FRIDAY. NAY L. 1904
ROOSEYELT's JUNGLE ADVEN-
TURES.

Reports from the jungle continue
to indicate that Colonel Roosevelt,
late president OF the United States
and founder Of the Ananias club, is
working great havoc among the wild
beasts OF the East African protecto-
rate, and il this slaughter goes on
much longer the government will
have to raise the limit or put an
embargo upon him.
According TO the latest returns he
has killed half dozen lions and has
now brought down a ferocious
rhinoceros, who was charging full
tilt upon him. His trusty rife
brought down the animal when 1t
was within fifteen feet-or yards, or
something like that-of the distin-
guished hunter. and the world trem-
bIes TO think what would have been
the consequence if that rife had
failed to fire.
An interesting question arises in
mis- connection. OF course. the out
side world accepts in good faith the
reports that are emanating from the
Jungle. No one doubts the six lions
nor the bull rhinoeeros. And yet
this is what the former president
gave out when he was leaving for the
Jungle:

NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
BY Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 12.-Sena-
tor Adrich is confident that the tariff
bill, as reported by the senate finance
committee, win pass. He claims to
have counted noses, and knows whereof
he speaks His belated assurance about
the ultimate passage of the bill is con-
firmatory of the dissention in the ranks
of the Republican party; it is an admls-
sion of a condition which many stalwart
Republicans were slow to concede.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Aldrich is correct IN
the prediction that the bill will pass the
senate, though there is still a deal OF
doubt as to whether all of the commit
tee amendments will be accepted; then
too, there is much speculation about the
income tax amendment Aldrich mas
been careful to make no prediction as
to this measure, although he is probably
Informing himself as to its chances.
But the most important omission IN
Aldrich's statement is the probable date
of the passage of the bill. How soon VIII
1t become a law? That's the all-disturo-
ing question just now. Aldrich doesn [
say, but others supposed to be in the
know are now predicting that 1t Will
be August LIST, before the two houses
agree.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 10.-The At
lanta Journal-New York Herald road
building contest has no more ardent SYM
pathizers than Senators John Walter
Smith. of Maryland, and Lee S. Overman,
of North Carolina. They realize and ap-
preciate the manifold advantages of the
good roads, and they believe that the pro-
posed contest will have a tendency to
stimulate interest in road construction.
Maryland and North Carolina counties
will compete for the prizes that have been
offered by The Journal and the Herald,
and Senators Smith and Overman under
stand that their respective states are in
line for immediate benefits as a result of
the contest.
The economic value of good roads is
becoming more and more appreciated"
said Senator Smith today, "and / note
with pleasure that many states are taking
lively interest in the Improvement of
their public highways. l believe the con-
test arranged by The Atlanta Journal and
New York Herald will have a tendency
to increase the already growing interest.
| The contest presents a novel plan for
interesting the counties, and l sincerely
| hope that the general effects will be as
| beneficial as l firmly believe they will.
THE Maryland legislature al it's last
session appropriated five million dollars
for road improvement, and the people all
| over the state are interested in the ques-
ton, which they recognize as of primary
Importance to the development and pros
perity of the country. The money will
be expended under the direction of COM
mission, in each county in proportion to
| the miles of road. My confidence in the
wisdom of the Legislature in this respect
| is such that 1 anticipate that when the
present appropriation of ive million has
been expended another like amount will
be appropriated.

Are in no Hurry

Are in no Hurry
Cummins, LaFollette. Nelson, Dolliver
and two or three other middle western
Republicans are going to vote for the
bill all right enough, but they are IN
no hurry about it. They propose TO hght
for amendments all along the line, and
even though they don't succeed they
will delay the passage of the bill. BIS
tow of Kansas should also be named
in this connection. He is one of the very
great DIRECTORS.
Both Cummins and Bristow are new
men, and the older senator's rather re-
sent the prominence they are claiming
and to disinterested observers, they are
tiresome, Cummings especially so. He is
too STACEY, too dramatic, evidently too
much impressed with himself to please
the galleries. Moreover, he is not so Wen
informed. He understands his subjects

But Cummins is part of the show-a
big part too. He is in the ring gooo
deal of the time, on his feet; also ne is
a part of the program of the progress
ives. His participation in the debate
over every schedule is in the general
plan of delay, delay, be it understood, be-
ing the only chance the progressives have
to force any concessions from Aldrich'
who is handicapped by his desire to pass
the bill as speedily as possible.

The Healing
Power of Pine

If you have ever taken a walk
through forest of pine trees you
will remember how, almost uncon.
sciously, the head was thrown back
and lungs expanded as you inhaled
with long, deep breaths the glori-
Gus pine-laden air. How invigor.
ating it was-how healing.
The medicinal virtues of pine
have been recognized in medical
practice for many years, For
coughs and cold the mixture of
two ounces of Glycerine with a
half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure and eight ounces of
pure Whisky is highly recommend
ed. 1t is claimed that TEASPOON.

cigars smoked in the city, and
there are only 40 men of this occu-
patton here now. This number of
cigar makers would receive $780,
600 a year in wages alone, every
cent of which they declare would
be spent here for homes and living.
1t has long since been the con-
tention of organized labor, as we'll
as all other organizations with the
interests of Spokane at heart, that
the expenditure of money outside
the city places the money in the
hands of people who in no way help
the city and have no further inter
est in the place than the golden
harvest that comes from it's people,
who are non-patrons of home indus
try.
Regarding the quality of the to-
baccO and the workmanship on
cigars made in Spokane, cigarmak-
ers declare that the identical ma
terial used in eastern made goods
is used here. The tobacco market
is open. to the world, and they de-
clare no one has a monopoly on its
wares. The ~workmen employed
here have worked the world over.
hence it is declared there is nc
good reason existing why SPOKANE
smokers should not smoke SPOKANE
made cigars and thereby get thei
share of the resulting benefit back
through the regular channels of
trade.
Think it over, Mr. Smoker.

PLENTY BUT
~. SMOKE HOME GOODS

Do you know that 10000 cigars
are smoked in Spokane every day,
and that not 10 per cent of them
are made here?
Do you know that the dealers of
this city spend $4,000 a day for
these goods; that only 5000 of that
money stays here. and that the
other $500 goes east?
These are questions members of
the Cigar Makers union in Spokane
want smokers of cigars in Spokane
to consider. 1t is of vital impor-
tance to the union, and, once the
matter is properly considered, it is
believed that Spokane shall be
benefited to a greater extent than
that which concerns the makers of
phe cigars alone.
In a year nearly $750,O00 are ex-
pended by Spokane dealers in
cigars to furnish smokers with
cigars they smoke, and only mis-
erably small percentage of that
money remains in Spokane. Ac-
cording to the opinions of the Spo-
kane cigar makers, this Is because
the smokers have never given the
subject thought, and consequently
do not insist on getting a home
made cigar when they buy.
With the cooperation of the
smokers in their efforts to put
more Spokane goods on the local
market. the Cigar Makers union de-
clares it would take 200 cigar
makers to manufacture all the
