FREE SPEECH FIGHT
Now that the first long fight

Now that the first long fight
with the l. w. w. seems nearly
ended, what has the struggle
between the street speakers
and the police department cost
the city of Spokane? 1t is a
hard question to answer, for
there have been so many SEEM
ingly inconsequential angles to
the fight that have added to
the big bill of expense that an
exact summing of the entire
expense would take weeks of
consideration and expense.
In round numbers, it is esti-
mated that this fight has cost
the taxpayers of Spokane $10.-
900. This amount or there
abouts is claimed to have been
expended for food, special POI
lice to aid the regular depart
ment to cope with the situa-
ton, medical attention, extra
fuel and other sundry ex-
penses. In addition to these
expenses, 1t is declared that
damage suits asking for tn
payment of about $4,000 VIII
be filed against the city.

TILLMAN MAY QUIT
RumOr Says That Picturesque
Senator Will Resign Seat.
Is III at His South Carolina Home OF
General Nervous Debiiity-His
Stormy Career in Upper
House of Congress.

Wasbington.-The shril voice OF
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of
South Carolina may never be heard
in the senate chamber again Senator
TilIman is i'll at his home. a farm
near Trenton, S. c. The TumOr that
he contemplates resigning his seat is
revived, but Mr.. Tillman is following
the same course he did last summer
and refuses to confirm or deny the
TumOT.
Senator Tillman has not fully recoY-
cred from the attack of partial paraly-
sis which seized him last summer He
tried to cure this by an extended tour
of several months in Europe The
Health resorts of the continent helped
him greatly and he returned to the
| United States much stronger than he
was when he left While the paralysis
has not returned. a general debility
/ from nervousness has made his lie
unhappy in the last few months.
The going of Tillman will take from
] the senate one of its most picturesque
characters. "PitchfOrk Ben" as he is
called, is feared Of all other senators
for the sharpness of his tongue and
the keeness of his wit. No man in the
United States senate is an ablerrough

moved from the old hulk, and the
rooms amidships that used to open
into the engine room have been COM
bined into the assembly hall.
The after deck has been boarded
in and transformed into a reading
room. Tables and chairs, with many
books, magazines and newspapers,
give the place a homelike appearance,
and here the sailors of the Seven
Seas, with human derelicts from many
lands, congregate in the afternoons
and evenings to find out what is go
ing on in the great world.
Really the Seaman's Bethel is a
sort of institutional church. The after
part of the hold has been fitted up as
a gymnasium. Here also is a bowl
ing alley; and in another corner are
bath tubs and a water heater. An
other part of the hold is fitted up
with hunks, where the sailor who
finds himself broke" between voy-
ages is made welcome to spend the
night-or as many nights as he
pleases.
Every Thursday and Sunday even
ing Gospel services are held, but no
collection ever is taken. The mission
is maintained by the Seamen's Friend
society as a true charity, on the prin-
ciple that salvation is really free.

and ready debater than Tillman
While his remarks have never carried
much weight they have appealed tC
the galleries and looked well in print
His logic might have been poor and
his speeches inferior to those Of his
opponents, but his manneTisms have
won the victory for him in the pop
ular mind.
Senator Tillman's brother, the late
George r. Tillman, was a congress-
man from the Second South Carolina
district. In the house he was known
as one of the most quiet and UnemO
tional men that ever sat in the body
During his service he seldom talked
and when he did he spoke simply and
to the point The name of TillmaI
was practically unknown until Sena
tor Tillman was elected governor O1
South Carolina in 1892. He celebrated
his election by forcing through the
legislature the dispensary liquor law
in that state.
Always interested in education, he
founded his second college in the
state after the Inauguration. The first
school established through his effort
was the Clemson Agricultural and Ne
chanical college at Calhoun's old
home, Fort Hill, S. c. The second
school is the Winthrop Normal and
Industrial College for Women at Rock
Hill
The successful canvass for the
gubernatorial chair encouraged Mr.
Tillman to try for the senatorial cleo
tion against Gen. Butler. The two men
Canvassed South Carolina county by
county, and Tillman won in the legis-
Iature with 131 votes against Gen
Buffers q. He took his seat in the
senate on March 4, 1895, and has been
reelected twice since. His term of
Office would expire in 1913 if he con.
tinued to serve.
In his career in the senate Mr.. Till
man has had a stormy time Always
ready with his voice to attack or de-
fend as the mood was, he got into a
wordy war with Senator McLaurin of
his state over new brand of Demo
cracy which Tillman preached in
South Carolina as commercial De
mocracy." McLaurin dubbed it plain
Republicanism. The two senators
cIashed over some trivial matter in
the senate chamber and were soon
pummelling each other like school
boys.
Senator Tillman suffered the worst
slight of his career after this fracas.
President Roosevelt had invited him.
along with the other members of the
foreign relations committee, to dine
with him when Prince Henry of Prus,
sia was the guest of honor When the
president heard of the fight in the
senate chamber he recalled the invita-,
ton to Mr. Tillman. The senator
never has forgotten the snub and IN
til President Taft occupied the White
House never entered the White House
grounds.
His fight with Roosevelt was long.
The president scored in the last en-
counter when he replied to Tillman's
criticism of his secret service policy
by publishing letters which tended to
show that Senator Tillman was inter.
ested in a land deal in the west whose
interests we're being furthered by his
activity as a senator.
