Orme was trembling for the answer.
He was still in the dark, and did not
know how far she would feel that
she could accept his aid.

said simply.

The use of finger prints as an aid to
the detection of criminals was shown
in a remarkable manner at Dublin,
Ireland, when a prisoner named Kee-
gan was sentenced to i've years inn
prisonment for breaking into a church.
On the broken window was found
finger mark, which was identified as
the prisoners in the habitual crimi-
nails register department of Dublin
castle. The head Of that department
said that about 100000 finger prints
had passed through his hands and no
two had ever been found alike. This
system Of identification had now su.
perseded all other methods and he be-
lieved it to be infallible.

India's National Dish.

Rice and curry is the national dish
in India. Just barely enough curry
to favor, and each grain when cooked
is ,puffed up all by itself of snowy
lightness. Small quantities of meat
OF dried fish, are served with the cur
ry sauce, freshly made of cocoanut
water, peppers, tumeric, ETC. The
West African and West indian do not
use curry, but season by boiling u
with piece Of salt fish, salt pork or
chicken. Polished rice is a cheat, and
eaten exclusively is deadly, so should

He held out his hand. She took 1t
frankly, and the friendly pressure OF
her hne,. firm palm sent the blood
tingling through him.

he said gravely. But your present
wish is my law. 1t is good of you to

At the same instant they became
conscious that their hands were still
clasped. The girl blushed, and gently
drew hers away.

"A name like" she said. my fa-
ther uses it. Oh, If only knew what
that burglar wrote on the bill!"
Orme started. What a fool he had
been! Here he was, trying to help
the girl, forcing her to the long, tired
recital of her story, when all the
time he held her secret in the table
in his sitting-room. For there was
still the paper on which he had copied
the abbreviated directions.
"Wait here" he said sharply, and
without answering the look of sur
prise on her face, hurried from the
room and to the elevator. A few
moments later he was back. the sheet

He was selfishly glad in her answer.

said.
Where is it,"
"I left 1t around the corner. The
thought came to me that Mr.. .Poritol
might be here, and didn't wish him
to recognize It,"
Orme thought Of the hard quest
the girl had followed that day--bat-
Ting for her fathers interests. What
kind of a man could that father be
to let his daughter thus go into diff
culties alone? But she had said that
her father was unable to leave the
house Probably he did not know how
serious the adventure might be. Or
was the loss of the papers so desper-
ate that even a daughter must run
risks?

The past week brought forCn a
number of announcements OF a
state political nature, and it is
expected that with the continual
tion.of good warm weather others
will be sweated " out. In sew
eral localities it is rumored that
the next two weeks will see
quite a change in the general
tone of the political horizon as
pertains to the gubernatorial
nomination. This of course is the
chief office sought after and ru-
mors have it, that between now
and the time for making good for
the primary law requirements
there are likely to be more can
didates than one can count on
ones fingers and toes. However,
it is also acknowledged that
some are merely playing for a
little cheap advertising and that
before the fight becomes real
warm, they will have somthered
their desires and aspirations so
that nothing will be heard from
themin the real battle. That Gov
Godor Hay will not be one of these
~'goes without saying. While
there seems to be ground to be-
lieve that the governor will not
have the support Of the two big
Republican dailies of the west
side for reelection, he possesses
some of the real coin that can
help him to certain extent, and
besides, if all reports are to be
believed, he is depending upon
the country press, having pur-
chased outright several news
papers in Eastern Washington,
and said to be negotiating for
others in this section. Look at
it from any angle you desire,
Governor Hay is a fighter and
from all appearances will make
his presence known, although we
don't believe he can be elected.
But his money will have some eff
feet and it ought to make times
good in certain sections.
That the Governor will have
some opposition in the strong
.lsholds which he hoped to have un-
is almost a certainty.
Being farmer and a country
town merchant, the governor
naturally expected to have this
vote solidly, but if reports count
for anything then there are at
least two candidates who will
split this strength of Governor
Hay. While he has made no
public announcement of his cam
didacy, still it is generally con-
ceded by his friends, that Lee A.
Johnson, the Sunnyside banker
and we'll known and highly popu-
lar resident of the eastside, will
soon make known his intention to
be in the race for governor.
Mr.. johnson stands we'll with all
classes, and particularly the
farmers and the " drys " of the
state. He served two terms in
the state Legislature and was de-
feated three years ago by Miles
Polndexter for the congressional
nomination from the third dist
rict. He has been strongly urg-
/ 4fed by his friends to come out for
the gubernatorial nomination, but
owing to pressing business affairs
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-07-14

ana absence from CD0 SCdCe, Has
declined to announce his deter
monation up to this time. That
he looks with fond eyes upon the
office is acknowledged, and be-
ing fighter, he is soon likely to
enter tae combat for all he is
worth.
Another person who will take
strength from Governor Hay is
no less than w. H. Kaufman,
assessor Of Whatcom county, a
farmer and quite prominent in
Grange affairs. Kaufman has
Just announced his candidacy for
governor, and tells what he
stands for, his platform being
frankly and unequivically for
single tax and direct Legislation.
Taboo these two ideas as we may,
they must be fought out, and the
people won't be contented until
they have been given a trial.
Kaufman has laid hold upon two
excellent ideas and he will gain
friends and supporters among
the farmers and common people
by reason thereof. He pledges
himself, if elected, to bring
about civil service reform in the
state offices, to Danish lobbies
from the capitol, to base his ap-
pointments altogether upon effic-
iency and not at all on politics,
and in sofar as he is able to place
the burden of taxation on fran
chises and on natural resources
which are held CUT use. Another
clause of his platform, and one
adopted by the state grange, is
that of binding legislative candi-
dates to one pledge only, namely
that Of voting to submit to popu-
lar vote and constitutional amend
ment petioned for by Is, 900 citi-
zens of the state. By this means,
he says, amendments providing
for single or for county option in
the form of tax to be adopted,
and for all other reform meas
ures favored by the progressive
element, can be put up to a test
vote before the people themselves
to be adpoted as the mass of the
voters, and not as the legistlat-
ors, shall dictate.
Within the next week or two
Otto A. Case, at present county
auditor of King county, will make
announcement of his candidacy
for governor, and will also make
a statement as to his platform.
In a general way Mr.. Case has
given out an idea to his friends
of what he intends to stand for.
He is opposed to anything that
has even the earmarks of a polit-
ical machine, such as is being
built up in the state by commits
sions and appointments is also
opposed to the condition of af-
fairs existing in the state legis-
lature whereby one house is ar
rayed against another, and need
ed legislation is side tracked.
Mr.. Case believes in extending
state aid to rural schools such as
is enjoyed by those of the larg-
est cities; believes in the devel-
opment of logged-off- lands i'll

rigation of arid lands in Eastern

PERSONS TALKED ABOUT
EUGENE LoRTON, editor Of the
Spokesman of Vancouver, Wash
ington, was a Seattle visitor last
Monday. Mr.. Lawton it will be
remembered begun publishing
the Spokesman a few months
ago and already he is assured of
success in it's publication. He is
simply a wonder in the publica-
ton business and has never fail
ed at any such undertaking.
EDITOR BLETHEN says the
red cross 3" published in the
Times has caused thousands to
inquire the reason therefor, and
he promises soonse or later to eX-
plain. 1t may perhaps mean the
red cross that Prosecuting At
torney Murphy will mail Col.
Blethen tc when he puts him on
trial for aiding and abetting Off
cial criminals.
A. A. SMITH, secretary of the
Washington State Press AssoCi-
alton is sending out notices to
the craft of the state concerning
the next meeting, which will be
held in Hoquium and the Grays
Harbor country. That section of
the state is preparing to do the
press gang as it has never before
had it done to them, and there
fore the secretary is hoping that
the number will be larger by
odds than ever before in the
history of the Association,
j. T. RONALD, who was the
presiding judge in the last Wap-
penstein trial, is getting a num-
ber of of flatering notices by the
press of the state on that part of
his charge which said, " truth is
truth no matter from what
source 1T eminates. =" Truth is so
seldom heard in court trials that
it sounds good when a Judge does
hear it.
ALVIN HEINRICH says this re-
call business makes him tired
and if Seattle hopes to get any,
where, any ways soon she had
better cut it out. Dilling and
none of the councilmen have
done anything to warrant re-
call talk and Seattle has had E.
nough cheap notoriety for the
present year.
WILL H. MORRIS, the noted
criminal lawyer of the North
west, is making the fight of his
life in the defense of Wappen-
stein and recently said, the
reason the jury convicted Mr..
Wappenstein was due to the fact
that it was so near the celebrat-
ing of the Fourth of July that
the jurymen agreed to a verdict
rather than miss those obseq-
uies." That is patriotism in
punches, Big Bill. but you doubt
know what you are talking
about.
