THE DILEMMA OF JONES.

At the last republican state conven-
ton Congressman Jones was between
the devil and the deep sea. He con-
trolled the thirteen votes of Yakima
county and he found it difficult to de-
eide whether to cast them for the rail-
road commission plank or against it.
His denomination depended upon his
lining up on the stronger side. The
opposing forces We're almost evenly di-
vided and for some hours the issue was
in doubt. Finally it became evident
that Mcbride was going to win and
then Jones made haste to place the
Yakima delegates on the side of the
commission. If he had done otherwise
he would have been retired in favor of
some outspoken advocate of a railroad
commission. Since that time Jones
has shown an inclination to join forces
with the railroad lobby, which demon
strated its strength by inducing the
last legislature to repudiate the repub-
lican party's promises to the people
and by electing its man to the United
States senate.
Jones has control of the party ma
chine in his county and the Yakima
Republic says that the county will give
him its loyal support and place his rl-
terests above the interests of any other
man." In other words the Yakima re-
publicans are willing to do anything
the railroad lobby commands in order
that Jones has elected to stand or fall
with the railroad lobby
1t is we'll that the people of the state
should know just where to place
Jones. and his home organ is entitled
TO thanks for it's service in defining
his position.
Whatever may be the wishes of the
machine politicians in Yakima county
there is little reason to doubt that the
rank and file of both parties share the
prevailing sentiment of eastern Wash
ingtOn in favor of the proper regula :
ton and just taxation of railroads aid
other corporations through a commits
sion. Jones may find that he has
counted too strongly on the allegiance
of his home people when he attempts

TYPES OF BEGGARS.

Racially the beggar will belong to
unfortunate; second, the drunken out
cast; third the professional pan
handler. He of the first class usually
is forced by circumstance TO follow the
line of least resistance into the poorest
and cheapest quarter of the town.
where he wiz not be likely to meet
with his old-time friends, and where
his misery will find sufficient company
to render it unashamed, and so his des-
tination will be one of those cheap
lodging houses, where a warm fire and
ali unclean bed may be had for 10 cents
or less a night. The outehst of the
second class is almost without excep-
ton brought to his degraded condition
through drink, and he takes to the
lower Bowery impersonally, because it
constitutes his natural environment
being where the greatest quantity OF
rum is sold for the least amount of
money, and where a free sleep may be
had during stormy nights on the rear
room floor of saloon.
The professional pan-handler OF the
third class goes down the Bowery. not
because he lives there, for he does not,
but because there he finds sundry re-
sorts which cater exclusively TO his
kind.-"Six Weeks in Beggardom.' by

QUACKS IN GERMANY

In 1902, according to official statistics,
there were in the whole of Prussia 49,
400 doctors and 41O4 quacks. The Ger
man law makes the practice of the
healing art free to all, although there is
a penalty for the unauthorized use of
the title doctor AS a result, quacks
flourish nightly in a state justly con-
sidered in other respects the boly land
of science.
The evil has become so serious. says
the New York Globe, that a society
was some time ago formed in Berlin
for the express purpose of exposing
quackery. Under the auspices of this
body an exhibition of quackery was
recently held in Breslau, where every
thing pertaining to medical quackery
was eXposed-its advertisements, pan
aceas, various methods of treatment,
anti-epidemic masks, universal gastric
juices, bogus electric apparatus, etc.
In the case of one cult the announce
ment was made that during the past
fifteen years its members had collected
from the public over $3.500,0 000 One
section of the exhibition was devoted
to methods for suppressing quacks.

RADIUM SUPPLY.

Sir William Ramsay in recent ad-
dress said that few people realize the
great scarcity of the raw material for
yielding radium nor the exceedingly
minute particles used in the expert
ments that have astounded the world.
The Scientific American quotes him as
saying: 1T is impossible to say
whittier the future supply of raw ma
terial is to come from. j believe that
in America, carnotite looks promising
as a basis fer it, Cleavite. mineral
found in Norway. is also looked upon
as a favorable source of supply. That
there is no more than one-tenth of an
ounce of this substance in existence
seems beyond belief at first thought.
But when we remember that radium
is manufactured by a concentration
and crystallizing process, and that it
is only obtained in the form Of salts
which. may contain but a small per-
centage of pure radium. this does not
seem so strange, after all The amount
of radium salts even, as yet manu-
factured, is very small"
