SPOKESMAN REVIEW MORALITY.

The Spokesman Review processes some concern as to
safeguarding the morals of minors 1t is officially repre-
sented committee of safety called together to urge
the enforcement of every regulation designed to shield the
young and unsopiscated from the lures the law and
public tolerance permit.
In a recent issue the Spokesman Review gave first
page prominence to highly suggestive description of
dummy figure used window to display the motor
ious sheath gown.
Obscurely placed inside page of the same issue
is brief of the undertaken to secure
strict enforcement of the curfew law.
Few readers will need reminding that the store in
question happens to be heavy advertiser
One observing reader has noted the contrast between
the two articles mentioned Mammon's Double the
Snake killer
The Inference that if the advertisers had any desire to
oppose the cuew law they would find at least the soace
of silence in the SpokesmanRevew is perfectly apropos
for it is absolutely correct
The Spokesman-Review posing patriot naturally
the aspect of the dollar mark and every ndiv
dual who has business relations with it knows this to be
true. The knowledge cost him all it worth.
In matters of public morality the Spokesman Review
is wholly hypocritic. Every affair CARRYING the elements
of sensationasm or upon which sensationasm can be
grated by any shift presented by that paper its most
suggestive form The pity and humiliation of it all is
apparent The appeal to the centious side of hui
man nature is always paramount.
1t was solely at this class of newspapers that State
Senator Graves aimed his drastic newspaper regulation
bill in the last legislature
Here is another phase of the question: On page is
displayed the freely published aIluremen to vice.
On the other the paid for offer of parasitic quacks
for stipulated fees the consequences of dssi
patton.
This is the extreme Of commercalized journalism sent
into the home under proestation Of being influential
factor for the maintenance Of public morality. It's ndi-
vdua counterpart is usually found engaged in the dive
keeping business.

than to let him stay and be bored

Yes, but try my way, won't you
DEAR" pursued Mr.. Armitage, "for
a while, at least"
''All right" replied the girl.
Shortly after that she heard jim
my running up the steps. She
greeted him at the door and shook
his hand. Jimmy, young and i'm
petuous, held the hand longer than
was necessary, and then comment
ed on the fact.
"You don't mind my holding your
hand, do your" Re questioned, teas
ingly, expecting the girl to make
an angry retort.
Instead, she replied demurely.
"Of course, there's one good
thing about it," she said. 'If
should have a sudden fainting spell
you could hold me up. OF course,
there's nothing more remote than
that l should faint, but l have the
consolation Of knowing that I'll not
fall anyhow"
Emboldened by her Unexpectedly
lenient words, Jimmy drew her
nearer and in moment his arm
was around her waist.
Now, dear" cried Jimmy, exult-
antly, lust see how much safer
you are than you were before. Now
you can faint all you want to and
I'll guarantee that you'll not fall"
The girl was blushing furiously,
but she had promised her father to
pick out the good thing in every
thing.
What you say is perfectly true, -
she replied. I've never tainted in
my life-but, of course, there is al
ways a possibility. And-and-"
At this point she could think of no
other good points on which to COM
ment, so, in order not to say any
thing blunt, she commented imper-
sonally, Its rather warm this
evening, isn't it?"
Jimmy was still joyously hold
ing the girl when suddenly her
father appeared at the end Of the
hall Mr.. Armitage surveyed the
couple for moment in silence,
and then, with wrath in his gait
he fastened toward them.
What does this mean, sir?''
he cried. What kind Of action is
this?"
Father" said the girl, "why
don't you practice what you
preach? Was that a tactful thing
for you to say? Since I only got
in this position through doing as
you wanted me to, you ought to dc
something to smooth matters over

Mr.. Armitage grunted.
"Welll," said he grudgingly, 90

I'll have to be satisfied. But, Is il
satisfactory to you, or is it only

gotten you in this position?"
By this time the girl had freed
herself and had run a little way vi
the stairs.
What shall it he?" she asked. "a

shooting an enigmatic glance al
her father, "I'm still likely to fam

And then, in moment, she hat
raced up the stair, out of sight.

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- ccllent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fOrnia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

CITY NOT ENJ0|NED
IN PAVING SCRAP
COURT. THOUGH, ORDERS PAR
TIES INTO COURT FOR HEAR
ING ON FACTS.

Fresh from his holidays Judge Don
ovan began work Wednesday morning
when he took up the case brought by
Charles Flowers In the name or Attor.
ney General Bird, to restrain the city
from paying to the United States
Wood Preserving Co. the balance due
on a contract to furnish cresoted paw
Ing blocks. Judge Donovan refused
the Injunction, but directed that the
attorneys come into court at an early
date prepared for o hearing on the
facts.
Attorney Flowers alleged in his ad-
dress that the city had been defraud-
cd In the purchase OF blocks. In that
1t was furnished with material treated
with q cheap substitute for preserving
oils made of decomposed petroleum.
and not from q coal tar preparation.
To support this claim he read from
an afidavit of Prof. Smith. of Indian
apolis, who analysed samples Of oil
taken from the blocks.
CORPORATION Counsel Hally vigorous
ly opposed the granting Of the injunc-
tion, and said that the city Is being
dragged into the quarrel between rival
companies, and that Attorney Flowers
really represented Russell & Jennison,
manufacturers of creosoted block.
Mr.. Hally claimed that the city is
not being defrauded, and that the
blocks were really better than the
specifications called for. To prove
this last statement he presented the
report of an analysis made by an ex'
pert chemist In the employ OF Parke,
Davis & Co.
