Its Ruling.

Philadelphia, Jan. 24-The eleven
Irish actors and actresses who were ar
rested last week on a charge of pro-
ducing a sacrilegious and immoral play,
were yesterday discharged from custody
by the county court. The players were
arrested on warrant sworn out by
a citizen after they had appeared in
the comedy, "The Playboy of the West
ern World" A police magistrate held
them for trial, but counsel Immediately
applied for writ of habeas corpus ask
ing the court to dismiss the charges
against the players. There was a long
argument and the court held the case
under advisement until yesterday. The
court, in Diminishing the players, gave
no reasons for its action. In the argu-
ment on the writ. the defense claimed
that the law under which the players
were arrested did not apply to their
case.

Feeling the Public Pulse

Every four years the country at large
and especially the political leaders, en-
gage in a pastime variously designated
but which is often referred to as feel
ing the public pulse"
The operation is supposed to reveal
the state of mind of the average citizen
so that the men who make and unmake
presidents can tell how said average
citizen will vote, and if he is minded to
vote wrong, how to induce him to look
at the matter from another angle.
Feeling the public pulse is done in
various ways. One way is the straw
vote, but as the average citizen thinks
himself a good bit of a wag, he is like
ly to vote any old kind of straw Just
for fun. So the straw vote is proverbially
unreliable as barometer to foretell the
political future.
Another method Of feeling the pub
lie pulse is to send a presidential posi-
bility through the country, sounding a
keynote. But this does not always
enable the political doctors to give a
safe diagnosis, for the average citizen
likes to make the great man who is
Grating for him feel good, and unless
things are mighty blue in that region,
or attack OF rheumatism or dyspepsia
sicklies Ger his merry nature, he is
just as likely as not to whoop it up as
hard for one presidential possibility as
for another.
Still another way to feel the public
pulse is to get the average citizen to
write his views to the pro bona publico
column OF his favorite newspaper; but
the men who tell what they really think
generally seem to be much in the
minority when the votes are counted.
After all the only real way to feel the
public pulse is at the ballot box; but
there, as at all post mortems, it's
mighty little use for the subject though
it may benefit the living, someday.
And that, where the recall has been
introduced and naturalized, is by no
means final.

Getting the Right Sort of Immigrants

A convention to consider the ques-
ton Of immigration, as it will affect the
Pacific coast following the opening oil
the Panama canal, has been called to
meet at Tacoma February 21-22. The
governors of Washington, Oregon, Cal
ifornia and Idaho, also the Lieutenant
Governor Of Canada, have been in
vited. 1t is hoped to secure the en-
dorsement Of the bill introduced by
United States Senator Brown to create
a Division Of information, under the
direction Of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, the function oil
which shall be to gather, from all avail
able sources. useful information re-
garding the resources, products and
characteristics Of each state, publish
such information in the different Ian
guages and distribute it among the
different aliens. The idea is to pro-
mote a movement which will induce
the right sort Of immigrants to come
to the Pacific coast and then take care
Of them when they get here. Many

vention, which will be held at Portland

Paving By Check

A habit of paying all accounts by
check is one Of great value. The man
who receives your check turns it into
the bank, and it is paid from your de-
post. All checks are kept by the
bank and returned to the man who gave
them at the end of each month. These
checks should then be filed away and
kept as receipt of payment Of account
for which they were given. Old checks
require but little space and are absolute
proof of payment.
1t is not uncommon for an honest
man to forget that his account has
been cancelled and again ask for pay
ment. If the account is paid by check,
that check, with stamp Of the bank on
the face and the mans own signature
on the back, settles the matter at once.
Paying by check also relieves the
man Of the danger Of losing his cash or
having it stolen, which danger is incur
red by carrying large amount Of
money around all the time. 1t can be
left in the safe keeping Of the bank
and drawn upon at will.
A check book is a convenient form
Of daily account. The amount Of the
deposit in the bank can be carried
forward on the stubs and the amount
of each check subtracted from it when
the check is given.
Farming is a business proposition.
We often look on the merchant or
banker who has $4,000 capital as a
well-to-do business man. Now the
average farm may be an equal invest
m lent, and it is just as true an invest
ment of capital as store or bank ever
was, and is certainly worthy of clean
cut business methods. Our advice,
then, would be to adopt the practice Of

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST

On Saturday, February d, through
the joint activity Of the Southwest

and the Olympic Peninsula Develop
ment League, an excursion will be
conducted to southern California, over
the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation company and the Southern
Pacific. The train, which will consist
Of the best travel equipment that can
be assembled, will be made up in Ia
coma, picking up its members all along
the line, in the southwest part Of the
state. There will be a volume of
literature on hand for booster purposes,
to attract the attention of California to
this part of the northwest. While all
parts of the Golden Gate State will be
seen to its best advantage, the travel
ers will also be helping to establish an
inter-coast spirit that should do wonders
ultimately in the exerting of unit in
huence.
To the voters of the Port of Seattle
district will be submitted next month
the biggest issue in the way Of harbor
development, that has yet arisen on
the Pacific Coast. If ratified, the fam
Gus Bush terminals, Of New York, will
be duplicated on Puget Sound, within
the corporate limits Of Seattle. 1t
provides for the issuance of bonds up
to s3,500,000, the proceeds Of which
are to be spent for site, buildings and
piers, to constitute gigantic warehouse
property. A large eastern concern
stands ready to lease this plant for
thirty years, guaranteeing the interest
and providing for a sinking fund, so
that at the end of the lease, the district
owns the property debt free. Such
facility will make Seattle the real Pacific
coast terminal Of the Panama canal.
