SEATTLE TIMES
BOOSTS BRIDGE
Subscribes $1,000 and Calls on
Nine Other Firms to Match
It's Subscription

The Seattle Times in its Sunday is
sue devoted most of its front page to
a news and editorial boost for the
proposed Kennewick-Pasco bridge. 1t
carried four column illustrations
showing the cross-state routes OF
travel and the Kennewick-Pasco ferry
at it's landing on either side of the
river.
{, The writer of the news article de-
clares that Seattle is losing $5OO,OoO
of tourists money every month be-
cause most of the travel goes from
WalIa Walla to Portland rather than
cross the Columbia by ferry.
The Times first-page editorial
says:
"The Pasco-Kennewick bridge across
the Columbia river in Eastern. Wash
ington must be built.
"More, it will be built-just as soon
as the remaining $4,000 of Seattle's
allotment of the bridge bonds has been
subscribed.
"The ferries over the streams at
this and other points are utterly In
adequate. The approaches, changing
with the rise and fall of the river,
are dangerous. IL Il o.
"This fact is known to tourists COM
ing into the state of Washington from
eastern points. Some. of the more
hardy continue on from Spokane to
Seattle, taking chances on the ferries.
"Others- an increasingly large
number-turn off at Spokane and go
to Portland via Pendleton. Western
Washington thus becomes, in effect, a
WAY-STATION on the. automobile
road to the Pacific.
"The Importance of this improve
ment is appreciated everywhere ap-
parently except in Seattle. Cities and
villages along the various travel routes

POOR TYPE OF LEGISLATORS
Some Reasons Assigned for the A.
sertion That Lawyers Do Not
Make Good Lawmakers.

, Lawyers, as q class, should Of
course be represented in any legisla-
ture, but their enormous over-repre-
sentation in congress involves disas-
trOus consequences, according to
Great American Issues" by John
Hays Hammond and jeremiah jerks.
Observation of lawmaking bodies in
many countries leads to the conclusion
that lawyers make a most unsatisfac-
tory type of legislators. 1t is not that
they lack intelligence but that the
whole course of their professional
training and practice tends to unfit
them to play an important part in con-
structive enterprises of any kind.
Throughout his career a lawyer is &C.
cupied, not with the realities Of things
but with the appearance they may be
made to bear in legal argument; not
with the consequences which flow
from an action, but with the legiti-
macy of its origin. He Is always con-
cerned with the past as d source Of
precedent rather than with the fu-
ture as q field for achievement. Pend
ing legislation is often to the lawyer
something which will later be dis
cussed and interpreted by lawyers, in
stead Of an instrument designed to eff
feet definite practical aim. 1t is
largely due to the lawyers attitude to-
ward legislation and to the influence
It has exerted upon the form and tex
ture of enactments that so many laws
passed for the purpose Of removing
abuses in our economic and industrial
system have, until recently resulted
In many lawsuits and little reform.

THE STATESMAN

The statesman throws his shoulders
back and straightens out his tie,
And says, "My friends, unless it rains
the weather will be dry"
And when this thought into our brains
has percolated through,
We common people nod our heads and
loudly cry, How true!"
The statesman blows his massive nose
and clears his august throat,
And says, "The ship will never sink
so long as it's afloat."
Whereat we roll our solemn eyes, APP
plaud with main and might,
And slap each other on the back, the
while we say, Hes right"
The statesman wakes stern and warm,
his drone becomes roar,
He yells, II say to you, my friends,
that two and two make fourw
And thereupon our doubts dissolve,
Our fears are put to rout,
And we agree that here's man who
knows what he's about.

PRACTICAL METHOD OF
CULLING OUT POOR LAYERS

the year. When single culling is
made the best time 10 do 1t is in
August or September.
Before carrying the birds through
another season keep the following
rules in mind when making your selec-
tons:
Market those which seem to lack
vitality.
Keep The late molltcr>.
Hens with pale vents, pale beaks
and pale legs have been good layers.
Keep the puIlelS which mature
quickly and start laying first
4 good layer is Il hustler, Il ru>tIer,
and hearty eater She goes TO roost
late with Il full crop
Save the hens with Thin. well spread
pelvic bones. that are wide between
the pelvic bones aud rear end Of keel.
Gull the hens with thick. or coarse,
stiff pelvic bones which are close to-
gether with small spread between pei
vic bones and rear end of keel.
In the medium and large breeds the
end Of the second laying season should
be the limit of age In the selection
for future egg production, Plymouth
Rocks. Wyandotles, Rhode Island
Reds. Orpingtons. Brahmas, and
LangshanS come in this class. The
smaller breeds, such as Leghorns,
Minorca>. Anconas, Compines. may be
kept for year longer or a third lay
ing season As rule it does not pay
to keep hens any longer unless they
are known to he exceptionally good
breeders.
