This is the contention of C. W. Swan of New York.

Frankly, The Star had till then given the matter no very care- ful thought. It is not our policy, with some other newspapers, to call secret conferences with politicians and “handpicked” candi- dates. We try to pick the best candidates from among those who announce them- selves. The Star does not send out any agents, or reporters, or editors, to suggest to this or that man that he run for this or that office If we have thing to say in this direction, we say it in black and white—in public—in The Star. And so, during the week, we have given the sheriff matter some serious consideration We have looked over the list of those who have announced themselves and those may announce themselves ome fair better, others not even passable Then we happened to think of Sergeant Victor Putnam of the Seattle police department Tod od Sergeant Putnam is the best man for sheriff King county could get.

The senate yesterday voted an appropriation of $6,000,000 to fit the Bremerton, Philadelphia, Boston and Norfolk navy yards for ship- building purposes. The money is to be available immediately The house already has passed this appropriation, president's signature is now necessary. This appropriation, while initiated by Senator Poindexter’s bill to equip the Bremerton yard, is largely an administration measure, Secretary of the Navy Daniels was particularly interested in secur- ing an appropriation for the Bremerton navy yard, and personally ap- peared before the naval committee to urge its adaptability to battleship construction and only the DID YOU EVER HEAR THE STORY OF LAFE AND THE POOR PRUNE?

BUT LAFE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. HE WASN'T EVEN INTERESTED IN THE POOR PRUNE As a matter of fact, he couldn't be interested, being a county commissioner, because the law says “Any public officer who shall be beneficially interested, direct- ly or indirectly, in any contract, sale, lease or purchase which may be made by, thru or under the supervision of such officer, in whole or in part * * * oF accept, directly or indirectly, any compensation, gratuity, or re ward from any other person beneficially interested therein, shall be guilty of a gross misde- meanor.
