KLA-HOW-YAH PROVING A
GRAND SUCCESS STREETS
THRONG WITH MERRY
MAKERS.

Everett is host today to the rest
of Snohomish county and right royalty
is she playing her part. Not for
many years has celebration been
pulled off in this city so full of ex-
citement, gayety and hospitality.
From early morning until midnight
the streets are full of merry makers
and Young America is everywhere.
The American kid comes into his own
about this time of year and as a sue
cessful noisemaker he is in class by
himself. Nobody cares, however, and
many a sedate father is secretly en-
joying his sons air splitting racket.
Bless your heart, it only comes once
year.
To many thousands of spectators
the airman's flights over the bay and
city are the first stunts of that kind
they have ever seen and they are
proving the real thrillers of the cele-
bration. There is variety enough on
tap this week to suit everybody's
taste. The baseball fans are getting
satisfaction, those who like the waltz
and two-step are thronging the dance
pavilions, the carnival is drawing its
quota of fun seekers, everybody is
having a good time in his or her own
way The cafes and bars are all do
ing good business but the crowd is or
derly and we'll behaved and the police
report little trouble in handling the
people.
Today is the day of days and the
climax of the celebration. The grand
parade this morning was the biggest
and best ever pulled off in the city
and the sidewalks were lined with
thousands of people who cheered en-

ever in the way of celebration of our
natal day. Everett has done herself
proud.

pealed to to interest itself in the
case because of the principle involved
but the local union is prepared to
fight it on up alone if no help be forth
coming. The boys contend that the
principle of the license tax and the
amount of the tax are both unjust
They point out that if man should
leave his position, as often happens
or be discharged for any cause, or in
any way become unable to work at
his trade, he has no way of getting
back his money, even though he may
have worked but day or two. They
contend, too, that man ought not to
have fine put on him for the right
to earn living.
It will be remembered that during
Col. Hartley's administration an eff
fort was made to pass an occupation
tax covering virtually all branches of
industry in the city and that so much
opposition was raised that the ordi-
uduCO was nSNSI petSoSu' lhO pehl
tenders license fee, it is contended, is
purely and simply an occupation tax,
but confined to only one occupation.
Other branches of trade will be deep
ly interested in the final outcome of
this case. 1t is not presumed that
the present city administration will
attempt to enact a general occupation
tax, but it is argued that some day
the city might be cursed with an ad-
ministration bitterly hostile to or
ganized labor
At the meeting of the bartenders
which resulted in suit being author
lied, the members were out in force
and were unanimous and enthusiastic
in favor of commencing the suit The
boys realize that it may take some
time to get final decision but say that
makes no difference, that the question
might as we'll be settled one way OF
the other for once and all.
The city commissioners are firmly
of the opinion that they are within
their rights and undoubtedly will fight
the ordinance out.

WILL TEST
LICENSE LAW
BARTENDERS CONTEND THAT
PRINCIPLE rs WRONG
MAY EFFECT OTHER WORK
MEN.

Has Everett or any other city a
legal right to compel the payment of
license by bartender for the right
to work at his trade? Will the city
have to blow back to the licensed
bartenders the amount of the license
fees collected? These are questions
which must be answered by the
courts according to suit which is be-
ing filed in the superior court of Sno-
homish county by counsel represent
ing the members of the Bartenders'
Union to compel the refunding of Ii
cense money paid into the city treas
ury by local dispensers of the glad
some beverage.
The suit grows out of the action
taken by the city commissioners of
this city when drawing up a new
saloon ordinance to govern the liquor
business after saloons were voted in
again last fall. The idea of the COM
missioners (at least the idea given
credence) was that if the bartenders
as well as the proprietors were Ii
censed it would act as double check
upon the business, compelling both to
be vigilant in observing law. There
| was considerable opposition expressed
at the time to the principle of the
| thing, opponents of the measure say
ing on the floor of the Trades Council
it was laying down a precedent which
| might in the future be felt by other
trades and occupations provided we
had city administration which
wanted to take fling at organized
labor At the time the ordinance was
passed by the commissioners none OF
! the bartenders knew exactly where
they were at. Many of them had not
yet obtained positions and very few
realized the far-reaching effect of the
ordinance.
AS the months went by agitation re
suited in sentiment among the bar
tenders being crystalized against the
license proposition and it was finally
decided to fight it in the courts, hence
the present action. The contention IL

SUCCESS OF MORRIS COLLEGE,

The session Of Morris College which
closed last month mas the most sue
cessful which that institution has ever
had. The attendance numbered more
than two hundred, being larger than
ever before and. the financial report
submitted by DR.. j. ]. Starks, presi-
dent of the College, during the recent
meeting of the South Carolina Col
ored Baptist Association in this city.
was the best which has ever been
made.
During the year practically seven
thousand dollars were received for the
support Of the college and the expendi-
lures for all purposes left a balance of
five hundred twenty-six dollars. Be-
sides this amount an effort was made
at to raise $4,000. This effort was
not successful, but something over
$2,5OO was raised and turned over to
the college in cash which went on the
college debt, which it is the hope of
the college authorities to gradually
pay off.
President Starks has been at the
college for nine months, taking up the
work left off by former President
Brawley, and has done much for the
institution in that time. The scholas-
tic work done. has been better and the
dormitory and boarding departments
have been improved. The college has
commenced truck farm and poultry
yard in connection with the school and
much the table supplies during tho
spring have come from these sources.
The college is now in a good condition
and hopes to be able to report next
year as the most successful in it's his
tory.

WORK ON FREIGHT YARD,

Tracks Still i'm Progress.

The work on the Atlantic Coast

gong on and it is probable that when
the present changes contemplated are
made this will be one Of the best and
most conveniently arranged freight
yards in the State, as well as one of
the largest
Inc coal chute, which was moved
TWO weeks ago from it's old site to a
new one prepared for it, is now in
place and in operation once more
tracks were built up to it on one side
and under it on the other for loading
and unloading coal to and from the
engines. The place has been most con-
Venlently arranged in every way.
At the same time changes are still
being made in the track system. al
ways with the purpose Of having the
iiheS more convenient in shifting
freight. The hole left by the re-
moVal of the coal chute has been
filled up and preparations made for
nlling up the place where the old
turntable was situated, as soon as the
new turntable is installed. This is one
piece Of work which will be done by
the road and which will attract much
interest, as it is an exceedingly hard
)ob to lift up the heavy turntable and
place 1t on the pivot prepared for it.
