End Of Club Sale
in Sight

! This week will probably see the
end of the great Piano Club sale.
Time is of importance to you now
If you wish to take advantage of
the Club prices and terms.
Even though the life of this sale
has been short, it's influence upon
our business will go on for years.
Those who have purchased pianos
from our magnificent line of high
grade, world renowned makes will
always be pleased with them in
fact, they will learn to love them
more and more as their beautiful
musical and lasting qualities be-
come known and familiar to them.
They will also remember the low
price at which they secured them
and thus we will have living and
lasting advertisement in each pur-
chaser.
Surely every reader of this paper
has been reading at least some Of
our Club Sale advertisements. You
no doubt were impressed with the
low prices quoted and the easy
terms offered. If you really want
piano and have not been per
suaded to come in, it is because
you do not realize the values and
the instruments that these prices
represent. Suppose you drop in to-
morrow and see them whether you
wish to buy or not. Our statesmen
are always courteous to visitors as
well as prospective purchasers.
Oftentimes one is kept from
coming in to inspect the instru-
ments by fear of being annoyed
by over-solicitious statesmen. We
Just want you to meet us and get
acquainted with our organization.
With our Pianola department our
splendid line of pianos and talking
machine parlors we could easily
entertain you for two hours with
out your becoming tired. BY the
way, we have some splendid bar
gains in all departments to offer
this week-even the sheet music
department is selling sheet music
of the latest at 15c and 20c. Then,
the new Victor records are in for
May and you would do we'll to
hear some of the latest hits sung
by famous artists
But, don't forget the Club Sale
there is still a chance for you to
save $50 to $3.50 by joining with
this throng of purchasers in whole
sale buying. Don't worry about
the terms-you can pay as little as
6 per cent down and monthly pay
ments of $500 or more.
Remember the place-there is no
other like it in the northwest
none so good as Eilers Piano
House, corner Sprague and Post,
Spokane, Washington.

SCHADE TAKES SHOT

Editor The Press: Although |

statements relative to the issue of
the campaign, desire at this time
to avail myself of the opportunity
that you have extended to others
to state
Il am not in the liquor business
nor brewing business, as has fire.
quently charged by that assassin
ator of character, The Spokesman
Review. l do not intend to vote
for Mr.. Pratt, because l do not
consider him a bona fide democrat.
| have the same right to my opin-
ion as the honorable julius Brutus
Nash, the virtuOus Russell F. Col
Inns and that remarkable political
statician, K. o. Connor. If Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson
could be made aware of the exist
ing conditions in Spokane demo-
cratic circles, and could hear these
would-be leaders, expound demo-
cratic doctrine according to their
Interpretation, they would turn
around in their graves with dis
may.
In regard to the alleged illegal
registration, or, ! should honestly
say, the absence of some of the
yOtpr from, tbor; bop,oc -, tlo Co.
ond ward permit me to call your
attention to the following figures:
ONO received in the recent pri-
mary, in this ward, 1896 votes;
Fassett, 453: Hinkle, 1877: Hutchin-
son, 307, total of only 1888 votes
out of a total registration of 3142.
showing that 1909 did not vote
even in the primary election.
Now if the alleged lower class
(and it is indeed pity to think
that in this great republic we are
to emulate the example of mon
arches and speak of classes) were
so anxious to espouse the cause of
ONO, why was it that not more
voted in the priarmy Simply be-
cause they did not take sufficient
interest, as most of them are work
ing men and have to hustle hard
for living. The attack which has
been made upon the voters in this
ward for the purpose of intimida-
ton is an outrage. Furthermore.
the result of the primary election
clearly shows that if the entire
vote cast for both ONO and Fas-
sett were thrown out Mr.. ONO
would still have been the victor by
926 votes.
What have those alleged Chris;

teaches good will, charity and

DO LAND THIEVES GET
ANOTHER GRAB?

Meantime" said I, executive,
orders looking to their conserva-
ton will be suspended?
To this the secretary replied in
the affirmative.
This is the milk in the cocoanut.
1t was on that point that Score
tary Ballinger split with Secretary
Garfield. The original disagree
ment took plate when Mr. Ballinger
was commissioner of the land office
and Garfield was secretary of the
interior. Mr., Ballinger claimed
that there was no authority in law
for the action taken by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield,
in the withdrawal of public lands
valuable. for power site purposes,
and for other reasons.
President Roosevelt said he
would take a chance on the law,
So he withdrew the lands and ask
ed congress for law to govern
their ultimate disposition.
Congress failed to act.
1t is a habit which congress has.
Under Roosevelt'S policies lands
were withdrawn and examined aft
erwards.
Under the present policies such
lands are restored and an eXami-
nation ordered.
Under the previous administra-
ton the public wealth was put be-
yond the reach of predatory inter
ests pending legislation at the
hands of congress.
Under the present administration
the public wealth is restored to the
reach of the predatory interests,
pending legislation at the hands of
congress.
Under the previous administra-
ton any doubt as to the power of
the chief executive to make with
drawals of public lands was resoIv-
ed in favor of the people.
Under the present administration
any doubt as to the right of the
president of the United States to
make executive orders Withdrawing
public lands, is resolved in favor of
the doubt-that is in favor of the
predatory interests.
The previous administration had
high regard for the public's inter
ests in seeing that the public do
main be conserved.
The present administration has a
high regard for the technicalities of
law
The previous administration was
bitterly condemned by railroad cor
porations. corporate land thieves,
and members of congress who rep
resented interests of this character.
The present administration is
cordially Endorsed by these same
people.

That is, he chases the members

And when the house rules are in

New Ugh on strauss.
Irene Sander Interpreted a Strauss waltz
in a way that put that composers music
in an entirely new light before the public.
There has always been an impression that
Strauss represented, II his music repre-
scented anything at all, the abandon and
enthusiasm of the dance. Miss Sander,
however, had other ideas Of the music
and meandered through roses from the
South" with as much elaboration as II
she were at the village cemetery on Deco
ration day. She scattered her flowers
about and picked them UP again. always
in the same s~elf-contained manner.
Rameau and Durand are interpreted more
agreeably for an audience much less
familiar with the musoc of those ancient
familiar with the music of those an
clients and naturally with no such deep con-
viction as to what their music stands for,
Some wonderful iennese dancers of these
waltzes have appeared in Paris and Lon
don and their success has been won
through the fire and abandon which they
wove through this music. Miss Sander is
not of this kind.

TOM JOHNSON'S PLAN WINS
.Three-Cent Fares Are n Reality in
Cleveland Under the ADJUST
ment.

AS the result of Judge Tayler's appraisal
OF the street car property in Celevland the
people Of that city will get Scent fares.
with an additional cent for transfers until
experience shall demonstrate that this will
not pay expenses and 6 per cent on the
investment, In which case the fares will be
raised to 4 cents, with an additional cent
for transfers, but with seven tickets for
% cents. Judge Tayler's appraisal is a
little lower than the valuation agreed on
some time ago by the representatives OF
the city and the company.
A great and substantial victory has been
won by Mayor Johnson. For nine years,
as mayor, he has commended for Scent fare
and now, as he is about to retire, he sees
the realization. Undoubtedly some features
of the ordinance are not wholly to his
liking. and It is equally probable that the
traction company is not entirely pleased.
But both sides are immens gamers. The
mayor has established a principle for which
he has worked patiently and indefatigably.
The traction company gets a renewal of
franchises and an assurance of Just profit.
Mr.. johnson annot ask, for the car
riders, a rate Of fare so low as not to pro-
vide adequate and satisfactory service. He
has consistently stood for Scent fare, and
now he is assured OF scent fare for a time,
OF permanent scent fare II this rate can,
with proper management. give the de-
manded service and the just s per cent
return to the stockholders. Even such de-
tails as the installation Of pay-enter cars
are provided for In the ordinance. so that
It may be assured that there can be no
waste In operation The mayor aud the

the secret of another's success they are
sworn enemies and rivals from that time
on. It is very rarely that when two share
a valuable trade secret they are wise
enough to come to terms and work to-
gether.
Probably the most remarkable instance
of this kind was the secret of the So
called squeezer mark on the edges of
playing cards. One manufacturer con-
trolled the patent that was supposed to
protect this device. A rival manufacturer
accidentally discovered that this patent
would not stand investigation.
Instead of acting on his knowledge and
going to court to defend himself, which
would throw the secret open to the whole
trade, he arranged quietly with his rival
to patent q similar device, to be called
down on It, and to agree to pay a royalty
for the use of the original patent. This
agreement was paraded before the rest of
the trade, who argued that IL such a big
house as tina had to pay a royalty, the
patent must be o. X.
Their requests for licenses were re-
fused, and the two big houses made all
the squeezer marked cards in the world
for years. or course no royalty was ever
paid, and the secret was so well kept that
it made fortunes for both houses.
Many Private Processes.
In many large manufacturing concerns
there are departments which are set apart
for processes more or less secret, and
these special shops and offices are guarded
with the greatest care. The secrets of
these departments rivals would give many
thousands of dollars to learn and they are
continually laying seige to them with the
aid Of men who are trained to the business
of ferreting them out.
