Editor The Press: Spokane, ow-
ing to the arbitrary manner in
which Mayor Pratt has interpreted
a city ordinance, occupies a Pc
culiar position.
The mayor recently issued an
ultimatum to the effect that certain
religious organizations shall be al
lowed to hold meetings on the
streets. but that all other organiza-
tons shall not be allowed this
right.
Why this distinction, a distinc'
ton so opposed to the spirit Of the
American constitution? Is freedom
of speech to be allowed to rengious
persons only? II so, who is to de-
eide when a person is religious
Mayor Pratt or the Salvation
Army? Further, can any valid rea
son be adduced why all organiza
lions alike, so long as they act in
CONFORMITY to law and reason
should not be allowed freedom OF
speech on the streets, or preferably
on some large open plot of ground
provided by the city for that pur

ways Usual PrOgram-AccommO-
dating Train Waits For Them.

Capt. John C. Cakes arrived last
night from Galveston, and was met
at the station by Louis CobOlini and
Secretary R. n. Magin. Captain
Cakes spent what remained of the
night after the arrival of the train
at the San Carlos Hotel.
This morning, accompanied by a
large crowd of men who are inter
ested in the deep waterways project,
Capt. Cakes took the train to Point
Isabel
A late breakfast and an inherent
disbelief in the inability of the mar
row-gauge road to adhere to its
time table almost caused John J.
Conway and B. F. Williams Of Mis-
sion to miss the train Their hack
pulled up at the station several min
utes after the engine had given the
usual preliminary snort and shiver,
and had started upon its uncertain
way to the coast. When they as
cended the platform the train was
fully one hundred yards down the
track. The engine, pumping prodi-
gious quantities of smoke from its
Anticipated stack, and slowly gath
ering speed was halted, and the be
lated ones climbed aboard
The trip down was not marked by
any special happenings of interest.
A slight rain which began to fall be
fore Isabel was reached, and the
brisk wind gave rise to the fear
that the sea might be rough and the
purpose of the journey defeated for
time.
The journey was enlivened by
the sweet strains of Mayor Combe's
full orchestra, consisting Of a VIC
lin and base drum.
The members of the party were
Capt. J. c. Cakes, Louis Cobolini,
Mayor F. J. Combe, A. A. Browne,
