STRENGTH OF COMMON EVERYDAY
FOLK

Judge Lindsey of Denver concludes his articles in
Everybodys Magazine, in the May number, out today
The judge has laid bare the evil influence of busness
IN one American city There city in the land that is
not being similarly corrupted.
Lindsey has shown how seekers for special privilege
rup politicians and how to do So the baefu influence
is thrown around newspapers courts, colleges churches
and schools He has shown how, nnOcenty doubt the
pulpit and the university is made to work with the under
world to the end that man may secure,
through franchise, advantage the man.
When Lindsey started out his fight h. appealed to those
forces that are usually appealed to to reform things.
That IS he went to the honest business men, the minister's
the teachers the or in Colorado there is women
suffrage)
But the banks controlled by public service corporations
put the screws the businessmen; the pillars Of the
church muzzled the preachers; the school board (boss-
ued) gagged the teachers. and husbands warned their
wives that political activity meant business persecution
$50 says the Judge, 1.-THE best we got confidential
good wishes.''
Then the real reform started. For Lindsey turned to the
people He to the who were not ''pron-
inent citizens and to the women who not social
leaders. He went to those who merely earning v
ings at hard labor and rearing children to make the
ton 5 next generation.
And these people knew they being swinded by the
gas company and robbed by the water trust and maced
by the street monopoly
They knew their courts were loaded against them and
their hard earned tax money divided among political
cenaries
Lindsey told them how the wheel was rugged and they
dd.the rest.
Those the people and that is the way that decency
is going to rule this countryf it does The other
tive they discern that they enmeshed in unsupported
bonds. But the common everyday folks-GOd bless them
when they do get together and get really in earnest

BOND ELECTION WILLCARRY

The park bond election will carry if sentiment heard on
every side is criterion
1t hard to eradicate the suspicion from many minds
that the city hall bunch might have the handling of the
funds and of course if this true to the slightest
tent would be hard to convince people that the bonds
should be voted But since The Press made thorough
study of conditions and told about EN- of the doubts
have been cleared away.
The city halno branch of it. mayor council board of
public works, health janitors ofce-has anything to
do with it. The park commission will decide the plans
and see that the park work is done.
Not red penny will be spent boulevards speed
ways. That's in to another false objection being
made to the bond issue.
Vote for the bonds, and Spokane will be the
garden spot of the Inland Empire, and when she has
100000 or 100000 people, within the next four five
years she will be able to mother her children in the right
choked yards.

GREEK KING is A
FISTIC MASTER

ATHENS, Greece, April 26-It is
not generally known that in by
gone days, while still a prince Of
Denmark, King George took part
in most of the leading athletic re-
unions of Europe under the name
of George Papadoulos.' He has
several champion belts for boxing,
one of which he won after he be-
came king of Greece.
His majesty has been in the
habit of spending several months
of the year in the leading water
ing places of France and Ger
many, no one being aware of it.
One morning he went early to
a kursaal with giant Danish
hound. The authorities declined
to allow the beast on their prem

was in town and his absence from
the kursaal was commented upon.
The management sent a courteous
message to the august visitor beg
ging to know the reason.
Briefly came the reply:

unusually bright for commerce,
finance and industry.
Science should be immense

the best dealings in this time
may be had with those of lofty

Success is the dominating

New undertakings Of all
kinds are under especially good

Industrial workers are likely

ways Of doing things, or by de-
vising new appliances or tools.
Office workers, and especial
Iy women, should be on the
alert for chances to find new
channels of business, new de-

There is an opportunity also

people would be f1ocking to the farms.
As a matter of fact. even with improved
conditions on the farm it is most diff
ficuIt to get people to stay there. The
scarcity of labor is the despair of the
farmer today. We pay 40 per cent higher
wages than we paid ten years ago. and
we can hardly get men enough at any
price to run a farm as it should be done.
DO you think this has nothing to do
with the higher price of farm products?
Do you really think the pure food law
has increased the price of horses and
mules? 1t seems to me the law-whch

Under Municipal Control.

\ third line is running under municipal
control between the town of Gmund,
lower Austria, and the railway station. a
distance of about two and a half miles.
Each car makes an average of thirty
four round trips day between $50 am.
and 10 pm. The average traffic is seven
and one-half passengers per trip. The
cars have already run nearly 10000 miles
without needing a single repair, and the
rubber tires remain in excellent condi-
ton. According to special agreement
with the. town and the postal service,
there is a sliding scale of fare according
to distance. the minimum being one and
one-ffth 'and the maximum 4 cents for
the entire distance. The traffic at Gmund
has never been interfered with by the
Wea Their, not even by SnOwStormS.
There is a fourth line in operation at

and fifth at Presburg. Hungary. where
So miles of line with four wires, six pas

The cost of running the cars in Vienna.

Mr. Heingartner, American vice consul

scription of the apparatus:
The current is taken from the over
head positive wire by flexible cables and
not by a pole, like the ordinary overhead
trolley. Instead of an undermining
wheel or overrunning shoe. the head or
actual current collector is a frame with
two small grooved wheels on each side.
One pair of wheels runs on the positive.
