daughters and robs them of their
honor and sends them to the
brothel, he should be sent to the
pen. We also declare that, II a
female brute robs our boys Of their
purity, such a brute should like
wise be placed beyond the reach Of
such possibility.
There is only one class of men
who want such women in the COM
munity and they are as low down
as such women -
Now, if the police Of our city can
round up the women who are en-
gagged in the degradation of young
manhood and scattering their
moral pestilance and put them into
restricted district, the city gov
eminent can pass an ordinance
making provision for handling all
such. preventing their evil doing in
the future.
We stand for the overthrow of
the saloon and liquor traffic, the
mother of the social evil,as it is
today; for equal treatment of the
male and female seducer and the
penitentiary or house of correction
as the only restricted district. Let
US not trifle with this monstrous
curse. We have the liquor traffic
because the suffering public toler-
ates it, the social evil is here be-
cause the people tolerate it, and
we appeal to all who love common
decency to rise up and demand a
final solution of this problem, by
the city government; a solution
that will annihilate this evil. We
believe there is moral fiber enough
in Spokane to demand this; that
there is brains and moral sense
enough in the city hall to solve the
problem. And when the police get
these fallen women rounded up, as
they say they will, if the law does
not provide for a permanent re-
straint of them from evil, let an
ordinance be drawn placing them
in the home of the Salvation Army
or house of correction, and, If need
be, let the city itself provide for
them for a time. Such among them
as want to reform should be aided
in earning an honest living, others
should be held to decency by force.

THE MOSS ROSE AND THE
FAIRY

One beautiful summer day a
Fairy saw butterfly with golden
wings fitting about from flower to
Flower. He tried hard to catch It.
but the butterfly could travel fast
Ter than the fairy. So, after long
race the butterfly escaped. but the
fairy was lost in a strange wood
land could not find his way home.
Twilight had come, the wood was
growing dark. and there was no
one to direct him.
He was very tired, so he asked
ia stately lily to let him sleep on
Eber broad leaves. but they had
Sclosed for the night and she re.
fused him shelter. All the other
flowers were closing their petals,
and the poor little fairy was lone
ly and afraid.
At last, when he was discouraged
and almost hopeless he came to a
rose. She was kind, and spread
wide her velvety petals, making an
inviting couch for the tired fairy.
After a restful nap he awoke and
asked the rose how the could re-
pay her for her kindness. She
gazed at him for moment, and
then replied shyly, Make me more
beautiful"
The fairy was surprised, for the
rose was very beautiful already.
and he wondered how 1t was posi-
BILE to add to her beauty.
Just then he noticed some very
fine green moss lying at his feet.
He threw a delicate veil of 1t over
the rose and named her the moss
rose"
II always pays to be kind like
the rose.

A MARRIAGE LICENSE.

The Human Bake Oven in Operation

In treating acute or chronic
cases with the Bake Oven, such as
rheumatism, govt, obesity, sciatica,
neuralgia, synovitfs and all affec-
lions of the joints, all conditions
due to lack of proper circulation,
we have this to say:
The Bake Oven treatments Gre
ate a general hyperaemia or STR
face circulation, opening up the
sweat glands, allowing the dis
charge of poison stuffs and other
decompositions, relieving the sys-
tenn of the disease germs, then
forcing the rich, red blood through
every artery in the body. BY hav-
ing free and easy circulation,
whereby every tissue and cell is
nourished properly by the healthy
blood, could disease exist?
By increasing the circulation
through a diseased area, the scav-
engers, or the white corpuscles,
come into play and carry away the
diseased cell which can not be dis
charged by the skin.
We contend that 80 cases out Of
100 are due to the lack of proper
circulation, therefore we emphatic
ally say. without fear of contradic-
ton, that he Bake Oven is the
most scientific treatment of the
age.

Boise. Feb. @0.-Following close on the
opposition of some of the senate mem
bers to the majority local option bill,
mainly through an effort to secure the
exemption from its provisions of ineOr-
porated cities, towns and villages, came
a resolution introduced by McDevitt to-
day proposing an amendment to the con-
stitution to exclude cities. towns and vii
lagos, not only from the operation of the
option law, but to give them the power
to suppress or countenance amusements
placed under the ban by the Sunday rest
law. The resolution was presented in the
interest of the liquor interests in Boise,
and those citizens who are not in favor
of a continuance of the operation OF the
Sunday rest law.
