SOLVE DRINK QUESTION
BY Enforcing Model License Law
AnthSaIoon League Being Used
For Political Purposes, Says
Gilmore.

New York, Jan. 10.--Charges that
the Anti-Saloon League is supported
iby multi-miliionaires who use the or,
lganization for political purposes, were
linade at meeting today OF New York
Wholesale liquor dealers by +. III.
Gilmore, editor of liquor trade mag
azine. Gilmore also said that to- lie.
feat the rising tide Of prohibition the
saloon business must be purged OF its
levil aspects.
The Anti-Saloon League Is the
strongest and best officered, best
! financed and best legally advised or
| ganzation In the world, said Gilmore.
I"lt now holds the balance of power In
la number of states, The league Is
supported BY millionaires. and Is
banded together, not for the purpose
lof bettering the people at large, but
to give political power to these men
who contribute hundreds of thousands
|cf dollars annually TO its campaign
funds. They secretaly direct and
manipulate the organization so that
they are able often not only to seat
whom they please In the gubernatorial
funds. They secretly direct and
selection Of United States senators.
'ln order to combat this league and
forestall prohibition which every one
knows does not really prohibit-we
must try to rid the saloon business OF
Its evil aspects. The present sentI.
ment against liquor traffic lis caused
by saloonkeepers who fall to obey the
laws and by the public and public offi-
GERS who fail to enforce them. The
model license law provides that all
licenses outstanding shall remain In
force unless revoked by q majority
|af the vote Of TIM people ~ Nv the
failure Of the holder to obey saioon
regulations. 1t limits the humber or
licenses to be granted and otherwise
restrict the liquor traffic. A general
adoption OF such law would do more
toward q sane salvation of the drink
question than all the agitation OF the
anti-saloon league and prohibitionists
together"

New York, Jan. 10.-For the first
time since he became a recognized

Dental nomination, Secretary Taft
tonight faced a New York audience
and set forth in detail his stand on
the pertinent question of the relative
interests and rights of labor and cap

to be welcomed, while wealth i'm.
properly used was to be condemned.
He advocated unionism in so far as
sympathy and resultant cooperation
made for the common good. ell In
sisted that labor needs capital to Sc
cure best production. while capital
needs labor in producing anything.
Both elements must work together,
they are dependent upon each other
for success. The laborer should be
the last to object to the accumulation
of capital because great capital is
necessary to advance enterprises that
employ labor and the greater the cap
ital the chances for the employment
of labor is proportionately increased.

CONCLUDED on Fifth Psge-I
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-09-09
HOW LABOR DAY
WAS SET ASIDE

gued that sufficient legal holidays
already encountered the calendar.
Meanwhile, before the practice
was authorized by the state laws,
the day was employed by common
consent by the laboring men for
the holiday which has since be-
come almost a national institution.
One by one the states acceded
to the request of the labor men,
and set aside the desird time for
the labor holiday, until now every
state in the Union recognizes it
except North Dakota. In Louisiana
the observance is only in Orleans
parish, and in Wyoming it is OBJ
served by proclamation of the
governor, but the holiday is as
near country wide as it could be
without the enactment of a nation
al law.
This, too is being attempted and
it is possible that in the sparring
of the two great political parties
over the bulk of the labor vote in
this country one party or the 9th
err in the national congress will
create a national holiday of Labor
day, with it's sanction on the sta
tute books

The platform of the convention
was adopted after the pros and
cons of its religious nature were
thoroughly gone into. Rev. w. B.
Eakin argued that the mention of
a belief in the Almighty was con-
sistent with the prohibition move
ment.
\ suggestion which received
much applause was made by Mr..
Eakin that not withstanding the
fact that prohibition is seldom
blessed with a candidate in office,
every man is to work faithfully for
election, at least increase the pro-
hibition vote. The platform de.
mands absolute prohibition.

To get the magic words legal
holiday" after Labor day" in the
official almanacs was the work of
more than Is years and incalcula-
BILE energy on the part OF the Ia
Dor leaders of the country.
These leaders believed that the
first Monday in September should
rightfully be set apart for their
playtime, a day when they could
drop the hammer, gather together
the "missus and the kids and go
for a picnic or a country eXcur-
sion without having their pay
checks curtailed, or their standing
with their employers impaired.
So Is or 20 of them began an
agitation, nearly % years ago, to
pass through the various state le-
gislatures an act declaring the first
Monday in September a legal holt
day in honor of the laboring men
of the country.
Their progress was pitifully slow
at first, and they encountered all
sorts of obstacles. Labor as So
cial and political and economical
power was not then at it's present
strength, and the legislators ar

society has been brilliant enough
to satisfy the utmost desires of
the most ambitious. Both the king
and queen commented upon her
loneliness when she was presented
at Buckingham palace two years
ago, and ever since she has had
peers of every degree constantly
in her train of admirers. Scarcely
week passes that rumor does not
have her engaged to this or that
one.
No picture gives an adequate
idea of the young girls loneliness,
because of it's ever varying express
sion. Her coloring, one of her
great charms, is lost in a photo
graph. 1t has been the dream of
Shannon and Sergeant to point her,
but the willful beauty has not yet
found time for the sittings.
Her charm of manner tells more
than her actual beauty. In room
you will see her surrounded by a
dozen or more men, while other
girls of her age will be talking to
each other. Yet no one accuses
her of being a fiirt. She never
tries to outrival her sex, and for
all her success she is extremely
popular.
She is much of an idealist, and
it would not be surprising if in the

Special Correspondence to The Press
LONDON, Sept. 9.-Framing the
written proposals of marriage from
ones admirers and using them as
ornaments for ones boudoir is the
latest fad among the young buds
of British society.
Originated by an American girl,
the idea has taken strong hold,
and it has England's titled gallants
by the ears. For many of these
fortune seeking noblemen have
obeyed literally the old time motto:
IF at first you don't succeed, try,
try again"
Margaretta Drexel, the beautiful
young daughter of Anthony j.
Drexel and wife of New York, who
has amazed English society by go
ing heartwhole through two Lon
don seasons, waited upon by vir-
tual train of courtiers, started the
fad. A score or more such pro-
posals decorate her bedroom walls.
And the amusing part of it all
is that a comparison of notes, as a
result of the new idea, shows that
some of the peers have been work
ing overtime in their efforts to cap
ture some one of the many debu-
tantes we'll endowed with this

husbands. When Wilkinson Smith,
a rich lace manufacturer, died he
left G250,000 to found pensions to
be given to widows and spinsters
of the county, on condition that the
beneficiaries undertake VOW of

A handsome blond woman, styl-

was she that she failed to notice
that she was slowly but surely los
ing her handkerchief. She had just
turned away, disgust written over
her countenance, when her diem
ma was noted by stern visaged
individual of the masculine gender.
Selling the handkerchief, which by
this time had fallen to the ground,
he approached her with:

man.

No more phones will be installed
at the old $3.50 rate within the
two and a half mile circle by the
Pacific States Telephone Co. of
Spokane. The new 81 rate will be
made universal in this territory as
soon as the company can convert
what is now termed four party SER
vice into two party service.
Beyond the two and a half mile
line the rate will be increased from
$1.75 to 81 per month for four party
phones, which class of service only
will prevail there. The company
claims that it will build new lines
into the outskirts of the city, and
says it has men out now making
estimates of the requirements in
the way of new cables.
The company claims that the
advance in rates Is due to the pc
culiar conditions in the telephone
industry, which makes additional
phones beyond certain number
cost more for maintenance pro-
portionately than those originally
installed. TO illustrate, it is claim
ed that the individual cost per
phone is proportionately much
greater in an exchange having 12,-
600 phones than one having only
5000.
1t is claimed, further, that tele-
phone service in Spokane today,
with about 10000 phones in use, is
worth more to the patron than it
was five or six years ago with only
half that number of phones.
