The petitions were signed by 20,000 voters, and in procuring these names, hun- dreds of men and women passed the petitions along to one another, from house to house, and it would be impossible to get the names of all who aided. | In the Hay case, the supreme court refused to penalize the purchaser of a public office, although it admitted he was guilty. 25 per cent of the voters of King county, although it had - to stretch several points to even the semblece of a law violation SOCIAL UNREST? | YES; AND THE SUPREME COURT OF WASHING-| | TON CANNOT ESCAPE ITS SHARE OF THE BLAME, Figures Don’t Show j All N LOOKING upon the map and observing Germany sur-| rounded, in a sense, by such mighty nations as England,| France and Russia, it should not be forgotten that, about | years ago, Frederick the Great, of Prussia, had to fight! pretty much all the rest of Europe.
