Will Lc@aliZc Restricted Districts.

1t seems that our city is not tn,
only district that is undergoing
trouble with reference to the so
called social evil" Wherever the
subject is mooted, the same difficulty
is experienced OF how to deal with
the evil with justice and to avoid
other evils Of acknowledged magni-
tude.
The matter in Eastern Washing
F ton has assumed proportions which
VIII doubtless make it a measure for
adjustment in the Legislature.
Many of the solohs have announced
i determination to empower cities OF
the higher grade to place under reg
ulation u prescribed district for I'M
fortunate women, AID we find that
many ministers of the Gospel favor
this movement as the only reasonable
solution Of the problem.
The deplorable conditions that
have resulted at Spokane since the
municipal authorities hive attempt
ed to put the lid on the red-light dis
trict, have shown that it has only
served to change conditions without
in any degree suppressing vice. In
many instances proprietors of hotels
have been put to much trouble and
have inflicted serious wrong by re-
fusing customers that we're wholly
respectable, and on the other hand
they have innocently accepted people
fresh from the dive. In some in
stances libel suits are only withheld
to avoid the publicity it would give
those who have cause for a grieve-
ment.
A portion of the Spokane Coun-
Gil, the Police Judge and the Mayor
favor restricted district. and will
support the endeavor for authority
to provide one by law. 1t will thus
be seen that Mr.. Orrick's effort to
drive out" has probably been the
means of promoting intelligent
thought on this hitherto forbidden
subject, and led to the only rational
means OF providing against an evil.
that has at least some mitigating, il
not redeeming arguments, to be said
of it..
Even the menace of a change in
this city has led to several vacant
store buildings, and at this holiday
season an object lesson is being af'
forded of what we may expect if ia.
naticism should rule.

First that the service is not what 1t

that the proposed company thinks 1t

1t feels quite sure that the alleged

pany is due to a nigardly policy that
might have been bettered by a more

the assumption that the people are to

UNCLE SAM sets q bad example in
the pay of scrub-women at the Ma
tional capitol. by imposing double
duty at the same low wage that has
prevailed--$20 per month. In the
interest of economy they are now
compelled to scrub and keep tidy
eight instead of four rooms. A
Washington surgeon says that their
work makes them liable to certain
disease due to the constant kneeling
on the damp floors and the strained
and unnatural position while scrub
bling. The union men are said to be
greatly exercised over the fact that
the Cutting Of wages should begin
with the scrub-women, the poorest
paid government employees. These
women are not members of the union,
and so they have meekly accepted
the situation and are now doing
double duty for $40 a month.

1T Has BEEN AND WILL BE.-Dr.
Guy Carlton Lee, a lecturer Of ma

NJ. c. A. at Tacoma, observed there
never was a time in the history of
any nation or people that there was
no unrest or discomfort, and strug-
giles between the classes and masses;
that these struggles and the discon-
tent are conditions, looking to a
higher development of humanity.
Oregon, in the matter of discomfort,
is having her inning just now.
Whether this is the forerunner of
better conditions may be a problem,

THEY HAVE WAITED Too LONG.
1T is estimated that in extending
the width of East Sixth street from
sixty feet as originally contemplated
to eighty feet will increase the cost
fourteen thousand dollars in the as
sessment upon the property contigu-
Gus to the street. The gravel bed in
the center of tho street is thirty feet
in width leaving on each side about
seventeen feet as parking strip be-
tween the sidewalk and the gravel
bed. Some of the resident owners
claim they are more concerned about
the presence of mud and weeds in
these parking strips than the extra
expense; that to obviate the difficulty
it may become necessary to widen
the gravel bed within the two years.
The contractors, Mills brothers, have
stated q street sixty feet in width
would have been preferable, as the
city wanted the work done in the
first instance. Some of the resident
owners assert nobody is to be
blamed but themselves by not get
ting in earlier and insisting that the
work should be carried on according
to the original plan. Many an own
er has been prejudiced in such af-
fairs by waiting too long before get
ting q move on himself.

PRESIDENT Taft. in his message,
recommends that the salaries Of Fed
eral judges be raised. United States
Supreme Judges. he advises should
receive an annual salary of $17 1000,
the Chief Justice $l7 800. and other
Judges of the inferior courts from
900 to 5000. He assigns as a
reason that, owing to the present
high cost Of living, these judges
ought to have the opportunity of lay
ing up something for the benefit of
their families at the time of their
death. Can this corpulent states
man realize the situation OF common
laborers in Olympia, who work at a
daily wage of SLIGO, doing the hard
est kind of labor, and who are CON-
PEELED to pay thirty cents per pound
for bacon? Will the time ever
come when the rights of deserving in
dividuals will be recognized? If his
tory teaches any lesson, it is that the
precepts of truth and justice cannot
forever be infringed with IMMUNITY.

Servere Winter Predicted.

Old timers declare that it is
going to be a long, cold winter.
Their representation is based on
general weather observation ex-
tending over considerable periods
of residence at the head of the
lakes, and upon the woodman's lore,
which is concerned with the habits
Of birds and animals and the ap-
pearance of the forests and streams.
But we shall not know about this
matter for sure until the Martin
county musk rats have built their
houses. The style and size of$these
habitations will lie reliable and to
the mind of the old settler a
never failing indication of the kind
of a winter we shall have.
The fur-bearing animals of the
forests are getting their new crops
Of fur earlier this year than usual.
This is sign of an early and hard
winter. Even the prosaic horse
shows this bit of horse sense, and
is beginning to sprout unusually
thick tufts of hair in preparation
for cold weather of unusual sever
ity.
Another sign is the sudden and
early flight of night hawks toward
the south. For over a week these
creatures have been fitting toward
warmer climate, sometimes in
noticeably large numbers. The
flight of all birds so 1thward will
probably be early this fall, the
wood-lore folk aver.
And further more, the hot sum-
mer with its lack Of rain, is taken
as another sure indication that
there will he much snow, much cold
weather, and a long winter during
the rigid months that are approach
ing.-Martin County Sentinel.

and give the weeds chance to
terminate before cold weather and
