that the drivers union had no license
to strike and that the gasmakers'
union had no license to exist, though
it found that the employees forming
the gasmakers' union are worthy, de-
serving and capable employees, with
one exception"
In this mutilated way the Spokes-
man-Review now publishes references
to the eminent fairness Of the candi-
date as testified to by one of three
unions involved. The business agent
of the trades council at the time the
question of arbitration was preached
was f. F. Quinn, and 1t was he who
suggested the name of George Turn
er MS one of the arbitrators. Quinn
is an active democratic worker and
may be seen almost any day about
democratic headquarters. He was
also the director general of the
trades council carnival Of a year ago
last summer which made q profit of
$40 net. These are the facts, and
from them one may easily CLEAN an
idea of the channels through which
II came about that that plumbers
bill of clean health was given George
Turner at Just this juncture.

ROOSEVELT DID NOT k0TOW TO TURNER

If It should ever come to the notice
of President Roosevelt, he would
probably be thoroughly disguised
with the attempt Of the Spokesman
Review to make political capital out
Of the fact that the president by
force Of circumstances arising over
the passage Of the treaty commission
bill in the United States senate, was
perforce compelled to name George
Turner on the Alaskan boundary COM
mission. Roosevelt is man who
would disdain to accept a pull of
himself to any position by another
mans coattails, and he probably
would feel like whacking the editor
Of the Spokesman-Review on the head
for bringing his personality into this
state campaign. Along with 1t would
probably come pretty forcibly ex-
pressed opinion of George Turner for
not calling the editor down before
Roosevelt had to do it.
To a man of Roosevelt's rugged
and uncompromising character it
must be very depressing to have the

men who listen to the tickers in Wall
street, come across the continent to
the great Pacific slope and the state
of Washington"
This is indeed, curious state of
affairs, but 1t is not worth any dis
cussion. aside from it's value as an
illustration Of the straits in which
the Turnerites find themselves. After
the Alabama delegation told the story
about Turner in their state he did not
get enough votes at st. Louis to be
called a candidate for the vice presi-
dency. That's about as much as the
democrats Of the country in national
convention assembled cared for Mr.
Turner's distinguished ability. Some
weeks hence Mr.. Robertson will be
able, by process of like reasongin. to
state that George Turner never ran
for governor.

1t has just been stated that the
Northern Pacific will pay $432.32 per
mile of taxes this year and the Great
Northern will pay $44s.69 per mile Of
taxes, in each case whether that mile
be inside the limits of the city of
Spokane, where there is highly valu-
able property adjoining the railroads,
or whether 1t be in the vacant coun-
try districts, where adjoining prop
erty is not assessed at 26 cents an
acre.
According to the report of the Wis

Follette's> for 1908 the average tax
paid per mile in the United States is

Here's another instance where the
Spokesman-Review has not given 8
complete statement of case. In
the columns of that paper and also
in those of its afternoon edition has
appeared a statement to the effect
that the plumbers union felt that 1t
could not have received better treat
ment than 1t received from George
Turner as member of the committee
Of arbitration which sat on the gas
strike in May of last year. Unionism
generally in this city does not feel
that it has had any too fair treat
ment at the hands of the Spokesman
Review and the appearance of this
boost for Turner attracted attention.
At the time the report of the arbi-
tration committee was made it was
not considered of enough Importance
to find any prominent place in the
Spokesman-Rev which at that
time was not saying very much about
unionism. From the columns of the
Chronicle one may get a view of the
facts in the case. The commission
of which George Turner was one de-
oided that the plumbers union and
the gas corporation were all right,

ing him in position of salaaming
and honoring and kowtowing in his
anxiety to pay high tribute to the
ability of Judge Turner" The only
reason why this Is mentioned in these
columns now is to complete the rec
ord which the Spokesman-Review left
unfinished and to give the public the
benefit of what President felt about
George Turner as he was approaching
Spokane a year ago last May, when
he knew that George Turner was the
chairman of the committee of ar
rangements for the reception to him
self of the people of this city 1t
is singular that the Spokesman-Re-
view overlooked this especially perth
nent move of the president, for in
the columns of that paper on May 81,
1908, appeared these words:
THE second thing ordered by Mr..
Loeb (secretary to the presidenD was
that the party in the presidents car
riage was to consist of the president,
Secretary Loeb, Governor Mcbride
and Mayor Boyd. 1t had been in
tended that Judge Turner should ride
with the president. But on receipt
of the telegram he had to give way"
At the time it was a matter Of
open discussion on the streets of
Spokane as to whether the president
would allow George Turner to make
political capital out of the visit Of
the chief of the nation. That the
president was anxious enough to ward
off any such calamity Is shown by
the fact that he instructed Secretary
Loeb to send that telegram with it's
instructions to fill the carriage and
leave George Turner out of 1t.
This interesting part of the record
the Spokesman-Review did not pub
lish in connection with it's recent ex-
altation of George Turner on the Pc
destal Of Theodore Roosevelt.

Music as Medicine.

From the days of Saul and David
music has no doubt been the means of
alleviating. If not of actually curing,
many serious cases of mental disease.
Modern experience has proved this con-
clusively, and many instances may be
quoted from ancient history.
Pythagoras commended music in the
treatment of the insane, and Thales,
when pestilence rayaged Sparta,
found in music his most powerful
means of combating it. Henocrates
soothed maniacs by 1t, and Theophras-
tus held that even the bites of venom
Gus reptiles were rendered less fatal
by subiecting the victims TO the intlu
ence of melody.

bid and Responding condition, Farinelli,
the vocalist, was sent for by the queen,
with party of musicians, to sing and

Nuts are not only the cheapest source
of energy; they are the best. They are
made up of fat and what is called PRO
tein." The little husks on the nuts are
not nourishiDg, but they should be eat
en- with the nuts because they help in
digestion.
But nuts are so hearty food that
they should never be eaten except as
the chief dish at a meal; they should
not be taken at the end of a heavy
meal nor between meals. 1t is quite as
foolish to eat nuts after meal as it
would be to eat a beefsteak after a
three course dinner.
Nuts can be made into soups. can be
used in sandwiches. salads and in 9th
err combinations both attractive and
wholesome. They should be eaten with
salt and eaten with all sorts of fruit. A
whole wheat pudding with chopped
nuts in it makes meal by itself
Nuts will keep you warm, give ener-
gy, and, if you do not work too hard.
they will increase your flesh, but do not
eat nuts to any amount unless you give
up meat, for they are substitute, not
a food accessory.

In the state of Colombia there is a
large ant (Atta cephalotes) which
causes a great deal of injury to planta-
tons. 1t attacks and carries off indis-
criminately all kinds of foliage, and no
sort of vegetation seems to come amiss
to it. The quantity of foliage carried
off by these ants is immense. A natu-
ralist recently investigated the uses to
which the ants put this mass of vege-
table matter, and he ascertained that
they employ it to make hotbeds upon
which their eggs are deposited TO be
Matched by the heat produced by the
fermentation of the leaves. The ants do
not eat these portions for food. and the
larvae are fed upon carefully selected
diet. Once the brood is hatched the
ants clear away the hotbed, carrying
out of their nest all the decomposed
vegetable matter This is thrown out
in heaps apart, and in the large ant
hills these heaps will contain bushels
and upward.

Many Scotch clans have several tar
tans. such as a common tartan, hunt
ing tartan and full dress tartan. Ear
ly in the day a highlander of position
dons kilt of plain tartan, and in the
evening for dinner he puts on his full
dress tartan. with sporran and richly
jeweled dirk. For example, the Mac
pherson dress tartan is black and
white, with narrow red line, and the
hunting Macpherson is a small blue
and black and red check. The Stuarts
have three tartans, and the design of
their hunting tartan in dark blue and
green is particularly fine. Each clan
has its own badge. The Duff men wear
