AS chairman of the Finance Com

undue parsimony. To all applicants
for appropriations he has been firm

In his speech withdrawing from
the contest for denomination, Cover
nor Crothers said that the Legislature
of 1908 and 1910 had given the State
more progressive legislation and pro-
PEELED it further among progressive
lines in four years than any other
State had advanced in the same time.
The Governor named the important
laws enacted at the session of 1903.
Mr.. German was floor leader of the
majority and in 1910 he was President
of the Senate. At both sessions he
exercised a powerful influence and he
took leading part in all the great
bills the Governor enumerated and
against his opposition, if he had been
opposed to any of them, they could
not have passed.
The training and experience which
Mr.. German gained by his service in
the Senate has equipped him admirab-

WaterFamine!

1t is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn it's pa
irons in the careful use of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IN PERAIVE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with the Com
pany towards this end, it is a regret
able fact that some persons still con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
No charge will be made for street
or lawn service-from July !, 1911, un-
til further notice.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that this appeal be STRICTLY and
HONESTLY OBSERVED.

WHY THE GRANGE AND
LABOR UNIONS SHOULD
WORK HAND IN HAND

by c. B. Kegley, Master Washington
State Grange.)
When | received the editors request
to write an article under the above cap
ton, for this issue of the Free Lance.
| promptly accepted for | felt that |
should welcome every opportunity to ce-
ment the feeling of common interest and
mutual good will between city and coun-
try workers.
Thinking over the matter since, l be
lieve the title "Why Country and City
Producers Should Work Hand in Hand
to Advance the Common Good" would
more nearly express the idea that is at
the base of the movement that is now
gathering strength so rapidly, to break
down the prejudice and remove the bar
rers of misrepresentation that have in
the past kept the organized workers of
the labor unions and the organized farm
ers apart.
The statements 'Why Country and
City Producers Should Work Hand in
Hand to Advance the Common Good"
is so clear in itself as to seem to make
an article to elucidate it unnecessary.
The answer is self-evident- because they
have common good to advance; and
the effective way to advance a common
good is "hand in hand or, as we more
of 70, tShA 10 el 10.
and the way for large numbers to work
effectively, shoulder to shoulder, is
through organization.
Who, today, denies the right of the
farmers to organize for their own bene-
fit? And, that right being conceded,
what farmer is there who would deny
to the workers of the city the right to
enjoy the same privilege? The right of
both the farmer and the city worker,
then, being conceded, to organize sep
arately for mutual protection and bene-
fit, who will deny the wisdom of co
operation between these two groups of
industrial workers? The farmer and the
city worker have no differences that
should keep them apart.
But they have been kept apart, and
there are not wanting those who raise
their voice in bitter protest to prevent
any cooperation between organized la
bor and organized farmers. Some who
raise their voice in warning cry are
sincere in their belief that the farmers
and organized labor can have nothing in
common, but in the great majority OF
cases these warning voices are inspired
by interests having everything to gain
by keeping city and country producers
from understanding each other and
joining forces to advance their common
good. And right here | think we fint

SUNDAY AT

DAY SET ASIDE BY CHAU-
TAUQUA ASSOCIATION FOR
ORGANIZED LABOR TO OBJ
SERVE-PRoMINENT ORA
TORS ON THE LIST FOR
THAT OCCASION.

Sunday, August l3, has been set aside
by the Chautauqua association at Max
welton as Labor Day" On that day
the Everett Trades Council will furnish
several speakers prominently connected
with organized labor of this state.
Charles Perry Taylor, Secretary or
the Washington State Federation of
Labor, j. II. Wallace, member of the
Industrial Insurance Commission, will
be the principal speakers.
In another column the boat schedule
for the day appears. Members of or
ganized labor and their friends should
plan to spend next Sunday at Maxwell
ton. 1t is delightful place for days
outing and the trip over is very enjoy
able. The speakers are among the ablest
eXponents of unionism there are in the
state and an intellectual treat awaits
those who spend Sunday at MaXwelton.

GOMPERS TO
TOUR STATE
SCHEDULED TO DELIVER A
PUBLIC ADDRESS IN SEAT
TILE 28th OF THIS MONTH
WILL BE ORATOR AT THE
LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
IN FRISCO.

The latter end of this month is to
witness the long deferred visit of Presi-
dent Gompers of the \. L. of L. to the
Pacific coast. For several years past
Mr.. Gompers has planned to visit this
section of the country but momentous
events in the East have transpired i'll
time to compel a change of plans. A
year ago last spring a meeting of the
executive council of the a. +. of L. was
to have been held i'll Seattle and along
came the great Philadelphia car strike
and engaged the attention of the union
leaders. The suits pending against Mr..
Gompers and his associates over the
Buck stove controversy didn't make it
any easier to come west and continued
stponement of the western tour was
unavoidable.
Definite word comes finally that the
great labor chieftain will be among us
soon. He is billed to deliver the Labor
Day address in San Francisco and later
will speak in Los Angeles. Previous to
his California trip he will tour the
Northwest, speaking in Spokane, Port
land, Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver,
b. c. He will arrive in Seattle from
Spokane on Sunday evening, August 27,
speaking to the public on the following
evening.
The Everett Trades Council communi
Gated with him by wire in an effort to
secure him for public address here but
were informed that his itinerary had
been so arranged that it would be i'm
possible to make any change.
1t is probable that many local union
lists will journey to Seattle to hear Mr..
Gompers speak and the journey will be
we'll worth while as no man in public
life has a message of deeper meaning to
deliver nor is there an ADLER speaker in
the country.

WILL DRAW UP
NEW CHARTER
DECLARE MANY CITIZENS
AFTER HEARING SPOKANE
MAN SPEAK ON COMMITS
SION PLAN - HOPED TO
START BALL ROLLING THIS
FALL.

The visit to this city of D. c. Coates
commissioner of public works of Spo-
kane, and his address in the high school
auditorium, has given decided impetus
to the agitation for commission form
of municipal government.
The convincing manner in which he
told his audience of the immense saving
of the public funds effected in the short
time since Spokane adopted her new
charter, the employment of citizens and
taxpayers ON public work in preference
to the floating foreign element, the
prompt and efficient manner in which
the business of the city was carried on,
the elimination of ward politics and cor
poration domination, made profound
impression on thinking men of Everett.
The feature of the commission form
which stands out prominently like a
beacon light is the opportunity it af-
fords the people to absolutely fix re
sponsibility for the conduct of the af-
fairs of the city. The underground
methods by which incompetency, graft.
laXity, and the like are iuggled under
the old system from one office to an
other and from one department of gov
ernment to another are done away with
and in their place system established
which with the aid of the initiative,
referendum and recall gives the people
supervision over their public
affairs.
Advocates of the commission form are
hopeful to supplant the ward system in
Everett with the new form. There is no
apparent intention to leap blindly in the
matter nor to adopt new charter until
has been given to study the
varied forms of commission government
in operation throughout the country. a
start should be made this fall by elect
ing on city election day freeholders
to draw up and submit to the
people new charter for their consid
eration.
Commission form of municipal gov
emment is the next step and cannot be
argued away by calling it a fad or a
makeshift. Sooner or later it will be
adopted in Everett and an open minded
attitude that is willing to investigate is
the proper one for Everett's citizens

NOTES OF MACHINISTS'
STRIKE IN QUEEN CITY

The government transport Dix, which
morning newspaper stated several
weeks ago that the Moran Ship company
had been awarded the contract for over
hauling is being overhauled and repaired
by the firms of King & Winge and
Wright & Smith. These are both eight
hour shops and the work is being done
under fair conditions. The government
officials wanted to get the job out on
time, and being guided by their past eX-
perience with the scab firms, they fig
ured that they had better give the con
tract to shop that could secure com
petent mechanics.

c. Z. Elliott managing foreman, and
Jean Durey, superintendent of the Union
Machinery and Supply company's ma
chine shops, are in the city Jail, not be
ing able to furnish 81 800 bonds on a
grand larceny charge. They are accused
of stealing $40 worth of goods from
the shop in which they were employed
and dsposing of them to the Alaska
Junk company. The complaining wit
ness is c. f. Farnsworth head of the
Union Machinery and Supply company
The accused men made the statement
that Il great deal of the material that
had been sold to the junk company was
stuff that had been spoiled by incompe-
tent workmen, and in order to cover it
up they decided that it would be best
to dispose of it i'll the manner in which
they did and which brought about their
arrest About year ago or over, one
of those men called Business Agent Tay-
lor CRATER and said that all labor
leaders were grafters. 1t is evident that
he was Judging Others by himself.
The committee appointed by the Cen
tral Labor Council to go before the
molders and other iron trades has beer
meeting with considerable success, as
they have at last succeeded in bringing
about Joint meeting of committees
representing six crafts affiliated with
the metal trades. This committee met
on the 4th and drew up a joint agree
ment which will be presented to the diff
ferent local unions, the Metal Trade,
! Council and the Central Labor Comci
ers are working right with us and theil
co operation is felt and appreciated by
the machinists. They have decided t.
put business agent in the field to cove
the Puget Sound country, with headquar
/ ters in Seattle. Business is still very
dull and all kinds of rumors are current
regarding the action that will be takei
| by the shop owners in September. Tn,
boilermakers have established the eight
hour day in all shops in Seattle eXcep
the Washington Iron works and Moran
ship yard. The maehinists have estab
lished the eight hour day in 33 shops il
Seattle alone.

MOOSE TEAM
TRIMS LUDLOW

| 1t was Il sensational uphill fight the
Moose put up out at the ball yard Sun
day. It's some ball playing when a
team comes up from behind a five to-
nothing lead and noses over the wire a
winner by one point with the other fell
lows putting up good ball all the time.
That's exactly what the locals did and
Ithey deserved every bit of applause they
got
The game started out like so many of
those matinee performances the Moose
have staged, with bad inning in which
all seemed lost save honor. There was
something galvanic in that crowd
though last Sunday that seemed to
shoot through the whole Moose lineup.
1t rooted and pulled for the home bunch
in manner that reminded one of the
old days out at the fair grounds when
people down at Edmonds used to run
out of doors on Sunday afternoons to
see what crowd of yelling dervishes were
nap.
1t was noticeable that when the
crowd woke up the boys braced like
good fellows and began to hit and field
in sensational style. Do it again, fans
and fanettes, it's better than panning
and it wins more games.
Giddings played steady game at
first base and keyed up the whole in
field. That youngster is ripe for minor
league company and some team is over
looking bet that it doesn't sign him
up. He is a fair hitter and the steadiest
performer on the initial sack ever seen
on a local diamond.
Singleton, the new southpaw, had
much to do with winning his own game
He had good control, curve that had
his opponents swinging their heads off
and drove in with the club three of the
six runs. 1t was his initial bow to
home audience. Take seat up at the
head of the table, kid, you're going to
be a regular boarder.
Godfrey, the demon slugger of the
bunch, had his batting record punched
as full of holes as Swiss cheese Three
times in row he stood at the plate
only to be sent back to the bench on
three strikes. The fans rather enjoyed
his discontinue and good -naturedly
joshed him. Ordinarily this boy God
frey has the fielders playing in deep
field and the pitcher in trouble all the
time, but Sunday the Ludlow twirler
had him roped and tied.
Next Sunday the Moose play at Brem-
erton and incidentally will run an ex-
cursion to the navy yard city, Boat
leaves City dock at 0 a. m. and an op-
portunity is available for days outing
that ought to be enjoyable. If the beau
tiful scenic ride to Bremerton, an OPP
portunity to see some of Uncle Sans
fighting ships and red hot ball game
don't pack that boat to the limit, it's no
use offering Everett folks anything.
In the absence of the Moose the
Knights of Columbus will take on the
Oyamas or the Matsumas or something
like that. They hail from the land of
the rising sun but they do say that they
uncork a brand of baseball that is some
class. The novelty should draw big
crowd of the boys to Robbins park next
Sunday.

BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
bumps. They would dry up and leave
scale. Then it would break out
again and 1t spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months whsn a
friend told me about Cuticura. | sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake Of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and WELL and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that l have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Har-
mon, R. F. D. 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept.
10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam
pie of each, with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. 16 l., Boston.

l was at first opposed in the public in
terest to granting the elimination
which he requested, nevertheless
through the undue influence of my
brother, Mr.. Charles p. Taft, and the
disclosure of the real persons in in
terest, was induced improperly and
for the promotion of their private
gain, to make the order.
THE statement in so far as my broth
err is concerned-and that is the chief
feature Of the postscript-is utterly
unfounded. He never wrote to me or
spoke to me in reference to Richard
S. Ryan or on the subject of Controller
Bay or the granting of any privileges
or the making Of any orders in respect
to Alaska. He has no interest In
Alaska, never had, and knows nothing
of the circumstances connected with
this transaction. He does not remem-
Der that he ever met Richard S. Ryan.
He never heard of the Controller Bay
railroad until my cablegram of inquiry
reached him, which, with his answer,
is in the record
'Mr. Ballinger says in telegram in
answer to my inquiry, both of which
are in the record that he never re-
ceived such a postscript and that he
was in Seattle on the date of July 10,
when 1t was said to have been written.
"Mr. Richard S. Ryan in a letter
which he has sent me without
solicitation, and which is in the
record, says that he never met my
brother, Mr.. Charles P. Taft, and
that so far as he knows, Mr.. Charles
P. Taft never had the slightest inter-
est in Controller Bay, In the CONTROL
er Railway and Navigation company,
OF in any Alaskan company. and he
utterly denies writing or signing the
alleged postscript. The utter improb-
ability of his writing such a postscript
to Mr.. Ballinger at Washington, when
