Despite the fact that one of the
most prominent lawyers in this city
was in the council chamber last night
| to fight for the death Of the ordi-
nance in case It should be brought up
| in an effort to pass 1t over the may

Norman of the liquor mems associa-
ton and julius Galland OF the local
brewery trust had the nerve to come
before the committee Of the city coun-
Gil and try to kill the ordinance be-
fore 1t should ever reach the council,
the mayor says that only one man,
and he d preacher, has been to see
the mayor about the ordinance since
It passed the council, and that
''Seventy-five per cent Of the saloon

are about 1870 saloons in Spokane.

question was asked last night how

The mayor explains that 1t would
| not be wise to add an extra law to
the 1000 laws that are now in the
city code.
! He ends by saying an executive or
der can remedy evils. The mayor has
been in office since May. and If he
has done a single thing to issue an
1 executive order against saloons, has
taken away the license of a single
saloon, or has even adopted the usual
subterfuge of making a mark" OF
one or two saloons. the city hall re-
porter for The Press has been un-
able to learn of 1t.

Mayor Boyd has vetoed the Pratt
saloon box ordinance, and added an
other brilliant act to his brief but
glbrious career as mayor. BY this
veto he has broken faith with the re-
publican party, which elected him.
dishonored his platform and outraged
the moral element of Spokane
The burnt district" and the whisky
ring came out with flying colors at
the meeting of the city council last
night, when a long winded harangue
was read from Mayor Boyd explaining
why It would not be right for the
Pratt box ordinance to become a law.
30 generally was 1t known that the
mayor would not approve the ordi-
nance that none Of the "giris'' from
Klondike alley or the men who keep
the saloons where the '.girls". hang
out came over to offer their applause
for the courageous stand taken by
his honor.
In his message. one of the longest
explanations and defenses of an Of
ficfal act ever read on the floor of the
council, the mayor attacks the homes
whose sons and daughters 20 wrong

sons of mature age should have the
right to do as they please so long
as they do not interfere with the

Elsewhere. in his fight against the
new law compelling whisky sellers
to have their customers in the open
instead of behind closed doors, the
mayor sapiently says:
s"Immorality can not be cured by
Legislation. 1t is as old as the hui

ducing crime in this city-all of
which evidence was considered by
the council before the latter. body
decided 1t the part of wisdom to pass
the Pratt ordinance-the mayor
typewriter does pay this compliment
to the common sense of the city
council.
Il do not question the sincerity of
purpose of the members Of your hon.
orable body who voted for this ordi-
nance. All decent people believe in
decency. but they disagree as to the
best methods of bringing 1t about.
The purpose of this ordinance seems
to be to protect the girls and boys
Of the rising generation. and If 1t
would do that 1t would fulfill a noble
purpose, but contend that an in
clination to be bad can not be cured
by law.
There is a general impression that
decent boys and girls frequent saloon
boxes. This is not true. The fire.
quenters OF saloon boxes among wom-
en- and girls are Invariably notorious
courtesans, or persons who are about
ready to graduate into that class. The
constant talk about protecting the
home against the saloon box con-
tains more sentiment than sense. Any
home that possesses a daughter who
10 SO totally lacking in moral sense
and the elements Of common decency
that she would enter q saloon box
and drink liquor like a common pros
titute. needs protection against itself
more than anything else"
The above paragraph is spoken in
defiance of the fact that Chief Woydt
told Of sending home 10 girls during
not single instance did the mothers
of these girls even dream Of anything
being wrong with their daughters
That paragraph argument for the
liquor interests Is either a deliberate
insult to every mother of q Maynard
daughter in Spokane or Chief Of Po-
lice Woydt was a fool and did not
know whereof he spoke when he adj
dressed the members of the city
council
Further also in his defense of the
dens of vice touched up in the Pratt
ordinance the mayor says:
| Z The persons who rail against the
dens of vice should direct their good
offices toward the home capable Of
producing the girls that fill them, in
stead of against the dens."
| The mayor further defends his po
sition by attacking the Raines Law
in New York and says the Raines Law
has resulted In worse conditions thai

Ledgerwood openly advocated that
two members of the board of equali-
cation, Collier and Culliny, and one
ex-member, Jones, be prosecuted for
changing the assessments on certain
local property, on July 80, 1902,
thirty days after the time of their
regular adjournment. The trustee
was ordered to disregard any
changes made on the above date and
to collect. tax on the assessments as
they stood prior to that date. The
court also passed their annual bud

prosecutions before justices of the
peace to $4,000, hardly half what
