declared a willingness to run' for the
senate and as strong as any of those
who have been mentioned from time
to time. ' .
Public Interest Keen,
In the course of a long residence in
the northwest Judge Griffiths has
given much time to public affairs. He
came to Oregon In 1888 and was ad
mitted to the practice 'of law in that
state. In 1889 he settled in the Grays
Harbor section of the new state of
Washington, where he lived for 3:ght
ytars. Since then his home has been
in Seattle. He served ope term as a
member of the city council, and in
1S14 was induced by the late Hiram
C. Gill, then mayor, to act as chief of
police for a few months.

PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash.. May 30. Judge Austin E.
Griffiths' announcement that he
would b a candidate against Miles
Toindexter for the republican nom
ination for United States senator,
caused a bit of a flurry among those
who maintain a continuous interest in
politics. Friends of Senator Poindex
ter, who have viewed the candidacies
of John E. Ballaine and Georgre H.
Stevenson without manifesting any
great concern,, promptly recognized In
Judge Griffiths a much more formid
able competitor and have been busy
questioning one another as to what
should be done about it.
Judge Griffiths' announcement of
his candidacy was made In good faith.
As a progressive republican for many
years before the separate progrressve
' party was set up in 1912; as a mem
ber of that party during its lifetime,
Its national committeeman for Wash
ington and a delegate to its national
and state conventions, and without
any relinquishment of his progressive
Ideas elnce that party's return to the
republican fold, Judge Griffiths de
clares himself entirely out of sym
pathy with the course lately pursued
by Senator Poindexter.
Friends Pleas Recounted.
In reaching his decision to become
a. candidate against Poindexter, he
ea!d he. yielded to the importunities
of many who feel, as he does, that the
Btate needs a man of another type as
Its representative in the senate.
But for all his good faith and good
purpose it would seem that Judge
Griffiths has unaccountably over
looked the inhibition of the state
constitution and the decision of the
state supreme court which appear to
i make him ineligible as a candidate
j for anything other than'a judicial of
fice. Either that, or else Judge Grif
fith may be placing reliance on the
power of the United States senate to
judge the qualifications of its own
members.
The constitution of th stato of
Washington provides that "the judges
of the supreme court and the Judges
of the superior court shall be inelig
ible to any other office or public em
ployment than a judicial office, or
employment, during the term for
which they shall have been elected."
Court Ruling Cited.
Judge Griffiths has already stated
hat he does not intend to resign to
make the race for the senate. He
j proposes to take advantage of the
' 60-day court vacation, beginning July
)l, which he thinks will permit him to
, carry his campaign close enough to
J the primary election on September 12.
But whether he should resign or not
would make no difference, according
to the decision of the state supreme
) court. He was elected superior court
judge for a term of fijur years, begin
' ning in January, 1921, and his ineligi
bility, according to the constitution
and the supreme court, will hold un
til the expiration of that term in Jan
uary, 1925.)
It was in 1912 that W. W. Black.
I superior judge of Snohomish county.
resigned rrom the bench and became
( a candidate for the democratic nom-
J lriation for governor. He won the
1 nomination over Ernest Lister, his
; nearest competitor, but friends of
L.ster raised the constitutional oucs
linn of his eligibility, and took it to
the supreme court. The court sus
talned the constitutional inhibition,
ruled Judge Black out of the runnine:
.whereupon the democratic state cen-1
tral committee made Lister the
party's nominee for governor, and he i
was elected. . j
Decision Is Specific. j
The supreme court's ruling in the (
Elak case was specific as to the j
questions presented; the resignation
or a Judge did not shorten the term
lor which he had been elected, and
) he was disqualified as a candidate for
1 other office until that term had
closed. But the court went further, j
to declare that even though .the statu- i
tory term of a judge might expire i
' before the beginning of the term of!
the other office, which would permit i
1 him to conclude his full period of ju- I
, dicial service before nsRumlnc- r.ih.r i
f duties, he was still ineligible as -a
; candidate during the term for which
! he had been elected to the judiciary,
j Unless Judge Griffiths knows some
j way of getting around these imposing
; obstacles, his candidacy for the
, United States senate seems likely to1

Lewis County Coroner Resigns. ,
CENTRALIA, Wash., May 30.
(Special.) Dr. David Livingstone,
who leaves this week for Steilacoom
to assume the superintendency of the
western Washington hospital for the
insane, yesterday tendered his resig
nation to the Lewis county -commis
sioners as county coroner. His sue
cessor has not been chosen.
Head of Municipal Women's Pro
tective Division Urges Father
and Mother to "Buck Up."
"Subflappers? Yes, thousands of her.
We have everything In Portland.
"The average age at which a girl
gets in some sort of mix-up, formerly
17, is now 15. Since the war, in the
last three years, it has dropped two
years. Most of the 17-year-olds com
ing to our attention have been run
ning around two years. The first of
fense bringing girls to our attention
is now committed in the majority of
cases between the ages of 14 and 16.
So says Miss Martha Randall, head
of the Women's Protective division,
regarding the local flappermania sit
uation in its newest phase and she
ought to know.
The subdebutante of . flapperdom
defined as the supersophisticated
child - vamp of from 13 to 17 who
should be playing with dolls, as con
trasted with the flapper type of, say,
17 to 20, attracted local attention by
reason of a recent dispatch from Los
Angeles announcing the fining of
dancehall proprietor for letting his
ticket taker rob the cradle.
Older Sisters Out-Wiggled.
Miss Randall's attention was called
to the existence as regular habitues at
one local dancehall of two little girls
of about 13 or 14 who put their older
sisters to shame when it comes to
wiggling and hippety-hopping, dip
ping and pleslosaurus-walking' but
are within the law because accom
panied by parent or legal guardian.
"The supercrime is youngsters' be
Ing allowed to go out unattended,"
said Miss Randall. It Isn't what hap
pens on the dancehall floor that mat
ters so much that is left to the pro
prletor and inspectors. We wish more
parents who let their children go out
alone would call for them.
"The other danger is the kind of
people they meet at dances bad girls
as well as boys. A sophisticated older
girl is glad to have a subflapper for
a pal; the younger child is flattered.
She should go with persons of her
own age.
Parental control that what we'll
have to have to cope with this sit
uation, not shifting of responsibility
to school, Sunday schools, boy scout
and campfire organizations.
Juvenile Court and Our Division.
We want ma and pa to buck up
and not be afraid to cross their chil
dren, as they plainly are in cases
coming to our attention.
Parents Are Blamed.
Children are too smart for their
parents these days. It's the sophisti
cated ohild, the unsophisticated par
ent. Parents feel their children strain
ing at the leash, pulling for more
freedom, wanting to do what other
girls do (and unfortunately there are
always enough other girls in the
neighborhood to serve as an argu
ment for more privileges. Children
have no innnate respect for parents
afraid to restrict them. Often it's the
parent, not the child, we want to
lock up!
"The subflapper Is not a sweet child,
but is bold, sophisticated, "looks
wise." Experience has changed her
features. It's hard for a dancehall
proprietor to be able to tell whether
she's really 18 if she lies about it
but persons really interested can tell.
"Parents seem indifferent and the
girl puts over any old false story

Dance Hall Guarded.
"Portland is no better than, and
just as bad as, any other city in the
country on this flapper business,
though our dancehalls are better su
pervised than some cities. Los An
geles has a more intense pleasure
loving atmosphere than we have."
Saturday Closing Legal.
OLTMPIA, Wash., May 30. (Spe
cial.) There being no statutory provi
sion otherwise, the offices of county

neers and school superintendents may
