PROPOSED BONE DRY"
LAW TO Be DROPPED
W. c. II. U. Agrees With Others That
1t Would Weaken Present
Measure.

Local state officials say it is i'm
probable initiative measure No, 26,
the new dry law modelled after the
Idaho prohibition act, which was
fled by the w. G.. T. u, will ever
reach the legislature, for Mrs. Eliza
beth Thayer of Seattle, represent
ing the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, sponsor for the bill, has
communicated with Secretary of
State Howell, seeking to have the
measure withdrawn.
This is taken to indicate that the
w. c. T. U. has agreed with the va
rious ministerial associations of the
state and the Anti-saloon League,
which were prepared to fight the new
measure on the ground that It was
defective AMI would in reality weak
en- rather than strengthen the pres
ent prohibition law.
Mrs. Thayer was advised by Sec
rotary of State Howell that the ini-
tiative and referendum law provides
no method for the withdrawal of
measures which are initiated, and
that, therefore, the only alternative
would be to cease all efforts in be-
half of the bill.
The bill YVES filed to be initiated
in the coming legislature, and in case
the legislature did not act It was to
have gone before the people in 1918.

ABOLITION OF ELECTORAL
COLLEGE NOW AG|TATEO
Sentiment for Direct Popular Elec.
ton of President Is
Growing.

In many parts of the country SEN
timent is making itself felt for fed
eral amendment abolishing the cleo
tOral college and establishing the d.
rect popular election of the president
and vice president, just as was done
in the case of senators a few years
ago, says dispatch from the ma
tional capital.
Due to the electoral college sys-
tenn, it is entirely possible for can
d!date with minority popular vote
to gain a majority of the electors and
be elected.
The electoral college has long been
the butt of cartoonists and para
graphers. No legal restraint IL
placed on the electors to vote except
as their judgment dictates. They
simply have moral restraint to
choose the men their constituents ex-
poet them to vote for.
The trainers of the original con-
stitution and of the amendment OF
1904 did. indeed, expect the electors
would just use their best Judgment,
irrespective Of the conditions OF
their election. But there are scarce
ly any instances of electors taking
tie bits in their teeth and voting diff
fcrently from what was expected OF
them.

THIS DOG WENT A-FISHIN
,.-ANO DIDN'T COME BACK
4 Least Thut'> the story They re
Telling un lack ~olbc,k of
Mud Bay.

They're telling quite a funny story
"a fish story ON Jack Solbeck Of
Mad Bay. So much so that it's beng
printed in uoNn-Sound papers. It
seems that Solbock is mourning a
suHnieI he recently lost under some
what peculiar circumstances. said
circumstances account for the story.
The animal was naturally fond Of
water, a trait which Solbeck encour-
aged to such an extent that he was
resently able to tie a trolling line
and spoon hook to the dogs tail,
thereafter reclining comfortably on
the beach in full confidence of get
ting fish without further effort. The
dog would swim around until he
hooked one, when he would paddle
ashore towing the catch.
But the rua of the big Tyee salmon
has commenced and one of these took
the hook in the wake of Solbeck' 5
faithful friend. Came then a bub-
bling yelp, frantic padding of paws
and the circles slowly widened where
once was Solbecks dog.
An hour later, it is reported two
fishermen caught a mud shark in the
bay that wore leather collar which
Solbeck has identified.
So there you have the story as one
newspaper printed it.
