FROM COAST TO COAST.

SPOKANE. Wash, July 6.-Wil- |
liam A. Monten of Spokane has started |
a personal canvass to secure 1000 sig |
natures, representing 80 per cent of
the number of qualified electors vot-
ing, to a petition calling a special cleo
ton for October 5, to decide whether
or not the sale of intoxicating liquors
shall continue in Spokane. The city
will be voted on as unit and it is
likely that a special vote will also be
taken in the county.
There will be a convention of rep
resentative men of 10 counties in east
ern Washington in Spokane about the
middle of July" said Mr.. Monten, "and
at this time it is probable that plans
will be outlined to make fight
throughout the state of Washington in
the interest of local option. We look
to the churches to poin us in the move
ment and the Fourth of July should
see the campaign well under way. We
expect to win hands down.
Il desire to say at the outset that
my interest in this campaign is not in
any way intended to discredit the ad-
ministration of Mayor Nelson E. Pratt
for if ever Spokane had capable,
fearless and outspoken chief executive
it has an official in him. He has en-
forced the law as far as he was in
position to do, but the persistent re-
fusal of the saloon forces to join in
an effort to uphold the law is mainly
responsible for making the saloon the
same old institution it has always
BEEN"
Officers and members of associa.
tions, composed of saloon and cafe
owners, declare they have nothing to
fear, for the reason they are obeying
the laws and are routing the disrepu-
able barrel house and ginneries, as
well as keeping women out of their
places. If the people decide that state
wide prohibition is desirable they will
abide by the result, they add, but local
option is an entirely different PROPOSE
tion and they will make fight on the
issue.

a DISAPPOINTING DECISION.

n The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission that it has no au-
thority to compel the railways TO grant
simple justice to Hattiesburg is very
disappointing, and seems to set at
naught faany of their former decisions.
AS a matter of fact. however, the de-
cision was not unlocked for, as the
s disposition of certain member OF the
commission to divert testimony from
the real question at issue was very
noticeable. The decision leaves no
hope for any relief from the commits
sion or the courts, but it may be no.
ticed that the commission did say that
the railways might grant us the relief
we want if they choose to do so. Or
course the commission did not tell us
anything along this line that we dld
not already know but it is well to re-
member it, for Hattiesburg must be
placed on an equality with the other
cities of the group to which we nat
urally belong. This is simple justice
and we CAN secure it in some manner,
though it is not quite plain just how
will be the best means 'of securing
our own rights.
There are two plans which appeal
to the News, and both worked togeth-
er, if possible, may be the best. First
our merchants should divert every
pound of their freight to one road.
If you can't route it over the line you
want to, because the shipper is not
located right, then buy of some one
who can route it right. The situation
in Hsttiesburg is almost unbearaole'
and we have come to the point now
where we must fight, and let 1t De
with the knife and that instrument TO
the hilt. The railways of this coun-
try are ever ready to set up the cry
of ruination to their interests, when
there is danger of unfavorable ruling

WOULD MAKE BUTTER CHEAPER
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Secretary MacVeagh may ask con-
gress to put uniform tax of 2 cents
a pound on oleomargerine. The un-
colored pays a quarter of cent and
the colored 10 cents. Ills reasons are
that the government would get more
revenue. The 10 cent tax is so high
tha unscrupulous men are continually
evading it. They buy the uncolored
stuff, give it an attractive yellow hue,
and sell it at great profit for first
class butter. The special agents OF
the internal revenue bureau are always
on the lookout for them and eaten
some, but there is so much money in
the business that others take thei:
place. With a cent tax the incen-
tive to fraud would largely disappear.
The consumption of colored oleo,
known to be such, would be increase1
the consumption of oleo which the
buyers are duped into believing is
butter would be decreased.
The government assuredly would ne

would be affected. The price of brt-
ter is so high now as to insure sub

If a larger quantity of colored oleo-
margarine were put on the market. But
i is doubtful if the dairymen can be
made to see this. After protracted
light they succeeded in getting the leg
station which they believed would put
IN end to oleomargarine competition.

to hold on to this protec

to Philadelphia he fad run short OF
ready money, and as there might be
some difficulty in cashing check
where he was not well known he
asked that the friend telegraph sum
of money at once.
The friend though that he recog-

phone and was about to telegraph the
amount of cash asked for when be
met another friend of DR.. Norman,
who informed him that the doctor had

On the other hand, 1t is equally I'M
disputed that in all matters pertaining

practically nothing. They have stood

Sanized in all that pertains to their
