GOOD TIMES ARE TOUGH
ON SALAR|ED MEN

Unless a mans salary has been
advanced III during the past five
years he has not been getting his
share of the prosperity. In fact he
has been suffering as much as If he
had been reduced by that per cent.
In working out the cost of liv-
ing the department agents got re-
ports from $500 families as to what
they ate and drank, and how much
they paid for it. These families
were supposed to be typical fami-
lies of the average working class.
Times are good for the mechanic.
Commissioner Neil finds that his
wages have more than kept pace
with the increased cost of living.
and at the same time his hours of
work have been shortened.
The statistics recently published
by the bureau Of labor cover only

manufacturing and mechanical In.

A PRESIDENTS SON GOING
INTO CABINET

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31,-The
next change in the cabinet will be
the retirement Of Victor II. Metcalf
Of the department of commerce
and labor.
This is the prediction of a man
who stands close enough in the
confidence of President Roosevelt
to give the statement the fullest
measure of credibility.
James r. Garfield will succeed
Secretary Metcalf, giving up his
present place as commissioner of
corporations. This is the program.
Garfield was born in October,
1865, in the house at Mentor that
became famous as the mecca of
political pilgrims during the presi-
Dental campaign Of 1880. He was
therefore 16 years old when his
father, President Garfield, died in
September. 1881,
Like his father, Garfield began
his political career as a member
of the Ohio state senate. Then he
became a member Of the United
Etates civil service commission.
When the bureau of corporations
of the department OF labor was
created. Garfield was placed at the
head OF it by President Roosevelt.
Garfield's elevation to the cabinet
would make him the third son of
president to receive that distinc,
ton. The first was John Quincy
Adams. who was secretary of state
under Monroe. Adams also served
in the house and senate. and a term
as president. d,
Robert Todd Lincoln served as
secretary of war during the Gar.
field-Arthur administrations. He
was afterwards minister to Eng

present era Of prosperity. Farmers

sifications.
The government bureau of labor
has just issued a lot of statistics
about wages and the cost of liv-
ing Some people have been misled
into thinking that the figures show
that incomes have increased more
than the cost of food.
This Is true only for that fortu.
nate class known as 'wage-earn-
ers"; they and the very rich.
But there are several million of
salaried men in the United States.
They are the clerks. the bookkeep-
ers the government employees. po-
licemen, firemen. BARRIERS. barkeep.
ers and reporters.
What the salaried man has suf-
fered in the frightful prosperity
which has afflicted the country he
only knows. He has no unions. and
he never strikes; so his salary re-
mains stationary while the cost of
living scars.
The way the cost of living has in
creased In the past 16 years Is
enough to make mans hair turn
gray. Take as a standard the aver
age cost Of commodities during the
ten year period from 1890 to 1899,
and look at few staple articles of
food. Bacon has gone up 1873 per
cent. eggs 31,6 per cent. fresh pork
26 6 per cent. chickens 23.6 per
cent. cornmeal 22.2 per cent, -four
1919 per cent salt ham 1873 per
cent. and so on all through the list.
AS compared with the cost of food
10 years ago, the average cost Of
fooA has increased 1T per cent.
This Is the finding OF the labor
bureau. based on careful and con.
sentative investigation

It LOOKS LIKE
BIG FRAME-UP

Charley Neary posted $1,000 in
Milwaukee, Wis, for fight with
the winner Of the Nelson-Gans fight
at Goldfield, New. This job is as
plain as the fiat nose on Nelson's
face. Herrera, the Mexican, al
ways was recognized as the most
dangerous opponent of the Battler.
Then it was framed up for Neary
to lick the Mexican as the fiuke
with Nelson put him out of the rum
ming. Herrera entered the ring
with Neary so drunk he couldn't
see. 1t looks very much like the
country is facing the biggest coupe
ever pulled off by lot OF fight
sharks. Boxing is getting to be as
bad as footracing insofar as fax
ing goes. Neary's press agent may
be expected to commence floating
dope" Immediately.

PLENTY Of ICE
IN SIGHT

From present indications there
will be an abundance of ice in Spo-
kane next year. The Inland Brew
ing company started up their ice
plant recently and it is reported
that the Schade Brewing company
and the Spokane Brewing and Malt
ing company will also install plants
for the manufacture of ice. It Is
possible that fixed charge may
be agreed on eventually by all the
firms engaged in ice manufacturing
but there is a better chance left
that the people will be able to Sc
cure more reasonable rates in the
future than have been maintained
previous to this summer.

TULL SUED FOR
BREACH OF
PROMISE

Ernest Tull, famed chiefly for
the speed of his automobile and as
heir to the Tull estate, faces a
breach of promise suit for $4,000.
The injured lady is Miss Anna Ber-
land of E423 Third ave We.
She alleges that Ernest wooed
her and won her in April, 1905,
and that 1t was agreed they should
marry In a reasonable tire. Then
the Tull interests were settled, leav-
ing Ernest in posses sion of the
Vendome block. which he recently
sold for $4,000. Miss Anna wants
half of this amount because her af-
fections and pride have been hurt.
Tull is supposed to be in New York.

and care for the paupers of this
one man.
ITO my mind here Is the source
of the unheard of increase of MUIR
der in the United States. Take the
shocking murder recently enact ID
in Seattle, and consider the atti-
tudc of the public toward the per
petrators of that crime. Had yolrs
Mitchell, who slipped up behind
Crenleld and shot him in the bd ck
of the head and killed him, shot
dog in the same manner all good
people would have said he should
be punished to the full extent o.
the law. But because his victim
happened to be an unpopular re
ligious fanatic the people of Seat
tie are reported to have cheere j,
the jury that acquitted him and to
have showered bouquets upon tie
defendant; this too, whe nthe muir
derer to secure an acquittal had
ruined his own sisters reputation
"Take the example of Spencer,
here In Spokane, who wanted to
marry an innocent girl that had
the good sense to reject him. He
takes a drink Of a5sinthe, arms
himself with a revolver and shoots
her to death. Had he drank th,,
absinthe, gone to Mantle park and
killed the beautiful elk kept there
all the citizens of Spokane would
have demanded that he be given
the most severe penalty for such
offenses. AS it was only an inno-
cent woman that died at lis hands
he got short term in prison and
then secured a pardon.
Should the American people con-
tinue to trifle with criminals for 20
years longer as they have in the
past they who live to be 20 years
older will live to know Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 murders being com.
mitted annually. AS it is now IN
the the United States murderers
are killing about 1000 of our ci.i
zens per month.
What would I suggest? Only
one of three things are to be done.
First, faithfully execute the
criminal law; or, secondly, repe Il
the law of murder and make it only
a mlsdemeanor to kill human be-
ing, Furnishing murder as we now
punish men for killing game out of
season.
Third land as a last resort, take
the goddess Of jus tice off our court.
houses and in her stead place there
the statue of a painted and blear-
eyed trumpet.
Yes, l know this strong lau-
guage, but when you reflect that
only / per cent of the murderers
in this country are legally execut-
ed, 2 per cent hanged by mobs ami
81 per cent given prison sentences
and discharged after about Ave
years on an average to pollute So
ciety with progeny that will MUIR
der our children after we are dead,
1t is time someone should use
strong language"

is UNCLE SAM RAISING
RACE OF MURDERERS?

Is the United States in danger
of becoming burdened with race
of murderers, who shed blood from
impulses handed down by guilty
fathers? Is the example set by
this fearful progeny contagious and
productive of new lines of man
slayers? And is our lax enforce.
ment of laws penalizing the taking
of human life responsible for the
fact that the United States homi-
eide record exceeds even that of
haunted Russia annually?
Judge Mcdonald of Colfax, and
now in Spokane, from his expert
ence on the bench and law prac-
tice inclines to the belief that such
Is the case. He says:
"The American people seem alb
solutely oblivious as to the effect
Off lax methods of our people in
administering criminal law. Fiji
teen years ago there were but
abput 1900 murders committed per
anrum in the United States, but
during the past 20 years homicides
have steadily and rapidly increased
unit. now we have reached the ap-
palling number of about 10000 per
year.
MANY well designing people &C.
count for this frightful increase of
murder by placing the blame on the
liquor traffic. But in view of the
fact that many other Christian ma
tions consume as much or more ar
dent spirits per capita as do our
people, and at the same time no
other civilized nation can compare
with ours in number of homicides,
some other solution must be found.
Russia with all her assassina-
tons, does not approach our people
in the number of violent deaths.
But others claim that the numerous
homlcides of this country, and par
ticularly of the west, is to be at
tributed to the fact that we are liv-
ing in the wild and woolly west"
When we reflect that we cross the
boundary line into Canada and find
in proportion to population there
are 10 to 20 murders here to one
there, and that the same is true of
Mexico, the fallacy of the wild and
woolly" theory becomes apparent
THE fact is that both in Canada
and Mexico murder is looked upon
as q more serious offense than kill
ing game out of season and they
promptly execute every person who
deliberately kills another. This
operation while Kidding society of
a dangerous member, also stops the
propagation of other criminals of
the same kind. In the United
States, in many cases, they are
turned loose to raise families and
their children are usually born with
a, murderous instinct. One exam
pie of this will suffice:
ABOUT 100 years ago man gull
ty of murder in New York state
was acquitted by jury. That man
raised a family and a carefully kept
history of his offspring discloses
the startling facts that his descend
ants have committed more than 20
murders, most of them cold blood
ed affairs and 800 other offenses.
The descendants of this one MUIR
derer have cost the people Of New
York over $3,000.000 in taxation to
pros ecute the criminal descendants
