ADOPT WEODELL's PLAN
City Water Committee Also COnsid.
ers Offer Of Kegley Spring at
Lacey.

Plans recently proposed by City
Engineer j. B. Weddell for the re-
juvenation and development of the
local water system were formally
adopted by the special water COM
mittee of the city council at a called
meeting Tuesday evening.
The committee also considered the
proposal of T. J. Kegley to purchase
the large spring owned by him in the
vicinity of Lacey and to develop it as
the source of the local supply, the
argument being that thereby the city
could establish a gravity system and
do away with the monthly expense Of
$500 for pumping. No definite &C
ton was taken, but it is probable
that a chemical analysis of the water
will be made and also a preliminary
survey to determine the elevation Of
the spring.
The committee also expects to in
vestigate the Summit Lake project
again, saying that it has not been
abandoned.

nominate Wilson; that is a foregone
conclusion. The Republican nominee
is problematical. There is a trend
over the country to name Roosevelt
Nothing more to the advantage of
Wilson could be done. Roosevelt has
powerful hackers, as he has always
had, and they are spending money in
the endeavor to swing the sentiment
in the direction of Oyster Bay. 1t
would be preferable to name a dark
horse to run against Wilson, Dark
horses have always had way of max
ing fine races. Garfield was a dark
horse, so was Harrison in his first
race, and Hayes was in the same class.
These dark horses were elected by
large majorities while such we'll
known leaders as Blaine went down
to defeat. A dark horse is likely to
show as much ability as the foremost
in the land. Leading lights
generally have large collection of
astute enemies who are waiting for
chance to undo them, while a dark
horse, being less prominent, has few
enemies and arouses the united en-
thusiasm Of the party. The Repub-
licans would not commit a blunder il
they groomed a dark horse to race it
out with Wilson.

The "Bureau Of IncOmpetency."
finland Empire News.)

NAAA0A0 X/A4RAA . ANO"SsJ
It seems to us that 1t is about time
that this bureau be abolished. We
that the matter of abol-
ishment was before the last legisla-
ture, but the repeal was defeated.
of course, can now be done
until the next session Of the legisla-
ture, but at least the state auditor
could appoint men who were not
always admitting" that they were in
the wrong and who were not what the
bill intended: experts.
Governor Lister has had more than
one occasion to call this board to ac-
count for it's errors, but they imme-
diately charged that he was playing
politics. 1t must now be sort Of
satisfaction to him to see that he is
being upheld by those who are not of
his political faith in exposing the in
competency of the board.
The state of Washington needs
men of the Lister stamp to assist in
warding OF the actions Of gang Of
political hangers-on who have infest-
ed the state capitol ever since 1t was
a capitol.

Who Is Backing Lee?
(Intermountain Register.

The question of "Who Is Backing
Lee" will not down, for it is pretty
we'll known by those who best know
him, that the money for his campaign
for the Republican nomination for
governor must be coming from some
other source rather than his own per-
sonal account. Lees record as a
member of the public service COM
mission under plutocrat Hay was very
satisfactory to the Stone-Webster cor
poration. 1t is naturally a logical
conclusion that his record as gover-
nor should he be elected, will be
pleasing.
Should Lee receive the nomination
he will have many things to explain
to the public before he is given q
chance to occupy the governors chair.
It may be that he will be able to sat-
answer them, but it is a
cinch that he will have plenty Of OPP
portunities.

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS
ARE TALKING ABOUT
Lister Entitled to Nomination.
douglas Co. Press.)

We hope that there will be no
Democrat so foolish as to enter the
primary against Lister. BY this we
DO not mean any Displacement to
any other Democrat in the state.
There are hundreds of Democrats
who would make excellent governors,
as good, perhaps, as Governor Lister.
Theer is no lack of timber, and good
timber. But just now Governor Lis
ter is by all odds entitled to a free
nomination. The Republicans have
become particularly venomous against
him and the reason is obvious. He has
been thorn in the side of the bunch,
and this war is to get him out of the
way and give free hand to the
bunch, and one who counsels a fight
on Lister is aiding and abetting that
bunch. But the real important thing
is that Governor Lister is the first
Democratic governor in the state
since John r. Rogers, and he has been
handicapped where Rogers was not.
Governor Lister has had to contend
with hostile legislature, which has
in taken pains to thwart him in every
endeavor of his business policies.
They have taken special pains to dog
and discredit him before the people
and are now in full cry after him.
Now to make fight on Lister in the
Democratic party is to give aid and
comfort to the enemy, and would
brand the Democrat who does it
along with the Hearst crowd in Mex
lea. The Sims Whitney McArdle
crowd is in full cry and we are too
much of Democrat to join the enemy
yet. Governor Lister is entitled to
the nomination and entitled to a.
Democratic legislature to help him
put his policies into action.

(Oroville Gazette.)

Some smooth, oily, plausible petit
ton peddlers will be approaching the
voters soliciting signatures for initia-
tive measures. Every one of these
solicitors will be out to get names,
and few will hesitate at any state
ment in order to get them. They are

approach. The man or woman who
signs such papers without carefully

gallons of water a day, enough water
to supply city of 1000 people, &C

Following the Same System.
(Colfax COmmoner.)

The Republican party organs are
receiving the same old instruction
that was issued to them during the
last campaign. to claim everything in
sight. During the 1912 campaign
word was issued to the Republican
newspapers, to claim a sweeping vic
tory for Taft, and 1t is ancient history
how well this order Of the bosses"
was obeyed. With every Republican
paper throughout the nation lined up
in full cry against the administration
the hope of the Republican leaders is
to create sentiment that will aid them
in returning the old guard to power.
The American people have grown ac-
customed to the cry Of rallying to the
support of the politicians and they
are viewing the new form Of political
Mysteries in the same manner as they
would witness the frenzied antics of
the outside performers Of fake side
show. For more than half century
the Republican party was in nearly
absolute control of the national and
state governments and when they
were finally excluded from power. the
country was in worse condition than
it was at the beginning of their reign.
II they were unable to do anything
for the country after all the years
that they were in power, their prom
ises of what they will do IL given an
other chance is not being taken Sc
riously by the American people. The
old system of promises that has been
used for the last quarter of century
to win elections for the Republican
party, has lost its vote getting quail
ties in the light of the results that
have been accomplished by the pres
ent administration.
