The Grentest Contest Erer.

The Capital Journal contest has
been an unprecedented success from
its very first day. No similar con-
test ever conducted in the north
west by any newspaper has aroused
greater public interest in some can
didate, and all are willing to help
their favorites. 1t has been fairly
fought by the scores Of candidates
who were nominated, and the best
campaigners are going to win. 1t is
a pleasure for the Capital Journal
to reward them for their efforts
with one of the many high grade
prizes.
Today - SATURDAYS the day.
Today is the last chance.
Remember that for every thou
sand votes you have to deposit to-
day your nearest rival in your dis
trict may have two thousand. Get
your votes in early, and then get
more.
Remember that you have hun
dreds of friends who are Watching
you and perhaps have worked for
you and who want to see you win
1t is up to you to do your level best
for victory to vindicate their sup
port to you.
The fighter who makes the best
stand at the last ditch is the one
whom victory loves to honor. The
ballots you may unexpectedly pick
up today may give you the leader
shipin your district.
Today is the time for the effort
that wins.
Second Payments.
A
derstand and for their information
we wish to say that anyone starting
to take the paper since the contest |
started will always be considered a
new subscriber during the life of the !
contest and votes given accordingly. |
If you start the paper now and pay |
more later during the contest you |
will still be considered a new sub
scriber and votes will be issued ac-
Open Evenings.
For the benefit of those that are
not able to get to this office during
business hours the contest depart
ment will be open every evening.
Small Payments.
Candidates that have taken sub
scriptions for one, two or three
months at the beginning of the con-
test should get these subscribers to
pay the rest of the year as they are
still considered new.
For example a person who sub
scribed for the paper and paid So
cents received 700 votes, by getting
hem to pay $50 more you will bs
given $4,000 votes less the 700 votes
you have already received on the SO
cent payment, or 14,300 votes on
$3.50 payment. This ruling also ap-
plies to any second payment you
nay secure. The price by mail and
It suburban stores is $4.00 per year,
md this rule will also apply on
his vote. But in all cases six
months or more must be added to
ntitle you to the second payment.

A Congressional Swan Song.

The reactionary senators at Wash
ington, having spent time enough in
%squabbling to prevent the censidera-
ton Of all reform measures to which
they were opposed, have quieted down
and have been making an apparently
honest effort to give intelligent and
conscientious attention to the appro-
priation bills and other measures
whose passage before noon OF March 4
is deemed imperative. The house, on
the other hand, still retains it's war
paint and refuses to return to the
ranking under the smarts of the presi-
dents message OF secret service legis-
lation, aided by democrats and repub-
licans who are against. anything pro-
posed by President Roosevelt, have
been venting their spleen with a
vengeance and attempting to defeat
legislation specially urged by the presi-
dent, ever though approved by the SEN
ate.
The house has refused. by a small
majority, to remove its restrictions
from the use of the appropriation for
the secret service. a restriction which
the president declares. and the general
public believes. must result In hamper
ing the different departments of the
government 10 the benefit of land
thieves and corporations persistently
seeking to violate the laws. The house
members who opposed the senate
amendment. removing the restriction.
have made no effort to defend their
position with facts or arguments. but
have been content to abuse the presi-
dent and the head OF the secret service
bureau.
The rejection by the house of the
bill increasing the salary of the presi-
dent from $4,000 to 800 900 is APP
parently without explanation other
than that the members must have lis
tened to the assertion by Champ Clark
OF Missouri that INSTEAD Of $50 600
the president actually receives s29l.-
900 per annum." This is. OF course,
threshing over old straw, but the hg-
ures by which the total is reached are
interesting. Included are clerk hire

lighting White House n grounds

est need is a larger demand for labor
and the task is to create that demand.
The commission admits that the
greatest source of trouble is in Lon
don, where the demands for MAIN
tenance OF the poor is constantly in
creasing. II a way could be found to
clean the London slums OF their idle,
vicious. Incorporate and criminal peo-
pie a beginning would be made in the
reform work. But these people can
not be SEN to jails already over
crowded. The colonies will not have
them and each year they must he sup
ported by the government or by the
honest people upon whom they prey.
The report of the commission and the
solution of the problem of the unem-
ployed will call for the exertion of a
higher order of statesmanship than
has been exhibited by any British Par
lament in recent years.

Doom of Public Gambling.

Nevada is, we believe, the only
state that still licenses public gambling
and all indications are that the present
Nevada legislature will pass a law
a%bolishing gambling as a legalized in
stitution. The sentiment for the
measure appears to be overwhelming
and favorable reports on the bill have
been made by committees in both
branches of the legislature. The op-
p%onents, of course, contend that the
conditions in Nevada are peculiar and
that the sporty" element of it's popu-
lation must have its liberty, as it
brings lots of money to the state,
while the revenue from licenses is
of establishing race tracks in Nevada
as a refuge for the race track gamblers
who have just been driven out of CAL
ifornia. The impression prevails,
however, that these arguments will
not weigh with the legislation against
the general demand for the abolition
Of legalized gambling.
The trend all over the country is
very strongly against the licensing of
n form of vice by the state and the
open gambling house is almost un-
known outside the state Of Nevada.
Even in Mexico public gambling has
been abolished in many of the cities,
and through Europe public gambling
Is either prohibited or restricted as to
extent. time and place. Public senti-
ment is against the gambling den and
the professional gambler, even in Ne
vada. will soon find his occupation

It is to be hoped that there is no
warrant for the report that Mr.. Taft,
when he becomes president. will en-
ploy the term Executive Mansion, "
instead of THE White House." to his
official home. Executive Mansion"
was the official title on the presidents
stationery and documents for many
years. but Mr.. Roosevelt practically
began his record of precedent break
ing by using The White House in
his first Official communications and
during his term in Office has persist
emily refused to use the Executive
Mansion" designation.
While the law Toes not fix the title
of the presidents residence and bust
ness Office, public opinion will gener-
ally approve President Roosevelt's de-
p~arture from custom in that respect.
THE White House" is a distinctive
name. 1t can the head of the great
government of the United States.
There is only one white House"

roof that covers the president,

where he may be temporarily quar-
tered, is an Executive Mansion" to all
intents and purposes. During his term
of office the president cannot get away
from an executive mansion. If he stays
mains at Washington, the home of the
head of the federal government.
Whatever Mr.. Taft's decision may
be, It is safe to say that a popular vote
would show an overwhelming majority

The Red Cross Emblem.

A wholly m~eritorIous bill, prohibit
ing the abuse of the Red Cross EN-
blem, which will probably fail of pas
sage at the present session of congress,
will stand a better chance in a future
congress, as il will have the personal
interest and championship of President
Taft, who is national president of the
Red Cross society and n OF its most
enthusiastic workers. The bill makes
it unlawful for any person falsely and
fraudulently to hold himself out as a
representative of the American Ma
tional Red Cross or to use the emblem
of the red cross on a white ground for
the purpose of trade DR. as an adver-
tisement to induce the sale Of any arti-
Gle whatsoever.
1t would be natural to suppose that
no one could have objection to the pas
sage of a measure to prevent misuse
of the emblem of a society whose work
lies entirely along the lines of human
ity and is recognized by every civilized
nation. Strong opposition, however,
has been offered by concerns who fear
that their trademark will be taken
from them if the Red Cross is made
the sole property of the organization,
which certainly has best claim on it.
1t was developed in the course of the
hearings on the bill that in, times of
disaster, such as the earthquake at
San Francisco, unscrupulous persons
have pinned red crosses on their
sleeves and used the emblem to gain
position in which, they could steal and
rob and carry out other selfish and
criminal purposes. 1t was shown,
too, that the emblem is being used for
advertising purposes for everything
from cough drops to chicken feed, and
frequently stands as a sign of excel
lence for many articles intended for
much baser commercial purposes.
There can be no good, reason for re-
fusing to give this great humanitarian
organization protection for its emblem,

Problem of the Unemployed.

PROFESSIONALLY the most important
subject before the British Parliament,
just assembled, will be the devising of
ways and means to handle the problem
Of the unemployed. British pauperism'
is a chronic condition of dimensions
that do not decrease, but a report Just
submitted to Parliament by a royal
commission contains an array of Stats
tics and conclusions that are nothing
short of staggering.
The report of the Royal commission
contains 1898 printed pages and is
supplemented with records and special
reports making a bulk of matter which
when finally printed will fill more
than forty volumes. The striking hg-
ures show that last year $40, OOO, 900
was spent in relief Of the poor OF Eng
land and Wales, hat one of every
three persons of 65 years. OF age or
over is in an almshouse or in receipt OF
outdoor relief. and that more than
1000, 900 workmen were out of en-
ployment for the greater part of the
year. not counting dependents in the
great cities who make no effort to seek
work. but live upon charity or by
crime.
The situation is made more critical
by the fact that British industries have
been declining, while the cost OF living
has increased. In the last year Brit
ish foreign trade declined IL per cent,
while Germany lost but 2 per cent, and
the cost of living in England. rose
nearly s per cent while II remained
practically stationary in other Euro
pean countries. The Royal commits
sion reports that the conditions Of
life in London and other big towns are
such as to produce a degenerate race,
morally and physically enteebled."
Admitting the seriousness of the sit
%uation. the Royal commission makes
but little Roadway In suggesting plans
OF improvement other than to refer
the whole question to Parliament. The
commission makes hut one pertinent
recommendation. hat OF a comprehen-
sive plan for REPRESENTATION. The com
mission estimates that 1900. 900
acres of land may be %reforested with
out eneroaching upon the agricultural
land, and that planting 10000 acres
annually would furnish employment to
$4,000. and incidental and subsidiary
work to an equal number. The need
OF forests in. England is eVen more
grave than in this country, but refor-
~estration as a means OF relieving the
English poor would fall far short OF
solving the problem. England's great
