CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

he November election VIII be
OF especial interest and impor-
lance to the voters of Virginia.
as at that election the organic
law-the COnstitution-uf the
State may be modified in several
respects that are of grave con-
sideratiOn to the Virginia people.
-Four amendments to the Consti-
tuition, all of more or less impol-
lance to our people, are to Toe
voted upon at the election to he
held on November Sth.
The Constitution is u sacred
document and one not to be
dilly-dallied with. Addenda to.
abrogation of, or alteration
in the text of our organic
law is u matter of serious
significance and great Importance
to the Virginia suffragists: and,
if done at all, should only be
done after careful and candid
thought and mature considera-
ton. The Constitution can only
be altered by a vote of the people;
therefore it follows that the peo-
pie, and the people alone, are re-
spOnsible for the sort of an
amended Constitution they have.
And the greater the Importance
OF the issue to be voted on at the
polls, the greater becomes the
responsibility of the suffragists.
One of the amendments to be
voted on in November provides
that the sessions of the IIegisla-
ture shall be increased from sixty
to ninety days. Here an econom-
ic question arises-an increase
in the length of the sessions of
the General Assembly means an
increase in the salaries of the
members. Another question is
Mt the end of ninety days will the
matter of legislation be any
further advanced than in "A sixty
days session: will not the calen-
dar bejustas crowded at the end
and will not the representatives
procraStinate in the first half of
the session as now?
Two of the amendments pro-
vide for the election of city and
county treasurers and city and
county commissioners of the re-
venue. The present Constitution
provides for the election of treas
urers 10y the popular vote. but
prohibits them from serving more
than two consecutive terms. Com
be elected or appointed. as the
Legislature sees fit to provide,
but should they be chosen by the
people they are not eligible to
succeed themselves. The purpose
OF these amendments is the elimi-
nation of all questions of success
sion, so that treasurers and COM
mlssioners may succeed them
selves indefinitely. At present
commissioners of the revenue are
appointed by the circuit courts.
TO these two amendmentsw we can
see no objection. If an officer
proves efficient and faithful, and
his services satisfy the people, we
know OF no reason why he should
not be eligible for reelection so
long rs the people want him.
The remaining amendmentpr pro-
vides that each bill may be read
at length only once in each
branch of the Legislature. instead
of three times as now required.
This last amendment is of but
little Importance, us the present
law on this point has been usu-
ally ignored i'll the interest of ex-
petition of business: the object
of the amendment, however, NAV
be TO avoid future complications
and entanglements.
Let every suffragist in the State
give the matter mature and logi-
cal consideration and cast his
ballot iudiciously on November
Sth.

HEAD Of OREGON
ASSOCIATION
G. w. Wilmeroth of Med
ford, Will Spend Few
Days in Valley.

c. w. Wilmeroth, well known Chi
cago fruit expert, who spent some
months here last year, but is now
making his headquarters at Medford,
Oregon, is in the city arriving here
yesterday. Mr.. Wilmeroth is now
the manager of the Rogue River
Fruit & Produce association, having
twelve stations.
Mr.. Wilmeroth still claims the
Wenatchee valley as his home, but
was induced to make the trip to Ore
gon last January by Meilery & Young
who have in charge the selling of
sos acres Burre1l Orchard. The
greater portion of this has been sold
mostly to Chicago parties. Mr.. Will
meroth states that his association
this year will handle the entire out
put of the valley which will approx
innate 800 carloads Of pears and 500
carloads of apples.
Mr.. Wilmeroth states that there is
no section Of the Oregon country that
can compare with the Wenatchee val
ley in the raising of apples. He likes
the climate, however, the better, but
at the same time looks forward to
the time when he will be able to re-
turn to this valley.

and wins.
Spiecker originally was the con-
testant as prior entrymen, and got
the decision in the Wateryille land
office. However, he thought he was
going to lose, so just before the de-
cision was rendered he transferred
to his wife, (which conveyance" says
the assistant secretary, was pre-
sumed to be in bad faith, for the
purpose of qualifying himself to ex-
ercise his preference right and make
entry for the contested land"
In appealing from the previous ad-
verse decisions, based on this alleg-
ed bad faith, Spiecker maintained
that the rulings were virtually try
ing and deciding the case entirely on
suspecion," but the defendant holds
that the transfer to his wife is prima
facie evidence of fraud.

FORBZDS LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
Cannot Be Delivered by the
Railroad Company at
the Depot.
NOT DRY TERRITORY
Must Go to Residences Saws
Prosecuting Attorney
Fred Kemp.

Liquor which has been shipped in
to Wenatchee may not be taken by
consignee at the depot. This is
against the local option law which
was passed in the year 1909. Ac-
cordingly any shipments of liquor
which comes into the city of Wenat-
chez, which is "dry" territory,
delivery must be made to the resi-
dence Of the consignee.
The following letter has been ad-
dressed to the agent of the G.. N.
railroad and to the agent of the G..
n. Express company by Prosecuting
Attorney Kemp:
Wenatchee, July 5, 1910.
To the Agent of the G. N. R. R. and
to the Agent of the G. N. Express
Co., Wenatchee, Wash.
Gentlemen: In accordance with
my suggestion to Agent Piper on the
10th of June, 1910, I now formally
call your attention of Section IS of
Chapter 81 of the Session Laws of
the State Of Washington for the year
1909, which chapter is popularity
known as the local option law, and
inform you that any violations OF
said law will be persistently and Wig
orously prosecuted.
Under the law, no common carrier
or other corporation or person may
accept for delivery in dry unit"
any intoxicating liquor except it be
a delivery to the place of residence
Of the consignee; and delivery may
not even be made at the consignee's
residence if that be a place of BUSH
ness or public resort. Deliveries may
also be made to physicians or drug
gists in unbroken packages and to
the proper officers of churches of
wine for sacramento purposes, and
deliveries are also permitted to be
made of commercially pure alcohol
for mercantile or chemical purposes.
Under this law, therefore, it is I'M
lawful to make deliveries of intoxi-
eating liquor at the depot or store
house or express office or from any
cars to any person except it be in
one of the cases above mentioned.
And the provisions of this law, of
course, do not apply to shipments
from without the state of Washing
ton regulated by the interstate COM
merce laws.
Under this section it is as unlaw-
full to receive for shipment or carry
liquor for illegal delivery as well as
for the illegal delivery of same.
The first violation of the section
mentioned will upon conviction sub
ject you to fine of not less than $50
nor more than $500 and a subse-
quent violation will subject you to
both fine and Imprisonment. Hav-
ing previously Informed you of my
construction of this law, prosecution
for any violation thereof will begin
forthwith. Very respectfully,
FRED KEMP,
Prosecuting Attorney Chelan County.

APPLES ONLY To Be
EXHIBITED
Requests for Other Fruit at
National Show Will Not
Be Granted.

Only apples will be exhibited at
the coming National Apple Show,
November 14-19. Numerous requests
were received that other fruit be ex-
hibited but the trustees of the show
decided against ii, believing that the
great novelty of the show, and one
of its strongest features lie in the
fact that only one thing is exhibited
They decided, however, that it
would be well to extend the prize list
for more competition in the COM
mercial classes. This question has
come up at every show for the last
two years.

ONLY TWO DRUNKS
Celebration a Record Breaker for the
Small Number Of Arrests.

certainly a record breaker for the
small number Of arrests that were
made. Only two men were arrested
for being drunk and one who has
always been known as sober man
claims that he got drunk by accident.
Four other arrests were made by
the police of men who were shooting
firecrackers within the fire limits.
These men have not yet been tried.
