VICTIMS Of THE POLICE
Vicious Is the Management of the
Social Evil Here in Spokane. 7'~

distinctions between good" and
bad" in this connection is not
clearly marked out.
There are certain lodging houses
in this city that harbOr women that
are rarely ever raided, while others,
less favored, are pulled at every
opportunity.
The Investigations of the police
probers go to show that Spokane is
in the worst condition today in the
management and control of the So
cial evil than it has ever been. In
stead of the women being grouped
together and permitted to operate
under some restrictions, they are
dispersed over the city and subject
to any police oppression that may
be shown.
This system is rotten to the core.
1t breeds graft and dishonesty and
members of the present police
force will have hard work to con-
vince the men who know the ropes
that these conditions do not exist
at the preSent time.

Investigation of police methods
f Mdling women prisoners has
.eveloped some startling facts
bout the universal prevalence of
restitution in the lodging houses
nd hotels of the downtown dis
riot. So bad has this become that
is hard to tell when one enters a
lodging house that is free of it.
There are three Or four high
soned 'parlor houses on Front
avenue that run without being mo-
ested by the police beyond per-
functory sort of raid once a month.
But all efforts by others to estab-

these favored ones have proved
'utiles, Almost every time such OPP

Thus the unfortunate women
who ply their trade in the lodging
houses are left as the prey of the

them, and IL current rumors are to

Get on speaking terms, so to
speak, with your own city. For in
stance, what does the average citi-
zen of Spokane know about Spo-
kane, it's government, its educa-
tional and welfare work, it's public
health, it's civic Improvement
moyements, it's crimes and meth
odM of correcting them. it's chart
ties-in fact, about it's thousand
and one phases of work, play, Joy
and grief? And, above all, what
does the city lack and how can it
be obtained? n
Believing that the people of Spo-
kane should be better acquainted
with their own city and hence bet
ter prepared to know its needs and
to cooperate in building up a great,
clean, modern community, the
chamber of commerce, through it's
civic improvement committee, has
taken up the "Know Your City"
movement, which has met with
such success in Seattle, Portland
and Walla Walla. Beginning Tues
day and lasting till Friday this
week, Civic Institute will be held
in the chamber of commerce assem-
bly, rooms. 1t is free, and every
body in Spokane is invited to at
tend and get wise to their own
town, for that is the sole purpose
of the meetings.

by H. A. Yeomans; "The Commits
sion Plan" by Gordon G. Corbaley;

IS THE
LOGICAL POINT

Guy M. Walker, of New York City,
a prominent capitalist and railroad or
ganizer, well known throughout the
east and southeast, is emphatically and
enthusiastically for San Francisco as
the site for the proposed Panama ex-
position in 1915. Mr.. Walker recently
visited San Francisco and while there
expressed his preference in unmistak-
able terms, at the same time giving
strong reasons for his opposition to
New Orleans.
ct am for San Francisco first, last
and all the time as the site for the
Panama exposition said Mr.. Walker,
" and ] am unalterably opposed to New
Orleans. For New Orleans, or any 9th
er gulf city to advance a claim to the
proposed exposition to celebrate the
opening of the Panama canal is ridicu-
lous.
"New Orleans handles the exports of
the Mississippi valley, and the cotton
and wheat of Texas, and 80 per cent of
that goes to either New York or Europe.
1t will never go through the canal and
the attempts of the New Orleans boost
ers to get the exposition on the ground
that the canal will add materially to
the export trade of that city is prepos-
ferrous.
"The Panama canal is essentially a
west coast proposition. 1t was conceiv-
ed and is being built with the primary
object of enabling eastern manufacture
ers to ship their products to the Pacific
coast and to the Oriental ports by a
shorter and more economical route, and
to facilitate trade between the Pacific
coast and European ports. 1t will bene-
fit San Francisco ten times as much as
it will benefit New Orleans.
"The summer time is the time for
vacations and travel, yet the mere idea
of New Orleans attempting to hold an
exposition in the summer is preposter-
Gus. What with the heat, the plague
of mosquitoes and the fever New Or
leans is in the summer what General
Sherman called war;
Walker is chairman of the reorgani-
cation committee of the Columbus,
Delaware and Marion railroad of Ohio
and also of the reorganization commit
tee of the Indianapolis, Charlottesville
and Western Indiana Railroad company.
81 am interested in railroads in
Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana and
have been in New Orleans dozens of
times, so l think I am qualified to
judge. / am going to New Orle~ns
again in a few days. I shall wear a
Pa~nama-Pacifc Booster button on
my coat and let the people down there
know that I am a San Francisco sbooss
err and a good one.
stFrom an educational point of view
San Francisco is immeasurably superioi
to New Orleans as a site for a great ex-
position. People coming to San Fran
cisco will be afforded a splendid OPP
~portunity to see the wonders of the
west. wonders that are unequalled any
where on earth. People going to New
Orleans will see the exposition-noth
ing more. And having seen the exposi
ton they will return home as soon a:
possible.
eff the exposition is held in Sar
Francisco it will draw double the mum
Der of visitors from the far east that
an exposition in New Orleans would
notwithstanding the widely advertised
fact that that city is nearer the center
of population"

The Span OF Life.

After we are dead, it will proba-
bly, not concern US whether we died
at twenty or fifty or ninety but just
now most of us are intensely inter-
ested in the matter, and, being aver
age persons in sound health, we can
figure out with certainty just what
our chances are of reaching any
particular age.
If we are just twenty years of
age, our chances of living to or be-
yond thirty are nearly IL to 1; of
living to be forty, 5 3-S to /; to be
fifty, 3 to 1; to be sixty, / 2-3 to /.
OF living to be seventy we have
less than ole chance in 2 1-2; to be
eighty, less than one chance in
5 IL; and to be ninety, less than
one chance in 100.
If we have reached thirty, our
chances to reach forty are nearly ii
to /; to be fifty, nearly 4 IL to 1;
to be sixty, 2 1-8 to 1; to be seventy
4 1.2 chances in ten; to be eighty
one chance in 5 IL; to be ninety
one chance in 100.
The average man Of forty has
s SO chances to / Of reaching his
fitch birthday, 2 rs chances to /
o. attaining sixty only 5 chances
out Oh 10 Of reaching seventy; one
chance in 100 of becoming ninety.
Having been lucky in all the
drawings up to fifty years, the aver
age man has 4 rs chances to one
of becoming sixty; to become sew
enty, the chances are 1 Ia to 1 in
his favor; to become eighty, he has
bat one chance in five, and to be-
come ninety, one chance in 100.
If already sixty, the average clti-
zen has two chances to one of be-
coming seventy, one chance in
four Of becoming eighty, and one
chance in sixty-siX Of reaching
ninety.
The man Of seventy has three
chances in eight Of becoming eighty
and one in fifty of becoming ninety.
If he has weathered the storm
until his eightieth birthday, he has
one chance in seventeen of reach
ing his ninetieth mile-post.
1t will be observed that, as we
get older, our chances of reaching
ninety increase greatly. Harper's
