THE TARIFF NEXT.

Governor John A. Johnson of Min
nesota is finding favor with great
many Democrats as presidential
candidate. Sumner, correspondent
of the Chicago Record-Herald con-
siders him strong man who will
have to be reckoned with, and in the
course of a recent article says:
LAS vet Governor Johnson has not
been a familiar figure at national con-
ventious or in Congress or in any OF
the circles in which men come into
frequent contact with political leaders
the country over, and so become fam
liar to the rank and file. He IS
likely, however, to attract more atten-
ton than he has in the national field,
even if he never becomes a candidate
on a presidential ticket, for he has
forcible views on political questions
and he delivers them in vigorous
manner. He has very positive views
regarding what the Democrats ought
to do in the next national convention.
"RevisiOn of the tariff ought 10 be
made the issue next" said the gov
ernor to-day. sit ought to be an
honest issue pushed by both the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties; but
| believe it should be made the par
amount plank in the Democratic plat
form. 1t is popular issue and ought
to be winning issue. Everybody in
the Northwest is for tariff revision,
and has been for several years. The
Republican leaders of this section are
for revision, but they want revision
at the hands of their own party. The
Democrats want revision that will
revise, and it has become apparent
that nothing can be secured under the
present political conditions"
Governor Johnson is right. A wise
reduction of tariff duties need not be
expected from men who say the pro-
tective creed or make apologies to the
Home Market club. 1t is to be hoped
that we will hear more from him and
from others of his way of thinking.
They can help to make the Democratic
party strong, and win Democratic
victOrias

Have One Good Hobby,

Milwaukee Journal: Ambassador
Bryce, when he was delivering the
commencement address before the
students of Chicago university, ex-
pressed the opinion that everybody
ought to have good hobby.
He did not say it in these words.
What he said was: Every one of US
ought to have a second or inner life.
over and above that life which he leads
among others for the purpose of his
vocation, be it to gain money, or
power, or fame, or be it to serve his
country or his neighbor. He ought to
have some pursuit or tastes to which
he can turn from the daily routine.
Whatever the taste or pursuit may be,
whether of higher or commoner type,
it is good for him: but, Of course, the
more wholesome and elevating the
taste or pursuit so much the better for
him.
SO what he means is, have a hobby
We know physician whose hobby
is flowers. His yard is not much big
ger than you could put in your hat,
but he uses every inch of it. He takes
his trowel and his spade and his flow
er seeds and his rose-bushes, and
every morning early, you can find
him among his little beds. II am
certain, " he said, that it makes me a
better doctor and better man."
We know young clerk whose hobby
is good books. When the other fell
lows are down town in the evenings,
he is at home filling his mind with
wonderful thoughts and emptying the
splendid literature of the world into
his head.
We know a business man whose
hobby is giving happiness to poor
children. He has way of picking up
forlorn street-boys and tiny girls who
scarcely ever heard of happiness. A
hundred children love him.
Hobbies are only habits.
Foolish hobbies are foolish habits.
Wasteful hobbies are wasteful habits.
Bad hobbies are bad habits.
But the good hobby is nothing but
good habit.
Mr.. Bryce is a pretty keen-sighted
man. He knows that there is nothing
that takes the~life out of US like
routine, always doing the same thing,
without any let-up or contrast.
We need a good hobby or two, like
flowers, or good books, or making
children happy, and the moro whole
some and healthy the hobby the more
real good we will get out of it.

TAKE WOUNDED
man TO JAIL

Harry Hill, Northern Pacific
switchman who was snot while at
tempting, 1t is charged, to burglar
ize a boxcar, was taken from Sa-
cred Heart hospital this morning
to the county Jail. Hills wound
led to his discovery. Patrolman
Willis detected 3 men in the act OF
loading a livery rig with sacks OF
sugar and fred upon them. He
thought none of his bullets had
taken effect. Detectives got to
work and after visiting all the hos
pitfalls, found Hill was at Sacred
Heart suffering from a bullet
wound in his leg. They laid in wait
and saw that the onIy man who
visited him was Guy Thompson,
who works as bartender when he
does work. They Swallowed him and
yesterday he was arrested and told
enough to implicate both himself
and Hill in the robbery. Later his
room at 81 Pacific av. was visited
by detectives, who found bloody
handkerchiefs and a PAIR OF
trousers with a bullet hole in them.
Yesterday 8 men who were sell
ing new shoes were arrested. 1t
has developed that they received
them from Thompson, who is be-
lieved TO be leader of a gang of
boxcar robbers. The first sus-
picion was directed to Hill some
weeks ago when he was caught
with a large box of tea. He said
it was left on the platform and he
was taking it across the street so
it would be safe until morning,
when it would be delivered to Ben
ham & Griffith, to whom 1t was con.
signed.

CROOKED RACES
At SEATTLE

Here Is the sort OF racing the
sucker is trying to beat when he
bets his money in the rejuvenated
poolroom opened at Minnehaha
park, place dedicated by the
county authorities to all sorts of
Illegally. Over at the Meadows
track at Seattle jockeys, Gross
and Manders, considered to be the
best riders there, have been sus-
pended.
1t is claimed that jockey COM
bination has existed and that races
have been thrown regularly that
the riders might clean up on one
another's mounts.
In the first race Gross pulled
Susannah, who finished second, up
under the grandstand, and Manders
rode wretched ride on Runsum,
the favorite, who finished out of
the money. The judges state that
they intended to suspend the boys
at the end Of the days racing, but
that their performances in this race
caused immediate action.
The judges say that they have in
formation that Gross pulled Jack
Adams the day she was beaten by
Foncasta, and that Manders pulled
Midmont later They say that they
have proof that certain race track
hangers-on have been cleaning up
big sums on tips from the Jockeys
quarters, and that jockeys have
regularly been betting on one an
others mounts because of pre-
arranged races.
There's nothing unusual about
this except the fake becoming so
apparent 1t couldn't be missed. It's
part of the game, and when an
exposure comes, of course the
jockeys have to stand for the
blame.
The same horses and same gang
will be doing business at the In
terstate fair in this city.

HOW UNCLE SAM KEEPS WATCH
FOR DISEASED MEATS IN SPOKANE

There is great deal of mlsappre-
hension in regard to the scope of
the federal meat inspection estab-
lished by the government in all
cities of sufficient consequence as
shipping points. The Spokane in
spection is in charge of c. w.
Deming, who has 4 men working
under him.
1t is generally supposed that the
federal inspection covers local re-
tail trade, but this is not the case
except where the meat is shipped
in from another state. The func-
tions Of the federal officials are In
terstate entirely. They deal with
meat coming into this state or to
be shipped out of 1t.
AS far as they are able, the gov
eminent inspectors are expected to
assist local inspectors, but they
have no jurisdiction over meat
slaughtered and sold here.
The act of congress popularity
known as the meat inspection
amendment provides that all meats
or meat food products which enter
interstate or foreign commerce, in
whole or In part, shall be Inspected
under the regulations of the depart
ment OF agriculture. All slaughter
ing, packing, canning or similar es-
fablishments engaged in trade of
this character shall be inspected
unless exempted.
Only farmers and retail dealers
supplying their customers are
eligible to exemption, but they are
subject to the provisions of the
law, which places penalty on any
person who shall sell or offer for
sale or transportation, for inter
state commerce. any meat or meat
food products which are diseased
or linsound, knowing the same are
Intended for human consumption.

C|GARETS IN
SOME PLACES

Cigaret fiends are beginning to
take new hope. The Byerly act
prohibiting the sale and manufac-
ture of cigarets, which goes into
effect on Sept. 1, may be partly
nullifled through the operation of
our dual system of government.
No state law can be effective in
federal reservations. Under that
definition comes any place which
is under the exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States government

military and naval stations.

the same must be placed in a san
itary condition. 1t is required that
all floors, benches, racks, contain
ers, machinery and tools be kept
clean. Clothing must be cleaned
daily when used. Splitting on floors
is prohibited Meats must not be
dropped on the floor. Knives used
in dressing diseased carcasses may
not be used again until disinfect-
ed. Rooms in which meats are pre-
pared must be apart from rooms
used for tanking, or other purposes
that create odors. Sidewalks and
ceilings must be painted and kept
clean. Light and ventilation must
be provided, also dressing rooms
and lavatory facilities for en-
ployes.
Inspection includes the ante
mortem and post-mortem examina-
ton of animals, re-inspection of
meat food products, supervision of
trade labels and enforcement of
sanitary conditions.
In Spokane, the jurisdiction of
the federal inspectors is limited to
the 2 official establishments, No
$50 and No. 680A, and exempted
markets, which are frequently Wis
tied. The belief that the markets
Of the city are under government
supervision is erroneous, these be-
ing inspected by the city through
the city meat inspector.
The regulations Of tho danart.
ment require that an agreement be-
tween the local and federal officers
be made to the end of preventing
the sale of diseased meat within
the city, said agreement to be APP
proved by the chief of bureau of
animal industry at Washington.
Such an agreement exists in Spo-
kane and Is working very smoothly.
Ii is believed that such cooperation
will be followed with excellent re-
suits and insure for this city a re-
liable system OF inspection.
