rest In the cases Of the "men land

by THE Castle" conducted by Myrtle
Gray.
Contrary to the policy of Chief Of
Police Waller when the women land
ladies'" were arrested. Archie was
taken down to the police station and
booked. This demonstrated that
Archie was not occupying the same
friendly relations to the ''big guy"
of the police force as the women
landladies," who haven't yet been
booked.
In police court this afternoon
Ash was arraigned on a charge of
renting the premises to a woman un-
known to f. E. Dempsie for immoral
purposes.
After Jailer Brockman had gotten
through looking in the prisoners dock

here from the reporters table.

ROckFoRD'S GREETING TO MEAD

railroads that they could not serve
the people freely II elected, Mr.. Mead
said:
II want to say to Judge Turner
that when he makes such a state
ment he states that which is abso-
lutely false"
Mr.. Mead said that when his friends
at Tacoma, who had been making
the fight for a congressional norni-
nation for him, came to him with
the news that the governorship was
within his grasp they also assured
him that the nomination had been
secured with absolutely no. pledge or
promise and on that condition It had
been accepted. His vigorous disclaim-
er OF any connection with railroad or
other corporations was received with
sounding applause.
In humorous but scathing fashion
T. d. Rockwell reviewed George
Turner's political record with its six
lightning changes and scored many
telling points. Following the meet
ing a luncheon was served at which
Mr. Mead met several hundred voters.

Judge Parkers letter was distributed
in this way, and the printed copies
were in most Of the newspaper offices
for a day or two before the letter was
printed.
Documents that are distributed in
this way are supposed to be as per-
feet as the authors of them can make
them, and probably there never was
a political paper which had to be cor
rected after it was given to the press
in this way. Judge Parker was the
first public man who after spending
sixty anxious days and sleepless
nights over a pronunciamento could
not get 1t into. a shape to suit him,
and was compelled to follow 1t with
despairing errata until the roaring of
the printing press warned him that it
had gone beyond recall.
These changes were more remark
able for their number than for their
Importance. Indeed, the significant
thing about them was their trivial
character, considering his anxiety to
have them made. He wanted "divis-
ion' changed to divisions" and
founders" into trainers" For 'the
Dingley act itself" he wished to SUBJ
stitute "the fourth section Of the
Dingley act" and for "of' he wanted
this section Of" He wanted 'the
reciprocity clauses" stricken out and
"this section" inserted. He wanted
eight" instead of mine" and forty
instead Of Seventy and so on. He
craved over 20 Of these corrections,
and, no doubt, would have craved as
many more If these had been time.
The only explanation possible of
these endless corrections is that
Judge Parker was frightened or at
least nervous over his paper. This
