Only two of the county offices, in addition to the county commissioners, are necessary to the graft ring; the offices of sheriff and auditor, Controlling these offices, the ring can do as it pleases. County Assessor Thomas A. Parish is not included in the graft ring and is not being opposed by The Star in his candi- Whatever his political affiliations may So effi- dacy for renomination be, he has proved himself to be an efficient assessor, cient has he proven, that protests against his activity have been frequent from heavy business interests, Apparently Assessor Parish has no consideration for wealth excepting the amount of taxes it ought to produce, and he has gone on that plan in making his assessments, He has raised the assessed valtiation of the coal and timber lands of the coun ty greatly, regardless of the protests of the greatest corpora tions doing business here; he has taxed the franchises of public service corporations, hitherto immune, but has not made tar- gets of the corporations, for the Second ave. merchant and all the rank and file, to say nothing of the breweries, have been accorded the same treatment, with the result that everyone will come nearer paying his just share of the taxes this year than | through the slash ever before, A fearless and honest assessor is an asset with which no county should voluntarily part. Mr. Parish has proven him- self to be that kind of official. SEATTLE’S POLICE DEPARTMENT If we may be pardoned for dropping for a moment into slang, we desire to express the conviction that Seattle's police department is “shot all to pieces,” After the splendid administration of police affairs given us by Charles W. Wappenstein under Former Mayor William Hickman Moore, it is unfortunate that we should, in so short a time, drop back to conditions as they existed prior thereto. Seattle's police department today is hopeless and helpless The town is overrun with confidence men and criminals of all sorts, and women are rapidly leaving the restricted district to install themselves in the hotels and rooming houses of upper First av. Chief Ward has demonstrated his unfitness for the office He seems to have lost control of the department and appears to be making no effort to prevent the steady northward flow of the denizens of the underworld If he would make his administration a success, Mayor Miller should see to it that before 1909 Seattle has an efficient police department. And if this is to be done, there is no time to be lost. GARBAGE REPEAL BILL VETO Mayor Miller is acting rightly in vetoing the bill passed by the “council ring” repealing the Murphy garbage collection ordinance. That full and thorough investigation was made by the mayor before. acting in this matter is the very best proof of the selfishness of the motives of the councilmen who voted for the repeal bill, and who seem bent upon preventing the in- Stallation of any kind of a municipal garbage collection system. Councilmen Murphy and Revelle and the men who have stood by them in this garbage fight are fortunate in having as a court of last resort a chief executive who, in this par- ticular at least, seems determined to protect the interests of the community. In withdrawing his candidacy in favor of George W. Vanderveer to escape the danger of an unfit man gaining the republican nomina tion for prosecuting attorney, Frank B. Sayre has set a good example for sume of the candidates for other offices to follow. The defeat of Rutherford and Beckingham is being made infinitely more difficult than it should be by the multiplicity of candidates in the field. If more of Frank B. Sayre’s magnanimous spirit is shown, there will be much more likelhood of the defeat of the graft ring in the pri mary on September § Talk about breaking records! That highwayman who held up 127 tourists tn Yellowstone Park yesterday has certainly set a mark that promises long to be the envy of all good highwaymen, The one dark spot in this remarkable record was made when the candy was taken from the women. That was real mean At last, Senator Ankeny has answered with © general denial of the charges of Corruption made against him. Sut ft will take more than a general denial to specific charges to convince the people of the state that the charges are not true. mur eye on “Rob Here’s a Coal Ti KENTON ¢ FHONKS—87 Fire-Proof Storage FOR FURNITURE, PIANOS, TRUNKS, ETC, BEKINS Moving and Storage Co.
