tions. AS nation we are building the
better house. We nave found that it costs
labor and blood to secure the site for our
edihce, that our material. cut from the
forests of the Old World. is rough and un.
| seasoned: that sometimes our workers fail
to enter unselfshly into the spirit of the
enterprise. We at times discover. too. that
we have not followed correctly the plan OF
the great architect. and then it becomes
necessary for us to humble ourselves by
tearing down part of the structure. But,
after all. the building grows, and its pro.
portions already begin, to challenge the ad.
miration OF the world. The critic, as he
sits at the cabin door of monarchy or aris.
tocracy, begins with vague alarm to con
tast the cracked and crumbling walls and
the leaking thatch of his abode with the
rising mansion in the distance.
Inc nations social ideal makes inexor
ah,e demands upcc ev2rv citizen of the re-
public. The world or to-day marvels at
the matchless benefactions of our men OF
wealth, and the nations are asking why it
is that this unprecedented philanthropy is
80 peculiarly American. II is due to the
imperative claims of our social ideal. Pub.
lie sentiment demands, and men of wealth
recognize the demand as just, that private
wealth should be spent for the good of the
nation and for the good of the race. The
educator feels the same pressure. He hears
the voice of the people summoning him to
a free search for truth. The true labor
leader recognizes the same stern call to ser.
vice; so he becomes mediator an arbi.

story in the good Book tells us that
Babel a mighty calamity befell the race
that there the speech of mankind became
confused. In this land of ours Babel is re.
versed. The nations are here assembled
to build the greater tower OF truth, and
the confusion of the Babel tongues gives
place little by little to new language. the
language of love, spoken by the toiing
millions. so that in a sweeter, grander
sense than ever before it is to be true that
the whole earth shall be ''of one language
and of one speech"

Fighting Talk Is Being
Much INDUCED in
by Followers.

There is considerable talk going on
about pulling off few spalrng matches
in this city and forming sort of II
circuit for the numerous fighting men
of the northwest.
OF course certain things must hap
pen before the fond dreams of the box
ers can be realized. One of these
things is to have the athletic club coun-
tenance these matches. There is not
the least doubt in the world that the
game will pay the club if they go at
it in good manner. This question
will no doubt be threshed out at the
meeting of the club members January
II in the United States courtroom,
when an effort will be made to elect
a board of directors in favor of the
fighting game.
The city officials favor ten-round
matches-at least they did the last
time the matter was brought up. Mayor
l.. Frank Boyd once in an interview
with The Press said he favored box
ing matches, but no knockout. In fact,
the mayor favors all athletic exercises
and would rather see such games pros
pering in this city than not.

BECOMES A BENEDICT.

w. w. Clark Of the Warwick pool
room was married last Saturday and
not until yesterday did the news leak
out-then it leaked all at once. Clark
is Familiarity known as the "Kuter
Kid" A gathering of the talent was
called to meet in the Oxford pool
room last night to celebrate the fact
that the "kid" was at last benedict.
One might have thought there was
another horse race on to judge by the
expressions. You see, the bunch all
talk sort of "horsey" in their general
conversation and when they wished the
kid all the good luck in the world
they ''doped him to win out mile"
The "Kuter Kid arrived in response
to an urgent message which required
his presence Immediately at the Ok
ford. He came post it
happened. The kid was loaded down
with presents until he had to call an
expressman. And the kid was Johnny
on the lightning rod, all right. all right
there like duck, too. He was doped
to win from the start. and went to the
post the favorite-led all the way
around the course--came down the
stretch like Proper winning the New
Year handicap, and won easily.
Lou Hunt, as master of ceremonies,
did himself proud and was more than
equal to the occasion. All join in wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Clark long and

The Championship Med.
al Cause Stir Among
the BoWIers.

Interest in the bowling for the prize
championship medal of Spokane is in
creasing rapidly during the last few
days. Some remarkably good scores
are resulting. Some of the men who
for the first dozen games they have
rolled show a small average have an
ie~cellent opportunity to increase this
\ Tge before they have wasted the
o :. James which they are required to
roll before being entitled to consdera-
ton in the contest. After having once
started on these so games every game
they play counts in the so.
Manager Owney Patton is much
pleased with the way the contest has
started off. He says there is plenty
of interest and an evidence that the
averages of the highest men will be
so close the winner will have to exert
himself to his very best to win. A few
better than the published scores of
yesterday.
