Coming from Oyster Bay with the

Poindexters delight yesterday

issued after leaving Oyster Bay
showed that whatever matters
were discussed at the Sycamore
Hill conference, whether they
touched upon the Ballinger contrO-

ship or whether they were general,
had a pretty direct significance.
The insurgents here are pleased
with the interview. They declare
that it simply indicates that Roose-

his mind through any friendship for
the president.

NATIONAL CENTERS
ARE INTERESTED IN
P0|NDExTER CASE
GENERAL OPINION IS THAT ROOSEVELT IS AT
LEAST VERY FRIENDLY TOWARD
SPOKANE CONGRESSMAN
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, July 6.-PoIti-
clans here have had two distinct
shocks in tibet last two days. The
first came with the alleged Infor-
nation that former President
Roosevelt would support Miles
Poindexter Of Washington for the
United States senate. The second
came today when Roosevelt de-
clared that the first statement was
untrue.
That there is much political sig
nificance behind the conference be-
tween Roosevelt and Poindexter at
Oyster Bay yesterday all the pCli-
ticians agree. While Rooseve1t's
statement precludes the possibility
of his openly espousing the cause Of
Poindexter for the senate when the
contest for Senator Piles seat be-
gins, it is, nevertheless believed
that the endorsement of Poindexter
by the former chief executive will
have great influence.
AS a consequence, politicians are
reviewing Poindexter's record here
with considerable interest and the
Washington insurgent is the sub
ject of conversation generally in
political circles.
Poindexter is one Of the most
radical Of the insurgent group in
the house. He was one of the nine
republicans who voted to unseat
Speaker Cannon after the memoir

STANDPATTERS DON'T Think
tn, WILL ENDORSE P0)NDEXTER

Standpat republicans today
would not admit that Roosevelt
will come out for Miles Poindexter
for United States senator. They
could not see how he can afford
to, being that he and William H.
Taft are such good friends.
However, they will not LAY
down if T. R. does endorse Poin-
dexter, but will go on with the
fight for John l.. Wilson just the
same. A Roosevelt endorsement of
Poindexter and a speech or two in
this state would split the G. 0. p.
of Washington wide open. This is
what the standpat brethren are
afraid of, even more than the eff
feet on the senatorial contest.
Rufus Wilson, manager of the
lPoindexter campaign as conducted
by the Progressive Republican
league, thinks that Teddy" will
eventually line up with the insurg-
ents and progressiveS, and that this
means the success of PoindeXter in
the senatorial fight by almost a
Walk-aWay.
T. F. Waggoner, manager of the
Wilson campaign in Spokane coun-
ty, says: Teddy is too good a
republican to attempt to split up
the party in this state. He is one
OF the shrewdest politicians in the
country and knows that without or
ganizati0n nothing can be done. He
will think a long time before at
tempting to disrupt the party in
Washington or elsewhere"

Origin Of PIrewater.

When the Hudson's Bay Trading
company began its trading among the
Indians II was found that hy selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pei
tries.
The first whiskey or intoxicant Of
inferior quality was distilled in Eng
land and brought to America In large
barrels. but in transporting II over
land IL was found more convenient to
divide II into small kegs. The trad
ers soon became aware OF the fact that
by diluting the whiskey with water
more furs could be obtained. This
was practiced for some time, but the
Indians learned that good whiskey
poured on a fire would cause II to
fare up. whereas had the whiskey
been diluted the fire would be
quenched n was by this experiment
that the term fire water" became a
common word among Indians.
A chief who had experienced the
bad effects Of whiskey among his peo-
pie said Il was most certainly dis
titled from the hearts OF wildcats and
the tongues OF women. from the e.
fects IL produced.-From the Red
