PROHIBITS LIQUOR
AND THUS PREVENTS RIOTS
This, Says Rev. AdoIph Hult, H. why
h Swedish strike Had No
Violence.

The great Swedish ~workingmen's strike,
which was lost, as, Of course, everybody
knows, was remarkable for the absence Of
violence said Rev. Adolph HUT. pastor
of the Emmanuel Lutheran church. who
has just returned from a European tour.
This was attributed to the fact that as
soon as it became apparent the strike was
to come the king issued an order against
the sale of liquors. In Europe, unlike some
portions Of the United States, they enforce
the laws. It was decidedly a dry strike.
l was in Sweden when it was at its
height"
Mr.. HUT, accompanied by Mrs. HUT. de-
parted on their trip abroad on May 9. They
visited points of historical interest In all
Of the principal European countries, maxi
ing a circuit south to Italy from London.
I'VE found Rome Of perhaps the greatest
interest" said Mr.. HUT. Rome lie a won
derfully modern city. despite all the his
tory and tradition that clings about it. 1t
presents a peculiar combination"
Mr., and Mrs. HUT were met at the depot
on their arrival by a party of the officers
of the Emmanuel church. Mr.. HUT will oc-
cupy the pulpit again on Sunday.

That night Mrs. Bruce told Mr.. Bruce

These passes were found with Mr..

CHICAGO HAS
AP0L0CIzED

Walter D. Moody, general man.
ager of the Chicago Association of
Commerce, came all the way to
Spokane to apologize for the rude
remarks made if this city by Cor
respondent Little of the Record
Herald, who accompanied the re-
cnt business mems trip through the
west. He appeared before the
chamber of commerce today and
poured oil on the wounds. Little,
being possessed Of the notion still
prevalent in some corners of the
effete east that this. region con-
tanned savages principally, wrote in
what seemed to him a highly hui
morous and sarcastic vein. He
even impugned the Spokane dress
suit and pOked the usual gush of
what passes for eastern humor on
the west forth in colHmns.
1t was all so successfully funny
that it cost Chicago whole coun-
ties of commercial friendship and
considerable traffic. The city of
Everett, as an instance, became so
playfully interested in the joke that
it gleefully cut off all its Chicago
trade.
Mr.. Moody brought the informa-
ton that Little had been fired and
Chicago is duly sorry.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-07-20
KIDS TIN STAR GET
THEM INTO TROUBL E

With great big glimmering Stars
Just like the cops wear, onIy-they
had six corners instead of five
making them look more dignified
and Notwithstanding like
that of teh police captain OF the
chief-two messenger boys were
captured this morning. The police
have tried time and again to elm
mate the manufacture of badges
after the fashion of police stars,
but ever SO often the kids get a
star wearing craze and they can
always get them made at the stamp
works, provided they have the
price to pay for them.
There is altogether too much
temptation to impersonate an Off
Ger, for man or even a boy who
has a star pinned on him, accord
ing to the opinions of thoughtful
heads of the police department.
Then, too, it's good for the police
to be allowed to have something
about their apparel that is exclu-
sive, and the star and helmet Is
about the only thing that they can
come anywhere near keeping ex-
cluisve.
Trouble over the wearing of
stars has become so frequent in
Spokane that it is likely than an
attempt will be made to have a
state law passed prohibiting stamp
manufacturers from turning out
star shaped badges to anyone with
out permission of the proper au-
thorities. In some of the stamp
works, exact duplicates of the regu-
lation police star worn in Spokane
with Spokane Police" and the
number all there have been turned
out.
In the past it has been a common
practice to arrest parties wearing
stars, on charges of impersonating
an officer, and on this charge the
police haev been quite successful.
though there is no law particularly
against wearing a star, just so it
isn't represented to be police
badge.
