HAPPINESS IS SUPREME
WELFARE OF CHILD GREATER
THAN WILL OR ANY OTHER
DOCUMENT, SAYS JUDGE.
[uN1rrp rhrss LrAsrp wlnn.l

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-The welfare
and happiness of a child is superior to
any will or any other legal document
according to ruling here yesterday
afternoon by Superior Judge Dunno,
He took this stand in the case of
Susan Donahue, now eight years old
who was placed by her mother in the
care of Mary O'Neil when but 10
months old.
The child's mother died year ago,
leaving Susan $1,000 and directing in
her will that Maurice O'Brien and his
wife should have the custody of the
child When the o'Briens petitioned
yesterday for guardianship, Susan
plead to be allowed to say with her
foster mother, Mary ONeil,
"Under the will, Judge Dunno
told the 0'Briens, "you are entitled
to the guardianship but the happiness
Of this little child is paramount tC
any will. The child may live with
you for two weeks, If / find she is
dissatisfied then | shall allow her to
return to Mrs, ONeil, "

TRIES TO FOOL GEHLHAR
STRANGER ATTEMPTS TO PALM
OFF SKIN OF COYOTE FOR WOLF
AND GET $25.

County Clerk Gehlhar this morning
came very near being "stung" by a
stranger who brought in several wild
animal pelts anl demanded the bounty
on same Among the lot was a pelt
which the visitor claimed was that of
timber wolf. Wolf pelts are worth
$25 each under the present bounty law,
and the clerk, being unconvinced as to
Just what beast wore the hide in ques-
ton, took it down to the state game
warden's office, and was told that it
was the pelt of a coyote, instead of a.
wolf, coyote pelt being worth but
$3.50.
The visitor did not get his $25 boun-
ty, consequently, and the county clerk
is now assured that, despite the fact
that a coyote hide greatly resembles
that of a wolf, the two are different
even if in smell only.

WASHINGTON CANDIDATES
ALSO HAVE THEIR TROUBLES

There are 27I0O0 women in this
state who are of voting age. If they
were to espouse cause or support a
candidacy that cause or candidacy
could not be defeated Under the act
of enfranchisement all these may vote.
Under the circumstances which are now
evolving it is probable more than half
will vote But unless they are very
different from enfranchised women in
other states their voting will not ma
terially alter the results that were re-
corded in the days before women voted.
The wet and dry issue in this state
will afford a real test Of woman IS con-
ception of that question. 1t is to be
hoped the outcome may bring an en-
phatic majority one way or the other.
1t will be unfortunate if the issue
shall be inconclusively passed upon for
in that event it would rise at the first
opportunity to stir 'he animosities that
invariably attend an issue involving
personal liberty. Already it appears
that every candidate must run the gaun-
tlet Of this issue formed of the wet and
dry factions. The candidate must de-
clare himself wet or dry or on the
fence-and of course the ones that
dodge the question will be whacked
with the bludgeOns of both factions. A
timid candidate has proposed that all
candidates form mutual protection
association and stand together in re-
fusing to concede to vets and drys
the right to demand a yes or no ans
wer. But this would only open the
field to valiant champions Of the con
testing factions who would be willing
to make their campaigns on the wet
and dry issue alone. We may well ac'
cept the inevitable and do what we
may be able TO toward bringing a YER
diet that will show decisive expires
sion Of sentiment.--Everet Tribune

Governor West says he will send Miss
Fern Hobbs, his private secretary, to
Cove, Union county, to investigate the
alleged infraction of the liquor laws.
The governor says the town voted dry
at the last election, but is still wet
because of refusal of the authorities
to declare the result of the election.
His determination to have an investiga-
tion of conditions at Cove at once was
reached when he received the following

Governor West this morning an.

investigated at once, and his action
would depend on what that investiga-
