BY Bishop Greer, of New York, which,
in substance, asks ali ehurchmen to sup
port them in a great proposed nght
against child labor in the United States.
The message will be presented to the
House of Deputies today.
The Bishop of Vermont. chairman Oh
the house committee on suffrage bishops,
presented his report, which was discus
sed at length, finally being laid on tie
table for further discussion at later
day of the convention. Concerning the
canonical status of the question, the
committee report that, while there is al
present no provision for the prohibition
Of such bishops, no provision was made
for them, and in the judgment OF the
committee it is absolutely necessary that
such provision be made, and there
should be distinct recognition OF them In
the constitution.
i. Pierpont Morgan of New York,
introduced a resolutionfin the House OF
D puties that a copy of the standard
player book be presented to the Bishop
Of London, the library Of the Common
wealth of Virginia and to several north
err institutions. Toe resolution was
adopted.
After a long debate, the house, as
stated yesterday, accepted the preamble
to he constitution az submitted by its
author, Rev. DR.. Huntington. The res
o.uiion TO adopt the preamble was over
whelmingly accepted.
the arguments on the adoption OF the
preamble were spirited and pointed, sew
ersl times touching upon the adoption Of
The "gord Of God," which was sutsii'
tuied in it, and frequently causing 9
reference to the celebrated case in which
Algernon Crapsey, rector of church IL
Rochester, N Y, was removed as 8
hereto. Deputy Mcconnell, OF Louisi'
ana, spoke most earnestly against tins
actions of the deposed clergyman, sno
said that it was he who gentured tc
make illusions to the Holy Scriptures al
not being the word OF God.
Mr.. Mcconnell exclaimed bitterly: "lu
celebrated case, recently conducted, in
which a clergyman of this church was
removed, it proved that passages in the
New Testament had been referred to a.
mere romances." Dr.. Huntington ex
planned before the vote was taken that,
in view Of the apparent opposition to hi
resolution, he would ask if the vote o.
the house were close that il be laid on
the table. The resolution and preamble
wee adopted by vote of 1OS to 49,
Z pht Of the diOceses were divided.
The preamble, as amended and offer

gatherings where women do not FREEDOM

newspapers are essential in all civilized

IT NEEDS the MONEY

The sudden awakening of the
Spokesman-Review to the fact that
disreputable women are again in
swift pursuit of the easy mark in
the Occur d'Alene and the Comique
resorts has all the meritorious fea-
lures of that publications usual re-
form spasms. Tomorrow, doubt
less, the same paper will call at
tention 10 a similar state of affairs
in the o. K. place.
The astonishing part Of the
whole business is the Review S
ability to make a discovery that
has been common knowledge about
town for long time. The Press
has called attention to it several
times and from an entirely differ
ent motive than that actuating the
Review. The latter paper arrives
at a virtuous stand through a
crouch at the police department,
among other things. Because the
best news of the day is not re-
served for it Chief Rice is raked.
There is another reason most ia
miliar to Dutch Jake He is al
ready figuring on the advertising
rate he instinctively knows from
past experience will presently be
demanded of him by an enterpris-
ing representative of the morning
paper. 1t is an automatic process
that is operated on him now and
then when other business is slack,
The other joints mentioned are
merely used as additional leverage
on Chief Rice.
That the latter is for some rea-
son delinquent to the spirit of the
original police regulations is ap-
parent-as plain in fact as the mer-
cenary and personal motives Of the
morning paper.
The Press will still contend that
the tenderloin be compelled to as
near approach 20 Gecency as pos
sible, but it condemns the use of
that desired end to further a purely
personal motive. The Reviews
historic sincerity in that respect
can best be expressed by the char
acter 5.

A Chance to Have
Corsets Fitted Correctly

1t is very seldom that a cor

so that every lady should make 1t

inspect her magnificent line of the
famous Crosby front laced corsets
The satisfaction of wearing a per
feet fitting corset that allows deer
breathing, gives correct poise tC
the body, and acts as a support to
the abdomen will more than repay
you for the time taken.
A visit will cost absolutely moth
ing, for you are under no obliga
tons to buy. Nine. McRae makes
a speciality Of fitting stout and thin
ladies, and an early appointment Is
advisable. as her visit in Spokane
is limited to a few days longer. MN

SPARROWS ARE
STILL HERE

What has become of the admins
tration's campaign against the vii
famous English sparrow. Occu-
pants of the Traders Bank and
Rookery buildings want it revived
to the extent at least of annihilat-
ing a dozen Or SO of the pests that
have taken up winter residence
there and seem to like the place.
By conservative estimate it is fig
ured that by next summer the col
ony will have grown to six dozen
by natural increase, to say nothing
of additional immigration, unless a
killing is inaugurated.
Several appeals have been made
to the city hall, but without re-
suits, the powers seemingly being
too intent upon the determination
of the measly rat to trifle with
sparrows But the latter is re-
garded as an exceedingly live issue
and one that ought to be settled.
BY a slight extension of the doom
Of the rat the sparrow would also
pass away Otherwise there is
bound to be much twittering mis-
chief next spring and summer.
Abase the sparrow also.

a man known as John Edwards was
boarding with him and last Satur-
day gave a check for $3.50 in pay
ment and received few dollars in
change. Kapulich gave the check
to the Cold Storage market in pay
ment for bill of goods. When the
check was turned in to the Traders
bank it was found to be worthless.
Each of the Willis checks is writ
ten in the same handwriting and in

has been noticed that the short

Chief Rice was ambling through
the Main the other night in citi-

situation. There has been such an
outbreak of disapproval of the
chiefs manner in regulating this
block that he thought it encumbent
upon him to get busy. None OF
the women recognized him in citi-
zen's clothes and of course treated
him the same as they would any
one else.

whose paramOur is allowed to re-
