George Turner, Poindexter op-
ponent in the race for election to
the senate, this week in an inter
view in Seattle. Mr.. Turner de-
clared that Pinchotism had done
more harm to the Pacific north
west and Alaska ethan an army
of locusts" and that PoindeXter
by his record in supporting this
conservation scheme "wrote him
self down as a follower of the
Pinchot idea of conservation. "
The z canyon project has been
held up for nearly eleven years
because of the withdrawal of a
small amount Of land in that sec
ton. Judge Turner takes the
stand that projects like this should
be thrown open to the people on
terms that would allow the de-
velopment to proceed under laws
which will protect the public and
he declares that he will work and
vote for laws to that end.
w. A. Haskins of Marcus, demo-
cratic candidate for state repre-
sentative, is a man peculiarly
fitted to represent Stevens county
in the next legislature, by reason
of his active work for good roads,
and his thorough knowledge Of
this county.
Mr.. Haskins is 48 years of age.
He came west from Wisconsin
when a young man, and settled
at Grants Pass, Ore, where he
made a record for management OF
municipal affairs in several terms
as councilman. After successful
ly managing large lumber inter-
ests there for some time, he came
to Deer Park, Wash, and looked
after the interests of the Pine
Lumber Co. of which he was presi-
dent until that institution sold its
interests. He moved to Marcus
in 1905 and engaged in real es-
tate and numbering, being the first
mayor of Marcus, and having
made a success of all his business
ventures.
He has no delusiOns in regard
to the work needed in the legis
lature, and to the necessity OF this
county being strongly represented
in order to get proper attention.
As the next session will have the
road matter before it, Mr.. Has
kins has made himself familiar
with all the points of information
relative to this county s condition,
and it was this very interests in

harvest scene in Nottinghamshire,
England, where all the work is
being carried on by young women,
the men all being away at the war.
A vote for Hughes and the munl-
tions makers will bring the pic
ture Just that much nearer home.
An eye-opener for those who
still think that Wall street can
control the presidential voter, is
the report of the Literary Digest
investigation of the labor union
vote of the country. In its issue
of Oct. Z, reports were given
from 457 labor union leaders,
representing ia unions, as to the
way the members of these unions
are going to vote for president.
Out of the 457 officials reporting,
332 said that their members ia
vored Wilson, At found for Ben
son the socialist, 43 said their
members favored Hughes, and 81
believed the vote was evenly di-
vided, or were non-committal.
The 1916 tax payment which is
required by the state from Ste
vens county will be $69,659, ac-
cording to figures just received
by Assessor DOdson. This is a
one-third reduction from the
amount required of this county in
1913 before Governor Lister had
any chance to hold down appro-
priations. Tax money demanded
by the state from Stevens county
for previous years was: 1913,
$1O1, SOC; 1914, $97,527; 1915,
$4,000; 1916, $91,538. This
shows a gradual decrease as Gov
ernor Listers administration was
able to cut into the porkbarrel
funds, and is one startling reason
why his reelection is being so bit
terly contested by certain politi-
cal interests of the state. The
"easy money" is not easy under
Lister; while it takes less money
from the taxpayer, the farmer,
the laborer, the home owner, it
also brings less money into the
pockets of the state hangers-on at
the state capital.
The contest for governor OF
this state seems likely to develop
into a hard fight. The element of
political partisanship is being
gradually lost sight of in the
other issues which have been
brought to light in the campaign,
and just now it seems that the
wet and dry question is upper
most. The fact that Mcbride,
the republican nominee, has long
been known as wet sympathizer,
and that he was supported in 1908
by the liquor mems association,
the Royal Arch, is being strongly
urged against him by the drys of
the state, regardless of party
lines. In the primary, the anti
saloon league refused to indorse
Mcbride, giving an Endorsement
to only two men-Governor Lis
ter, democrat, and W. j. Sutton
who was beaten by Mcbride in
the primary. Now the dries who
supported Sutton are supporting
Lister and the vets who supported
other candidates are for Mcbride,
thus making a direct lineup, with
the brewery bill and the hotel
bill as buffer arguments.
1t hardly seems possible that
this state will ever again revert
to liquor control, or that either of
the liquor bills will pass. But it
has been promised that at the last
moment a considerable amount of
money will be put into the cam
paign for these purposes with an
effort to win, hence the present
spectacular fight for the advan-
tageous position of having a gov
ernor in full favor with the side
which wins.
A strong arraignment of the

Seeing that Mcbride, republi-
can candidate for governor, and
opposed to Governor Lister, has
come out in favor Of the drys since
nomination, the Bellingham Her
aid, republican paper, says:
"The liquor interests are, above
all things, practical. They are
opposed to local option in any
reasonable form. But they are
supporting Mcbride for governor.
WhyY Is it reasonable to believe
that they would be supporting
Mcbride unless they knew posi-
lively that he was favorable to
themY They are earnestly seek
ing the nomination of Henry Nc
Bride. John A. Mellquist, re-
corder of the Knights Of the Royal
Arch (the liquor order) in Belling-
ham, says that he knows that Nc
Bride will be favorable to the sa-
loon. How does he know itG 1t
is very unlikely that Mcbride
would be deceiving the liquor in
terests. The liquor interests have
been in politics for long time and
are not apt to be deceived where
their own interests are at stake.
Mcbride, then, must be playing
unfair with the public "

Saturday, Oct. %, has been set
aside as Wilson Day, to be OBJ
served by the people Of this coun-
try as a day upon which they will
pay their respects to the president
of the United States, and show
their appreciation of the great
public service he has rendered his
country. President Wilson is to
send message to his countrymen
which is to be read in every city,
town and hamlet. Buildings and
homes will display the flag, and
general recognition will be given
in honor of the man who has
faithfully and patiently guided
this nation through perilous times.

the protests of those foreign coun-

for individual profit desired to see
the United States take up arms in

Joseph II. Stemmer Of CheWe-
lah, democratic candidate for
county engineer, is a graduate of
the Michigan College of Mines,
took the degree of civil engineer
in 1903, and is 81 years of age
His engineering work has largely
been in the west, he having been
engaged in the location and con-
Struction of the S. p. & s. between
Portland and Spokane, and in the
location and construction of the
w. w. p. Co. interurban line be-
tween Cheney and Spokane. for
several years. He was in charge
of location and construction of ir-
rigation works at Bridgeport, and
also in the Methow valley. Later
he was assistant engineer of the
city of Coeff d'Alene, and became
city engineer of Chewelah years
ago, having gone there for that
city's street Improvement work.
County Engineer R. B. Thomas
prevailed upon him to take charge
Of the permanent highway con
struction work in this county, and
for four years he has given per-
feet satisfaction in this important
work.
Mr.. Stemmer experience COW
ers civil, hydraulic and municipal
engineering, besides which he has
done mining engineering, assaying,
and has been u. s. mineral sur
veyor. His record of results
makes him man worth securing
for this county's engineering Of

portunity to secure for county en-

successful experience.

C0L0RED CHAUFFEURs UNITE.
Step in Cooperative Alliance for
Commercial Preparedness.

As the first step in the formation OF
a cooperative alliance of colored In
dustry and commerce by a group OF
colored men active in advancing the
interests of their people, Charles M
Thomas of Miner Normal School, also
president of the colored association
of teachers here. has announced an
early organization of reputable and
reliable colored chauffeurs and auto
mobile mechanics.
The purpose of this movement Is to
raise the standard Of efficiency and to
set standards of conduct for the men
in this industry. Mr. Thomas sees. in
the present industrial cordition in the
United States, an opportunity for col
ored men to play an active part in the
real preparedness for American con-
test with rehabilitated European ma
tions after the war. whether in conflict
or in competition.

clude colored men and women engaged
in trades and occupations generally
throughout the United States are being

The Proposed Pension Provision.

To the Editor Of The Star
I ask for small space in your paper
to express my opinion regarding the
District of Columbia firemen and
police pension bill pending before Con-
gress While appreciating the efforts
of Congress to place the pension fund
on an adequate basis. / must point out
that the bill only calls for SO per
cent pension. or one-half pay. This, ac-
cording to my way of thinking, Is
worse than the existing law. because
almost all firemen or police pensioned
under the present law are granted $50
per month, which, 1 would say, is hardly
enough to maintain a man and small
family when taking in consideration
how the prices of household material
are soaring these days Speaking from
experience, can say, owing to the dis
abIed condition upon which l was PEN
stoned, l have hardly enough out of $50
pension, after defraying board bill and
doctors, to buy necessary clothing.

FIGHT PROMOTER
GIVES UP PLANS
FOR MAY CARDS

Inability to secure the Coliseum will
necessarily mean the cancellation of
the May % boxing show, Promoter
Barney Lichtenstadt, of Hagerstown,
informed a Palladium reporter this
morning. Lichtenstadt had all but
signed articles with Hal Stewart and
Charley White for the main mill when
he was informed that the Coliseum
would not be available for the card.
"Inasmuch as the Coliseum is the
only suitable place in Richmond for
the holding of a card of this calibre,
it will be necessary to give up all
plans for the fight at present. have
made repeated efforts to secure the
Coliseum, but without success" said
Lichtenstadt.
Local boxing fandom will be disap-
pointed to hear of the cancellation of
the mill, which promised to be the
best staged in Richmond for some
time.
