Death Of Mrs. Harley GiIlispie.

Died, at her home near Albion on
Saturday, March A, Nellie, wife of
Harley Gillispie, in her 9th year.
The family came to Washington from
Steel, North Dakota, less than two
years ago, and the deceased had
made many friends who mourn the
loss of one so young and well be-
loved, and extend sincerest sympathy
to the bereaved husband and little
children.
Mrs. Gillispie's father and mother
from North Dakota were with her
during her last illness, as were also
Mr.. Gillispie's parents from Califor-
mia. The funeral services were held
in the Methodist church at Albion
Monday at 10 o'clock, Rev. Bartlett
officiating and interment being in AL
bion cemetery.

tempt was made to harmonic and
regulate all along the line, taking
King county as a basis, as that was
the first one to be acted upon. How
erer, there are instances, as can be
seen, where an Office in most of the
classes is rated lower than others, and
in one case at least, it is placed high
er than the others. This will no
doubt be remedied when the bill
comes before the house. An attempt
was made to bring the salaries to an
even basis in counties of the same
class. There is some discrepancy
and discomfort because the counties
in one class may range from the mini
mum to the maximum of population.
However, it was necessary to make
some reclassification, as affairs now
are in a rather chaotic condition.
The bill came up in the house
Wednesday afternoon, but after a
long debate was laid over for action
until the last day of the session. 1t
is doubtful if the measure will be-
come a law.

Who's Got the Button.

The wife of the clergyman of a
certain suburban parish was mending
clothes the other day when a visitor
was announced. The hostess went on
with her sewing, for the caller was a
well known parishioner After a
while the visitor glanced toward the
sewing table and exclaimed:
why there are some buttons ex-
actly like some my husband had on
his last winter suit. They are an
odd kind of button, too. Where did
you get them?"
The clergyman's wife smiled rogu-
ishly I'm the collection basket"
she answered, quietly. 81 found a
good many of the same kind. I am
saving them up for possible USE"
The caller changed the subject as
hastily as she could, and somehow or
other she did not stay long.

President Bryan Speaks on "SociaE,,

Those who had the opportunity to
hear President Bryan speak before
the Twentieth Century Club on THE
Rise of Socialism" are now congratu-
lating themselves. One may say
without fear of contradiction that
there is no man in this part of the
United States who has studied the
historical side of Socialism more
carefully and earnestly than Presi-
dent Bryan. One may say with equal
confidence that never before in the
history of this college was the de-
yelopment of Socialism brought out
SO clearly and forcibly as on this oc-
casion.
In the beginning the speaker
pointed out the change in point of
view of the means to be EMPLOYED in
social development in the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries. In the
former people believed that all ills
could be cured by legislation, but
after the French Revolution MANY
came to the conclusion that the evils
were not so much political as social
and economic. The history of Soc
ialism may be divided into three per-
iods The first dates from about
the end Of the Napoleonic era to
about 1886; the second developed
from the first and disappeared as
force soon after the Revolutions of
lS4S; and the third period begins
with the use of Woman Socialism to
the present time.
Each period has its characteristics
and prominent leaders. Robert
owen was the leader of the social
reforms of the early nineteenth CEN
fury. He tried to improve the con-
dition of the men and women about
him, believing earnestly that the
man is good or bad according to his
environments. Finding the conser-
vative conditions of England a hind
rance to the carrying out of his
schemes, Owen came to America and
tried to work out his ideas in New
Harmony, a community which he
founded. Another prominent leader
of this epoch was Saint Simon.
In the first period the aid of the
state was not sought in working out
the ideas of the reformers. But in
the second, under the leadership of
Louis Blanc, an attempt was made
to invoke the support OF the state in
the various efforts of social better
ment. This resulted in the social
workshops in France and various
other schemes which we find advo-
Gated about 1S4S.
After this period the leadership
of Socialism passed from France to
Germany Contrary to the popular
notion, President Bryan regards
Ferdinand LaSalle as a much ADLER
man, and much more entitled to the
honor of being called the originator

BILL
MAY BE DEFEATED
After Passing the Senate the Bill
Providing for the Reconsideration
of the Counties May Not
Pass House.

The senate has passed senate bill
No. 1873, and it is now before the
house for consideration. This bill
reclassities the counties of the state
into nine classes, which is only about
one-third as many classes as now ex-
list. The bill as it passed the senate
contains an entirely new lineup for
salaries of county officers. The sal
aries are arranged according to the
class Of counties. Heretofore there
has been quite a discrepancy in the
salaries of the officers. They were
made many years ago. In the mean
time some of the counties have de-
veloped rapidly and some have not
made so much progress.
Attorney Thought Most Important
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the debate on the bill was
the effort to favor the office of county
attorney. In King county it was at
tempted to make the salary $4,000
instead of $4,000, as proposed in the
bill. Finally 1t was compromised at
$4,000. Senator George U. Piper of
King county was responsible for this
move.
Senator Oliver Hall and Senator
Joseph Arrasmith of Whitman coun-
ty attempted to secure a high salary
for the class of counties in which
Whitman is rated. The bill gives
the attorney only $1,000 a year. SEN
ator Hall pointed out that the prose
cutting attorney of his county for
years past had been unable to handle
the business, and extra help was nee
essary, and the county had paid out
large sums for extra legal talent. He
thought that the county should be al
lowed to pay enough salary to attract
high-class lawyer. The senator
tried to secure a salary of $4,000 q
year, and when this was voted dowr
wanted to compromise on $500 ant
then on $4,000 year. However, tn,
other senators thought this would b,
class legislation the way the amend
ment was drawn. 1t was proposed
to allow the extra compensation t
be voted by the county commission
ers. Many senators pointed out tina
this might result in political combin
ations between county commission
ers and prosecuting attorneys.
King County Was Selfish
Senator oJseph Arrasmith took tn
floor and spoke earnestly in favor o
Whitman county being allowed to d
what they wanted to in regard to at
torney. AS Senator Arrasmith speak
but rarely his address was listene
TO with much interest. He said h
had voted with the King count
crowd to allow them to make the sa
airy of their attorney $4,000 yea
instead of $4,000 a year, and no.
when Whitman county wanted
similar courtesy 1t was not fortheou
ing. Senator Piper protested that h
had sustained the Whitman count
senator in the contention and wishe
to emphasize the fact that he ha
stood by the great Palouse countr,
Senator Rosenhaupt attempted I
add a section raising the salaries {
superior court judges, and this DIT,
cipitated a strong debate in whic
the bench was both assailed and d,
Tended. There was no result, how
