OF the candidates for office on eth
err ticket at the coming election, there
is none cleaner in his private life or
more careful of his morals and in
tegrity than Walker Moren, candidate
for the state legislature. Mr.. Moren
received the highest legislative vote
at the primaries He is fitted for the
office which he seeks by education
and training as well as ability. His
strength in the republican caucus is
needed to help Poindexter and he
should be sent to the legislature not
only for this reason but because the
community needs a representative of
his stamp. This is not said in dispar-
agement of the other candidates for
the legislature, but in the belief that
Mr. Moren is needed in Olympia to
assist the cause of good government
Mr. Moren is a young man who may
be trusted to do what is right.

Electricians of the city are anxious
for an electric wiring inspector. AS
proof of the justice of their claims
they point out that perhaps the fire
in the Schlottfeldt home on Naches
avenue might have been avoided if
the wiring in the house had been up
to standard, as it Is believed that this
fire had it's origin from that source.

II was when the army at Valley Forge

an accomplished Prussian officer, arrived
in this country and went 10 the camp.
He found conditions as TO the fll-fed and

that. he found the entire army system
wrong. from the viewpoint OF a man who
knew thoroughly the organization of an
army from experience in his own~country.
Baron Steuben set to work and as fast
as possible brought order out of chaos.
