Wanted: A Name for
Ballinger's Alleged Acts!


who is IN Spokane says Golfers that he did not
to President Taft charge Secretary Banger (who
to have them paened) with crminalitv does
he charge him
This is good We hope Balingers acts will turn out
innocent and we hate to see charges made reckless
of Balingers granting to Hill and Hartman 100000
horsepower in the Des Chutes river canyon well of
the other power and coal land grabs says that he does not
charge Balnger with corruption. This good Such
charges ought not to be made lightly, and will not be by
good citizens or decent publications.
However:
If Ballnger tried to get the Cunningham coal claims
worth more than be computed allowed by the
land department of which he was commissioner;
If Bainger such commissioner went to congress ask
ing bill to be passed validating these claims when he
knew them to be syndcated contrary to law and raudu
lent from their ncepon;
If Ballinger while commissioner secretary, leaked
department secrets to the claimants so that they could
know the governments case and meet it,
Elf Balnger resigned the commissonerslp under such
circumstances and in spite of law forblddng it, became
attorney for these fraudulent claims before the depart
ment in which he had just been high officer, pre-
sumably in spite of what Mr. Taft says, taking with him
secrets of the government with reference to the frauds;
IT, after this, during the campaign between Bryan and
Taft, Frank Hitchcock promised the Balnger crowd in
Seattle that they could have cabinet place if the state
went for Taft and he elected;
If they then demanded the secretaryshp Of the interior

Others of coal OF power OF the riches OF the public domain
for this attorney of the land thieves, this oddly friendly

him;

If Ballnger did these things, what to call his
acts!
If they not corrupt acts, what shall we term them?
If they were done by your city councimen with reference
to lands of the city, city contracts city affairs
what would you call them. Come now! We are interest
ed in this English language which we have to day by
day-and we want the word that will describe Ballngers
acts if all these things with which he charged are true
And we want it ''bad!'

Samose Sold Undera "No Cure No
Pay" Plan"
There are a good many people in
Spokane who ardently wish they
could find some way Of getting fat
and plump. While not i'll, yet they
are so thin and scrawny that their
friends think they cannot be we'll.
In nine cases out of 70 this condi-
ton can be readily overcome by
using the combination of flesh-form-
ing foods known as Samose. This
little tablet taken three times a
day with the food does wonders in
building up good health and restor
ing the pleasing plumpness that is
so desirable. *@
Before the discovery of Samose,
people who were thin, weak and run
down were advised to take some
nauseous preparation of cod liver
oil, but now with this flesh form
ing food in palatable form nothing
at all disagreeable is necessary to
gain weight.
Murgittroydt's is the agency for
this preparation and sells it with
the promise that if it does not do
all that is claimed for it in making
people gain in weight and in health
the money will be refunded.

THE CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT.

and every child should become imbued with it,
The chief thing about Christmas is not the giving and
receiving of presents attending Christmas services at
churches, sitting at tables loaded With all of
delicious things to consume. The chief thing about the
greatest day in the year is the opportunity it affords to
develop the Chrstnas spirit The beauty of this spirit
overfows that day and shnes-or ought to shine
through many days thereafter.
No man has been able quite to approach Charles Dickens

This week has been a red letter s ason
on the local club calendar. Occasions have
been few when so many we'll known club
women have assembled here and the in
spiration to clubdom has been In proper
ton. The meeting Of the executive board of
the state federation Monday evening was
one OF the most important that body will
hold this year. The conference Tuesday
morning under the auspices OF the Corn
exposition was not only an innovation In
the way OF exposition programs, but
brought five state federation presidents and
all the district vice presidents OF at least
one state into touch with one OF the great
est opportunities for serious work open to
women today. 1t was the first definite
effort to bring the real social needs CT
the rural communities to the attention Of
organizations peculiarly fitted to meet
them. Modern machinery and science are
rapidly relieving the farm OF It's hardest
work, but the monotony of the country
life still remains In spite Of the tele-
phone, the automobile, the rural mail de-
livery and other convenisnces that have
come with the past decade. Because the
club women. particularly In the smaller
towns. themselves retired farmers wives,
have met this problem and have undeniably

than anyone else. are in a position TO help
the women OF the farms solve Il there.
Organization is the solution. but while the
women Of the farms lack nothing of the
culture, the education or the ability TO
meet any and all OF their problems, they
do lack the experience that will enable
them to get together and work together.
Simple though 1t SENS, It Is not simple, and
the women OF the cities and the towns have
only learned to work in organizations
through half a century OF experience and
they have only within the last ten years
learned how much they may accomplish
or how to best direct their energies. The
district federation and through It the coun-
try woman's club Is no longer a novelty;
1t has already proven a wonderful leayen.
but there is still much to be accomplished
and as the city club has worked all along
the social line, so the women OF the farms
who are qualified have the same work
to do.
