Tha Inference la plain. from . tha
omewhat remarkable atatament of the
retlrlnc Adjutant -Oer.eral. that while
tha officers Of the Guard generally
liare been anxious to lift tha orsanlxa
tlon above the bare of polltlca they
have not aucceeded. and Impliedly tha
reairriatlon has coma because of that
yery fait. There Is In th letter to
Tha Governor no hint of the activity
of the Spanieh-.merl-an War Veterans
or of internal troubles: but only a
declaration that General limptns Is
too much occupied with business cares

With the resignation has come an
Intimation from Governor Hay that of

appointment of the new Adjutant-General.
Tha responses are said to hava

to the Second Infantry and Major Rosa

say. In plain Kncllsh. that ha is taking
advantage of conditions to resume tha
Colonelcy of the Second Regiment,
which position Major Caae would oc
cupy If he had not been placed on
waiting orders.
I'nder the law of 1"9. the position of
Adjutant-General may be fllleil by the
appointment of any officer on the ac
tive list of the rank of captain or
above, who haa had a specified term
of aervice. The officer so detailed
shall not lose his grade In the corps
orrrgttnenl. and shall retain his for
mer rank and assignment to duty for
six montha from the date of his ap
pointment as Adjutant-General. But
after six months his former assign
ment shall become vacant, and snail be
rilled as all vacancies are filled.
I'p to this point, there can be no
objection to applying the statute to
the case of Adjutant-General'Lamping.
Hut tha law further provides that after
tha term of duty as Adjutant-General
has expired that officer shall be placed
on waiting orders with tha rank which
ha would have had In the natural
course of promotion had ha not been

Colonel Lemon, who would have suc
ceeded to tha position, resigned, and
Caae. as senior Major, was promoted to
be Colonel, and having received hia
commission waa assigned to duty In
that command. Subsequently he was
relieved, and continues on waiting or

now exists In the rank which General
Lamping would have held had he never

out In tlie cold. The situation assumes
an Interesting phase from the fact that
Case Is an aspirant ror Ounernatorlal
honors, and already has set out to be
come the successor of Governor Hay
two years hence.
raw Clever Politically.
Case Is known far and wide as a
"Joiner." and he probably belongs to
more senil-mllitary secret organizations
than any other office seeker In the
state He is now Auditor of King
County, having been re-elected In No
vemher by a substantial majority. He
Is known as a clever politician, and
haa been accounted popular; but
whether he will be able to swing his
military and aeml-milltary support and
retnin his strength for nomination and
election as Governor la extremely
problematical. But his well-known at
titude In that respect may throw light
on the emphatic declaration of Adjutant-General
Lamping. In hia letter of
resignation, that the National Guard
should be kept free of politics and that
no deal should be made In connection
with the office of Adjutant-General or
any other commissioned officer.
Connected in time with General
Lamping s resignation was that of As
sistant Adjutant-General Berger. but
they have no bearing or connection
otherwise. The salary of the Adjutant
General la 1:100 a year; that of tha
assistant a month. Berger Is a
First Lieutenant in the Pccond Infan
try. He Is an expert pistol and rifle
shot and an enthusiast on ammunition,
his fame In that respect having trav
eled beyond the state. He has resigned
to take a position with a cartridge
manufacturing concern, where he can
make more money than In hia present
position. Berger s predecessor In tha
office of assistant was Captain Wei
bon. now of the Artillery Reserve, and
his predecessor. In turn, was Captain
Thompson, who waa strongly urged for
the position of Adjutant-General when
Lamping waa appointed. All of the
changes referred to grew out of the
Ortls Hamilton defalcation.
Lamping, who will probably return
to the command of the Second Infantry.
Is a veteran of the Philippine War. He
prefers the Infantry arm of the serv
ice, and has been a prominent figure
as brigade commander at the maneuv- J
era In this state during recent years.
Independent of the office of Adjutant-General,
the Artillery Reserve Is
expecting the appointment of a regu
lar Army officer as Instructor for the
companies on Puget Sound. The as
signment to duty will probably (be
made about January 1, an application
to that effect having already been
filed with the War department.
Street Names Ptfitzlc. .
Simplicity. Instead of an annoying
jumble, will mark Seattle street names.
If the report of a special committee
meets expectations. Almost from the
beginning. Seattle's conflicting street
names have caused delay and confusion.
Thero have been two revisions in a
decade: but as the city has grown dup
lications have multiplied, despite the
efforts to put In a simple, workable
plan. There are today aeven different
Seventeenth avenues, and many other
names are almost ss bad. owing to the
designations "north." 'northeast,
"east." "southeast." and so on through
the points of the compass. The pres
ent system Is so Intricate and involved
that It puzzles mallcarriers who have
been In the service for years, and It 1
a continual stumbling-block to all citi
aens. oldtlmers and newcomers alike.
Sometime ago Postmaster Russell
served notice on the city thst a revision
was Imperative. Hia demand, which
amounted to an ultimatum, resulted in
tha appointment of a special commit
tee consisting; of Mr. Russell, post
master; Charles I. Lynch. General Sup
erintendent of Malls: William F. Pad
dock. Chief Clerk of the City Engineer
ing Department: James Weir. Pliny I.
Allen and C. K. Remsbcrg. This com
mittee, which has been guided largely
by the postofflce suthorttles, has al
most finished Its work.
Its report. In general, retalna tha sys
tem of making thoroughfares running
north and south "avenues." and those
runnlstsj east and west "streets." All
avenues north of Tesler Way are
"north." and all south of that dlvls
lonsl line are "south." All streets east
of First avenue sre "east." and all
west of that divisional line are "west."
Tesler Way and First avenue are the
only two bases of designation while
heretofore both Denny Way and Broad
way have been used as divisional lines.
All numbers "for streets are canceled,
and all avenues ere extended complete
ly through the city from north to
aouth. retaining tlielr names regardless
of crooks and turns, and absorbing all
short thoroughfares that may be In the
way. In the district east of First ave
nue and south of Tesler Way the pres
ent namea will atand practically un
changed. In the district bounded by
Tesler Way. Broadway, Denny Way and
the waterfront, embracing old Seattle
and Including the most populous and
the largest business portion today, the
namea will not be materially changed
except for tha appendix "north" for
the avenues and "east" for the streets.
But there will be many changes In the
district west of Fifth avenue and in
the auburba to the north. The lettera
of the alphabet will be used in series
of four four A's, four B's. and so on.
the A's extending to the 400 block, the
B's to tha 800 block, so that anyone
the least familiar with the system
ought not to have trouble In finding
a given street and number. In the
t'nlversity district, embracing that part
of the city between Thirtieth and Fifty
fifth street. northeast. the present
"east" and "west" streets are to he
given the namea of leading colleges and
seminaries: and from Fifty-fifth to
Klgthy-flfth. the present city boundary,
the streets are to be given the names
of woods and trees.
New Plan Is Liked.
Although the new plan eliminates
some of the names that have been In
use for 20 years, the scheme Is gener
ally approved. All Seattle has been
aroused to the necessity for a simpli
fied system, and a cutting-out of dup
lications. It follows that for some
time to come the city will have consid
erable perplexity in adjusting Itself.
The system having been formulated
along general lines, the real work of
renaming: and renumbering will pro
ceed under the Immediate direction of
Mr. Lynch and Mr. Paddock, with the
object of finishing the task in time for
the next city directory.
Postmaster Russell has also Riven
notice of another important change. In
line with suggestions made by Postmaster-General
HJtchcock. he has put
Into effect -a 30-day limit on general
delivery service at the Seattle office.
Persons who have been In the habit of
receiving mall regularly at the general
delivery will be denied that privilege.
Mall must go to a definite address,
after a reasonable time, it being the
experience of the local office that 80
per cent of lettera passing through
the general delivery are intended for
Improper and unlawful purposes. The
percentage of Illegitimate mall in Se
attle is probably as high In Seattle ss
In other cities of the country. The
local office has taken this step in line
with a general movement whereby the
postofflce department proposes no
longer to be made a vehicle of vice
and crime.
Several score of the women citizens
of Seattle are taking note of the fact
that tkey are qualified to vote and to
assume all the privileges and responsi
bilities of full-fledged electors. Near
ly a hundred women have taken the
examination for registration clerks;
about a dozen have anplted for service
on the registration board as clerks of
eleotlon; quite a number have regis
tered as voters, and a few have signed
the petition (or the recall of Mayor
GilL
Women Want Election Posts.
A peculiar feature appears in the
fact that the equal suffrage amend
ment haa not given to women the right
to serve as registration clerks. It ex
isted before the election last Novem
ber, but the women did not know it.
City Controller Bothwell will treat
women the same as men when appoint
ments are made from the eligible list
prepared by the Civil Service Commis
sion. The registration of women has
proceeded despite the fact that the
blanks containing the oath describe
the citizen as a "male." the con
troller taking the ground, that inas
much as women have the right to
vote they also have the right to reg
ister, and that the form of the affi
davit In the absence of legislative en
actment la not Important. The con
troller beilevea that until the law has
been amended the affidavit that the
citizen is a "male" does not present
a statement of facts so far as women
are concerned.
At the eighteenth annual conven
tion of the Washington State Dairy
men's Association, to be held at Lyn-
den. December II. it and 23. a num
ber of topics of. vital Interest to the
industry will be discussed. Among the
names on the programme are those of
