EXPLAINS TRIP OF
FIVE YOUNG men

Editor The Press-I wish you
would correct the mistage made in
another evening paper Saturday
about the five young men who
went to Hillyard with the inten-
ton of cleaning up the town and
got arrested before they got start.
ed" The paper said we were all
serving out $12 fine on the chain
gang and l would like to have it
published in today's Press. We
went out to Hillyard Oct. 20, just
for ride, and the marshal, who
saw us get off the street car, fol
lowed us up the main street, and
he followed us into bar, where we
had just one glass of beer, and then
into a noodle grill, and when we
were ON our way to the street car
with the intention of going to Spo
kane, he deputised the whole of the
city of Hillyard to arrest us and
charged us with drunk and disOr
derly conduct and assessed fine
of s12. The five young men are
Johnson, Keanly, Mcneil, Dean and
Moore. A. E. Johnson.

THE TRUTH ABOUT :
PREFERENTIAL VOTING

An effort is being made in GER
tain quarters to make the prefer
entail system of voting, which
seems likely of adoption in the new
charter, bugaboo with which to
strike terror into the hearts of the
uninitiated. 1t is called cumber-
some, unwieldy, mysterious, unin-
telligible, socialistic, etc. 1t is
really neither of these, but plan
of voting that enables the people
to break machines and states and
elect the best men from the stand
point of the popular good.
The preferential system of vot-
ing, in the first place, contemplates
the doing away with primaries and
having but the one election, which
means big saving, both to the
candidate and the taxpayers.
The voters are allowed first, sec
ond and third choice votes for each
commissioner, which would mean
in the first election that the voter
could express his preference for Is
men if he so desired. In the sub.
sequent elections, in which only
three commissioners will be chosen
at time, the voter could express
his preference for nine men. 1t is
not contemplated to make the ex
preston of the first, second and
third choice compulsory, as in the
case of congressman in the present
primaries, but to leave it optional
with the voter to express his first
second and third choice or not as
he pleases.
If candidate receives a certain
percentage of the first choice votes
then the second and third choice
votes are disregarded in his case
If he does not receive the required
percentage, then the second cnoice
votes are counted. If the required

POLICE |NEFFICIENCY
! SHOWN AT HEARING

Think OF It! One acting chief of
police, one police commissioner,
two city detectives and six police
men worked hard and faithfully to
hear them tell IL, on the Elliott
case, and were unable to find any
thing wrong.
Yet one reporter and a lone
woman in week S time, got
enough facts to show that one of
the blacklist crimes in the annals
of the Spokane police department
had been committed.
The police activity" in the case
was shown in order to gull the pub
lie into the idea that former Act
ing Chief of Police Sullivan had
done everything in his power to
bring to the surface the facts in
the Elliott case. when as a matter
of fact it will be shown, when all
of the facts are in, that the police
did their best tc keep the facts
from being brought out.
The development of this phase of
Mayor Pratt's police investigation
took all of yesterday afternoon S
session before the board of police
commissioners. Incidentally, Mrs.
F. F. Emery, a member of Mayor
Pratt's whitewashing committee,
who did everything in her power
to prevent the truth in the Elliott
case from being brought out, testi-
fled on behalf of Sullivan and told
of being Swallowed by Mrs. P. P
Stafford and a reporter for The
Press. Mrs. Emery has defended
Sullivan from the moment that he
was first placed under fire, and her
interest seemed not to have abat
ed at yesterdays session.
INEFFICIENcY SHOWN.
The manner in which one police
man after another got on the stand
yesterday afternoon and told OF
how they had fallen down in the
investigation of the Elliott case, is
tribute in itself to the utter in
efficiency of the Sullivan-Pratt
regime. The whole police force
with IS men. was unable to bring
to light what two citizens, unused
to detection of crime, brought to

Captain Sullivan testified in the

whole day. to the effect that he had

Women ought not to be freaks,

the effort TO be pretty we simply
lose out long before nature intended

and water, lung tank filled semioc-
casionally at least with fresh air, and
an interest in something outside OF

One OF the most wonderfully beau
tiful women ] ever knew wasn't at
all a pretty girl, but she cheerfully
said things looked as pretty to her
as though she herself were not plain,
and the passage OF years brought an
animation, complexion and expression
that lifted her so far above mere ply

beauty could have competed at all for
that which all women want-the ad-
miration of men and liking OF other
women.

we. my sisters, are the superior sex
In all but just about one respect, and
that is beauty. What? Just so.
Our gentlemen foes, these hereditary

they have in hand and let personal

is beginning TO look younger than We
