the initiative to place before the vot-
ers' decision
It's live important question and most of us know
something about it, ..a

OLNEY TURNS
DOWN JOB ON
The BOARD

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 5.
-Ex-Secretary of State Richard
Olney of Boston, having declined
the craftsmanship Of the federal
reserve board, President Wilson
was driven today to a revision Of
the entire list on which he had
tentatively decided.
Besides Olney the men whom
the president was understood to
have chosen were Paul M. War
burg of New York, Harry A.
Wheeler of Chicago, w. p. c..
Hardin of Birmingham, Ala, DIR.
A. C. Miller of San Francisco.
Warburg has accepted and 1t is
considered certain that Wheeler
and Miller will follow his exam
pie. 1t is thought that Hardin
would do so. The presumption
in administration circles was that
Warburg or Hardin, should the
latter accept, would be given the
craftsmanship. There is much
speculation as to who will be Sc
leeted to fill the fifth vacancy.

tried every means in his power
to get Mosolf to talk, his efforts
were fruitless.
1t is the consensus of opinion
among the friends of Mosolf that
the shooting was either accidental
or that he went suddenly insane.
Some of them think he was
breaking" the gun when 1t went
off with fatal effect.
DR.. Wilmot ID. Read examined
Nosolf for insanity last night, but
refused to express himself on the
subject at present. Prosecuting
Attorney Dow has not yet decided

SEATTLE, May J.-The joke
is on Dwight Meade, a matinee
idol here.
And Miss Jean Kirby, the allur-
ing vampire woman" in "A Fool
There Was" is the girl behind
the joke.
Meade plays the part OF the
Fool" with exceptional finish
and ability.
During the course of the play,
in perfectly theatrical and stage
sort OF way, he gets real rough
with Miss Kirby. II is a part of
his act to storm around and say
mean things and ''beat up the
woman who has made a fool of
him.
He had done it so often that he
began to believe it rather the ma
tural think until recently.
1t was tragic night for the
matinee idol.
After the play Meade met Miss
Kirby and the other players as
they stopped for a chat on the
stage.
Still a bit cross VIII ne, eh?"
he said, jokingly. Guess Ill have
to rough you a little more"
I'D like to see you try It,"
bantered Miss Kirby.
Meade, in a friendly way, tried
to repeat his stage performance.
He was unlucky. One poke
from the right arm OF Miss Kirby
sent him sprawling.
1T was all In fun" laughed
Meade and Miss Kirby afterward.
Miss Kirby gained her athletic
training at Notre Dame, where
she was amateur tennis cham
pion. She Is also an expert fencer
and all-around athlete.

A DARK KNIGHT,
When Knighthood Was In Flour.

Sir Guilbert quickly turned,
hoping against hope. With a
feeling of Joy he recognized the
dark knight, completely encased
in his black mail. With wicked
oath Cuthrote sprang toward the
intruder, snatching out his sword
and dropping the torch.
Il will smite thee in twain, in

The dark knight raised his
hand. His attitude was as fear

He spoke.

GIG HARBORITE WINS.
After much thinking, the
judges have decided that Floyd
E. Flood of Gig Harbor won the
81 200 prize for the best answer
to the question of why five and
five are eleven. Strangely enough,
he is the only one who detected
the catch in he proposition, which
lay under its seeming simplicity;
HIS ANSWER.
You ask why five and five are
eleven. You might ask why 16
and 80 are & hundred, or why
blue and black are white. After
consulting arithmetics, encyclo-
pedias, dictionaries and every
thing else under the sun, | find
five and five are but ten. Why
are five and five eleven? Why,
indeed?
l suppose you thought no one
would think to tell you five and
five were ten, no matter why you
asked they were something else,
but l was too clever for you.--
Floyd e. Flood, Gig Harbor.
Yes, Floyd, you were indeed
clever and the $1,000 is yours.
A blank check for the sum will
be sent to you today.

Love has no doubts. To itself love
IS the very substance of reality. The
phenomena Of sight, sound, touch and
their fellows, are but the conditions
under which life has made a foothold
for itself in this b%oisterous world;
the senses know nothing beyond their
own fu%nctioning, they have nothing to
say regarding the end or purpose Of
life. But to love-all the labor and
effort Of all the universe. with all it's

producing love. or what consequence
is it, whether insensible matter en-
dure a myriad years. or assume inf

Call For American Horses.

England is in the American market
for 10000 horses. Dealers as a result of
the var demand are reaping a big
profit. More than 5000 head have been
purchased in Pennsylvania n adjoin-
ing states. and the prices the foreign
buyers are paying ranges from $500 to
$500 a head. Shipments are made to
London for delivery. The last ship
ment. comprising 20 horses. manifested
at $35, 900. was shipped on the Atlantic
Transport company's liner Minnehaha.
which cleared from New York last
week for London.
The demand for American horses
caused by the war, according to Il
note issued by the department of ag-
riculture at Washington, may continue
a decade or longer, as when peace is
restored, more horses will be needed for
agriculture. 1t is c~OnServatiVely eSti-
mated that LOCO, 900 horses are now en-
gagged in the war.
A special train of q cars filled with
horses bought in the west for French
cavalry purposes is on the way from
ST. Louis to New York over h Van
dalia and connecting Pennsylvania
lines. PENNSYLVANIA railroad officials
here refused to give any details of the
shipment of horses, and would not say
When the special train would arrive in

It is known. however. that the train
left the National stock yards, st. louis.
onTuesday night and hat each Car
contained an average number of 25
horses. which would make the total
shipment more than 675 horses. Upon
arrival at New York the horses will be
transferred to a transport and. under
convoy of a French cruiser, will be con
veyed to France. A shipment of 1000
horses originally planned to De sent to
New York was forwarded to New Or

JELLIcoE is ENGLAND;
ALL DEPENDS ON HIM

Harold Begbie in london Chronicle.
There is no figure in the world at
the present momen SO dramatic rs
that Of Sir John Jellicoe. A British
admiral is always a solitary man; but
in war. and sue a war as this, his
solitude is appalling. When he stands
on the bridge there is no one at his
side to consult with; he looks over the
sea. and on every battleslllp, cruiser,
destroyer and torpedo boat swarming
round him a nan with a spyglass
watches his face; if he were to be
seen, like a general, consulting with u
staff. the whole fleet would curl it's
lip and feel a sinking of it's heart; no.
he stands alone. and in an instant he
must max up his mind, in a las
his orders must be given to every ship
under his command, in the twinkling
of ar eye he must decide for every
ship at sea. 1t is n one-man job; the
whole issues of the British empire
hang upon that single brain; Sir John
Jellicoe is England as Nelson was
England. and he is Europe and the
world as no other man that ever lived
vas Europe and the world.

which made the cos Of flour, sugar,

The serfdom Of the Greek sootblack
Edward Alsworth Ross, in the Century
MAGAZINE.

Magazine.
The ugliest thistle patch we owe to
old world seed is the SerfdOm of thous-
ands OF Greek boys in the shoeshinning
parlors that have run up every
where.
In some parts of Greece the peasant
sets his children early to work in order
that their earnings may leave him free
D loaf the livelong day in a coffee
house. Upon them, too. he saddles the
burden of providing dowries for their
sisters. Accordingly. in certain districts
the poor send away their boys to the
cities of Greece and Turkey. where they
are hired out to peddlers, grocers and
restaurant keepers, vino treat them
badly n work them Internationally
long hours. From such parents the
Greek in America has 40 difficulty in
recruiting boys. whom he exploits un-
der conditions that SAVIOR of slavery.
In thousands of Greek ~shoeshining
shops are working bound boys who are
miserably fed and lodged by their mas
tiers, paid from So to 81 a week and re-
quired to turn over all tips. Often the
tips alone cover the boys wages and
keep. so that his labor costs the master
nothing. Seeing that from ZACH boy the
padrone makes 500 to 5000 a year. a
chain of such establishments yields him
a princely income. Nc wonder the ne
gro and Italian bootblacks have been
forced to the wall.
The bound boys are on duty Is or
is hours a day. and work every day in
the year. They get in their eating and
sleeping as best they can. They know
no recreation. Late at night. completely
exhausted, they drop. with their clothes
on. ineo a. bed that must suffice for four
or five. Boys who have been in a city
several years may learn nothing of 1t
save the shop. their living quarters and
the street between. Since the padrone's
game is to keep his boys dumb and
blind. they are not allowed to talk free
