HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
PLAY POKER WITH MONEY
Card Parties Of Mothers and Wheat
Trading of Fathers Are
Causes.

TACOMA, May IA number Of
students were called on to testify to-
day regarding reports of gambling at
the high school. President Drury of
the board of education said today:
Several weeks ago we conducted
an investigation and found that some
of the boys were playing poker, and
we endeavored to stop it, and the SUI
perintendent has been given orders
to get rid of every boy when he has
bscome a menace to the morals of the
rest Of the students.
Their parents, in many cases. are
to blame. There is bucket shop up
in the Equitable building where men
gamble on wheat; the mothers go ont
in the afternoon and gamble for
prizes at a card party, and what can
you expect of the BOYS? They have
inherited the gambling spirit, and in
stead of spending their pennies for
lunch at school they have been using
them to gamble and play penny
ante"

Major Edwards Leaves Umatilla.

WASHINGTON, May 1f.-Maior
0. c. Edwards, superintendent of the
Umatilla Indian reservation, has re-
signed, and his resignation has been
accepted by the interior department.
The Office refuses to announce who
his successor will be, although it is
understood that the appointment has
been made.
Major Edwards will be sent to a
different station and will not lose by
the change. His career at the Una
tilla reservation has been a stormy
one. Acting under the instructions
from the department he made radical
changes in the land leasing system in
vogue on the reservation and gained
the enmity of the reservation farmers
who before had it all their own way
in their trafficing with the Indians.

CHICAGO LEADERS ARE
AS A UNIT FOR TAFT

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE entire
west is against Hughes candidacy
for the presidency That is the die
tum from Republican leaders. If the
third term idea eliminates Roosevelt
they favor Taft's candidacy.
Chicago leaders, most of whom are
indebted to the administration for
favors in patronage, are a unit for
Taft. They admit that labor may be
expected to show an unfriendly spirit
at first, but thing that considerations
of party loyalty will outweigh preju-
dice with Republican laborers, and
with customary forgetfulness and
forgiveness for the men against
whom their ire was raised, they will
vote for the Ohioan.

RAILROADS REDUCE
RATES TO JAMESTOWN
Fare is to Be One First Class Ticket
Plus SfG to Western Terminals
of Eastern Roads.

Advices have been received by the
various passenger departments of the
western railroads in Seattle relative
to special rates to the jamestown ey-
position. The reduced rates are of
fered to points where connections
can be made with the eastern roads,
all of which have reduced rates.
The fare is TO be one frst-class ticket
plus $40 for the round trip. From
Chicago and the Missouri river TO the
east the reduction is in proportion.
1t is understood that the delay in ar
irving at the rate resulted from a dis
pute as to whether through tickets
to the Atlantic seaboard should be
sold out of this territory or only to
Chicago and the Missouri river. After
lengthy negotiations it was decided
to sell only to the western terminals
OF eastern roads.

Only He Proved to Be . New York

1t Is not an uncommon thing for a
youth from the east who has fed him
self on dime novels to travel out west
and pretend to be a real western bad
man. Such a person does not go far
in the west without being discovered
and properly tagged. 1t is not quite
suc. an ordinary occurrence for an
easterner, remaining in the east, to
pretend to be wild westerner, but
this happened the other day in New

Just then a policeman hove in view
and remarked quietly to Bad Bill that
that was fine knife he had. The
Texas terror proudly handed over the

liceman marched the disarmel terror
to the station house.
Next morning in the police court the
terror was not so terrible He had had

He explained To the court that he was

WARN STUDENTS
AGAINST TOBACCO
Warn Studants Against Tobacco
s. G. Cosgrove Tells Them Not e
Wed Girls Who Like
Smokers.

{ PULLMAN, May 11.-Samuel G..
Cosgrove, member of the board of
regents of the University of Washing
ton, Seattle, yesterday addressed the
students of the state college and high
school students who are attending
the interscholastic contests. In
speaking to the young athletes he
said:
Don't smoke, chew tobacco, or
use any form of intoxicant, if you
| would make of yourself the best man
that nature intended. When you are
in training you are obliged to avoid
all such stimulantS. If their disuse
| is beneficial to you for few months,
why is it not so for lifetime? If
| YOU concede to the truth of this mat
| ter, then the only temptation that
will press you irresistibly will be to
have some young lady confide in you
in tender confidence that she loves
the scent of good cigar Don't mar
ry her If she tells 5ou that. If you
do, within year she will come to
you with her hands unwashed. her
face dirty and her hair uncombed.
She will scold you for twenty-four
hours of the day"
In closing Mr. Cosgrove said "As
a member of the university board of
regents, | am proud that Washington
can support two such institutic-3 as
! the university and the state college.
| believe that the other members of
our board share this feeling with me,
and | am convinced that the COM
| bined and harmonious efforts of these
| two institutions will do much toward
| making Washington one of the great
est states in the union
Principal Wilson, of the Ellens-
| burg Normal School, said: Il be-
lieve that We have just passed
through period of importance in
the growth of educational institu-
tions in the Northwest. l believe
that the geographical and commerce
al advantages of this region, Wash
ington in particular, are such that
the Pacific Northwest has promises
of becoming, from an educational
standpoint, the most richly endowed
section of the United States"
Principal William F. Geiger, OF the
Seattle high school, spoke in con-
gratulatory spirit. He said:
Il desire to congratulate teh state
college for its success in having call
ed together SO large and enthusiastic
| a body of high school students. Stu
dents coming together in this way
will appreciate better the solidarity
of purpose which should exist be-
tween the educational interests of the
state. The state college is to be con-
graduated for having an ideal loca-
ton for conditions of study, and,
speaking for the high schools. | may
say that / am glad of the opportunity
offered us to observe personally the
work Of the college"

To small extent changes are always
making in numbers and at times in

but these figures are substantially cor

containing from two to six scattered

about $50 all told, and thus we get

~EH % same problem is presenting itself for solution in Europe
as in America.
I'll is the question which has been developed under wha,
may call Christian civilization. 1T IS THE PARA
MOUNT ISSUE. You may call it socialism if you please
1t is how to distribute in proper proportions the result Of labor and the
CONTROL. IT'S OWN SUGGEST In America we call it the trust
question.
In France, at the present moment, it manifests itself as the right
of government employees to combine, and we see a sociaistc premier
fighting the extension to government servants of the doctrines he has
always preached. In England the problem is rather simpler, as the
English have always managed to keep their government practically
free from COMMERCIAL INFLUENCES, but there, too, we have
an independent labor party, led by Mr.. Kerr Hardie, which is frankly
socialiaic.
The situation in England reminds me very much of the Populst
situation in America a few years ago. Many people thought that the
PopuGsts would never exert any influence east of the Mississippi, but
they were mistaken. should not be surprised to see the labor or
sociaGstc element capture the Liberal party in England. In this event
there will probably be a RE~ALIGNMENT of political parties and
the discovery of new leaders.
| 90 not think there is any great increase in the strength of the
AVOWED socialishc party in Europe. The serious matter is that
more is being done to promote socialism BY THOSE WHO DE-
NOUNCE SOCIALISM than by all the avowed Socialists.
A spirit Of socialism is fostered by the indiscriminate cry for the
regulation of corporations. | believe that the state has the right to
regulate, if necessary, the corporations which control public utilities,
and on this ground Roosevets rate bill lis perfectly sound in principle,
but to extend this doctrine TO ALL CORPORATIONS NDIS.
~CR1MINATELY is not only unwise, but dangerous.
Another very serious question in America at the present time is
the loss Of public confidence in the JUDICIARY. Look at the Per
kins case Was there ever such a travesty Of justice? Instead Of being
tried on the facts of the case he was invited to write a letter setting
forth HIS view of the facts, and then by a majority of one a decision
is rendered that the facts submitted do not disclose any criminal intent.
SUCH DECISIONS HAVE CAUSED THE PUBLIC TO LOSE CON.
THAT PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF THE BENCH
SHOULD BE RESTORED.

Medical Expert Evidence

matter of dollars and cents is because the expert represents

This is the fault Of the PRESENT SYSTEM and is not the
fault Of the medical expert. 1t IAN only be remedied by legislation.
The Maine bill is the best and most feasible plan of meeting the pres.

chief justice of the supreme court Of Maine.

posed had been adopted by the legislature of the state of New York

two leading experts OF the defense, DR.. Charles T. Wagner and DR..
Britton d. Evans, had been appointed by the court, with DR.. Austin

government, and there is in consequence a clamor that the

The judges Of the federal courts as well as of the courts of two or

Yet the very persons who have this feeling in respect to judicial
