AS PARKER TELLS
THE STORY

Kid Parker is curiosity now.
Since his fight with Barney Mullin
last Friday night at Phoenix, B. c.,
his face is so swollen out of shape
that he is the real battle scared
hero. The Kid says Barney looks
so bad he's afraid to show up.
Here's the way Parker tells it:
There we stood, toe to toe, both
trying to settle our debts. Barney
wanted to show me that l couldn't
lick him when he had all his meat
on, and | tried to show him that
could. I didn't block anything ex-
cepting with my face-neither did

spectators and all, had enough, we
were sliding around like one of

That's what Parker calls box

u. FIRST PRACTICE.

You have been considerably up
set all day.
If you had not been so calmly
dignified in your assurances to the
coach that you would report for
football practice that afternoon
you'd vastly prefer loafing down at
the smoke joint or over at the frat
house. In fact you think of a
dozen places decidedly preferable
to the football field.
Your friends have not received
the news exactly as you thought
they would. Instead of being i'm
pressed, even grateful, they have
laughed immoderately, and bawled
silly things at each other.
Gee" they have grinned; get
on to the shape of him, Billy"

face. Besides, the weather's turn

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
Law DECLARED invalid

Judge Black, of the superior
court of Snohomish county, has
ruled in recent school case that
the compulsory education law now
being enorced in this state is in
valid.
He holds that the act is too
carelessly worded and indefinite
to be effective. The decision was
handed down in the case of a pa
iron who had been called into court
on complaint Of the county super
intendent. Permitting a child to
remain absent from school was the
cause of action alleged.
In Spokane county, and practical
ly all other counties of this state,
the compulsory education law has
been enforced rigidly, superinten-
dents taking the ground that par
ents had no right to detain a child
at home without express permits
sion of the superintendent.

HIDDEN DANGERS

Uric acid is a deadly poison that
is produced in the human body,
and it is the duty of the kidneys
to collect this poison from the
blood and to pass it safely out of
the system, together with all waste
water.
1t is the presence in the body of
an excess of uric acid that causes
so much pain and suffering, and
so many of the aches that are com.
monty attributed to rheumatism.
The kidneys are bean-shaped or
gans, composed of masses of little
tubes, all of which pour their secre.
lions into a main channel that
leads to the bladder. In this way
the kidneys pass off more than an
ounce of poison every day when in
health.
But IT does not take much to set
the kidneys back, and when they
get behind, they cannot right
themselves without help. The uric
acid begins to clog the kidneys,
causing that dull, heavy aching in
the back, and sharp twinges when

RAILROADS To
SHOVE Up
RATES
(Scripps News Association.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. "a
The first effect of the new rate law,
as it now appears, will be to raise
rates and lessen competition among
the railways. These are the two
results certain to follow the series
of conferences which have been in
progress for the past six weeks
between the interstate commerce
commission and the traffic agents
of the railroads.
The conferences between the
commission and the railway men
have been for the official purpose
of reaching mutually satisfactory
understanding as to the require
ments of the law as to publication
of tariffs. Every great railway in
the country has been represented
at these conferences.
j. c. Stubs has spoken for Har-
riman, and as chairman of a COM
mittee has represented all the
western roads runnings out Of Chi
cago, as far north as Canada and
south to the Mexican line The
great eastern trunk lines, the New
York Central, the Pennsylvania,
the Delaware & Lackawanna and
allied interests were represented
by Captain G. ]. Grammar, J. B.
Caldwell, w. B. Thayer, Nixon and
others; the southern roads were
represented by Messrs. Culp, Pow.
ell and others.
AS the long conference was draw
ing to a close and speech had be-
come more free, the following sig
nificant remark was dropped by
Captain Grammar, the voice of the
powerful Vanderbilt interests:
This law gives us a chance to
line up all these rates, and we

What The READERS Think

To the Organized Laborers of
Spokane: l understand that Man
ager Bihler, of the Barber Asphalt
company, has stated that l offered
to furnish him all the teams he
wants at $3.50 per day. In reply
will say that this statement is
false; that l have never made
such offer. Furthermore, will
state to all the unions of Spokane
that Mr.. Bihler came here with a
fight on organized labor and has
tried to keep it up ever since. Let
me also state that he has employed
non-union labor every time he had
a chance and there has not been
one month in the past five but
what organized labor has had to
go after him for something or
other.

ANOTHER VICTIM

Another charge of vagrancy will
in all probability be filed against
the bunco men arrested yesterday
for conducting a fake shooting gal
lery. This morning a Greek, with
name which none of the police
could spell, said that the other day
he went into the joint and paid 25
cents for shot at one of the
targets. He saw the cappers win
ming expensive revolvers and
watches and tried to do the same
500 worth. When he got through
shooting off the money he told
some of his Greek friends about it,
who tried to convince him he had
been buncoed. He wouldn't be-
lieve it until they told him last
night of the expose made in yester-
day afternoons Press.
