print shop. Both Chase and Chris
tianson are now only asking for a
return of the lifelong efforts they
have put forth in the behalf of friends
which they have boosted into Office
through the columns of their papers
1t seems, in looking over our ex-
changes, that the country press is
solidly behind these two.
However. Just about the time that
the country press was feeling its oats,
along comes one A. N. Jacobs IN a
sheet which bobs up every time there
is an election-to gobble up some pol
itical shake -downs-and puts them in
their place by viscious TRADE in his
state News" saying the country press
is suffering with superiority complex
in other words, that it cuts no Ice,
only in it's own opinion. Jacobs based
his assertion on the favorable mention
made of Governor Christianson in the
country papers, and in our opinion,
Jacobs is the one who cuts no ice.
There are not many who will listen TO
him and take seriously man con-
victed of criminal libel.

And yet, with all the dirt Jacobs
shoveled to the doors of the country
press, part of his assertions are too
true The country press uses time,
labor, paper and ink to extoll the vir-
tues of this, that and the other can
didate and when the editor, who has
helped some fellow into public office,
in many cases, is overlooked when any
thing which might benefit him is being
passed around Instead of having a
superiority complex, the larger part of
the country editors are suffering with
an inferiority complex. Instead OF

ACHIEVEMENT

Achievement in administration is
attained by constant work, good sup
ervision and cooperation of employees.
Starting with a handicap of different
financial entanglements is not always
the best. These were overcome by
knowledge and good judgement of
stresses. A man that can overcome
obstacles such as were encountered
by Jacob L. Pete are surely worth
while to remember when man needs
the backing to again show his good
judgement.
1t is known amongst corporations
and individual operators when you
get a good man, hold him" This is
the aim of the pete for Commits
sioner Club"
The making of promises seems to
have less effect than really doing the
thing.
1t seems that doing and sitting back
is better for the people than not doing
and sitting up.
The "Pete for Commissioner Club
is working for him. He would rather
do and sit back than not do and sit
up.

EMBELLISHMENTS Paradise.

Bill Bantleon, Roy Carlson, George
Dorr and Charles Hoefler struck out
for Sea Gull lake on the border last
Sunday morning in quest of salmon
trout, and they are expected home
Thursday night, presumably with the
limit allowed by the law
Sea Gull lake is famed as the habi-
tat of this particular species of trout,
and the boys have been there before,
most of them at least, and should have
no trouble in locating the necessary
spots to get their fish.
Barber Bill is chef and chief maitre
de camp and he had things all in
readiness for the long trek hours be-
fore the time came to depart.
Unfortunately there has been a lot
of rain this week and on Tuesday it
got cold enough to snow at the head
of the lakes, SO they may have to wait
until the snow melts before they can
get out to come home. All of these
fellows with the exception of Roy
Carlson are deer hunters and this
snow perhaps will not bother them
Roy however has had a lot of ex-
perience in the snow and will no doubt
rig up pair of skis for use if the
going gets too bad.-Pine County

SPORTS
BY Charles Gallagher

Sweepstakes won by w. d. Gallagher.
w. D. Gallagher shooting net score
of Sc, two strokes under the Shagawa
course par, won the inaugural sweep
stakes tourney last Sunday. Gallagher
led a field of thirty-four, nosing out
Mel Odgers, his nearest rival by three
strokes. Wilson Carlson finished in
third place with II, two strokes be-
hind Odgers. Several of the others
shot scores in the seventies and low
eighties.
All of the supposed to be" good
players blew up in the tourney and
most of them were considerably down
the list. The tourney netted $500 for
the winner, $500 for the second and
$500 for the third This may be
taken in balls clubs or lessons from
the pro. Another tourney will be held
this Sunday which will most likely be
another sweepstakes.
Gallagher scored a 102 and shooting
a So handicap, while Odgers shot
95 and Carlson 81, both playing with
a 26 handicap. One thing the tourney
did was to give MessrS. Bolitho, Carey
and Nankervis, the games committee,
something to work on in the idea of
handicapS.
Two matches have been arranged
with the Eshquagama club of Gilbert
one to be played here and one there.
The matches will be played off on
Saturday afternoon and should prove
very interesting Although the aEsh-
quagama golfers are considerably more
experienced and have several better
golfers in their club, if some of the
local boys are ION" they will surely
give them a run. The course here is
in excellent shape now, most of the
permanent tees have been seeded and
will be in use shortly. Il

telling the professional politician to
roll his own" the editor rolls 1t for
him absolutely free. AS we said be-
fore. Chase and Christianson are only
asking for a return of a few of the
compliments they lavishly passed
around when in the newspaper game.
An exchange, whose name we will
not mention, comes out with the
thought that IF some citizens Of
contribute ten dollars to the church,
they want first mortgage on an
angels harp" This puts us in mind
of the old story of the editor who
went to church the Sunday following
his sending out large number of
statements for long overdue accounts.
The first thing he saw was one of his
big debtors standing in the front and
singing louder than anyone, Jesus
paid it all, all the debts 1 owe." The
editor went right home and marked
the account paid but thought it queer
that he had not heard of the debt
assignment to the Lord.

ELABORATE AIRPORT
IS NOT ESSENTIAL.

William Mitchell of Tracy, Mime
sofa Legion AeronauticS chairman, in
supplying each Legion post with
sketches and instructions for painting
air identification signs on rooftops,
and for establishing temporary or per-
manent airports, says in part:
People generally do not realize how
valuable to an aviator it is to ascertain
his whereabouts by seeing below him
the name of a community with an
arrow pointing north. Knowing the
towns direction from his destination
enables him to set a true course.
"In painting more air indentification
signs and establishing airports, upon
which aviation progress depends,

great work in conjunction with other
civic bodies in their communities. No

JUDGE GUIE A CANDIDATE FOR
THE SUPERIOR BENCH

In his campaign for continuance on
the King County Superior Court bench,
Judge E, H, Guie has the active sup
port of host of friends, including
many leading members of the bar.
Since his appointment year ago by
Governor Roland H. Hartley, Judge
Cute has made an excellent record by
his sound and fair decisions, his back
ers point out. They feel that his
record and personal character entitle
him to election,
While Judge Guie believes in temper
ing justice with mercy whenever
circumstances warrant, he wastes no
sympathy on dangerous criminals.
Protecting society from its baser
elements is a solemn duty of the court, .
he says. Such protection cannot be
afforded by turning loose vicious men
and women so that they may resume
operations at the expense and safety of
honest citizens"
Resident of Seattle since 1890, when
he was admitted to the bar, Judge Cute
has served seven terms as representa-
tive in the state legislature. Twice he
was speaker of the house, in 1897 and
1921. He was born in Chester County
Pennsylvania, and was graduate from
Bucknell University in that state. He
and Mrs. Guie have two children, H
D. Cute of Yakima, world war
veteran, and Mrs. William C. Sprenger

"For years there has ben a continual
increase in the cost OF government
Some of 1T has been justified but much
of it is due to waste, inefficiency and
political expediency. Whatever the
cause, the taxpayer has always paid the
bill, larger every year. until 1t has
reached a point which in many cases
means confiscation.
"One of the offices responsible for
this increase is that of county treasur-
er. Since 1916 the expense OF that
office has increased 95 per cent while
the source of the county's income, the
tax valuation, has increased only 40
per cent, This is out of all proportion
II is safe to say that at least half of
the increase is due to politics and lack
Of business methods, So sure am I
that the increasing costs of the office
are not justified that have offered to
operate the office next year for at
least $4,000 less than the 1880 budget
allowance.
II have reiterated this statement
throughout the campaign and no one
has denied its truth. The best they
have been able to do is go into lot
OF generalities which mean nothing.
In my closing statement to the
voters want to reiterate the fact that
the only way to reduce taxes is to stop
spending the public money unnecessar-
lily. The treasurer's office will be a
good place to start.
My friends know am very sincere
regarding this and that am determin-
ed if elected to make the treastrer's
office an outstanding successful ex-
ample of a strictly business admins

the candidates for the Legislature. Too
often is happens the consideration due
legislature candidates is brushed aside
by the more noisy campaigns carried
on by those seeking county office. We
are apt TO forget the Legislature is the
place our laws are made, where many
millions of dollars are appropriated,
where if we are interested in state
road appropriations we must present
our demands and where we should
have representatives who know our
needs and who are interested and will
ing to go the limit in behalf of the
communities they represent. We are
especially fortunate this year in having
three candidates (three to be elected
who are familiar with conditions on the
Island. Men who most of us know.
c. F. tCharlie) Van Olinda needs no
introduction. While Charlie is any
thing but a politician it is safe to say
he will make good.
L. Y. Williams has served two terms
III the lower house with credit to him
self and to his district.
J. A. (Archie) McKinnon was
member of the lower house in the
session of 1923 in which I had the
honor of being a member and which
perhaps makes me better able 10 speak
concerning his qualifications than
those who have not had occasion to
work with him. l believe records will
show he never missed roll call. He
was always on the job, and few
members were quicker to absorb the
contents of bill. 1t was largely due
to his efforts that the present Blue
Sky" law was passed. The Natchez
Pass highway owes more to Archie
McKinnon than to anybody else. Two
former legislatures had appropriated
fifty thousand dollars toward this road,
but each time the appropriation was
allowed to revert to the state on ac-
count of the highway authorities
neglecting to start work. The road
committee had decided to reappropri-
ate the fifty thousand again but
McKinnon said we will accept no less
than one hundred and fifty thousand
with the express understanding the
money be actually expended ON the
proposed road. He got what he de-
manded and appropriations have since
been made to complete the road. I
mention this to show what it is posi-
BILE for member to accomplish if he
has the support of friends among the
membership. I would like to say right
here that am satisfied no man in his
first term in the Legislature ever made
more friends than did Archie McKinnon
and let me add it is not the man who
makes the flowery speech on the floor,
it is not the man who makes the big
noise BUT TT is THE MAN WHO
CAN COMMAND THE FRIENDSHIP
OF THE GREATEST NUMBER OF
MEMBERS WHO GETS THE THINGS
HE GOES AFTER. With the COM
bined efforts of our three candidates,
Williams, vanolinda and McKinnon
backed by Senator Walter J. Lunn, the
district is in position to command
recognition on measures in which the
people of vashon- Maury Island arc
most interested. Lets show the world
