SAD STORY Of
SOME SMOKERS
part OF THE COUNCIL" OBJECTS
TO THE REPORTORIAL
PIPES.

No longer is this a free country. For
no longer can the newspaper boys
smoke during council meetings. Their
pipes must be kept in their pockets
and it does no good to have the
"makin's" any more. Election cigars
are worthless while the august body
is in session. That is, for the repor-
tiers, understand. For anyone else it
is all right.
The story is a sad one. Last night
the boys had settled down to the regu-
lar grind of the routine work of
long council meeting. With their
pipes in their mouths, they were get
ting the little enjoyment they could
from their pipes during overtime for
which they are never paid. Small So
lace it is, but it helps, or used to- 1t
doesn't any more, for they can't do
it any more. Hardly had the pipes
been lighted; and the fragrant fumes
were just beginning to ascent to the
ceiling, when the city clerk leaned over
and said in a voice full Of sympathy
for he has been there:
Boys, you'll have to cut il out
Part of the council Objects
What do you think of that? Coun-
Gilman Neibergal had just lighted one
of the longest, latest, blacklist cigars
ever seen, Councilman Hull was fin
ishing his and getting the best of the
last of it. Councilman Bachtold was
doing justice to half consumed Iona
one. Councilman Lehn wasn't smok-
ing. but it wasn't his fault. He hap
pened to be just out. Alone in his
glory, wreathed in the smoke from the
cigars Of his fellows, one lone council
man must have objected to the frag
rant and harmless pipes of the re-
porterS. the fumes from which are as
balm on a summers breeze compared
to the cigars smoked by some of the
council
Thus it happened. There was one
of the trio Of reporters who didn't
care, for he doesn't smoke. But there
were two who did, but never will again.
unless the council takes action and
says they may enjoy with them the
soothing effects of the weed.

indiana IS THE
(Continued From Page One.)

The candidacy of Mr.. Kern will un-
questiOnably add zest to the demo-
cratic campaign in Indiana, but, so far
as can be discerned to date, it does not
give promise of weighing very heavily
in the results next November 1t does
not appear that the candidacy of Mr..
Fairbanks had much to do with the
sweeping republican victory of. four
years ago. In truth, the votes of Hoos-
ierdom are not so easily lured by the
vice presidential bait as seems to be
commonly supposed.
Another factor of d somewhat
special sort that many believe will be
of considerable Importance in the
forthcoming election is the industrial
and business depression which is more
or less in evidence in this state 1t may
be doubted whether the recent reac-
ton in the business world has been felt
anywhere more seriously than in Indi-
ana.
The question that naturally presents
itself to the political observer is, what
effect may those conditions be expected
to have upon the forthcoming election
On every side one will hear from demo-
Gratis the prediction that this epoch of
stagnation, falling as it has in republic
can times. will turn the votes of thou
sands of laboring men from the re-
publican to the democratic candidates.
1t is hard to escape the conviction that
there will be a tendency in this drec-
ton
The one thing, however. which more
than any other makes the outcome of
the campaign in Indiana an absolute
uncertainty is the overshadoWing
Temperance" question, which already
appears to have crowded practically
all other issues into the background.
In common with other states, Indiana
has long been agitated by troublesome
questions connected with the sale and
use of Intoxicating liquors. but never
before has the subject been allowed
| so completely to mOnopolze the polit-
| icaI thought and effort of the common
wealth.
The republicans have put themselves
on record as favoring county local
optiOn'-Which leaves the counties to
decide the liquor question for them
selves-and pledged themselves, if sue
cessfui at the polls to enact legislation
adequate for the inauguration of this
improved system The democrats de-
clared merely for local option of the
old sort, by townships and wards.
There is, therefore, going to be local
option whatever happens in November
the question is merely one of the larger
or smaller unit by which it shall be ap
Piled But this question is a vital one,
and in the ensuing campaign there is
going to be no issue which will stir the
politicians and the people as will this
one

CHEER NAME OF
SENATOR ANKENY
SPEAKERS AT LAST NIGHTS
MEETING DECLARED SENATOR
WILL BE INDICATED.

A well-attended mass meeting, called
by Senator Ankenys business friends
for the purpose OF re1utlng the charges
against the senator recently made by
Golfers Weekly and number of Wash
ington papers was held in the court
room yesterday evening at o'clock. In
the neighborhood Of 400 friends Of
Walla Walla's representative in the, ma
tons capital were in attendance, and
were liberal in their applause at each
mention Of Mr. Ankeny's name.
John Brining, of Dayton, was intro
duced by Robert H. Johnson, and made
the, opening address of the evening,
dwelling at length upon the past rec
ord of Mr.. Ankeny, and relating the ex-
periences of his early days in Wash
ington when he was employed with
pack train. The numerous instances OF
aid given to farmers of this section
during the hard times, were recounted,
and the speaker was loud in his de-
nunciation Of the methods employed by
the senator's opponents in preferring
slanderous charges on the eve of the
election, when nothing against his char
acter had been previously brought to
light. He referred to the charges
against Mr.. Ankeny and alluded to the
slanderous charges as 1.-THE wild va
porings Of a fretful child
J. F. Mclean, one of the staunch
Ankeny supporters, was called upon
for an address, but he said all he had
TO say about the matter was that he
was going to vote for Senator Levi An
keny.
Perhaps the surprise Of the meeting
was the short talk given by DR.. N. G.
Blalock. an old-line democrat who
said that democrats, as well as re-
publicans, should stand by Mr.. Ankeny
without regard to party lines, and
should condemn the villainOus charges
which he believes will eventually act
as boomerang to the OPPOSITION of the
senator. DR.. Blalock said he did not
like to hear his fellow toWnsman
spoken ill of, and urged those present
to aid in rolling up a unanimous vote
in this county next Tuesday. $50 far
as my influence will go" said he. lit
will be used in behalf of Mr.. Ankeny."

which have been maligning the sena

mants as falsehoods, and explained the
folly Of instituting a libel suit against
Golfers and the western papers which
reprinted the story concerning Mr..
Ankeny. He should not take the case
before court and jury" said the
speaker, but for vindication should
go before his fellow citizens"
Mr. Sharpstein included the Spokes-
Tman-Review, the Yakima Republic and
the local organ in his talk against the
opposition Of the senator, and in proof
of the falsehood Of some of the, charges
referred to the business institutions in
which Senator Ankeny has been one of
the leaders.
