LANGUAGE UNITES.
Fourteen Different NationaIities
Brought Together in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-In the La Sale
avenue Baptist church of which
Rev. ]. Y. Montague is pastor next
Monday evening, men and women of
fourteen different nationalities, re-
united by one common tongue, Eng
lish, viii gather for a religious meet
ing which probably has had no fore
runner in Chicago, or perhaps in
America.
Fourteen different languages will be
spoken or rather sung, for all the adj
dresses of the evening are to be in
English, but there will be a hymn
rendered in every language represent
ed at the meeting.
The program has been arranged by
the Baptist council of Chicago to
show the cosmopolitan character of
the work done by the council. 1t will
consist of a brief work in English
by a representative of each of the ma
lions and the singing of the hymns.
The languages are as follows:
Chinese African, Hungarian, Bohe-
milan. German. Swedish, Norwegian,
Persian, Lettish, italian, Polish, Fin
nish, Danish, English.
Each of the ministers is an active
Baptist preacher with a charge in
Chicago and all will be accompanied
by delegations from their congrega-
tiOns.

FILE THEIR ANSWER.
Scott County Commissioners Tell Why
They Resist Bonds.

The board of county commissioners
of Scott county filed their answer to-
day in the supreme court in the man
damuS suit recently brought by the
Garden City, Gulf & Northern railroad
to compel the board to issue $1,000
of railroad aid bonds voted by Scott
City township last August and $21,OOO
of Valley township railroad aid bonds
voted last December in these respective
townships in Scott county.
The answer of the board or county
commissioners sets out at great length
the history of these bond elections. 1t
is alleged by the board that the rail-
road promoters raided and harasSed
Valley township for two years, annoy
ing the voters by calling election after
ship voted down the proposed railroad
aid every time until at last they grew
weary of the contest and let the bonds
carry, relying upon the proposition OF
law that only two elections can be
called on any one railroad aid propo-
sition, and that all subsequent cleo
lions, including the seventh, when the
bonds were permitted to be carried,
were illegal.
Another defense and one that is also
set up as to the Scott City township
bonds is that the bonds were only vot-
ed upon condition that the railroad
should be completed and in operation
together with depot and station and
shipping facilities. including tracks,
stock yards and legal crossings over
section lines in each township. All to
be finished on or before Dec. 81. 1903;
and the board of county commissioners
allege that neither in Valley township
nor in Scott City township was there a
depot. station. station agent or ticket
agent or switch track or stock yard on
Dec. 81, 1909, and that a regular train
service had not been established and
in operation and that an attempt to
run the first passenger train into Scott
City on the evening of Dec. 81. 1909.
was a failure on account of the sharp
ness of the railroad curve and the
crudeness of the roadbed laid by the
company in an attempt to get within
| the time limit of the bonds. Other
technical defenses are set up by the
board, but the nub of the controversy
as the board sees it. is that the COM
pany was racing against time and lost

tory until his school training brought
it to your notice?
Too many parents do not let their
children practice what they learn at
school. The girl learns to darn at
school but the mother never thinks to
have her darn her own dress or hose
at home. Let her try her new recipe
even if 1t isn't what you have been
cooking for the last ten years.
1 notice, however, that the parents
who do the most training at home and
send the best material are not the ones
who are doing the most complaining.
AS an "on-looker'' now, I think the
results of school training are wonder
full and if little more could be done
in the homes we could expect much
more from our boys and girls.

COUNTY RING

IN charge for 10 years. Later Stat
ford was indicted by the grand jury
and acquitted by the use of methods
that would startle the people of
Spokane county were they known
The anti-graft board of county
commissioners have held a firm
check on the expenditures of the
sheriff's office, the prosecutors
office, the clerks office and every
county official or employee that
heretofore expended the money of
the people at will.
WHY PHILLIPS WAS DEFEATED
The ring has ordained that this
restraint on their methods by an
honest board of county commission
ers must end. For this reason, the
gang went into the primaries and
defeated Joe Phillips and Ben New
ell, the two men pledged to an hon.
est regime of the board of county
commissioners, and placed in their
stead two men that can be con-
trolled by the machine.
The people are beginning to
awake to the situation. They realize
that the only hope to head off the
undisputed reign of the ring for two
years is to elect the nominees on
the democratic ticket for county
commissioners, sheriff, prosecuting
attorney and county, clerk. They
are clean men, of unquestioned in
tegrity, and will run the county gov
eminent in favor of the people and
not of the ring.
Turn in and put your shoulder to
the wheel. The democrats and in
surgents in this county campaign
are making a fight for the people
against one of the most arrogant
machines that ever bossed the af-
fairs of county of the size of Spo-
kane.
Bury politics this time; as you
did in the primaries, in the choice
of United States senator, and
right and not might will triumph
at the court house and justice will
again rule there.

AZURE seemed to indicate an ex-
travaganza of some magnitude, but
mere quantity can never atone for
the lack of quality in anything, and
the company in question is no ex-
ception. Advertised as musical,
the production was conspicuous
rather by the absence of good mu-
sic than otherwise. Only one song
had anything resembling a catchy
air to it and that was They All
Looked Alike to Mabel" while IT'S
Just the Same Old Story was the
most attractively sung. The cho-
rus is not good, good voices being
entirely absent with possibly one
exception. The scenery is below

vim and snap that determines sue

SAYS MERRITT HAS
INTERESTS BACKING

William l.. LaFollette, insurgent
and progressive candidate for con-
gress in this district, on the repub-
!ican ticket, has a good deal of the
outspoken independence and lack of
fear of the big corporate interests
that made his cousin, the great La
Toilette of Wisconsin, famous.
w. l.. LaFollette brands his demo
cratic opponent, II. d. Merritt, for
mer right of way agent for the Spo-
kane & Inland, as candidate
backed by the interests. He says
the forces of Jim Hill, now owner of
the Inland, will fall in behind Mer-
rift and that every other big cor
poration that wants favors at Wash
ington or contamination of the old
regime will do the same thing.
This LaFollette says, accounts for
the well organized. businesslike
campaign that Merritt is proposing
to wage in the Third district.
