The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-06-22

+ Not every one in Colville knows
Ftht the old precinct of Colville
is now divided into three full vot-
ing units, known as Colville pre-
cinct Mol, Colville precinct No.
2, and Colville precinct No. 3.
The city wards with correspond
ing numbers were created two
years ago, and the division of the
precinct corresponds with the
ward lines run to the outer lines
of the country precinct bound
aries. This description may not
be so easily understood as it
should be, but the anxious in
quirer may fill himself with sat
isfactory information on these
points by inquiry of the county
engineer, the county auditor, the
city mayor and many others.
But this is not all. The law
provides each election precinct in
whole or in part in an incorporat-
ed city or town shall be entitled to
two justices of the peace and as
many constables. Here we find
that in Colville precinct we are
entitled to six justices and six
constables. Also, in each and
every precinct in whole or in part
within the corporate limits of any
incorporated city or town, there
shall be appointed by the board
of county commissioners regis
trar of voters living with such
corporate limits entitled to vote
in such precinct; and there must
also be registration officer ap-
pointed in each precinct to regis
ter the voters living within such
corporate limits; and, each regis
tration officer must be a resident
and hold his office and perform
his duties within the precinct for
which he is appointed.
In forming the new precincts
the board of county commission
ers overlook the foregoing ment-
ioned features, and we find that
George Burdsal, who lives in Col
vile precinct No.2, is holding
office in Colville precinct No. l,
and performing the duties of
three registration clerks for the
entire city. A. l.. Knapp as
county registration CLERK resides
in Colville precinct No. l, and
holds his Office in the same baili-
wick, but is making registration
of voters for all the country por-
tions of all three precincts.
No one should object to the
registration made in good faith,
but some one will if it does not
happen to meet the absolute re-
quirements of the law Of the
land. If Colville precinct No. 2
would roll up a good old repub-
lican majority of $50 votes,
enough, perhaps, to change the
result in the county at the gen.
eral election, and some designing
democrat would discover that no
votes were registered in said pre-
cinct, then there would be some
thing doing. Or, possibly, a
democratic landslide would oc-
cur in Colville precinct No. 3,
and the republicans would seek
to wipe out the majority of the
unterrifed by showing in a con-
test that all the voters registered
in Colville precinct No. /. This
being the case the court could
hold that precinct No. 3 had no
legally qualified election registra-
ton clerk, because the appointee
lived in No. 2 and held his Office
in No. l; and No. 2 would have
no legally registered voters be-
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-06-22

cause they went over into No. l
and registered, etc.
So far as the justices of the
peace and constables are con-
cerned, one igood man in each
place can serve the community,
but with the registration of
voters it is far different, and an
error might be made so grevious
in its character that it might up
set the verdict of the people in a
most distressing way.
What is true of Colville could
be true of other communities
similarly situated, and no time
should be allowed to run before
ample correction be made.
Emma Goldman, the anarchist
of international fame, spoke at
the opera house Tuesday night
to a small audience. her fame as
a platform speaker evidently not
appealing to the Colville people
at Csc per seat. If she had
charged a dollar. more people
might have been present.
Her address was on "Anar-
chism, the solution of the eco
nomic and labor problem, and
it was worth hearing.
Anarchism advocates the right
of the individual to receive the
full product of his labor. but op-
poses socialism in the statement
that this condition can only come
through education and direct
action. and not by political ac-
ton. Direct action" means a
gradual demand of more of the
product of labor, or a refusal to
produce.
Miss Goldman vehemently de-
nounces violence, saying that
the laboring man has no need to
use violence. He can quit work
without violence, but the capi-
talist uses the violence to make
him resume work.
She shows that if the average
man works two hours and twen-
ty minutes a day for Is years, he
produces enough to keep him
from the time of birth to death,
and were it not for the special
privileges which allow capital
ism to take away the greater
part of the products of a laborer,
he would have more time. more
products, and a better life. Soc
iety builds asylums. poorhouses,
prisons, warehouses;, reformator-
les, etc, to hold the social refuse
which is cast aside by our pres
ent privileged system. 1t shows
that the system which requires
these hospitals is wrong. So
ciety should be built up equally,
and not in a one-sided manner as
at present, when the privileged
classes crowd out the downtrod-
den ones.

1t is rumored that Henry
Spedden has his eye on the re-
publican county Craftsmanship.
Henry is nice pleasant fellow,
but not the right caliber for
chairman. Let him stick to his
real estate and abstract business.
That's good"
The above from the Humding-
er, Taft's Stevens county Official
organ, ought to hold Henry for a
ile-but it probably won't.
You know that Henry wasn't
considered (by some Of them)
as of the right caliber to take the
lead in the county's republican
game this SPRING but he did.
And the way he opened the eyes
of the old guard wasn't at all
slow.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-06-22


believes his time should be spent.
With the Roosevelt documents
that Taft has not even used
common honesty in securing
delegates, and with the Taft
documents that Roosevelt has
paid as high as $1,000 each to get
southern delegates away from
Taft it looks as if the whole
republican fabric were being ex-
posed for an amazed public to
view.
According to government plats,
there are 500 quarter sections
open to entry in Stevens and
Pend Oreille counties. Of this
land. much is unsurveyed, and
none will come under the 3-year
homestead act, inasmuch as the
land is either too heavily timber
ed for the required amount of
clearing to be done in three
years, or else it is too broken
for the requisite cultivation.
Doubtless great many peo-
pie have wondered what the
Champ" stand for or is in the
name of the present Speaker of
the House and leading Demo-
cratic candidate for the presi-
dency.
The usual reference books give
no light on the question. Is it a
real name. a nickname, a conven-
lent abbreviation of an incon-
veniently long name?
The Speaker of the House was
christened James Beauchamp"
Clark. In early life he was
known as James B" and 81. B."
Clark. But the changes of res
idence resulting from going to
college, teaching school, gradual
ing from another college, acting
as president of a third college,
going to law school and trying
to work up a law practice in Kan
sas before he finally settled in
Missouri, all between 1870 and
1875, complicated his postal sta
tus considerably.
In every one Of the five or six
towns he lived in during these
five or six years there seemed to
to be five or six other y. B."
Clarks, who got his letters and
sent them back or didn't send
them on. The results were pro-
vocative of thoughts and words
likely to impair young Mr.. Clark's
standing as a church member.
So he tried looping off the
James" and calling himself
"Beauchamp" Clark. The re-
suits were not atis f ctory.
Around where Mr.. Clark was
in Kentucky they probably knew
that the correct pronunciation of
that good old Anglo-Norman
name is "Beecham." Eviden-
tly they did not know in Pike
county, Missouri. AS Mr.. Clark
says:
My friends insisted on pronouncing it
"Bo-champ". or abbreviated it to .'Bo. !"
thought would save them trouble by
abbreviating it myself and began to
write it "Champ" Clark. 1t has been
good asset. IT. is short enough to be
usually printed in full. Look at any list

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

Science on the Alcohol Question
 CD The conviction is rapidly growing that in order to continue the work of the Temperance Revolution" now in progress in our country until every state has adopted prohibition and what is of no less importance to hold the ground already won against par alyzing reaction a vast amount of systematic educational work must be done, and that of a fun damental nature, particularly along scientific lines.
 The basic principle of the tenn, perance reform is involved in the nature of alcohol.
 That it is not a food, but poi son is now a settled fact of sci ence known to many people, but it's proper classification among the poisons is not so well under. stood. If it be simply affirmed that alcohol is a poison some ig. norant critic will at once reply that there are poisons in every thing-bread, meat, milk and water.
 To this the skilled retort should be; People do not eat and drink for the sake of the poisons in them. All hygienic rules re- quire that poisons be eliminated from foods as far as possible.
 On the other hand men drink liquors for the sake of the one poison in them all-that is alco- hOl.
 When that is eliminated they will not drink what is left.
 The place of alcohol among the poisons is therefore fundamen- tally important as throwing light upon what is the essential prop erty of all liquors.

Seed Testing For Missouri Farmers.
A seed testing laboratory for the
benefit of Missouri farmers and
seedsmen is being operated at the
Agricultural College at Columbia in
cooperation with the US. Depart
ment of Agriculture The tests of
seeds are made free of charge and
it is to the advantage of both farm
ers and seedsmen to make use of
this opportunity of having seeds
tested.
There is a considerable number
of pernicious weeds being distribut-
ed over the state in various kinds
of grasses and clovers and some of
these are very troublesome pests.
The increase of dodder in clover
seed samples in Missouri during the
last few years is alarming. Great
numbers of clover fields are infest-
ed with this plant and it is one of
the most dangerous pests with
which farmers have to deal. The
danger from dodder alone should be
sufficient to warrant men having
all the clover seeds tested which
they use upon their farms.
Seed for tests should be sent in
care of the Seed Testing Laboratory
Columbia. Missouri. For small
seeds like grasses and clovers a
tablespoonful is sufficient; for large
seeds, such as wheat. oats, ETC.,
three or four tablespoonfuls should
be submitted. These samples
should bear the name and address
of the sender and a letter should
accompany them stating whether a
purity is wanted or whether the
seed is to be tesred for both purity
and termination. Where a purity
test is desired, report can usually
be returned within a week. Where
a termination test is desired, il
takes a few days longer Certain
of the grass seeds, like bluegrass
require approximately month fol
a germiuation test.
1t is to the interest of farmers t
know exactly the character of TIT
} seed they are sowing. This infor
nation is at the disposal of tn,
: formers of missouri, through thi
laboratory with no cost to them
t The idea in maintaining this labora
tory is to give both seedsmen ant
