WHAT'S IN MeCLURE'S?

McClure's for January opens the New
Year with an astonishingly good num-
Der, distinguished, as usual by the
clean-cut, vigorous tone Of its articles,
and by fiction of marked excellence.
Mary Baker G. Eddy: the Story of
Her Life, and the History of Christian
Science opens it's first installment in
manner that practically insures the
success Of the serial with the American
public. Its tone is clear, conservative,
and incisive. and it presents the re-
markable story of Mrs. Eddy's child
hood and youth, and the early in
fluences which nodded her career in a
narrative of absorbing interest. Carl
Schurz has an unusually strong article
describing his first meeting with Lin
coin. and the famous Lincoln-Doug-
las debate at Quincy, Illinois. Eugene
Wood writes with irresistible humor
of 1.-The Drama in Our Town." Bur-
ton ]. Hendrick takes up one of the
most striking social phenomena of our
times-the great Jewish invasion of
New York.
Carl, by Ada Melvin, the story of
a Swedish pioneer child, is a tale OF
quite unforgettable and touching
beauty. In 1.-The Man Who Knew"
Perceval Gibbon relates a tragedy Of
the veldts with great power and sim
plicty. "Remodeling It." by Lily A,
Long. is a fascinating comedy of sit
uation. ''The Pot-Hunters," by Rex

ADJUSTMENTS
"THE SULTAN OF SULU."


THE Sultan of Sulu'' will transfer
his court to the stage of the Keylor
Grand next Sunday and Monday. He
will sit in state on those nights, and
it is expected that everyone who is
anyone in this city will be presented
to the monarch.
The comic potentate is the creation
of George AIDE and Alfred G. Wathall
The author of Fables in Slang" is re-
sponsible for the words and lyrics, and
Mr.. Wathall is credited with the de-
lightfully catchy music, for which the
piece is famous. Mr.. Adel has added
much to his fame by his bright satiri-
cal treatment of certain consequences
of the occupation of the Philippines
and the introduction there of Amer
lean characters, cocktails, alimony
and other things incident to up-to-date
civilization. The story of "The Sui
tan of Sulu' is the history of HIRAM,
who rules the island of Jolo or Sulu
Ki-Ram has abducted some of the
nieces of neighboring chief or Datto
The Americans who arrived upon the
scene compel him to abdicate and
make him governor of the island in
stead. His matrimonial affairs might
have remained unnOticed if he had not
proceeded to make wholesale love to
the American women who have come
to help civilize the Philippine natives.
He proposes marriage to Pamela Fran
ces Jackson, unblushingly confiding to

that strOng-minded spinster that she
will be one of eight or nine wives al
ready sharing his love. Pamela is
shocked and threatens revenge. She
is made judge advocate of the island
and orders the governor to divorce all
law by which the divorced wives shall
each receive alimony to the amount
of One-half of his income AS there
are eight wives, this means four times
in his own Jail. Matters grow dark
err and darker for KiRam and his pri-
vate secretary, Hadji, who is impris-
oned with MIN for alleged treachery.
straightens out matters by stating
that the constitution follows the flag
on Tuesdays and Thursdays only, so
HIRAM is allowed to go back to some
of his old practices. but he loses his
wives, as many of these have found
sweethearts among Uncle Sans blue
jackets, and he must stick to his first
and most faithful spouse, Galula,
his harem.
1.-THE Sultan of Sulu" is handsome
ly mounted production in every sense
of the word; neither pains nor ex-
pense have been spared to make it an
artistic, musical and dramatic success.

more from the sale of ducks and duck
eggs than he does from the govern
ment. The man boosted of the fact to
me when he was in Spokane last year.
He has a gasoline launch which he
uses in his work and goes to the nest
ing places daily for eggs. He takes a
small boat to go around in the
marshes to collect the eggs. He told
me he got eggs by the barrel full and
sold them to the miners for FOOD
1t was this portion of the article in
particular which attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. Palmer. He has written
to Mr. Wiesemann asking for the
name of the offender, and says in
part:
81 should be greatly obliged if you
would send us any facts in your pos
session relative to this destruction of
wild fowl and their eggs or any in
formation which can be used to pre-
vent the recurrence of the practice"
DR.. Henry Power of Spokane joined
with Mr. Wiesemann in the fight and
wrote to Dr. Alexander Lambert of
New York city, one of the prominent
members in the Boone and Crockett
club, and has gained an ally in DR..
Lambert. DR.. Lambert, in reply to the
letter of DIR. Power, says:
Roosevelt Interested.

such matters referring to the destruc-
ton of ducks and their eggs) and |
know that the president is also.
shall be very glad to help you in ev-
cry way can and shall be glad to see
that any petition you desire to send
on the matter is placed in his hands

for Alaska were passed, and the presi
dent is member very much interest
ed in the doings of the club. Besides,
we have members who look after Just
the sort of thing you desire. Send on
your petition and shall place it
where it will do the most good"
This letter from DR.. Lambert has
raised the hopes of the local sports
men. They little realized the matter
would be brought so directly to the no.
tice of President Roosevelt. Mr.. Wiese-
mann has prepared letters in answer
to those received and states the name
of the offender referred to in his ar
ticle is Major Matson. 1t is not known
just what line of work he is employed
at in Alaska, other than that he holds

LOCATING THE BLAME.

Mr.. Nash's famous cartoon OF Tweed
days, w no stole the people money!?
is recalled by the number and variety
of the excuses which are given for the
conditions connected with transporta-
ton facilities which exist in various
parts of the country at the present
time. The farmers of the west and
northwest find money tight because
they cannot obtain from the railroad
companies sufficient cars to move the
great crops whose sale would BRING
abundant wealth. The people of much
of the same territory are suffering
from the want of fuel because the rail-
roads do not furnish the coal COM
panies the necessary cars, or else do
not move them promptly when they
are loaded. Even the engines come in
for their share, the statement being
made by experts that not more than
40 per cent of their capacity is used
during the winter season because OF
wet rails
The railroad companies blame the
coalmen, claiming that they allowed
many weeks of fine weather to elapse
while the prices were being adjusted
and then swamped the roads with Or
ders beyond their power to fill, says
the Chicago Tribune. They say that
coal cars are not loaded promptly at
the mines. They assert that cars OF
one company passing to the tracks OF
another are not returned as soon as
they are unloaded, but are kept for the
traffic of the latter road, despite ev-
cry effort to reclaim them.
AS for new cars, the manufacturing
companies do not fill the orders until
months after the time of proper deliv-
cry. They are to blame. The engines
might be loaded more nearly to their
hauling capacity if there were avail
able cars. The manufacturers take up
the tale of lament They are over
worked They cannot get labor enough.
Worse than that, the supplies are be-
coming increasingly difficult to secure.
! The lumber, particularly, cannot be
purchased in sufficient quantity and
of the proper quality.
So the chain of excuses might be
| heightened indefinitely. 1t is clear
| that the other fellow is to blame and
not the one attacked. The probable
| tiles are strong that there is basis OF
truth in each lamentation, and the as,
sumption is not a violent one that
blame might be located in good
many places. Any investigation that
is made of present conditions must
necessarily be wide in its scope. After
it is made the chances are that little
relief will be afforded An investiga
ton which concerns so many inter
ests. each of them pushed to full ca
pacity by the economic conditions con
sequent upon the rapid development OF
large areas of territory, may be OF
little practical value. What can be &C
complished possibly is the relief OF
specially pressing emergencies. But
no temporary activity will permanent
ly settle the troubles.

PRESIDENT PROTECTS GAME
WHO RosS NESTS TO
MAKE MONEY.

The fight against the destruction of
game birds and their eggs in Alaska
has at last reached the ears of official
dom in Washington, D. c., and the
matter has been taken up by T. S.
Palmer. in charge of the game pre-
servation in the bureau of biological
survey with the department of agri-
culture, says the Spokane Chronicle.
The matter was brought to Mr..
Palmer's attention through an article
written by Al Wiesemann of Spokane
and published in the Spokesman-Re-
view of Dec. Is. Mr.. Wiesemann
wrote a strong article similar to that
published in the Chronicle several
months ago, when the subject was
first taken up. Mr. Wiesemann in his
article states as follows:

REELECTION OF ROOSEVELT.

The Roosevelt Third Term National
league has been organized in Chicago,
has issued its platform and purposes
to extend its propaganda over the en-
tire country. The organizers say thew
are not politicians and don't want the
politicians with them. They want the
popular demand for the reelection of
Roosevelt to the presidency to find ex-
preston without the intermediary
help of the politicians or the political
machinery. In the platform are re-
capitulated the more or less familiar
grounds for demanding the presidents
ridden and that he be drafted by the
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-01-02

people for another term to carry into
effect the many policies and projects
he has set under way.
The platform admits that the third
term" phrase in it's name is mlsno-
mer. as Roosevelt has been elected by
the people to the presidency but once.
Still. it adopts the name that is popu-
larly given to the movement. ms
looks like a mistake. If Roosevelt is
to receive the peoples mandate TO
serve another term, it will be In the
belief that he has in reality served but
one term as master of his own poilcy,
and that in serving out Mckinley
second term he strove to do what NC
Kinley would have done. The popular
antipathy to third terms is SO deeply
ingrained that reelection would be I'M
possible for even so great popular
hero as Roosevelt on any other n.y.
pothesis.
The argument that no citizen may
refuse the presidency and that he
whom the people call to that high post
most respond, is, of course, sOund
one. RooseveIts declaration made just
after his election in 1904 that under
no circumstances would he be can
didate for, or would he accept another
nomination" could not stand in the
face of an overwhelming popular de-
mand. The difficulty is to permit this
popular demand to find expression IN
some clear and unmistakable way
Perhaps such organizations as this
new one in Chicago will bring this
about.
