spotlight Of publicity upon the
whole career of Senator Lodge, and
denounce him in every legislative
district in the state as a political
boss who betrays a public trust.
To correspondent of The Press
Ames unfolded his plans, and out
lined the platform upon which he
will canvass the state.
This fight" he said, lis not be-
ing waged from motives Of personal
ambition. ! am fighting for a prin-
ciple--for the principle in public
life of live and let live, for the rid
dance of boss rule and for the re-
establishment of rule by the people,
through their representatives.
Lodge is the embodiment Of q
political condition which is happily
passing. He is part and parcel of a
decadent order of things. His style
Of political manipulation has
brought the republican party into
disrepute. I AM FIGHTING FOR
THE REHABILITATION OF MY
PARTY. Today the people, through
the republican party, are dominated
by the bosses. There is absolutely
no chance for individualism.
81 am contesting against a ire
mendous political power, and real
ize it. No railroad Or other corpora
ton will back me. on the contrary,
they are frankly out to defeat me.
1t was only a short time ago that
William Wood president of the
American Wooden Co., otherwise
known as the wooden trust which
owes so much to Senator Lodge,
told me to my face that he would do
everything in his power to down
me. Woods attitude is merely that
of the other trust magnates. Lodge

WHY NO ACTION

by young girl Of 16 in her rooms.
After the policeman had heard
the story sergeant of police was
sent out there last Wednesday
evening,to whom the facts were
again shown, just as they We're pre-
sented to the patrolman. Nothing
followed the visit of the sergeant.
On Thursday afternoon the young
girl again visited the house and re-
manned for some time.
Why the police should refuse to
take action in the case is not
known, unless it is case of police
favoritism. In some of the lodging
houses of the city the police would
have asked but one tip before a gen.
eral raid would have been made.
Second avenue is out of the re-
stricted district and the people lv-
ing in that locality feel that in the
name Of decency they are entitled
to some protection. When woman
who lives in the house tells the po-
lice what is going on and gives the
names Of other witnesses, and then
nothing is done, it is time that
someone Investigate the police.
Spokane policemen have drawn
tribute in the lodging houses of
Spokane to permit such conduct as
was reported to the police in the
Weldon court case. The Press has
evidence that tribute in such cases,
as high as 500 per week, has been
paid by one lodging house, and that
the officers that drew the tribute
are still on the force. In view of
the information given out about the
Weldon court case the public is JUS
titled in forming harsh conclusions
as to the cause of deferring action
by the police. Where is the pull?

Reports to the "moraI welfare"

say that kissing and hugging is
quite extensively INDUCED In at
Mantle park and that some of the
lovers do not even wait for the

their feelings. This conduct has

Shopping Frock Suggestions Made.
OFTEN the double skirt effect so fash
ionable now. is merely suggested by
knee deep hem of some contrasting
material, and these deep hens are add
ed even to pleated skirts.
A very popular style Of this deep
hem arrangement shows a foulard in
one of the new patterns. with hair
stripes over a disc pattern woven in
the fabric. The bodice and upper skirt
suggests a knee length peasant tunic,
with loose sleeves falling above under
sleeves of lace. and the bodice trim
ming suggests the long, seamless
shoulder line very clevcrly
From the lace down there is a hem
of plain silk which matches the silk
on the bodice-this silk. of course. be-
ing in the dominant shade of the foul
ard.
A feature of such a frock is the use
of small. nat buttons-such as are sold
for lingerie garments by the card-as a
trimming. These little white buttons
are sewed close together on the plain
silk borders.
such a frocl is ideal for shopping

Dewey, on the first of May
Entered into Manila Bay,
With his fleet so brave and true
Floating our fag-the Red, White and

while the moon was shining bright
The watch-nan called the hour of night;
All the Spaniards in slumber slept,
While our brave boys 70 duty kept.
Into tho channel. fearless and brave,
Olympia lead the line,
With Baltimore. Raleigh and Petrol,
Never fearing batteries or mines.
As he neared the hostile fleet,
He knew his voyage was near complete,
While Cavite batteries bursted forth,
Olymphia never changed her course.
True and steady. hand to hand.
Commodore Dewey gave command,
Gunners and mates to your post,
Yonder lies the hostile host.
A few minutes later the battle began,
While Montojo's fleet lay in plan.
And their shot and she'll fell like rain,
While our boys shouted Remember
the Maine"
Then Dewey quietly. as quiet could be.
Gave orders. ''You may fire, Gridley,
when ready"
Now. boys, watch the Admiral Montojo.
And give Reina Christina the fatal
blow.
suken and shattered is the Spanish
fleet.
Under our American sailors feet;
won by our noble commodore grand
Dewey, from our free united land
The battle is DER, the victory is wor
The island is ours. lay down your guns
Plant on that soil the flag most true
That floats over land and seattle Red
