TAINTED MONEY,

Whoever coined that expression
made a misapplication OF the term.
the proper application of it is rep
resented by some $500 which now re-
poses in the city treasury, taken in
fines during the last two days from
20 women. habitues Of the under
world.
There are certain individuals in
the world who have the form and the
appearance Of men. but who are I'M
fit to associate with beasts, who
neither toll nor spin. but exist from
the earnings of these creatures. AS
fast as these are found they are driv-
en- out. and it is right. There should
be no mercy on earth or in hell for
a man of that character
However. when the city raids these
resorts a great rejoicing is made over
the addition of few shekels to the
public purse Why is the city not a
partner to as great crime when it
accepts this money as is the man who
in the popular mind has sunk to the
deepest depths of human degrade
ton?
1t is said, with some degree of
truth. that these resorts are the hid
ing place Of criminals and that extra
police precautions are Necessary. IF
this is true, then let the amount Of
the fines be sufficient only to defray
the cost of the police protection;
there is no argument in law or JUS
tice for single cent of profit from
such source.
One thing is sure, if these women
have right to remain in existence,
they have a right to be left unmolest-
ed. If anyone thinks that there is
1ny g'amor of wealth or splendor. or
that there is anything in their lives
that can appeal with any force to
mankind in its right mind, then he
IS sadly mistaken. Their life is as
a Pickering candle fast burning itself
out, depraved in mind and diseased
in body, subject of the most abject
pity of which the human emotions
are capable.
The solution of the social evil, So
called, has never yet been discovered.
In view of this fact it would hardly
be wise for the Herald to put forward
any makeshift now. although in a
doubt but that this class of women
could be driven from the city and
kept away. In a larger community
it might not be so easy. but there is
no doubt that it could be done here.
However, if they are to remain,
their existence is known, they are
known to the members of the police
force, and being known and being al
lowed to remain. there should be no
disposition to extract their blood
money through the ill-concealed
guise of occasional fines. after being
paraded into court of justice, in
this case made over into a court of
injustice. If such institutions are
going to exist, call spade a spade
and have done with it. If they are
not going to exist, get rid of them
But if they are allowed at all, they
are entitled to as square a deal as
anyone else.

MUST BE SETTLED RIGHT.

That some other disposition of
North Yakima's sewage must be de-
vised, has been known for some time
1t may be that the technicalities of
the law will permit of refuge for
the present, but the question will come
up and then pop up again until the
thing is finally settled and settled
right.
The people of the lower valley can
not be greatly blamed if they protest
against the dumping of the sewage
into the river, because at low water
all of the available river supply is
taken up by the Sunnyside project
and is sent through the irrigation ca
mails upon which the people of the
lower valley depend for their drink
ing supply. They are at the mercy
of the upper valley in this particular
and, of course, attribute their sick
ness to this source.
This is a matter that affects the
public health. a question of humanity,
and should be considered along hui
manitarian lines. The case is hard
~ a parallel of the Chicago-St. Louis
case because neither one of these
cities is in any sense dependent on
the other.
In the Yakima valley the situation

BOOSTERISM AND SANITY.

The term booster" in the common
mind has degenerated, and to the
average individual has come to mean
something akin to 'rah. rah" college
boys with long coats and rolled up
trousers.
However, call it the Yakima spirit
or civic and community pride or any
other name that suits the individual
taste, there is a place for such an
entity and no matter where or under
what conditions. always a pressing
and an urgent need for it. That is
what makes western towns awake,
alive and ready for the fray, while
eastern towns get into rut and
rumble along in the same old grind
year in and year out, and nothing
short of a national call to arms will
rouse them from their lethargy.

Pres. Thornburgh's Statement.

The above statement as to MT. Tabor S resignation is fully corrob- orated by Pres. Thornburgh, who in published interview says in part:
 Tn the early part of November last, MT. Tabor came to me and said he had understood there were rumors of improper conduct con- cerning him, and to relieve the Anti Saloon League from any en- barrassment he rendered his resig- nation as state superintendent of the league.
 "A meeting of the executive committee was called and the res ignation was accepted at once, but in order that the business might be properly closed up he was to con- tirue to work until December 3I, when the resignation would take effect, which 1t did.
 "Mr. Tabor made a full report of the transactions, financial and otherwise, to the entire satisfaction of the executive committee.
 "The report that the board called a detective to watch MT. Tabor or investigate his conduct, is not cor rect. The board did not take any such steps in the matter, in fact, had no occasion to do so, as MT. Tabor voluntarily rendered his res ignation, and without rendering any decision as to the truth or falsity of the reports we accepted his resignation, which ended the matter so far as the league was concerned.

HI. HARROD MAY BE NAMED
Former Conway Attorney May Succeed
 Senator Oldham of Pulaski.

Little Rock, Jan. 12.-Special. - Senator Kie Oldham of Pulaski was the absent senator at the open ing of the clau yesterday. He is in Arizona for his health, and 1t is now a surety he will not be back before the adjournment of the sen ate. When Governor Donaghey takes the oath of office his reslgna- tion will be read before the senate and successor appointed by the new chief executive. There IS much speculation here as to who will be the successor, number ln- timating J. H. Harrod, one of the leading members of the Little Rock bar, and life long friend and cam paign worker of Gov. Donaghey, will be prevailed upon to accept the office.

i Little Rock Democrat, Rev. E.. A. Tabor, whose resignation as super intendent of the Anti Saloon League was accepted January 7, emphatically denies that he has been guilty of the use of intoxicants and also that his resignation was requested by the executive board. His statement as to the resignation is corroborated by President George Thornburgh of the league, who comments MT. Tabor's work ill be- half of prohibition.
 "There is nothing in such charg- es, said MT. Tabor, and say to you now that any report that l have been using intoxicants in the way of dissipation are positively untrue. "
 MT. Tabor states that the pub lished report that charges" were filed with the board against him that the board refused to accept his explanation, and that his resig- nation was requested is untrue Ill every particular. He says:
 The facts are, that early in Mo- vember, hearing of certain charges being circulated against me in an evident spirit of malice, I sought MT. Thornburgh, as president of the league, and told him that while in my own conscience 1 had been guilty of no moral wrong, yet l was sure that it would hurt the league, and therefore had come to tender my resignation-and that this resignation was absolute.
 "He called the committee to- gether and they accepted the same on the condition that it should not take effect until Dec. 3I, un- der which resolution I continued the service until January I.
 "On January 7 the board simply met to examine my report, and in the kindliest spirit of mutual con- fdence, we parted as to official re- lations.
 My personal interest and coop eration in the great temperance battle will in no way be abated by this action. 1 am not "qultter. " I shall spend the next few months in earnest personal help to bring about the ultimate end for which 1 have been battling for the past ten years, viz: state wide prohibition. "

BAILEY CASE
 IS REVERSED
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

The supreme court on yesterday handed down an opinion in the suit of J. I. Case Threshing Ma chine Company vs. J. C. Bailey and B. D. Woodward, an appe al from the Faulkner chancery court, holding that the decision of the lower court in this case was erro neous, and reversing the case with directions to enter decree for the plaintiff.
 This suit grew out of the pur chase of traction engine by Bailey and Woodward from the threshing machine company. Up on suit being brought by the com- pany to collect the notes given for the purchase money of the engine 1t was claimed by the defendants tat they were defrauded into pur- chasing the engine by the false statements of the agents of the company, and that the engine was worn out, broken down and worth less. The chancellor found in ia vor of Bailey and Woodward, and rendered a decree cancelling the notes which they had given for the engine and also the mortgage securing same.
 Justice Battle rendered the Opin- ion of the supreme court, holding that the defendants had accepted the machinery, and having bought same under a contract which spe- officially stated that it was second hand machinery and not warranted, they could not now complain of the condition of the engine.
 Bailey and Woodward were rep resented by G. w. and J. C. Clark, and the threshing machine con- pany by Frauenthal & Robins.

At noon the members of the senate and house filed into the dingy old halls of the state house, and listened to the roll call. The legislature of 1909 was then i'll session, with the representation a more dignifed appearing body than has graced the hall in former years.
 X. O. Pindall, as acting govern or, called the senate to order. After a prayer the roll was called and every member answered to his name. After a few words Presi- dent pro tenn, X. O. Pindall an- nounced balloting on the President would be in order. Jess M. Mar tin of Pope county was nominated, and having no opposition, received the full vote of the senate. George Trevathan was elected secretary without opposition and W.R. Rod Kelly was chosen as sergeant-at- arms.
 In the house 1t was practically the same story. Few absentees failed to reply to the call of the roll. Oscar H. Vim, as by pre- vious arrangement, made a rousing speech in which he nominated L. B. Leigh of Pulaski county as temporary speaker. There was no opposition and when Representa- tive Leigh took the chair he inn mediately took up the question of the election of a speaker. C. P. Newton of Lonoke made a speech offering the name of Epps Brown for speaker. The nominations were closed and he became speak CT by exclamation.
 Until late yesterday afternoon it seemed as though A. C. Martin ot Yell county the lone candidate op- posing F. E. Brown of Prairie county for speaker, was to remain in the race to the end, but caucas was held in his headquart- CTS at 5 o'clock and an hour later it had been voted to surrender ln flavor of Epps Brown. A commit tee promptly visited the head quarters of Representative Brown and conveyed to him the sentiment of the caucus, A, C. Martin ex- pressing congratulations for his victorious rival.
 With no contest, save for the smaller offices, considerable of the attractions of other opening ses- sions of the legislature were remov- ed, but every legislator. praised the caucusing plan which was used in the organization of both houses, which removed the contests and saved the state so much i'll time and expense. The old building was we'll crowded for the opening ses- sion however, and will be every day during the session of the leg islature.
