THE FUTILE CRY OF PEACE

"Cry peace, peace where there is no peace
There are large numbers of folks political and folks
official who otng about this these latter DAYS
crying Peace, Peace!
The council is crying it, hoping that labor is satisfied
Ihe mayor is crying 1t hoping that some personal po
cal pets in the police department won't get their deserts
Every little office holder hiding behind the wall of
sbusiness interest," is moaning it.
But to be right frank about it, there isn't going to be
any peace IN tins town until the crooks out OF office
This is not time for parey hot air. mea y-moutl
ed surrng of sad conditions.
When women cry and tell their ptful tales of police
brutality and ndecency before investigating committees
behind closed doors and start at the very mention of
poiceman's name, there can be no peace
hen the uglest rumOrs current corner
regards the majority of public officials there be
peace
Neither chamber Of commerce. the big business in
terests nor the real estate agents. the hired editors
the police the real estate SPECTATORS nor any
other agency caring for the job and the cash than
for the good name of Spokane head ths movement
off, and the man is fool who thinks it.
This is time for straight from the shoulder talking,
and this paper going to do that of Grating every
day until conditions change.
There is not going to be whtewash Of the jail invest
CATION that Sullivan suit against The Press not going
to be postponed and made farce Of the Woman club and
labor and the German societies and the farmers and the
county good forces not going to be fooled
and muzzled and shunted off the main track of reform
And the public official who tries to play the game of the
gang against the people is going not only lose his job
but he going lose his official reputation and his future
chance of political preferment
The people of this town nightly awake. This paper
wake them up some more NO Official can play
the DID, old that has long dsgraced Spokane and
get away with it.
This is straight tip to the practical politicians and the
police. Spokane is wide awake and mad and he is an
adolescent idiot who doesn t know it.
This town is going to have three police marons and
terminal rates, the roads going to stay out This
town going to have the right of free speech and the free
press This town is going to have honest economical gov
ernmen if it has to fire every the present job by
the recall and this town is going to have chief of
police who is real man, at home and abroad.
Chew that over, you fellows who have been living from
the public pap for twenty years and how You like it,
And it true, every word of it.

ADVANCE COMMISSION PLAN

Spokane has become utterly tired of tomfooery in pub
lie office She isn't going to stand for it any longer, in
any branch of municipal government Citizens just now
are demonstrating how determined and how aggressive
they be regarding affairs at the city hail. and they
stand perfectly ready to hand out few examples Of
the they feel and act, when the necessity arises
It's about time to take action on the plans
for the adoption of the municipal form of city government
The proposed charter has been ably prepared at much
cost of time and energy by the committee appointed by
the mayor. That committee has submitted the charter
to the mayor 1t is time for the mayor to pass upon
lit and aid in the calling of special election for the seec
ton of fifteen feeholders, who will draw up the final
charter for submission to the people
sary The preliminary charter good one. Some people
may be of the opinion that the mayor should be elected
separately and constitute another member of the commits
sion but it to The Press that the idea of eecng the
commissioners and then letting them select of their
number to be the chairman, mayor, is pretty good
Anyway this part Of the proposition can be settled
finally by the freehoders.
SO let's ask the mayor TO get busy the commission
plan again. He has done excellent work it far just
las he did the proper thing in recommending the raise in
the wage scale and The Press desires nothing than
to see good work maintained all along the line.

The large cat furred man hur.

could ease his sorrow Finally he

THE cURFEW AT CHERTSEY
Romantic Association Of a Pretty Eng
fish Village with the Sun
down Bell.

At shutdown the little Surrey village
Of Chertsey will re-echo to the toll
ing of the curfew bell, which, in ac-
cordance with ancient custom, Is
sounded every evening from Septem-
Der 20 to March 25.
1t is appropriate that Chertsey
should thus maintain the custom, for
the village has interesting "curfew"
associations. The curfew bell which
hung in Chertsey abbey tolled for the
funeral of Henry VI, murdered In the
Tower Of London and hurried to
Chertsey to be buried without priest
clerk, torch or taper, singing or say
ing"
The abbey was also the scene o.
the romantic legend which relates
how Blanche Heriot, to save hel
lover Neville, nephew Of Warwick the
Kingmaker, condemned to die at sun
down, climbed the curfew tower ant
held the clapper Of the great bell. Thu
story, always popular locally, attained
wide fame when Mr.. Clifford Harrison
embodied 1t in his poem THE Legept
of Chertsey." Since then reciters' au
diences have probably had their fill Q
it.--Westminster Gazette.

CHAPTER Vi.
The Raseless Fabric.

True philosophy is ascetic. 1t may
best be practiced under conditions IN
which the material is In allegiance. 1t
exalts the spiritual. 1t is distinguished
by indifference to environment There
is nothing SO fatal to it's profession as
extravaganza. Frugality is to the
philosopher what modesty Is to 9
woman-the essential thing without
which 1t and she cease to be.
The atmosphere into which Rather
inc Brenton was suddenly plunged by
her bold step was the very a~ntithesis
Of these requirements. 1t was un'
healthy, and like unhealthy airs II
bred disaster. She had been trained
to independence of conditions, TO dis
regard of circumstances, as well as tc
disdain of restraint; but there was
that within her surroundings which
from her first experience Of them, she
felt instinctively to be vitiating, which
tended to deprave, which precludet
the exercise Of clear, un~infiuencet
mentality. Especially in her case wa
this true since the luxury with which
| she had been surrounded appealed 81
subtly to the preponderant, and
must be admitted, immortal feminin'

tradition in personality and the won
an who had been so loved stood be-
fore her. Her eyes fell again upon
the man and the dream was broken.
She pieced together now all that
she had of him, smiling as She did so
at the thought Of certain strange stor-
les she had read wherein men of mar.
velous deductive powers had brought
to solution problems which appeared
as impossible of detection as this pre-
scented to her.
John Revell Charnock, evidently the
| father of the man of the island, had
married one M. P. T. on the 10th of
September, 1869. Perhaps within a
year afterward this John Revell Char
mock, assuming him, IS was likely, to
have borne his fathers name, vas
born. The best English stock in the
colony were Massachusetts and Vir-
ginia. The stern piece of the boat
borne the name Of a Virginia river and
Of a Virginia town. The man before
her was a Virginian, therefore. Say
he was born in 1871, it would make
him rs years old, in accordance with
her first guess. The father and
mother, possibly ruined by the results
Of the civil war, had embarked on
some vessel to seek a fortune in a new
land. Something had happened to
the ship and the woman, the little boy
and the dog had landed in some way
upon these shores alone after some
horrible voyage, perhaps like that she
had passed through. The boy must
have been five or six years old, else
he would have died being deserted
The woman had, indeed, died, and the
dog with her, and left the lad alone
Alone he had been for a score 'oi
years on that island. What watchfu
Providence? Stop! She be
, lieved in no Providence. What strange
mysterious fate kept him from the
fate of the other two, had preserved
. him alone . . . for her?
So she wove a history out Of he
/ treasure trove for this man, a histor!
} which at least satisfied her and which
the more she reasoned about it ant
the more she tested it, seemed absc
! lutely adequate and entirely correct
Well, she had opportunity now ant
> she was glad. She faced the futur'
) calmly, recognizing her chance an
her work and set about with syste
matte method, order and persistence
to teach this man what 1t was to be
r human being, to give him, as rapid
:, as she might communicate 1t n a
Q he might receive 1t, all the learnin
she possessed, to compensate him wit
no further delay for those % years

Was it for this she had been traine
and educated at great cost OF tim
and money and effort? That she beln
a woman should give it all to thi
d one man without money and withor
