COURT FUTURE Ma
|N-LAW
SALOON WRECkER HANDS OFT
NEW LINE OF PHILOSOPHY
WHILE IN WORKHOUSE AWAIT
ING TRIAL FOR LATEST ACT.

Washington Dec. 21.-"The first
thing a fellow ought TO do when ne
goes counting is to get line on his
future mother-in-law. because she's
going to be either his best friend or
his worst enemy.
1t was Carrie Nation who confidcd
this bit of philosophy to a reporter
recently
The enforced leisure of the Wash
ington workhouse, where she is held
pending hearing on charge Of de-
stroying property. has given Mrs.
ton from her pet theme, and it was
an off day for the demon rum as far
as she was concerned
Il am going to devote large par :
of my time hereafter to seeing that
mothers-in-law get the attention The"
ought TO have from the American neo-
pie. she said, warming to her theme.
why, a man ought to love his moth
er-in-law as much as he does his
wife, and if he does not its a sign
either that he's soaked all the de
cency out of him with whiskey or
burned it all ont with these fool Gig
arettes If man does not like the
mother of the girl he's going with
he better light out and book his
spare time somewhere else. because
its a sure thing that the girl will turn
out to be just like the. old lady.
This law of heredity that I've been
studying lately is a wonderful thing
Its the keynote of the whole matri-
mOnial problem. Now if a fellow
begins to think his girls mother is
pretty nice dispOsitiOned, he don't
need to look any farther than that
house for wife And after he gtes
married it's most likely that his
mOther-in-law will be willing to do
more for him than his wife will in
the way of cooking and econOmizing
and minding his children.
Mrs. Nation owns to 63 years, but
says she will fight to the death
against the demon rum. She has now
achieved the browning triumph of her
nine years crusade-the smashing of
the glass furnishings in the big union
station here. 1t is on this charge
that she was arrested
Mrs. Nation says her defense will
be that she has not destroyed private
property but a public nuisance. She
says she will take her case clear to
the supreme court of the United
States.
Carrie thinks that the country has
improved in the last three years
Taft amt my style she admitted,
but he's a whole lot better than Ted
dy Roosevelt. He's a we'll meaning
man and he don't drink, and though
| may have said at times that he was
chasing around the country eating a
whole lot more than is good for him,
| think he is better than anything in
the presidential line we've been get
ting lately"

EXCURSION
BUSINESS MEN WILL MAKE TRIP
THROUGH CENTRAL AMERICAN
JANUARY 6.

An excursion has been planned 10
leave Seattle on January 6, thence to
Vancouver, Victoria, and then south
as far as the Panama canal. The
steamer will stop at the above named
Canadian ports, at the leading Cali
fornia ports and at all of the leading
ports of interest along the Mexican
and Central American coast
The following letter from John
Barrett, director of the International
Bureau of American Republics, will
be of interest:

that you are planning a business
and commercial excursion to Mex
leo and Central America, by one Of
the steamers of your line, leaving
Seattle January 9Th. | write to eX-
press my qualification at this effort
! you are making to interest the rep
resentative business men of the Pa

| ing to the south of us and bordering
! on the Pacific ocean.
Ever since | took charge of the
International Bureau of American
! the development of closer relations
| of commerce and friendship among
| the American nations. have con
| tended that there was no great in
fluence for the building up of a
| large exchange of trade than travel
| back and forth between the United
| States and Latin America by repre-
sentative business men. Such inter
course permits an acquaintance with
conditions and develops such q
knowledge of what each country has
to sell and desires to purchase that
excellent results always follow.
The west coast of Mexico and
/ Central America is about entering
upon a great material and CONNER
cial development. The improvement
of steamship CONNECTIONS, the invcs; :
ment of foreign capital. the building
! of railways and the gradual evou-
ton of stable government, all point tC
an era of progress and opportuDit,
| which should be studied by the ex
porters and importers of our Pacific
coast states.
/ Even though the majority Of the
men who might go on an excursion
of this kind would not get direct bus
mess benefits, they would have ar
educational experience of such inter
est and enjoyment that they would
all be glad that they had made the
trip.
