MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Brooding over her ill health which
she firmly believed would take her to
an early grave, and worrying over
what would become of her young son
after her death, Mrs. E. E. Hess OF
Johnson Creek, a highly esteemed pio-
neer woman of the OkanOgan country,
became suddenly deranged Sunday
morning and shot her II year old son
Roy in the head with 1920 rifle, and
then turned the gun upon herself and
committed suicide.
The tragedy occurred about six
o'clock while Mr.. Hess and their older
son were away from the house milking
the cows. When they returned, they
found the dead bodies, the boy with a
part of his head blown off and the
mother with a bullet hole diagonally
through the body, entering at the abb
domen and coming out near one OF the
shoulders. Evidently the boy was not
from his sleep, and the
mother died instantly with the eXplo-
sion of the gun.
The county authorities were notlhed
and Sheriff Stark and Prosecuting At
torney Johnson went to the scene OF
the double tragedy and made an in
vestigation. The case was clearly one
of murder and suicide and the officials
decided at once that an inquest was
unnecessary.-Okanogan Independent

PRIMARY ELECTION,

The primary election takes place ON
Tuesday, September IL. In order to
vote, you must be on the registration
books. 1t Is the paramount duty Of ev-
cry elector to take part in the selection
of candidates for office. The primary
law was framed for the purpose Of
taking out of the hands of conventions
the power to select candidates for var
ious offices, It being held that more
competent material could and would
be selected II left to the entire electo-
rate. The hackers of the law were no
doubt sincere, but experience goes to
prove that on the whole the old con-
vention system, rank as its methods
sometimes were, made better select
ions Of candidates than have been the
rule under the primary law. 1t Is i'm
possible for the voters to meet and get
acquainted with all the candidates and
they must take many Of them on trust.
Unfortunately the ease in which a man
can secure a place upon the ballot Is
an incentive for every one wishing to
get before the public to file for office.
and hence the unworthy as we'll as
the worthy are out for office at every
election. Let the voter this year look
into the record of those especially rum
ming for state and congressional office.
and support only those whom they be-
lieve to be worthy Of high and re-
sponsible trust.

experience, which fits him for the du-
Ties OF the office to which he now as
pres. He was elected member of the
house of representatives of this state
from Spokane in 1911, and made such
creditable record that he was return
ed TO the legislature as senator In

motion. In both branches of the state
legislature Mr.. Croft stood the peer
OF any member of those bodies. and he
was recognized everywhere as a leader
among his associates. The Seattle Post

r. N. Goodwin Of Spokane, one of the
galaxy of republican candidates for
congress from the Fifth district, spent
a few hours in Oroville Saturday on q
tour OF the district that he is ambitious
to represent in the lower house of con-
gress 1t would seem impossible to get
together anywhere in the state seven
candidates better fitted for congress
sional honors than the seven candi-
dates running for nomination for con-
gress | this district, and Of the lot Mr..
Goodwin is not the least fitted from
the point of natural ability and expert
ence in places where experience counts
In fashioning man for this particular
office. That he has been eQuipping
himself for any position that the peo-
pie might call upon him to fill is prov
en- 1y the line of public activities that
have made demand upon his time and
ability during the past twenty years.
He was clerk of house committee in
congress, and hence is not stranger
to the ropes that are to be pulled by q
Fe0fsxfessman. He has been editor and
manager of the Baltimore Journal Of
Commerce chief of field division U. s.
general land office in northwestern
states, chief deputy prosecuting attor-
ney of Spokane county, and special as
sistant to U. s. attorney general. Aside
from these employments Mr.. Goodwin
personally is very amiable and pleas
ant gentleman, the whole being COM
bination that is found most advantage
Gus for the usefulness Of member
of congress. With the multiplicity Of
candidates in the field for this partcu-
lar office, a nomination is an uncertain
gamble, but should the prize fall to
Mr.. Goodwin, and he should subse-
quently be elected the people of the
district would never find cause to COM
plain of their choice.
