ASSOCIATION OF INLAND EMPIRE
COMMERCIAL CLUBS.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS.
The two-days meeting of the del
egates from the towns and cities of
the Inland Empire was enthusiast
tic, effective and the future results
will be highly beneficial in the up
building of eastern and central
| Washington. Over fifty CONNER
cial bodies were represented, iuclud-
ing Prosser, PascO and Cornell
and Kennewick in this immediate
vicinity and such live towns as Pull
man. Colfax, Garfield, Waterville,
Wenatchee, Davenport, Chewelah,
farther away. At the preliminary
meeting, after general discussion
two committees were appointed
one on plan of permanent organic
alton and one to provide for the in
stallation of permanent exhibit of
the products of the Iuland Empire
at Spokane.
Last week a permanent organic
alton was effected and an executive
committee with large powers elect
ID, of which committee P. F. Park
! r is the member from Benton Co.
A permanent exhibit of products
will be made at Spokane and to
stimulate interest in this exhibit
$4,000 purse is offered by the Spok-
ane Chamber of Commerce to be
awarded in four prizes to the bet
permanent county exhibit.
The spirit of cooperation pre-
dominant in the meeting is shown
in the motto GA Pull Together. -
The Executive Committee of the
Associated Commercial Clubs is
composed Of, F. E Goodall, presi-
dent of Spokane Chamber of Com
merce ex ofhcio and G. B. Dennis,
Spokane; E. T. Comau, Colfax; Al.
Rogers, Watervile; P. F. Parker,
Prosser; .T.Sparks, Kettle Falls;
Byron L. Burns, Moscow, Idaho
This committee is to act for the as
sociation,(D in preparing a consti-
tuition and bylaws, to be presented
to the next general meeting of the
Associated Clubs; (2)to form plan
for securing funds. The only ex-
pense talked efwas the salary for a
permanent secretary who should de
vote all his time to the work and
who should be a trained and exper-
fenced publicity man. The most
important duty of the executive
committee is the selection of the Sc
cretary and upon that official will
largely rest the measure of success
VI tuc enterprise.
The advertising furnished by the
various committees and clubs is 10
be- distributed by the secretary from
his Spokane Office and the constant
stream of inquiries resulting from
the publicity compaign are TO be
handled by him and each home
seeker placed in touch with those
who can furnish him what he is
looking for, whether wheat land.
fruit land, mining, numbering or
what not.
The benefit the individual COM
munity will receive Will dep>nd
very largely upon the effectiveness
of the advertising it has to send
ont through the permanent secre-
tary
Thedelegates pledged themselves
to assist in arousing the interest of
the people at home in the perma-
nent exhibit at Spokene. The ex-
pense of maintaining the exhibit is
to be shared by the counties exhib-
iting in the proportion of the floor
space occupied. The help and ben
eft Kennewick will receive de-
ponds upon the vim and energy of
the Commercial Club.

Christmas and inc Children.

Nearly everybody is ready to cry out against the saturnalia of gifts that the Christmas season ushers in, and pret- ty soon there will be an uprising against it. This will be because Christ mas has become distorted and twisted. It is not the Christmas of olden days. The Christmas of those days was a children's day and that is just what it should be now. The grown-ups should butt out of it just as freely as they have butted into it without rhyme or reason.
 This is not to say that the elders should not exchange gifts. If they so minded let them send gifts on birthday or wedding anniversaries, or on any other old anniversary that comes along. There will be opportunities enough.
 It is the concentration of gifts upon the day that should be devoted to children that works all the mischief that renders the Nativity a dread and burden. Let the grown-ups take themselves out of it except as they serve the children. Hand the day over to the children altogether, and add to it all the poetry that goes with child hood, but none of the stuff that goes with grown-ups. What right has :. grown-up to participate in the gifts of Santa Claus? That famous gift dis. tributer does not know and does not want to know any but children. Give us back, in other words, the Christ mas of hundred years ago, and take away the one that wealth and extrava- gance and luxury have sought to fasten upon us.

MT. Fish's Phrase Fits.

Stuyvesant Fish, formerly president of the Illinois Central railroad, was the principal speaker one day last week at a banquet in East Orange, N. J., and in the course of his address he said:
 District Attorney Jerome has the credit of coinng the phrase, the criminal rich Would he not have come nearer the fact if he had said "rhe anarchistic rich |?
 "The contest is no longer between those who have and those who have not, but between those who have moderately suf- ficiently and even abundantly. and those who, through the use of trust funds and the power incident thereto, seek by ques- tionable practices to have excessively This is the issue which is daily brought into every home in America. Efforts have been made to quiet and hush the clamor which is rising on this subject. Such eff forts may succeed for time, but not in the end"
 The anarchistic rich, They breed anarchy by utilizing Privilege to the filling of their purses until the en- gorgement ushers in discontent and general unrest. They are not them selves anarchists because they desire to use the machinery of government 10 advance their peculiar practices and methods, but they breed anarchists faster than all else in our social fabric. Every swollen fortune is a direct invi- tation to anarchy, and MT. Fish coined a phrase that fits, in the fewest pos sible words, the men who have become the republics latest and most danger OuS menace

Secretary Shaw's Report.

Secretary Shaw unfolds in his an nual report Uncle Sam's balance sheet for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1t is a satisfactory exhibit. Uncle Sam is prosperous The surplus of the year was s25, ,6G9,322, as against deficit in the previous year of $24,0OOO0O. The surplus of the present year is esi- mated at $5S,OOO,0OO.
 The total interest bearing debt stood on June 30 at s925, ,25O, and our own national banks own all but s293 ,616,620 of it. Although we have spent in cash from the treasury $60.- O00,000 on the Panama canal we owe less than we did five years ago-s14,. 000,000 less And as for gold We have on hand $S71 ,S93,S99, a sum without precedent or parallel in national treas uries.
 Large as the surplus promises to be in the present fiscal year, yet it was largely exceeded in 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884. 1887 and 1888. In each of these

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Cotton Convention.

"It is interesting 10 figure on the finan- cial value that the meeting of the South ern Cotton association, which will be held here in January. will be to the city of Birmingham" said Secretary Babb of the Commercial club yesterday.
 Tt will be of far greater benefit to the business men of the city than circus or most any other event of the kind. In fact this will be one of the largest and most important convention ever held in this city, not only from the standpoint Of large attendance, but from the general prominence of the delegates who will at tend. The best people engaged in the business of producing, buying, selling and manufacturing cotton and it's products in the southern states will come and will spend at least three days In the city.
 'It is estimated that at least 300 people will attend the convention, and figuring that each man on an average will spend S6 a day, Birmingham will be benefited to the extent of s300OO day, or $90, GOO during the three days that the convention will be in session.
 Tn view of these facts everything pos sible should be done for the entertainment of these people while in the city.

Trial Marriages.

Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons manual of sociology has become a sensation. Just why it is so regarded it is difficult to say. At a time when thoughtful men in the private walks of life, as we'll as in legislative halls, are endeavoring to render marriage less easily dissoluble, comes a woman instructor in sociology who desires to render them dissoluble at the will of the parties. Her book strikes, in other words, at the home and the family, which are confessedly the basis of our social civilization possibly of all civilization.
 If the daughter of Henry Clews had any recognized standing among the students of the day-if she could show single credential as recognized teacher of the people, the people would be justified in stopping to ask what she wants, but when she comes without known qualifications or ere dentials to set up a theory that out does Sioux Falls in it's most lucrative days, it is not easy to see why she should gain single reader.
 A marriage among honest folks is an experiment in joint living, terminabls by death only. Mrs. Parsons says .t should be but a casual, tentative mat ter to be ended when the parties to 1t so desire. There is nothing new in this proposition. Many have attempt ed it and many more will. It has been thoroughly tested, and it's fruits are bitter and unsatisfactory.
 The home and the family will not be affected by Mrs. Parsons and her book. The home and the family will be cherished and guarded and pro tected long after Mrs. Parsons is gone and forgotten. The net result of the notoriety that attends her book will be an increase in royalties, with no re- sultant damage to the institution that she unavailingly seeks to undermine.

Consolidation of Colleges.

By the decisive vote of 131 yeas and 26 nays the Alabama conference, sit ting at Eufaula, adopted the report of the joint educational commission ap- pointed by the two conferences in this state. This report is to the effect that the two colleges for men in this state should become one and that one is to be the Birmingham college at Owen ton. The two colleges for women are to be consolidated, and a new institu- tion built, probably at Montgomery. The two colleges are 10 be the joint property of the two conferences, and the joint commission in it's report urges the Methodists of Alabama to support the two proposed colleges ia a hearty and united manner.
 The union of the educational inter- ests of the two Alabama conferences is matter of wider importance even than the strong and numerous church that is behind the movement, for 1t means the establishment of two schools that will be well equipped, well supported and well conducted.
 The saddest part of this movement consists in the withdrawal of church support from the Southern university at Greensboro, and from the schools for girls at Tuskegee and Athens, but those institutions are well established and no doubt local support will take the place of church aid when it is withdrawn in accordance with the plan adopted at Eufaula. No little work remains to be done at Owenton, however, before the plan can be puC in full operation. President Mccoy can be trusted to see that that work is properly and fully done.

years the surplus crossed the one hun dred million line. A probable surplus of s5S,000,000 should induce Congress to open some of the rivers of the coun- try, thereby solving the congested transportation problem in some locali- ties at any rate-the Warrior for ex. ample, which is now blocked by squaw Shoals.
 Secretary Shaws report is largely filled with a discussion of our currency difficulties. He has no definite plan of his own, although he recognizes the need of currency reform. He speaks kindly of the bankers plan, but he seems to think that a secretary of the treasury armed with full powers can impart all needful elasticity, but the country will no doubt prefer to know what is coming to plan that permits one man to thrust upon it without mo- tice-a scheme of his own devising, at least as to time and extent.

Likes Birmingham.

'I regret that my time is limited and that I only have part of one day to spend in Birmingham" said W. E. Byars of Rome, Ga, sheriff of Floyd county, who was in the city yesterday.
 This is my second visit to Birmingham The first, like this one, was limited and l had no opportunity to visit and inspect many points of interest in the district I am delighted with what I have been able to see. of your progressive city and hope sometime in the future to spend some time here.
 Since my former visit I see many large improvements in the business section, in- dcating that the city is progressive and growing.
 North Georgia is enjoying great pros perity in all lines of business. Rome con- tinues the steady growth that it has had for many years"

tin, will fill the office of postmasAer general. and Nathan Straus will be made secretary of commerce and labor until his brother, Isadore Straus can take it and hold 1t while oscar Straus gets ready for the job.'
 There was most remarkable jumblng together of cabinet officers and other per- sons, and at the conclusion of each bulle- tin, with it's legend, "No further changes are contemplated" the crowd sang in chorus this appropriate sentiment:
 NO more cabinet changes,
 No more cabinet changes,
 No more cabinet changes,
 Till Roosevelt changes his mind"
 It was just after the singing of one of these choruses that person with auspi- ciously black face and costume ambled into the room. He took a position In the center of the stage, "'jest natral like," and began telling some funny stories. It did not take the audience many minutes to discover that 1t was Lew Dockstader who had come over from the National theatre in his minstrel makeup, being the guest of one of the members. After one of his stories, he sang a song or two in his own inmitable fashion, being assisted by the club singers, who did their part so well that he wanted to engage them on the spot.
 After he had thus contributed to the entertainment, Mir Dockstader divested himself of his burnt cork and exchanged his costume for the conventional dinner suit, after which he took his place at the table. He>was an interested observer of the clubs stunts, and thinks the organ ization could make a fortune if it went on the road.
 ''If you want mana ger" said he, 'let me know
 Then there was an act in which Secre- tary Taft-or rather a member of the club who looked like MT. Taft-came in. bearing large and apparently red-hot stove.
 This is the Cuban situation" he ex- plained as he put down his burden, "and I am going to leave it on the steps of the White House."
 Unless all of the battleships are out of commission" replied President Fearn, "the chances are you will not find any body at home"
 The point of this remark struck Presi- dent Roosevelts funny bone all of a heap.
 Well, after some more persif1age it was decided that the only person who could sit on the lid in Cuba was Judge Magoon, and hefty club member impersonated that monumental statesman A noisy crowd of Cubans forthwith appeared.
 What do you want?" somebody asked them. "We want what we want when we want it 50 that when we get it we shan't want it, was the Cubanesque re- ply.
 A suggestion to disband the Cuban army because 1t was brunette not being considered advisable, and it being im- possible to send it to separate schools, certain officials were appointed to help Judge Magoon in the job of governing Cuba. There was William R. Hearst, who was made governor of Cuba be- cause he could not be made governor of any other place; Representative Wads- worth, who was made secretary of ag-
