Just what effect the great European
war will have upon those members of
congress who are seeking to succeed
themselves in office or who are aspir-
ing to some more important position,
remains to be seen while general opin-
ion has it that all will find themselves
forced to remain at the national capi-
tOl and thus enter the political arean
only under heavy and unfortunate
handicap.
Here is the predicament of Congress
man ]. A. Falconer from this district,
one of the aspirants to the United
States senate to succeed Wesley L.
Jones, Divided between his duties to
his constituents by remaining at Wash
ington, D. c., and the eXpediency of
returning home to further his own pO-
litical ambitions, Mr.. Falconer has
chosen the former and it now remains
to be seen whether or not due appre-
citation of this manly attitude will be
given. In the meantime Mr.. Falconer
can divide his attention between the
emergency legislation caused by the
European war and the turmoil in his
own state over the senatorial situation
in which he himself is vitally inter-
ested.
And now that various candidates for
this position are prominently before
the public eye, it might be timely to
glance over Mr.. Falconer's public rec
ord.

Amendments.

Section l. Any amendment OF
amendments to this constitution may
be proposed in either branch of the
legislature, or by the people, as here
matter specified, and if the same be
proposed by the legislature and agreed
to by two-thirds of the members elect
ed to each of the two houses, such
proposed amendment or amendments
shall be entered on their journals
with the ayes and nays thereon, and
be submitted to the qualified electors
of the state for their approval, at the
next general election; provided, how
ever, that the people reserve to them
selves the power to propose, inde-
pendent of the legislature, any amend
ment or amendments to this constitu-
ton by petition setting forth the full
text of such proposed amendment or
amendments signed by not less than
ten per cent, nor in any case more
than fifty thousand of the legal voters
of this state, the percentage required
to be determined from the whole num-
Der of electors who voted for governor
at the regular gubernatorial election
last preceding the filing of any petit
ton, and filed with the secretary of
state, at least four months prior to the
next regular election, who shall sub
NIT the same to the people for their
approval or rejection, at the next reg
ular general election; and if the peo-
pie approve and ratify such amend

the voters voting thereon, the same
shall become part of this constitu-

be made by the governor; provided,
that if more than one amendment be

The European War

The European War
l know there is war going on over
in Europe. The events there transpir-
ing are of interest to the average per-
son. Whether the Germans turn the
flank of the allies or whether the Rus
SLAMS and Servians capture Petronoky-
zinkovitch is, no doubt, of surprising
Importance to the average American
workingman. However, just now it
does not seem clear to me that the
success or lack of success on the part
of any Of the contending forces is of
as much Importance to those who live
and work in the state of Washington
as is a proper determination of the
questions confronting the voters of
the state in the coming primary cleo
tion and finally the election next No
vember.
The European war ought not to dis
tract the attention of the workers of
this state from the more important
business of carrying to a successful
conclusion the campaign that has been
inaugurated in behalf Of the initiative
program Of the Joint Legislative
League-the Seven Sisters" That,
to my mind, is far more important
than the doings of a lot of hop-headed
kings and dukes and counts and no.
counts and their poor dupes over in
Europe.

| To amend Sec. 1 of Art. XXIIT of the
constitution of the state of Wash
ington, relating to amendments, and
providing for the amendment of the
constitution by the initiative.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of
the State of Washington:
Section 1. That at the general cleo
tion to be held in this state on Tues
day next succeeding the first Monday
in November, 1915, there shall be sub
mitted to the qualified electors of the
state of Washington for their adop-
ton or rejection, an amendment of
Sec. 1, Art. XXIIT, Of the constitution
of the state of Washington, relating
to amendments, and providing for the
amendment of the constitution by the
initiative, so that the same shall read
as follows:

Our Supreme Court.

Our Supreme Court.
OF even more Importance than the
adoption Of the Seven Sisters" is the
question of the selection of the three
supreme court justices that are to be
chosen this fall. There can be no
doubt but what the supreme court will
be called on to pass on the constitu-
tionality of some of the initiative
measures, if they are adopted 1t is
essential, then, that the court of last
resort be made up of men who think
in terms of human rights rather than
property.
Men who think with a stone-age
mind have no place on a modern-day
supreme court. This is said notwith-
standing the FACT that most of the
supreme courts are almost exclusively
made up of cave-men. Because this is
unfortunately true at the present time
is no reason why that state of affairs
should be taken as something un-
changeable and unalterable Rather
should it be the incentive for us to
bestir ourselves in an effort to place
on the supreme bench men who have,
in a measure at least, glimpsed the
coming dawn of social consciousness
and whose concept of the rights of
men are not predicated on the jungle
law of ''he takes who can"
Act at the Primaries
The time to act in this matter is at
the primaries, to be held one week
from next Tuesday-the day after
Labor Day. Under the law, a candi-
date in the primaries who receives a
majority of votes cast is elected. 1t
is not necessary for that candidate to
present himself to the voters at the
November election. 1t is essential
therefore, that action on the selection
of candidates be had at the primaries.
Three present holders Of positions
on the supreme bench are again cam
didates. Each one of these owes his
first elevation to the bench to the
good graces in which he was held by
3 former governor OF the state. Jus
tice Chadwick was appointed. I be-
lieve by the late Governor Iav-who
himself owed his governorship to
death. Justice Gose and Justice Grow
We're the appointees Of Governor Mead.
So it seems that We are called on to
pass on the appointees of politically
dead ones.

A Three-Day Cinch

Heretofore it has been demon
strated thar the holder of a supreme
iusticeship job had a three-ply double
riveted burglar-proof cinch as against
any contender The natural c6nserva-
tism of the ordinary citizen and his
disinclnation to change the personnel
of our supreme court has proven
tremendous advantage to those al
ready on the bench. To overcome this
handicap is the problem that confronts
every aspirant for a place on the SUI
preme bench. 1t does not matter what
the lack of qualification is on the part
of the present holder of the job or
what the superior qualifications of the
contender may be-conservatism and
"standpatism" more than outweighs
these considerations with the result,
usually, that we so on in the same old
rut.
I believe the people of the state of
Washington are progressive. They de-
sire that the state take front rank as
a government that has for its ideal
the greatest possible good for the
greatest number of human beings. The
people, generally, are firm believers in
the superior rights of man as against
property, and are willing and anxious
that that spirit of human traianism

During the last two sessions of the
state legislature the big issue from a
direct legislation standpoint has been
the submission to the people of a
constitutional amendment giving to
the people the right to amend the
state constitution through the initia-
tive. This power is the bedrock of
direct legislation. The necessary two
thirds majority of the last legislature
was pledged to this measure but when
it came to a show down in the house
the monied interests succeeded in
soaring enough legislators into line to
defeat the bill by five votes Several
members broke their signed pledges
under the crack of the machine whip
The Joint Legislative Committee,
representing the organized labor
forces and the organized farmers,
have decided this year to put but one
pledge up to legislative candidates.
The issue will be clean cut and those
WIN lSHole vi leluoe " Sigh the pluSe
will be considered antagonistic to this
principle of direct legislation. This
might as well be plainly understood
now. The people, or any part of the
people, have an absolute right to know
where those seeking their votes stand
on matters of such vital importance.
Following is the bill in full as it will
be introduced in the next legislative
session:
