It looks like the old days again, politically. The Mayoralty arena looms as barnacled as a salt-soaked dock pile and on the face of tblnas the mud-altngtng will be about as thick as Seattle has witnessed, and that's spying some. We undoubtedly will see quite a scrap for the boss' seat, but I fear they're going to get liill for keeps this time.

He says he Is not down and out politically, as even some of his tanchest supporters have said, and In spite of all the shady events that have marked his last term of office, he Is confident of re-election. When Gill Is really In a pugnacioua mood, politically speaking, he can be about as pug nacious as anyone. Being In that frame of mind at the present, he undoubtedly will create a great stir within the neat few weeks. t aslderabte flak lag Dae.

Mr. Heron has been a resident of this county for sev eral years and of this city for the last seven years, during which time he has been promi nent socially, politically and In business. Frye and Heber B. Hoyt. he declared that he would again seek re-election. Just as suon as he announced his de clxion It became apparent that the mud slinging campaigns with which Seattle Is thoroughly familiar would again be repeated this year. Just what effect the recent disbar ment of Gill for one year at the hands of the State Board of Bar Kxamlners for alleged misconduct In office will liave In the present campaign Is dlffi cult to figure. There la one thing tha atanda out markedly In a review of the campaigns In which Gill has appeared aa a candidate. This Is sympathy. Many think GUI s disbarment waa un Juatided on the evidence adduced the bearing. Those of the sentimental type and this Includes quite a quot. feel that to dethrone Gill at a time when he would not be allowed to earn a livelihood at bis regular profession would be treating him pretty harshly. bill Appeals Deetaloa. Of course GUI has appealed the de etalon of the state Board of Bar fcx aralners to the Supreme Court and he Is not suspended from practice untl that trtbunal reviews the findings of the Investigating body, but the public tnlnd does not seem to take this Into consideration. The Supreme Court. In all probability, will not have an oppor tunlty to pass on the GUI disbarment proceedings until after the city elec Hon. Lined up solidly against Gill are the church forces.

Of the eight onnoslng Gill. France has the weakest following. He riled! his candidacy for Mayor at a very In opportune time, depositing the required ree and announcing his decision only I short time after he had led an unsuc cessful fight for the impeachment of Gill by the City Council. France was one of the original backers of the Im peachment plan and he Is accused In many circles of pressing the demand for Gill's ousting to further his own political ends. Organised labor's political leaders are in a quandary today, following the announcement yesterday by Claude C. Kamaay, chairman of the King County Board of Commissioners, that on re consideration he had decided to can cel his declaration of candidacy. Al though Kamaay had announced about two weeks ago he would be a candi date, he did not actually Die. Ilamsay says that the amount of work now be fore him as County Commissioner makes It Impossible for him to wage a fight for the Mayoralty seat. Ramsay, though a business man In private life, is popular with the labor element and he would have received the backing of the major part of or ganized labor for Mayor. In fact. It was because of Ramsay's announced In tention of running that the labor lead ers did not put forward a union-made candidate of their own. Just which way organised labor's vote will be thrown In the Impending election is problematical. Inasmuch ss Gill, with a marked change of front, has of late been a consistent advocate of munici pal ownership, he probably will draw well with those of organised labor who are willing to overlook many other things. Millionaire la Rare Mow. Between noon and J o'clock tonight when the filing period closed, three more candidates leaped Into the race of Mayor. They are Frank Water- house, millionaire Seattle capitalist and snipping man; jonn t. .Murphy. ex- Prosecuting Attorney of King County for four years, and James K. Bradford, ex-corporation counsel and municipal ownership advocate. The entry of Waterhouse Into the Mayoralty fight came as a great sur prise to all Seattle. As the bead of more than a half a dozen big Seattle companies, he has for years been known as Seattle's busiest msn. He will not make a vigorous fight for Mayor, de r.arlng that he only filed at the urgent solicitation of representative Seattle people who said they would look after his campaign. Murphy Is known as one of the best criminal lawyers in the Northwest, but since his retirement from the Prose cutor's office three years ago, little has been heard of him. Bradford ran at the state election four years no on the Progressive ticket for Governor. OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL. Mon mouth. Jan. 19. (special.) The con solldatlon of Oregon rural schools as a wartime measure of economy is advised strongly by the Oregon Normal School deoartment of rural education, rro feasor M. 8. Plttman. head of the de partment, who has argued for the new nlan for several years, holds that the step should be taken now. While saving In money is not re garded aa the prime reason for rural consolidation. Professor Plttman points out that a union of schools means great saving in general expenses, as fewer teachers are needed, as a rule. To prove this statement, he cites sev eral Oregon communities which. In stead of having a number of broken-up districts, with one teacher In charge at each place, have one big school, lo cated In a central position, smploylng teachers for the several specialized departments. Alsea District Is Cited. Tha Alsea district is recognized as tha one part of Oregon which has taken the real step. There, four dis tricts became one, and the result is better playgrounds, better teachers, more community and school spirit. It is said also that the "sectional preju dices" are not present. This argument of bad feeling between the districts consolidated, used so often in oppo sition to the movement for consolida tion, cannot be applied to the Alsea consolidated district. It is held. With the Nation now demanding the greatest economy in all branches of in dustry and education, the Oregon Nor mal School believes there is no real argument against the consolidation of Oregon rural Institutions. The union of schools means the wiping out of useless duplication, and worse than that worthless 'duplication, it is pointed out. A teacher is credited with being able to Instruct well twice or three times the number of pupils that many country school have, which would mean a great saving. By the "pooling sys tem" also. It further Is pointed out, grades can be established and spe ciallxed instructors chosen to charge. This means efficiency, the employment of experts In particular line. Distance la Overcome. Often has come tha objection that distance prevents a union of schools. In answer to this. Professor Plttman cites the Alsea and the Nehalem ex amples, where pupils are carried in big wagons four to six miles to the main school building. This is done. It is found, at a minimum cost. It Is ad mitted, however, that in some of the most sparsely populated sections of the state, only the very best means of com munication can make the consolidated school a success. Professor Plttman, who has traveled throughout the state a number of times thin the past four years, is bringing pressure to bear on many places where he firmly believes the consolidated school is the only remedy. He advises that immediate action be taken, so as to bring the new system Into opera tion when the next school term begins. small copy of ' tha trafria ordinance from his pockets "Well, you ought to know everything In there. If you expect to run a car without endangering yourself and your fellow-citizens. Suppose you sit down In the corner there and study the book from Preface to Finis." At the end of a "study period" Offi cer Lewis called his pupil to the carpet. "W hat's the congested district?" "From Front street to Tenth street, Osk to Yamhill." glibly responded the seeker after knowledge. "Hm, that's right. How about the speed of a motor vehicle of less than 2000 pounds capacity?" "On river bridges and In congested district. 16 miles an hour; outside of congested district. 20 miles an hour." "But you're not obliged to go that fast all th time.

Kaiser Protests at Deteatlon of For mer Ambassador oa Island of Martin Garcia. BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 19. The Ar gentine government has received a note from the German government pro testing against the confinement of Count von Luxburg, former German Minister to Argentina, to a hospital. contending this is a continuation of his detention on the Island of Martin Garcia. Germany admits the Justice of the detention of Von. Luxburg on the island us punishment for leaving Buenos Aires without permission, but argues there s no excuse for continuance of a guard at the hospital. In reply the Argentine government has transmitted to Berlin certificates of physicians, stating it Is absolute! necessary to keep Von Luxburg closely guarded until he Is able to leave Ar gentina, because of his menial condi ion. The German note also requests th Argentine government to recognize a charge d'affaires ad Interim Secre tary Count Don Hoff. of the German egation. until a successor to Von Lux burg is appointed.

He passed the night in the city jail and today will face arrest under a Federal warrant In the hands of United States Marshal Taubman. No oppor tunity was given him to furnish bail. Formal charge is understood to be failure to file a correct translation of a certain article published in a recent issue as the espionage law provides. Other forms which it is alleged that his pro-German activities have taken have been the solicitation and forward ing of money for the German Red Cross and of participation in the propaganda which was spread by Ambassador Bernstorff.
