WEBB'S FRIENDS WORK
TO SEAT Mr.. CLAYTON
Anxious He Be Made Senator
So Former May Head
Judiciary Committee.

Inasmuch as the fortunes Of two MEM
bers of the House depend in u measure
upon the action of the Senate regarding
the seat in that body to which Repre-
sentative Clayton has been appointed by
the Governor Of Alabama. the House of
Representatives has double interest in
the coming decision of the Senate in the
Clayton matter. OF course Representa-
tive Clayton is most concerned. but sec
ond to his concern is that of Representa-
tive Webb Of North Carolina. who would
be the logical successor to. the chair
manship Of the House judiciary commit
tee.
That is no inconsequential Office. 1t is
one of the very largest within the gift OF
the House. and the chairman is at times
able to swing tremendous national power
Under the present administration Of the
House, where q larger proportion than
usual Of references are made to this big
committee, the craftsmanship is of un-
usual Importance.

URGES SUITABLE HOME
FOR JUVENILE COURT
John Joy Edison Believes 'r'-

acter of Conference.

\ suitable building for the JuNehile
Court is advocated by John Joy Edsoh'
president of the Washington Loan anu
Trust Company and one of those mos.
interested in the advancement OF TINS
phase of municipal life Mr.. Edison De-
Iieves that the courtroom to which chill
dren are brought should not be on inn
pressiye lines in criminal and other
courts but rather should take on
more of the appearance of conference
room where the parties involved could
gather on a more informal basis and dis
cuss their troubles.
THE Juvenile Court is entirely unlike
other courts" said Mr.. Edison yesterday
In it different methods are employed
and different rules are followed than
those employed in other courts The
plan and arrangement of the building
should be carefully studied cut to meet
the practical requirements of this new
court 1t should have conference rooms
of character neither too stately nor
too impressive. OF course, in cases of
adults such as non-support, this would
not apply.'

WOULD ENTER PAY CORPS.
More Than Seventy Enlisted Men
in Navy Seek Examination.

Between seventy and eighty enlisted
men of the navy have filed requests to
take the examination for the Naval Pay
Corps. which is to be held in October.
Judging by the rate that the applica-
tons are coming to the department, the
lumber of candidates from the enlisted
men will run up into the hundreds. 1t
would not be surprising If 800 to GOO en-
listed men took examination. The va
cancies filled from the enlisted force
would be those created by the increase
OF the Pay Corps authorized by the last
appropriation bill.
Besides these vacancies there are three
sistant Paymaster Arthur Middleton. the
death Of Pay Director r.. T. M. Ball and
the retirement of Pay Director L. c.
Kerr, after thirty-three years service.
1t has not yet been decided how these
vacancies may be filed.

PACIFIC COUNTY LEADS In ROAD
WORK.

Pacific county is, SO far as we know,
the first county in the state Of Wash
ington, or even is the first of any
county west of the Missouri river, to
install a complete highway patrol sys-
tenn for the maintenance of roads.
Realizing that this lack of care made
heavy burdens on the taxpayers, the
county commissioners of Pacific
county, on the advice of their county
engineer, M. e. Halverson, obtained
the services of an expert with an en-
viable record. This expert is S. P.
Davis, who has been the chief expon-
ent of the ues of the King Road Drag
in Western Washington for some years.
Mr.. Davis entered upon his duties
in February last, and since that time
has been conducting a vigorous cam
paign.
The King Drag is prominent fac
tor in this work. In fact this simple
ingenious device is the foundation of
the system. In order to get perma-
nent results department of mainte-
nance was created by the county en-
gineer. simple filing system was in

tricts. This does not require addi
tional office help, but segregates the
expense of maintenance from those
of construction and will in time show
exactly the relative cost of each de-
partment.
Mr.. Davis in addressing a meeting
of road supervisors recently said,
''The two greatest enemies of good
roads are water that stands on the
road and politics. A proper patrol
system eliminats both, and you have
at less cost better roads
w. J. Roberts, highway commlss-
Toner, under date of July 18th, after
seeing the work done in Pacific
