With his usual perspicacity the Kur-
mel has discovered that President-elect
Wilson is plain chump who writes
beautiful, meaningless phrases and
hasn't a constructive idea in his whole
carcass. It's awful, isn't It? About
every man and woman in the country,
big or little, from Abigail to Zacha-
riah, has been weighed in the Kurnel's
little mental balance and found Woe

be up against 1t If some one would get

The legislature will meet next Tues
day and probably food of bills, good
bad and Indifferent, will be introduced
it is too bad they could not be turned
ever to a sorting committee and the
bad eliminated, so the Legislators
could devote their time to real needed
legislation.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
CENTR AUTHORITY.

The essence of modern business is
efficient organization. In this central
ization of authority is the prime ne
cessity; consequently when Governor
Ernest Lister recommends the aboli-
ton of two boards, placing their du-
ties under constitutional state depart
ments, and the consolidation Of five
others into one, he is following the
chief business maxim of the day.
In another prominent way he dis
played this same business policy.
There are certain institutions, certain
departments, which must be maintain
ed. The wise business man cares for
the necessities of his business first
be styled luxuries. Governor Lister
suggests the application of this prin-
ciple to the states business, in that
most important matter, appropria-
lions.
Mentioned thus briefly, we can see
that Governor Lister proposes, with
the Aid Of the present legislature, to
carry out his prediction pledges Of
honesty, ef1ciency and economy in the
state government. Of applying to 1t
the principles that govern modern
business, of consolidating and central.

(Reardan Gazette.)
Next Wednesday when Governor
elect Ernest Lister assumes the reins
Of government in this state 1t will be
under somewhat peculiar circumstan-
ces, but none the less gratifying to his
friends and supporters. Washington
has been recognized as a Republican
stronghold, but In the recent general
election the Progressive party won
magnificent victory so far as the ma
tional ticket is concerned, but in the
face of these facts, Mr.. Lister was
chosen to be the chief executive of the
state for the next two years. He is
therefore under no special obligations
to even his own political party for IA
vors, but goes into Office less bound
perhaps than have any of his prede-
cessors on being inaugurated into the
governors office. Z
