Father Parker secured work at

the family became known to the
neighbors, she did all the work In

In 1883 the only jail in Spokane
was near where the Elks' temple
now stands and 1t was made OF
two-by-fours spiked together. One
day farmer was put In jail for
drunk and In the morning before
the jailer came around he was
seized with a violent thirst and
wanted to get out. He pried off
some of the roof boards and es-
capped, and on his return to the jail
spent two hours In looking up the
jailer so that he could get back in.
Along about 1SS3-s4 the farmers,
when they spent the night in Spo-
kane, camped on the site of the
present Auditorium building and
near the north end of the Cres-
cent store. There they built fires
and camped in army fashion, max

WHITE SLAVERY
IN SPOKANE

All were employed for immoral pur-
poses. When the girls are retained
for few days they are shipped to
another stand, in order to have a
continual change of victims.
The girl in the Post street place
has admitted to two parties sent
there by The Press the life she is
forced to lead. She is recently
from the country, just past II, and
her father does not know where she
Is or the life she leads.
Yet these hellish conditions have
been from time and again reported
In The Press, and there is no police
action until some one thrusts 1t I'M
der the nose of the acting chief
of police in such manner that he
can no longer dodge action.

RIPLEY NOT A PESSlMIST
Says the Railroad Situation Is Very
Satisfactory.

New York, July 9-President f. p
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe does not hold the pessimistic
views which have lately been ex-
pressed in railroad circles with regard
to the outlook for the future, with
special reference to the recent rate
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission.
Mr. Ripley, who is here to attend a
meeting of the Atchison directors,
said:
''The situation so far as the roads
are concerned is very satisfactory.
The crops in all the territory south of
the north line in Nebraska are in
good condition. / look forward to a
large years business. In the Atchi-
sons territory general business is in
creasing. Our gross earnings have in
creased month by month.
Public sentiment in the Southwest
is not so set against the railroads as
one would be led to believe from the
attitude of the representatives of that
section of the country"

"No efforts will be made to show
the pictures in any city or town where
adverse legislation has been taken. 1t
will not be necessary to get out in
functions, for this combine does not
intend to buck the law in any city or
state. We do not think these pictures
are any different from those which
have been displayed of the Johnson
Burns and Johnson-Ketchel fights, but
If we find that popular sentiment is
against them we will lay them on the
shelf and not show them at all"

Lincoln. Neb., July 9.-Twitting
Colonel Roosevelt for his speech at
London and declaring him to be the
leading imperialist of the day W. J.
Bryan says in his Commoner:
"It must be remembered that Mr..
Roosevelt is himself an imperialist of
the most pronounced type. He be-
lieves that the people of Egypt need
a ruler from the outside. He is Ham
iltonian in his ideas. He divides so
ciety into two classes--'the rulers and
the to be ruled He takes the aristo-
crat view of society. that the masses
need a guardian and he is not only
willing TO be that guardian, but chafes
under legislative restraints. 1t Is
pretty natural, too, that he criticises
kindness and leniency in dealing with
subject peoples.
"Had Mr.. Roosevelt contented him
self with denouncing assassination as
a means of reforming government he
would have given expression to an al
most universal sentiment; had he
praised those features Of British pol
icy which seemed best to him 1t might
have been construed as a courteous
return for an extended hospitality;
but when he launched forth into an
unqualified enforcement of the prin.
ciple of colonialism he spoke for him
self only, not for the American peo
pie"
