JONES ANKENY
!: /: SCRAP ON

The forces of Congressman Jones
and Senator Ankeny are beginning
preliminary work of the campaign
which will land one or the other
in the United States senate. Around
town the friends of the respective
candidates are putting in word
in their favor wherever possible.
Ankeny's friends, while admitting
that he Is not an orator, say he
has been a success as a member
of committees and in securing IA
vorable action on a number of
measures Of benefit to this state.
They further say that he is incor-
ruptable, having enormous wealth
of his own and can therefore be
depended on to act for the best in
terests Of the state at all times.
They make no mention of the
fact that he was elected to the SEN
ate by the united efforts Of the
railways and corporations of the
state, but in this respect he was no
worse than other representatives
from this state in congress, all hav-
ing to qualify with the so-called
vested interests" of the state.
Congressman Jones' friends ad-
NIT that their candidate is a COM
paratively poor man. They say he
does not possess the funds neces-
sary to make the campaign that
Ankeny can, but must depend large
ly on the loyal support of his
friends and on his record in the
lower house for success at the
primaries. They tell of his early
days of poverty and his struggle to
better his condition and make
something of himself. They relate
anecdotes of his working as a la
borer on a ranch and saving enough
money to go to school. and point
to his achievements In congress.
They do not dwell on the fact
that Mr.. Jones, like Senator An
keny, was acceptable to the rail-
roads and corporations, and they
make no mention of the fact that
he turned down the American Fed
Grafton of Labor They say that he
is absolutely honest and the fact
that he stated in his speeches last
fall that he had no apologies to
make to labor for voting against
measures advocated by the work
ingmen of the country, they con-
tend, shows him to be fearless in
all that he does.

work they pay her half a crown

makes $1.20, which helps out my

weeks, we make $500.

Practically we only have one
meal day, because breakfast and
the midday meal can only be CALL
ed sort of "snacks." For dinner we
usually have a stew; that Is, meat,
potatoes and a bit of seasoning. A
decent piece of meat costs about 16
cents pound. A 2-pound bit of
meat will make enough stew for
2 meals. Then, we have as rule
little bread pudding, or some jam
and bread after dinner. There's al
ways tea. We buy tea-dust costing
"a cents pound.
We keep up a little insurance
which costs IL cents a week. If any

GIRL CHECKERS
JOIN STRIKE

SEATTLE, Aug. 29-The striking
telegraphers scored a point when
principal check clerks from the
Western Union operating rooms
quit the service and enrolled their
names along with the key men at
strike headquarters. They were
Misses Wellington. Wilson and
Moves.
The conditions under which
these women were forced to work
since the strike was called had be-
come so obnoxious to them that
they preferred to take their
chances on the outside.
They were received by the teleg-
raphers with a rousing cheer and
placed upon the roll of honor as
full fledged members of the union.
The strikers committee report
but operators on duty yesterday
at the Western Union, outside of
the officials. and but outside of
officials at the Postal.
Reports were read from all the
business centers in the United
States, showing that the men were
standing pat one and all for the
common good.

gg!A!R! SERVICE
THAT CRAzES
sPAsMopic SCHEDULE ON
HillYARD LINE APPARENT
" DESIGNED ESPECIALLY
TO TORTURE TIRED MEN
AND WOMEN.

The service which the w. w. P.
gives on its Hillyard line is about
as poor as may be imagined. A
car occurs at the corner of Howard
st. and Riverside av. every once in
awhile and stands until crammed
and jummed full of people. There
are women who have not been able
to find seat for many nights in
succession. About 6 O'Clock, when
there is the heaviest travel, tired
women and men wait, packed like
sardines, until it is the pleasure of
the company to start them home
to their suppers.
Naturally, many try to get to the
cars first, so as to obtain seats. 1t
is like crush at theater en-
trance when a car reaches the cor
ner. While there is talk of fore
ing the company to pay money for
a franchise privilege, it would also
be wise to stipulate in said fran
chises a certain service-15, 10 or
minute. as the needs of the citi-
zens demand.
The poor services is retarding
that part Of the city on the Hill
yard line. No one wants to pur-
chase property and build a home
under such conditions. A tired resi-
dent, after laboring all day, gets
through at 6 and rushes to the
car in mad endeavor to secure a
seat. Whether he is successful or
not, he waits until the car is full.
Meanwhile, wife and dinner wait
Dinner gets cold, and wife hot.
Trouble all round.
In this as in city hall affairs,
the w. w. p. Co. practically does
as 1t pleases. The city has borne
with it long enough. The corner OF
Riverside av. and Howard st. has
been torn up for months and it
takes the entire time of l police
man at the corner to watch out that
people do not get run down and
killed either by cars or vehicles
or automobiles.
There is a network of tracks here
such as is not allowed in any other
city in the United States.
But nothing better than the worst
of 1t can be expected as long as
the public will submit to the ar
rogance of a corporation made up
of capitalists who are as deeply in
terested in real estate speculation
as public service-probably more
SO. The section they want to sell
they boom by good service. The
section they don't want the other
fellow to sell they damn by poor
service.
This is the w. w. P. conception
of developing the city. Its true title
is exploiting the public.

plores the fact that his own daugh-

her life to business.
