Rural Voters Must
Be REGISTERED
Governor Lister Joins in Urging Ru-
raj Voters Not to Lose Their
Franchise by Failure to Register

OLYMPIA, Aug. ia movement
has been inaugurated in many parts
OF the state for the designation of
Saturday, August 10Th, as Rural Reg
istration Day.
Up to the present time, registration
in the rural precincts throughout the
state has moved slowly and thous-
ands of voters, must yet place their
names on the books before they can
take part in the approaching cleo
tions.
The next general election, which
will occur in November, is of special
Importance, for in addition to the Sc
lection of national, state and county
officials, the voters of Washington
have several important initiative and
referendum measures coming before
them for consideration.
l therefore join in urging all who
have not yet registered, whether in
city or rural precincts, but especially
in rural precincts where the registra-
ton has been backward, to set aside
Saturday, August 10Th, as Registration
Day, and would suggest that all who
have not yet registered do so on that
day, and also urge their neighbors to
register.

by the people as personal favor.
Il am candidate because l under
stand it to be the wish of large
majority of the bar, and of many other
citizens of the county. If the people
see fit to elect me l shall appreciate
the honor; but if elected it must be
without personal solicitation on my
part. and without anyone having the
remotest reason for thinking me under
obligation to use the office in any way
as personal favor to him.
The judge declined to say more
than his original statement, stating
that conditions have not altered his
opinions of how a candidate should
look upon the office. He has served
as judge, first by appointment, and
then by election six years ago and
four years ago, and is candidate for
reelection.

Judge Sheeks Will
Make No Campaign
Superior Judge Ben Sheeks WIN Make
No Campaign for Reelection,
But Will Rely on Record

Superior Judge Ben Sheeks has an
nounced that he would adhere to his
rule, and will solicit no votes for his
reelection. He made a similar an
nouncement eight years ago when he
6rst was candidate for the bench, in
which he takes the stand that he be-
lieves the judiciary should be as far
removed from political strife as DOS
sible, and that judge should not be
placed under personal obligations to
persons who may afterward be en-
gagged in litigation in his court. The
statement made by Judge Sheeks eight
years ago follows:
"As l remember there was an old
English statute making it unlawful for
a man to solicit for himself an office
like this, concerning which, that great
lawyer, Sir Edward Coke, said the
statute was worthy to be written in
letters of gold; but more worthy to be
put into execution.
$50 the ethics and better traditions
of the profession have been against
personal solicitation. 1t has even been
considered that such solicitation by a
candidate for judge was evidence of
unfitness for the position 1t is too
much like asking for a personal favor
but vote for Judge should not be
given as favor.
Suppose l should go to a dozen
men and by asking get their votes
and thus secure the office, how many
of them do you think, would feel, if
brought before me as Judge that they
had personally favored me and that
as judge, should now favor them?
But judge, as such, should have no
favors to grant, Such favor to one
is at the cost to some other, and per-
haps at the sacrifice of justice as we'll.
II have no inclination to depart from
what seems to me the better course:
or to degrade the office by treating It

at his home in Elma, and was buried
Tuesday, services being held in the
Christian church and interment in Odd
Fellows cemetery. He crossed the
plains to Washington in 1853, when
three years old, his parents being
members of that famous party which
was first to cross the Cascades by the
Matches Pass. There is now granite
monument near Falkland, Pierce coun-
ty, where this party reached the end
of the long trail on October 8, 1853.
The parents took up>a donation land
claim five miles east of Olympia. The
father was shoemaker. During the
Indian War of 1865 the family lived
in the stockade fort on the old Ruddell
place.
Mr.. Hines joined lodge No. Al. In
depenednt Order of Odd Fellows in
1887, and was at the time of his death
the proud possessor of veterans
emblem in that order for his 25 years
OF membership in good standing.
Mr.. Hines was married in 1857 to
Juanita Chapman. Their family con-
sisted Of four girls and one boy. The
wife died in April, 1891, and in Novem-
Der, 1895, he was married to Mrs.
Annie Nixon. To this union four chill

live around Elma. The three other
daughters are living, one in San Fran.
cisco, one in Brewster, WASH, and
one in Raymond, Wash. Mr.. Hines
had 10 living grandchildren.
The esteem of his neighbors is re-
Elected in the fact that he held the
office of Justice of the Peace for the
Elma precinct for II conservatives
years. He was elected for another year,
but refused to qualify. His recollec-
ton of the journey over the plains
and mountains is remarkable from the
fact that he was SO young at the time.
He was born in Illinois in 1850.

Candidate for Republican nomination
for County Treasurer, who bases his
claim on his value as a member Of
the Board OF Equalization.

Speaking Of taxation in Grays Har-
Dor county," said R. A. Wiley, former
county assessor and candidate for
county treasurer, there is still due
this county for delinquent taxes, $685.
434.O7. This amount does not include
the large investment made by private
individuals in delinquent certificates.
The majority of this money is owed
the county by the Weyerhaeuser Tim
Der Syndicate and other nonresident
taxpayers, and, as the county is on a
cash basis, there is no reason to COM
promise with this concern, or any 9TH
er, in the payment of it's just taxes.
Our local timber men have paid their
taxes.
when this property becomes de-
linqnent, it is the duty of the County
Treasurer to sell the property for
taxes, and in the absence of any bid
ders it will be purchased by the
county.
"Of this vast amount there is owing
for roads in the various districts more
than $107 100000. If this money was
paid in certain roads now under con-
struction could be completed, and
would do away with additional money
being taken from the taxpayers peck
cts to finish the same.
"There is due the Elma school dis
trict 3,591.76, and If this money was
collected, it would be possible to con.
tinue the schools without further EN-.
barrassment.

WILL EXHIBIT AT
NEXT STATE FAIR
Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce Joins
With East End in Arranging for
An Exhibit at the State
Fair.

The expense of installing a good eX-
hibit from Grays Harbor county at the
Washington State fair, to be held at
North Yakima September IS to %, is
to be borne equally by the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce and the east
end of the county. This was decided
Monday, at a meeting of the executive
committee of the chamber, presided
over by President T. B. Bruener, held
in the new quarters of the local COM
mercial organization in the Hotel
Washington. Ted Callow of Elma
guaranteed that the east end would
share half and half with Aberdeen in
the expenses.
This means that each party to the
agreement will contribute about SIS,
money which there is strong prob
ability may be drawn down again with
something to boot, after the awards
are made for the county exhibits. R.
L. Dalton, state horticulturist, in let
ter to County Commissioner j. B. Kir-
kaldie, declares that Grays Harbor
county should take first prize with an
exhibit that would be fairly represent
alive of its farming resources. Every
effort will be made to put in such an
exhibit
The action of the Chamber in plac-
ing at the disposal of w. c. Mumaw,
chairman of the agriculture and logged
off land committee, the SIS asked by
him, is in line with the Chambers
policy of getting behind the farmers of
the county at every opportunity.

What is needed in the office is some
one who will not compromise with any

ton and says he is qualified to de-
fend the county's interest when fore
closure for delinquency comes due.

up bogus heroes The Kings uni
form has been abused to a greater
extent than has been supposed. The
military authorities saw the danger
some time ago, and made an effort
themselves to deal with it, but the
assistance of Scotland Yard was
found to be desirable, and now a
strict lookout is kept for adventur-
ers in military guise. Every day the
organization grows more effective
and nobody can perpetrate a fraud
of the kind with a feeling of impun-
ity. Imposters trying to- take advan-

He was convicted of larceny in Chi

met a mouse. Ordinarily one would
not think of attempting to scale the
Jungfrau Of success on a mouse. But
the ascetic life of the cell had trans
formed Rankin the thief into Rankin
the thinker.
He fed the mouse. They became
friends. Other mice came along. He
befriended them. Then he startd to
train them. He taught them to loop
the loop, perform high dives, play
dead" answer to their Individual
names, hunt peanuts and cheese.
Now Rankin has mouse circus,
said to be one of the oldest "mena-
geries'' in existence. He wants the
world to see it. He has enlisted the
aid of DR.. F. Emory Lyon, head OF
