The FOX LAW


Attorneys Here Believe il To be Invalid
Some confusion having resulted from
the report that the bill introduced by
Messrs. Coleman and Moncure to pro-
hibit the trapping of foxes in Spotsyl-
vania. Stafford and King George, ex-
animation of the Acts Of the Assembly
show that the bill became a law on
March 10th, 1910. 1t reads as follows:
BE it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia, that it shall be unlaw-
full to trap foxes for the space of the
next two years in the counties of Spot
sylvania, Stafford and King George"
II will be noted. however, that the
authors of the bill have made no pro-
vision as to any penalty for violation OF
the act, simply making il unlawful, and
attorneys here express the opinion that
the act therefore amounts to nothing
and cannot be enforced if violated.

The election bill names Guthrie,
Shawnee and Oklahoma City as can
didates for the capital, but it is gen.
orally conceded that the real contest
is between Oklahoma City and Guth-
rie. The claims of the former are
bitterly contested by Guthrie and the
threat is made that if Oklahoma City
secures a majority vote at the polls
tomorrow the matter will be taken
to the United States supreme court
for final decision.
In addition to the question of the

prohibits foreign railroad corpora
lions from acquiring the property of

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
COOPERATE WITH THE MAYOR

Mayor Gellatly is determined TO
have the city kept in sanitary con-
dition during these summer months.
He is cooperating with the health
authorities to carry out the recon-
mendations of the state board of
health.
The mayor complaints that there
is a disposition to let things go back
into the old ways. Instead of keep
ing receptacles for garbage closed as
the law requires, in some instances
they are left open.
Some of the unsightly spots in the
city are to be found in vacant lots
which are covered with litter of all
kinds. Old stoves, old lumber, and
junk of all kinds are permitted to
accumulate in all kinds of ways.
When the mayor insists that this
condition ought not to be, he de-
serves the hearty support of public
sentiment and he will get it. The
existence of all unsightly spots helps
to encourage laXity in sanitation in
more essential matters. The proper
thing to do is to clean up and to
keep things cleaned up.

Cashmere Has q Number of Leaders

At the May festival recently held
in Cashmere it developed that the
town and vicinity is fortunate in be-
ing well provided with musicians of
exceptional ability. The May festival
was held under the auspices of the
Presbyterian church. under the d.
rection of Osborne Williams, assist
ed by the Cashmere orchestra.
Among those who proved to be ex-
ceptional along the lines of music
were the following: Miss Pauline
Drake, pianist, and Miss Adeline Den
mis-. The leading lady soloist of the
Vale of Cashmere is Miss Katherine
Hellenbrand. 1t is doubtful if the
other parts of Chelan county can
boast of men with voices that will
compare with those of Osborne Will
Jams and w. A. Liddell. H. J. Rich
ard is a violinist of far more than
ordinary ability.
The Musical Organization.
For town the size of Cashmere
the band is an exception. Under the
leadership of Ben Beason, who halls
from Dubuque Iowa, a strong or
ganizatio1 has been affected. Among
the members of the organization are
the following: Ben Beason, leader;
Charles Burbank. Charles Amos.
Charles Kuelbs, Allen Cook, Harry
Miller. Ed. Jordan, Frank Hamilton,
John Hamilton, Edgar Lyons and
Jack Unger.
The band has been organized for
two years. A weekly concert is
given every Saturday night, the
Cashmere business men donating for
that purpose. The orchestra played
together for the first time at the
May festival.

BUCKED MAIL TRUST
Portland Man Charged One Cent Per

Portland, Ore, June 10.--Charles
P. Neth's private mail service with
which he competed with the govern
ment delivery monopoly, went out of
existence today, despite the fact that
Meth was bucking the government
trust" at reduced rates. Meth plead
guilty in the federal court to having
organized a private mail service. He
paid a fine of S25.
Meth is the head of a debt collect
ing agency. In order to increase the
efficiency of his service by securing
acquaintance with business men, he
undertook for large wholesale houses
to deliver their monthly statements.
Meth charged one cent for the de-
livery of each letter and had acquitted
a large patronage. The venture was
proving a mint when the federal Of

are also some of the first or early edi-
ton of his works and many portraits.
The old house, or the Thomas Paine
stands on farm of 277 acres and was
confiscated by the state from a Tory
named Frederick DevOe Near the
building is the monument erected by
Gilbert Vale, one of Paines early biog
raphers fifty years ago, and behind the
museum is the spot where Paine was
originally buried. 1t was from this
grave upon the farm that the body
was stolen in the night few days
after burial and taken to England by
William Cobbett. the English radical
and ardent admirer of the great Amer
lean patriot.

SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Governor Hay has given out for
publication a letter in which he ad-
vOcates some radical changes in the
state administration. He would have
the people clothed with the power
to recall an officer with whose work
or conduct they are dissatisfied. He
would make all state officers ap-
pointive instead of elective, leaving
to the people the responsibility of
electing the governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, and members of the legisla-
ture. He would also make the judges
of the supreme court appointive.
There is much merit to the gov
ernor's proposals. AS most state
governments are now organized, the
administrative departments are not
properly cO-Ordinated. Instead of
the heads of these departments being
responsible to the governor and he
in turn responsible to the people,
they are responsible to the legisla-
ture, and this practically means no
effective responsibility at all. AS a
result, extravaganza runs riot while
no well defined policy of state ad-
ministration is possible.
While men may differ with the
governor on some questions, it must
be admitted that he is giving
thoughtful consideration to the in
terests of the state. He admits that
with his two years of experience, he
favors many changes which he would
have opposed before his succession
10 the governorship and for this rea-
son the voter who is not brought In
to direct contact with the problems
of administration and who does not
have the time or inclination to study
these questions, should give more
careful heed to the governors views.
The governor says he has not made
a thorough study OF the initiative
and referendum and does not feel
qualified to pass finally on the mer-
its of direct legislation. but he will
sign a bill giving the people on OPP
portunity to vote on the expediency
of amending the constitution to this
effect. Since he is unqualifiedly in
favor of the recall and the socalled
short ballot, he perhaps on further
study will modify his views with ref
erence to direct legislation. The
governor is to be commended in his
stand for more systematic correla-
ton of state offices and for more
direct responsibility on the part of
state officers to the voters.

INDIAN PROVED A HOG
Wenatchee Man Thought He Had
Killed Red Man But Was His
Fathers Hog.

1t happened long time ago,
nearly twenty years, but owing to
the fact that it has never heretofore
been published and to the further
fact that one of the parties who were
acquainted with the circumstances in
the case, "leaker" when the World
man was around, the following story
will have to be given at the expense
of Roy Turner:
ROY was but a boy then and he
had been commissioned by his father
to watch the melon patch. The mel
on patch had proven to be nocturnal
mecca for those who loved melons
within many miles. So Roy was put
out on picket duty" He was given
a bunk, however, in the melon patch
During the night he heard a noise
as if it were a man stealing quietly
through the bushes. Get out of
there, Turner yelled, but his words
met with no response. After a re-
peated warning that he would shoot
the man, the gun was fired. There
was no further sound. The boy be-
lieved that he had killed an Indian
and making his way over to a neigh
Dor in the night, informed him of
that fact. The Indian turned out to
be his fathers big, fat hog, which
had gotten off her reservation.
