The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-04-15

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-
from socialist orator on a soapbox
to the presidency of the local Civil
service commission within a few
busy years, is something of a
Transition.
Frank @. Mcdonald, who has
travelled this road, is still the stu
dent and ardent partizan of the
wage slaves" that he was when
he swore by Karl Marx and Gene
Debs and the ideal of the Coop
|erative commonwealth.
Still young man, he has be-
come convinced that the social
revolution must come through
the trade union movement, gradu-
al advance by the workers into
the political field, and a long hard
course of training in the science
of government.
From the emotional revolution
list he has changed slowly to the
scientist evolutionist. AS he puts
lit, ''the millennium is not Just
around the corner; as wage earn
ers we have got to fit ourselves
for self-government before we can
hold what we may gain"
That sort of philosophy has
made him the militant business
agent of the Tile Settlers union,
and business agent of the Build
ling Trades Council. No man in
the organization reads more deep
ly, nor appreciates the needs of
the workers more keenly, than
he.
1t was for this fact. quite as
much as for his services on the
platform, that Mayor Mccarthy
chose him to head the new civil
service commission. He is going
to make the civil service efficient
for the masses. Economy for the
city is spelled in low wages by
some public officials, but not by
Mcdonald.

THEY'RE LOADING WATER WAGON
FOR The FALL ELECTIONS
Prohibition Party VIII Double
Number of Candidates for Con-
gress and Stand ON q Progress
sive Platform-More Liquor
Selling.

CHICAGO, April 15.-They're
loading the water wagon for the
national congressional elections
this fall at the national headquar-
tiers of the prohibition party in
this city.
Chas. r. Jones, chairman of the
national committee, and Eugene
w. Chafin, candidate for president
in 1908, will speak in the south
during April. Jones and Aaron
Is. Watkins, 1908 candidate for
vice president, will begin a tour
of the Pacific coast in the middle
of June.
"Our party will put out twice as
many congressional candidates as
in any previous campaign" said
Jones. "Then we will concentrate
our forces wherever there is a
chance Of winning. We hope to
be represented in the next con-
gress.
"In the congressional campaign
we will advocate, among other
things, parcels post, election of
United States senators by direct
vote of the people, income and in
heritance taxes, regulation of cor
porations, tariff commission, en-
ployers' liability and child labor
laws, and conservation, and OPP
pose the licensing of the social
evil.
eve will fight for federal law
preventing the shipment of liquor
into dry territory. We talk about
dry territory, but there is not a
foot of ground in the country
which is even legally dry. There
is no spot to which liquor cannot
be shipped from another state"
To show the need to the dry
cause of such a law, Jones has
compiled figures which show that
the liquor traffic, which fell off in
1908 and 1909, is again on the
increase. The United States rev.
enue from spirits for the period
from June 80, 1909. to Jan. 81,
1910, went up 81 per cent over
the corresponding period of the
previous year. Receipts for beer,
which cannot be shipped into dry
territory as conveniently as
whisky, show an increase of but
ia per cent.

must HAVE new, EASILY WHITFIELD
WOOD FOR OgR LEAD PENCILS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April Is
Recent conferences of represef;
tatives of the department of agrt
culture with several lead pencil
manufacturers have resulted in
plans for testing new woods ia
find out whether they can be used
in the pencil industry. p
According to some of the manu-
facturers, the supply of red cedar,
which furnishes practically all the
wood for the annual output of
some 1916, 100000 pencils, will be
exhausted within five years. A
substitute must be found which
will whittle easily, which shall con-
tain large amount of material
free of knots, which shall not be
porous, nor spongy, nor unduly
hard, and which shall occur in suf-
ficient quantities to meet the man
ufacturers' demand.
In view of this the forest service
will cooperate In test of num-
Der of national forest woods.
Among those to be tried are
Rocky mountain red cedar, alliga-
tor Juniper, western juniper, red
wood, incense cedar, western ced-
ar, Port Oxford cedar, and Alaska
cypress. Wood specimens collect
ed from the national forests will
be sent to four leading manufac-
turers, who have agreed to make
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-04-15

fpencils of them.
4 The forest service is assisting
in this experiment because there
are on the national forests large
quantities of jumpers and cedars
which may be suitable for pencil
manufacture. For several of these
woods no very valuable use has
yet been discovered. Foresters
believe that in the future the
woods from the national forests
may, to considerable extent,
come into use to supplement the
diminishing stock of eastern
woods, the supply of which has
received no protection.

liquefaction of the blood of st. Jam

last Monday after prayers lasting So
minutes. The people interpret the
rapidity of the liquefaction as proof
that the peril from cholera is over.
In the great church at Naples there
are preserved the head and some OF
the blood of st.. Januarius. Bishop o.
Bonevento, who was beheaded for the
faith near Puteoli. The blood, as hls
acts relate, was gathered from the
ground by a poor woman at the time
Of the martyrdom and inclosed in two
small glass pitfalls. On several &C.
casions it is recorded. his relics were
carried in PROFESSIONS during erup-
tons of vesuvius.
The miracle of the Hquefaction Of
the blood of st. Januarius consists in
bringing the CONCEALED pieces near the
head, the phials being placed on the
altar and prayer being made.
After longer or shorter interval
the blood becomes liquid and flows.
The miracle has been witnessed by
scores of scientists and unbelievers
who have to admit its authenticity.
