PARDON SHOULD HAVE BEEN Con-

justification, the other day, in COM
muting the sentence of Mrs. Adeline
Rose, Of laurel Ky. for Illicit dis
tilling. 1t seems that she was u girl
of the mountains, daughter of a
mOonshiner, and her husband fol-
lowed the same unlawful business,
and was killed in brawl With
eight children dependent upon her
for support, she could find no other
employment, and rather than see
them Starve, she resumed the bust
ness of making illicit whiskey. Rev
enue officers raided her premises and
carried her off prisoner. She was
sentenced to six months imprison-
ment; the President reduced it one
third, the portion of the term re-
naming unserved. This was an in
stance where it was not wise to do
things by halves, or rather thirds.
All fair-minded people would have
applauded the injunction of the

CHOICE Cuts WILL HANG ON HIGII
PEGS. Prof. Linklatcr, whose de-
partmcnt of study is Animal Hus-
bandry" in the Washington State
College, sees that there will be a
considerable rise in the price of beef
in the near future. He bases his
prediction upon the memorable law
of supply and demand; that when the
demand is good and the supply limit
ed, prices are bound to raise higher
than when normal conditions pre-
vail. He admits that the quality of
the beef found in the average market,
during the late winter and spring, is
of inferior quality. This is owing to
use of cattle not fit for the block and
is the precursor OF that scarcity
which will ultimately place no better
cuts SO high that they will be diff
cult to reach. The observations of
the Professor have covered several
years, and it is fair to assume that
he is a reliable authority upon the
subject he presents. He urges farm
ers to 90 into becf-raising more ex-
tenSively, which while it may not
affect an increase near at hand, will
afford Il position for resumption of
normal conditions at 4 comparatively
early date. This will likewise afford
a benefit to consumers and Il sure
profit for themselves.

Somewhat Misleading.

The .N,,soR G"nnty .Ioarnm in COM
menting upon the Shelton fire declares
that the Webb Hotel was one of the
best constructed hotels of its size in
the State. and mentions the fact
that it was finished with water
stand-pipe with tire-hose on each
floor, and had Il modern heating sys-
tenn. 1t mentions several other re-
sultant safeguards, such as sloping
lean-tO roofs and outside landings on
the arcade, and then gives express
sion to this remarkable sentence:
1t would seem that most of those
who lost their lives had ample time
to leave the building, but unfortun-
ately they did not" AS those
who lost their lives" are unable to
answer for themselves, we feel that
it is their due some defense should
be made from this expression. They
were probably intelligent people and
endowed with the usual instinct of
sclf-preservation. If they had am
pie time to escape, as the .J"nrnoI
assumes, why was it that they did
not put forth the effort necessary to
leave the building? Why was it that
the people Jumped from high win
dows, if sloping roofs of the kitchen
and heating plant formed such an
easy escape on the inner side of
the building?

sumption to assume that active,
sensible people would voluntarily
die by the horrible torture of flames,
when they had ample time" to
leave the building.

Glimpse at the Financial Outlook

The depression in copper stock is
given as the reason for the suspen-
sion of operation of the Spokane
Stock Brokers Association. for an
indefinite period. The fall IN CONNER
is largely due to the disturbed condi-
ton of the e-rate and CONSEQUENT
suspension of much of the demand
for copper used in arts and manuflc-
lures. This led, in combination with
other conditions to disturbance of
other stocks, and the usual result of
boarding a medium of exchange
which is only of benefit to the public
in proportion to its circulation as an
admster of values. Some of the best
mining holdings at Spokane had suf-
frrrd Il fall that practically eliminat-
CT them from the market.
The extraordinary efforts made bv
the banks for increase of deposits
has shown unmistakbly the exist
rnce Of a spirit of unrest. Some have
offered Il high rate of interest on all
deposits. subject only to savings
bank rules, and the latest device to
obtain the childrcn'S dimes is the
little child $ savings banks. given to
ali prospective customers men. wO-
men and childrcn-with Il fifty-cent
check as the first deposit, or nest
egg, to be counted when the reccp-
tacle is opened and the amount depos-
tied entered upon an account at the
bank that inaugurated the scheme.
This Is only noted rs showing the
extraordinary efforts that are being
made to institute a new means for
drawing surplus dimes from unwil-
ing pockets.
1t will also be observed that Post
master General Meyer has suggested
the institution of postal saving banks
or stations, in which nominal rate
of interest will be afforded with alb
Solutc security to the deposition.
This, it is thought. will release
large amount of the hoardings of
those who, from one cause or anOth-
or, have not patronizcd the banks.
While this may not tend absolutely
to keep the money in active circula-
ton. it promotes thrift in accumua-
ton and keeps it in a position where
it may be available whenever the
rainy day" comes fur either the
individual or the community. where
in little money may prove either a
raincOat or umbrella to ward off the
storm.
The writer is by no means an
but would counsel economy
and a careful study of exact cOndi-
tiOns, upon which to base the pru-
dence and necessity of every expen-
diture. This is no time for reckless
waste, or indeed boarding of income,
when so many safe opportunities
are afforded for investment with the
funds practically available on call.
