CURRENT COMMEN6

Will some one yersed in the political craft
of the state take the time and the patience
to explain, why the
Central Committee Craftsmanship of the
Made Mistake. Republican State Cen
tral Committee was put
in the extreme southwestern part Of the
state and in the possession Of man with
out political experience or state acquain-
tanceship. Mr. Rupp runs an insignificant
little daily paper that does not boast of
thousand subscribers and, so far as he is
concerned, it is safe to say that none OF the
state candidates even know him. If the
members of the State Central Committee
had have used horse sense they would have
waited until after the primary election and
consulted the wishes Of the candidates as
to the selection of a chairman Of the com
mittee To win the fight in this state it
will require united action on the part Of
all concerned and that too including the
Republican papers, but if the party is to be
domineered by Sam Perkins and few clacq-
uers in the interest Of one or two candi-
dates, then there is grave danger of the
whole ticket going down. Some one is
monkeying with the political buzz-saw and
it's a dangerous proceeding

That it would be an almost irreparable dis

Bob Hodge governor
Governor BleaSe is the consensus Of
Hodges Counterpart opinion of the men
and women Of the
state but should such a misfortune befall
her it would not be the first time a human
thing was elected to fill the highest office
in the gift Of one Of the states of this union,
for but recently, South Carolina reelected
a governor Of whom the Baltimore Sun, one
of the leading daily papers of the southeast,
has the following to say: The people of
the United States do not admire black
guards and ruffans and crooks, and there
is no reason to believe that the people of
South Carolina differ materially from those
of the rest of the country in this respect
vet Blease has been portrayed as black
guard ruffan and crook combined Ger
tainly he is a man of unbridled temper and
violent speech The coarseness of his
language on the stump in the present cam
paign of itself would have been sufficient
to bar him from any office Of Importance
in any community of which we have ac-
quamCance Yet he has received a larger
vote than his chief opponent, Judge Ira B.
Jones, who is represented as a man of char
acter, ability and refinement.

Fiftieth Anniversary. the slaves in the
United States, to be
held in Washington City from September
22nd to 26th, 1913, and those having charge
of the arrangements making prepara-

gatherings of the twentieth century Dr.
Booker T. Washington has been largely
responsible for the proposed celebration as
well as for the appropriation. To represent
the state of Washington at that celebration
Gov Myron b. Hay has appointed H. r.
Cayton, S. P. De Boe and A. R. Black of
Seattle Roger Watts and j H. Ryan of
Tacoma; F. A. Stokes of Spokane, and c.

Wonderful strides have been made by the
emancipated slaves in the fifty years that
have elapsed, and here and there in
the United States persons born in slavery
now fill positions of trust and honor not
only in political and in business circles
among themselves, but even in lines and

1t is so repulsive as well as ridiculous to
Americans for japanese to commit suicide
because of the death
Commits Suicide of their emperor that,
To Pay Obeisance. Americans look upon it
as a form of insanity.
In many ways the Japanese have made
wonderful strides in the white mans civil
ization, but they show depravity in this
respect that is simply blood-curdling. Had
Gen. Togo sold all of his belongings and
given it to the poor and then he and his
wife devoted the balance of their lives to
the uplift of the Japanese instead of to
war as he had been doing, he would have
shown much greater respect for his dead
emperor's memory However such is
well established custom among them and
it can not be overcome in a day. While
Americans do not exactly commit suicide
on account of the death of another, yet
frequently both men and women go sor-
death of one near and dear, as though that
would bring the departed back to life The
Americans custom to that extent is almost
as ridiculous as the Japaneses' and far
more painful. To be parted for life from
one you love is lamentally sad, but sac
rifcing yourself does not help or improve
the situation with either the dead or the
living.

Judge Black of Everett has been nominated
by the Democrats for governor of the state
of Washington and the
Democratic question has been raised,
80; : o. y pan Is he eligible? There is
no doubt but that he is
eligible as the statute says, "any one elect
ed to the supreme bench or any OF the
superior court benches of the state is IN
eligible to hold any other office in the state
during the time elected for the Judgeshlp.
Judge Black s superior court judgeship will
expire December 31st, 1912, and, if elected,
he will not be inaugurated governor until
some time in January 1t is therefore plain
to be seen that, he would IN no wise
be disabled on account Of his past judicial
OBLIGATIONS. But are not the friends as
we'll as the opponents taking Judge Blacks
candidacy entirely too serious? For there
is no more probability of him being elected
than there is of Theodore Roosevelt being
elected president of the United States De
mocrats in this state have always been OF
an over-zealous turn of mind, when it came
to wanting to be elected to an office and
that too without any foundation for It,

LaFollette Men at Work

Madison, Wis June 10.-~LaFollette leaders are getting down to work on the platform they will submit to the Chicago convention with menace of third party. The steering committee will meet here the latter part of this week It is now believed LaFoliette's s platform will demand unyielding en- forcement of the law and require ment of public and private honesty which shall recognize that "boodling Is treason" and that embezzlement is sedition. and that speculation is gambing." and that tax lodging Is larceny. and factory labor of children k serfdom. and that deleterious adul- teration is criminal,
 Other blanks will provide for an amendment to the constitution fixing the term of the President at six years and liking the incumbent forever in- eligible for other terms. Another plank would provide for abolishinE the federal patronage and requiring the selection and promotion of postal cm- ployes by merit alone.
 A strong corrupt practices act will be another plank and one that Is sure of incorporation. II will demand abo- lition of the commerce courts decisions.

ID SUE ID RECOVER
 OIL LANDS IN WEST

Washington, June 10.-Attorney General Wickersham soon will institute two suits for the recovery of thousands of acres of oil lands in the west, said to be worth millions of dollars.
 One suit will be against the Southern Pacific and allied companies for the title to 1200o acres in California which .he government values at s75o.ooo,oOo. In grant ing patents to the tracts including these lands the secretary of the interior stipu- lated. it is said. that mineral lands were excepted and reserved to the government. The contention is made that the govern ment has no right to make the conditional exception in the patents.
 The other suit will be to test the validity of entries upon lands withdrawn by the President because they were thought to contain oil, prior to the act of June 9. 1910. which affirmativeiy gave the President power to make such with drawals. Upon the result of this case re- ftrring to lands in Colorado and Wyom- ing will be determined the title to thous- ands of acres of lands in many western states

Importance of Amendment

The governor said he regarded tho constitutional amendment. question in Jefferson county one of great import ance, particularly inasmuch as the fee system obtains with greater profit to officials in that county than in any other in the state and is one of the recognized evils.
 It is practically certain that the ex- ecutive has not reached any definite decision regarding the exact date of the special session, though does ad- init that he thinks conditions will rem der one imperative.
 In his call the governor win incor- porate a large number of questions which he will recommend for consid- eratlon, many of which are now en- gazing much of the public attention But he does not want these questions considered until the proper time has arrived. until such time as the mem- bers of the legislature will be free to take them up in an unbiased and painstaking manner and in such way as will indicate that they are giving to the state their best thought and serv- ice.
