FRIDAY, MARCH Is, 1905.

In the past the writer has found
occasion to indulge in an exchange Of
newspaper pleasantries with the editor
of the WenatcheeWorld for the pure love
of the game. He likes to see the sparks
fly, much as a boy likes noise, even
tho himself playing no more important
part in the cause than the sand on a
parlor match box.
This was the writers first meeting with
the clever editor of the World, bright
young fellow who has decided to quit
newspaper work and enter the consular
service of the government. I'm
doubtedly the substantial rewards will
be more satisfactory but will there be
as much fun.

The Tainted News Bureau

From press echos it now appears
that there is located somewhere in
Pennsylvania an industrious news man
ufacturing bureau with checking
account of some hall million dollars
with the obvious purpose of influencing
public opinion on the Aldrich currency
bill. That the influence is sinister,
unwholesome and against the interest
of the public it is not even necessary
to say. Senator Aldrich's class interest
and we'll known leaning toward the
money powers ought to disqualify him.
In the very imperfection of human
nature it is impossible for him to frame
a currency bill that is free from bias.
The Aldrich bill should be defeated.

Call Of the Wireless.

When the Frisco cop hears bell
ring In his pocket he will have to get
busy and hurry to the nearest police
box and call up the police station. A
Berkeley (Cal) electrician has erected
a wireless pole on the site for the new
town hall and is testing a scheme TO
call policemen from their beats by
wireless. They will carry in their he'll
NETS simple apparatus. When the
chief turns on the current wireless i'm
pulses will dart out in every direction.
As the current comes in contact with
the coll in the patrolman's hat it rings
the summoning bell. Wonders Of
wonders! What boon this would be
to the lonely suffering wife when hub
by is out enjoying himself at the club
or lodge If the same scheme was adopt
ed for domestic use When the little
bell tinkled hubby would have to beat
It for home.

Woes of the Traveller.

Tourists are usually considered by
the "stay at homes to be among
those most favored by the gods, that
they have naught but a round of de-
lirious JOY while visiting foreign lands
But it is evident to many travellers
that such is not the case. Some of the
tourists who have recently returned
from foreign shores tell unhappy tales
Of some phases of their life abroad.
Italy and the Italians, according to
one party of Americans, made their
lives miserable through the almost
numberless games of petty grating
they encountered there.
For instance, In Naples they were
given counterfeit money, which was
especially difficult to detect because
they were comparatively unfamiliar
with the coin of the realm. Secondly,
they were given Greek five franc ($D
pieces In change, which few merchants
and no hotels will accept except at a
liberal discount Thirdly, they would
pay money to Neapolitans which would
be returned by the taker as bad. In
spection would show that the coin was
plugged or counterfeit. The willy
native had dexterously substituted a
bad coin for the Americans good one.
Applications to the police, after an
hours search for a guardian of the
peace, usually resulted In the officer
siding with the native, presumably d.
viding the spoils with him in secret
later. The party had to pay outra-
geous overcharges to some Of the Nea-
politan boatmen and cab drivers rather
than remain the center of attention in
dirty, smelly, Jeering crowd of ma
tives who stand around public places
all day awaiting just such forms of
amusement.
What Is the best means Of relief for
the American traveller in southern It.
ally, assuming that the natives Of the
northern part are, as It Is said, less
avaricious?
Probably, in view of the. attitude Of
the police, there is only one thing for
him to do. That is to learn the Ian
guage perfectly, with the peculiarities
Of dialect, to disguise himself in a
Neapolitan costume of ragged clothes
dirt and odors and pass himself of on
the natives as one of their own social
set. Perhaps If his disguise were
good enough he could pay his travelling
expenses in southern Italy by grating
ON less ingenious Americans.

The Overhead Crossing

Now that the exact height of the
overhead crossing is known and it is
made evident that when the crossing
is completed Front street will be
closed up, some people will begin to
realize that The Echo was about right
when it stated nearly two years ago
that an overhead crossing for teams
was impracticable inside the corporate
limits. A subway just above the depot
for heavy traffic and an overhead cross
ing for pedestrians near where the
crossing is being constructed would
have been much more satisfactory.

When the great dramatic poet penned

not, of course, know with what force
they could be applied to mortals here

council or to the intelligent suffragans
who are responsible for their being in

to every meeting of our municipal leg

Diplomatic Language Extraordinary

In a half column diarrhea of diplo-
matte language-diplomatic because
taught only in schools of diplomacy
and only half understood by those out
side the charmed circle--the editor OF
the Wenatchee World alludes in a
featured article to a visit of the writer
to his city last Saturday. The follow
ing extract, the most diplomatique
in the story, will serve to show that he
was troubled with something more
than mild attack OF running off at the
head end. The attack They say"
was brought on because the writer,
thru no fault Of his own disappointed
the editor of the World with mild
manners and altogether harmless ap-
pearance. But if you are waiting to
see what manner of stuff Diplomatic
language" is made Of, hear the follow
ing, which the ejectment OF from the
system must have been followed by
relief similar to that which follows the
giving of a dose of paregoric to suck

GIRLS ON BROADWAY.
Typical of the Continent, an English
 Writer Says.

New York Letter to the Pan Mall Ga-
 zette, London.
 Before the great arc lights have begun to hzz and glow, processions of work girls, of shop girls. of professional girls have passed up and down this great ave- nue of the city, which in variety of in- terest and in claims to ones attention forms a strong rival to the Paris boule- wards.
 These young women are typical of New York and indeed of the whole American continent. In independence, in fearless ness, in ability to act and think for them selves, they are clearly daughters of the New World, but in the taste and elegance of their clothes there is something of the Partisan spirit of that peculiar faculty for combining colors and blending effects which is certainly the heritage of the "ouvriere," and yet seems by some mys- terious means to have become waited across the broad bosom of the Atlantic. You feel an atmosphere of well being, of solid contentment, prosperity and self esteem about the common people in the states This is typihed by these we'll gowned, bright and pleasing young wo- men who carry out so large part of the daily routine of Uncle Sam. You see no dejected countenances. Why be dejected when you have the chance, or at least the sweet Illusion, of being one day called to the highest destinies of the countryf
