WHY NOT CUT THEM ALI oUTq

A plan to limit the number of sa-
looms to Spokane to 15O is now being
discussed From the standpoint of
direct returns in case this may be a
losing venture for the city; but II one
figures the ultimate result, 1t may be
predicted that the city will be finan-
cially bettered. says the Spokane
Chronicle.
Taking the estimate of Spokane's
population as figured by the secre-
tary of state, 10000. the reduction
of saloon licenses to $50, would still
leave one saloon to every 500 peo-
Pile in this city. After deducting
those who do not drink over the barr
including most of the women and
children, II will be seen that only
about $50 people will be left to each
saloon. In other words the money
spent by these $50 men must pay
rent pay the bartenders, pay the
proprietor and pay the interest on
the money invested.
II the saloons can make much
money on fewer patrons, then look
out for methods that are not in ac-
cordance with the laws. The figures
suggest that $50 saloons in a town the
size of Spokane is about all the city
can legitimately support. 1t is prob
able, in fact it is certain, some of the
lower dives resort to means that
make criminals and fill the city jails,

RESPECT FOR THE COURTS.

AS a people we have always had
the highest respect for the decisions
of our courts, and though some times,
as in the Dred Scott decision and
the income tax suit, the common peo-
pie could not quite understand how
the judges arrived honestly at their
decisions.
Still we have upheld the tribunals
and been loyal to the decisions. But
of late 1t seems as If the courts all
along the line from the supreme court
at Washington to the lower courts of
our states, had become permeated
with swift and frantic desire to
thwart the will of the people and turn
loose upon us thieves, thugs, MUIR
derers and boodlers about as fast as
we can bring them to trial.

KILLS FOSTER son.

Thomas Murray, a former student
of the Ellensburg high school, and
well known in Walla Walla. where he
participated in the interscholastic
track meet under the auspices of
whitman college last year. was shot
and instantly killed in his home Sat
urday night, his foster mother, Mrs.
]. c. Norris, having fired the fatal
shot says the Walla Walla States
man.
Murray was about 81 years of age,
and had won quite a reputation
throughout the state as an athlete. In
the interscholastic meet held in this
city last year, he won the quarter mile
dash and made an excellent showing
in all of the dashes
Insane jealousy on the part of Mrs.
Norris, caused by attentions Of Muir
ray to a young lady of Elleusburg, is
given as the cause of the rash act.
After the shooting Mrs. Norris at
tempted her own life by taking poi
son, but an overdose of the drug fail
ed to accomplish its purpose, and she
will recover.
Mrs. Norris, Murray and his room
mate all attended the skating rink al
Ellensburg, Saturday evening, return
ing home about 10 o'clock. The two
boys retired shortly after, when the
woman entered the room to kiss her
adopted son good night She made
three trips to the room where the
boys were sleeping before she sum-
moned courage to pull the trigger of
the revolver which she carried con-
ceaed in her skirts

coming from them. No one can see
or understand all the splendid results
of such meetings,
They not only uplift the world
spiritually, but they bring out the
best sentiments in men. give them a
different view of life and elevate
their ideals and start them on a
higher level
The broader the spirit in which
evangelical meetings are held the
better for mankind and the world for
nature knows or recognizes no dis
tnctions among men. They are all
part of the plan, all members of the
household of the world and must all
climb upwards by the same devious
pathway.
Pendleton is particularly fortunate
in having two good evangelical meet
ings in one winter. The results will
be felt iIi better citizenship, more in
telligent voting, more enlightened
living, cleaner and higher personal
and public ideals and in broader and
nobler mental activity.
The forces of wrong are organized
thoroughly; the forces of right must
organize and stay organized While
there is but one organization for the
promotion of wrong doing, there are
half hundred divided factions or
the side of right. These evangelical
meetings always tend to solidify the
forces working for Righteousness ant
in Pendleton this is particularly ant
emphatically true.

ness have borne excellent results and

the people.

city for the past two weeks an ex-
ceIlent revival meeting in which
many people have been converted
from the wrong way Of living to a
'better way and tomorrow another

convert people to a different way Of

THE WORTH OF LOVE.

In youth, love seems so commonplace
a thing,
So much is heaped within our list
less hands,
That prodigal, we think no shame to
fling
It's wealth away upon the highway

So scant, so precious, seem those

+ + - = + 4.
King Ahasueres had been induced
by his prime minister, Haman, who
hated the Jews in general and Nor
decai in particular, to set day for
the slaughter of all the Jews of the
realm. Haman had become jealous
of this people because of their ap-
parent prosperity and devotion to re-
ligion, and he disliked Mordecai be-
cause of the prominence of the lat
ter and the general respect shown
him.
Mordecai discovered the plot and
informed his cousin, the queen. Af-
her people. she reached the kings
ear, and with success. The result
was turning of the tables. Ha-
man was executed for his base ma
chinations and Mordecai elevated to
his place. The day set for the mas
sacre of the Jews became for them
day of rejoicing. That day was
the 14th day of Adar in the Hebrew
calendar, which was yesterday This
day Haman chose by lot wherefore
this holiday is called the feast of
lots. 'Purim" literally translated
means lots" Day before yesterday
was the fast of Esther, in memory
of Esther's fast before going to the
king.
Monday evening the "Megilla," a
history of the events of the time of
Mordecai and Esther, was read to
the congregations in all the syna-
gogues, and yesterday morning SER
vices were held in all the synagogues
of the country. Joy reigned through
out the holiday.
The Jew of today makes merry
on the anniversary of the rescue of
his forefathers from cruel fate.
