THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1910

WHEN President Taft returns to
Washington, 1t Is said that be will be
advised by a number Of his slsnchest
supporters In Congress to absndon all
hope of securing the enactment OF the
measures on his legislative programme
and to sanction the prompt passage Of
the few remsinipg appropriation bills
and the immediate adjournment OF Con-
grsss, to be followed by 40 appeal to the
voters to decide between The sdmlnistra'
ton, standing squsrely on the repuoli-
can platform, aud a coalition OF insnr-
Reut, and democrats which has made
impossible the enactment Of any impor-
tsut legislation. Some of the presidents
supporters 10 Congress will tell him that
It may be possible to secure the enact
inert Of the mere shell Of an interstate
commerce. bill, With all Its vital proVi'
slons eiminstsd, end possibly one or two
other measures on the programme. All
will admit, however, the impossibility OF
ensc!iDg any thing like an adequate inter-
state commerce bill and the great i'm
probability OF securing the enactment Of
suy Of The other measures to which Mr..
TAFT stands specially committed. 1t Is
frankly admitted by leaders 10 both
houses OF Congress that 10 neither house
is there a republican msjor'ty todsy.
The leaders are wholly discouraged aud
dishesrteDtd aud they can foresee moth
ing bat Irtsrminsble defeat shesd, With
no commensurate return for The effort
expended. The insurgents Gre convinced
thst they are adding to their personal
prestige and promoting their individual
political fortunes by siding With The
democrats against Mr.. TAFT aud his ad-
mipittrslion.

LIQUOR LIOENSES.

Liquor license money will for the
most part pay the salaries of Governor
Mann and the othbr State officials and
keep up the hospitals and schools sup.
ported by the Commonwealth for the
next few months At the Office of the
Auditor of Public Accounts in Richmond
il Is estimated that fully 81, 900. 600 will
be received during this month from H.
cenfes of all kinds, and of this amount it
is thought that perhaps 5000, 900 will
come from State licenses on the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
This business was regarded by the
legislature at the recent session as being
one Of the most feasible subjects for al
ditioDal taxation. The new Byrd law
largelyl increased the license feee. The
retailllicense price was raised from $3.50
to $3.50, but this applied to probably only
a small percentage of dealers. In these
days a great percentage of each liquor
merchants business is in shipments to
dry territory, and to reach this trade the
speaker created a new class of license,
known as retail and shippers, at a price
of ST., 900 a year to the State.

No matter how much you may
love the girl, don't send her a post
card with such a legend as 81 love
my wife, but oh, you kid" Even
il your affection is reciprocated,
the girl may have changed her
mind before the card reaches her.
The Jail will be staring you in the
face. This deduction Is drawn
from the result of a case just de-
cided in the United States district
court at Jefferson City, Mo-, where
James Schanuth, young farmer,
was fined S. and costs for sending
improper matter through the mails.
1t seems that James. a simple
minded son of the soil, was sudden
ly smitten with the charms of Miss
Rua Lauder, who lives at Cedar
City. He thought the admiration
was reciprocal. At any rate, he
sent a glowing card to Miss Lau-
der, intimating contempt for mari
tai faithfulness. OF course, Jimmie
wasn't married, and it was only his
idea of a joke. Nevertheless the
only thing that saved him from a
heavy sentence, the judge said, was
that while the sentiment expressed
in the line 81 love my wife, but oh,
you kid" was distinctively bad,
there was nothing illegal about it,
and Jimmie was released with a
fine of S. and costs. The Judge
said he was getting off easy. as the
law provides a maximum penalty
of $4,000 or five years in the peni-
Tertiary.
Assistant Postmaster T. J. Smith,
in an interview last evening, said:
Many obscene postal cards are
stopped in this office every day
and sent to the dead letter office,
where they are confiscated by the
department in Washington. D. c.
THE law provides for a fine, not
to exceed $4,000, or imprisonment,
or both, in the option of the court.
IF the addresses Of such postal
cards would only make complaint,
the government would at once
bring the guilty parties to justice,
as we'll as the sellers Of such kind
of literature, which Is a menace to
the morals of the entire cOmmu-
nifty. We can do nothing until
cases are brought to our notice"
1t is a we'll known fact that there
are many stores in Spokane where
these obscene post cards can be
purchased-if you have the price

FAVOR
BOND ISSUE
VOTE FOR 100000 FOR PARKS
TURN DOWN SUCCESS
TlONS AS TO RE-
STRICTlONS.

An endorsement Of the $1,000
600 issue of bonds for parks and
Fairgrounds and their improvement
was voted by the representatives
of the Improvement clubs and civic
organizations, at a meeting held
last night in the assembly rooms
Of the chamber of commerce.
Suggestions that certain restrict
ions be made in connection with
the park bonds were offered by the
North Hill Improvement club, the
kenwood club and the Bolo club,
but these were not accepted.
In response to a resolution from
the Kenwood club, in opposition
to the use of any portion of the
bond issue for the building of
boulevards. A. w. Jones admitted
that the following out of the park
plan, designed by the Olmstead
Bros, meant the building Of boule.
wards from this fund. The park
board has announced that the Ohm.
stead plan will be used. The Ken.
wood club took the stand that the
boulevards should be built at the
expense of the property owners
benefited.
The North Hill Improvement
club and the Kenwood club wanted
to, know in a general way where
the parks were to be located but
this did not meet with approval
Both clubs entered protest against
the payment of commissions to real
estate men for the purchase of the
land. The Bolo club wanted a
monthly statement of receipts and
disbursements posted over the city
by the park board.
IL Outside of the objections thus
raised the feeling was strongly in
favor of the bond issue. The Cen
trail Labor council had the matter
up early In the evening and sent

HAVE CONFIDENCE
IN MRS. HOUSE
LEADER IN POLICE MATRON
FIGHT REELECTED PRESI-
DENT OF THE WOMAN'S
CLUB.

The faithful and untiring efforts
of Mrs. A. E. House as president of
the Woman's club were rewarded
last night by her reelection to the
post of presiding officer by a vote
that was almost unanimous.
Mrs. House has led in the fight
for police matrons at the city Jail
and because of her activity in this
movement and the further fact that
she went on the bond of Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn in the recent street
speaking campaign, some women
in sympathy with the city hall tried
to defeat her reelection.
The opposition to Mrs. House was
led by Mrs. J. R. Cassin and Mrs
Leo Brown, but the count of the
vote showed that Mrs. House re
ceived so of the Sc votes present.
Mrs. House is honest and fear
less. If she thinks a question is
right she is not afraid to take a
stand, even IL President Taft led
the OPPOSITION. She has done won
ders for the Woman's club, and
that the women are appreciative
was demonstrated by the vote OF
confidence given last night.
Other officers are:
Mrs. Praeger, first vice pres
dent; Mrs. d. A. Stewart. second
Mrs. w. G. Gleason. third Mrs
Lucy Hall, recording secretary;

You don't often hear Of the pre-
tender to the throne of Great
Britain and Ireland, but there is
one, and according to the rules of
the royal game he is more entitled
to the crown now worn by Edward
VII. than is the son of Queen Vic
toria. The man who should be his
royal highness' of England is the
old Prince Luitpold, regent for the
mad king of Bavaria He is head of
the Jacobites or Stuartites, as they
are sometimes called, and traces
his ancestry back 221 years to
James H., who was ousted by a
packed parliament and his throne
given to William of Orange.
For more than two centuries the
descendants of James Stuart have
awaited the call to cross the chan
mel and assume the scepter which
jovial King Ed holds. Frequently
there are demonstrations in behalf
of the ''legitimist king of Eng
land" but they have never caused
King Ed half as much worry as
failing to meet a pretty actress or
as losing horse at the derby.
