The legislature soon to assemble
at Olympia will enjoy exceptional
opportunities for work OF a con-
structive character. Real leader
ship will be demanded. for some
of the problems pressing for solu-
ton in this state are alike difficult
and delicate.
Not the least important of the
questions to come before the leg
islature are political in character;
not narrowly political; not political
in any partisan sense; but broadly
political, and in dealing with these
problems the members of the leg
;slature should divest themselves
of any partisan bias and approach
them in a spirit of intelligent and
unselfish patriotism.
The election laws OF Washington
should be recast.
The primary law should be amend
ed and strengthened. 1t is not a
perfect law. The second choice pro-
vision Is confusing and unsatisfact-
ory. Some other plan for guarding
against the danger of nominations
by inconsequential minorities should
be written into the law. In theory
the law is all right, but in practice
1t has not worked as its friends ex-
pected it to work. But it will not
be difficult to strengthen the act
and make of it more thorough
measure.
Then, too, there is the question
of statewide registration. There
is no reason why we should have
registration in a few counties only;
what we want Is a responsible elect
crate, and that is what we must
have II we are to avoid the dangers
which are likely to grow out OF the
new policies we have adopted in
the initiative, the referendum and
the recall.
The legislature should recast the
rolitical machinery of the state;
no problem to come before the leg
stature will he of more vital inter-
est to the people of Washington
than the problem of working out
a more satisfactory and safer cleo
ton system, and legislators should
address themselves to the task with
Just regard for the Importance OF
the issue.-Seattle Observation-Disclosures

1t clear that nobody in the United
States knew as yet who Is going to
be in his cabinet, or what is to be
the program he will suggest for the

the 1908 total.
The Socialists got all that thu
other parties lost, and more. The!

short weighs and NIeasures

One of the desirable resultants OF
the pure food campaign, or, it may
be said to be consequent of the
great moral awakening that has been
in progress In recent years, is the
demand for correct weights and
measures in the sphere of trade,
This has now taken form in a de-
mand for national weights and
measuresIlaw. The people have been
fooled too long, with a pound having
only fourteen ounces and with
bushel and barrel measures no two
of which are alike save possibly in
the generous margin they provide
for everybody else except the poor
ultimate consumer.
In the case of barrels, for exam
pie, it is stated that when merchant
buys barrel of apples these days he
does not know exactly what he is
going to get for his money. Ono
man might sell him thousand ap-
pies for, say, lS2 and call that bar
rel, whereas another man might sell
him 1900 of the same sized apples
and call that barrelful. There is
at present no standard sized barrel
and dealers who wish are able to de-
ceive their customers and make
greater profits than their methods
deserve.
While many states have been de-
filming and prescribing weights and
measures, in many of them, West
Virginia, for example, the laws have
become dead letters, Advocates OF

clare that national scope is almost
necessary if any practical and last

The king was chosen from amona
the people by tho elders, ard he was
selected for his wisdom. The cere'
monies Of his enforcement were such
that he required not only wisdom, but
also courage, physical strength and
superb digestion. The mans first
intimation that he had been chosen b
the elders was al cnsuah of the entire
tribe-not to do him honor, but to
abuse and insult him In every possible
way.
They would hurl opprobious
~pithets at him, curse him. spit upor
him, relt him with mud and beat him.
For, they said, from this time ON he
could co all. these things to them and
they would be powerless to retaliate.
1t was their last chance!
They also reminded him Of all his
failinss in graphic and minute particu.
lars. If the king survived this treat.
ment, he was then taken to the for.
mer kings house, where he was
sclemnly invested with the insignia
of the kingly Office in the shape Of a
silk hat. No one except the king was
permitted to wear silk hat,

before the new king in humble sub.

not permitted to leave his house, but
had to receive guests from oil parts
