SPOKANE CHURCH TO
 GIVE PARISH DANCE

Spokane, Wash, August 14.-(Special.)- )- Invitations to dance under church au- spices on church property have been ex- tended to every family In St. Francis Xavier parish, Spokane, by Rev. Father J. Rebmann, pastor, the affair taking place in the parochial school the evening Of August 16. The priest, who announced the dance from the pulpit at the Sunday services. urged the parishioners to attend, promising all good time. Officers and members of the Ladies' Altar society will be the hosts
 Father Rebmann thinks the dance is harmless with proper association and su- peryision, but he is opposed to public dances, saying that the evil is not in the dance itself, but in the abuse of it. Father Rebmann is among the veteran priests in Spokane and was for years an officer of Gonzaga college He is liberal in his views and believes the right kind of a dance Is a good form of wholesome amusement. It is given out that another dance will follow if the coming enter tainment is as successful as promised. Some of the pastors in Spokane denounce dancing, saying 1t leads to perdition.

KILL PROHIBITION

Atlanta, August 14.--fhe attempt to the present session of the legislature ended in failure today. The Tippings bill prohibiting the sale of beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol, aimed primarily at the traffic in near beer" was killed in committed and later failed to be re- surrected through on the floor of the house.
 Thus the sale of beer will continue for at least one year more, as the re- maining days of the assembly will be taken up with privileged business. The action of the rules committee in re- fusing to allow the measure to come to a vote was taken early this morning, but the matter was not closed finally until after noon.

ACTION OF SENATOR
 FLINT MADE CLEAR

Los Angeles. August 14-Former United States Senator Frank P. Flint, explain ing his resignation from the monetary commission yesterday, said:
 This committee might, under proper conditions. accomplish great deal of good, but a business man 5000 miles from the seat of government cannot give this vital matter the attention it should have.
 'It is my conviction the board should be made up entirely of members of Congress. As a matter of fact I think it unlikely that the commission made up entirely of former members of Con- gress would be able to embody in bill that would meet the approval of the present Congress the monetary reforms that are needed.
 For all these reasons and others l de- cided some time ago to send in my resig- nation as soon as an opportunity pre- scented itself"

TAFT AND THE TARIFF
By sAvoYARD

Washington, August 14.-(SpeciaD.-I believe William H. Taft is the best Pres ident tho republican party has given the country during. it's entire history, though it is true that had Abraham Lincoln lived to defeat the deviltry of Stevens, Butler, Wade, Chandler, and their fel- low hyenas in the days of southern re- construction he would have approved himself the best President of his party. MT. Taft is the first republican Presi- dent who is also national In the full sense of the term, the first republican to regard the south as a full sister in the union. He appointed three southern ers-all democrats-to the supreme bench, two Of them former Confederate soldiers. Nor is that all, for one of those Con federates is chief justice of that tribu- nal.
 Unfortunately MT. Taft was not bred to statecraft. He is a lawyer first and his place was the bench He is the poor est of politicians and the purest of pat riots. There is no guile in him and he will practice no deception to obtain the greatest advantage Had he been so fortunate as to possess the political ex- perience of William Mckinley. his ad- minsitration would have been one of the most satisfactory in our history Every President should first take whrl in one or both Houses of Congress. His ex- perience in Congress would have made a superb President of William R. Nor rison.
 When Taft became President he knew absolutely nothing about the tariff. He was protectionist because he was a

hours and you are all. tired out and the only real wish that you can frame up is that you wish you were dead!"
 Foolish you!
 Everybody. whether working for liv- and if you don't believe me, read Mir. Arnold Bennetts clever book. How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day.
 Maybe you've read the little book through.
 Be that as It may, 1t isn't going to hurt you to remember some of the wise hints that Mir. Bennett gives about the disposition of ones time. MT. Bennett says first of all, that the reason some of us never get anywhere is because we never start Miss Procrastination, if you please.
 We are always putting off until to- mororw-that word which the Spanish call "Mananna."
 We tell ourselves that we shall have more time then. We'll never have any more time tomorrow than we have today, for today we have all the time there is, and now is the best moment to begin.
 
 We are going to read a good book to- morrow.
 Why delay starting it until-then?
 You'll be just that much ahead if you start today
 You say you are going to mend your clothes tomorrow-after you are rested up. You'll never be a bit more rested than you are right this very minute, be- sides a change of occupation is restful. If you have been writing on typewriter all day. then sewing is bit of diversion
 MT. Bennett also insists that it is a very important thing for us to think.
 Life's neither humdrum nor sordid, if you bring your very best pair of eyes to bear upon It.
 Accordingly interesting things are happening every moment, right under your nose.
 Sometimes life grows wearisome, but tor obably-there's nothing the matter with life; the matter Is with you.
 You have 24 hours every day to live, and you are not supposed to live beyond that.
 There are libraries full of good books; there are deeds of charity to be done there are beautiful flowers for the living that you can scatter, and if you throw away the golden hours that still are yours, after the eight hours that you work. you are very unappreciative and very much to be pitied.
 Why with these very fragments you can achieve even a miracle! You can change a wish Into house.
 You can do anything and all things that you want to do. Do you recall the boy in the old story :? His mother sent him to town with eggs to sell.
 He didn't return, and when at last she found him, he was an old man sort of Rip Van Winkle-and he was sitting on the banks of a stream not a half mile from home.
 She hadn't thought to search so near for him.
 Mother" he said when she saw him after all the years, T waited for the river to run by, and see it is still going"
 Arnt just oodles of us like that?
 We slump down, maybe, just a half mile from home, and wait for the river to run by
 Before we know 1t we'll be old and grayheaded. and stiff-kneed,-and the stream will be going by, just as merrily and theren be as much water in it tomorrow there is today for there was yesterday.

rain, so we could enjoy the Country club tea on the lawn: we wish 1t wouldn't rain, because we want to make calls, and we wish all sorts of silly things just like that. every blessed day of our lives.
 All sheer waste of breath and energy. There Is psychology of wishes which one must understand before one can wish intelligently.
 When you wish out loud, for things you may depend that they won't come true; the very fact that you wish aloud stamps the wish as foolish.
 Whatever you want and want 1t very, very much-whatever is serious. you do not proclaim from the housetops, but you direct your wish within.
 You remember that Emerson said:
 'He that seeks a treasure should do so silently"
 There Is no achievement that we de- sire, no genuine issue of life that we make known to a gaping multitude.
 That's all very we'll" says some one. "as far as it goes, but suppose you've got to work for your living! that the time for wishing comes only after office

Every wish,'' said some wise one, lis bound in time, if you wish for it hard enough, to become horse
 There must be something in wish turning into horse-to take us any where we'd like to go-or the old adage wouldn't have lasted so long.
 But as a matter of fact the "old saw is only half true.
 It says:
 "If wishes were horses-beggars might ride" , The truth is, that every wish might be materialized into a strong horse, or g gaily caparisoned little pony. if you and I only put enough fervency and deter imitation into the wish. to make it come true.
