ing and serving, and Of the Hawaiians
in table manners, for the dining room
is separated from the general public
at the exposition by only glass parti-
ton and hundreds of persons paused
10 watch the progress Of the meal.
The luncheon was served in the edu.
cational building, and was altogether
delightful. it would be difficulty to
imagine more daintily prepared or
served meal. The appointments of the
table were faultless, and every one of
the six courses would have been
credit to a professional French chef.
The most remarkable part of the whole
thing was the cost which was figured
out to a cent. 1t amounted to Just
S4.75, and was sufficient for twenty
guests, or under twenty-four cents per
guest. There were, however, only ten
in the party.
These luncheons have already become
famous at the exposition. Already
many persons of note have been served
in the dainty little dining room, which
by the way was entirely finished and
furnished by the boys of the Olympia
High SCHOOL, manual training class;
the officials of the exposition, the gov
ernors of several states, with their
stats, the Seattle Press Club, and a
number of others. 1t is the expecta-
tion that President Taft will also be
served here during his visit to the ex.
position in the fall The cost of these
excellent meals is rarely over thirty
cents, and is usually in the neighbor.
hood of twenty-five. The luncheon
which the Hawaiian party partook of
was really prepared for Governor Glass
cock, of West Virginia, and party, the
Hawaiians having been invited for sew
eral days later, but the Governor was
unable to be present owing to illness,
so the dates were changed. Mr.. l.. H.
Burnett, one of the commissioners for
the state of Washington, acted as host
at the luncheon, these affairs all being
given in the name of the state. The

SMUGGLING ROW
IS DYING DOWN

The storm raised Tuesday over the
reported smuggling operations Of the
officers and men Of the cruiser st. Louis
appears 10 be dying down and the
chances are now that it will blow over
without any serious damage being done
except to the feelings Of the Collector
of the Port and the Captain of the
vessel, which seem to have been badly
rufned by the strong breeze. But the
two gentlemen are reported TO have met
and talked 1t over, shaken hands and
gone their separate ways without any
casualties resulting
One arrest, that of Dial Perkins, Master
alarms of the st. Louis, is TO be made
this morning, warrant for him being
sworn out before Commissioner George
A. Davis yesterday. But the indica-
tions are that even he will be released,
and If punished at all, il will be as the
result of a court-martial to be held on
the cruiser. The charges preferred by
the Federal civil authorities will prob
ably be dropped and the Captain left
to handle the situation himself, as this
is understood to be his expressed wish.
Perkins was not arrested yesterday,
as there was no wish on the part Of
Marshal Hendry TO put him and the
commander of the cruiser to the I'M
necessary trouble of procuring bonds.
Notice was sent to Captain Gleaves
that if he would promise to have Per
kns on hand at nine o clock this morn
ing, the warrant would not be served
yesterday.

WHO PAYS THE TaXES.

Discussing the question Of who bears
the burdens Of taxation, Editor Eugene
Matthews, Of the starke Telegraph,
says: I'VE are told that State Senator
FlOurnOy, Of DeFuniak Springs. after
giving the subject Of taxation consider
able study, has arrived at the eonelu-
sion that the poorer class Of citizens
and the corporations are bearing more
than their share Of the burden Of taxa
ton, while the middle class escapes
much Of the burden that they ought 20
bear. The plain, unvarnIshed truth Of
the matter IL that pretty much ell OF
us dodge every cent of taxation that
we can. The very poor man having
little 10 cover up and the capitalization
Of the corporation being q matter Of
public record, they may come IN for
more than their share Of the burden,
as Senator Flournoy concludes, but the
fact remains that we are q generation
Of tax dodgers and few Of us, indeed,
are without sin. IL the real and per-
sonal property in this State were re-
turned for taxation at IS per cent. Of
actual value, the footing up would not
