Wliy. we ask. are not all the

It they were, we believe there
would be less call on our soions
for roort laws.
For Instance, there is the law
passed by the last Legislature
providing; for voting machines

of the patriotic gentlemen, who
are meeting at balem today, to

another law providing for its

We have Interviewed a num.

subject of voting machines, and
while they are by no means in

Geo. Chamberlain, the w. k.
8enator, said that next to bis
portable post of duty his voting
machine la his one best asset.
"I have had one In the house
for years and wouldn't be with
out U." he said. "It has con
tributed .much to my success In
life, and the one I have works
perfectly not only with Dem.
votes, but with any other old
kind."
The fatal defect In the law was
that the last Legislature neg
lected to Include an appropria
tion In Its provisions.
An appropriation is the very
life-blood of any law. and such
an oversight is enough to kill
the best law ever passed.
We hope no such blunder will
happen this session, and feel
that our trusty soions will do
their best to see that it doesn't.

CENTRAL.IA, Wash., Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.) The Ceptralia City Commission
is endeavoring- to effect a settlement of
the strike at the Eastern mill. A
meeting was held Friday afternoon be
tween the Commissioners and repre
sentatives of each of the local unions,
but there were no definite results and
another meeting was held yesterday
afternoon between the commission and
officers of the timber workers' local.
At this second conference the com
missioners urged that 'the strike be
called off unconditionally, after which
a conference be held with the, mill
officers to reinstate the strikers as
there is room for them. The commis
sion thinks the mill company will
agree to make this concession.
The strikers' officers appeared to
favor this plan, but were dissuaded by
W. H. Stackhouse, a local Socialist
who Is said never to have worked at
the mill, but who has been one of
the strike leaders since the trouble
started. As a result nothing of im
portance was"'accomplished. . ,
At the meeting Friday afternoon
Stackhouse asserted that the strike is
now based on the right of the men to
deal collectively with the mill officers.
He said that the wage quetsion is no
longer an issue and that the men are
wjllfng to return to work . at the
present wage scale.
H.. C. Farris, one of the strikers,
whose argument impressed the com
mission favorably, said that the strik
ers are not asking for a closed shop
and that they would have no objection
to nonunion men being employed once
the strike is settled.

Official Quits Unceremoniously..
PASCO. Wash.. Jan. 10. (Special.)
T. J. Clark, who has been court com
missioner here for the past four or
five years, left town recently, unknown
to his friends. His disappearance was
unnoticed for several days, and it is
said that lie wrote recently from a
Coast cits, announcing that he was
embarking tor fcoutn America. Mr.
Clark was a candidate for the appoint
ment as judge to succeed Judge Hol-
icomb for this district
trip from Portland in October, 1893, ar
riving at Queenstown 117 days later.
Her next voyage from Portland to
Queenstown was in January, 189S, and
took 124 days.
Record Is Made.
In August, 1896, she made the run to
Algoa Bay, South Africa, in 87 days,
which is still the record for that dis
tance and voyage. In 1906 the Clack
mannanshire made her slowest passage,
consuming 119 days on a trip to Aus
tralia. In 1908 she had slowed down to
1J7 days on a run from Portland to
Queenstown. leaving out ln January.
She has just returned and will sail
again this month, as she did on nearly
all her previous trips.
The Clackmannanshire was listed
from Balla Balla and nobody knew
where the place was until the ship ar
rived. All sorts of guesses were tried,
but the skipper himself was the first to
announce that Balla Balla is in Aus
tralia. Aid for Islanders Sought.
Captain Herbyson is trying to get
food and xjlothes for the destitute Pit
cairn Islanders. Pitcairn Island is
tropical rocky Island in the middle of
the Pacific. It has 175 Inhabitants be
sides the Polynesian natives. Of these
only four are full-blooded whites.
The island Is under the British gov
ernment. which has sent the Algerlne
or some other British naval vessel an
nually to look after the welfare of the
inhabitants, but the war has probably
rendered this Impossible this year.
Easter Island, not far from Pitcairn
Island, is even more Isolated. It has
only one resident and he raises sheep,
Tho island belongs to Chile.
The Clackmannanshire will call In at
Pitcairn Island on her way to England
as Captain Herbyson promised that he
would bring aid to tne residents.
