LOUIS KEMPER rs DEAD.

CINCINNATI-Sec. Louis Kemper,
of the International Union of the
United Brewery Workmen, died in this
city of pneumonia. Deceased was
widely known throughout the country
because of his sterling qualities and
trade union activities, which were fac

front rank among American trade

occasions, and was elected at the
Rochester convention OF the latter
body in 1912 as fraternal delegate to
the British Trades Union Congress.

WELL WHAT
ABOUT IT

While the trend of the voters of this
state was unmistakably back to the
republican party, evidenced by the re-
turn to congress of a full republican
delegation, yet the voters showed a
disposition to ignore party lines in
the selection of minor officers. Prob
ably there was more scratching than
at any previous election in this state.
This is a healthy sign at least.
Snohomish county maintained its
position as the banner progressive
county in the state. Three of the five
egislators-elect are of that faith.
Most of the county officers went to
the progressives as well.
The wet and dry issue cast its sha-
dow over all things political last
Tuesday and many a defeated candi-
date is inwardly breathing fervent
curses toward that issue.
The surprise of the election was the
poor showing made by Ole Hanson. 1t
had been confidently expected by
many that he would sweep the state,
based on the whirlwind campaign he
had made. Judge Black, conceded to
be formidable candidate, again show
ed an uncanny ability to garner votes.
There is no question that it was the
split in the progressive vote that was
responsible for the return of Wesley
L. Jones to the United States senate.
Both Black and Hanson were progress
sive and the elimination of either
man in the primaries would have
meant Jones' defeat.
Campbell for congress from this dis
trict met his Waterloo, being defeated
by Lin Hadley, of Bellingham. Hustled
ran like scared jack rabbit, defeat
ing Campbell in many precincts and
running him a close second in the
county as whole. Campbell is a
hold-over senator and will be in Olym

WAGES RAISED

Printers employed in job offices of
this city have raised wages from SIS
to $21 per week. A one-year contract
has been signed. There is no change
in the newspaper scale, which is S21 60

pia next January, prepared to stir up
trouble for the standpatters. He ac-
cepts his defeat with good grace,
thanking every one who aided and as
sisted him in his campaign.
AS was expected the eight-hour bill
failed to survive the unmerciful lam
basting it received from the press of
the state Though those who worked
so hard for it's passage are bitterly
disappointed over the outcome, there
is consolation in knowing that the
campaign set people thinking as never
before over the problem of unem-
ployment with the shorter work-day
as means of curbing that evil. Two
years more of steady education and
agitation will undoubtedly educate the
public mind to the absolute necessity
of reducing the hours of employment
as a means of solving, the unemployed
problem. If the opponents of the
shorter work-day imagine they have
finallyfinally settled this question,
they are due to have their minds sadly
disabused.
Indications at this writing point to
the probable success of the initiative
measures Nos. 8 and 8, abolishing
private employment agencies and add
ing a first aid" amendment to the
compensation act. The enemies of
direct legislation, through the agency
of the op-Look-Listen league, fought
all initiative measures viciously from
the time they were first proposed by
the Joint Legislative committee. They
fought to prevent placing them upon
the ballot and fought their final pass
age. At the last the press sent out
the word "kill all initiative measures;
take no chance with any of them"
With almost certainty at this writ
ing that the two measures mentioned
have carried there is feeling of sat
isfaction that our strenuous work has
not all been in vain.
We were greatly handicapped by the
initiative law in reaching the voters
with arguments for initiative mea-
sures. The price of 5000 a page de-

manded by the secretary of state for
including our arguments in the state
pamphlet, was prohibitive and we
were compelled to use other means
of publicity This state pamphlet
went into every home in the state. 1t
contained arguments against the bills
by forces opposed to them who were
amply able to stand the cost. Nolun-
tary distribution of our own argu-
ments could not in the nature of
things be as far reaching and thor
ough as a pamphlet reaching every
voter. Every family had the argu-
ments against to read and study at
their leisure; we were unable to reach
at all many thousands of voters. If
the law is to be fair, this publicity
feature must be changed.
The alien land bill was buried out
of sight as it deserved to be. There

throwing down the bars to hordes of
Asiatics to obtain by simple purchase
agricultural lands as we'll as city
property This bill was vigorously
opposed by the Joint Legislative com
mittee.
Everywhere the socialist vote was
heavy, although no tabulated returns
are yet obtainable. 1t IS probable
that the socialist vote will be found to
be heavier than that of two wears ago.
Outside of Snohomish county the
progressive vote showed a heavy fall
ing off We who had the republicans
dead and buried found a mighty lively
corpse on our hands when the vote
was counted. Well, we can stand it
if the rest of the people can. It's the
people who have decided these cleo
tions and we trust we know how to
take our medicine gracefully.
While at this writing it is not alb
solutely certain, yet it seems that the
city charter amendment has carried.
This was inaugurated by the Everett
Trades Council and provided for pre-
ference given to American citizens,
heads of families, on city public work.
