The accompanying picture, dear
reader, is that of John Riplin-
ger who ran for mayor of Seattle
nearly four years ago, and by no
means the picture of the man
who calls himself John Riplinger,
who recently returned to Seattle
from Honduras, to learn of those
who have been saying ugly things
about him since he left the city,
why they so spoke. Honest John
Riplinger still says, | am an
honest man, and | defy any
man to prove to the contrary"
Hundreds of dollars have been
squandered by the city on detec-
tives and men looking for the
money in trying to get John Rip
linger back to Seattle, which easy
money men did nothing more
than to relieve the taxpayers of
that much of their good money,
but " honest John Riplinger "
paid no attention to them, and as
soon as he got good and ready he
returned of his own volition and
now there are those of the city
who still insist that they would
have brought him back if he had
not come back. Despite the
fact that the man is accused of
being defaulter to the tune of
some 500, 900, yet it was surpris-
ing the number of frienes he has
in the city and the number of
them with means dead anxious
to go on his bond for his appear
ance in court when wanted.
Whether or not he will ever be
put on trial is not known, but
the consensus of opinion is he
will not be. If the matter has
not been fixed up out of court
then it is believed the prosecut-
ing attorney will see the useless
ness of trying to convict him of
any wrong doing and dismiss the
charges. 1t is further stated by
person who ought to know, that
if Riplinger is ever put on trial
the real thieves will be shown up
to the public and it will not be
honest John Riplinger. F." A
great majority of US however,
are glad to shake hands again
with John Riplinger, not so much
because we want him tried for a
felony, but because we sincerely
admire the man and do not be-
lieve he has committed any crime.

of water or not. 1t is under
stood that after the expenses of
running the plant is paid that at
the price that we are paying now
for our water, there is a surplus
of two hundred thousand dollars
which goes toward defraying the
expenses of running the city.
This is not right, for it makes
the water consumers pay thous
ands of dollars annually that
owners of unimproved lands and
lots ought to pay. This is wrong,
the people have furnished the
money to install the plant and it
is theirs and water should be
furnished at cost and thus relieve
the residents from paying taxes
for non-residents and owners of
vacant real estate.

An exchange says: How can
there be drunkards in the state
of Maine where the law does not
permit liquor to be sold," and
criticises the idea of their hav-
ing Home for habitual drunk
ards. This criticism is for the
purpose of proving the whiskey
advocates old worn out false
argument that prohibition does
not prohibit. f" This assertion is
false as are all the prohibition
states testify. That The states
of Maine and Kansas does not
entirely eliminate and utterly
prevent the sale of ardent spirits
was never contemplated by the
most rabid prohibitionist. But
the saloon, the place where the
most crimes originate and are

planned is fast passing away
and will soon become extinct.
Prohibition does prohibit to a
.gIeat extent and the people are
the better forit. There are pro-.
hibitory laws against all crimes
and yet crimes do exist and jails
in every county in the Union are
filled with criminals and every
state has it's penitentiary for the
laws broken, yet the law does
prohibit crime. These croakers
demaed of the prohibition states
to entirely eliminate the manu-
facture and sale of liquors, while
at the same time they must ad-
NIT that prohibition laws against
crime does prohibit.

ordinary session of our legisla-
ture at Olympia is bombarded
almost daily with men from all
over the state with bills asking
that they may become laws.
This is an egregious error. A
glance over the laws which they
made at the regular session
should convince the most skep-
teal that they should not be en-
trusted to enact another law.
The best stunt that they could
possibly do would be to repeal
all laws they enacted at the reg
ular session and thus in part re-
trieve their gross assninity.

Now that the women from all
over the world are in convention

grounds, it is due to the male
sex to "sit up and take notice, "
lest some of their inalienable
rights are taken bodily from
them. 1t must be remembered
that women even when single
handed are most powerful; and
now when they are all combined
as one woman and united in SEN
timent it behooves frail man to
loook little out. They ask for
small thing, yet most potent,
they only wish to be permitted
by indulgent man to cast piece

ference to them) into the ballot

Doctors as a rule are strange.
No matter what theory of prac-
tice they are engaged in they
have the whole theory of GER
tain cure bottled up in their par
ticular method, and no other
practice can succeed. There are
allopathic. doctors, and the Home
opaths and the osteopaths, and
others, and now comes the Food
cure, by the use of which all the
ills of human life are readily an
initiated. The different schools
of doctors are all wrong. There
are some good in all of
them, and to say that any par
ticular method of curing the ills
Aof humanity is the only method,
cannot be maintained. What
should be accomplished would be
to take the best of all of these
different practicesand formulate
a practice containing the best
remedies irrespective of the
source from which they come.

The Epworth League, a Meth
odist young peoples christian
organization, is with us at the
exposition. There are perhaps
ten or fifteen thousand delegates
and members from all over the
civilized world in attendance,
and with Bishop Quayle, one of
the brightest men in that church
at the head. Grand lectures and
sermons have been heard and
much enthusiasm has character
lied the proceedings. The Ep-
worth League and the Christian
Endeavors are the two leading
young peoples christian organic
ations, and they are doing a
grand work in instilling into the
minds of the young lofty and
christian ideas and motives.

Ter 'em vote and we would have
better men elected to office, and
once in a while one of the fair
sex would adorn an official posi-
ton.
No head of the various de-
partments of the city should be
member of the Board of Public
Works. The city engineer, the
the head of the water and light
ing departments, the head of
the sereet department and the
head of all other departments,
should not be members of the
Board of Public Works. Each
one as it is now is pulling for his
own department and is intensely
interested In having his particu-
lar department loom up" above
the others, consequently all de-
partments are treated with a
lavish hand. The city engineer
should not be a member of the
board for he has enough to do
without having those duties
placed upon his shoulders. Let
there be a segregation and if it
takes a charter amendment let
us have it soon.

Too many of our people are re-
siding in the cities. In many
ways the country is pre-
ferable. To obtain even a
small piece of land and erect
thereon cozy dwelling tho
small and have it all your own
is an enjoyment for any family.
You can have your cow, pigs,
turkeys and chickens at scarcely
any cost, and there are your ap-
pies, pears, berries and garden
stuff for not more labor than
the planting. tits true that you
cannot go to the theatre so often,
nor the ball room, but you have
a more infinite pleasure in know
ing that your children are in
good society and are having at
least good common school edu-
Tcation and are being brought up
to be good men and women and
and an ornament to society.
Happy is the man who has a few
acres of good soil to till and a
family devoid of the frivolities

Betting is wrong, not only to
the man who bets, but it is a
wrong to his family as well.
The saying that a man has a
right to gamble away his money
if he chooses, is not true. A
mans money morally belongs to
his family equally as well. When
he CANDLES away his money that
his family should have. The
same may be said of the man
who bets. No matter if the bet
is only a trifle the principle is
wrong. and tho the wager may
be small it is a be- and should

STEEL STOCK WILL
 YET BE LISTED

New York, June 17.--In the opinion of Ferdinand DuPont, the French banker, through whose efforts stocks of the Uni ted States Rubber company and of the Utah Copper company secured admission to the Coulisse of the Paris bourse, there can be no doubt that eventually the stock of the United States Steel corporation will be listed in the French exchange.
 "The mistake that has been made" said he, was in announcing as an accomp- lshed fact what in reality had just be- gum
 The outcry against the listing of Steel, which had been raised by a few unthink- ing French steel-makers, MT. DuPont de- clared was undeserving of serious con sideration, since the placing of those se- curities on the French market would not bring a single additional dollar into the treasury of the United States Steel corporation. The matter was purely a banking question. he said, not a company promoting scheme.
 MT DuPont had heard of a rumor that the stock of the Union Pacific and South ern Pacific railways would be among a number of American securities shortly to be placed on the French market, but had not been able personally to confirm it.

AMERICANS PAY
 VISIT TO POPE

Rome, June 17.-Archbishop Farley of New York, the Rt. Rev. Michael J. Hogan, bishop of Scranton, and Bishop Maurice F. Burks of St. Jospeh, Mo-. were received in private audience by the Pope today.
 Archbishop Farfey's audience lated for half an hour. He thanked tn @ Pope for the interest taken in the golden jubilee of the American col lege. In a joking tone, the Pope said to the arch bishop:
 q have been told that yesterday you went out to Castle Gandol and played baseball"
 The archbishop replied:
 ''Yes, your holiness. l pitched the first ball. It was the first game to be it to be inaugurated by one of the old est of the alumni" He added that tn unoccust omed exertion had given him a glass arm" The Pope then wanted to know how Monsignor Kennedy had played, saying that as rector of the American college he was fatherly, but firm.
 The conversation then turned to the generosity of the American people to the Messina earthquake sufferers, and the pontiff described the provisions made to help them, saying that the sum of $1,400000 had been collected and that the vatican was sending out portable churches where they were needed.
