1t with the total growth of the country in population in the same period. Of course, the 1908 population figure must be an estimate, but If one takes the es- timate used by government authorities at Washington one is safe enough. On this basis the growth of our population has been only just about 40 per cent in the eighteen years. The rate of in- crease in church communicants is therefore more than half again as rapid as that total population The churches are indeed to be congratulated on the showing.
