Direct PRIMARY DOOMED

Senator Ankeny is believed to be
exerting every influence he controls
to defeat the direct primary law. He
is reported as being actively sec
onded by those politicians in Olym-
pia who owe their present political
ascendancy to the existing system
of primaries.
In spite Of the fact that there is
practically unanimous sentiment
throughout the state in favor of a
direct primary law, no such law or
at least none that will radically
change the present system will be
passed by the coming session of
the legislature. The advocates of
the direct primary labor under the
disadvantage of not being practical
politicians with the result that in
stead of concentrating their efforts
to bringing about the nomination of
men who would be honestly with
them they contented themselves
with holding state convention,
adopting resolutions, taking the
rather indefinite promises of party
conventions. and allowing the same
old gang to control the caucuses
and primaries and nominate either
member of the old crowd or an
automation who will do it's bidding.
Christopher G. Horr, president Of
the Washington Direct Primary
League admits that the league did
not have the promise of . majority
of the members of either house to
support the law proposed by the
league or any direct primary law.
Mr.. Horn also admitted that he was
aware OF movement among the
"Ankney people" in the eastern part
of the state to defeat, If possible,
any primary law which may come
before the legislature, and under no
circumstances to allow any law to
pass which includes anything except
local officers.

MURDER TRIAL
BEGINS TODAY

j. r. Tormey, farmer living on
the Little Spokane river below Nine
Mile bridge, was the first witness
called this morning in the Philpott
case. The prosecution brought out
the fact that Charles Philpott spent
Monday night before the murder OF
Mes Cole at Tormey's house. Phil
pott next morning said he was 60
ing to Spokane to see his wife
about buying the Cannon ranch.
Tuesday night Philpott return to
Tormey's and said he had been to
Spokane and his wife wanted the
Cannon place. Tormey asked him
why he had returned to his (Tor-
mey's) when he could have taken
the other side of the river and
reached the Cannon place with less
walking than to come to his place.
Philpott said he had lost a knife,
present from his son, Otto, and
wanted to find 1t first. They search
ed for the knife until late and then
Philpott stayed overnight. He had
walked the round trip of % miles
to Spokane. The next day, June 6,
Mes Cole disappeared.
For the furthering Of the sus-
picion that Philpott was respons-
ible for the disappearance Deputy
Prosecutor Fred Pugh, who is TAX
ing the lead in the case, introduced
the evidence Of r. A. Grover, an.
other ranch neighbor of Cole, who
said that Wednesday noon Philpott
had been to his place and said he
wanted to buy SIS worth of hay that
Grover owned on the Cannon place.
He said he would be back that day
with the money and if he didn't
come he would not buy it at all.
That was the last ever seen of
Philpott in that vicinity.
The following jury was secured
at late hour yesterday afternoon:

To FIGHT THE
YELLOW PERIL

The Cooks and Kitchen Helpers
union will continue it's fight against
any invasion of Japanese in this
city. Over $50 per week is being
expended in an effort to prevent the
extension of the yellow peril to
local restaurants. The union now
has a membership of over 250 and
most of these men would have to
leave town or go to work at some
other line of work prvlding the
Japs succeeded in securing foot
hold here. Only two restaurants
are at present employing the
Asiatics in their kitchens. These
are the Europe cafe and the Wom-
ems Exchange. The cooks main
tain that they are able to furnish
plenty of help and that the substi-
tuition of Asiatic help for white
would not cheap the price of board
to the general public, but would cur
tail the amount of money expended
by this class Of labor
Twelve new members were ad-
mitted to the union last night.

There will be no relief for the
shortage of coal production in this
state as far as the immense hold
ings of the Northern Pacific is con-
concerned unless that company
elects to dispose of some of its
coal lands to others.
The provisions of the interstate
commerce act, which became effec-
tive January / of this year, for
bids railroad company from en-
gaging in the mining of coal to be
shipped over its own lines except
ing for its own consumption. The
Northern Pacific has announced that
it is going out of the coal business
as far as the public is concerned,
at the same time declaring that its
present production Of coal is not
more than Is required for its own
use.
Three members Of the interstate
commerce commission, who begin
sittings here on January IA, may
take up the coal situation as sub
ject of investigation.
Not being permitted to sell coal
from its own mines the Northern
Pacific has been unwilling to furn-
ish cars for fuel shipment for pri-
vate mining companies.
This is proved by the railroad

LET PEOPLE
RULE PARKS

Let all the people name the men,
bers of the park board and make
that board as non-partisan as pos
sible.
This Is the prevailing Spokane
sentiment on the city park ques-
ton. The average citizen objects
to the placing of the parks in the
hands of any self constituted, self
perpetuating" board, as City Attor-
ney Geraghty put it yesterday. 1t
is realized that the 10000 club and
the chamber of commerce have &C.
complished much toward the up.
building OF the city, but the pople
are apparently not willing to sur
render control of the public parks
and moneys for all time, as would
be the case under the amendment
proposed.
Corporate interests only are rep
resented in the chamber of COM
merce plan, it is argued, and many
object to a board influenced by
these interests. The general i'm
preston prevails that the above
mentioned interests would be we'll
taken care of providing the pro-
posed amendment is adopted.
The most popular method OF
handling the parks and the entire
municipal government would I'M
doubtedly be by the adoption of the
initiative and referendum. This
method has been adopted in other
cities throughout the country and
has proved successful in every in
stance. Under the initiative and
referendum the pople could express
their sentiments on any measure af-
fecting the parks or any other mat
ter of interest to the city, every
franchise asked for would have to
run the gauntlet of popular vote,
and legitimate business interests
seeking franchises would be pro-
tected from Matchmaking politicians
and newspapers, as an appeal could
always be readily made TO the pub
lie for justice and fair treatment
AS the situation now presents it.
self, city park control is left to a
choice between political control at
the city hall or autocratic control
by a perpetual board of citizens
most interested in property values

company's constant claim that it
had plenty of cars to handle
traffic,
The claim is further substantiated
by the fact that hundreds of empty
cars have been kept idle in the
yards of this city and at other
points along the line.
But the fuel dealers who have
been relieved Of ruinous competi-
ton with railroad mines have found
themselves subjected to worse con-
ditions in being unable to secure
any of these cars of which the rail-
road company claims such an
abundance.
The past and present conditions
affecting railroad traffic in this
territory and in fact clear across
the country bear all the earmarks
of conspiracy to defeat the new in
terstate commerce law.
If the railroads are prevented
from delivering and selling their
own coal nobody else shall deliver
cars over the lines.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Ii
The first voice in the senate in fav-
or of Smoot was raised this after
noon by Perkins, who said:
''The Mormon church is undergo
ing radical change for the better.
SmOot is an apostle of the better
and higher Mormonism. He stands
for sacred things in the church
against polygamy and kindred vices.
Smoot has done more to stamp out
vices than any thousand men out

is part of the Mormon religion. +"
