The Watershed Victory

Nothing the house of representatives at Olympia has
done at this session is worthy of comparison with its de-
feat yesterday of Senator Taylors watershed bill.
To the surprise of in the state discovered
that the house has a conscience-at times.
And It's conscience stirred yesterday. II voted
against the contamination of Seae water system despite
Senator Tayors handmaden in the house. Representative
Walter Lunn 1t voted against the despite the
scenceless attitude of such representatives Adamson of
Snohomis and Locke of Grays Habor who having been
assured the bill would not affect systems in their
districts sought to impose the bill on Seattle nevertheless
In passing The Star believes the credit for the defeat
OF the bill is due to large extent the unseshness of
the medical profession in Seattle
Like man, the physicians responded to the emergency
From purely selfish standpoint the doctors had every
thing to gain if the health of the city were impaired by
the Taylor BILL They had pecuniary benefits to gain
II the bill lost out Yet they fought aggressivey and
loyalty against the passage of the measure
1t was of pure unselfishness and splendid SER
vice to the public.
In the fight The Star put up against the watershed
road BILL it was happy to know it had the support of
these splendid men. -

Would Be Governor.

During his visit in Washington, At.
torney General E. T. England awaited
himself of the opportunity to discuss
with Republican leaders here his gu
bernatorial boom. They report that
General England talked to them very
much like man who was strongly Of
mind to formally enter the contest
next year. That was undoubtedly the
impression he left with this CORE
spondent. He talked very confidently
OF an outcome favorable to his candi-
dacy should he take the step. He
made no secret Of the fact that he had
been neglecting no opportunity nor
wasting any time lining up his friends
in various parts of the state, tighten
ing up and strengthening the large per.
sonal organization that he had when
he made the successful race in the pri-
mary and at the polls for the office he
now so acceptable fills.
On the subject of this nomination,
within the past few days the West
Virginians in Washington have been
discussing another name Of a strong
probability. Information has come to
them direct that State Auditor Darst
is at work building up his fences. That
brings the list OF gubernatorial sub
jects under discussion here up to six.
They are: Edward Cooper. Of Bran

burg; Herschel G. Ogden. Of Wheel
ing; E. T. England, OF Logan; Fred 0.
