while irving cases. One VIGOROUSLY drunk must be

talks. If then Judge Gay was notoriousy drunk he
must have staggered he went to the bench and un-
less Mr. Gill can establish that fact beyond reason
able doubt then his charges fall fiat. Because the
aroma of ones breath smell strongly of the juice of the
forbidden fruit is no proof whatever that he she is
drunk because to be drunk the absence of good

vate but even in public and if all of them, who do
should be dsbared there would be darn few lawyers
and Judges in Washington But for such accusation
to come from H. c. Gill is ridiculous that 1t is act
uallv sv Gill has made accusations aginst prominent
men before and frequently has he done so that ne
might be termed something of a character assassin

letter has been put in circular form and sent broad
cast over the county, which advocates the improve
ment of the Lake Washington Canal and the Duwam-
ish Waterway. Now let Sam Johnsing or Eph Hamtat
get some body to write for them long letter full OF
big words and after signing their names to the same
send them to some body that is able to have them put
in circular letter forms and mailed to the voters with
the view of influencing them to vote for the construc-
ton of the Lake Washington Canal and the DuWamsh
Waterway improvements and there is no reason TO De-
eve but that such letters coming as they will from
such we'll known foot light four iushers, would not IN

Seattete one day this week. If that be true then 1t
begins to look as if COL Alden J. Bethen has got to
