The new Spokane professional baseball team will open
in Spokane next Wednesday giving the fans chance to
see the bunch that is representing Spokane in the North
western League for the first time If past experience
counts for anything that Spokane bunch ought to have
enough experience in how it feels to lose game" and
by this time ought to be tired of that sort o. thing One
thing is certain Mr. Merritt and the bunch need get to-
gether and whisper words of advice very mpressively
the ears of the diamond stars, the Spokane fans will
ro up in unhoy wrath and what is worse refuse to pat
rOnize the outfit.

A Modern Instance

On the theory that examples of bravery and self
usual story of Roln Ellison banker, of LaGrange, Ind
ana and that of his family deserves wide publicity.
Eson's bank failed because its proprietor had more
than his share of civic spirit He took great pride in the
growth of his town and to help along its prosperity
into about every enterprise that proposed. He
got in too deep Realizing that he had violated the bank
ing laws he voluntarily pleaded guilty and is serving
short term in the pententary.
Ellison gave up every dollar to his creditors His wife
relnqushed her private fortune.
That is rather unusual to begin with.
Now Mrs Ellison is housekeeper in summer resort no
tel Her is porter and chore boy and her daug
tiers walters the table The boy Dives up college
and the girls society.
Uncommon.
But there is another pretty story coming.
Years ago Banker Ellison helped a young man whom
everybody said was mo account The young man went
west and got rich When Mr.. Eson's bank failed the
young to LaGrange and offered his benefactor
half of his fortune and begged him to take it. Ellison said
81 have violated the law though with no bad intention
will take my medicine. My family is brave one We
will pull through and start again
Anything finer than that
No sir; in Putarch' S lives.
Prison stripes can leave mark that sort of man.
And there shame Of such husband and faith
even though he be in the penitentiary
And that family! 1t is worth going to purgatory and
back again to discover such wife and children

Gives Up 100000 a Year

1t is easy to brag about your patriotism and phan-
thropy 1t easy say what others ought to do with their
money their talents
But if you had income of $500 600 year attorney
for corporations, would you voluntarily surrender it in
der to accept judgeshp at So 600 year!
You say you would-eh?
Well say it softly Whisper it to yourself
People are likely not to believe you.
Judge JAS B. Dill who author of the New Jersey
corporation law, who drew up the charter for the steel
trust and who commanded recognition of the very
greatest corporation lawyers the country has given up
his envabe practice and princey fees and become
mon judge.
1t is remarkable example of immoation. And it is an
extraordinary commentary the methods of high finance
that great corporation lawyer prefers to accept $4,000
position the bench rather than render the peculiar
vices required by the trusts of their legal accompces
No doubt Judge Dill is being overwhelmed with letters
of congratuation and commendaon We enthusiast
ticaly and vocferousy fond of made
by someone else
But We have 100000 practice to give up in proof of
patriotism have other duties and LEGATIONS right at
hand which are just sacred
If who have 100000 practice to give up faith
fully to give up little of time and thong to right
understanding of public affairs and right voting, statues
and court decisions would be commodities that
high priced legal accompices of the trusts may procure
with IMMUNITY
If you think it would be easy for you to gae up $780,
600 year. it ought to be easier still for you to give up
time and serious attention to thorough knowledge of
public affairs

Fishers and Suckers

There those who claim that "a sucker is born every
minute"
And may be stated that the birth rate Of those who
make business of fishing for suckers is also large
AS rapidly one generation is educated by bitter ex
perence OF the hook another is ready The word gener
alton is movable term and may be said that the cred
ulous are constantly coming to maturitq.
Fishers of men with getrich-quick schemes for bait
know how and when and where to fish for their favorite
suckers.
The time of prosperity is the best time to go fishing
for the credulous investor 1t is this time that men, if
ever have surplus The benevolenty inclined fisher is
at hand to offer his highly -colored flies
The sucker passes up the legitimate enterprise He is
1ured by the humbug bait which promises him large re-
turns Today almost the entire force of posoce nspec
tors and secret service busy ferreng out msy
schemes and enforcing fraud orders Government agents
are constantly excluding getrchquick from the
mails
The sucker fisherman does not stay long in one place
the suckers nbble he permits them to swallow the bait

gan. When the war broke out he en-
listed as a private, took part in 66
battles, served under Custer, com
manded the Fifth Michigan regiment
in the army of the Potomac, was
wounded in the battle of Bonneville,

After the war Alger returned to
Michigan and the lumber business.
Fortune favored him. He built rail
roads and invested in mines. Ten
years ago he was already rated as 10
times a millionaire.
Ayers career as a politician began
in 1884, when he was elected gov
ernor of Michigan on the republican
ticket. He was presidential aspir-
ant in the convention which first
nominated Benjamin Harrison. John
Sherman laid his defeat at Alger's
door. In 1896 Alger paid the freight"
and personally conducted the tour
of the generals which helped elect
war, but resigned after the cutlery
against "embalmed beef" Michigan,
however, believed in Alger. and upon
Senator James McMillans death,
sent him to the senate.
