SHORT
SHAVINGS

Horror was writ large on the fea-
lures of the night hotel clerk, who
had recently arrived from Maine
and accepted employment in local
hostelry, as he entered the office
carrying a glass in either hand ex'
tended at arms length.
The clerk had been sent to a
couple of rooms on the upper floor
that had been occupied during the
day, to ascertain the condition they
were in. He showed the glasses very
near the face of the landlady as he
approached the desk and in awe
struck tones asked:
'What'll l do with 'em?"
"Why, just rinse them out with
water and put them back in the
rooms where they belong" said the
matter of fact landlady.
But there has been whisky In
those glasses protested the clerk
so l should infer" quoth the
landlady, "but as it does not appear
to have been whisky that conflicted
in any way with the provisions OF
the pure food law and as the glasses
appear to be still sound, it might be
just as we'll to rinse them out and
return them to the rooms"
With many shakings of the head
the clerk followed instructions.

SPOKANE RATE
HEARING DUE
THIS WEEK

A meeting of the Interstate Com
merce commission will be held
Thursday and Friday at Washing
ton to consider the question of the
readjustment of freight rates on
the Pacific coast. The Spokane
rate case, the Reno-Sacramento
controversy, the Portland and Sc
attic back-haul cases and the San
Francisco competitive zone will be
considered. In all of these cases
there is the one point involved that
was originally threshed out in the
Spokane rate case when it was
heard last fall, and that is the right
of the railroads to charge a higher
rate for a short haul than for a
long haul. This practice prevails
with all of the roads that cross the
mountains, the defense being that
the water competition on the Coast
compels it.
Cities like San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle that enjoy this un-
fair advantage in rates are fight
ing to retain it, claiming that in
order to be able to compete with
mountain cities differential in
their favor must exist

LONDON, April 25.--King Ed
ward is undergoing one of the
worst little RACES he ever had, ac-
cording to stories that reached
London today from France, where
the king is now on a health seek
ing jaunt. He is angered at Pre-
mier Asquith for dragging him
into the pending political struggle.
The premier, goaded by John
Redmond, the nationalist leader,
has placed the king in situation
where he must either be denounced
by conservatives as a wild eyed
anarchist or by liberals as reac-
tionary tyrant.
The premier's declaration in the
commons that he will demand the
creation of enough liberal peers to
make the lords a liberal body
caused all the trouble. If the king
creates the peers he will wreck
the conservative party and antag-
onize every vested interest in
England and make the possession
of title joke. If he refuses he
will admit himself an enemy of
progress, according to the liberals.
If the king refuses Asquith's de-
mand the premier will resign. 1t
will then be necessary for the king
to ask conservative leader Balfour

HOT Time LOOMING
UP IN STATE COP,

Senator Jones has now come out
into the open as the most confirmed
standpatter in the state He SAYS
that the tariff bill is all right, that
Tafts' administration is all right,
that Cannon and Aldrich are all
right and that everything connect
ed with the G. O. p. is all right.
Jones has sense enough to know
that If Poindexter goes to the SEN
ate, the gentleman from North Yak,
ina is a dead one politically, and of
course he is anxious to lend all
assistance possible toward punctur.
ing the Poindexter boom.
The plan now on foot is to have
the republican state committee
which meets at the Hotel Butler
at Seattle next Wednesday, to call
an early state convention for the
nomination of supreme court judges
in order that this convention
can go on record against progress.

STATE DEPARTMENT
IS MUCH WORRIED
(By United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April 25.-There
is concern at the state department
over the Chinese riots in Human
province because of the possibility
that the trouble may spread rapidly
at any moment.
1t is realized here that informa-
ton in the Chinese provinces tray
els with lightning like rapidity
from mouth to mouth. So, with
flaming anti-foreign posters being
posted in the streets of Chang Sha,
1t is readily understood what the
effect may be on the neighboring
districts.
Effective naval vessels in the vi
entity appear to be the United
States cruiser Cleveland, the Jap
anese gunboat Uji and the British
river gunboat Snipe.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.-Uncle
Sam is the only authorized whole
saler and retailer of liquor in pro-
hibition Georgia. And even Uncle
Sam wouldn't be permitted to sell
whisky if the state knew how to
prevent it, but the custom house
grounds in Atlanta are a national
domain and the state has no author
ity to make an arrest on that soil.
So every now and then, when rev.
enue officers have raided a few
moonshine stills and captured so
much wildcat" whisky that the
custom house basement overflows
and smells to heaven of corn
Ticker" Uncle Sam has an auction.
The announcement brings thirsty
crowd to bid on the liquor and it is
