WOMAN ON THE JOB.
Assumes Position at Tacoma Today
as Bakery Inspector.

TACOMA, Wn., Aug. 15.-After gain
ing for Tacoma the soubriquet of
"spotless town." through her activities
as food and market inspector, Miss
Arizona B. Wimple, a graduate Of the
University of Michigan, today assumed
the office of state bakery and sanitary
inspector to which she was appointed
by Governor Lister in the hope that
she would attain the same deg1r OF
success in the state as she did in
Tacoma. Publicity was the weapon that
so materially aided Miss Wimple in
bringing about radical reforms in Ia
coma. During her two years of scrvic..
in Tacoma Miss Wimple was greatly
aided by the newspapers which pub
lished details of her reports. Store
and establishments which wers not
up to the mark in these reports found
their business dwindling and were
forced to meet every requirement.

The various measures directed

The biggest question to be consider

ity. The governor called the legisla-
ture in extra session to pass pri-
mary bill. Under the constitution OF
most states and of New York, the only
thing to be considered was the
primary bill. The entire work of the
Frawley committee is unconstitution-

Murphy will insist on prosecuting the

THE NEW YORK IMBROGLIO.

THE NEW YORK IMBROGLIO.
According to the reports current in
Albany Tuesday and published in the
Star Mirror, Mrs. Sulzer, the wife OF
the governor, has declared that it was
she who gambled away the campaign
contributions Moreover, she declares
that the governor knew nothing
about it.
The story looks improbable, but
suppose it true, what does it mean?
Simply that woman who is likely
had the usual experience of polite
ian's wife, making one dollar do the
work of two has tried to better her
self by bucking Wall street. She lost
of course, and these transactions have
been used by Wall street and Tam
many to down their common foe, Gov
ernor Sulzer.
For, as the Portland Oregonian Just
ly observes, it is scarcely possible
that man of Suffers long expert
ence in politics would make so fatal
a political mistake. Surely in his
eighteen years of service in congress
and previous experience in state pol
itics, he would have learned enough
to let Wall street alone. Governor
Sulzer is not of the Star-Mirror kind |
of politics, but he has at least ordin- |
airy common sense.
But the governor is impeached and |
it looks very much as if Murphy was
going to make good his threat of hav-
ing the governor out of office in six

they are determined to have. Sui
