WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
Attacking stock gambling as an
evil pernicious as that of gambling
on the race track, and asking for
legislation to prohibit marginal
sales and commodity corners; de-
handing that a new employers liza
bility law be passed that will con-
form with the recent decision hand
ed down by the supreme court; de-.
claring that the lack Of provision
for injured governmental employ
es was national outrage, and ad-
vising the passage of liability act
for governmental employees on the
Panama canal; taking a sidewise
fling at the railroads and enunciat-
ing the doctrine that the use of
injunctions to prohibit proper ac-
ton on part OF labor unions to bet
ter their condition is an unwar-
rantable invasion of their funda-
mental rights. Roosevel's special
message read to congress today
presented to public in concise form
the presidential views on what he
believed should be the administra-
tons policy.
= In another sense 1t was also an
expression OF Rooseveltian fore
cast of the administration desires
in the shaping the platform of the
republican party at Chicago next
summer.
The message created a stir in
the capitol 1T means the renom-
ination of Roosevelt" declared

WACCONER CAN'T
HEAD LEAGUE

The Spokane County Republican
league elected e. F. Waggoner
president last night and lost him
today. Mr.. Waggoner says he is
too busy and in ineligible besides
by reason OF having worked for
prospective candidates before the
primaries, which is contrary to the
rules Of the organization for Off
GERS under the bylaws. So Mr..
Waggoner resigns and the club will
be without president until Feb.
q, the date of next meeting, I'M
less special session is called.
8. A. Mann was elected secre-
tary last night, and w. F. McCrea

THEATERS
TO FIGHT

The theatrical managers of Spo-
kane have decided to refuse to
obey the closing order issued by
Prosecutor Barnhart next Sunday.
All of them have plays on that
date, it being the opening night for
the stock and vaudeville programs.
The Spokane has Florence Rob-
erts for Sunday night, and there is
no disposition to cancel the en-
gagement.
Sunday evening is the only time
a majority of theater patrons can
really enjoy a play, and an attempt
to close the theaters is certain to
kick up the biggest sort Of row.
Cigar stores and small dealers
will probably obey the order.

PRIMARY DOES
NOT BAR WOMEN

OLYMPIA, Jan. 3I-The attor-
ney general rules that the new di-
rect primary law does not prohibit
a woman becoming candidate for
school director or county superin,
tendent of schools, despite the pro-
vision In section 4 OF the act re.
quiring that every declaration OF
candidacy shall recite that the can.
didate Is qualified voter. The at.
torney general holds that the new
law was not intended to prevent
women holding these positions as
they may under old laws. and that
the declaration as II appears in the
statute is only a form and must
yield to other laws not affected by
the primary statute.

down into Hangman valley, only to

II the dealers could dispose of
their present stocks OF wood there
would be a general decline in the
price. 1t is claimed that some
dealers will be compelled to hold
some OF their present supply over
until next winter, as they will be
unable to dispose of it this year.
But the merchants have met the
same lard circumstance and
moved their stocks at prices peo-
pie could afford. And the man
who Is working merely once in
awhile now Is apt to figure that
dealers he trades with can stand
loss as well as he can.
