IS MEAD PLAYING SAFE?

Two recent changes in officers
appointed by him tend to indicate
that Governor Mead is making a
desperate effort to counteract and
If possible to nullify the opposition
to his administration on the part
of United States Senators Ankeny
and Piles.
One of these is the discharge of
Warden A. F. KEGS, of the state
penitentiary at Walla Walla, and
the appointment in his stead of NJ.
F.. Kincaid, and the other is the
appointment of Matthew L. Piles,
a brother of Senator Piles, to the
position on the board made vacant
by Mr.. kincaid.
Prior to his appointment as war
den of the penitentiary Mr.. KEGS
was a member of the Croker
Ankeny faction of the party. but
upon assuming the duties of that
Office he gave his allegiance to the
governor and since devoted much
energy to fighting the battles of
the Mead faction of the party.

COUNCIL BRIEFS

President Funk of the city coun-
Gil last night appointed Council
man Gray, Phillips and Laumer a
committee to investigate Captain
John Gray's proposition for the es-
tablishment of city market.
The amendments to the plumb
ing ordinance were referred to the
committee Of the whole and will
in all probability be forgotten. The
amendments refer in particular to
permits being issued before a
cesspool is used.
The petition for a non-partizan
park board was referred to the
committee of the whole.
The council voted to add $500 to
the $500 reward offered by the
county for the capture of the muir,
derer of Reno Hutchinson.
The matter of putting up the
Havermale street bridge, a job that
will cost $3,128, was consigned to

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The
Peoples Lobby" is rapidly be-
coming a reality. The response to
the idea has surprised even its
most sanguine promoters.
That President Roosevelt has let
1t be known that he thinks the
scheme a good one has served, no
doubt, to help 1t along. 1t may be
az well to state that the peoples
lobby is not a Roosevelt idea. He
did not suggest or originate it. 1t
is not fair, therefore, to assume
that the lobby is to be an admin
istration sideshow, or an organ for
boosting RoOsevelt's schemes. The
men who have been asked to serve
as a governing board are of all
parties and walks in life, whose
public records and names are
enough to commend them. The
peoples lobby is expected to be
doing business when Theodore
Roosevelt is private citizen, writ
ing textbooks about animals and
birds.
The first meeting of the peoples
lobby committee has been called
for October % in Washington, at
the Raleigh hotel. The committee
will discuss the scope of the work
arrange organization and consult
with President Roosevelt.
The purpose of the peoples lob
by is to maintain at Washington
an organization, or equipment,
which will do for the great mass
of the common people what is done
by the multitudinous Hobbies main
tanned by the multitude of special
interests" The lobby will under
take to keep a little closer watch
on legislation and Legislators than
has been possible in the past. The
work of making laws for S0,000,000
people is a complicated job. No
one man can keep tab on every
| thing. There are secret session of
committees which ought to be open
| sessions. There are unrecorded
votes on vital matters which ought
/ to be recorded and reported to the
voters. There are important little
paragraphs buried in the middle
of great tones containing the an
nual appropriation budgets. Things
like these, together with the rec

NEW FIRE LIMITS

Captain John Gray's ordinance
to extend fire limits was read in
the council last night. Captain
Gray said his plan was endorsed
by the fire department, business
men and health department. His
plan contemplates taking in all

In the recent factional fight the
Ankeny faction was victorius and
thereby became menace to
Mead's power in the state. The
discharge of Mr.. KEGS, therefore,
has the appearance of a sacrifice
on the part of the governor to plac-
ate the rising wrath of the Croker
influence.
Mr. Kincaid is recognized as ow-
ing political allegiance to the
Crocker-Ankeny machine and his
appointment as warden of the peni-
Tertiary looks like a further effort
to placate the wrath the machine
might otherwise feel towards the
governor.
The appointment of Mr. Piles as
a member of the board of control
was made without the knowledge
of Senator Piles and is an appoint
ment of such a nature as to con-
stitute a political obligation toward
the governor on the part of the
Junior senator.

ords Of members of congress, the
peoples lobby will look after with
its expert lawyers and agents. The
facts they will hand out to the
Washington correspondence and to
anybody that wants them.
One of the best evidences Of
popular support for the lobby is
the way the subscriptions are COM

They even strike the White House

WHAT TO EAT in WINTER TIME

(This is the second article by DR..
Latson on Common Sense Living
in the Winter Time.")
The temperature of the normal
body, summer and winter, is main
tanned at an even level-about 100
degrees. Now, in summer, when
the air is warm, this temperature
of the body is kept up more easily
than In winter when the cold air
fairly drags the heat out of the
body.
Body heat is produced just like
the heat of the steam engine-by
process Of burning. Only, while
the steam engine burns coal, the
body burns food.
This Is why people need more
food in winter than in. summer
And, naturally, we find that ma

tives in the tropics eat little; while
the people who live in the frigid
zone eat heavily.
Now, what is the best food in
winter? How much should we eat
and how often? The best food is
the simplest. For breakfast: &C.
real it'll cream; brown bread and
butter; glass of milk; perhaps
some fruit; perhaps an egg beaten
up in the milk.
For dinner; Beans or peas; bak-

rice or cereal; simple salad;
fresh fruit; bread and butter. A
small quantity of meat may be
taken instead of peas or beans. A
glass of milk with the meal will do
no harm.

cate but two.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 24.-For
the murder OF his elderly wife,
whom he blames for his moral
downfall, John c. Hammond, age
"a, carpenter, is now on trial. The
crime occurred year ago and was
rendered more sensational because
the victims body was discovered
concealed in trunk in their rooms
a week after Hammond had dis
appeared.
When he went away he had
81, 300 of her money, which he says
had been given to him to buy
farm for her, the woman's inten-
tons being to remove from Albany
with him because she was jealous
of other women there. This money
aided him in making his escape to
Alaska.
However, the haunting memories
of his fatal last encounter with her,
and her body rising up in the trunk,
were always with him, and tor
mented by remorse he gradually
made his way back toward New
York. He reached point near
Chicago penniless, was arrested as
a vagrant, and in the police station
saw posted circular describing
him and the crime. AS soon as he
was released he hurried home on
freight trains and gave himself up
to the authorities.

The Young Man.

One of the greatest blessings CON
nected with "no.license" is the fact
that it makes it harder for the young
man to learn to drink and easier for
him to keep temperate.
An open saloon makes many Young
men drinkers
We do not contend that ''no.license"
saves all, but we sincerely believe that
1T saves fifty per cent, and surely
we should be thankful for any saving
in this respect.
The young man OF the middle and
upper classes does not desire to be-
come a drinker and he has too much
self respect to sneak into the low
dives
Keep the saloon under ban where
1t surely belongs and certain per
centage of these young men will be
saved who would otherwise 90 down
and our hope for the future is in the
young man and not in the old drink
ers.
Help him keep sober minded by the
unlicensed and closed saloon.

Some More Finances.

In NO License year there will still
be a large amount of liquor sold to the
old regular drinkers, who will sneak
in the side or back door. They will
get it," but conservative estimates
declare that not more than one half
the amount will be expended
If this is true we certainly ought to
rejoice that one half or the above
goods are given to the people instead
of the amount of liquor the money
would buy, for not only does the JOY
and blessing from so many good things
go into our home, but one-half the
courses of intemperance are held
away. We have known children to
stubbornly refuse half piece of pie or
cake because they wanted and could
not have whole piece.
We rejoice that we have learned to
take the half loaf" and be thankful
for that. We hope that there will be
many voters who feel as we do about
"no-licenSe."
1t Is not the whole loaf, but il Is
certainly better than license
