NO BETTING

Commissioner Hayden, head OF
the department of public safety,
has served notice on the betting ele-
ment in Spokane that any attempt
to operate an open pool room or
hand books there in connection
with the new race track to be opened
on the Idaho side, % miles east OF
that city, on August 26, for a So
day meeting, will run afoul' the
state law. He declares that the de-
partment will stop all forms OF
gambling, such as betting on ball
games, races, cards, dice and other
devices, adding that not only will
the keepers and players be arrested,
but also the owners and lessees OF
buildings in which gaming is per
mitted will be prosecuted under the
anti-gambling law, which defines
betting as misdemeanor, punish
able by imprisonment in the state
penitentiary for not more than five
years. Frank w. Smith Of Spo-
kane, secretary of the racing asso-
citation, says that while there are
no laws in Idaho prohibiting pool
selling, the organization will not be
identified with books or pools either
at the Post Falls track, Spokane or
elsewhere.

SUNDAY is TUBERCULOSIS DAY

Sunday, the 3Oth, is tuberculosis
day--not a day to contract con-
sumption, but day to fight the
spread of the dread disease and to
help others in the worldwide war
against it,
Last year over 10000 sermons
were preached in this country on
the prevention of tuberculosis.
This year the day is expected to be
observed by 100000 churches in
the United States, and it is hoped
to enlist 33, 100000 communicates
in the movement.
The churches are requested, not
to hold a special service about con-
sumption next Sunday, but to have
the subject discussed any day this
week or next week. Sunday Is
suggested simply as the day when
the maximum number of church
folk can be reached and the great
est publicity secured for the cause.
Too much publicity can not be
given the movement for the extirpa-
ton of tuberculosis. Every year
brings new generation on the stage.
If the present generation were, as is
not the case, universally and fully
informed about the terrible ravages
of tuberculosis, which in 1910 caused
more deaths in the state than diph-
liberia, measles, scarlet fever, small
pox, typhoid and whoopingcough

ELECTRIC LINE FROM
SPOKANE TO COLUMBIA
Spokane l. Inland Ready to Award
Contract for Construction of
New Lines

Testifying in rate case before
the state railroad commission at its
session in Spokane, J. P. Graves,
president of the Spokane & Inland
Empire Electric Railway syste m,
controlled by the Great Northern
Railway company, announced that
the actual value of the property is
s24 900, 900, as against a physical
valuation of s15,414,357 reported
by the commissions appraisers.
Valuation of tract of land in Spo
kane, owned by the company was
too low at 3,19S, 800 as it is worth
fully 100000. The company's
capitalization is placed at $21 800,
900. Mr.. Graves added that the
company is ready to award con-
tract for an electric line down the
Spokane river to the Columbia river
also that the main lines will be ex-
tended to Lewiston, Idaho, and
Walla Walla, WASH, respectively,
147 and 294 miles from Spokane.
The electric plant at Nine Mile,
capable of developing 10000 horse
power, he said, has an annual out
put valued at 81 900, 900, the pro-
duction costing less than 90 per
cent of that amount.

PROTECT SCHOOL FUNDS

The county auditor is to draw
and issue all warrants for third class
school districts under a ruling made
by the attorney generals Office and
the bureau of inspection is notify
ing all the third class school dis
districts in the state to this effect.
This is not done to curtail the
powers of the school districts which
do not have an incorporated town
or city within their limits but is for
the protection of the funds as it has
been found that in many Of the
counties in the outlying districts
warrants have been raised or forged
and there is no way for the county
treasurer who pays them to detect
it. Now when a warrant is made
out by the auditor he will take it
to the treasurer and have it entered
on the records SO that when the
warrants come back for payment
after delivery to the proper person
the treasurer will know whether
they have been forged or altered in
any way and this will mean it is
believed, a great saving to the state.
On July 1st, when all the new
school laws passed by the last legis-
lature go into effect, this change
will be made.
The state bureau of inspection
has also directed all treasurers to
take up school warrants as fast as
possible and the bureau is anxious
to put every school district in the
state on a cash basis. Yakima
county is one of the first in the
state to do this and call has been
issued ty the treasurer for every
outstanding school warrant with
the exception of one district where
some warrants have been forged and
others raised. Before the treasurer
will pay them the exact status of
such warrants will have to be de-
termined by the courts, this follow
ing the example set by state treas
urer Lewis when he declined to pay
any Of the fraudulent Hamilton
military warrants until either the
courts or the legislature had di.
rected him to do 50.

WEATHER

Councilman CARRIER criticises the
brand of weather we have been put
ting out the past few weeks. We
believe that the gentleman is wrong
and that Kennewick's weather, far
from perfect though it may have
been upon occasion, will more than
average up with the general run OF
weather in this section. In view OF
the fact that we are amateurs at the
weather game, in competition with
old experienced weather men in
other places, we think the quality
of our product is little short of mar
velous. Anyhow, nobody can kick
about the. quantity.

THE JOYFUL LIFE

In a recent public statement Bis
hop Fallows of Chicago, said that
while we Americans are an active
people, we are as a rule. a joyless
people; we act as though we were
driven like slaves to our tasks; we
take our pleasures on a feverish
run"
1t is question whether Ameri-
cans really enjoy life as they should
enjoy it. They are too active, too
hasty, too much absorbed in the
pursuit of material things, to really
get out of life all the JOY there is in
it. Often such pleasures as Ameri-
cans pursue are ephemeral. Some
times they are coarse. Life's simpler
joys seem not to be popular with
those who are in a position to reap
the richer harvests. Bishop Fal-
lows says it looks as though our
religion did not agree with us" nor
our politics, nor our sciences, nor
arts, nor cloIhes. nor food, the good
bishop might have added, for what
we possess, whether it be little or
much, seems not to satisfy; and
We hurry on for new worlds to con-
quer.
Bishop Fallows asks: Why not
be Joyful" And, in arguing for the
joyful life, he adds that 1T imparts
strength, contentment and pleasure;
it increases the activity of all the
vital functions; it quickens the
pulse, brightens the eye. fushes the
cheek and nerves the arm; it makes
play of work; it removes fatigue,
while stimulating all the powers of
mind and body; joy acts powerfully
upon all the digestive processes and
works a transformation upon the
iaundiced dyspeptic. F"

together, it would remain necessary
to teach the children who have be-
come old enough to understand and
to share in the crusade against d.
sease.
The Spokane Associated Charities,
Health Officer Anderson and Mayor
Hindley are planning to establish a
city colony of consumptives. The
economic damage to society from
tuberculosis and the menace that it
is to public health render such an
outdoor institution an indispensable
necessity. Control of the disease in
this generation means freedom from
it in the next generation.
