Ellsworth Sabin, l5 year old son of Mir. and Mrs. John P. Sabin. School street. was electroeuted, Tuesday eeening, when he jumped and grabbed hold of wire that had been thrown over and had come in contact with u wire of the Putnam Light X Power Company carrying 22,ooo volts of electricity. The boy fell to the ground unconscious. He was given first aid and then rushed to the hospital in an automobile, but life was extinct when he reached that institution and it is thought that he died almost instantly.
 Young Sabin and William Mansfield Jr. were stringing a wire to complete Sahin's wireless station. The boy was interested in wireless operation and had for some time had a station at his home Wishing to make his aerial higher he first obtained the permis- sion of the common council to cross the street from his home. The work was nearly completed. Sabin had asked Mansfield to help him complete the job. At first Mansfield said he couldn't do it, but finally took few to help Sabin finish the out fit.
 Mansfield was on top of the barn of H. E. Morse. The last wire was being strung, In order to cross Nichols street it was necessary to put the aerial wire over the wires of the Put nam Light X Power Company. Mans field on the barn tied stone to the end of the wire being strung aud gave 1t q toss over the electric light wire. The wire with the stone attached rested on the light wire, the stone dangling some feet above the road way.
 Sabin, standing in the street wait ng to receive the wire, jumped and grabbed the stone, giving the wire pull. As Sabin's feet touched the ground a circuit was formed and the ,urrent passed through his body. Mansfield saw Sabin stiffen out and

 When Mansfield reached Sabin he saw that he was breathing slightly. He tried artificial respiration for few minutes. Seeing Sabin's face wun changing color Mansfield, with aneth- CT man, put Sabin in an automebile and rushed him to the hospital. Sahin was dead when the automobile ar rived.
 John Sabin, the boys father. was in Providence. His mother knew noth- ing. of the accident until she was called from the hospital by Dr. Overlook. Mir. Sabin was located in Providcnce and rushed home in his car.
 Ellsworth was sophomore in the boy for his age and had grown rapid ly. This had caused serious state of health and he recovered from criti- cal condition few years ago, but his heart may have been weakened. He had missed much time from his school duties on account of ill health, but had grown much stronger recently.
 The Sabin family is prominent in this city and the news of the death caused sorrow among the family's large circle of friends and acquain- tances.
 Several other smaller boys were watching the operations of Sabin and Mansfield Mayor Marcy's son got near enough to the charged wire to get slight shock. There were no marks on the Sabin boys body except for an almost understandable burn in the palm of the right hand.
 There was sorrow and sympathy at the high school on Wednesday morn ing. Ellsworth was known to all of the students and was we'll liked by his

The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-02-27

the Gazette in a private letter very
sagely comments upon one of the
weaknesses of men in seeking office
more for the benefits that may accrue
to the office holders than for the good
said office holders may be able to ac-
complish for their fellow-men. He goes
OF with the following words of wisdom
which will appeal to all those who
wish to see more accomplished for the
common good through politics than
simply comforting honors upon those
who may be chosen to handle the reins
Of office. He says: What the world
needs what America needs, is a race
of men who have a passion to serve;
a devoted purpose to give, rather than
a race that desire only to get or re-
ceive. The whole political philosophy
of the age is founded on the idea that
governments are institutions that are
to be MIXED for the private and pub
lie benefit. Men seek office too fire.
quently for the immediate emoluments
thereof, or the opportunity the office
offers to forward personal ambitions
Of vanity and egotism. The public, or
a large part of it, looks upon the ma
chinery Of the government as an in
strument to be used to help class
programs or financial projects. Both
regard it as a means of getting bene-
fits Of some kind, not as a field in
which service may be given to the
country and mankind. There are So
called schools of thought which teach
that government should establish,
maintain and guarantee against loss,
loan institutions banks, systems of
distribution, manufacture, production,
etc. All those things should be done

A third party known as the triple
alliance has been launched in this
state. 1t is a side kicker for the nom
partizan leaEne and advocates the
same measures that that party has
foisted upon the state of North Da-
kota. There is no excuse for organic
ing a new party to secure reforms in
government in the state of Washing
ton. The same people who have been
active in the organization of the trip
pie alliance demanded and secured the
passage Of the referendum law in this
state, and heralded that measure as
the cur for all the ills that affect the
body polite. Under the referendum
law if there is any measure that these
discontinued people wish to place up
on the statute books all they have to
do is to obtain the signatures of a
comparatively small per centage of
the voters and if it has merit there
is no difficulty in securing a suffi-
cient number of votes at the first gen.
eral election to make that measure a
law. But such al easy and proper
