HATCHEJ TO OPEN CRAB;'
KNOWS BETTER : NOW
Well, anyway, there Is one con-

pare crabs for. the table now. ' '
- A few days ago a Woman, a
recent "arrival from the, middle
West, walked into a fish and poul-

Third, and spied a pile of freshly--T
boiled crabs. She had1 heard
; much 'conccrnlng-crustaceans,"
. and, anxious to test their quail- "
ties, forthwith purchased one.
At home she placed her pos- -'.
session on a 'kitchen table an&ijt
e looked It over curiously. , . Every
vpoint seemingly was guarded by'
; eolid armor-like shell. She did
not know that a crab's back can :

housewife eyed ; suspiciously and,'

she told him next day.
"Yes, it -was the same one you

ommetidatlon along this line, Senator
Clapp was free to express his personal
deeire to sea the .Oregon plan extended
until It applies to naflElo,nal elections.,
SEATTLE MODERATOR
ADDRESSES-PARLIAMENT
Rev. ;M. A. Mathews, paWtfdf the
First Presbyterian . church of Seattle
and moderator of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church of the Un
ited States, was the speaker at a large
gathering in the First Presbyterian
church last night. He ppoke on "Church
Efficiency" and dealt with the whole
range of church work and responsibil
ity. Previous to the meeting he was
tendered a -reception. He left last night
for Seattle closing an extended, tour
which bad taken him through many
cities. ' : )
' (Wwhlnjton Sanaa of The JournjL)
.Washington, April 1.-Senator M,ose
Clapp is so greatly Impressed with the
merit-of the Oregon system of govern
menhat hg freely "declares !t to be
thg beHCftt- lie goe so far as to
adywate-lts application to-.national poli
tics as far as it can be applied.
7 "If : wf fbuW apply the Oregon system
throucliout th4 country," v said Senator
Clapp to-The-Jrnarjcorrespon Jen t, i'it
would be worth 20 years' labor spent
on that task." .
rv Senator Clapp's enthusiasm for the
Oregon system la due liv part to the ln,
vestigation that hiaspeCiaI cpmmlttee
has"' been conducting .into the conduct
of elections.-. While, this committee in
not yet ready to render a. report oh Its
wdrkj the senator says that it has had
occaosfpn, in response to inquiries,' te
senJ out vast quantities of the pamph
let on "The Oregon. System of Popular
Government," cbmpUed by Senator
Bourne, and" the speech by the same
senator on "Populiw; Delegated Gov
ernment." Millipns of copies of these documents
haveigone to '.all sections of the coun
try. The demand for them still con
tinues, -The members of, Uje -committee
attribute to them no. email1' part of the.
enthusiasm that has developed for pop
ular government, and they, see in the
vote tlif.t was-i past -at the presidential
election last November a 'proof that
these and-similar documents have' pro-J
foTn"WcsseaTms-Trarhr mind.--- t
If all states had laws requiring prim
ary registration by- parties, Senator
Clapp says,'-It would be possible to
adapt the system used in Oregon, "of
issuing pamphlets of information about
the candidates in presidential elections.
The registration for primaries, so that
the voters must align themselves with
some definite party, is essential, for, as
Senator Clapp says: We must have a
way to keep a. minor party from Invad
ing the majority party and dominating
it." -
