Spokane. Wash, May 13.-Cupid has
conquered the lure of the circus. 81.
His victory centers in the romance Of
Josephine Clarke, daughter of the Eu-
Iopean aristocracy of circus riders. and

grad and part owner of $4,000 acre
slice of rich Argentine land. South
America "'+ .-.7 -.
Mrs. Miller--of course, they're Mr..

the story, The Call of the Calliope," by
L. r. Yates in a recent issue of the
Saturday Evening Post. After a visit
in Spokane they are going back to South
America and will live in Beunos Aires
until a railroad bitches up the big
ranch with civilization.
E. Anyone who has seen Ringing Broth
ers' circus will remember the graceful
girl who rode a snow-white horse to
the delight of all the patrons of the
show. The girl was Josephine Clarke.
For generations before her, the Clarke
family came of the blue-bloods famous

AMEND TEE LAw-AUTHoRIxIN
TAX ASSESSORS.

While there are some few people who
claim improved conditions regarding the
law authorizing tax assessors-there
are dozens of citizens who are taxed out
of reason, and who find it the easiest
sort of a plan to reward your friends
and punish your enemies Like the
endurance of a partisan judge who re-
wards his friends and Furnishes his enc
mies-it soon comes to be tyranny hard
to be endured-and especially hard to
defeat and abolish.
To illustrates: l am well acquainted
with a taxpayer whose land lies around
and adjacent to two neighbors with well
improved and cultivated farms. Be
cause the powers that be" are inimical
to the first mentioned taXpayer-and
friendly to the two here alluded to
the tax rate is exactly doubled on the
land that lies around and is made to pay
mora than three times per acre valua-
ton on the other land that is adjacent
and within short distance away.
l know another case where a taxpay-
er's improved land was lowered tc
$3.50 per acre-while inferior land adj
Joining and owned by one who is I'M
fortunately not so well-liked by the
"boss"-was raised from SIS to $40 per
acre. These are facts that are clearly
within my own knowledge. No protest
avails in these two illustrations. Adj
hitting that they know nothing as as
SCISSORS about the lands in question-re-
fusing to visit the properties-if they
are conveyed without expense to them
Selves-the landowner is convinced
that the new law should then require
arbitrators-who are willing to ex-
anime the land in person-or certainly
deliver the people from assessors who
are subservient to boss rule-after the
facts are made plain to the proper au-
thorities.
Also, it is simply fearful that one
county should be gerrymandered into
fearful tax rate, while surrounding
counties are reduced to one-third and in
some instances to one-half. Something
must be done and that right early.

MEXICAN H1NDRANcEs.

1 heard a friend of mine ask an astute
lawyer the following question: IF Car
rama, is the recognized authority in
Mexico, why do we not sa yto CarTanza
Pancho Villat"-and if Villa
is not forthcoming, then say to Car
rama: You are no good. The United
States cannot fool with you if you can
do nothing in the delivery of Villa"
For my own part l do not suppose
Carranza can bring Villa to us and I
do not believe Carranza is anxious to
produce Villa, and | shall be much sur
prised if we do not find Villa and
CarranZa and Obregon far more deter
mined to fight our troops than to fight
each other. l have never believed that
Carranza was in sympathy with the
United States. Perhaps it would be too
much to expect him to be when his Mex
lean bandits are so inimical to us and
such they are known to be. The presi-
dent has used all sorts of diplomacy
in Mexico to evade general hostilities.
but the time is near at hand, in my
opinion, when the United States gov
eminent must abandon Mexico in toto,
or go in for Intervention with strong
arm.
As it looks now to a patriot without
any political or sectional pTejudices to
hinder a dispaSsionate conclusion, | be-
lieve we are reaching a place where the
strong arm is demanded .--
The entertainments in New Mexico,
Arizona and Texas are worthy of at
tention. As long as they are recognized
as states sof our federal union they de-
serve protection. t-,
can readily understand the pTesi-
dents unwillingness to enter upon gen.
eral hostilities In Mexico but the time
can easily come when ne may feel
obliged to do SO as commandments
of the army and navy or the United
States.

Cigarette smoking is common in Eng

there earlier than in America. Three
fourths of the applicants for the army

SENATE PASSES
STRICKLETF BILL
Dry Democrats Say ReappOr.
lionment Is a Deal Between
Vets and Republicans.

Frankfort, KY, March 3.-The pas
sage in the senate of the Stricklett
bill to reapportion Kentucky into
thirty-eight senatorial districts, and
the failure in the house to pass the
woman suffrage amendment were
features of Thursdays proceedings in
the general assembly. Both houses
were in session until nearly 6 o'clock.
The Stricklett redistricting bill was
a compromise measure which had
been agreed upon by the republicans
and the administration democrats.
The measure met strenuous oppose
ton from ''dry" senators, who
charged that the bill had been framed
in such a manner that it strikes three
names from the list of statewide men,
bers in the upper branch.
Senator w. A. Frost charged re-
publican senators had entered into a
IDEAL" with "wet" democratic sena-
tors in which they were promised a
redistricting bill on condition that they
would swing enough votes to kill his
statewide prohibition bill.
The effort to put the woman suf-
frage bill on its passage in the house
received fifty-one votes while thirty
six votes were cast against the motion.
II was defeated since a majority of
two-thirds is needed to suspend the
rules.
Another feature of interest was the
passage in the house of Representa-
tive Murphy's bill to provide severe
penalties for making handhooks,

A Child Hates Oil,
Calomel, Pills For
Liver and Bowels!
Give california Syrup of Figs" If
Gross, Sick, Feverish,
Constipated

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children, it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form
of physic simply don't realize what
they do. The children's revolt is
well founded. Their tender little
"insides" are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoon
full given today saves a sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle of California Syrup of Figs
which has all directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See that it
is made by California Fig Syrup
Company" Refuse any other kind
with contempt. COL

In the Tilden-Hayes campaign of
1916 for two months excitement was
constantly at fever heat and threat
ened to break out in "ioting.
Many Democratic leaders advocat-
ed armed resistance to the seating of

passed without any bloodshed in this
locality.
Coming down to more recent times
many voters can recall the troublous
days after the election of 1884,
when for nearly week it was I'M
