HUGE CHORUS
FOR THE FAIR

1t is not unlikely that an effort
VIII be made to organize a big
chorus for the Interstate fair. The
chorus would be organized along
the lines adopted successfully by
the Minneapolis exposition years
ago. 1t is believed that a chorus
of over 300 voices could be got to-
gether, which would be a great at
traction and would create general
interest in good music throughout
the city generally.
1t could be arranged to give
members of the chorus who at
tended the required number of re-
hearsals season pass to the fair.
This would serve to stimulate in
terest other than that felt by ev-
cry music lover The chorus would
be of great benefit as an educa-
tional measure, it would give local
yocalists the opportunity to sing
some choruses such as the Hal
laluja chorus" and other classic
creations, as we'll as pieces OF

mitted.
Further than this: No community
can prosper commercially when
rottenness in it's very foundations
is allowed to go unexposed and
unpublished.
Finally: If very business man
in San Francisco should fail as a
result of our endeavors, we should
proceed in our sworn duty of try.
ing to punish crime where we find
it.
One great purpose Of the prose-
cution has already been accom-
plished. San Francisco has been
cleansed.
We have far greater and far
broader task before us. We know
that crimes have been committed.
We know who committed those
crimes. We want to punish the Of
tenders, not because of feelings of
animosity, but because of the de-
terrent effect it will have on the
criminally inclined all over the
country.
You can't stop the crimes of the
rich law breaker by exposing them.
You've got to put the fear of God
in the heart of the millionaire
criminal, by punishment. You've
got to send him to Jail.
firmly believe that one of the
chief causes of our social unrest
is that feeling, down deep in the
heart of the average citizen, that
there is one law for the poor and
another law for the rich.
Every day in our police courts,
some poor fellow is sent to a cell
for half year because he has
stolen some article that could be
replaced for couple of dollars. Yet
when rich man has stolen a mil
lion dollars from a stricken city,
his rich friends rally to his side
and the cry goes up, LET him
alone!"
1t is this condition which exists
throughout the nation that we are
fighting to overcome in San Fran
cisco to-day. We want to show to
every man, woman and child in
this country that no man is above
the law. In spite of new obstacles,
our outlook is brighter than it ever
was.

The expense attached to such an
organization would be compare
lively small. The proposition has
been talked of for some time and
would probably meet with the ap.
prevail and financial support of the
fair association.
The chorus could be sweiled by
out-of-town singers, the towns of
the Inland Empire having num-

A. w. Jones, secretary of the
10000 club, said today that the
proposition to assemble a great
chorus here during fair week was
discussed last year but that no

The inordinate vanity of the

sPoKANE's DEAD RAT INVESTMENT.

The board of health wants the city council to appro-
pirate 5000 to be paid out in bounes dead rats Demise
of the rat is desired precautionary against
possible spread of the bubonic plague of which much
heard in coast cities few months ago.
Nothing is said about it in those exposed ocali-
ties and there has been symptom of the disease
reported in this city.
On the other hand there are more uses for public
money than be readily enumerated
AS far passive interest goes any rat would better
be dead than alive He need not necessarily be afflicted
with bubonc bearing fees to merit whatever of immor
tally rat may hope to inherit.
But the expenditure of any considerable amount of
public funds at this time that end is of doubt
full wisdom.
There are hundreds of people in this city who cannot
have water in their houses yards because the city
Gil thinks it hasn't the money to spend for mains.
Every month would show splendid total of human
suffering averted and humane relief supplied could the
city maintain its emergency hospital at the police station
There of idle citizens whose families look to
them for bread who could be happily relieved Of the grind
ing such conditions impose if the city would proceed
with public work that should performed this time to
celent advantage
Yet portion of Spokanes city money is demanded for
the slaughter of rats.
The theory that the is responsible for bubonc is
very scientific and ingenious Quite number of learned
gentlemen unroubed by the immediate necessity of hus
ling food for and children with growing appetites
spent no little time and money in figuring it out.
But that fact impressive it may be- does not justify
the expenditure of public funds to appreciate extent
In city where there is pressing possibility of bubonc
nor superabundance of rats, and at time when the
people who furnish these funds have financial problems
face daily that surmOunt fear of anything in the nature
of plague.
The board of health has offered furnish poison with
out cost and to place it where it will do rats most harm
IT the citizen will display enough interest in the enterprise
to notify the board when rat symptoms prevail
little individual energy in the way of launch
ing bricks setting traps giving the terrier and cat
chance for enjoyment will aid greatly in cheap and
thorough decrease of the rat
No need of an appropriation of any consequence from
city funds to accomplish what the persons most benefited
accomplish without than ordinary trouble is
apparent.
But need for city money is one of the things ALWAYS
apparent about the city hall 1t gets back to the public
issues
