tbs is Chas. Nagel.
Take good look at him, be
cause he may soon be on the U. S
supreme court bench. President
Taft wants to appoint him.
In Missouri, Nagel's home, they
regard him as a Standard Oil law
yer. Until he became secretary OF
commerce and labor he was coun
sci for the Anheuser-Busch brew
cry at salary of $4,000 a year
He is one of the richest men in st
Louis. Once during a street cal
strike he organized a company OF
70 deputy sheriffs, armed then
with riot guns and told the strikers
that these guns could shoot sever
bullets with every pull of the trig
ger"
That's Nagel.

0NE-FOuRTH ARE IN
"SHARKS'" CLUTCHES
"ABSoLUTE SECRECY" IS GREAT BAIT OF LOAN
SHARKS-HOW THEY LURE
VICTIMS.

While definite figures are of
course unavailable, it is safe to es-
innate that fully one-fourth of the
wage earners of the city of Spo-
kane are in the clutches of the loan
sharks, that 25 per cent of the sal
aried men are paying blood money
to the human leeches.
This seems a high estimate, but
the average in other large cities is
that from one-fourth to one-third of
the wage earners pay toll to the
Shylocks. and there is no reason to
believe that Spokane is any better
off in this line than other towns,
How does 1t come, you ask, that
such a great percentage of the pop
ulation acquire the borrowing
habit?
The answer comes through pc
rusal of the seductive advertise
ments which the human blood suck
ers use in order to draw their vic
tins into the net.
Money easy" say all these ad-
vertisements. Absolute secrecy"
That's the lure that catches
thousands of poor devils every
year.
It's so easy to get money from a
loan shark. All you have to do is
to walk up to his office, tell him
where you work, give him one or
two references, and the next day
you have your money. And then
that little clause of absolute Sc
crecy" That is the real foundation
of the loan shark business. No one

need ever know, is a great entice
ment to the workingman who finds
himself in pressing need of GER
tain sum of money for a short time
Perhaps it is case of sickness
Perhaps it is some little extrava
gance; although the victim hardly
ever goes to the shark the first
time for money to spend extrava
gantly.
Suppose yourself a workingman
in need of money. Perhaps you alb
solutely have to have that money
You don't know where to get it
None fyour friends can let you
have it, you can't draw it from the
boss.
Then you pick up newspaper
and under the heading of Money
to Loan" your eye strikes the ad
of the loan shark.
Money easy; on your own note I;
no endorsers." Those are some OF
the things which attract you to the
Shylock.
But the big thing, the thing
which finally decides you is that
little bait of Absolute Secrecy"
You feel that you simply must
have that money. No one need
ever know, so you drop into the
| loan sharks office.
And the spider has caught an
other fly.
Tomorrow will be told the man
ner in which the Shylock's victim
is tied up after bein genticed into

BY PARA DALTON.

Have you ever stopped to think
how many miles you walk each day
In the daily routine of your work?
i In these days of rapid transit and
handy vehicles, wherein the word
pedestrian is falling into disuse
through lack of application, exer-
else of the neither limbs is still
rather more strenuous than is gen
orally realized. Most of the walk
ling done now days is done indoors
without the knowledge or attention
of the people. AS Gagged animal,
pacing ceaselessly back and forth,
will cover miles in a day, so will
the business man and employe
cover a surprising distance while
walking in the narrow confines OF
their offices or places of business.

OREGON PRIMARIES
REGISTRATION lO7,729
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
SALEM, Ore, Sept. 22.-With
the returns from all counties prac-
tically completed, the total regis
tration for the Oregon statewide
primaries Saturday is 107,729. 1t is
probable that this number will be
augmented by approximately 1000
when reports from outlying dis
tricts are received. AS the regis
tration now stands the total of reg
istered republicans is 74,037; dem
ocrats 23,14S, and other parties
10,544. Although there are more
voters in the state than ever be-
fore the registration for the pri-
maries this year is practically
10000 short of registration for the
general election of 1908, and 1000
short of the total number of votes
cast at the last presidential cleo
ton.

HOW MANY MILES DO
YOU Walk DAILY?

A young waitress when asked if
she could walk to Cheney in day
almost lost her breath. why, no.
she exclaimed; yet when she be-
gan to estimate the distance she
covered in walking to and fro from
her work and the trips made from
the kitchen to the dining room she
found she had walked IA miles each
day.
A conductor on local street car
said that If he should measure in
miles the space covered while walk
ing up and down the car collecting
fares it would probably average
from 10 to IL miles each day.
Several local housewives verified
the statement that they probably
covered IL miles each day in the
execution of their household duties.

LIVE STOCK HIGH.

PULLMAN, Wash, Sept. 22.-
The high prices obtained for live
stock at public auctions continue to
excite comment. 1t was thought
that, owing to the high price of

live stock just at the beginning of
winter, when it means several
months expensive feeding before
there are any returns, but at all Of
