REPUBLICAN PARTY VICTORY
IN WASHINGTON is FORECAST
Vote Shows Six Times as Many Republi-
cans as DemoCrats-40, 900 Major
ity Freely Predicted.

There are six times as many repub-
licans as democrats in the state ieof
Washington according to the vote cast
in the primary election on September
18th. The official figures given out
by the state canvassing board at Olym-
pia last week show that 214, $50 repub-
lican votes were cast, 34,o70 demo-
cratic votes and 469 progressive votes.
AS Chairman F.. c. Harper, Of the
republican state central committee,
points out, the democrats can get little
comfort from these returns, as they
show that the republican party in
Washington is again thoroughly united
and that the democratic party is in a
hopeless minority.
The returns show that Uuited States
Senator Miles c. Poindexter won on
first choice as we'll as combined first
and second, and that former Governor
Henry Mcbride lead his rivals for the
gubernatorial nomination on both first
and second choice votes.
In view OF the overwhelming strength
of the republicans in this state, as in
dicated by the primary vote, the repub-
lican state headquarters expresses ab-
solute confidence in decisive victory
for the entire ticket on November 7th.
That the republican majority may be
forty thousand is freely predicted.

POINDEXTER fLAYS WILSON
AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY
In Speech at SeattIe-RepubIiCanS Of
King County United in His
Support

In brief address, preceding his in
PRODUCTION of Chas. w. Fairbanks, re-
publican nominee for vice president, at
a big republican rally in Seattle last
week, Senator Miles Poindexter hayed
President Wilson and the democratic
national administration and predicted
victory for the entire republican ticket
in this state.
Senator Poindexter, who was one OF
the chief national figures in the pro-
gressive party movement OF four years
ago, and has held the confidence and
leadership of the progressive element
Of the party in this state since the in
ception of that party, is in full accord
with the new spirit Of harmony that has
brought the factions Of the republican
party together in a firm and confident
union, and as one OF the leaders Of the
reunited party in this state, is making
splendid fight for republicanism in
this campaign.
Always secure in a strong personal
following, even when the republican
party was divided, he is certain OF
victory now with a united party back

A Demand for Fewer Laws

Many candidates for legislative offices
are promising to enact no new laws,
but to repeal some. Public sentiment
and business interests are demanding
more and more a let,up in the volume
of legislation. Still many political con-
ventions adopted platforms pledging
candidates to enact new laws if elected.
If all the measures promised are
brought before the state law making
bodies, there will be a perfect deluge
of new legislation, and lawyers and
courts will have the time of their lives
in giving them logical Interpretation.
The statute books OF every state in
the Union is burdened already with
more laws than are needed or than can
be enforced. Repeal is more neces-
sarv than new laws, and amendment OF
existing statutes, with view to avoid
ing contradiction and promoting uni
formity, is most essential of all. Busi-
ness is throttled or hsmpered on all
sides by conflicting and contradictory
laws and regulating commissions.
In the language of Thomas Jefferson,
that community which is governed
least is governed best" 1t is the fash
ion with the thoughtless to judge OF a
legislators value by the number OF
bills that he introduces, and with too
many Legislators to think they are neg
lecting their duty and not earning their
salary unless they propose a new act
eyery day. The truth is that the
country would in many instances be
better served and would save money II
its lawmakers were paid for doing moth
ing at all.

QUEER DISEASE IS
DEATH To FAMILY

DALTON, Ca, Feb s. - When the
Beckley family moved out of the high
hills month aga, there were nine of
them. Now there are five and three
of those are dying. So far the 3-months-
cid baby is immune.
Two physicians are working upon
the case-without affivail. For want of
name they have called the Beckley
acliction pneumonia. They were at
tackled just a few days ago and within
six days time four of the family de,
parted this life-four wooden caskets
brought to the cottage door.
The Beckleys came about Christmas
time out of Allaculsa valley and settled
at Elton, near Dalton, that the children
might attend school. Mary, the oldest
daughter, already remarkable for he"
.brightness-a veritable diamond in
the rough-especially was ambitious
for schooling. She was one of the first
to go.
The mother, Bette; another daugh-
ter, Ruth, and the boy, Charlie, also
are dead The survivors are Fred, the
father; Essie, Omie, Birch and the baby
three of these are critically ILL.,
Up in the valley the Beckleys lived
in an open" house-a log hut with
crooks between the logs. The theory is
advanced in Elton that from long ex-
posture to the open air the family be
came constituted like the Indian and
that the confinement of close house
was fatal to them. The case is mys-
ferrous as well as pathetic.

MONEY FOR SCIENCE
IN AUSTRALIA NOW

MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. s.
Prime Minister Hughes announced at
a luncheon given him recently by the
faculty of Melbourne University that
the Federal Government was prepar-
ed to spend up to $2,5OO,OOO if neces-
sary on the establishment of an insti-
tuition for scientific research in rela-
tion to industry. Mr.. Hughes said that
it had been shown what potential
wealth there was in Australia, but the
Australian people were practically in
thought with a national laboratory
their swadding clothes-economica
they were in their school days. He
Australians could utilize science in
opening new avenue of industrial eff
fort. They could increase the produc-
tivity of the country from Is to 20 per
cent.
"The Commonwealth Government, {"
he went on, will endeavor to coord
mate the universities in the various
states in this direction. We are not
committed to details. AS far as posi-
BILE we will avail ourselves of the abil-
ity and services of the scientific men
in our own industries, but if necessary
to strengthen the staff it can be rein,
forced from outside. l will make in
quiries during my visit abroad, but in
any case the Government without de-
lay will take the necessary steps to
give the institution start"
Mr.. Hughes suggested that the Mel
bourne professors invite representa-
tives of the universities in the other
states to meet in Melbourne at an early
date to consider the whole question.
THE Government" he declared, will
give $4,000, 900 if necessary. say that
deliberately. 1t is the best investment
Australia could make"

ATLANTA MOVIES ARE
OPEN ON SUNDAY NOW

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. S.-Despite the
pending fight in the courts to stop the
practice, several leading Atlanta mo-
ton picture houses were open again
yesterday giving benefit performances
for Belgian relief, Kings Daughters,
and other charitable and even semi
religious and charitable purposes.
While the Sunday motion picture
benefit idea has been carried out gen.
orally in Atlanta for several months,
and so extensively that on some Sun
days practically all the downtown
theatres are open, the opponents of
the idea took no definite action until
last week when leaders of the opposf-
ton announced that if the picture
managers didn't stop the practice they
would invoke the law.
1t remains to be seen today whether
the movie men will be prosecuted, and
which side will win. Indictments have
already been taken out against two or
three of the leading representative
picture house managers.

Figures About
WOrknen For
Germany Now

BERLIN, Feb. 8.-According to the
records of the sick insurance office of
Berlin it appears that the Withdrawals
OF workmen from employment in
shops and factories for war duty last
year were far less numerous than had
been generally believed. Especially
vas the reduction slight in the young :
est an ditch oldest classes of men sub
ject to military duty. Thus workmen
between II and 20 years old represent
ed on January 1, 1915, 1872 per cent Of
all the names on the lists, but by Oc-
tober1 they had been reduced only to
14.6 per cent. The reduction for the
class between Al and As years was from
8.S to rs per cent Even for all class
es sAbject to military duty the average
reduction for the nine months was only
about 3 per cent 1t is a remarkable
fact that even now the class of young
men between 81 and 25 is larger than
any other one in the shops and fac
tories of Berlin, constituting 1876 per
cent of all the names listed.

Cotton Goods
Cause Factories
Close Down

BERLIN, Feb. Sowing to govern
mental restrictions in the manufacture
OF cotton goods "a large number of fac
tories in Austria-Hungary have closed
down. Only those establishments con-
t;nue running which are making ma
terials for the army, and owing to the
shortage of raw cotton even their out
put is limited. Hitherto the manufac-
lures have been assisting the unem-
ployed but the general situation has
now become so serious that the gov
ernments in Vienna and Budapest have
been forced to come to the rescue of
the workers. Both have agreed to
grant subwentions, under the supervis-
ion of joint commission composed of
representatives of the manufacturers
an dworkers, and officials from the
of the Interior, Finance and
Commerce.

.RUMORS SAY THAT
WHISKEY IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Feb. S-For the first
time in the history of Atlanta rumors
are becoming current that number of
near beer saloons have begun to sell
Whiskey across the bar. Two police
raids have already been made, and in
yeriication of the suspicion quantities
Of whiskey were found in the two sa>
looms.
This is something new, however, in
Atlanta, The near beer saloons have
been selling real beer all the time,
with the tacit knowledge and consent
o. the authorities, but it has been I'M
derstood between the barkeepers and
the police that the beer saloons would
be kept absolutely clear of alcoholic
beverages of a stronger nature. The
fact that some of them have recently
started to sell whiskey has been a gen
eral surprise and is going to be squel-
ched mighty quick

social institutions of the country. Of
the amount that you can give for
church, charity, and public purposes,
wouldn't it really be good idea to
set aside 10 to 25 per cent for helping
country communities? Or a better
plan may be to offer the country COM
munity so much if they will raise SO
much-either to get modern school
building, with a community hall, or
an extra teacher, or good school
library or school farm, or new
church building.
Every man who owns land in COM
munity, whether he was reared there
or not should also count it privil-
eye and a duty to do something for
maintaining schools and churches.
Certainly if there were no schools and
churches there, his land would be less
valuable, so that even from the cold
est financial standpoint it is his duty
to aid these agencies add value to his
property.-The Progressive Farmer.
