In the village where Major Lee. re-
tired on half pay, had taken up his
residence, 1t was generally argued by
the villagers that he was dictatorial
and without sentiment Moreover, he
was blunt-spoken and kicker. He
had run a regiment, and he felt II his
duty to run the town. His wife and
his daughter Nellie we're well liked,
but the people kept clear OF the major.
He didn't carry loaded gun with him,
but no had very sarcastic tongue.
And yet underneath his bluff. as his

sentiment. He had revealed It on
several occasions. and now the family

the presence OF n squawking parrot
for single hour was a matter of as.
constituent outside the family, but he
had endured her for three years. That
her death should bring a look Of
melancholy to his face caused certain
people to think they had done him In

on her back beneath her perch. with
all the squawk and chatter gone out

WANT A SEPARATE
SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

The State Humane society in a
report to Governor Hay recon-
mends that the girls be taken
from the present training school
and that a new school be estab-
lished for them between Tacoma
and Seattle.
Segregation of the sexes is
deemed important. Also the
society recommends that segrega-
ton of classes among the boys
be made so that the desperate
and vicious may not instiIl their
Viciousness into those less har-
dened.
The establishment of the train
ing school between Tacoma and
Seattle is urged because It would
then be possible to place the girls
in homes easily.

WHAT THE BOYS BE A DOM
DOWN TO THE LEGISLATURE
Eight Hour Law May Be Passed With Compromises
On Both Sides.
fsnecial to che Times.l

OLYMPIA, Feb. 1.-THE eight
hour law for woman will pass the
house. But not as it was hoped
for by those who have labored for
1t. An amendment, bitterly
fought, finally did get In, by a
vote of SO to 36, which excludes
from the operation of the law fe-
male help in harvesting, packing,
curing, canning and drying fruit,
and in fish canneries.
Representative Simms of Jeffer-
son county principally carried on
the fight for this amendment,
which was introduced by Repre-
sentative Halsey. In the morn
ing, the labor advocates carried
the day, defeating the Sims
amendment to exclude from the
law all but those who worked at
machinery and were compelled to
stand up all day. Hugh Todd
warned the legislators against
the amendment as probably i'm
pairing the constitutionality of the
measure, and Representative
Campbell, the father of the eight
hour bill, spectacularly refuted
the imputation that the women
workers did not want the law
passed, by unrolling over the
length of the main aisle in the
house chamber a lengthy petition
containing the signatures of 90
600 women toilers.
But the noon recess apparently
broke the magic spell, and the adj
vocates of the measure were put
upon the defensive, and though
one after another, Teats, Todd,
Campbell, Denman and several
others pointed out the unconstitu-
tionality of the Halsey amend
ment, it nevertheless carried. Rep
resentative Todd, however, 10th to
believe that the defeat of the bill
was intended by the injection into
J it of an unconstitutional proyi-
sion, again pointed out the class
legislation it contained, and asked
for a reconsideration. The vote
upon his motion stood A to Al,
and was declared lost.
And still the fight went on. Rep
resentative Teats offered an
amendment providing that should
the Halsey amendment be declared
unconstitutional by the courts, it
should not invalidate the remain
der of the bill. And the house car
ried that amendment. Represen-
tative Foster attempted to slip
through another amendment, in
tended to defeat the life of the
bill, by doing away with the pun
ishment of employers who violate
the law. But there were few,
even among the opponents of the
bill, who joined with Foster. So
the bill passed on to third reading
with toss-up as to which side is
the real victorious one on the re-
suits yesterday.

That's all.
His name is ]. e. Campbell of

president of the State Federation

that old doctrine that "the source
of government is derived from the

theoretically, according to Camp
