resentative OF the postofice de-
partment, whose headquarters are
in Chicago, was in town Satur-
day, investigating the railway mail

about the resumption of peace. but
stating he VISA to investigate condi-
tons throughout the tenth district,
and report any changes he might deem
essential to the betterment of the

weeks singing into the photograph
the songs of the Mojave dialects. The
Indian singer can sing songs In nine
different dialects and he knows over
three hundred different songs. Some
of the songs are along historical re-
citals and it takes several days for
single song. Many of the songs have
been handed down from father to SON
for generations, and 1t is hoped that
the early history Of the Indian race in
the southwest may be amplified
through these songs. After the songs
have been sung in the dialect into
the photograph they will be translated
into English by Captain Jack Jones.
The university will then have not only
a complete historical record, but 1t
will also possess a musical record
showing the cadences adopted by the
Indian singers and also the words they
use. This record may or may not be
of tremendous value in establishing
the connection between the American
indian and oriental people.

say it was not?-in advocating divis-
ion where is it wrong now? If it
was wise to cut loose then, with moth
ing but convenience of county seat
to consider, it is surely wisdom to
divide now when in addition the cost
of establishing the new county can
be saved by escaping the absurd cost
of the new buildings.
The following editorial in the Wash
ingtOnian yesterday morning indi-
Gates a disposition to smother discus
sion of this question, that is capable
but of the construction alluded to
above:
1.-The Elma Chronicle sees in the
proposal to divide Chehalis county a
scheme on the part of the Grays Har-
Dor end of the county to welsh on
it's share of the cost of the new court
house. The Chronicle need not fear.
Unless it and the other newspapers
of the county bring on a division fight
by an energetic discussion of it's
merits and dement's, there will be no
divisional least not until this coun-
ty has many more people than shown
by the census of 1910.
But it will not take much news
paper agitation to open up the old
sores, and start a fight that will go
on for months to fruitless end. We
have received long letter for publ.
cation from good up-country writer,
who takes q lively fall out of Mon
tesano. We thought at first that we
would print this letter, but can see
that it's publication would simply add
fuel to what is at present very
small flame, and as we are firmly
convinced that no general conflagra-
ton is need in Chehalis county this
year, we decline to become stoker."
Here we have the admission that
the people are ready to act if their
attention is directed to the opportun-
ity to right the wrongs of the past
four years, if the newspapers of the
Harbor will do their duty to their To-
cality. The declination of the Wash
ingtonian to publish the letter of
correspondent on this subject is so
far from the customary policy of that
usually fair paper as to be incOmpre-
hensible, and is calculated to cause
more thinking on the subject that
would columns of the dreaded news

Changing the Law

A movement is reported on foot in
this city to have the second class law
amended with provision requiring
the election of city attorney and pO-
lice Judge instead of their being ap-
pointed by the mayor as at present.
Just what good public object is to be
attained is not clear We as peO-
pie are too prone to law making, law
changing-and law breaking-on
slight provocation anyhow, and the
only advocates of this change the
Herald has so far heard of seems to
be bunch of young attorneys, who
may feel that a better opportunity to
decorate those positions would come
their way by the election plan.
Aberdeen has tried both methods
and probably found in neither an as
surance of securing the right man for
the place, yet the proposed change is
opposed to modern ideas of municipal
government. The trend of the times
is toward Capitalization of RESPONSE
bility in city administration and that
strict accountability be exacted from
the responsible head.
This is the underlying idea in the
commission form of government where
four men govern the city, each SUI
preme in his department in the en-
plOyment of subOrdinates, and each
judged solely by results. If Aberdeen
has candidate for mayor who can
not be trusted to appoint an attorney
and police Judge, who, acting in har
mony with him, will labor for the best
results to the city at large, the peo-
pie should know his name before the
primary elections. Such an amend
ment to the law would be retrogres-
sion, an act Aberdeen does not wish
to father
