ANTI-sTAMP FIGHT OVER.
House Refuses to Consider Douglas
Substitute Bill.

Substitute Bill.
The anti-trading stamp fight is over,
with the trading stamp people exactly
started except for an immense amount
through the fight made on them.
The house yesterday refused to con-
slider the substitute bill prepared by
Attorney General Douglas out of it's
regular order and thereby put an end
to the hopes of the forces trying to
legislate against the trading stamps.
Representative Ofsthun wanted the
bill advanced to it's third reading and
placed on It's final passage under sus-
pension Of the rules. His motion for
suspension Of the rules renewed the
ugly fight of Thursday against consid-
GRAFTON Of bills out of their regular or
der. Representative Wilson gave no.
tice that he would oppose any propo-
sitton for suspension of the rules, and,
as a result, the house wrangled through
call of the house and incidental de-
bate consuming more than an hour be-
fore Mr.. OfSthun's motion was lost by
vote Of 20 ayes to "a nays; 80 votes
being necessary to suspend the rules.
Mr. Ofsthun's failure to get his bill
passed yesterday practically settles the
fight and the friends of the measure
gave up hope. AS it stands the bill
cannot be finally considered by the
house before Monday night without
being taken out of its regular order,
which will make 1t next to impossible
Tor 1t to receive the consideration of the
senate.

But while Miss Blake's education
progressed her affections wayered. Or.
perhaps, 1T would be more truthful to
say she coquetted. If Tracey were lifted
to beatific state by purrs Of approval,
1t was only, apparently, that Fleming
might the better appreciate the flirta-
tious waves of the tickle feline's tail
Driven to desperation, Tracey took to
plotting. One night Miss Blake was
missing. Billie, the dapple gray, one
whose back she always slept on, looked
for her that evening in vain. At three
In the morning an alarm of fire was
turned in but no Miss Blake slid down
the pole with the firemen. And there
was no Miss Blake on the little cush-
Toned rack in the rear of the hook and
ladder truck when it whirled off to the
scene of action. Never before had
Miss Blake missed a fire. Fleming
looked suspicious, Tracey guilty. all the
other hremen gloomy.
That evening as the men sat in front
of the fire hall discussing Miss Blake's
disappearance and suggesting ways and
means for her recovery. one of them
gave shout and pointed down the
street. Following his outstretched
arm, the men saw very bedraggled

street. One eye was partly closed. it's

her reputation as the champion mouser

Miss Blake's disappearance did not

of the American association. and Rob.
ert e. Speer, secretary of the Pres

Miss Condo spoke of the great work
OF the association in the colleges
throughout the country. She gave sta
t1stics to show that the work was
growing and that there was still a.
great field which lay open for cultiva-
uon. Dr. Speer spoke on the mission
airy side of the work relating to the
college side. and closed the session
with an earnest appeal for workers in
the missionary field. :

farther complicated the muddle by de-

VIII Miss Blake come back? That is
the question that the firemen of Engine
hall No. 2, Ninth and Fort streets, are
anxlously asking one another. History
proves that cats-Miss Blake is a cat
generally do come back. This predi-
lection of the feline for the place with
which 1T is most familiar has been cell
ebrated in verse, commented on in story.
And Miss Blake, before her departure,
had led everybody to believe that she
found Engine Hall No. 2 a comfortable
dwelling place. Indeed, she was bound
to 1t by every tie of gratitude and If,
through her own Indifference, the hall
sees her no more. then all that has
been written about cats ingratitude
will be believed by the firemen of that
hall and Miss Blake's name will be
odious in catdom
AS the newspaper man would say,
Miss Blake's life reads like a romance.
At least the last three years Of her life
read like romance. Previous to that
period her career is as mysterious as a
stage lady's past. Unlike the stage
lady, however, Miss Blake was never
confronted by any lively ghosts of her
earlier career. This was fortunate
since her present furnished sufficient
excitement. The following is a true ac-
count of how she became an inmate of
Engine hall No. 2, of her life there and

the government while outsiders seem
to approve, now is the time to gath
er it in. The administration has
taken it's stand and has no thought
of r~etreating.'
We do not believe any political
capital can be made GU Of the ac-
ton of the administration. With
the revolution the unanimous action
of the people of the territory on
cerned; with the powers of Europe
asserting to and a very large ma
jOrity of the citizens of the United
States endorsing the course the pres
ident has pursued, we do not see
where opportunity for making polit-
icaI capital comes in. An attempt to
do 50 might act as a boomerang anu
a deadly one, too, on hose under
taking it. Right or wrong the thing
has been done n approved of by
all concerned except the people of
Colombia, who have brought pres
ent conditions upon themselves by
their greedy action regarding the
canal treaty, and some political op-
pOnents of the administration.
Whether our government knew of
the intended revolution beforehand
and gave assurance of aid is another
question. If it did, and the indica-
tons certainly point hal way, it
actly wrongly and in bad faith to
Colombia, but it is too late to dis
cuss that question now. Matters
have gone too far for our govern
ment to recede. That would be try
