troubles than from tuberculosis
of the lungs. If the deaths due
to these diseases keep up at the
same rate as the 1914 records
show, it means that on an average
Of every 13 persons you meet, one
would succumb to this lingering
death.
Something should be done and
a good deal could be done to pre-
vent some of this loss of life.
Diabetes and Bright s disease kill
the patient by slow torture. Their
onset is usually so gradual and
insidious that the victim is be-
yond help before he is aware of
the terrible calamity that has
come to him.
The causes which are chiefly
responsible for the onset of these
troubles are errors in diet, bad
habits, lack of exercise, irregular
hours, overwork, loss of sleep,
and impure air.
All Of these diseases can be de-
tected by urinary examination, as
"A rule, before any other distinc-
tive symptoms arise.
In the light of these facts it
would seem advisable, and even
imperative, that every person over
40 years Of age should have
urinary examination made at
least every year or two. Possibly
these examinations could be made
by the health laboratories with
out charge to the individual
Washington state board Of health.

The four large organizations Of
railway employees have combined
in nationwide movement to Sc
cure the 8-hour day. The move
ment is said to involve about
100000 men, on 280,000 miles of
railway line. Officers of the
trainmen MS organizations are
quoted as saying that they will
not arbitrate, but that a general
strike will be called unless the g.
hour day is granted. The rail
ways have already started a Wig
orous campaign by letters, circu-
lars, pamphlets, and in newspaper
interviews, to kill the movement,
5erting that the 8-hour day
would mean an increased payroll
Of 25 per cent, or $100,000,00.
But the 8-hour day is likely to
come even to the overalled or uni
formed employees of the roads.
The officers of the great railway
systems, the "higher-ups," the fl
nancial manipulatOrs who have
waxed rich from business in
trigues in directors parlors, have
long had their S-hour day-or
less. They have gutted the fl
nances Of the railway systems for
their own individual gain, forget
full alike of the stockholders
scattered in the little homes of
the country, and of the myriad
of men who toll in hazardous oc-
equations in the yards, in the
coaches, and on the tracks.
There is always a turning point
That time seems to have come with
the railroads. Their years of
grating record have brought
them the whirlwind. There is no
sympathy except for those who
have paid with their toll. Those
who have received the pay-with-
out the toil-should be forced to
do the paying now.
Arguments against an 8-hour
day were considered seriously
years ago. Now the 8-hour day
is accepted-except by those last
few remaining members of the old
guard who demand all for them
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-02-12

At the last session of the legis-
lature, the republican leadership
took pains to strip from Cover
nor Lister the power of appoint
ing this state IS tax commission,
the body which fixes the tax on
railways and telegraphs. Several
plausible reasons were assigned,
but regardless of real reasons, the
deed was done, and the majority
power of the tax board placed
in the hands of the state S republi-
can machine at Olympia.
Now comes the announcement
that the taxpayers of Stevens
county can help to pay for it.
The Great Northern s taxes in this
county have been cut-nOt by
Governor Lister, or his board, but
by the board which was put in
to replace Listers board,
The Great Northern valuation
in Stevens county is this year cut
S1S3,693 on main line, the side
track valuation is also cut more
than so per cent, the personal
property valuation on main line
is also cut 20 per cent, and the
personal property on sidetrack is
also cut more than 60 per cent.
There was a real reason for TAX
ing the tax fixing power out OF
Listers hands and putting it in
the hands Of the republican ma
chine.
We hesitate to question who
got the money-but we know to
a certainty who will pay the diff
ference. The man on the small
farm is the man who pays the
highest ratio Of taxes, and he will
be the man to help pay the taxes
which are no longer paid by the
Great Northern railroad in this
county.
A railroad lobby is nice thing
for the railroad Since lister
drove the lobbyists from the
state capitol during his first legis-
lature, it has been anything to
beat LISTER The numerous
aspirants for the chance to beat
Lister this fall indicate that there
must be something worth Will"
in being a governor different from
Lister.

lied Athletes
Fare Very Well

The loss of an arm or leg doesn't
seem to be much of handicap to
athletes who have within them game
ness, courage and the fighting spirit.
Louis Martucci, who lost an arm
in childhood, ranks today as one of
the best golfers in America. A one
armed chap named Nicely is varsity
guard for Dartmouth. And foot ball,
you know, is a game where It has
always been figured that both arms
we're absolutely essential for tackling
purposes. Out in Ohio there was a
youngster who lost leg some years
ago and afterward took rank as one
of the best basketball players in his
vicinity.
Ernest Jones, once a star golfer in
England, went to war and came back
minus leg. So handicapped, he re-
sumed golf and is playing the game
with almost the same skill that he
showed earlier. On the Pacific coast
there's youngster who lost hand
some years ago and then took up
prize fighting. He is coming to the
front rapidly. Mordecai Brown never
was a real pitcher until he lost parts
of some fingers on his pitching hand.

Yell Aids Corbett
To Become Champion

James J. Corbett was in a Fifth
avenue, New York, hotel recently,
when little old 1rishman made his
way through the crowd Of Corbett
admirers and, grabbing the once
famous pugilist by the hand, said:
"Say, don't you remember me, Mr..
Corbett?"
Don't know that remember you"
replied Gentleman Jim.
We'll, you certainly ought to re-
member me--look again."
Corbett sized the fellow up crit.
cally, but could not place him.
why, Jim Corbett, I'm the fellow
who sat back of your corner at New
Orleans twenty-four years ago on
Tuesday and yelled at you, You're
not Irish If you don't lick him in the
next round And you jumped from
your corner at the sound of the bell,
and with a right-hand jolt knocked
Sullivan out and became the champion
of the world. Away will believe that
| made you the champion"

Pastor Announces
Result Of Combat
From His Pulpit

The Rev. Frank Hole, pastor of the
Christian church at Pine Village, Ind,
enters his pulpit on Sunday evening,
looks over the auditorium of the
church, and then announces the Pine
Village foot ball score for the day. In
his six years at the church the min-
lister has announced but two defeats
for the town team. Pine Village went
down twice this season, for the first
defeats in thirteen years.
There is no demonstration following
the weekly announcement by the min
lister, but always there is buzz of
conversation for minute or two rela-
tive to the game, during which Mr..
Hole prepares to deliver the regular
evening sermon. Lesley Hole, son
Of the minister, is substitute on the
team, and the minister, when it is pos
sible to get away from his work, prac-
tees with the team. The majority
Of the members Of the team attend
the church.

Lyman Corr Saves
Game at West Point
For South Eleven

Lyman Corr, Coach Pattof's all
star end At South High. proved inval-
liable In the game with West Point
Friday which the Souths won, ~
to -, With the score Is to 0 In favor
Of West Point at the end OF the first
hall, Corr was shifted from end to
fullback, the place vacated by Nestor,
and the tables were turned. An Of
fensive was started that brought two
touchdowns in the third quarter and
another in the fourth.
Two regulars were missing from
the South lineup when the game
started. Nestor, fullback, was out on
account Of delinquent studies and
Rugie, heavy tackle, missed the train
by twenty minutes. Despite this hand
leap, the team staged . comeback
that was little less than sensational,
considering the powerful Norfolk
team had barely defeated the West
Pointers by score OF IA to 7.
The West Point touchdowns were
made on practical iiukes, the first
after Adams, left end, scooped up 4
tumble at the kickoff and raced .
few yards to the goal line, and the
second on a trick play. Dcnison, Ia,

DREYFUSS MAKES
WAR ON COMMISH
Pittsburgh Magnate Has Plan
to Fire Hermann, Johnson
and Tener from Court.
WANTS NEUTRALs ON JOB

New York, Nov. ll.-Barney Drey-
fuss has decreed that there must be
a new National commission in base
ball, so it's time to get busy picking
the successors to Ban Johnson, John
X. Tener and Garry Hermann. So
far the candidates have been a bit
backward about coming forward. Per-
haps that Isl Tue to the fact that two
members of the commission serve
without salary, while the chairman
draws only $1,000 a year for putting
in $4,000 worth of time and absorb
ing 100000 worth Of abuse.
If Ban, Garry and John can get
hold of Barney and cool him out,
they may be allowed to keep their
jobs. However, there is little hope
for them now. Barney has had his
mind made up ever since Garry Herr
mann, his little National league pal,
voted Player George Sisler into the
American league. Hence, Barney is
coming to the league meetings with
plans and specifications for = new
commission.
Dreyfuss has already indicted
Hermann. In case it is necessary for
anybody to bring charges against
Johnson, John ]. McGraw will read
lily oblige. Casey Stengel is willing
to go on any note of protest against
Governor Tener, because the COVER
nor fined him that time Quigley put
him out of the game at the Polo
grounds.
II Is understood that Dreyfuss will
urge the appointment of three men
who have no financial interest in base
ball and yet have the GOOD of the
game at heart. They must be neutral
- all respects. Dreyfuss' slate is not
known.
Peace is Worse.
The time has come when the "war
babies" of base ball can apply Cen
eral Sherinan's definition Of war to
the blighting peace that has settled
over the national game. One year
ago the Federal league was threat
ening to put club in New York, the
rival leagues there were thrusting fat
contracts under the noses of the more
desirable players, and an athlete, after
visit to his employer, often had to
keep his hands in his pocket to pre-
vent the benevolent fnagnate from
stuffing some advance money in them.
Those good old days have gone.
The Feds are remembered only when
a club owner peruses a contract that
has another year or two to run. In
the major leagues the club owners
have not even thought about sending
out contracts for 1917. There is no
place for the boys to jump this winter
and those who are out in the cold will
wait until after Christmas to receive
the bad news through the mails.
Perhaps forty players in the Ma
tional league are protected for
another year under their wartime
contracts. Most of the lads who
signed the non-reserve documents iii
1914, however, refused to bind them
selves for more than two years. Some
OF these players will be in the minors
next year, and with them will 60 per.
haps eight or ten of former Federal
leaguers who were out Of place in
fast company last season.
