Catchy Music Features
Gayety Show This Week

Giving a performance replete with
catchy music and a chorus of more
than ordinary ability, Waldron's Troca-
dero BurlesQuers opened a weeks en-
gagement at the Gayety yesterday. The
show is new throughout and was well
received by the usual big Gayety house.
"Sweeney's Vacation" was the two-act
musical potpourri, in which Frank Fin
ney takes the leading comedy role. The
old Washington favorite, Sam J. Adams,
got many a hand, while J. P. Griffith,
Frank Ross and George Brennan made
much of the amusing situations in
which they were placed. Minnie
Burke, as vivacious as ever. made hit
from the start. Others in the company
deserving OF special mention are Jean
ette Young. Pearl Wade. Violet Till.

Editor Jeffersonian:
Dear Sir: AS some of the news
paper correspondents have made a
mistake about the resolution inviting
Mr.. Watson to speak on the Bill to
dlstranchlse all negroes on the idea
that the 18th amendment to the Con-
stltution was never legally adopted
and ratified, you will piece publish
the facts about it.
The resolution has never been voted
on; it was not indefinitely postponed:
1t was simply tabled, because the Bill
will not be acted on this session, and
the author of the Bill wants Mr.. Wat
son to address the General Assembly
at the next session, when the Bill
Will be considered. During the vaca-
ton it is my intention to investigate
tnls question and prepare an argu-
ment and send a printed copy to each
Senator and Representative. And
want Mr.. Watson to fully prepare
himself with the records, and demon
strate his position.

chisement law, Mr.. Williams of Lau-
rens (now dead) claimed that the

1T DID NOT PAY.

1T DID NOT PAY.
Tom Watson's offensive campaign
of SANDER against the Catholic
Church in his magazine has come to
an ignominious end. 1t has not been
a paying proposition because of the
counter campaign of information in
stituted by the American Federation
Of Catholic societies throughout the
region where Watson's Magazine cir
culates, and by means of which sub
scriptions and advertising patronage
have been withdrawing from that
publication until it's proprietor began
to realize that he was playing a los
ing game, that villification and brazen
falsehood overshoot the mark and re-
coil upon their author. He issued q
circular letter to his patrons saying
Chat the series of articles against the
Church was closed and asking them
for renewal Of their support, but the
trick was not successful; therefore,
Thomas w. is sad, looking at his di-
unfinished subscription and advertising
lists, and not even his pa.ron, the
Father of Lies, can comfort him.
When this statement is read, and
the current issue of Watson's Maya
zine is consulted, it will be readily
seen how far from the truth the Prog
ress is. The history of the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy was not written as
"a paying proposition" it was writ
ten just as any other historical work
has been Written-for the truth there
is in it, for the enlightment it would
bring, and for a realization Of the
tremendous POLITICAL strength it
was developing in this coun .ry.
The statement that Thos. e. Watson
or any one connected with Watson's
publication issued circular letter
or declared in any other way that
the "series Of articles against the
Church was closed" is palpable un-
truth to any who will look at the cur
rent issue of Watson's Magazine, or
who will read the magazine at any
time within the year.
Thomas w. is saddest only because
it has been necessary TO enlarge the
advertising sections in both Watson's
Magazine and the Weekly Jeff.
He's sad because he had to add an
other printer to the payroll and two
more linotype operators to those he
already has.
He's sad because the superintendent
and the business manager have told
him that the only way for The Jeffs to
keep up even With their work will be
for the plant to be operated day and
night.
He's sad because this means the in
stalling of another engine and the
service of another engineer.
But he's saddest Of all at the alb
solute refusal Of any member of the
Roman Catholic body, to refute in
any way the historically true state
ments T. E. w. is making each month
in Watson's Magazine, as to he ORR
gin and superstitous ignorance of
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, of
their determination to rule America
from Rome, and of the absolutely I'M
principled means the Church would
take today, as it has in bygone years,
to crush all who dare oppose it.
But ty and large, T. e. w. is hap

Steamers Going Dry

BY deciding that Morris Falken-
stine, purser on the S. S. Kennedy,
plying between Seattle and Bremen
ton and other ports in Kitsap coun-
ty, must pay the fine assessed against
him by the Kitsap county superior
court for selling liquor in that coun-
ty without license, the supreme
court has laid down rule, which
according to local attorneys will
make every boat and railroad train
in Washing ton dry. The supreme
court rules in effect that county
license must be secured to sell
liquor in each county through which
the boat or train passes. If this
law is enforced according to lawyers,
it will put the barso on boats and the
buffets ON trains out of business.

He will remain in Jail until Septem-
ber 19, when court convenes.

Tax PAYERS Robbed

The Bellingham armory, as stately
and imposing as it is from its van
tage point on the hill, is little better
than junk pile. An inspection Of
the structure from the basement to
the balcony shows that the plumb
ing, and the general outfitting of
he building has been done in the
cheapest and most slip-shod manner.
The structure, as it stands, has been
accepted by the armory commission;
and there now appears to be no re-
dress for the citizens of the state
whose money has been SO prodigally
expended, except to call for search
ing investigation and locate the
leaks through which in all probabili-
ty, fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars escaped.

considerable trouble in securing the
first names of the women eligible
for jury duty.
The women drawn for jury service
can either choose to do jury service
or they can claim exemption. Chap
ter 81, section 2. session laws of

desiring to be excused from jury
service may claim exemption by
signing written or printed notice
thereof and returning same to the
sheriff before the date for appear
ance. and if exception is claimed by
reason of sex no fee shall be allowed
for her appearances s

Needs More Boats
To Enforce Law

Finding that John L. Riseland,
state fish commissioner, through a
lack of facilities, is unable to insure
enforcement of the thirty-six hour
closed season on salmon, and that
in fractions are probably numerous
under existing conditions, the COM
mittee appointed by Gov. Hay to in
vestigate the fishing industry re-
turned tuesday from a weeks labors
in the Sound cities says the P. l.
The committee, composed of Sena-
tors H. M. White, chairman; Ralph
D. Nichols, D. S. Troy, of Port
Townsend, and Josiah Collins, left
week ago.
"The investigation was brought
about by the threatened removal of
the fishing industry from state con-
troll" said Chairman White at the
Rainier-Grant last night. ''Dr.
David Starr Jordan. appointed by
President Taft, and Prof. Prince
representing Canada, had recon-
mended to the two governments that
tie fishing industry of the Sound be
placed under joint national control,
owing to the high feeling of the
Fraser river fishermen and the
threatened decimation of the sock
eye salmon.
''The committee visited Vancou-
yer and New Westminster, met F.
H. Cunningham. chief inspector of
fisheries. and went through the
whole subject, besides conducting
an investigation on our own account.
We found the Canadians living up
to the law.
"The whole trouble is that Com
missioner Riseland has one little
launch to patrol the entire Sound.
about 200 miles, to catch infractors
of closed season that lasts thirty
six hours, manifestly impossible
condition.
Eve held conference with DR..
Charles H. Gilbert. He is probably
the foremost authority on fish in
the United States and is member
of the faculty of Leland Sanford
university.
"We secured his services as ex-
pert and will attempt to devise
remedial legislation to correct the
abuses and to afford Commissioner
Riseland help enough in the way of
deputies and equipment to enforce
the law"

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
to carry the mail. This is done to
