county devotedly and with integrity
as legislator at Olympia two years
ago. He is entitled to your vote
Give 1t to him.
There is no official public posi-
ton more important than that of
representative to the state legisla-
ture. 1t is in the legislature that
work either for good or evil is
wrought, No man should be Sc
lected to fill this office who Is not
thoroughly reliable and capable. and
who has not an earnest desire to
reduce the high rate of taxation
with which our people are at pres
ent so overburdened.
The future of the state depends
to large extent upon the char
acter of our legislative servants.
They should be chosen with great
est care. They have great chance
for rendering efficient service for
the people and it should be their
duty first to labor necessarily for
the reduction of the prevalent high
tax rate. 1t Is not necessary to pass
a vast number of new laws, there
are plenty laws upon the statute
books now, and many are. unReces-

Only men of undoubted business

winter with the sole object of
discharging their duties to the en-
tire satisfaction of their constituents
And above all, each legislator should
be placed on record unqualifiedly
committed to the economic e"pendi-
ture of public funds.
Our last legislative session was

PROCRESSlYES GAIN
26 PER CENT.

Although official returns from
the recent primary election will not
be made public for some time yet, q
sufficient amount of figuring has
been done already by candidates and
others to give one an idea as to the
relative vote of the progressive and
republican parties. AS compared
with the primary vote of two years
ago, the progressives showed an in
crease, while the republican vote
showed a decrease.
Had there been more contests
for places in the progressive ranks
and had there been a secret ballot
whereby the voters in the employ
of certain corporations would not
have had to show their hand. the
progressives would have polled a 25
percent larger vote than did
the republicans. When the an
nouncement was made that the pro-
gressives did not expect to poll as
large vote as the republicans, not
giving any reasons therefor, some
Of the republicans grabbed at the
statements with the hopes of making
some easy money by betting that
the republicans would poll twice as
many votes as the progressives, and
they lost every dollar bet. The
returns show that the prOgressives
are stronger. better organized and
more determined than two years a
go to destroy utterly the old gang.
1t is hardly fair to the republi-
cans to take the vote cast for Sena-
tor Jones as the total republican
vote.
Many of the saw mills In the coun.
ty closed down earlier than usual
on primary day, something which
has not occurred before, in order
to compel their employees to go in
the republican primaries. If the
men had asked for progressive or
democratic ballots, their employers
would have known and would prob
ably have fired them. The republi-
cans will poll 1000 more votes at
the general election than at the
primaries and not a single man on
their ticket will be elected this fall.
This is a progressive year.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE kaisers young
est son, Prince Joachim, who was 23
years old last December, will finally leave
the NEST" next summer. He Is at
tached to hussar regiment stationed at
Cassel. near Wilhelmshohe, the ancient
uessian capital where Napoleon III was
confined as prisoner after Sedan. A new
home is being fitted UP for the prince
In one OF the old semi French chateauX
and here Prince Joachim will In fu-
ture have r. bachelor court OF his
own.
Rumor declares that no Is copstitu-
tionally not too strong and it seems to
be believed that the empress chose Cassel
for him because OF its healthful char
acter und because the palace at VII
helmshohe, where she usually spends most
OF August and part OF September, Is only
Il few miles distant
In character and in features OF face,
Prince Joachim closely resembles the
crown prince. a Berlin rumor that the
fitting up OF the Cassel home was preced-
ent to a forthcoming marriage Is de-
MED in authoritative circles
II was formerly suggested that Prince
Joachim might be the future Prince Con-
sort of Luxembourg. Grand Duchess Marie
being four years younger than he. But
this plan. II It was ever seriously con-
sldered. was knocked on the head by the
pronounced Francophile movement In the
Grand Duchy, which made an alliance
with the house OF Hohenzollern ''dlplo-
matlcally undesirable as the phrase
goes.
Last summer gossip In Cairo credited
Prince Joachim with having lost his
heart to an American girl. Miss Olive
Huntington. whom he met while touring
In Egypt, IL is true that the prince, who
shares his eldest brothers taste for witty
and pretty American girls. showed pro-
nounced liking for the company of Miss
Huntington, but II was vigorously denied
that there WAS anything more In IL.

pupils OF the Willard school in Berlin.
