LOCAL OPTION N
SPOKANE

Spokane, June 3o.-William A.
Monten of Spokane has started a
personal canvass to secure 5000 sig
natures, representing so per cent of
the number of qualified electors
voting, to petition calling spe-
cial election for October 5. to decide
whether or not the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors shall continue in Spo-
kane. The city will be voted on as
unit. and it is likely that special
vote will also be taken in the county.
There will be convention Of
representative men of 10 counties in
eastern Washington in Spokane
about the middle of July" said Mr..
Monten, land at this time it is prob
able that plans will be outlined to
make a fight throughout the state of
Washington in the interest of local
option. We look to the churches TO
join us in the movement and the
Fourth of July should see the cam
paign well under way We expect
to win out hands down.
II desire to say at the outset that
my interest in this campaign is not
in any way intended to discredit the
administration of Mayor Nelson S.
Pratt, for if ever Spokane had a
capable, fearless and outspoken chief
executive it has such an official in
him. He has enforced the law as
far as he was in a position to do,
but the persistent refusal of the sa-
loon 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-
tons. composed of saloon and cafe
owners. declare they have nothing to
fear. for the reason that they are
obeying the laws and are routing the
disreputable barrel houses and gin
neries. as well as keeping women
out of their places. If the people
decide that state wide prohibition is
desirable they will abide by the re-
suit, they add. but local option is an
entirely different proposition and
they will make a fight on the issue.

Buffalo will deal with Problems Of
Relief Growing Out of Great Disas-

especial attention has been given
among students of social problems and
workers in the tenement districts to
reforms pertaining to caring for de-
pendent children. to the betternent Of
conditions in congested districts and to
the opportunities for educating the
public along sociological lines by use
of the press. The conference at the
White House on the subject Of treat
ment of dependent children. called by
Mr.. Roosevelt. resulted in bringing to
light many new ideas on this theme.

which Robert A. Woods of South End

Legislature Fails TO Set Aside Horti-

Olympia, June 30.-After passing
a lengthy horticulture code the last
Legislature failed to provide an ap-
preparation TO pay the necessary trav-

put up the money, but the attorney
general ruled today this can not leg
ally be done and that the only cure
for the oversight is a new bill appro-

"HE past year has been an un-

"HE past year has been an un-
usually important and fruitful
one in the work of the char
liable and philanthropic socie-
ties throughout the country. and the
progress toward more effective and
scientific treatment Of the causes OF
poverty and crime has been notable.
For these reasons exceptional interest
attaches to the forthcoming national
conference of charities and corrections
at Buffalo from June 9 to Is. inclusive.
1t is now thirty-six years since the
first Of these conferences was held. AL
though the plan of the conference has
resulted In the adoption of very sys-
tematic methods for the conduct of the
proceedings, there has never been
written constitution, and the confer
ence really consists of a rather in
formal meeting of seven or eight large
bodies of men and women engaged in
as many different lines of social and
phiianthropic work in the United
States and Canada They come to-
gether in what is. as the name implies,
a national conference rather than a
convention, and. owing to the freedom
of action permitted. more practical re-
suits are often attained
The president of the conference this
year is Ernest f. Bicknell, director OF
the American National Red Cross in
Washington. Mr. Ricknell is one of
the foremost men in the philanthropic
world in America. He is a graduate
of the University of Indiana and was
for number of years reporter on
the Indianapolis News. He left news
paper work to become the secretary of
the state board of charities of Indi-
ana, and during his administration
very many Of the plans and laws
which have placed that state in the
fore rank Of those states which most
nearly meet their responsibility to the
dependent. defective and delinquent
classes were laid. In 1898 he resigned
this position to become general super
intendent Of the Chicago bureau of
