OTHELLO, Nov. 12.-Abraham
Lofquist, who registered at the
Hibbard hotel here Saturday night
from Seattle has disappeared I'M

Lofquist came here apparently
for the purpose of making an in

was very DESTROYS of meeting the
officers of the Commercial club,
asking the hotel clerk to get him

ALDRICH IS NOW
PLAYING POSTUM
THO TAFT HAS INDORsED THE PLAN RHODE ISLAND
Err SAYS THERE is NONE-GETTING READY
OVER"

You will notice, however, that
these publications will also be
held back until it is too late to
have them examined with critical
care.
"In short, it is a surreptitious
advance. Mr.. Aldrich never takes
rhe public into his confidence. He
did not in the tariff Investigations
and he will not in this bank plan.
Only at the last moment will the
people know what Mr.. Aldrich and
his banking friends in Wall street
are putting over"
The first of these predictions
has already come true, even ito
the unfinished condition of the
monographs. The diners at the
Commercial club were handed a
printed list of So publications
which were "in course of prepare
ton for the monetary commits
sion." These were strongly rec
commended by Mr.. Aldrich, but not
one of them is available, nor will
be for many months.
l am informed that the provi-
sions of the Aldrich central bank
bill have been thoroughly dis
cussed in the offices of j. P. Nor
gan e Co., and that Mr.. Wicker
sham, Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Fran.
els Lynde Stetson were present at
the conference. Mr.. Stetson was
authorized to draft tentative
bill. This bill, or it's essential
features, has been shown in the
strictest confidence to the attor-
neys for the group of Chicago
financiers headed by the Armours.
But 1t is not the purpose to make
public this bill until a Legislative
opportunity presents itself.
Against the statement of Sena-
tor Aldrich that the bill will not
be reported this winter, I have the
statements of two senators that
they were told by President Taft
to be ready this winter to vote for
the Aldrich bill.
And speaking of President Taft
isn't it awkward? In his Boston
speech Mr.. Taft said Mr.. Aldrich
was a wise patriot with fine cur.
rency scheme and central bank
plan, and that he (Taft) was for
it.
In his Chicago speech Aldrich
said he had no plan!

down the theater steps, Miss
Leake slipped and hurt her ankle.
Mr.. O'Brien saw the accident and
rescued her from the hurrying
crowd leaving the theater. He had
her removed to his office and
summoned medical aid. This hap

According to word received here
yesterday, the romance thus be-

last Saturday, Nov. 6, at o'clock
in the afternoon when they were

Some time after the meeting

KING GEORGE.

Did you ever hear about King
George III of England? He was
king when America fought for her
independence and won 1t, though
he was king of England and sent
out thousands of soldiers to con-
quer the brave people who wanted
to live in peace in the new world
and govern themselves.
Well, this was the king, and
though he did all these things,
still they say that he was very
goodnatured king and liked to go
up and down his country and talk
to people In the country lanes who
did not know he was king.
That must have been fun for the
king, and yet I wonder IL some
times he did not hear things about
himself that made him feel bad.
One day in harvest time King
George was walking through o
field when he saw that there was
only one woman at work. The
king stopped to talk with her and
asked her where all the other
workers were. "They have gone
to see the king" she said. "Ht

SMOKING DENOUNCED.

Editor of the Tacoma Times:

the universal, harmful and waste.
full habit of smoking.
The high praises of Abraham
Lincoln have been spoken
throughout our land during the
past week, and his life has been
held up as safe example to fol-
low.
This is all right, and doubtless
many people are making more or
less strenuous efforts to follow
this great mans example, but /
believe that the great majority are
not doing so.
Lincoln was strong temper
ance advocate, and the day before
his death he announced that the
question after the war would be to
wipe out the liquor traffic" Some
people are trying to stop this traf-
fic, but not the majority of the
people. Lincoln had little respect
for smokers. and once remarked
of pipe, "A fire at one enI and
a fool at the other" And this
can be said of cigars and cigar
cites.
At the great banquet in the Ar
mory cigars were so freely smoked
that the clothes of those who
were present were SO filled with
the odor of the smoke that the
houses of the men were filled
with it when they returned home
The use of tobacco is not so in
furious as the drinking of intoxi-
eating liquors, but 1t cannot be
denied that its use is more or less
Injurious to everyone, and it is
also very wasteful habit.
Millions upon millions are spent
every year by smokers, chewers
and snuff-takers. and much OF
this amount is spent by those who
really cannot afford to indulge In
this Injurious, wasteful and fool
ish habit. SAMUEL l.. WHITE.
