"The bride was a girl who is I'M

upbuilding and reform, a girl who in

grandfather whose methods would
not be countenanced in these days of
finer moral vision and larger human
sympathies; girl who has nothing
to boast of except this money.
''She was married to youth who
has never helped any social, religious
or moral movement of his city in any
exceptional degree, as is expected of
one whose inheritance along finan-
cial lines calls especial attention to
his power.
II am surprised that these people
allowed their wedding gifts to be adj

Effect on Wage Farmers.
"This arrogant display of pluto
cratic wealth stirs up the spirit of
anarchy in the hearts of our wage
earners and toilers, who today never
expect to eat off silver plates and who
have not tasted good meal in years.
The affair was not one to please a
lover of democracy; it made one
think of Russia. Such a wedding
should have been celebrated quietly
after the divorce court proceedings
which have recently brought disgrace
to the whole Gould family.
$50 far as the Drexel family is
concerned, we never hear of them do
ing anything to help our political or
social life out of it's disgraceful con-
dition. These people are not our
great citizens. They are the rem
nants of an old order of industrial
prosperity; they are our social
idlers; they can give dinner parties
and yachting jaunts, but their moral
and spiritual output is of little value
in the upbuilding of our civic life

undemocratic and confiscatOry. If I
could look at it in that light. / must
admit that / would feel much in
clined to fling pretty strong fit.
But it seems to me that a PROPOSE
ton which requires a two-thirds
majority of the legal votes in a COM
munity to carry must have very
large element of democracy in it.
And in as much as it would be diff
cult to find a school district in
which there were not more than one
third of the legal voters taxpayers,
it would seem that some of the prop
erty owners, at least, must take part
in the confscation. But can you call
tax confiscation where the taxpayer
receives benefit from the tax?
I trust your patience will not be
overtaxed by one more question:
how is the levying of local tax in
the bearing School District to ben
eft the negro? Convince me that
any part of the tax fund can be di-
verified to the negro school and I am
done with the local tax proposition.
1t is local tax as we have it applied
in the bearing School District that I
am contending for. I readily admit
that local tax under the conditions
which you, DR.. Andrews, and others
indicate would be nothing short of a
calamity.
Keep the light turned on. If it is
bad thing, it will be voted out. If
it proves to be good proposition, it
will be retained.
Very truly yours,
G. F. RODGERS.
Answer.
1t appears that Brother Rodgers
was advocating one thing and I criti-
cising another. 1t is often So We
are all liable to misunderstood one
another
The kind of local taxation which
has been thrust upon Randolph
County and which DR.. Andrews at
tackled, was the sort that was in my
mind.
[ had no intention of abiding to
local taxation in towns and villages.
bearing district is peculiarly for
tunate in being a white mans coun-
try, with small farms owned and
worked by white men. I don't know
Of many districts where the local
school-tax is so free from objection.
And I know of few communities
where people would be less liable to
adopt any plan or law that wasn't
meritorious.
But Mr.. Rodgers must bear in
mind that there are many villages,
towns, cities and country neigh bor-
hoods in the South, where the ne
groes are in the majority. He must
remember, also, that a large majori-
ty of such cities, towns and rural
communities could be controlled by
a union of the negroes and the
whites who own no property.
This being obviously and notori-
ously true, it can readily be seen
what such com bination could do to
the property owners, if it once got
taste Of success. T. e. w.

DROWNING

Accidental drowning or suicide is
supposed to be the cause of death
of c. Gosca, whose body was found
In the river near the Washington
street bridge this morning.
From the appearance of the body
it is evident that death occurred
about two weeks ago, and the acct.
dent or suicide theory is borne out
by the fact that the coroner has
been unable to find any marks of
violence on the body. The body
was located by s. e. McNeal. a log
roller for the Phoenix sawmill. A
gold watch and $45 in money found
on the person of the dead man pre-
cludes the theory of robbery.

In the present case, however, the
order came from the board of
health, not the school board, and so
far as can be learned from a hur-
ried examination of the statutes,
the health board has not the neces-
sary authority to enforce the order.
Much opposition to the order has

tically certain that it's enforcement

MEETING TOMORROW.
So strong has the opposition to
the compulsory vaccination idea be-
come that q meeting has been called
for tomorrow evening in the rooms
of the Theosophical society. in the
Granite building, at which time it is
proposed to formally organize the
Anti-Vaccination league of Spokane
for the purpose of combating the
vaccination idea.
While opinions vary as to the
value of vaccination, the general
concensus of medical opinion in the
city is that vaccination is what
might be appropriately termed a
necessary evil.
OPINIONS ON NATTER.
Among the physicians who dis.
cussed the subject with The Press
today was DR.. S. P. Seabrook, 41O
Granite building. The doctor felt
that he was not sufficiently In
formed to express an opinion as =.
the immediate necessity of vaccina.
ton in the public schools, but at the
same time expressed himself as
strongly in favor of vaccination, as
a scientific safeguard against dis
ease.
DR.. Grieve, city health officer
was non-committal today as to the
outcome of the fight against vaccin.
alton, but 1t was plain to be seen
from his attitude that he thought
compulsory vaccination would not
be enforced at the present time.
Hundreds of parents have ex-
pressed their opinion on the sub.
ject, and the concensus Of these
opinions is that If there wer ca gen.
eral epidemic of smallpox in the
city at the present time no objec-
ton would be made to the vaccina-
ton order, but that in view of the
fact that the city Is Just now free
from this particular disease than in
a year or more past the order is
entirely unnecessary and uncalled
for.
