(Cle Elum Echo.)

When the proposed amendment to
the constitution placing the judiciary
on the recall list was before the house,
Representative Brown, of this county,
read the record of two years ago to
show that some of the members who
were this year actively against the
proposition were voting for it two
years ago. Representative Sims is one
of the men who felt called upon to ex-
plain his change of attitude ana he did
it with the statement that two years
ago the crowd he was combining with
needed few more votes to help out In
certain legislation. The explanation
is clear enough to convince those who
have followed the argument that the
pork barrel sometimes profits at the
expense of principle. If Representa-
tive Sims had been in need of certain
votes this year, he might have again
subordinated his convictions-and that
is pretty expensive trading.

DEATH OF A PIONEER
George W. Ruticdgc Came to Little
Roc. In fS5a--Dicd February II.

As stated in the STANDARD last week,
George Washington Rutledge, an old
tine resident and pioneer of Little
Rock, Thurston county. died near Oak
Vile Chehalls county, February II.
The following account of Mr.. Rut-
ledse's life was written for the
STANDARD by A. Anderson of Shelton,
Wash. but reached us too late for use
last week. Concerning the pioneer Mr..
Anderson said:
"Mr. Rutledge was born in Ohio,
June 3, 1927, and hence had passed the
four-score milestone of life's pilgrim
age and had made one-fourth of the
fifth score when disease cut short the
promised century. Mr.. Rutledge with
his parents moved at the age Of IA into
Posey county, Indiana, where he met
and at the age of % years married
Miss Phoebe Cleveland, woman of
deep sympathies and unusual sweet
ness of temper.
"To this union 10 children were
born, nine girls and four boys, four of
whom are dead and nine now living:
Margaret A. Eshom, Nancy A. Shot
well, Kate Baker, Martha E. Israel,
James M. Rutledge, Elsie Seargent,
Nellie Bradley, George G. Rutledge
and Myrtle Sullivan.
From Indiana Mr. Rutledge moved
to Illinois and in 1859 from Illinois to
the territory of Washington by way
of the Isthmus of Panama, reaching
Olympia February 20, 1859. He bought
out the claim of a Mr.. Quinn near Lit
tie Rock, where he made his perma
nent home and where most of his chill
dren were born ard raised.
"Mr. Rutledge was Methodist and
a staunch and lifelong Democrat in
politics, taking always lively inter-
est in both religion and politics not
for what there was in it for him but
what he thought there was in it for
others.
"a man of unceasing industry, Of
tough and wiry constitution, he had a
comfortable home where old time hos
pitality was in evidence and good
cheer provided. An unusually kind
parent and accommodating neighbor, q
warm friend and obliging companion,
cheerful, undaunted and courageous,
he contributed his share to the open
ing up of the empire of the great
Northwest unostentatiously but none
the less effectually. The work Of the
pioneer Is his lasting monument"

4 ia call to your attention the fact that
lie valuation of the property Of the
state of Washington has not materially
increased during the past two years,
while the demands for appropriations
tor The five educational institutions Of
the state have increased almost so per
cent. Should the same proportionate
increase be called for by the other de-
partments of the state the legislature
would indeed be facing a serious sit
uation.
MY views regarding this subject
live been well known to all members
Ct the legislature since | assumed the
duties of my Office While it has been
under consideration by your honora-
bic body this department has made no
effort whatever to change the opinion
OF a single member of the legislature
or influence his or her vote on the sub
iect.
The responsibility is now upon
your shoulders. In the further con-
sideration by your honorable body of
this bill, | sincerely hope that each
end every member will consider it
strictly upon its merits and the mat
ter of influence, or trade of votes, will
not enter into it's consideration.
Il regret exceedingly that my judy
ment in this matter does not coincide
with the views of the legislature; yet
entertaining these objections to the
bill l feel it my duty to disapprove
it and return it to your honorable
body for such action as you may deem
advisable"

VETOES CHENEY FUND

Normal schools. In Expected Action.

Promptly vetoing the 100000 an
preparation for the Cheney normal
school. as expected, Governor Lister
placed the further responsibility for
such an appropriation upon the legis
lature, expressing the hope that the
trading of votes would not enter into
its reconsideration. In his message
vetoing tine bill he said
ITO the Honorable, the House of Rep
resentatives of the Thirteenth Leg
islature of the State of Washington:
Il herewith return house bill No

message to your honorable body | in
Dictated the view held by me regarding
the continuance of three normal
schools by the state. During the time
this bill was before your honorable
body. and also since its passage, advo-
Gates both in favor of and opposed to
the measure have been given an OPP
portunity to be heard. With all the
additional information received l still
hold the views expressed in my mes
sage.
1.-THE appropriations required for
the re-establishment of the Cheney
normal school, in addition to the $780,
600 appropriated by this bill, would
amount to approximately 100000
more during the two years beginning
April 1, 1913 This would make total
Of q half million dollars the taxpayers
Of the state would be called upon to
expend for this institution during the
coming biennium.
Following the lines suggested in
my message the expenditure of a
small part of this sum in more COM
pletely equipping one of the other two
normal schools would, in my opinion,
result in much higher degree of eff
6ciency In training teachers than can
be obtained by the continuation of
three Normal schools along the lines
now being followed. The appropria-
tons for the five state educational in
stitions are constantly increasing; two
years ago the amount appropriated for
these institutions was approximately
s1.70o,000 AID the requests made for
ne coming hiennium amount to al

IT ACTS LIKE MAGIC.
Use Of Manure Spreader Has a Won
derfuI Effect Upon Fertility.

saw today a man pitching into
manure spreader stable manure from
large pile in the field where it had lain
until it was partially rotted and where
1t had been stirred several times with
forks. l was interested, says a writer
in Green Fruit Grower, and waited for
the man to load his wheeled spreader
drawn by two horses and saw him pass
up and down through the field several
times. This manure spreading machine
is modern device.
1t spreads the manure more evenly
than any man can do the work, no
matter how careful or experienced he
may be. There was scarcely an inch of
soil on the field that was not covered
with a slight spread Of manure. the
machine covering about eight feet in
width each time it crossed the field.
But it would seem impossible that
such a slight covering of manure
should have, as it does, such marvellous
effect upon the soil. This fertilizer
really acts like magic. It is not alone
the fertility which the manure con-
tains which benefits the land. The ma
nure helps us to set at work bacteria in
the soil, thus in q measure inoculates
the soil with helpful creatures that
continue their work. Further than this.
the manure tends to loosen the soil and
to make it crumble easily under the
plow and harrow.
The successful farmer Of the past has
made the accumulation. protection and
application Of stable manure special
study. The poor. improvident farmer
allows half the value Of his stable ma
nure to waste by heating or by being
leached by heavy storms. as may be
seen by the colored streams Of water
running away from his barnyard.

A bill has been introduced in the leg

ton of the state senate, vesting the en-
tire legislative power of the common
membership. The bill has absolutely
no chance of passing, but it is one of
the most meritorious measures intro
duced at the present session. Our sys-
TEN of dual legislature, both state
and national, is cumbersome and tends
to put all legislation on bartering
