Investigation of State Officers.

Just prior to the adjournment last
March of the eleventh regular session
of your honorable body you passed a
resolution creating an investigating
committee. This action was taken as
q result of serious and alarming
charges that had been made in open
session upon the floor of the legisa-
ture. involving the integrity and Of
fetal conduct of certain state officers.
You clothed your committee with
authority to Investigate the affairs
doings and conduct of such state Of
ficers and such departments of the
state government as said committee
shall deem proper and provided that
it should report the result OF such
investigation 10 the governor of this
state on or before the 18th day Of
July, 1909
At a meeting held in Seattle on
June ,. your committee made verbal
report TO the governor. informing him
of the conditions it had found exist
ing in some of our state offices and
of the recommendations the written
report would contain. also suggest
ing the advisability of calling your
honorable body together for the pur-
pose OF considering and acting upon
its report

Protect Reputation of Party.

This legislative body is almost
unanimously republican in its compo-
sition. and in you is reposed the dual
trust of protecting the interests Of
YOUR constituents and the reputation
of your party. The people who gave
TO you their suffrage will not only
hold you individually TO account for
the course each of you pursues, but
will also hold the Republican party to
account for the result of your cOllec-
tive action.
The Republican party has been re-
turned to power in this state with in
creasing majorities at each succeed
ing election because the people be-
lieved not only in the wisdom OF its
policies but also because they had
confidence in the ability and intes-
rity of the men it nominated for Of
fee. The only manner in which the
party can retain this confidence is to
prove itself worthy Of the great trust
and responsibility. of government by
purging its ranks OF unworthy, dis
honest and corrupt officials.
The Republican party is greater
than any individual that it elevates
to a position of honor and when any
such individual fails TO measure up
to the standard of efficiency and
probity demanded by the people the
party can not afford to countenance
the continuance Of his presence in its
councils or in the place he has de-
bauched \ man who secures an Of
fee through his utilization with
party and then prostitutes that Of
flee to mere pecuniary profit deserves
no more sympathy from the party
which he has imposed upon than from
the people whom he has betrayed.
By reason of exposures made by
your investigating committee wide
spread and insistent public demand
has arisen for thorough probing OF
all offices, departments and institu-
tions of the state government against
which the slightest breath OF suspi-
cion has been directed. In order that
all wrongs. if any further exists. may
be exposed and corrected and that the
honest officials may be freed from
the injustice of suspicion | recon-
mend that Your honorable body con-
tinue the present committee and make
the necessary provision for
thorough and searching examination
into the administrative affairs of the
state.
Opposition to further investigation
can come only from those who have
something in their official records
which they desire to conceal. An hon
est official welcomes examination in
to the conduct Of his affai~s. Al such
examination can only lofelsct credit
uror him.
Absolutely no weight should attach
TO the argument of expense against
the continuance OF the committee
The people OF this state will never
begrudged l cent that is expended in

Should Probe Auditors Office.

Regarding the state auditors office
the committee reports that 1t spent
two days and found that the time
and means at its disposal were en-
tirely inadequate to make a complete
and intelligent report. The commit
tee is OF the opinion that full inves-
tigation should be made.
No recommendations are made in
the report other than that the inves-
tigation should be continued and such
incidental one related to different in
situations already given. There is no
suggestion as to what disposition
should be made of the Schively case,
and there is not the slightest refer
ence in the report to the office of State
Land Commissioner Ross. The COM
mittee reports that its expenses have
been $3132.

FAT STATE JOB
FOR SEATTLE
man

OLYMPIA, March SIT isn't
on the boards that Mr.. Clark j.
Munger of Seattle is to fill the
about-to-be-created office of hotel
inspector. Mr.. Munger's qualifi-
cations for this important office
may be many or few, but what
they are falls into the circumfer-
ence of nothing when brought up
against the fact that Mr.. Munger
is, or until recently has been the
right hand man of Senator Potts
in the hotel business. And Sena-
tor Poots, it may possibly be re-
called or suspected In the gentle
man whose bill created this rather
lucrative office.
The hotel bill, although 1t has
passed both houses. has not yet
become a law. There Is some hope
yet, and there still remains the ad-
ditional. although comparatively
unimportant, possibility that If the
bill does not become law Mr..
Munger will not become the
chief beneficiary thereby.
And there yet remains three
deputies who are to be paid out
of the few hard earned dollars
that trickle into the hands of the
landlady.

Tacoma women of the Pure
Food Council won out yesterday
before the council judiciary COM
mittee and Tacoma bakeries must
wrap up their bread and cakes
to protect them from flies and dirt
If the council tonight passes the
ordinance as 1t was recommended.
There was lively contest be-
fore the committee and incident
ally 1t was limited that there was
a conspiracy on foot between the
bakers association and some gro
Gerry men to knock out tn local
firm that has been wrapping it's
bread, thereby giving black eye
to this method of protection for
the staple food product.
Mr.. Dickson, of Dickson Broth
ers bakery, appeared on behalf Of
the women, urging that wrapping
the bread in paraffine paper was
sanitary measure. He said it
cost but one dollar eighty-two and
a half cents a thousand loaves to
wrap the bread and the advertise
ment more than paid. for the
work.
Sam McNally, attorney for the
bakers, began quizzing Dickson
and cited incidents where certain
grocers had sold out all their
other bread and had the case
still filled with Dickson bread, en-
deavoring to create the impression
that the wrapped bread was in
ferior.
Dickson said he had been given
notice by the grocer in question
that by the time they got through
with him and his wrapped bread
he would know something had hit
him, intimating that certain gro
GERS and the bakery association
were framing up a deal to dis
criminate against the wrapped
bread to kill it off and make the
idea of wrapped bread unpopular.
Mr.. Dickson said he was indie
pendent and did not belong to the
bakers association but did bust
ness without any regard for the
rules of the association.
L. r. Robinson and Mr.. Nc
Nally both opposed the wrapping
of bread and other bakery prod
ucts. They were assisted by Coun-
cilmen Rankin and Giblett but
their arguments were all over
whelmed by the women, led by
Mrs. o. G. Ellis, and the expert
ence of Mr.. Dickson. Attorney
0. G. Ellis also took a hand in
the debate and clinched matters
for the women and they applaud
ed him vociferously.
On motion of Hawley the judic-
larry committee unanimously put
back into the pure food ordinance
the provision requiring bakery
products to be wrapped in paraf-
fine paper, which had been strick-
en- out by Rankin and Giblett in
the health and hospital commit
tee.
The ordinance will now come
before the council tonight for final
passage.
In addition to providing for
wrapping bakery supplies It pro-

WAT.
But the soul of a quiet, gentle
farm home is shortly to be torn to
pieces for analysis in the courts
of Wayne county, New York, to
prove that Georgia Allyn Samp-
son, the attractive, well-bred, well
educated girl wife of Harry Samp-

Harry Sampson, nephew of the
late Rear Admiral Sampson, five
years ago, when he was 90, met
Georgia Allyn, then 10. 1t was
love at first sight, and within six
months, while on a sleigh ride,
they were married at a parsonage.
Harry left the home of his ia
Their, George A. Sampson, in the
town of Palmyra, and went into
the country to live in the home of
his father-in-law, Frank Allyn.
One day Georgia received a
note from Robert Manson of
Rochester, an old friend. This
note asked Georgia and girl
friend of hers to meet Manson at
Buffalo and spend a day at Nj

developed that Manson had in
mind the courtship Of the other
