ANNE MORGAN HAS
NEW CHARITY IDEA
VIII Aid Girls Ambitious to Shine in
Literature, Art or Music-Bureau
Is to Be Started.

Interested an helping poor but ambi-
tious men and women, Miss Anne Nor
gan, the daughter of J. p Morgan, has
had her endeavors focused to definite
action by the sad case of Miss Vera
Fitch, the California girl, who tried to
commit suicide by shooting herself at
New York hotel recently through her
failure to win literary renown. The
case of Miss Fitch has ramifying ele-
ments which are in accord with an
elaborate program which Miss Morgan
has outlined. Miss Morgan IS idea is to
help young girls who are led into New
york through ambition to shine in the
realms of literature, art or muic.
Many sad cases have been brought to
public attention, and the girls have
been lured to New York as the goal of
achievement. New York, to them. has
been the candle and they, like moths,
nave huttered into the flame while try
ing to win distinction in their accepted
lines of endeavor.
1t is said by friends that Miss Nor
gan has in contemplation the establish
ment of bureau in this city which may
be sought by ambitious girls to learn
the intrinsic worth of their labors. For
instance, the girl who leaves her home
and seeks to achieve success in literary
pursuits or in music or In the drama
may have her aim criticized first by a
jury of competent men and women to
learn whether she is really fitted to
compete in the great race for success.
1t has also been suggested, but not
confirmed, that Miss Morgan may seek
the advice and kindly counsel of Judge
Ben Lindsey of Colorado before putting
into complete consummation her plan
to help poor girls.

of line, is fourth.
For the 10 months these four rail-
roads are shown by an official report
on railway earnings to have enjoyed a
total net gain of $1,s00,sO2 above all
expenses, as against total of $652,0O7
for the corresponding period ending

No Bleached Flour in This State

There seems to be among the trade
some uncertainty as to the stand of the
state dairy and food department on
the question of bleaching flour. Some
fifteen months ago, in keeping with the
federal ruling, notice was given by this
department to stop bleaching flour in
the state of Washington. Again, at
the convention of Northwest Food Off
Gals at Boise, Idaho, in April, 1910, a
resolution was adopted, concurred in by
the department of this state, that the
matter of bleached flour, in the states
there represented, should rest until such
time as the federal case then in the
courts be tried. This case has now
been fully tried out before a Jury in
the United States district court in Kan
sas City and the. government has won.
The statute of the state of Washington
IS identical with the federal law under
which the above prosecution was
brought; therefore,
Notice is hereby given that, in &C.
cordance with the food and drugs act
of the state of Washington, no more
flour bleaching or sale of bleached -four
within the state of Washington shall
take place until such time as the fed
eral case recently tried shall have been
appealed to the United States supreme
court and a final decision rendered In
accord with this notice prosecutions will
follow violations of the law. Provided,
that 30 days from August goth, 1910.
will be allowed for the disposition of
bleached flour now on hand
Dated at Davenport, Wash, August
goth, 1910.

MAX
A New Romantic Novel by the Author
of 1.-THE Masquerader
By Katherine Cecil Thurston.

~ AA"1hOAA 1C SCSi4 L nul SbOus
In "Max,' as in sThe Masuuera-
der,' emotions of the deepest sort are
woven into plot so amazing that per-
haps no writer but Katherine Cecil
Thurston could handle it successfully
But the delicate art of "The Masquera-
DER in interest and sympathy triumphs
equally in "Max." Here again the
author has made wonderful use of a
powerful situation.
1t is the story of beautiful young
woman who first wins a man s affections
while masquerading as boy, and then
wins his love while masquerading as
the boys sister. She is a Russian prin-
cess, who has run away to escape a
loveless marriage. The story of "Max'
begins on the night express from Berlin
to Paris. Among the passengers is
Russian boy, queerly dressed and evil
IDENTIFY poor. In the same compartment
with him are three men, whose curiosity
he seems anxious to avoid. Two of
them set him down at once as an an
archist, but the third, Edward Blake
cosmopolitan Irishman-is STRANGELY
drawn to him. When they arrive in
Paris Blake stops the boy and questions
him, but is coolly repealed. Later chance
throws them together again in the Place
de la Concorde. The story of "Max"
is unfolded with breathless suspense.

7AF7'S PLAN LIKED
ROOSEVELT SAYS TARIFF Is
Being HANDLED right.
Regulation Under a Commission. ua
Thinks, Will Be a Great Success
Outlines His Position on the Subject
Roosevelt Made Two Big Speeches
on His Way Through -Four States.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 4.-Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Saturday broke his ST.
lence in regard to the Taft administra.
ton. He heartily commended one
phase of it, although he said nothing
that could be construed as reference
to the administration as whole.
He confined his remarke to the worl,
which President Taft has done for the
establishment of the principle of regu-
lating the tariff through a commission
and to the president IS success in con.
Quoting negotiations with foreign pow
ers for the application of the new tariff
law.
Colonel Roosevelt also outlined clear
ly his position in regard to the tariff.
He reiterated his belief in the need of
regulation of duties by means of CON-
mission and declared that the tariff
should be in the interest of the work
ing man and not for the benefit of a
comparatively few wealthy men.
81 believe in such a measure of pro-
lection as will equalize the cost of pro.
duction here and abroad. That is, as
will equalize the labor cost,'' said he.
81 believe in such supervision of the
workings of the law as will make GER
tain that the protected industry gives
that difference to the man that we are
most anxious to protect-the working
man-and if 1 find it is not giving it,
L would take off the tariff duty from
that particular thing"
Colonel Roosevelt made two speeches
on the tariff Saturday. The first, de-
livered at Sioux City, Iowa, contained
his reference to the Taft administra-
ton. In the second speech, made here,
he amplifed his first on the tariff, de-
claring that although the Payne-Ald-
rich law had given rise to grave dissat-
isfaction the fault lay with the sys-
tenn under which tariff laws are made
rather than with the men who made
them.
1t was in the presence of Senator
Dolliver and Representatives Hubbard
of Iowa and Martin of South Dakota
that the former president made the
first statement concerning the Taft ad-
ministration that has passed his lips
