WHITMAN COUNTY sMISTAKE.

WHITMAN COUNl1 oMlOI AnE.
whitman county, Washington, is to
hsIyi a special election on next Friday,
.Ja9fiary Z. to elect senator in the
NisIh district to fill the vacancy
-ca1Bed by the resignation of DR.. G. A.
Cofplin, of Palouse, who was elected
in November, but resigned last week
to accept a government position. A
convention held at Garfield by few
republicans, nominated a young at
toCUey of Palouse as its candidate, and
de04ted F. ]. Wilmer, of Rosalia.
q The writer, having been intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Wilmer for 81
years, believes a grave mistake was
made Without saying anything dis
paraging of Mr.. Morrison, the nomi-
nee, we believe it was d mistake to
refuse to accept the services of a man
like F. ]. Wilmer who is, without any
doabt, one of the most capable men in
the state of Washington. Mr.. Wilmer
was an ''old settler" at Rosalia when
IS years he has been a resident of
whitman county there has never been
a time when he was not a leader in
every movement for the lettering of
cs@4ditions in that county and that
state. Mr.. Wilmer is man of fine
at1tinments, of wide acquaintance and |
much experience in public affairs, al |
Though he has never sought, but on
several occasions, has refused politi- !
cal preferment.
If the republicans of the Ninth dis
trict would elect Mr. Wilmer as a COL
league of Senator Oliver Hall, of the
Eighth district, Whitman county
would have in the state senate two of |
the ablest men in the state and they
would secure good legislation for their
cennty and for eastern Washington.
Few districts have the opportunity to
secure the services of as good a man
as Frank j. Wilmer for such an i'm
pertant post.

public hearings on the tax bill. Sen.
ator Penrose said. Business men who
wish to be heard will be granted pri.
vate audiences.
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon
will appear before the Senate com.
mittee September Z. and recommend
some changes In the measure.
The tariff group OF the agricul.
tural block In the Senate met with

init a definite tariff program that

ployed at the Veterans Bureau. Hav-
Ing worked in three different Govern
ment departments, / can truthfully
say that the Veterans Bureau. for
merly the War Risk Insurance, is the
hardeot working department d all.
Especially Is the Medical Division
most conscientious in it's work and
throughout the personnel you VIII
find q sincere desire to help the ex-
soldiers. We have been flooded with
work and after having been required
to work overtime a few weeks ago
find ourselves just as much in ar
rears as before.
For some reasons that have been
withheld from us. we are denied a
vacation, even one day OF annual
leave Is begrudged us by the officer.
Why is 1t when everyone else in the
bureau Ia talking about the vacation
they have just had, or about their
plans for a vacation TO be taken with
In the next few days. that we OF the
Medical Division must remain at our
desks day in and day out?
And so i ask you to help the girls
who are doing their best to help the
