nations have got themselves into all
kinds of trouble. That is the origin
of race problems" They have gem
orally been created by wars and con-
quests, or, as in the case Of the negroe
question, by the unspeakabc atrocities
of the slave trade. The gathering OF
races, each within the originally do
terlnined bounds OF their habitation,
would, undoubtedly, solve all the race
questions. How can that be done?

DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN
fine FOR CORPORATIONS

While the plan of settlement
with the street railway companies
has been agreed upon by the city
council in the Olive avenue and
North Howard street bridges, 1t
does not give general satisfaction
and exceptions are being taken by
citizens who are trying to grasp
the idea.
Under the deferred payment plan
proposed the city proposes to
finance the bridge building and
trust to the future for reimburse
ment by the street railways. AS
the total cost of bridge building
will be borne by the city, this
means additional bonds to carry
the work to completion.
To build bridges strong enough
to take care of street railway traf-
fic means an addition of one third
to one half more to the cost of the
bridges. Hence it is considered
only fair that the street car COM
panies should do as the city is do
ing-put up their share of the cash.
Another Objectionable phase of
the deferred payment plan is the
lack of financial responsibility on
the part of the street railway COM
panies in case the bridge is de-
stroyed in a calamity, collapses
through accident or should wear
out in a third or half of the period
of life calculated by the engineer.
In such an event, under the de-
ferred payment plan, the city
would bear all the loss and the
street railways none of it. 1t is
believed that the deferred payment
plan adopted should be revised at
least to the extent of forcing the
traction companies to shoulder "a
share of the burden of liability in
the case of accident or premature
decay of the bridge
People who have had extensive
dealings with public service cor
porations realize that their con-
tract agreements with municipali-
ties are sometimes taken very
lightly, and oftentimes through lax
enforcement of the same by dere-
lict officials entirely forgotten. A
contract extending over a long
period of years, such as that pro-
posed in the deferred payment plan
on the bridge question, would like
ly be the source of differences of
opinion as to its Interpretation and
possible lawsuits in which the city
might lose the street railway COM
panys share of bridge costs in the
end

BAD TURKEYS
CAUSE Of SUIT

If you secured your Thanksgiving
turkey last year at a bargain, the
following facts may provide rea.
son therefor:
A shipment of 5000 pounds of
dressed birds left Hutchinson, Kan
sas last November consigned to the
Imperial Trading Co. of this city at
II cents a pound by Carl Nelson.
For reasons not explain the entire
lot was refused by the Imperial
Trading Co., which caused their be-
ing placed in storage. A portion
of the consignment, 1900 pounds,
was condemned and destroyed by
Deputy Pure Food Inspector w. H..
Adams, and the remainder was sold
at considerable less than the pre-
vailing price.
A suit has been instituted by
Nelson to recover his loss from the
Imperial Trading Co. The COM
plant, which was filed today, asks
Judgment for the amount of stor-
age, express charges. the value of
the turkeys condemned, and the
difference in the shipping price and
that which he was obliged to &C.
cept, total of $570.91.

H. HAYWARD TO
ARMS? NOT YET

Harry Hayward laughs when ask
ed about r. F. Collins challenge
for mortal combat with deadly
grammar as to the respective
merits of each party in the COM
ing campaign.
He intimates that presently he'll
be prepared to drop something in
the nature of the asbestos curtain
on the Collins conflagration.
Mr.. Haywood's friends are offer
ing odds that if he does join a
war dance with Mr.. Collins 1t will
be no slapstick affair. They say it
will be greater mixture of reals
tic drama, tragedy and comedy
than the Shirley company ever
dreamed of.
1t is rumored that Harry has
gone into rehearsal under the eye
of Frank McQuarrie, noted for
merciless stage villainy. From
this training Hayward is expected
to emerge snorting rhetorical
sparks and licking his chops at
mention of Collins.
Collins is prepared to appear on
the scene muttering, VILLAIN, do
your worst; l defy you" where
upon they will fall too. He says
has stage fright already.

C0WLES AFTER
TAFT COIN

w. H. Cowles is meeting with
considerable trouble in his efforts
today to line up republicans in ia
vor of the national campaign fund,
of which the state of Washington is
expected to raise $4,000. The
most of those Mr.. Cowles visited
were not disposed to dig up and
claimed that all the money that
can be raised will be needed to
make the county and district fight.
Billy Goodyear, the democratic
nominee, is already making a
strong campaign against Miles
Poindexter, and sentiment seems
to be growing in his favor. 1t will
take lot of money to pay the ex-
penses of speakers to talk for
Poindexter, as we'll as the rest OF
the ticket, because the district is
only nominally republican where
the state is conceded to be large
ly republican. For this reason the
share Spokane will give to the ma
tional campaign fund is expected to
be small, if raised at all
Mr. Cowles is trying to pass the
national collection hat as a person
al admirer of Mr.. Taft.

RICE SAYS HE'S
AFTER THEM

The bathhouse evils is to be
stamped out by Police Chief Rice,
and to that end stool pigeons who
are used by the local department
are going after evidence which the
uniformed policemen and detec-
tives cannot get on account of be-
ing well known.
Chief Rice made the announce
ment this morning. He claims
that he has not known of those
dives carrying on business illegally
and that Proprietor Nichols of the
Turkish bathhouse opposite the
Spokane hotel. was called onto the
carpet late yesterday and informed
that he must regulate his business
in keeping with the law or suffer
the consequences. Nichols brazen-
1y denied to the chief that he sold
liquor out of hours or allowed
naked men and women to inter-
mingle in his place He admitted,
however. that occasionally he
gave an old customer a drink after
hours, but in no case sold any
liquor"
He was forbidden to do that any
more.
The bathhouse evil has been one
of the hardest to cope with that
the police have been up against
since the notorious women were
ordered out of town and the clos
ing hours were put into effect.
Just why the police have never
been able to see that the dives dis
obeyed the law cannot be under
stood. The average citizen has
known it right along, and some of
the stories of orgies that have been
permitted indicate that the lowest
point of degradation and immoral
ity in them has gone unchecked.
The females against whom the
Main and Yale blocks were closed
are still in town and frequent the
lighthouses for the purpose of
meeting men. Occasionally when
those who are we'll known to the
police are found on the street, they
are arrested. Usually they forfeit
a $25 bond and go right back to
the places they were found and
continue walking the streets.
The lighthouses afford a refuge
where for some reason the police
do not find them.

JOB
DEATHTRAP

Belief that the city is partly re-
sponsbIe for the automobile acct
dent on the East Sprague avenue
trestIe last night is expressed by
many persons who viewed the
scene today. Near where the ma
chine got beyond control is the
most defective piece of repair
work in the whole city.
Where plank in the bridge has
been worn out, instead Of tearing
it up and putting down new one
flush with the surface, an old plank
which looks as though it had been
picked up along the road has been
nailed over a hole and is two inches
higher than the rest of the road
way. This condition is said to have
existed for more than two weeks.
Its positive menace was prob
ably never noticed before the ac-
cident. Today people who have
been compelled to travel over the
trestle are loud in condemnation of
a condition of affairs in the street
department, whose head is w. W..
Witherspoon, that would allow
such defective repairs.
The chauffeur undoubtedly is to
blame for driving his machine at a
terrific rate of speed, yet the
primary cause Of the accident is
believed to be the defective repair
ing.

THE. REMOVAL OF REGISTRAR
GLEASON.

The remova! by Gov. Blanchard
Of Hon Jere nj Gleason, Regis
trar of the voters Of the Parish Of
Orleans. is the greatest outrage
ever perpetrated upon the citizens
Of New Orleans, surprising even
the celebrated Porter Parker in
ci lent.
Mr.. Gleason is a gentleman OF
@crupulous honesty. He has held
his position for many years and
has the reputation Of being abso-
ute fair ard impartial to all par
ties. But, he has. from the Gov
ernor's narrow point of view. one
glazing and objectionable fault,
and that is. he favors the election
ii don. j. Y. Sanders fer Gov =
nor. mo partisan must hold the
eiiice Of Registrar Of Noters' says
lis Royal Highness. and h forth
with removes Mr.. Gleason ana
appoints Mortimer Wisdom, class
mate of Theodore Wilkinson at
Wa hington ana Lee University,
candidate on the Wilkinson ticket
sor State Central Committeeman
and President Of The Fourteenth
Ward Wilkinson Club. Nowhere
in the city Of New Orleans is there
a more avow+d Wilkinson pargi-
san than Mortimer Wisdom.
What wa tn Governors idea II
appointing Mr, Wisdom? II Il
was to. have him d. any dirty
work We are Of the impression
nc is mistaken in his man, for no
one who knows Mr.. Wisdom
would suspect him Of doing any
thing dishonorab bic.
GOV. Blanchard KNOWS that the
Wilkinson canvasser3 nave made
90 j list Of over three thousand
names to be stricken from the
rolls on account oi imaginary err
rors in gi5tration: he know that
Mr. Gleason Will act only alter
thorough investigation and not
then unless there is substantial
evidence Of fraud; he knows that
Mr.. Wisdom is entirely unfamiliar
with the work Of the Registrar Of
Voters and would be compelled
to act upon the advice Of others.
His Excellency has figured il out
very nicely and trusts that he has
nit upon a scheme to disfranchise
several thousand honest voters in
New Orleans.
