PATIENCE IN

~ YOODROw WILSON held . brief for patience in business
w and ws not speaking Of politics when he said: "You can't
do great thing unless you finish what you do. We haven't
been careful Of anything except TO make haste" He is, h however, an
advocate Of patience in politics, and in his book "The State" he de-
Sares that "thc sum Of tho whole natter is this: "Thc method Of
political development is conservative adaptation, shaping old habits
INTO new ones, modifying old means to accomplish new ends"

allowances or divisions of rates.

In response TO request from the
| interstate commission for advice as
to alleged discriminatory features IN
the new tariffs filed by the trans"
continental lines serving Spokane
and intermountain territory, the eX =
ecutive committee of the Eastern
Seaboard Shippers Association has
filed with the commission a brief
protesting against these tariffs On
the ground that the rates are an
advance of approximately > per cen.
on about $50 commodities shipped
through Atlantic ports. In the case
of rubber tubing shipped to Spo-
kane the new rate is So per hundret
pounds, but it can be shipped to
to Pacific coast and then rebile
to Spokane for $3.50. In the matter
of cotton piece goods the proposei
rate to Spokane direct is $3.50, while
by the Pacific coast the rate r.
mains $2.53. The position of East
ern shippers is that commission
houses and shippers along the A;
lantic coast are entitled to consd-
Grafton in rates to Spokane and
intermountain territory, even if il
should be deemed just to afford the
Pacific shipper some advantage.

OF a contract to buy 240 shares of it.
brought Wednesday in the district
court by r. NJ. Scott and Frank f..
Scott of the Scott Drug company.

him valuable property, gave him

notes of the Van Zandt-Bruce Drug

THE MASTERS WORDS.

it is charged that he run things with

been made. 1t is further set forth
that over two hundred good and 10y

Mad Dog Scare.

A number OF dogs have been bit

thought to be mad. This has led
the police to inaugurate crusade
against all dogs running at large.
Tramp dogs are particularly being
sought out and killed, while all dog
owners are being warned to keep
their dogs confined.
There was rumor current on Tn
streets last evening that a small boy
had been bitten by MAD dog ca
in the evening, but the rumor was
not confirmed.
One old timer in dog trampdom
