IS REGISTRATION
LEGAL 4?
Question Whether Voters
Have Legally Registered
in Wenatchee.

A strict Interpretation of the pri-
mary law may disqualify every voter
whose name now appears on the
city's registration books. The Daily
World reporter has called the atten-
tion of City Clerk Sumner to this
phase of the law. He states that to
the best of his memory this matter
was submitted two years ago to the
attorney general of the state who
ruled that voters are not compelled
to declare their party utilization at
the time of registration. At any
rate no instructions from state offic-
ials have been received by the city
clerk to require any statement from
voters when registering what their
political choice for the coming cleo
ton will be.
The question has come up in 9TH
er cities of the state and the same
condition of uncertainty and ignor-
ance of the law seems to be quite
general. The statute covering the
case is found in section 3, chapter
So, of the Session Laws of 1909, and
reads as follows:
Every qualified person properly
registered as a voter in the election
precinct enabling him to vote at the
ensuing election where registration
is required, and every qualified per-
son in precincts where registration
is not required, shall be entitled to
participate in the primary elections
When he desires to vote at said pri-
to receive a ballot only of the party
for which he registers if living in a
precinct in which registration is re-
quired, or if living in a precinct in
which no registration is required the
ballot of the party for which he
| asks; and in the latter event, he
shall, if challenged be required to
make oath or affirmation that he in
tends to affiliate with said party at
the ensuing elections and intends to
support it's candidates generally"
In case it is found that all voters
who have thus far registered have
not fully complied with the law, 1t
will be necessary for them to cal!
again at the clerks office and repeat
the act.

SUBSTANTIAL GAIN

According to statistics now being
codified at the Office Of County Su-
perintendent Bowersox, Chelan coun-
ty has made an increase of about 10
per cent in her school population
during the past year. The school
census last year showed that there
were 1881 children of school age in
this county. This year the census
|shows that there were 4,139 in the
county of school age. Judging from
the figures it is evident that the
county itself has made gain in
population of 10 per cent.
Teachers Employed.
The figures show that at the pres
ent time there are employed in the
county "a male teachers and 1OS fe-
male. The average salary paid is as
follows: Male, s93.52; female
$67.99.
The number of children between
5 and 21 years of age residing in the
county June, 1910, was 2,145 male
and 1894 female.
The total expenditures for schoo
purposes paid out during the year
just passed was 1927, 49S.07. The
number of children enrolled in the
schools was 1928. The price paid
for educational purposes for each
child, therefore, averages close to $65
per year. The total number of school,
houses in the county is 81, having a
total seating capacity of 4,371.

McAlester, Okla, Aug. S.-W. T.
Holman, the Choctow Indian, testi-
fled today before the congressional
committee in the investigating of
the McMurray contracts, that he was
paid a dollar a head" for the con-
tracts appointing McMurray to act
in the land cases. In this way he
secured 10000 contracts. The terms
were ten per cent attorneys fees, or
100000 profit to McMurray and
his associates.
Holman said he was one of those
who signed a ten per cent contract,
and that he in common with the
other Indians, had become discour-
aged on the governments promise
to sell the lands. He said the In
dams would have given 25 per cent
and that there were some, he be-
lieved, who would have been willing
even to have given Is per cent if
they could have gotten the money
quickly. Holman said the Indians
were fully aware of the value of the
land and that they knew perfectly
we'll that this valuation ran some
where between s30,00O,000 and
$40,00O,000.
Hilman also said it had come to
be the belief of the Indians that
they had to give up a good portion
of what they would get in attorneys
fees.
D. C. McCurtain, an Indian and
attorney for his tribe, took the
stand again today and reiterated
that McMurray in 1906 at Washing
ton offered him a $4,000 bride to
withdraw his tribal opposition to the
old contracts which were disap-
proved by Roosevelt.

The Journal says that there are only
a few republicans left in Ramsey coun-
ty. Now judging from past acts of a
number of the republicans it would be
difficult to deny this assertion were it
viewed by one who did not know the
real conditions. It does look bad for a
party that is as strong as the 'repub-
lican party is in this county to let in
and give their votes to the democrats
for part of the offices as was the case
two years ago. AS long as the re-
publcans help the democrats to poll
teal preferment just so long will they
be giving their party q black eye, and
they have no one to blame for their
situation but themselves.

Verify we are progressing in the use
Of words. The addition to the vocabu-

marked in recent years. The advent
of the automobile and air ship have
brought into use numerous new words
and some Of the old ones that have
been regarded as slang: have gotten
into the dictionaries in due form and
in respectable company. For instance,
"damphool," 'uglify," 'corker," stem:
winder'' and the like are now In
good standing. It will be great re.
lief to the newspaper fraternity to be
able to express Its contempt for d
brother editor without using profanity

that is a marvel. Watterson has never
taken kindly to the rough rider. He
never quite understood how it was
possible for : him to make and inter-
pref laws to suit his own convenience
in administering the affairs OF the

pressed his horror and dislike for the
Roosevelt way. After reviewing his
speeches and receptions at Cairo, and
the Incidents at Rome he takes up the
question of Taft's successor and pro
ceeds: az follows: -, :.

panic, 1t did not throw a man out of
employment and it did not destroy the

erattve prices are the measure of
prosperity this country Is prosperous.
