New York, May %, 1916.

Quite as important as the June
bride is the June graduate. She must
be just as daintily dressed in misty
white and her future is equally as
promising.
1t is no longer considered the prop
er thing for the graduate to be elab-
orately dressed in silk and satin;
many of the daintiest frocks are fash
Toned by the graduate herself, from
the sheer voiles, organdies, nets, or
from the dainty flouncings of lace or
embroidery. The high schools favor
the idea of the graduate fashioning
her own dress; some go as far as to
suggest the material and the cut for
the entire class. Perhaps this does

81 that tn" average voter Is not so apt eager to
syn Initiative petitions today as ne was two years
ago, but Is giving them more study and making

Miss Case tells Of the troubles met in the rural

law IA new thing and the farmers had to be
"broken in to it, but the State Grange, the
Farmers Union and kindred organizations of
farmers hammered and agitated and urged the
farmers to register, day in and day out and their
campaign certainly should have been effective. AS
a matter of fact, the proportion of rural sgners
on the initiative petitions two years ago was very
small-where the League fell down this year, it
appears to us after looking over Miss Cases
figures, in the cities and not in the country
for Seattle gave less than half as many signatures
as had been expected Tacoma less than third

This leads then, to the other factors, the popu

to sign initiative petitions freely. The former

sisters and should have had about the same
appeal. The remaining influence, then, is the one
in which we inclined to place the greater i'm
portance-the fact Nat there has been a rever-
sion of feeling in the public mind toward inita-
tive measures, which were at their crest of popu-
larity two years ago. The novelty has worn off,
people are no longer signing petitions just to
please the person bringing them around" and the
need for any proposed measure must be more
strongly emphasized and more widely realized
now than two years ago, when the initiative was
a new toy and everybody enjoyed playing with it
more or less.

M'C0RKLE SEES HIS MISTAKE.

The man who sees he has made mistake and
admits it, is far bigger than he who sputters
around for an excuse. Sheriff Fred w. McCorkle
realizes now that he was far too lenient and far
too careless in his treatment of Jack Giies and
Henry Roberts, and he admits it. If he had been
as prudent as he should have BEEN if he had been
as strict as the circumstances demanded Gillies
and Roberts would still be in the Thurston county
Jail; but he was kindhearted, permitted them to
receive all kinds of favors, gave them the run of
the Jail at night well as day. and let them talk
as long as they wanted to with nearly anyone
they wanted to. The obvious thing happened.
This talk about the condition of the county Jail
Is nothing more than bunk, an excuse trumped up
TO cover an official fault and savoring of the old
chestnut about locking the stable after the horse
has run away. If the Jail is in bad condition. if
its location and construction are such as TO fac;
tate an escape then there was all the more reason
why Sheriff McCorkle should have exercised the
utmost care in handling these two prisoners He
had been warned to take particular care to guard
against Jail break and had been urged TO
have an officer at the Jail at night He did not
take the advice
The jail is a disgrace to the county-there is no
question about that. The least that should be
done is to remodel it. But the blame for the
escape OF Glllles and Roberts cannot rightly be
charged to the condition of the jail-it rests on
Sheriff McCOrke. He knew its condition and he
knew the men with whom he had to deal He was
too careless, too lenient-but he is man enonpb n
admit it.

JUDGE BLACK GETS "PANNED. I"

Local political writer's Of the Republican faith
try to tell us that the statehouse Democrats are
worried over Judge W. w. Black entrance into
the gubernatorial campaign through the medium
of the letters published couple of weeks ago,
but these political writers have guessed the wrong
guess-and the comments which have appeared in
the Democratic press throughout the state, every
one of them supporting Lister and ''panning"
Black, show why the statehouse Democrats are
not worrying. Black, by letting himself be made
the tool of scheming Republican politicians, has
killed himself with his party.
The editor of the Inland Empire News of Hill
yard puts it about plain as any of the others
who comment In big four-column box on the
front page, set forth by heavy black funeral
border he prints an APOLOGY to Our Readers"
in which the concluding paragraph is:
The Democratic party in this state has Loyalty
supported Black in the past His gratitude for
these favors has now been publicly expressed by
him. He should receive no further consideration.
now or ever again. from the Democratic party He
is not worth it, In our humble opinion he is an
exceedingly small participating it mildly"
Local Republicans would have us believe there
is fighting and pickering and division in the Dem
ocratic party in this state The unanimity with
which the Democratic newspapers Of the state no
matter where located, support Governor Lister and
"pan" Judge Black, in this particular incident, as
they have supported Governor Lister unwaver-
ngy during the past three years. is proof positive
to anyone who wants the truth, that the predomi-
mating sentiment of the Democrats Of the state
the practically unanimous sentiment, favors Gov
ernor Lister There FAINT no Division

THE FAILURE OF THE -FOUR BROTHERS.
BILLS

The universal registration law passed by the
last legislature is blamed by Miss Lucy R. Case,
secretary of the Joint Legislative Committee, for
the failure of the petitions for the four brothers,
initiative bils-the proposed fish code, first aid
bill, the nOn-partisan elections bill and the so.
called "home rule" bill-upon which, if reports
be true less than half the required number of sig
natures were obtained
In the face of the fact that the brewers bill
obtained some seventy thousand signatures, of
which about forty-six thousand were certified as
being those of legally registered voters, and in
view of the further fact that the seven sisters''
bills two years ago obtained from seventy to more
than hundred thousand gross signatures, it
appears to us that something else had as great
and perhaps greater influence in the final result,
and two of these factors of course, would be the

LYING ABOUT LOCAL POLITICS.

The old chestnut about Governor Lister butting
into Thurston county political affairs and dictat-
ing to Its Democrats that they should do this and
should not do that, resulting in "split'' and
nght IN among the local Democrats, has made its
appearance again through the same old vehicle.
which periodically resorts to the publication of
such yarns as each campaign rolls around
The old chestnut was dressed up little differ.
emily this time, in the guse of dissension as to
whether there should be non-partisan ticket or a
straight Democratic ticket in this county this fall
the statement being made that the governor had
ordered Democratic ticket The editor of this
newspaper, through numerous conversations with
the governor during the last few months, person
ally knows that that assertion is the sheerest sort
OF fabrication having no basis whatever in fact.
Furthermore, we know it to be fact that Cover
nor Lister does not care continental what kind
OF ticket there is in this county this fall
Persons who know anything about the situation
and who are not so blinded by partisan feeling
that they unable to view it correctly. know
that Governor Lister has never nterfered in the
local politics of Thurston county or any other
county in the slightest degree, in spite of the
efforts of some people to drag him into these af
fairs. That of course is in very striking contrast
to the state of affairs in the Republican organza-
ton in this county, which is Communicated, direct
ed, whip-sawed and framed up by a gentleman
who inhabits Office in the northeast corner of
the first floor of the statehouse.

In the sub rosa" Of things political it has been
talked for some time that George A. Lee, one of
the Republican candidates for governor, was
Democrat in his native state of Nebraska before
he came to Washington MEN years ago. but now
that this little bit Of interesting information has
been turned loose into the world by the Yakima
kepublic, it is worth passing comment here. He

tins state, for a man who ran on Democratic
ticket for political job only little while before
he came to Washington nine years ago, but now
he has been in this state have been spent in public
offices to which he was appointed by Republicans
