BOSS WILL JUST ABOUT GET

Run through the lexicon Of base
ball excuses and get away some
how to see the opening game with
Aberdeen Saturday. There are
more things in that game than are
dreamed of in fan philosophy. UP
to this season Bob Brown was the
boss of those Black Cats, and un-
der him they carried away flag.
Brown has been the car of base
ball around Grays Harbor for
long.
Naturally the Cats are coming
over here with the idea that they'll
claw him good and plenty since he
quit the mudfiats for the country
where it's dry and clean under
foot. What they want to do most
of all is to. take the very first
game from the boss who used to
keep them in line. That would be

J BOOST FIRST FOR LABOR

| Mr.. F.. e. Goodall, Chairman
Greater Spokane Committee, Dear
Sir-Your favor of the 7th inst. Is
at hand requesting my subscription
of SIS to the publicity fund for the
benefit of the business interests OF
this city. AS l canont see my way
clear to comply with your request,
it is perhaps but fair that l give
you my reasons, or at least some
of them, for declining your request.
All prosperity is primarily found
ed upon labor, and your campaign,
|to be successful, must be directed
to the workingmen as well as to
the investing class, as no enter
prise, either commercial or manu-
featuring, can be carried on with
Tout labor's aid and cooperation.
Yet nowhere do / find in the pros
pectus of the work your committee
proposes to do, or in the record Of
what they have done, any consid-
Grafton given to the wishes and
needs of this class of desired i'm
migration whose welfare should be
your first thought, and to secure
which should your most strenuous
effort be directed. Unless the
wealth producers come to till your
fields. operate your factories, cut
your lumber, build and use your
railroads, and occupy your lodging
houses, as well as purchase the
goods SO temptingly displayed by
your merchantsh, all your efforts
will be in vain. Are any OF these
men and women on your commit
tee to represent this class, to voice
it's interests and make known its
needs? Is the business of wealth
accumulation more important than
wealth production? And if so, is
this reason that when a working

and those helpless men drawn to

to your police for protection, there
is no law, to your city council for

Let your committee use some Of
it's influence to right these wrongs;
to make Spokane the place where
the greatest opportunity is to be
found for wealth production. And
where it is not only produced, but
retained by labor.

eral jag, for Bob was something
of a citizen over there and they
probably won't ever overlook the
fact that he went away. After they
get that first game they'll be salts
fed with the series.
But Bob is wise to all this and
he's just as anxious to show where
he displayed wisdom in coming to
Spokane as Aberdeen is to prove
the contrary. Brown has a team
wherewith to show and he knows
how to handle 1t. AS matter of
reliable information. there isn't a
better team manager on the coast
than Spokane has just now And
you'll see him at his best when
he lines the tribe up against the
Cats Saturday.
The Idaho university team gives
the Indians a practice game this
afternoon and Thursday, and the
Spokane high school gets a tryOut

is no game for Friday, for that is

VALUE IN WELL TRAINED MIND
Has Effect Too Frequently Unapprs-
clated In Social and Domes-
tic Relations.

Men often realize that well-trained
MAMIE d great asset in business; yet
seldom do we see comment upon the
fact that 1t is also invaluable in so
cial and domestic relations. The
mind, after a certain stage is passed,
works automatically in kindness as
in calculation. 80
This is noticeable in the study of
pronounced characters. Men are en-
abled to act quickly in emergency only
by intuition; and it follows that when
man is habitually kind, or merciful,
or considerate, or all three, he will
be so In the crisis of his life.
Character is a matter of slow forma-
ton. In pronounced form 1t is rare.
The average is mixture of many
lines OF training; hence, Yacillation.
The more pronounced, the more force
full for certain effects.
II is in babyhood that the formation
begins, and in the earlier years are
laid bases which after effort may
never be able to remove. Environ
ment, of course, is one factor. The
child brought up in an atmosphere of
kindness, courtesy, mercy, generosity,
etc, is likely, although not certain. to
remain so.
In any event. the main thought is
that we too frequently forget that
trained minds have possibilities be-
yond money'making. The mind is
ever a tyrant The money-grubber
cannot reform after a certailD period;
and he who has reached 40 generous
will find difficulty in becoming a
miser even if so minded, when past
that period.

The answer to this can be supplied
Immediately by a comparison with the

Constantinople as the capital of the
east, and the eastern empires separ-
alton from Rome, are paralleled in
the story Of the American revolution.
We may look, then, for progressive
decline in the strength of England
in inverse ratio TO our own increas
ing power; Australia, already Ameri-
can in her political organization, will
gravitate, with Canada, into the union;
finally the English-speaking peoples
will be reunited under American aus
pices. That is as far as we can look
forward legitimately
America will be absorbed in the So
luton of her social problems. Democ-
racy, which has never really existed,
will be coming into its own; and with
its advent will disappear the comedy
of representative government which,
tried out through several centuries in
the classical world, and found want
Ing, is destined to receive its coup de
grace upon American soil.
The battle of socialism will be upon
us, to be solved. probably, after some
considerable bloodshed, by a sudden
illumination of common sense. The
loose, haphazsrd productive methods
Of today, and our costly and faulty
manner Of distribution. will have to be
organized. to prevent their complete
breaking down.
The solution of this tremendous
problem, which will be precipitated by
the sudden failure of foreign markets
when manufacturing and prohibitory
tariffs are universal In all countries,
will occupy our attention for at least
a century to come.
