Chairman F. A Magill, and H G..
Rowland were speaking and hull
ing thunderbolts at the city COM
missioners for protecting evil In
the city the audience was en-
thusiastic and full of spicy COM
ment.
When Judge Harmon laid down
the charter provision that if Roys
is guilty of conserving vice and
lawlessness and that the other
commissioners are not innocent,
for the charter gives them the
right to tL.ow him out of office
with their four votes, fellow
in the rear of the hall shouted
"can the bunch"
And this thought grew as the
meeting progressed.
The charter was plain that the
other commissioners might have
bounced Roys. They stood in
active and the people were dis
gusted. When DIR. Lane finish
ed speaking Charles Drury got the
flooI and introduced resolutions
reviewing the case and declaring
as above for the recall of the
whole commission.
This brought the first clash of
the evening.
ROys Is Bumped
Almost half of the crowd show
ed a disposition to fasten the re-
sponsibility for failure to enforce
the laws on Roys alone. Attorney
Harry M. Johnston said 1t was the
purpose ftbe charter to fix re-
sponsfbility and it had fixed It on
Roys for failure to enforce the
law. He wanted to take the COM
misioners one at time. Attor-
ney Hogue took the same view
and moved that the recall be con-
fined to Roys. This was voted
down.
Peter Dabroe, foreman of water
mains, up in the gallery, seeing
the danger to Nick Lawson, got
the floor and denounced the at
tempt to recall them all. He
said it was up to Roys, not the
mayor.
DruTy said Fawcett, Freeland
and the whole caboodle" had
failed to act and he was for start
ing recall on them all. If cfti-
zens did not want to recall Free
land or the mayor or any one they
not sign the petitions for the ones
they wanted retained.
Wants Fawcett's Scalp
Orville Billings, a member of
the Rotary club, and an opponent
of the mayors municipal dock
scheme, wants to get the mayor.
He said the meeting was going to
kill the recall. "If you let it go
out from here that this bunch of
long-faced hypocrites wants a re-
call the people will vote it down."
he said. He urged going after the
mayor alone.
Judge Mattison arose to make
a plea for Roys. He wanted to go
to him and tell him to enforce
the la wand he thought he would
do it.
Mattison was Kissed and boot
ed. Too many OF the people pres
emit had done that very thing and
been turned down and they were
in no mood to trif1e. su

The Energy Food

As energy food oatmeal is pre-
eminent. To "feel ones oats" always sig
nifies vigor. With people as with horses,
oats give vim and vitality. An extract
of oats is now employed as tonic.
Two world-famous scientists seem
to have proved that oatmeal wards
off age, by feeding the thyroid gland.
Experiments on animals seem to prove
that care of this gland can vastly
lessen ones apparent age.
The love of oatmeal, which is al
most universal, also shows the need
for oats. 1t is the call of Nature for
the elements required

Facts Now Known

Oats contain more digestible pro-
tein, more organic phosphorus, more
lecithin than any other grain that
grows.
Protein is the body-builder, the
endurance food. Woodsmen, for in
stance, who are fed scientifically, are
now largely fed on oats.
Phosphorus is the brains main
constituent. Brain workers and stu
dents need an abundance of it. Nine
tenths of all college pro essors
regularly eat oatmeal. And seven
eighths of the homes among the
highly intelligent supply it to grow
ing children.
Lecithin is the main component of
the nerves and nervous.system.
So for body, brain and nerves-all
three-no other cereal can compare
with oats.

JUDGE HANFORI)
STOPS RECALL

SEATTLE, Jan. 6.-United States
District Judge Cornelius II. Han
ford today enjoined the members
of the city council from appropria-
ting money for the special election
called for February I to Dust Nav
or Gill under the recall provision
OF the city charter, for alleged mis-
conduct i'll Office. The courts de
clslon was handed down in the
case OF a nonresident taxpayer a
galnst the city comptroller and the
city council, Judge Hanford's de
cision says:
1t is the opinion of the court
that any taxpayer, resident or non
resident is entitled to all the relief
which court of equity has power
to grant in a suit intended to frus-
trate effort SO a minority of citizens
to reverse the result of a general
election by ousting the choice of
the majority when the means adopt
ed for that purpose include fraud,
forgery and false official certificates.
1t is the intention of the court to
interfere as little as possible with
the members of the city council and
other officers of the city in the per
Torrance of their duties, but as at
present advised, it will restrain the
misrepresentation of pubic money,
raised by taxation, for expenses of
a special election under this recall

TIE next SPEAKER
CHAMP CLARK

Unless cataclysms or schisms I'M
forcsecn occur, Champ Clark of
Missouri will be the next speaker
of the house of representatives.
Mr.. Clark himself has been conf
dent of this elevation for a year or
two. He was 50 sure the demo
erats were going TO carry congress
at the recent election that he began
testing hard woods from the forest
around Bowling Green, Pike Coun-
ty, where he lives, to ascertain Just
how tough will be the fiber of the
gravel which is to thump the desk
pounded by Uncle Joe Cannon for
eight years. The speakership is a
bigger Office than the vice presi-
dency, take it by and all and any
man who attains it must have back
of him something more than voice
and presence. Mr.. Clark has
both a commanding presence and a
hefty voice, but he has also stored
in his cerebrum a fund of informa-
ton and a field of culture calculat-
ed to enable him to uphold the dig
nifty of the post. He has been in
congress eight terms. The great
est surprise Of his life was eXper
fenced when he awoke one morning
and discovered that a fiddle teacher
in a young ladies seminary had de-
feated him for reelection, but that
was so long ago that he has almost
not quite-forgotten it.

CHEER Up BRETHREN

Why don't men go to church?
Someon. has made a study of a
typical New England village and
observed the habits of l29 prolni-
nent citizens. This is what he
found:
Only II of them go to church reg
ularly, and they but once each
Sunday. There are IS more who
go occasionly, and there are 90 who
never go at all.
\ generation ago no man could
stay away from church in little
New England town and be Comsid-
cred respectable. What has made
the change? They tell us:
Cd Lack of parental authority
requiring church attendance when
these men were young. CD The
Sunday newspaper, the non
church goers' gospel. 60 The
automobile rage, which sends
thousands whizzing to the country,
(4) Sunday visiting, which kee p
both visitors and hosts AZ home.
Possibly the investigation was
conducted on too narrow lines. If,
instead of asking how many go to
church, the question had been how
many are kindly men, loving their
families and doing what they can
to tighten the burdens of those
who are weary and heavyladen,
these prominent citizens might
have given a better account OF
themselves.
The important question is not
how much religion there IS III the
churches, compared with 50 years
ago, but HOW MUCH RELI-
GION THERE IS IN THE
HEARTS AND LIVES OF MEN.
There are good sermons, even III
Sunday newspapers; warm hearts,
even in automobiles, and plenty or
sweetness and light that somehow
rarely get inside a church.
So cheer up, brethren.

Assessment d Farce

SO far as steam railroads are
concerned, every one who has liv-
ed in the state for the past ten
years knows that when they We're
in the hands of the local assessor
their taxation was a face. Under
local assessors, steam railroads in
the state were assessed approx
mately $50, 900, 900. They are
now assessed by the tax commits
sion at more than 100000, 900.
In 1905, the year before the tax
commission took hold, the steam
railroads i'll the state of Washing
ton paid, in round MI mbers, SSO7-
600, 900 in taxes. Last year
they paid s., 700, 900 III taxes.
