WE'RE ABOUT

OF POLITICS

State politics, especially CAM

in perk up within the week after

a. go days before primary day.
Governor Hartley has been un-

mouths. but some of his counsel

vointed just before election. Con-
sequently, Mr.. Hartley is expected

It is not likely, however. that
taere will be any fireworks from
Z l. French, chief challenger for
the Republican nomination. Mr..
Trench is not the rousing type.
But his supporters, many of whom
"a primarily displeased with Mr..
Hartley, may be expected to car
. the fight toward the Hartley
camp. In fact. the French cam
nisn needs a dash of color. Sher-
IL Bannick of King county, the
t1ird Republican aspirant, is al
q promising to enliven his cam
laien, but the most competent OBJ
sewers are agreed that it won't

1oes. So far as the Republican
summation is concerned, it's a

Then there is Charles L. Nc
Kenzie of Whitman county, the
third Democratic candidate, Mr..
MeKenzie's handicap IS that he
is hardly known on the West side
where the votes are the most
plentyful. It is likely that, he will
receive fair vote in his own neck
of the woods, but the common inn
preston is that his chief contri-
button in the primary will be in
weakening Mr.. Chadwick in the
Palouse country.
Since candidates for the SUI
preme court usually show up long
before filing time. which opens
Friday, it is being assumed that
Chief Justice Mark Fullerton of
Colfax, Justice Emmett Parker of
Tacoma and Justice Walter Beals
of Seattle will be reelected by ac-
clamation. so there are no rivals
In sight, and there seems to be a
general disposition to the effect
that Justices Fullerton and Park
er, who have served 20 and 10
years respectively, have establish
ed their worth and should be saved
the cost and physical wear of a
campaign. In the case of Mr..
Beals, who was recently appoint
ed by Governor Hartley. the feel
ing is that he is the making of a
good justice and would be hard
to defeat.
But Justice o. r. Holcomb, who
halls from Ritzville, has a fight on
his hands. He is being contested by
Bruce Blake of Spokane and Pres
ton M. Troy of Olympia. The 8 are
of the democratic political faith,
which adds to the looming fight.
The voters will not be bothered
by any initiative or referendum
measures on the November ballot,
but will have to pass on a propos-
al to amend the constitution to
permit the Legislature to classi-
fy property for purposes of taxa
tion.
The absence of initiative or ref
erendum measures suggests that
the people of Washington are not
disposed to indulge wholesale in
the business of direct legislation.
Since 1914, ballot titles have been
granted for 55 initiative bills, of
which IA were submitted to the
viters. resulting in only one mi
tiative law-statewide prohibition.
On the other hand, the people
have used the referendum to kill
16 referred measures. Of three
referendum bills, which originate
in the legislature, the people
adopted only one-the $12, 900, 900
bond issue for a soldiers bonus.
Yet while the people are not
inclined to use these direct-action
agencies, retention of which has
already cost more than $3.50, GOO,
they do not seem to be in the
mood to discard them, but chiefly
to retain them as tip to the leg
islature not to get too gay.
Four candidates are already out
for the office renounced by Lieu
tenant Governor Lon johnson,
promising a lively contest for the
joint job of under governor and
president of the senate. The con-
testants are Senators "Billy" Con-
ner and Paul Houser of King
county, both of whom are of the
Hartley fold, but making faces
at each other;Victor Zednick of
Seattle, who is secretary Of the
senate, and Sam Summer of Wen
atdhee. Republican state chair,
man. There is still some talk Of

quite frequently incriminated as
means OF transmitting infection.
A recent severe epidemic of
septic sore throat was milk
transmitted epidemic. Many of us
can remember when milk used to
be brought to the house in large
can and poured from that can into
j bucket which the householder
left on the porch for that purpose.
The development OF the milk
bottle with the sanitary sealed
paper cap was a great advance in
cleanliness and III protection. The
washing Of the bottles constituted
a problem, because the cleanliness
of this package is an indication TO
the consumer of the care taken in
the operation OF the plant from
which the milk comes.
Several states have laws cover
ing the proper handling of the
bottles, which vary from a mere
statement that the bottles must be
thoroughly cleansed to regulations
requiring rinsing and cleaning
viii chemical solutions and steril-
| izing with steam.
Most of the authorities are con
| rinced that chemicals cannot be
relied on to destroy germs. such
as these of tuberculosis. and that
sterilizing with steam is the safest
method
Other observers are convinced
| that the chlorine disinfection per-
! formed by immersing the bottles
in chlorine solutions is prefer
! able method. because there is
much opposition to the use OF
! steam or hot water above 40 de-
! grces +. II would seem that the
ideal method has not yet been de-
veloped.
The consumer, however. should
be sure that the milk comes to
him in a bottle that has been thor
oughly washed and which is not
contaminated by chemicals left IL
the bottle.
Proper attention In the dairy 'e
the care of the package is an indi-
cation Of carefulness all along tn,
line in milk handling.

Women Return
Want to Get Back Their
Citizenship.

Paris, Aug. II R-Fifteen thou

eigners want to get back the French
citizenship lost when they married
only fifteen thousand" cry the
French newspapers. And the thou
sands of others had only until Auu-
ust 10 to declare before 4 justice
Of the peace that they desired to be-
come French again.
France wants these women. De-
population and 4 low birth rate
make so many possible mothers sc
much wealth for the state. Last
year a law was voted to make pos
sible their refrigeration into French
nationality. The law allowed them
one year to make declaration OF
their desires. This year was ul
August 10.
The chancellery has received l5,-
900 such requests. The law reads
that any Frenchwoman marrying q
foreigner may declare her intention
of remaining Of French nationality
There is also a retroactive clause
giving the option to all Frencn-
women married 10 foreigners since
1914 to make their declaration
within one year.
Some of the completely OF the
situation may be illustrated BY 4
simple example. A French"oman
