LISTER MAKES
GOOD SHOWING

The state of Washington start
ed its new fiscal biennium April
1, a million and a quarter dollars
better off financially than it was
two years ago, the monthly
statement of State Treasurer Ed
ward Meath shows. When Gov
ernor Lister and the new state
treasurer were inaugurated the
state general fund was not mere
ly exhausted but considerably
overdrawn, this overdraft total
ing $555, 039 April l, 1913.
In addition the most extrava-
CANT legislature in the history of
the state had appropriated near
ly $8,O00.0OO from the general
fund, making it necessary for
the state board of equalization to
increase the general fund levy to
three mills, the extreme statu-
tory limit, in 1918.
Even this levy would have
been insufficient to have brought
the general fund out of "the
red" had all appropriations been
expended. Careful and con-
servative expenditures, however,
made it possible to save a con-
siderable portion of the money
appropriated, this money revert
ing to the general fund at the
end of the biennium.
AS a result the general fund
now shows, instead of an over
draft, cash balance of $727, 938.
A total cash balance of all state
funds amounts to So, 1884, 565.
In the fear of a general de-
mand to retain an economical
governor, the republican legisla-
ture used every means to dis
credit the governors work, but
the state treasurer's report seems
to give the governor a measure
of credit for his efforts in behalf
of lower taxation.

Since the public discovery that
the anti-saloon league worked
with the standpat element of
the republican legislature in kill
ing the initiative law, consider
able attention has again been
directed to the inside work.
ings of that organization. To
those on the inside of the po-
litical workings of this state,
it has long been known that the
league was an important adjunct
of the republican organization in
this state. The Examiner has
frequently noted the fact, and
shown their cleverness in being
able to play politics through
various favorable pulpits through
out the state.
In the official organ of the
league, April 2, it is admitted
that the republican bill which
killed the initiative is approved,
and previously Supt. Conger
admitted that the bill was passed
with the approval and assistance
of the league officials.
After six years of playing poll
tics, the people who put up
money to support the league have
a net result of most state Offices
being filled with republicans, the
initiative law killed, and a new
law next year which gives every
adult full information and privi-
lege in buying quart of whis-
key for every 10 days-and the
league officials still drawing their
salaries.

Members of all parties invited
violate or fail to comply with the
provisions of this act, and every
person who shall wilfully violate
any of the provisions of this act,
shall be guilty of a felony. Thus,
it will be seen, that person who
stands convicted of a violation of
the registration law in any par
ticular would be sentenced to
term in the state penitentiary.
In Stevens county, where the
total vote is approximately 5000,
the cost of registration will be
$500. Should there be ten or
more initiative or referendum pc
titions, as was the case at the
last election, it would require
more than $4,000 to cover the cost.
Then, add to this the expense of
the primary election and the gen.
eraI election with the incidental
expenses of the scheme of fran
chise which will crowd $1,000, we
can readily understand why Gov
ernor Lister landed upon the bill
with his veto. The republican
legislature, in overriding this
veto, did not count the cost to
the taxpayer.

ing to ask the government to
place me in the front ranks of
our army" said Vice President
Marshall in a talk at Chicago, and
intimated it would be more be-
coming for those who would see
this country at war to join the
army before they did their writ
ing and talking on the subject.
The fact is that nobody wants
war-except perhaps a few of
the men already in the army who
have fitted themselves to make
war their profession. But the
men who are talking and writing
about the nations honor and
multiplying insults" from other
countries and what we ought to
do to Mexico and England and
Germany and Japan and all the
rest of them those men don't
want war. They would fight to
the last drop of ink against being
enrolled as soldiers to uphold the
nations honor. They would
shrek curses both loud and deep
on the head of anybody who
tried to make them stand up and
face hostile bullets-dum-dum or
otherwise.
What they want is not war,
but political pap. They are the
outs, you will notice. They are
the men who see no chance to
get something extra for them
selves or their friends unless the
party that favors special privi-
leges for some and equal rights
for nobody is in power.
What they want is not war, but
to oust Woodrow Wilson from the
White House and to restore the
conditions of Federal favoritlsm
and political plunder that existed
before he went into the White
House. They haven't been able
to find anything real to get hold
of as means to attack President
Wilson, and so they are yelling
about war and national honor and
insults from abroad and trying
by their outcries to discredit an
administration that has done more
for the country as an entirety,
both home and abroad. than has
been done by any other admins

Lincoln.

The last suggestion is particularly
calculated to shock the average news

editor The insinuation that American
editors are such sordid lot of men,
with SO little appreciation OF public
duty and responsibility, that they
support this or that public policy be-
cause they have a financial interest
in it, and oppose other policies only
when such an interest is absent, Is d
strange commentary on the freest,
most honest and conscientious public
press that any country has ever pos

| In no other business are the emolu-
ments so slight in proportion to the
effort expended and the service rem
dered, as in journalism. And editors
and reporters are not ashamed OF
their modest incomes. They are

proof of the lack of financial interest
that Mr. Bryan seems to suggest as

railroad would reduce the time re-
quired in travelling from one section
of the state to the other to a matter
of hours instead of days as at present.
Mr.. McBeth states that Governor
Alexander expresses the greatest con-
fidence in his ability to finance the
enterprise.
Much Mining Activity.
Mr.. McBeth, in addition to being
heavily interested in mining opera
tions in Custer county, is In close
touch with the mining industry
throughout the state. He says that
there is more activity In mining at the
present time than there has been in
derful future for the industry. In
Custer. Lemhi and Idaho counties
particularly important discoveries
have been made and old properties are
again on the active list due to the
favorable condition of the metal mar
ket. Transportation is the one thing
needed in those counties, and the
splendid showings of mineral deposits
should soon remedy this difficulty. He
had just received information Of a
rush to the old camp Of Bonanza, in
Custer county, on account of a new
discovery that had been made and he
thought it probable that some one
had finally found the Lost Swaine
mine. Many years ago prospectol
named Swaine had discovered rich
gold ledge near Bonanza, and before
the location became known he was
drowned in crossing the Salmon river
Samples he had taken from the ledge
were found, but all efforts to locate
the place from which they came had
failed.
Mr.. McBeth reports the Idaho Min
ing Association in good condition and
the membership steadily increasing
He expects the state to be largely
represented at the meeting of the Am
erican Mining Congress In San Fran
cisco in September.

Hon. Ravenel MeBeth, who has been
senator from Custer county from a
date beyond which the memory of man
runneth not, is in the city on business
in his capacity as secretary of the Ida
no Mining association. He came north
with Governor Alexander and his par
ty of railroad experts who were en-
gagged in locating feasible line
through the mountains of central Ida
no from the comfortable cushions OF
automobiles. 1t Is fair to presume
that while on that trip and in the
fastness of the mountains the gov
ernor and his partisan associates var
led the discussion from building a
north and south railroad to the con-
servation of the democratic party In
Idaho, and that plans were considered
looking to tightening the governors
grip which would assure him another
term In the state house, the saving OF
another million to the oppressed peo-
ple. and a continuation of his cam
paign for the moral upllft of the state
But these are merely matters of sur
mise, for Mr.. McBeth very discreetlS
eschews politics when travelling over

of one point about IA miles below

AS at the crap tables, huge piles of
! silver dollars are displayed at the ta-
bles, the dollars being neatly arranged
in stacks of 20 each, totalling about
$1,000. Players are given checks to
play with, so that the count can be
kept straight. Mexicans are allowed
to play with the Villa currency, which
is now selling at cents on the peso,
The heaviest play is Saturday and
Sunday nights, when the huge hall is
jammed and players at the roulette
table reach over one another's Shout

recorded, but they are few and far be-
tween and are usually made by Mexi-
can officers, whose display of arma-
ment may have something to do with
the result.
Employ American Dealers.
Ranged along the walls are faro,
stud poker, fantan and monte games,
where the play is always heavy, espe-
cially during the racing season. With
the exception of the monte all Of these
games are operated by American deal
ers. Famous faro dealers who have

games are run day and night and a
large staff of dealers is required to
operate them.

Even to the most puritanical minds

tense crowd, the click of chips and the
whir of the roulette wheel, holds a
sort of fascination Add to the ordin.

thy Mexicans spurred and booted
with each man prominently displaying
a silver mounted revolver, a Mexican
band playing La Paloma," and the
knowledge that at any moment false
move by dealer will bring all of the
revolvers into action, and one has the
ideal setting and romance for the go7-
dess of chance.
The setting is found at Juarez, Mex

from Ell Paso, Texas, where nightly

and a motley collection Of tourists

tied Nome, Alaska, Goldfield and Ton

that, though the stakes wagered were
larger, for actual size, equipment and
variety of games the gambling hall in
Juarez is the largest they have ever
seen.
Owned by Villa.
The gambling hall is a commercial
venture of General Francisco Villa
and has, since its opening 10 days af-
ter the northern leader took the town
In a night surprise attack, proved
highly profitable. It Is conducted by
his brother, Hippolito, who now drives
about Juarez In high priced car,
though FIVE years ago he was content
to mount burro and dangle his legs
down beside an array of milk cans.
Rumor has it in Juarez that each
night the winnings are counted di-
yided into two equal piles, and then
made up into neat bundles, one of
which Is despatched by trusted mes
senger to General Villa, the messen-
ger being instructed to deliver the
package to the general, no matter to
what spot the exigencies of war may
have driven him.
Furniture and Fixtures.
A half dozen stores were confiscat-
ed for a site for the gambling hall.
Partitions have been knocked out, and
the place now has floor space OF half
a city block, with additions constantly
being made. The fittings, except for
