Last week | said | was in favor OF the
recall for Judges, and come to think of it.
it's an awful thing to disagree with the
occupant of the White House on so great
a question. However, this is not the first
time Taft got away off wrong. His veto
of the Arizona constitution will, as L be-
lieve be approved by but few people, and
shows to my mind that the old man is not
quite as patriotic as he represents himself
to be. If am correctly informed, Arizona
is the only territory to demand recall OF
Judges, and why? Because the President
made lot of dirty political judicial appoint
ments in Arizona. If the President had fol-
lowed the course of Grover Cleveland and
personally selected the judges for that terri
tory, instead of appointing on the recon-
mendation of politicians, the people OF Arr
IONA would not have demanded recall OF
Judges There would have been no occasion
for the demand. Judge Gay recently said
that "the very foundation of the government
depended on an honest and fearless Ju-
dietary" and no one will deny this, and yet,
in the face of this truthful declaration, we
find President appointing judges whose
conduct and decisions create public sentl-
ment that demands a recall. The wrongful
and unpatriotic appointments OF Our presi-
dents in the past is responsible for the hrst
demand for a recall of judges and l dare
say, that if the men appointed to the Arl-
iona judiciary had been able, upright and
honest, the recall would not have been
thought of. The same will apply in the
states. There must be an Improvement IN
the judiciary, or the recall will come. The
tears the President sheds over possible
abuse of the recall are unnecessary. The
same may be said of the independence OF
the judges. An honest, fearless, upright
Judge will never be recalled for the mis-
takes he makes. Americans are too fair

Whether or not VIM. Pitt Trimble be-
comes a candidate for governor remains to
be seen, but he has made himself clear on
many of the vital issues of this state, and,
if he really decides to enter the contest, then
we suppose he will set forth his declaration
of principles and his remedies for many OF
the existing evils.

COMMENT.

DR.. James A. Client has returned from
four weeks wedding and business tour to
New York and the mountains OF Okanogan
county, in which latter place he and Mrs
Client enjoyed delightful outing. "Busi-
ness seems to be stagnant all over the coun-
try and it is the general impression that it
will not grow better until after the election.
Taft may win in the coming fight, but l
am inclined to think, Woodrow Wilson will
give him a hard run for his money"
Marshal Jacoby has returned from the
Spanish War Veteran encampment and is
delighted with his trip. The Spanish war
vets have been playing pretty successful
game so far as Seattle is concerned, and
Marshal Tacoby has more reasons to coin
eide with the statement than the average
person.
bob Hodge has been shooting Oft his
mouth again and declares he will not at
tend to the official wants of the court and
the respective judges can declare it con-
tempt if they so like, but he will give the
county commissioners and the judges to
understand he is Robert T. Hodge, sheriff
of King county, and might have very con-
sistently added to that, the darndest
fool that ever wore hat.
William H. Flett, prominent Seattle
attorney, died last Tuesday after BRET
illness Mr.. F1ett came to Seattle few
wears ago in the interest of the Presidential
candidacy of Robert La Follett, but got
cold reception when he asked the Republican
central committee to consider La Follett's
name. He has since labored with the
Proeressives and of course was an adherent
of Miles Poindexter He was law part
ner of Charley Shepard, with Offices in the
New York block.
Oliver T. Erickson, one of the men ar
rested for denouncing Judge Hantord, is
said to have done what he did because he
believed it would make him the next gov
ernor of the state. Otto A. Case did not
get an opportunity to get off his gun, but
he had It loaded and made no bones in say
ino to those near him. eff I can get an OPP
Dortunitv to shoot my wad it will make me
governor of the state beyond per adven-
ture of doubt" Finally the bruiser OF the
sheriffs office of King county, one Bob
Hodge, was dying to get off his load OF hog
wash and he declared if he did there would
be no doubt but that he would be elected
in both the primary and the general cleo
tion bv a two-to-one vote over his opponents

too thoroughly engrafted in their makeup
to demand removal of any judge for a
mistake in judgment. Leave it to the peo-
pie. The recall will not, and is not intended
to affect any judge who simply does his
duty, and the discussion of the recall should
be notice to the bench from Maine to the
Pacific that there are wrongs to be remedied.
A Canadian paper recently in discussing
annexation said that it would bring to
Canada "our tainted judiciary"
Only a small percentage of the voters
were at the polls Tuesday, but as usual, the
people voted right. The art bonds were de-
feated five to one, and no doubt, on the
theory that we could not afford the luxury
at present. The court house bonds were
also defeated. The past week made Won
derful change in sentiment on court house
location. Many people opposed the court
house bonds on account of the proposed
civic centre Now is the time for the es-
Enlistment of the civic centre and no more
public buildings should be built until the
location has been secured. Seattle is al
ready big thing, and it has been made big
by the push, energy and good Judgment OF
the city officers backed by the people. Just
look at it, and then think what it was TWEEN
ty years ago and you can form some idea
of the future.
Judge Hanford gave Crawford and his
handsome superintendent, of the Seattle,
Renton and Southern, the worst jolt they
ever experienced last week, when he dis
solved his temporary injunction and refused
the lawbreakers an appeal, and the next
morning the company commenced issuing
transfers to the Seattle Electric cars. Craw-
ford has "bullied' the Rainier Valley peo-
pie for long time and the injunctions he
has secured from our courts has given him
a "ful hand for some time, but he became
too arrogant and the warriors" of Rainier
Beach called halt, and surely, they did

wrongfully during that time we will not give
name. Criminal charges are still pending
against participants on both sides, and now
that Mr. Crawford has given the people
their rights, if consistent within their duties,
we would like to see these cases dismissed
by the district and practicing attorneys, and
permit peace and harmony to prevail. The
Rainier Valley has been retarded in growth
and increase in population for the past five
years on account of the management OF the
street car service and now that these OBJ
stacles have been removed give the people
a chance to forgive and forget.

it that wave of religious enthusiasm

FELINE is ALLOWED TO LIVE
Cat Survives Poison, Bullet and Gas
and Police Give Up Trying to
. Kill II.

Westfield, N IA cat which has
survived efforts to drown, poison and
shoot it passed safely through gas
explosion which blew the whiskers OF
of and almost cost the life Of Patrol
man John Roscrans, and startled one
district of Elizabethtown out Of the
best part of an evenings rest.
The cat had been brought to the
police station by two boys, who said
they had attempted in vain to oblige
their mother by getting rid Of the
animal. Roscrans thrust it into a
small tank in the rear of the police
station and then turned on the gas.
The continuance had been used for
months to smother cats and dogs that
had become a nuisance in the COM
munity. After the cat had been ten
minutes in the tank Roscrans shifted
at the tiny peephole by the knob. He
smelt no gas, and supposed, he said,
the supply pipe was stopped up.
Lighting his lantern, he opened the
door of the tank and set the lantern
inside to see what was the matter.
The explosion burst the tank, blew
the cat into Roscrans' face and set
fire to his clothing, hair and whiskers.
Several comrades ran out and res
cued him, and doctor attended him
and added plasters to his countenance.

WINTER CARE OF CHICKENS
Attention to Many Little Details Goes
Long Way Toward Making Poul-
try Keeping Pay.
(By e. c. CRAwFoRD.l


A circle within a CIRCLE winter lay
ers make early sitters; early matches
produce pullets that are winter layers.
When your new cockerels arrive, II
you have not disposed of all on the
place, be sure to mark the new ones
before turning them with the flock. A
hole punched in the web, between the
toes will be a secure mark, and may
save some trouble.
Sometimes the things easiest done
are put off from day to day. until 1t is
too late, or until much trouble is
caused A neighbor procured some
pure bred eggs last spring, set them
and put off seven nice chicks from
the hatch; the marking of the chicks
was put off from day to day, until now
she isn't sure which are the cockerels
from these eggs, and which are from
her own flock.
OF course there is no way to be sure,
so guess work will have to do with
her.
How much after worry would have
been saved If the back toe, the tip of
it, had been clipped with sharp scis-
sors, or else hole punched in the
web. Attention to the little things is
what counts most in the poultry game.
1t will do no harm, and may save
trouble, If the new cockerels are thor
oughly busted with fresh insect pow
der, and confined in an airy coop few
days before being kept with the flock.

DREAM SAVES A LIFE
HANGING OF SON is AVERTED BY
FATHERS VISION.
Nightmare Brings Proof of Innocence
After Suspect Had Been Convicted
Of Murder and Death Sentence Is
Suspended on Parents Plea.

Des Moines, Ia.-George Weems,
aged SO, originally sentenced to be
hanged will soon step forth from the
Iowa State prison at Fort Madison a
free man, after sixteen years servi-
tude. He was convicted of the MUIR
der Of L. B. Ridpath, a conductor on
the Chicago Great Western railroad,
who was on his way to his train when
shot in the neck and killed.
Weems maintained his innocence.
He had been with John Grout and
Hammill earlier in the evening, but
left them to visit with Miss Kitty
Leary. While in her company he said
he heard shot fired in the street.
He rushed out and saw the conductor
staggering in the street, helped him
to the curb and fed. When arrested
next day it was discovered that the
woman by whom he could prove an
alibi had left the city.
On the night of the murder the
father Of George Weems, who lives at
Abel, twenty miles from Des Moines,
had bad dream. He left his bed and
walked into the country. He was
stopped by several friends, to whom
he told his dream.
1t was to the effect that he had
seen his son George with two other
persons about to be buried, though
his son was alive. The father cried
out for some one to help him, and a
man whom he did not know said: 'T
will save your boy from the grave"
The man jumped into the grave and
lifted out the son alive.
The next day Mr.. Weems was called
to the assistance of his son, accused
Of murder. After the death sentence,
Weems' father went to the private Of
fee Of Governor Drake to plead Glenn
ency for his son. He had never seen
the governor, but when he entered
the room he cried: Governor, I know
you; you are the man in my dream
who helped lift my boy out Of the
grave Then the father recounted
his dream, whereupon the governor
said:
I'm real life will 1 help you lift
your boy out Of the grave"
He signed the order committing the
death sentence to life Imprisonment.
The woman who was with Weems
on the fatal night was found, and was
finally prevailed upon to tell her story
in confidence to Senator A. B. Cum
Minis, then governor Of Iowa. AS
result the sentence Of life was COM
muted, and in few days George
Weems will leave the penitentiary
free man.

Cost of Poultry House.

The New York Cornell experiment
station, by actual tests, has esti-
mated the cost Of one house for poul-
try, with two pens, each 12x12 feet,
large enough to accommodate 70 fowls
in all, is S1.61 per fowl. The house of
this character is a shed roof build
ing. The cost of another style, with
pens 16x16 feet, and accommodating
1928 fowls, is $1.46 per fowl. The con-
tinuous house, which is 20 feet wide
and 10 feet long, is divided into five
pens, each 20 feet square and one
feedroom, 1Ox20 feet. Exclusive of
the feedroom, the cost of the contin-
uous house is "a cents per fowl, or
s1.03 per fowl, including the cost of
the feedroom. In all cases four square
feet is allowed per fowl.

BUTTER PROBLEM IN WINTER
Dairyman Cannot Hope to Secure Good
Article Without Proper Ripening
of the Cream.

We cannot hope to make good but
tel without the proper ripening OF the
cream. This is, in fact, the most I'M
portant part of the work. Most farm
people keep Swimming during the en-
tire week, putting all into one lot, and
often the last days churn1ng is
skinned directly into the churn, and.
of course, this has not ripened at all.
This plan gives cream of six Differ
ent periods of ripening. 1t is almost
impossible to get good butter from
week-old cream
Churning should be done at least
twice week, says writer in an ex-
change. After the cream is taken off,
1t should be kept at low temperature
to discourage the growth of bacteria
until about twelve hours before churn-
ing, when the starter should be added
to ripen it, and the temperature raised
to about sixty-five or a little over.
In summer, churning can be done
at So degrees, but in winter the tenn
perature should be from six to eight
degrees higher. If churned at more
than IS degrees, a good deal of the
curd may be Incorporated and this
will make butter of a cheesy flavor.
which does not keep well.
Rancid butter is caused by INSULT
cient washing. The milk left in the
butter will soon become strong, and 1T
should be all washed and worked out,
care being taken. however. not to over
wash the butter, as this will take out
the good flavor.
In sailing, the mass should be spread
out thinly, and the salt sprinkled over
evenly, because it is almost impossible
to work the salt through all of the but
ter if it is thrown in in one place.
Streaked, or notified, butter is near
ly always caused by uneven sailing
After sailing, the butter should be al
lowed to stand for five to six hours
and then worked again.

Hurt by Freak Hammer.

Seattle, Wash.-Miss Hannah Lun.
den decided to tack little curtain
around box in her kitchen in which
she kept table delicacies. After a
search of several minutes she OBJ
tanned the tacks, land was unable to
find a hammer with which to drive
them.
Going to the garnet she got heavy
loaded shotgun cartridge, and using 1t
as hammer, began to drive the tacks.
All went we'll until she struck the
third tack, when there was a loud ex-
plosion. The shot entered her right
hand. decorating it. and splitting the
thumb and finger to the bone.
She was removed to the Seattle

charge said that she may lose her
hand as a result of the accident.

Hardy Peaches.

OF the newer peaches, Niagara and
Willett are in the same condition:
very few specimens. Fitzgerald is
behind Kalamazoo, the latter having
a fine crop; as have also Belle of
Georgia, Carman and Triumph, Tri-
umph is the only yellow extra early
peach and one of the most reliable,
not easily stirred and putting out
late. Carman is white-feshed, larger
than Triumph and nearly as early,
says the Horticultural.
The older variety, alberta, is giving
a good account of itself, and also the
fine old Oldmixon Free, so long and
so favorably known.
And it may be added-for the bene-
fit of those who consider that the COM
mon seedlings are so very hardy
that many of the seedlings are behind
even the Crawfords in bearing the
present season. And the same has
been observed in many other seasons.
The surest and most reliable are the
right kinds of the cultivated varie-
ties.

LABOR IN POTATO HARVEST
sIowness In Newer Districts Not Only
Expensive, but Increases Dangers
of Freezing.

The writer has been struck by the
low efficiency of labor in the potato
harvests of our newer regions as com,
pared with our established potato dis
tricts; difference almost as great as
between the labor cost Of shoes made
by cobbler and by factory, and for
much the same reasons.
This slowness is a disadvantage, not
alone in cost of production, but in in
creased danger of freezing damage.
For economy and speed, the best
sorters must be used, and solid sacks
Liverpool returns; the best wire
baskets, not buckers and candy pals;
the best needles and high grade of
Italian sack Irvine are none too good.
Standard potato wagons are absolute
ly necessary to the grower who
would make money.
The work should be systematized,
and each man have his job. The dig
ger man should feed and clean his
horses, and then have his breakfast,
while others harness the horses, so
the digger can run at daylight.
In potatoes yielding $4,000 pounds
per acre, each picker should put on
the sorter not less than 5000 pounds
per day, of nine or ten hours. Where
the yield is larger and made up of
big potatoes, 10000 to $4,000 pounds
are sometimes picked by good man;
and the grower should be willing to
see such picker in such potatoes
make SIS day. 1t pushes the deal
along, and is worth the price, being
often cheaper than day labor at 81 or
$3.50.

FEED FOR FATTENlNG LAMBS
EnsiIage and Slower May Be Used to
Advantage, But Will Not Serve
as Complete Ration.
CBy O. CLARENCE MALMRosE)

10y ~. CLARENCE MALMrNOOE.)
While corn ensilage and corn slower
may be used to advantage in ration
for fattening lambs, it will not serve
as a complete ration for conditioning
them. Corn ensilage will not produce
rat when fed alone, but will produce
very good results when fed in COM
b1nation with clover hay and other
forms of roughage and grain foods.
Corn ensilage, clover hay and from
one to two pounds of grain foods make
very satisfactory ration for feeding
lambs. When fed in this manner, the
ensilage will take the place of roots
and provide an abundance of succu-
lence for the lambs. Care must be ex-
ercised in feeding ensilage to all kinds
of sheep. Too large quantities, or feed
ing it when in a bad condition, will
many times produce securing. and
sometimes kill the lambs.
The most experienced feeders and
sheep owners consider about two
pounds of corn ensilage the maximum
amount that can be fed to lamb each
day. This amount, in connection with
clover hay and grain foods, will make
a very satisfactory ration. Ensilage
and clover hay will make very good
maintenance ration and produce fairly
good growth, but the lambs will lack
the finish that is necessary to bring
the top market price. Many times
when the price of grain foods is high.
the lambs may be wintered in very
fair condition with very little grain
food, but when 1t is desired to market
the lambs in the spring, it will be
necessary to feed considerable corn or
grain foods in addition to the rough
age.
One of the chief causes of SO many
failures in feeding lambs is due to
the fact that we do not spend more
extra money for grain foods, and prop
erly condition the lambs, so that they
will bring the very top market price.
The extra time and feed used in finish
ing the lambs is what counts when
they are placed upon the market.
