"CR0wING BEFORE BATTLE"
What the People of Spokane, His For
mer Home, Think OF Calkins.
spokane Spokesman

CpCkduc Cptktemdu.
The Tacoma Globe says that lit Is In posses
sion of sufficient facts TO be able to assure the
people of the state that the Hon. w. II. Calkins
will be the next United States senator from this
state"
That statement can have but one meaning
namely, that the Globe knows how a majority of
both branches of the legislature will vote when
the balloting for senator begins. If the Globe
has obtained this information and has learned
that Mr.. Calkins, of Tacoma, lately Of Spokane
and quite lately OF Indiana, is to receive that
majority, or II it has learned that Colonel SQUIRE
OF Seattle, state OF Washington, viii not receive
that majority, there are some things In the con-
duct of the Globe that require explanation.
III II Is certain that CaIkins Is TO be the man,
why does ii waste its valuable editorial columns
by giving them up TO the wild assertions that
squire's name is Dennis, that Squire has no
friends even in his own city, that Squire is "no
longer in the senatorial contest?''
II the Globe really has no doubt about the COM
ing success OF Calkins, why should 1t bring for
ward imaginary candidates, as If TO disrupt and
dissipate the Squire forces? The Globe pretends
that Seattle is to spring another candidate on
the iegislature-Tom Ewing, probably-and that
there are various dark horses slowed away in
thickets that will pounce out at the critical mo-
ment and put the Squire forces to utter rout? If
the Globe is certain that W. Fl. calkins will be
the next senator, why thus encourage these dark
beasts? Why not end the agony by printing the
names OF the men that viii constitute the
Calkins majority?
Finally, If the Globe is so positive about the
success of Calkins, why should ii let Spokane
Falls correspondent lie outrageously about the
situation this side of the mountains? 1t prints
special from Spokane romancer, in which are
found these astounding assertions: That poll
ticians here admit that Squire's chances are
gone; that il is conceded here that Seattle must
bring out another candidate If she wants to re-
tain the senatorship; that Colonel Winston has
withdrawn from the Squire cohorts: and that,
apart from personal likes and dislikes. .'Calkins
has not an opponent, and Squire friend, in
Eastern Washington" Every one of these asser.
tons is lie. and the dunderhead who sent the
special 10 the Globe was probably smart enough
to know that he was lying, although not smart
enough TO foresee the damage the lies would do
TO the Calkins cause.
The Spokesman does not claim 10 have any ex-
elusive information in its possession on the
senatorial contest, for II has not asked the leSs-
lators how they will vote, but ii knows that
people in Eastern Washington are enthusiastic
in their support of SQUIRE and it has yet to hear
single peep for Calkins.

1900 males and 1000 females employed
in the manufacture Of seal garments. the
most beautiful Of all wearing apparel, and
lessen the government income $59a,0o for
the sake OF settling the dispute and aiding
the Goldfish industry"
This statement the Reriew analyses as
follows: Taking 1900 males and 70,ooo
female employees in the seal industry, we
have in all 5000 workers; giving them
weekly wage of So. which appears low
enough, the weekly earnings of all would
be $4,000, and for the year grand total
of SIS, 704, 600. Take the catch of seals at
the top notch, 10000 Aiaskas. 5000 Cop
pers, and 5000 victorias, Cape Horn, etc,
grand total of 10000 seal skins, and it is
plain tina. the wages cost would be $i43.52
per skin, for all sizes and grades, good,
bad and Indifferent; to which would have
TO be added the cost at the islands, freight
charges, commissions, etc.
But it is shown that this years catch
but remotely approximates 2o0.0oo-being
but 1ls.0oo in all-Alaskas, 1900; Victo-
rias. 5000; Coppers, 5s,0o0-which on the
Chicago papers estimate would make the
wage cost of manufacturing these amount
TO s243. % each.
But although many of the current state
ments about this industry are exaggerated
and Informed, it is vastly important and
worthy Of protection, and even if it were
not of one-tenth its actual value and i'm
portance. our government could not afford
to sacrifice the principle of maintaining
our rights in respect to it. Whether 81, 900
of our people or 81 are engaged in the
business, and whether the skins are worth
81 apiece or 500, does not affect the gues-
ton of national rights or national insult.
The principle is worth more than the seal
skins at any valuation. And though they
were an hundred times more valuable, we
do not wish to tight for them unless they
belong to US, nor to punish people for tax
ing them who have right to do so.

Very few subjects CT public interest have

sertions and assumptions than has the fur
seal industry. To say nothing of the con-
ilieting reports of government agents as to

sealers engaged in the business, and bv
newspapers and their correspondents.
