Made HI. Domination secure.

Mr.. Snveiy's absolute domination of the
state fair commission was made secure
IN many ways. BY the appointment OF
three out of nve of the members OF the
board his influence was made certain:
Baxter, Gum and Schnebly had never in
politics risen higher than TO become un-
derstrappers of the assistant governor;
they were and are devoted body and soul
to his interests.
With this majority Snively proceeded to
organize the board by electing two of his
men to the principal offices. With Bax-
ter as president and superintendent and
Gum as secretary, he made sure that
nothing could be done-not even a meet
ing could be held-without his knowledge
and consent.
And then, to put ciincher on his grip.
Mr., Snively had his commissioners make
for themselves certain rules These are
called Rules Governing the Washington
state Fair Commission" and are found
IN the premium list issued by Secretary
Gum in advance of the fair OF 1898.
After certain rules dealing with the du-
ties of officers. which. by the way, were
never observed during the incumbency of
Treasurer Lee. this provision follows;
Art. III, Sec. l. At any meeting of the
commission majority of the whole COM
mission shall constitute quorum
Thus 1t was arranged that Messrs. Bay
tthf 1Nittt anu StllHtuiN could get o.
gether In secret at any time and do what
ever Ar. snively might suggest The quo
rum Of the commission could make such
disposition OF the affairs and moneys OF
the institution as Mr.. Snively saw ri.
The followin rule was also adopted. 10
the end that the three Snively men coma
keen matters well In hand:
art. ILL.,, Sec l. Amendments must bo
presented in writing at the annual meet
ing OF the commission. when. II agreed 10
ny three-hfths OF the members. they shan
be adopted"
Here is nice distinction IN language
between three-hfths and a majority OF a
board Of ave members.
SO that no applicant for license for priy,-
leges on the fair grounds might get away
from the sniveiy men, this rule was
made:
Art ~. Sec I. All applications for IL
cense shaiI be maze 20 the secretary. wno
snail refer the same 20 the prrslaen, ana
ono other member OF the commission, ana
such license may be granted upon iheir
approval"

Even Denmark's decree against this
wrong did not take effect until the end
OF the year 1902, and French legislation
did not finally abolish slavery In tho
colonies until 1918. It was not until
1884 that England decreed emancipa-
ton, and not until 1910 that the decree
took effect. The ukase of Alexander
I. abolishing the Russian serf system
was proclaimed in 1861. and our own
emancipation was not effected until
1865. Today the very thought Of slav-
cry Is discarded, and 1t exists nowhere
under the flag of any great civilized
nation, except in Sulu and in modi-
fed form in Hawaii, under liberation
OF the great republic that basis its very
existence upon the doctrine Of the "un-
alienable right" of every human being
to liberty. For single century this
development of the idea of liberty is
achievement enough. It would make
the century the greatest in all history
If nothing else had been recorded con-
corning it,
Somehow the World forgot all about
the glazing fact that under thesAmeri-
can flag species Of slavery fourishes
and actually flaunts itself in the full
light OF day, namely, the virtual serf-
dom of professional base ball players
under the national agreement.

stopped and stood ON his defense.
There was not firearm In the party.
and It was not easy for them to force
their horses near enough the jaguar to
use their lassos. At last one Of them,
a Mexican named Juan Ribera, letting
the loop of his lasso lie on the ground,
caught the jagnar's forelegs in the
moose. and setting spurs to his horse
rolled the beast upon his back and
dragged him. Other lassos quickly
caught the jaguar's neck and one hind
leg, and then, with the three ropes
pulling taut. the animal lay helpless
The question was debated OF trying to
preserve him alive, but was settled by
one OF the cowboys killing him with
knife. ! measured the jaguar and he
was just eight feet long. When rode
away the cowboys were SHINING him.
