writes as follows:
To the Editor of the Free Press
As one reads the reports of Vermsnt
politics from a distance, the impression
is clear that there is a widespread dis.
relish of the methods employed by
Lieut.. Gov. Mead in his campaign and
a strong desire that those methods shall
why any man should cherish an Office
wrung from an unwilling or apathetic
constituency, but some individuals seem
so constituted. The attitude towards
Mr.. Fleetwood seems to be that he is an
excellent young man but without the
qualifications that would impel the vot-
ers to turn to him instinctively as the
man pre-eminently suited for the posi-
ton.
In such an exigency, it is the plain
and pressing duty of good citizens to
bestir themselves, pick their own man
and take upon themselves the burden of
his boom, not for his sake but for the
best interests of the State. The quail
ties essential are we'll known, sound
business judgment, legislative expert
ence and an active interest in matters of
general concern. The people should
seek some one, not on whom they desire
to confer a favor but from whom they
wish to demand a service.
1t would be a poor State which did
not possess many such men. At the
present juncture, if the people were
to go in search, there would be gen
eral unanimity as to the man most
available. He would be man who
by his own thrift and judgment had
accumulated competence, but not
great wealth, man who had long
been trusted by others with the man
agement of their financial interests.
He would be one who had given I'M
selfish devotion to the charitable and
civic interests of the community in
which he lived. He would be a man
with a wide acquaintance throughout
the State who had served the State in
its legislative assemblies, who knew
not only the things to be done, but the
effective way of doing them, a man will
ling to take Office if called upon, but
unwilling to advertise his merits broad
cast or solicit support through paid
agents.
The fact that the mention of mis- name
is unnecessary, that those whoread will
recognize at once to whom this letterre-
fers is conclusive proof that those who
have at heart the best interests Of the
State Should initiate 1T once the work
Of practice politics that win call him
to the Governor chair.
Very truly yours.

The following is from the editorial
columns of the Burlington Free Press
of recent date:
1t is evident that the last word has
not been said with reference to the
governorship for some people. While
DR.. Mead and Mr.. Fleetwood have a

the fact remains that some others are

lowing the announcement of the d.
rector of the census that Tacoma's
census count was padded with
more than 10000 fake names, the
leading business men and members
of the commercial organizations to-
day started a movement for COM
plete recount of the census by paid
enumerators of the government.
Mayor Fawcett is at the head Of
the movement.
Great indignation was caused by
the news from Washington of the
action of Director Durand in charg-
ing that thousands of fictitious
names had been found in Tacoma s
census returns and the charge is
vigorously denied by those having
active part in the enumeration.
Demands for recount are. heard

The PUCH FAMILY
IN COURT HOUSE

Spokane county has supported
from two to six members of the
Pugh family for the last % years,
except possibly the four years when
the county ring was buried deep in
a popular uprising.
For most of this time, with the
exception of this period, the sher-
ifs office has been controlled by
some member of the Pugh family or
other person under their domino
ton. No wthe second generation is
growing up and following in the
footsteps of their fathers. They
seem to believe that Spokane
county owes them a living and that
they have an inherent right to con-
troll the destinies of Spokane
county.
There is such a thing as a COM
munity getting too much of good
thing, or an overdose, in other
words. That seems to be the pres
ent condition In Spokane county,
and if all reports are true, there
will be at least two less members
of the Pugh family on the pay rolls
after next January.
A glance at the records will show
that he Pugh regime has been a
costly one to Spokane county.
Taxes have grown by leaps and
bounds until the burden is near the
breaking point.

JUDGE WF1ITSON DIES:
FUNERAL TOMORROW

Judge Edward Whitson of the
United States court of eastern
Washington died at his home, 1904
Tenth avenue, Saturday evening at
6:25 o'clock. Following a paralytic
stroke on Wednesday he had been
seriously i'll and lost consciousness
some time before his death. Accord
ing to his physician, DR.. N. Fred
Essig, his death was due to the rup-
ture Of blood vessel of the brain,
resulting in compression which in
terfered with all vital functions.
Judge Whitson was a pioneer of
the Yakima valley, having lived in
that section for some 80 years. He
was born in Salem, Ore, and spent
his boyhood days at independence.
Judge Whitson was regarded very
highly among his friends in the pro-

trees, cutting them up for corner

in the ground.
The next saeson he discovered
that the posts had rooted and

In the fall the floor, which, when
built, was even with the ground,
was three feet above the ground
level. A Year ago the barn was on
stills about nine feet high, so the
farmer simply built another floor.
This summer the lower floor has

There are many big necktie
manufacturers in New York who
furnish most of this country's neck
ties. There are many men who
make a living by manufacturing
neckties for the manufacturers.
These men are called contractors.
They don't make any legitimate
profit off the neckties. They SIM

more cheaply they can secure labor
the more money they make.
They rent cellar Easements.
They do not furnish electric power

hire women and girls because they
will work for less than men, and
make them operate the machines
with their feet. 1t Is almost like

are cruel and obscene of tongue be-
cause they think that they can
frighten the women and girls into
doing more work.
"In this they have succeeded.
They make the hours of work as
long as they can, without actually
making the tasks Of their employees
impossible to be performed.
The men who cut the silk for
neckties get $21 a week. They are
striking for $24. You see they are
men. and they have been able to
get better wages than women.
But now comes the boody part
Of making a necktie. 1t has to do
