After putting in sixty days of
qui billing over vast array of trifl-
ing matter, the legislature of 1911
shut up shop last week. In the
words of the we'll known prayer, its
members should ask forgiveness for
the things they have done, as we'll
as the things they left undone. No
large or important actions were
taken, while several opportunities
to do desirable things failed of &C
complishment. AS a result Of the
session, very few of the members
have any record on which they will
be able to run next time. That's
some consolation.

At the recent convention of the
Washington State Buttermakers, c..
P. Hanson won the silver cup pre-
sented to the association by the De
Laval Dairy Supply company, Of Sc
attic. The conditions were that
there should be at least three scor-
ings year for three years, making
a total of nine scores, the cup to go
to the buttermaker who entered the
contest and remained during the
nine scornigs with the highest score.
Mr.. Hanson is the butter maker
for H. w. Maynard, proprietor of
the Capitol City-N esqually creamer-
les, Olympia and Sherlock, Wash.
The score was 94.05, and the winning
high score butter was made from
cream separated by De Laval separa-
tors.

Within the next few weeks the
first of the spring salmon will make
their appearance in the waters Of
Puget Sound. These big salmon
are mostly disposed Of on the fresh
fish markets and mild-cured and
shipped to Germany. Under the
four-year- cycle theory the run of
sockeye is not expected to be as
heavy this year as that Of 1910.

Judge Richard A. Ballinger's
resignation as secretary of the in.
terror become effective last Monday
and he will now devote his time to
the practice of law in his home
city, Seattle In his letter accepting
Judge Ballinger's resignation Presi-
dent Taft paid him a very high tri-
butte stating emphatically that at no
time since his appointment as "a
member of the cabinet has his faith
in him been shaken in the slightest
degree. The Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy has doubtless been brought
to a close but Mr.. Balilnger promises
to furnish the people of the nation
with interesting reading Of another
nature. He now proposes to bring
actions against the sarch-conspi-
Gators" for criminal libel and when
they are instituted tsome sensational
and interesting developments may
be looked for.

The state legislature by very
decisive vote decided not to discon-
tinue the office of state land COM
missioner and abandoned the idea of
appointing a commission to handle
the affairs of the state land depart
ment. Commissioner E. w. Ross
will continue in Office and the people
have reason to expect an honest ad-
ministration of its affairs. In dis
cussing the matter a member Of the
state senate is quoted as saying that
he believed the members of the
state legislature were elected for
another purpose than to devote their
time to airing the personal differ
ences of state officers and to further
ing the purely political ambitions of
Governor Hay, the political antago-
mist of Commissioner Ross. Such
political ambitions are of purely
personal nature and should be
settled by the parties intere sted,
without dragging the members of
the legislature into the fight. Let
US hope that this chapter is now
closed and that these gentlemen S
time may be devoted to administer
ing the affairs Of their offices.

all of the business firms of the
county, so far. as the Islander has
been able to learn, are in a healthy
financial condition. Our people
do but little Boosting although they
might with just grounds do much.
They move along in the even tenor
of their way and are gradually ac-
cumulating an abundance Of worldly
goods upon which to retire when
age demands that business cares and
daily toll be cast aside. There are
perhaps few who have to struggle
hard to keep the wolf from the door.
but can anyone point to any local
ity, no matter how prosperous,
where such is not the case? There
always have been, are now. and al
ways will be some unfortunates IN
every community. Our comparison
is not designed to apply to every
man, woman and child but must be
taken in the broader and more gene
raj acceptance Of the term.
If there is any one thing that the
editor abhors more than another it
is the calamity bowler and he does
not wish to be understood as inten-
tionally saying anything that can be
construed as slap at any city or
section of the west, or that might,
in any possible way, injure any city
spoken of or any individual who
may happen to be resident therein.
Conditions here are SO f1attering
when conditions elsewhere are re-
ported to be decidedly contrary that
he cannot refrain from making a
comparison which is so obviously to
the advantage of his home county.

The last big run of sockeye was in
1909, and the next will not occur
until 1918. The humpback salmon
family runs in great numbers in
Puget Sound waters every two-years.
The run was heavy in 1909, and if
the two-year theory holds good,
this season the run is expected to
equal that of 1909. Trade Register.
In the year 1910. the Hartman
lines operated 1850 miles of rail-
roads in the United States and Mex
leo without fatal accident to a
single passenger. This record is
unprecedented in the railway annals
of this count try. The lines referred
to are the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific. This showing is
the result of the general installation
of block signals and safety devices.
I he Hartman railroads operate
more miles Of automatic block sig
nails than any other road in the
world. This is a record to be proud

hRMTs GREAT NEED
 OF YOUNG OFFICERS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-To i'll the unusually large number of vacancies iii the ranks of the minor officers of the army the war department will con duct examinations of candidates to- morrow at the larger military posts throughout the country. Of late years much difficulty has been experienced in securing a sufficient number of de- sirable applicants, as a result of which the department decided to let down the bars and admit to the examina- ton any capable young men between the age of 21 and 27 years.
 The successful candidates will re- ceive appointments as second lieu tenants in the army, paying from $500 to S2OOO annually at the start. Some of the successful ones will be appointed to the engineering corps of the army, which heretofore has al ways been made up of the cream of the West Point graduates.

OHIO'S NEW LAW
 TESTED TOMORROW
First Trial of New Corrupt Practices Act in State
 wide Primaries
D DRASTIC LEGISLATION

COLUMBUS. O., Sept 4-The Kim. bali corrupt practices act enacted by the last session of the Ohio legislature will be given it's first practical test in the primaries held throughout the state Monday The law in all it's provisions applies to the primaries as well as to the regular elections. The results of it's operation are awaited with keen interest, particularly in Gin. cinnati, Toledo, Columbus and other large cities where it will be tried out
 The advocates cf the Kimball act believe that it will work a revolution in the methods of practical politics The measure is designed to bring practically every movement Of every political party and candidate into the daylight of publicity. The publicity feature is attained by the provisions of the law which compel the filing within ten days after any election, Of statements showing the precise amount of money spent by every can didate, party committee, or assocIa- ton or organization of two or more persons. interested in the election, and showing in addition how every dollar was spent Primary elections are included, and the law makes the filing of such statements absolutely compulsory. The law requires, further more, that the statements must in- clude not only the amount of money spent, but the amount promised" ." or received" !"
 The new land also places a strict limit upon the amount Of money any candidate can spend for his nomination. The amount allowed is to be in proportion to the ' population of the territory in which the candidate seeks nomination or electbCn. In addition, the law speci- fes all things that are to be regarded as legitimate campaign expenses, such as advertising. travelling expenses, eX ] penses of halls and speakers, offices and headquarters, the preparation of lists of voters, etc.
 The penalties for the violation of any Of the provisions of the law are ! severe. For a candidate 1t means for feiture of office, in additinn to the fine or Imprisonment. The fine is to ' re. lIOll alUO 10 SJOO ana Lne lulpIlSOu ment not to exceed six months.
 Employers who seek in any way tO ] influence or control the votes tf those in their employ are made amenable tc the law. An employer who threatened even verbally or indirectly that tho election of any particular candidate or ! ticket would result in a partial sus- pension of business or cut in wages, Inight, under the provision of the law be sent to prism for six months.
 The KimbalI law. which is pro. nounced by experts to be the most drastic corrupt practices" act in force in any of the states, is the result O, | the revelations of vote-buying in 1 Adams county, this state. where hun dreds of voters were disfranchised @ year ago by Judge 4. z. Blair. The measure vas introduced in the legisla- i ture by the representative from Adams county, Mr. Kimbal.
