TRUAX, FOR JUDGE,
SPOKEN OF HIGHLY

Below we reprint an article from
the Washington State Journal-Tim
of Ritzville of August II, 1916,
giving an analysis Of the character
and qualifications of John Truax,
candidate for superior Judge, from
the viewpoint of the people of his
faome community:
John Truax is a candidate for
Judge. We believe he ought to be
elected. We wish to endorse him
without reserve for this high office.
In our judgment he combines in
rare degree the essential qualities
of Judge. He is we'll equipped
intellectually for the office. He is
a graduate of the law depar tment
of the University of Michigan. an
institute whose law faculty has for
years been one of the most distin-.
guished of any law school in the
country and whose students have
won unusual honors in all branches
of the profession. Besides thor
ougt1 legal knowledge he has a
broad general education. He was
for several years a teacher and the
interest in things intellectual which
that profession more than any other
stimulates has continued with him.
His outlook upon life is broad with
out being vague; his mind is quick,
yet possessed stability.
To thorough preparation he adds
the knowledge gained from many
years of experience. For ten years
he has practiced law in this city.
He has handled all kinds of cases ::
civil suits, probate cases, criminal
cases, etc. He was for four years
prosecuting attorney for the county
and made an excellent record in
administering that office. AS a
lawyer he has steadily progressed
III his profession, developing great
ability in his preparation and hand
ling of cases at bar. He is hard
and consistent worker, systematic
in his methods of work. AS a re-
suit of his diligence and his ability
he has built up large practice.
The personal character and pri-
vate life of Mr.. Truax will stand
the closest scrutiny. He is man
clean in his living and honorable
and upright in his dealings. He is
man oe integrity and high ideals.
He is neither opinionated nor dog
matte, yet he has convictions and
the courage to express them. The
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1916-10-27
How to Initiate Measures.

Many voters seem to have no
very clear conception of the princi
Piles of direct legislation, or, to
state it better; of the process. I'm
der our law there are several ways
of placing legislation before the
voters.
1. A measure may be initiated
to the people, requiring signatures
equal in number to ten per cent of
the vote cast at the last preceding
election. This is the process by
which Initiative No. "a, known as
the Brewery Bill, reached the bal.
lot.
@. A measure may be initiated
to the legislature, requiring the
same proportion of signers. This
was the process by which Initiative
No. 10, known as the Hotel Bill,
reached the ballot. The legisla-
ture to which it was referred
passed it on to the voters.
8. A measure may be referred to
the people after having been
passed by the legislature, and in
this way held up or made ineffect-
i've until the voters have passed
upon it. This is the manner in
which all the Referendum Meas
ures reached the ballot this year.
There are seven of them. passed by
the legislature OF 1915, three of
them over the veto of the governor
and four that were signed by him.
One of the referred measures, No.
g, known as the Badget Bill, re-
ceived every vote but one in both
branches of the legislature.
a. The Constitutional Amend
ment is proposed by the legislature
to the people and this year we have
one i'm this state regarding the
qualification Of voters and provid-
ing that only taxpayers shall vote
at elections where bonds are voted,
OF public debt, for which property
is liable, is created.
Voters who favor these methods
of direct legislation should give the
measures the same degree of inves.
tigation that they expect their leg
is,ators, elected each two years, to
give to laws that are proposed in
the legislature. Otherwise the
privilege Of direct legislation will
naturally become imperative as g
means of expressing the studied
opinions of the mass Of voters
Laws are too important to be idly
or carelessly adopted or rejected.

Watch for Marked Duck

If you kill or capture wild
duck bearing an aluminium band
around one leg, having number
on one side, and on the other a
statement requesting that the Unit
ed States Depar 'ment of Agricul-
ture, or the Biographical Survey,
be notified, you are requested to
send this band at once to the Bu-
reau of Biological Survey, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington,
D. C. This band, if accompanied
by statement as to date, place
and circumstances under which the
bird was taken, will be Of service
to the Survey in it's efforts to de-
termine the longevity Of individual
ducks and the routes Of migration
of tie species. TIE bands are be-
ing attached to considerable num-
hers of wild duck Of several species
which have been cured Of the duck
sickness prevalent around Great
Salt Lake, Utah, and there re-
leased. The department is partic-
ularly anxious to secure reports
from these birds to determine their
complete recovery from this mala-
dy which has killed hundreds Of
thousands of ducks in Utah.

WILL PLANT MANY
TOMS EARLY SPUDS

white Bluffs ranchers will plant
ten tons of early potatoes next
spring and probably twice that
amount of late, or main crop, tub
ers, and will market them, in all
probability. through a marketing
association similar to that at Rich
land.
At a meeting held at the school
house Monday night, the ranchers
signified their intention of plant
ing early spuds and while definite
organization was not effected, a
.spud committee consisting of S. ".
flaming, w. H. Keal and Roderick
Spragaae were appointed to start
the preliminaries looking to secur-
ing seed.
AS "a result, MIR. Bonn of the
Produce has decided to order ten
tons of Earliest-of-All seed for de-
livery here on the steamer Teal due
about Nov. LIST. A very reasonable
cash price has been made to those
who will take the seed now on the
bleach at the steamer landing. Mr..
sly of the Produce company ex-
presses the belief that seed potato
pmces will go much higher.
Lee Lampson, county agricultur-
ist, presided at the meeting Mon
day might and gave a highly in
structiye talk ON potato growing
and marketing. He advised the
preparation of the ground this fall,
the early purchase Of seed, and for
the later spuds, the use of healthy
home grown seed in preference to
imported seed of doubtful or I'M
known origin.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1916-10-27

fact that he has served as men,
Der of the legislature from this
county and is now serving as a
member of the city council Of Ritz
Vile indicates the esteem in which
he is held.
But besides character, learning
and experience, person to succeed
as judge must have we'll poised
mind. He must have the ability
to weigh causes, to reserve conclu-
sions until the evidence is all in.
And it is because Mr.. Truax pos
sesses the conservativeness Of judg-
ment, that balance whereby reason
checks impulse, that clearness of
thinking which penetrates trivial
or extraneous facts to the heart Of
an issue, that the Journal-Times
endorses him heartily for the posi-
tion of Judge.
The man whom we elect judge
must decide the rights of persons
to property, and liberty. He holds
in his hands the dispensing of JUS
tice among men and women. No
one should be elected judge unless
he is qualified to deal honestly and
justly. We endorse Mr.. Truax be-
cause we believe him pre-eminently
qualified to discharge the duties of
the office to which he aspires.

Revival in School

1t is reported that a revival of
religion is going on in the public
school at MIddlebrook. Some two
weeks ago Rev. Blevins, the pastor,
assisted by Rev. Mcclure of this
city, held a meeting there, with but
little visible results. The next day
after the regular meeting closed,
however, some of the school chill
dren decided that they would have
a revival OF their own during the
recess hours. About the second
day some of the older ones be-
came really in earnest about the
matter and as a result the pastor
and local preachers were called IN
and the meeting Is still going on.
Everybody in the community is IN.
terested and quite a number of con.
versions have been rep jrted.
The school is being taught by
Miss Ethel johnson.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
THE S-HOUR BILL

Washington, Sept. 3-The great
railroad ST. ike has been ayerted.
The Adamson eight hour bill, pass
ed by Congress last week, was sign.
ed by President Wilson today aud
produced the desired effect OF avert
ing what looked 10 be the greatest
strike m the history Of the United
States.
That there may be no question rs
to the legality Of the measure As a
result Of IT'S having been signed on
Sunday, the president will atfix bis
signature again upon his return 10
Washington next Tuesday.
How long peace shall reign as a
result Of the bill apparently is de-
pen lent upon developments IN the
proposed move TO test the constltu
tionahty of the act. Should the
railroads take no action, but await
the beginning Of an Investigation
of the workings Of the eight-hour
day by the special commission for
which the measure provides, the
brotherhoods will remain inactive,
The employees leaders declare,
however, that should the law be
held unconstitutional and the rail-
roads attempt to restore the ten
hour day on their lines, a strike
will follow promptly.
brotherhood heads IN a circular
letter to their members today made
no comment on the measure as
passed.

The Church Picnic

The picnic gwen on Chautauqua
grounds Monday evening, under the
auspices of the Missionary Society,
Sunday school and Epworth league
Of the Methodist church, was well
attended and the occasion was a
most enjoyable one. Besides the
members OF the societies quite a
number Of visitors were present to
enjoy TIE nice luncheon and the
fun. The only objection that
could be urged concerning picmcs
of this kind is that we don't have
them often enough. They are cal.
culated to do much good IN brIug-
ing the young people together and
affordlng them a splendid oPpor
tuuity to enjoy themselves in inno'
cent amusement. 1t seems to us
that a capital idea would be to
have a union picnic of all the
churches occasionally, and thereby
bring all closer together in church
work.
