Our Home Grafters.
(Skagit Co. Times.)
The other day when Congressman
Albert Johnson voted to continue the
twenty cents mile graft to congress-
men who journey between their
homes and the national capital, he
demonstrated why he became Re-
publican and about his only reason
for seeking Office. In voting as he
did he violate neither tenet nor prin-
ciple of his party, and produced prac-
teal proof of his thorough CONVEX
sion. He possesses all the requisites
for success along the line of grating
"a glib tongue and an open hand,
and should inspire the confidence he
deserves among those of his party
who vote for men for no other reason
or purpose than that they can talk
the loudest and longest and always
reach for more. To prove that our
contention, that SO far as principle or
Republican purpose under favorable
circumstances are concerned, are
identical, we call attention to the
fact that J. A. Falconer, Bull Moose
and gentleman of immaculate pOlltl-
cal conception, also voted for the
same graft that Mr.. Johnson did. OF
course Bill Humphrey stuck close to
his usual self-service, about the only
kind he ever went to congress to rem
der, and voted for it. Congressman
La Toilette, whose only excuse for
being a member is that his neighbors
at home desired to be rid of him for
awhile, voted for the continuance OF
the graft, too.

something near half million dollars,

powers exercised by the rules COM

MOVES HOUSE TO DIE HAPPY

ohifts Il From Vermont e Massaehu.
ostts, Where Il Formerly Was.
Pittsield. Mass. - Eleazer Larabee
hes moved his house from Vermont
into Massachusetts because he was
born In Massachusetts and wants to
die in the old Bay State.
When he built home in Williams
town he supposed that he was In the
state. Then government surveyors
came along and changed the state
boundary after he had paid taxes 10
Massac husetts for several years. Lara
bee then Ind new cellar dug over In
Massachusetts and moved his resi-
dence into the Bay State. The change
cost him 5000.

should bring the blush Of shame to
the cheeks of-thsse men. but they are
all out asking your votes for re-elec-
ton. Each gets $500 salary a
wear. in addition to many privileges
and "emoIuments," which mean big
ger salaries than are paid any officer
in this state, and 1t is believed that
many congressman make many times
their salary in brides received from
the special interests which they favor.

Using Newspaper Publicity.
(Withrow Banner.)

The 'Stop-Look-Listen League"
has been organized in this state for
the purpose of carrying on a cam
paign of education to spread informa-
ton concerning the proposed initia-
tive laws. Regardless OF what the
views Of this league may be on any
or all of the proposed laws. its meth
cd of disseminating information ID to
be commended, and is in sharp con-
trast with the methods of some other
organizations that will take hand in
Washington's political affairs this
year. 1t will place its arguments be-
fore the people through the news
papers, where it will appeal to the in
telligence of the voters, instead of
hiring q bunch Of hot air manipula-
tors to appeal to prejudice and pas
sion. Its campaign will be managed
by citizens of the state who must live
under it's laws. and not by outsiders.
The money that 1t must necessarily
spend for placing it's arguments be-
fore the people will be paid to people
who are working in the interest and
for the upbuilding of the state, and
who will be here long after the i'm
ported reformers have gone to other
states to spend the money they collect
in Washington.

A Suggestion as to the Initiative.
(Camas Post.)

A Suggestion as to the Initiative.
(Camas Post.)
In the last several legislative ses-
sions half dozen men absolutely die
tated what legislation should be con-
sidered, and so it has occurred that
measures the people have demanded
were found in the "scrap heap" at
the end of the session, without having
been considered" at all by the legis-
lature. The worm has turned" and
we have the initiative, whose use
should be limited to emergency and
not to general legislation. The pen
dulum will now undoubtedly swing to
the extreme, but all this could have
been avoided by reasonable and fair
use Of its powers by the committee
on rules. The Post believes it would
be the part Of wisdom to defeat these
measures, or better still. refuse to

BURY THIS LAW DEEP.

SENATOR MALOY says that the
one-year declaration law for voters,
whose repeal he proposes, has outlived
its usefulness. 1t never had any use
fitness.
At one time it may have delayed
the registration of migratory colored
voters in few localities, and it per-
haps operates at present to disfran-
chise some Government employees who
live in the Maryland counties adjacent
to Washington. But, according to
common report, thousands of Demo-
Gratis coming into or going out of the
State have become so embittered by
the nonsense of having to make for
NAL declaration in a courthouse one
year in advance in order to win or
preserve their right of suffrage that
they refuse to register at all. For
any party to stand sponsor for such a
law cannot be, in the long run, useful
to itself or the State.
With the Democrats in an over
whelming majority in Maryland, they
have not even the argument of eXped-
iency to advance in favor of retaining
archaic election methods. 1t was open
ly confessed when this law was passed
that it was inspired by zeal for party
rather than for the State. Now that
the same reason is given for doing
away with it, let it my all means go.
