Four blackened walls and the
bare, fire SCARED tower is all that
remains today noon of the South
Central high school building, once
the pride of the city, and land
mark Of the early enterprise of Spo-
kane.
In a space Of two short hours fire
licked up property worth $250,000
at a conservative estimate, 1925, 900
in the building and $4,000 in con.
tents. OF what value the salvage,
consisting Of the standing walls,
will be cannot be determined until
the fire cools sufficiently to permit
a close examination. II the walls
can be used for rebuilding, 1t will
mean the saving Of tens Of thou
sands to the school corporation; II
the walls must be torn away be-
cause of injury or to permit the
erection of a larger building, then
the structure will be an entire loss.
BIG LIBRARY BURNED.
Among the contents consumed
we're text books owned by the tax
payers worth $4,000, library Of
1000 volumes worth easily $2500 to
$4,000, an expensive laboratory
equipment, desks, chairs. tables.
etc. The total insurance is $4,000.
The damage to the west wall Of the
administration building. which was
badly scorched, but otherwise
escaped harm, is fully covered by
insurance.
WILL REBUILD AT ONCE.
The school board will rebuild at
once. Action will probably be
taken on the future course to be
pursued. The school board recently
had discussed the high cost of in
surance on the school building. be-
ing in excess of $4,000 per annum.
There was some talk Of the school
board, with the numerous buildings
in its care. Of carrying its own in
surance, but this was voted down
and a decision reached to still carry
the insurance. In today's fire the
insurance companies are soaked FOR
enough to cover the cost OF the
premiums derived from the school
board for generation.
After getting its fun equipment
into operation today the fire de-
aartment did effective work. On
three sides the South Central high
school was surrounded by frame
buildings. with streets intervening

Finally, since the bill passed, nearly
every Republican candidate for con-
gress and Republican state platforms
generally have declared that hereaft-
er when the tariff shall be revised by
Republicans it shall be revised one
schedule at time, instead of by a
general revision of the entire tariff.
We have provided the machinery for
q further revision on the protective
principle when the necessary informa-
tion has been secured. In my judg-
.ment the country will hesitate before
entrusting a further revision of the
tariff to the Democratic party on free
trade or tariff for revenue principles.

ONE LINK N THE CHAIN Of
EVIDENCE ALREADY FORGED
The Explosive Used Was Purchased
at the Giant Powder Works and Has
Been Identified by the superintend.
ent Of That Plant.

Los Angeles, Oct. 3-Pinned down
by tons of twisted steel girders, a
number of bodies were found early
today by workmen engaged in remov-
ing the debris from the basement of
the wrecked Times building.
The situation was found to be such
this morning that It was impossible
to make any progress in recovering
the bodies and a steel crane will have
to be placed in order to lift the heavy
material away. It is believed that
further investigation will bear out
the theory of 8. w. Crabill, foreman
Of the composing room, who in max
ing his escape the morning Of the
disaster, fell down the elevator shaft
and got out only after having been
severely burned. Crabill said there
were undoubtedly a number of bodies
at the bottom of the shaft, as others
besides himself had stumbled that
way.

Is carried out, it will, believe, do
much to remove fruitful source of
political discussion, which arouses
prejudice and class feeling and which
Is fed by Misrepresentation.
We agreed to provide for the max
ing of limited traffic agreements be-
tween interstate railways, subject to
the approval of the commission.
| Then there is the greatly needed
legislation for additional safety appli-
ances. refer to the bills pending in
congress for the government inspec-
tion Of locomotive boilers and for the
elimination by government direction
of danger to employees from overhead
and sideway projections.
We need the enactment of laws
authorizing the disposition of coal
phosphate, oil and gas lands of the
government. and the water power sites
owned by the government along
streams in which there is valuable
water power, now uncontrolled, under
leases on grants which shall induce
investment Of private capital in the
development of those lands; but shall
continue the government as ultimate
controller Of the properties with an
equitable provision for readjustment
of terms at comparatively short pc
riods.
We need new government for
Alaska with laws properly protecting
the government domain in that vast
empire which we agreed to supple
ment and strengthen the antitrust
law in so far as it might seem neces-
sary.
Finally. we are committed to an
elimination of the defects in our bank
ing and currency system, with re-
spect to which the monetary commits
sion has accumulated much material.
No one can read the list of meas
ures actually passed and those pro-
posed by the national Republican par
ty and not admit that the party is pro-
gressive in the highest degree. 1t is
list to be proud of. It marks the
rising tide of progress that began
at the end of a Democratic panic
when William Mckinley was our lead
er and that continued throughout the
two administrations of Theodore
Roosevelt.
1t is truly Republican distinction
that our party has been able to place
on the statute books far-reaching
remedial legislation, touching the very
vitals of our social and economic
structure, without involving the coun-
try in financial disaster. A party of
true progress is not party of radi-
calism. 1t Is not party of ultra
conservatism. A progressive Republi-
can Is one who recognizes existing
and concrete evils and who is in favor
of practical and definite steps to eradi-
cate them.
Some Specific Evils.
Now what are. the specific evils that
have aroused the people? I believe
that they have been growing in this
country for years and that they can
be briefly stated thus: -.
