SEATTLE, Jan. lin 1890 Super
ior Judge R. B. Albertson took In pay
ment of a $500 fee from a poor client
a bundle of contracts from the state

INSPECTION JOBS FOR COUNCIL
MEN.

And now it is proposed to create
new salaried city officer, an inspector
of saloons, to see that the city ordin-
ances governing saloons are not vio-
lated 1t is generally supposed that the
duty of enforcing the city ordinances
as we'll as the state laws within the
city limits belongs to the police de-
partment Not long ago the number of
policemen and the cost of the depart
ment were doubled in order to secure
the enforcement Of the laws.
Is the police department unable to
cope with the saloon problem? 1t is
not able to enforce the laws against
gambling, the Sunday law, the law
against selling liquor to minors and
probated drunkards and other laws af-
fecting the, saloons? If so, it is a pitt
full confession of weakness that calls
for some more drastic remedy than the
adding of another policeman to the
force under the name of saloon in
spector.
Perhaps it is the intention of this
ordinance to create another job for
councilman. The office of building in
spector was created for the benefit of
Councilman Glasford. who is disquali-
fed to hold it under the law. Perhaps
Councilman Kirkman will take the job
of saloon inspector under the advice
and direction of Stevenson-Potts ct al
Then the council might give the job of
weighing inspector to another member.
If there is a demand for more jobs for
councilmen the council might create
the offices of electric light inspector,
red light" inspector, hydrant inspec-
tor sewer inspector and health inspec-
tor. Then every councilman might
have Job that would pay salary.
The majority of the council has been
making an unenviable record of ex-
travagance by increasing salaries, Gre
ating new offices, cutting down hours
of service and adding to the payroll in
other ways, and while they are about
it they might as we'll create fat jobs
for themselves.

publicity and also Of internal improve
ment.
II is the object Of Mr.. Jennings i'm
bringing this alliance into being 10
form national power. The seven states
hovo twelve senators and sixteen rep
resentatives in congress. were these'
twenty-eight working together for ALI
tne interests of the Pacific coast they
,,,ou,d he power that would make it
self felt in national affairs. This power
working in unison would mean inter-
no, improvements in all Of the states
interested, which can be obtained In no
other way. Under the alliance when
washington, Oregon or any other state
concerned desired federal aid or action,
she would be backed by the power OF
all the representatives of the other
s+.tes and with these men working
toeether there is no measure they
could not pass through congress.
In the matter of publicity combi-
,.tion under one central organization
would simplify the work and increase
tne mower many fold. The money
now spent by the individual states ana
their individual counties would be uu-
lied to the best advantage for the
whole section, because what Will oulld
>or+ f tho section will benefit the
whole. With such concentration OF
anarev the results would be immediate
and marked.
In. addition to internal improve
ment and publicity it would be pos
sible under sucn an alliance to form
home markets for the products OF the
Pacific states, and thus obviate the
long hauls and far shipments which
now eat the profits of the producers Of
the west. Eacn state would utilize
the products of the others and with the
increased population there would be a
, demand for home supplies which would
make an enormous and most profitable
market for everything produced in any
| of the states interested.
Initial work looking to the forma-
| ton of this alliance is now being done
| by prominent promotion workers ana
| the plan is meeting with hearty coop

STRENUOUS EFFORTS ARE BEING
MADE TO FORM SUCH AN
ORGANIZATION.
Object Is to Advertise and work IN
Harmony for Development Of Pa
cific Coast.

..The empire that shifted from the
Mediterranean will, in the lifetime of
those now children, bid fair to shift
once more westward to the Pacific.
To assist the contamination of this
prophecy of President Roosevelt is
the object of the efforts that are now
making to form a Pacific States alli-
ance in which will be combined the en-
ergies of the best development workers
Of California, Oregon, Washington
Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and the territory
of Arizona. Rufus Jennings, the act
i've and tireless head of the California
promotion committee, the organization
which has unified California. con-
ceiyed the idea of doing for the Pacific
coast what the California promotion
committee has done for that state. The
$50 commercial organizations Of Cali
fornia today are working in unison
through the central organization, and
all the chickering's and jealousies which
formerly marked promotion work are
things of the past. The idea of zone
for all, all for one" has made Califor-
MIA the best advertised state in the
union. 1t is the realization of this eff
fective work that has brought out the
plan of forming an alliance of all the
states and territory on the Pacific
coast
While formerly the counties of the
states of Californ a, Oregon and Wash
ington were wasting their energies in
individual advertising they are now
cemented together through central or
CARNATIONS in each of those states, to
the benefit of the counties themselves
and larger benefit of the states as
wholes. The advertisement and de-
velopment work of the Pacific states is
in the same condition as was that of
the counties mentioned, and as all the
interests Of these states are identical
it is believed that the work can be
given an impetus by an alliance which
will work wonders in the matter of

THE MOROCCO QUESTION.

The Moroccan situation is some
what analogous to the condition of
Egypt when Great Britain took hold
of its finances and administration.
France claims "a special and privileged
position in Morocco because she is the
nearest continental power, and because
she is neighbor to Morocco in AL
geria Germany denies Frances special
position and demands an international
administration. This would give Ger
many a voice in the police arrange
ments and would be blow to French
practical monopoly of the trade.
Last summer, when France was car
rying things with a high hand, Ger
many put in a word to the effect that
she would like to see a conference neld
on the Moroccan question. After mat
tiers had come almost to war, M. Del
casse suddenly retired from the foreign
office and a conference to be partlcl-
pated in by Spain, Italy, Great Britain,
Germany and France, was agreed upon.
That conference is about to be held,
and its outcome is looked forward to
with feverish apprehension by all Eu-
rope The diplomats divide on the
questions which will disclose how near
force war upon France. They are sat-
isfied that he is intent upon forcing
questions which will disclose now near
the entente between France and Great
entente between France and Great
Britain resembles a treaty.
The Moroccan question is not of
itself large enough to warrant all of
the noise that is being made and on
its merits France has nearly all the
right of it. Her citizens are in Moroc-
co and the subjects of Great Britain
and Spain have been taught to look to
her for justice and protection in their
dealings with the Moroccans. German
subjects might do the same with en-
tire safety to themselves. But the
kaiser, it is suspected, is making the
most of it for two reasons, one to dis
close the relations between Great
Britain and France, the other to try
France up to the very point of war TO
petite for fight and whether her gov
eminent has any confidence in her
army.
The situation is a most trying one
for the French cabinet, which is
charged with the duty of protecting
from humiliation a proud and excitable
people, and on the other hand of saw
ing such a people from disastrous
defeat in hopeless war Not one mil
itary man in ten believes that France
has half chance in land war with
Germany. The German military ma
chine mas had uninterrupted develop
ment, while the army of France has
gone from scandal to scandal, and is
today in the hands Of men whose mil
itary capacity is a totally unknown
quantity. Even if France had a treaty
with Great Britain it would be of
doubtful efficacy. Germany could
march to Paris without coming within
reach of England's navy and should
Great Britain attempt to aid her on
land she would merely evoke the drei-
bund. France would get all the hard
knocks and none of the fruit in such a
war

the extent of threatening a diplomatic

it looked as though something was

George Mottet had opened the Idle
Hour saloon and sold liquor before ne
had been granted a license by the city
clerk. He wanted to know on what
authority the saloon had been opened.
After considerable discussion, in which
a number of city officials were mildly
charged with not performing their
duty, it was explained that after the
council had voted to grant Mottet a
license he supposed that he cou.I begin
business without waiting until the Ii
cense had been issued to him by the
clerk. The matter was then dropped,
but it was limited that if such a thing
occurred again that some one. would
get into trouble.
The chief of police reported that the
following saloon licenses would expire
in February: John Hale Patrick Dom

Councilmen Cox, Bacntold, Mexican
and Martin opposed the motion on the
that the employment of an engineer
should be deferred until after the re-
suit of the special election was known.
Kirkman stood behind Glasford and
wanted Weile employed. He said that
the people of Walla Walla were much
befuddled by the recent stories printed
in The Evening Statesman about the
surveys that had been made. While
he believed that the paper had gone TO

representative over the line to make an
inspection, he was not in position to
say whether or not the statements
made were true and that conditions
were such as had been printed.

position was lost by the following vote:

SHOULD PREPARE FOR WAR
Congressman Says We Should

CHINA MAY GIVE US TROUBLE
Says Japan Is Not lnciting China to
Make Disturbance, but will Pre-
serve Peace.

Chairman 7. A. Hull, OF the Mill
tary Affairs committee, in presenting
the army appropriation bill to the
House urged the necessity of complete
preparedness as to our army ana
navy for trouble In the Orient. He
declared that any nation not prepar-
ed to defend its position in China
might as well haul down its flag and
quit the Pacific.
Mr.. Hull secuted the idea that
Japan was interested IN stirring up
trouble in China to injure the United
States. Japan's interests in China,
he said was identical with those OF
the United States, and preservation
of peace there was the only manner
in which they could be maintained.
Mr.. Hull made an interesting di-
grcssion to the situation In China to
emphasize his position that the fight
ing arms OF the government, the army
and navy, should be kept in efficient
condition to meet all emergencies.
He hoped no trouble would come,
"but there exist to-day conditions In
the Orient that make II necessary for
us 10 preserve our prestige, our pow
or and our rights, even to the extent
of being ready to fight for them"
