INN GIVES
JOBS TO 5000 MEN
1T Is a Front Avenue Y. M.
G. A." Says Manager
Smith.

The free employment office of
the Ondawa Inn, the workingmen's
home at the corner of Stevens
street and Front avenue, made a
remarkable record during the year
1909. According to the records,
which are on file at the inn, no
less than 5007 men were given en-
ployment, without cost to them
selves. during the year. October,
when 500 men were supplied with
work, was the banner month.
NOT OBLIGED TO PATRONizE.
In order to receive the benefits
Of the free employment office, the
men were not obliged to take lodg
ing at the hosiery. Most of the
jobs were, of course, of a tenn
porary nature, although numbers
of them were permanent positions.
The inn does the service Of sort
of a Front avenue Y. M. G. A., &C
cording to Frank Smith, the man
ager OF the institution. 1t provides
a place where the men can rest,
read or smoke, without the neces-
sity OF taking lodging. A library
is maintained at the inn, through
the work of number OF Spokane
ladies. A place is also provided for
letter writing, the writing materials
being furnished by the inn.
MANY NON-PATRONS.
On recent Sunday, Manager
Smith made an estimate of the
number of woriingmen who availed
themselves of the privileges of the
inn. BY a careful estimate, he fig
ured that over 1000 men made
some use of the inn during that
day. At that time there were but
$50 regular dodgers.
Our object is to give a large
ministry to as large a number of
workingmen as possible" said Mr..
Smith in discussing the work Of
the institution. 1--WE are not here
to advance any special theories.
, Our object is rather to meet a
practical need, which, no one can
deny, exists"

81 think The Spokane Press
should be commended for the atti-

Funk when interviewed as to his
attitude for an all night service,
which is being advocated by The
Press.

But look at the utter hollowness
Of this. Great Britain imports few
manufactures. She exports far
more of these than she imports.
Take raw cotton, used so largely
in her Lancashire mills. When
that cotton Is turned into manufac-
lures, it supplies not alone the
British market, but it is sent all
over the world. So that the cotton
manufacturing industry is g.gan-
tic one already. Do the lords act
ually think they can make British
workmen believe they can build up
that industry still more by taxing
the raw cotton that goes over there
from the United States, for in

Taxing American raw cotton used
in the Lancashire cotton factory
would mean dearer cotton. If the
manufacturers think that that
would be good thing why do they
shut down their mills for season
every time there is an attempt in
America to corner cotton and force
the price very high? When the
mills shut down certainly wages do
not increase.
The proposal is humbug. pure
and simple. And while they fool
the workman, they intend to rob
him. For the things they are alb
solutely certain to put taxes upon,
If they get the chance, are food
stuffs-grains chiefly. Great Brit
ain raises only a small portion of
the grain it consumes. A penalty,
in the form of a tax, will be placed
upon all imported grain. forcing the
price of grain in Great Britain up.
Food will cost more Will that be
a blessing to the British workman?
So that really what the lords Of

stone in exchange for dearer food.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.--While the
market has the appearance of being
slightly less professional. it cannot
be denied that some of the large
traders are still the chief factors
in bringing about the up-and-down
movements. and this is likely to
continue for some time longer, with
supporting orders appearing from
time to time when the bears get
too aggressive.-Henry Clews & Co.

Legally married Indian wives pay
no more social penalty than do their
white husbands. Generally, the little
red hen sticks to her home and does
not go out with her white husband for
a social evening as often as would a
wife of her own race. But. this Is
largely a matter of Indian tempera-
nent.
AS for the half-blood children, as
they grow up they are asked to the
country dance or the picnic with the
white young men and women of the
community. Some Of the handsome.

as much demand at social functions as
are those whose parents both belong
to the superior race"
In the schools, too, the half-breed
children mingle with the children of
white families on equal terms and
suffer little, If anything, from race
prejudices or preferment.
