LADY OUT FOR STATE OFFICE

Mrs. Josephine Preston, superintend-
ent of schools of Walla Walla county,
paid brief but pleasant call at the
journal office Monday. And thereby
we are reminded that the days approach
when a political campaign shall be upon
us. Mrs. Preston has announced her
candidacy for the office of state superin-
tendent of schools, the office now filled
by Mr.. Dewey. The incumbent, 1t is
understood, will not be candidate for
reelection and Mrs. Preston is one of
the first in the field for the position.
The lady feels that the educational field
should appeal particularly to women
women who believe our school system
should not be the political football of
party machines or scheming politicians.
Mrs. Preston promises, if elected, to keep
the affairs of her office as nearly di-
vorced as possible from partisan in
fluences. Business, declared Mrs. Pres
ton, and not politics, called her to the
west side and the day was spent here
principally among her friends and
acquaintances. Mrs. Preston was not
averse, however, to meeting new faces
and speaking of her political aspirations
She made many friends who will un-
doubtedly be of aid to her in the strenu-
ous campaign ahead.

Plumbers License Law.

The efforts of the plumbers to enact
a plumbers license law met with defeat,
largely on account of that old decision
of the supreme court that is so sweeping
a denunciation of legislation of this
character that it is almost impossible to
overcome This decision, together with
the ever ready cry of a plumbing trust,
sent the measure to indefinite postpone
ment in the house one morning before
its friends could rally to its rescue.

LEAGUE GROWING IN INFLU
ENCE.

Monday evenings session of the Won
ems Label League set a new pace fol
enthusiasm and earnestness of purpose
There was a spirit of determination evi-
dent, a desire to accomplish something
worth while, willingness to work that
was inspiring. If our people who i'm
agine the league meetings are purely
social could have attended the last one
they would have had those erroneous
impressions removed. While the league
is a prime factor in promoting sociabil-
ity, the great end to be attained is the
betterment of social conditions. That is
never lost sight of.
Every Wednesday afternoon grouE
of the women workers meet and in
formally outline future work and dis
cuss details. Then at the regular meet
ings the plans formed by the women il
an advisory way are submitted to the
membership and gone into more fully
The wisdom of these afternoon meeting,
is plainly apparent in the awakened
interest among the membership.
Each one is asked what he or she has
done during the week to promote tn,
work of the league The replies are or
iginal and sometimes startling If somt
of the female clerks in this city whc
think more of dance or 1t picture SHOW
than they do of a paid union care
