OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

Directly Miles Poindexter does not seem
to have one chance in thousand to get
the Republican nomination for president,
but indirectly his chances seem exceed
ingly good. 1t is very doubtful if another
state, save his home state, instructs her
delegates to cast their votes for him for
the nomination and if there is a deadlock
in the convention, which at this writing
seems highly probable, then the almost
entire johnson strength will, it is claimed,
go to Poindexter. The senator himself is
quite confident that much Of the New York
delegation will go to him, in case OF
deadlock and not only from New York, but
from all parts Of the East, all Of which
gives hope that he will be honored bX
the Chicago Convention.
For the past week he has been the guest
of the Puget Sound citizenry and one and
all have given him most cordial recep-
ton, to which he has responded in kind.
His speech before the Belllngham conven-
ton was quite in keeping with the high
honor to which he aspires and the one be-
fore the Young Men, s Republican Club was
no less commendable. But whether he be
nominated or not there is no denying that
his presidential candidacy has placed the
state of Washington on the map.
Seattle should either be an "open town.
from a gambling standpoint, or closed
one, that is to say, police protection for
any form of vice should be eliminated. The
average law breaker believes that every
policeman in Seattle can be bribed, if you
can only get to him in time. How much
of this be actually true we verify doth not
know, it may be all or none is true, but
that s the belief Of the law breaker, and
where there is so much smoke there is
bound to be some fire, but be that as it
will or may, the suspicious and the sus:
pected characters on the police force should
be weeded out If Mayor Caldwell carries
out his threat and places felony charges
against the proprietors Of gambling games
it will be like throwing monkey wrench
into the machinery. The brlbe takers, II
such there be on the police force should be
summari]v dismissed That's all.

WHAT A COME DOWN

Grant and McGraw in their graves
must burn, when Kellogg and Bill
Whitney do a turn, that men Of let
ters and Of brains, performed with pa
tience and with pains Once on time
King county led, in placing politicians
in the bed, and her leaders did stunt,
which was directed by Leigh Hunt,
and when King county gave the word
to her, the politicians came in herds.
But under Jay and Bill that's past,
and Kings aspirants now come last,
while they perform the shimmie dance,
and swoon into a self conceited trance.
They tie a string to Walkers coat
and pull it hard when he's to vote,
and he is signalled when to roar, to
catch the gallery gang for some more.
But Jay, and George and Bill got left,
which leaves King county quite bereft,
and Hunt and Grant and John Nc
Graw would say that trio is quite
raw, to let the largest county in the
state have no say in making up the
slate. But may the time to King yet
come, when Jay and Bill will have no
gum, and then King county will get
her place and fill the same with pride
and grace, the place McGraw, Grant
and Hunt cut out and Bill and Jay
are put to rout. In Rellingham they
made mess and our delegates stood
witness, but ere another gathering Of
the clans, those pin heads should be
cached in cans, where they can rattle
round like shot, when shook by chub-
by handed tots, ad in their graves our
heroes then will rest, for King no
longer will have Bill-Jay pest.

ANOTHER SAD MISTAKE

Guilty of having received stolen goods
knowingly was the verdict of the jury in the
case of the State VS.. H. G. Bell, retired
non-commissioned army officer, and when we
heard about it, the time worn addage, 'hon-
esty is the best poicy,'' suddenly flashed
into our mind and we answered the thought
wave with, Faint it true' These near
cuts to wealth frequently either end in
smash ups or in wilderness wanderings. In
order to reach the top of Mt Success by
leaps and bounds Sergeant Bell blotted out
an unblemished thirty-year army record,
and his life of usefulness is to end in shame
and disgrace, rather than in flame of glory
as it would have had he have stuck to the
text he has pursued all of his life, honesty
is the best policy.

MISS BEVERAGE SOUNDS A CALL
TO WOMEN.

Miss Edna Beverage, of Balti-
more, a noted lecturer and worker in
the interest of women, spoke to a
large audience at the court house in
this city yesterday afternoon on the
many problems that will confront
the women Of to-day when they &C
quire their new boon of suffrage.
Miss Beverage, who is an inter-
esting and brilliant talker, came to
Paris at the personal solicitation of
Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, of Lexing-
ton, the main object of her visit be-
ing to form a study class in citizen
ship. Such classes are being FORM
ed throughout the country and are
of the greatest Importance to the
women. Miss Beverages talk was
an inspiration to these women who
are interested in preparing them
explained in a clear, comprehensive
manner just what is to be expected
of the women in this day of recon-
struction, and just what they may
expect to accomplish As loyal
American women they must be ready
to assume the obligations about to
come to them in being extended the
right Of suffrage. Whether they de-
sire it or not the duty is here, and
the obligation must be assumed.
She explained to her audience that
there are many problems in these
days that can only be solved by an
understanding of the functions of
government and by legislative acts,
and that women, therefore, should
qualify theselves to be efficient and
inteliingent voters. Her address
periods in it were literally ap-
paluded.

TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS A
GRAND.

Clarence Sprake, local manager OF
the Paris Grand. received instruc-
tions Wednesday from John B. Elil-
oft, president of the Phoenix Amuse-
ment Company Jesse of the house. to
make all necessary improvements in
the matter of exits for the audi
ences.
This action was taken after
Mayor January had, on behalf of
patrons of the house, made represen-
tations showing the congestion OBJ
tanned at places of exit at nearly
very performance. The Grand will
be placed on an equal footing with
any other play house in the coun-
try in the matter of safeguarding
the audience There has never
been a question of the ability to
speedily empty the house in case of
a fire or other disorder, but the
complaint has been the narrow pas
sage afforded for the crowds coming
in and going out.

TRUCK LOAD OF BOOZE HERE
SUNDAY NIGHT

A big motor truck, in the back of
which reposed six barrels of the IA
mous old stuff that gave Kentucky
great name in the past, drew up in
front of a local restaurant Sunday
night. From the front seat two
men and two young women alighted.
The precious load of joy-dispenser
was left to guard itself while the
quartet went into the restaurant to
refresh themselves. Some passer-by
telephoned the police as to the pres
ence and suspicious actions OF the
party, but before they arrived on the
scene the outfit left, headed appar-
emily for Lexington. 1t was said
that the two men were former sa-
loon-keepers Of Lexington. Longing
eyes were cast upon the truck load
of whisky as it stood on the street,
but no attempt was made to alb
stract any of the contents.

MYSTERY FOLLOWS MYSTERY

"A Mystery Book" should be the
title OF any volume written around
recent mysterious happenings in
Paris. Especially would it apply to
the recent craze manifested by some
one for diamond rings belonging to
Paris people. The ones engaged in
il seem to find some pleasure and
excitement, but no finincial benefit.
Sometime ago valuable rings be-
longing to young women of this
city, which had been stolen, pur-
Joined or surreptitiously or other
wise illegal persif1age) unlawfully
removed from the premises or from
the control of the lawful owners
thereof, were equally as mysterious
in the manner of their return. One
of the victims found her ring hung
on a front door knob. Another
found her ring lying on the dresser
from which it had been stolen, but
another ring is still missing
About a week ago a diamond ring
valued at $500. mysteriously disap-
peared from the home of Mrs. VIM.
Farris. The matter was reported to
the police and a reward of $50 for
the return of the ring, "and no
questions asked" was offered Time
wore on, and nothing more was
last Tuesday morning, knock
was heard on a window shutter, also
the sound of rapidly-reterating foot
steps. A member of the Farris
family investigated, and found the
ring tied to a stout piece of cord,
suspended from a window shutter.
Another mystery that is causing
she gossips to wag their tongues is
the appearance on the streets dur
ing the past few nights of a woman
masquerading in mans clothing.
and sporting a painted false mus
tache. The shrew eyes of a small
boy pierced through the woman's
disguise Tuesday night, and he soon
had crowd of his associates fol-
lowing the masquerade. Seeing
that she was discovered the woman
took to flight and eluded her pursu-
CTS in the vicinity OF the traction
office.
