PAVING CREW
WASHES STREET

The crew that is replacing the Has
sam paving on College avenue and
Main street put in the greater part Of
the afternoon Monday flushing the
street and getting it ready for the lay
ing of the covering top which is to be
put on this week. The man in charge
expects to make q quick job of it
when once they get under way. All of
the old covering has been removed.
Some of it was very good and this
has been carefully saved and is used in
ether places for the patching up Of the
streets. 1t was used on the street in
front of the Maine Central station and
found to be just the thing for that
street making it smooth and fine.

Kennebec Journal Ads
Give Practical HELPS

A S advertising took on this char
IA acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. Housewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come I'M
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If q merchant holds the at
tention and interest Of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the ADVERTISE
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

few people read advertisements

Advertising had not yet found it's

Much of it was neither informing

AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising imp roved,

IN HARMONY WITH GOVERNOR.

Governor Lister and the house and
senate leaders are working in close
harmony, and this, after the session
of 1915, is a delightful change. Some
idea of how deep-rooted this feeling
of cooperation between the admins
trative and the legislative branches
of the state is can be gained when an
analysis of the vote in the house to
change the personnel of the board of
equalization is made. The house
without dissension undid the work
of the last session and placed the
state tax commissioner on the board.
The McArdle bill removed this tax
commission, which consisted of three
members, but the house this year,
following the recommendation of the
governor, reduced the commission to
membership of one, and placed
that one on the board of equalization.

Attorney ~ Executive Official.

Attorney w. W. Manner has been
chosen secretary-treasurer of the
Thurston County Farm Loan Society,
according to an announcement made
this week by l.. l.. Snow, president Of
the board of directors, and will have
charge of the detailed work of the
organization in porfecting loans to
it's members.
The directors report that they
have forwarded to Spokane their ap-
plication for a charter for the local
society and expect to receive that doc
ument and complete instructions as
soon as the organization Of the dis
trict bank there is completed. The
society's appraisal committee also
plans to get busy soon appraising the
property of members and completing
the preliminary work necessary be-
fore loans can be granted.

q sentence Of from one to five years
in the penitentiary.
The bill also defines two separate
crimes. A "jointist" is person who
maintains a place where liquor is
sold, and a "bootlegger" is person
who sells liquor without any place
of business. When a person is con-
victed OF being "jointist" or a
"bootlegger," the authorities at the
penitentiary begin at once to set a
cell in order for the newcomer.
The bill was passed by the senate
Wednesday of last week, but the gov
ernor delayed signing it until 1t had
been passed upon by the attorney
general and until he had had an OPP
portunity to study 1t carefully him
self. He did this because he wanted
to make sure that no mistake had
crept into the measure, in which he
was greatly interested, because he
recommended the passage of such
legislation in his message to the leg
Mature.

GOVERNOR VETOES EMERGENCY
CLAUSE.

Governor Lister Saturday regis
tered his first veto of the present ses-
sion in disappearing the emergency
clause attached to senate bill 80,
while approving the rest of the bill.
This was introduced by Senator D.
H. Cox of Walla Wala, and provides
that the output of grain sacks from
the penitentiary jute mill shall be
sold on Q pro rata apportionment to
grain, oyster and wool growers, ac-
cording to the amount of each prod
uct produced by the individual ap-
plicant to the state board of control
for sacks manufactured at the peni-
Tertiary tute mill.
Governor Lister took exception to
the emergency clause on the ground
that the state board of control has
already taken action under existing
law that will equitably govern the
distribution Of products of the peni-
Tertiary jute mill and that the act is
not necessary for 1.-The immediate
support of existing public institu-
TONS"
The governor believes that the Cox
bill is fairer than the present method,
but at the same time he does not be-
lieve that the bill is of such imme-
diate necessity that 1t requires an
emergency clause. 1t is more for
the purpose Of drawing attention to
his attitude on emergency clauses
than for any other reason that the
executive vetoed that feature of the
bill. He took the first harmless bill
In sight and served notice on the leg
islature. II he holds steadfastly to
this course, 1t is held that the emer-
gency clause on such bills as the first
aid bill, II passed by the senate. will
be vetoed by the governor.

DEATH PENALTY RE.ESTAB-
LlSHED.

In debate that was both serious
and lengthy the state senate Tuesday
reached the conclusion that the death
penalty Tor murder, taken out of
Washihgton's statutes in 1913,
should be reinstated. The vote on
the roll call that followed the discus
sion showed Just % votes in favor
and Is against. When a proposal by
Senator johnson of Spokane to tack
a referendum clause had been cleared
away. Senator Steiner of King, one
of those holding objections to the
penalty. attacked the bill by amend
ment. But Senator Nichols of King
put in the amendment finally adopt
ed, under the text of which any per-
son convicted of murder is to be
hanged, unless the jury chooses to
reduce the penalty to life imprison-
ment.
