INSURANCE FUND LOOTED
UNDER GOVERNOR LISTER
ellis Serving Time for Twenty thousand
Dollar PeCuIatiOn-Raising
Telephone Rates

Governor, Ernest Lister has been the
most extravagant and costly governor
the State Of Washington has ever had.
AS governor he has made the tax
payers for the first time in the history
of the state pay the statutory limit of
8 mills for state general fund purposes.
When he took Office the public
service commission OF Washington
ranked with those oil Wisconsin and
Massachusetts,, the highest in the
United States. Now the Washington
commission is little more than joke,
but an expensive one for the tax payers.
Its most notable order is the one OF
recent date permitting the telephone
company to raise rates.
The tsx commission has done moth
ing toward solving taxation problems
and, in fact. has had but two members
whereas the law provides for three.
The industrial insurance commission
under the three democratic politicians
has been noted chiefly because under
a democratic administration the funds
were looted Of more than $4,000.
AS result the taxpayer. the working
man and the employer are all distrust-
full Of the industrial insurance commits
sion law.
AS for the board of control the man
ner in which efficient heads of institu-
tons were ousted to make way for
political friends Of the democratic ad-
ministration has been scandal in itself.
In the highway department Lister
was forced to make change after he
- had appointed Spokane political friend
over the protest Of Spokane leaders.
This shameful record of the state de-
partments and institutions is the reason
Governor Lister is so busy explaining
away the $4,000 note and trying to
convince the people that he is dry"
Among those who know the idea OF
Lister being dry is regarded the joke
of the season. In 1912 Governor Hay,
the republican nominee for governor
was the dry candidate. A republican
legislature had passed the local option
bill and Hay had vetoed a measure
which is practically the same as lnitia-
tive Measure No. Is which will be
voted on this fall. The saloon men,
the liquor forces as a whole and the
wet" hotel men were working in the
interest of Lister and his election was
regarded victory for for the wet forces.
An examination of the returns in 1912
will show that Lister carried the wet
districts in all sections of the state. In
1914 when the prohibition bill was up
before the people Lister had nothing
to say but was neutral" After he
saw the $4,000 majority for the dry
bill he suddenly became a dry. He
says nothing in any of his messages
concerning the liquor question except
to ask for $4,000 to be used for a
sleuth fund. This in spite OF the fact
that the state has thirty-nine prose-
cutting attorneys, thirty-nine sheriffs and
innumerable peace officers sworn.to en-
force the Law. and with money available.
Lister also has at his disposal more than
$4,000 for Especial investigations"
Up to date he has not used one cent
of this so far as records show to help
enforce the dry law.

MGNoBLE EASE"AND PEACE
Full SLOTH ARE
NOT PEACE.

There is nothing that we Of
this country so much need as
to practice the doctrine OF serv-
Ice. AS a people we need the
sterner virtues even more than
we need the softer virtues. Ma
terial prosperity, bodily ease,
money, pleasure, are all desir-
able; but woe to US If we con-
slider them as the be-all and end
all of our private lives or Of our
collective national lifel Woe
to us II our material prosperity
brings In its wake lethargy OF
shirt and deafness of soul Let
us In our lives apply the great
doctrines Of duty and Of service.
Above all let US realize that lof-
ty profession is q mischieyous
sham when 1t is not translated
into efficient performance.

MR.. WILSON TOOK PLEAS
URE IN EXTENDING THE
HAND OF WELCOME
TO cARRANZA.

One of these "unciVilized"
acts was committed on Septem-
Der goth, when some of Carran-
za's soldiers captured an Ameri-
can trooper, killed him and cut
off his head and ears. Exactly
twenty days later, on October
10Th, Mr.. Wilson expressed
pleasure" in informing carran-
"a that he recognized him!
Since the recognition, carranza's
troops by his orders have
treacherously attacked and muir
dered American soldiers on at
least two occasions. If the acts
above recited-which are merely
samples of the course of con-
duct carranza has already pur-
sued-do not constitute din
trleue and assassination, treach-
cry and Violence" then the
words have lost their meaning.
MIR. Wilson took pleasure" in
Extending the hand of well
come" to carranza, whose own
hand is red with the blood of
murdered men and women of
his own nation, and whose
hands, unlike the hands Of
Huerta, were also red with the
blood of murdered Americans,
of murdered American civilians,
and of murdered American SOL
diers wearing the American uni
form. But President Wilson cared
as little for the deaths of these
men as he cared for the honor
of the uniform. He with "pIeas-
ure" extended the hand of
welcome" to the man guilty of
their murder.-From the Speech
of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle
Creek, Michigan, in Behalf Of Mr..
Hughes.

The second game was started at
exactly Apt with Baby Brown in
the box for the locals and L'Hom-
medieu for the visitors. In spite of
the heat there was scarcely a per-
son that left the grounds after the
first game was played, all wanting to
see Lakeland take the second con-
test. It was a grand contest up to
the sixth, royal pitchers battle,
the kind of game that delights all
patrons of the national pastime.
Brown pitched air-tight ball and
never was in danger. L'Homme-
deus place was taken by Bliss Davis
after the first inning and the big
boy dished out a fine brand of ball.
The sixth inning was his downfall.
After Franklin had reached first on
an infield hit, Merlin and Tenny
singled, filling the bases. Brown hit
a long fly to center and Franklin
tagged up and came home on the out.
1t was here the trouble started Bar
tow claimed that Franklin never
went back to the base and they
would not give the run to Lakeland.
Roquemore who had the jurisdiction
from third to the hme plate, claimed
that Franklin touched third and was
safe at home, fact that ought to
have settled the game right then and
there, but Harper knew he was beat,
so he had to find some chance for
an argument. About one hour was
spent in argument, during which
some up-to-date crawfishing was
shown, also some rules new to base
ball were uncovered. Claire Henley,
good old sport that he is, told Har-
per that he would settle it anyway
he wanted. Mr.. Harper, the presi-
dent of the league, said that the only
way to settle it was to nave Brown
go back to the bat and make the
play over again. In your fondest
dreams, fans, did you ever hear of
proposition like this, sending a man
back to the bat after he had made
StOIluCo ny MedHWHlle the sun
was gradually sinking and Umpire
Roquemore decided to end the agony
by calling the game on account of
darkness. Henley says that there
will be no more games played with
Barlow while he has anything to do
with a team here, as there has been
the yellowest kind of sportsmanship
81 own by the visiting team. Lake
land stands a half game behind Bar
tow in the league and if she is vic
torious at Winter Haven this after
noon, she will be tied with Barlow

ably never be played off.
