FREIGHT REDUCTION
Charge Prices For Cattle Not
Enough to Meet Freight
Charges.

Washington reduction in freight
rates was asked of the interstate com
merce commission by six of the largest
cattlemen's associations of the West.
Their spokesman told the commission
that market prices on sheep, cattle
and wool had fallen so low that west
ern cattle raisers and farmers no
longer were able to sell their produce
for enough to pay freight rates.
The complaint contended that finan.
cial conditions made it impossible to
obtain loans to condition cattle for
market properly and that growers
were compelled to sell for whatever
they can get in an unmarketable con
dition."
Joining in the complaint were the
National Livestock Shippers league,
the American National Livestock asso-
citation, the National Wool Growers
and others.
1t was claimed that increases due to
the commissions decision last August
amounted to S4O,5OO,OOO annually to
the cattlemen in freight rates.

1t required less than 10 minutes for
the house to concur in senate amend
ments to the civil administrative code
and pass the measure by vote of IS
to 5.
Morthland's bill maintaining treaty
rights of the Yakima Indians to fish
for salmon at Prosser, despite the
state law prohibiting such fishing
within AGO feet of dam, passed the
senate.
The legislative investigation OF the
activities of the state reclamation
service and the land settlement board
was temporarily halted when a resolu-
ton was rushed through both houses
providing for continuation of the in
vestigation only upon written charges
filed by those having complaint to
make against the actions or policies
OF the boards
Majority reports of the judiciary
committee to the house recommended
that two of Mrs. Anna X. Colwells
bills, one raising the marriageable age
of women from IS to 81, and the other
the age of majority of women from
Is to q, and the bill introduced by
Representative Triple, prohibiting
marriage between white persons and
those with negro or Monaghan blood,
do not pass.
The senate adopted the report of the
banks and banking committee recon.
mending indefinite postponement OF
Senator Fawcett's resolution calling
for legislative investigation of the
failure of the Scandinavian American
bank at Tacoma. The senate also In.
definitely postponed the bill intro.
duced by Fawcett making 1t manda.
tory upon all state banks to become
members of the State Bank Guaranty
&und association.

How Long VIII Your Battery Last?

MYTH any battery, the answer is
Wv Until certain amount Of active
material has fallen of The plates.
In the Philco Retainer Battery, this fall
ing off is long delayed. The active ma
terial is held firmly in place by Philco
Retainers-thin sheets of slotted hard
rubber whose slots are so numerous that
they allow the free passage of acid and
current, but so narrow that the active
material cannot readily pass through.
The Philco Retainer is like log boom,
which let's the water through but holds
the logs back.

advantage to the other Powers than
il is to herself. Here is a nation
with thousands of miles of coast and
with territory scattered through the
Caribbean and the Pacific offering to
stop building war vessels for ten
years if other empires of the sea will
follow suit.
What must Europe think? She
has listened to three years OF
theorizing and hairsplitting and
speeches that meant nothing. And
now, in a few minutes. in pro-
posal so plainly stated that the chill
dren in the streets understand it,,
America shows the way. 1t is a real
way, not the way of that diplomacy
Of which the world has grown tired.
1t is way that would destroy mill
tarism, but not nationalism. 1t
would destroy waste, but not defence.
It would end for years the jealous
race of nations for the gun suprem-
acy of the oceans. Perhaps forever,
because, while the programme calls
for naval holiday for ten years, who
will say that in a peaceful 1881 any
body will like to rise and call for a
return to the old game of overmatch-
ing dreadnoughts?

Mrs. George J. Gould.

The news of Mrs GEORGE j.
GoULD's death on Sunday waSa very
great shock and grief to all New
York, for Mrs. GOULD had an individ-
uality that made her known to and
loved by all.
AS EDITH KINGDOM, a young girl
in the DAILY company, she quickly
won general admiration through her
beauty and her conspicuous talents,
her personality and her exceptional
charm.
With this introduction to New
York, and with her marriage to
GEORGE j. GOULD, one Of the wealthiest
young men Of the city, she came into
a position which made possible to
her the expression of her soul in
kindness and sweetness and genuine
cordiality.
And so the sweet, talented girl ac-
tress became the gracious hostess Of
one of New York's outstanding fami-
lies, and as such always played we'll
her part, as she had in Mr.. DAYS.
unique company of great artists.
Mrs. GoULp made the world
brighter for having lived in it. Mrs.
GOULD never allowed the hungry to
go unfed, never allowed the sad and
depressed and downhearted to come
within the sphere Of her influence
without feeling the inspiration Of her
rich human sympathy.
The passing of Mrs. GOULD takes
from New York one whose life
touched the activities Of the city in
many of their dissimilar manifesto
tions, and contributed richly to them
all.

The Secluded Dwelling.

From the Nation and the Athenaeun,.
when ! shall enter first my grave,
The last Of all the homes I've tried,
I shall look round and say: This cave
Is quiet, cool and countrified;
"a hermits CELL a bland retreat
Bare. but my books are in my head.
My music too; no need to eat
And drink and smoke now ! am dead.
IT think might be happy here,-
Have time at last, and use 1t all,
And get the first and last things clear.
Even the Vicar will not CALL"
So for a while I take my ease
And lie and twist my thoughts about,
Content no footstep breaks my ease.
That not friend can find me out.
But when the winds in autumn blow
And drive about the unending rain
I shall be restless till I go
And haunt the avenues again:
Peer stealthily in face or two.
Walk, and return unsatisfied.
And find nv thoughts are all askew.
And curse, and wish / had not died,
And smother In my winding sheet,
And wonder what Is wrong with this
Cool, quiet. countrifed retreat
And know at last that what miss
Is dearer than all these hold,
Worth buying with all those / dread
That It Is lonely here, and cold.
All much as though l were not dead.

Wholly Inexcusable.

The incident OF Sunday night at
Town Hall is best described as an
illegal raid by police mob
A mass meeting had gathered in
the hall to listen to a discussion.
The subject happened to be Birth
Control" But the meeting heard
no speeches, for the police seized the
speakers and prevented them from
uttering word.
BY what mental process, we ven-
ture to ask Mayor HYLAS's Mr.. En-
RIGHT, did the police arrive at the
conclusion that the law had been
violated? Or, il they merely sus-
pected that the law was going to be
violated, what was their justification
for raiding the meeting? The Con-
stitution Of the State of New York
is perfectly plain:
Every citizen may freely speak.
write ard publish his sentiments on
all subjects, being responsible for the
abuse of that right and no law
shall be passed to restrain or abridge
the liberty of speech or of the press"
Even Congress is forbidden by the
Federal Constitution from making a
law to abridge freedom of speech.
Are the police above the constitutions
of the nation and the State?
We wonder what Mr.. HAROLD Cox,
the distinguished editor Of the Edin'
, burgh ReUie1o, who was in the swirl
OF the riot made by the raiders and
was to speak, thought of police meth
DDS in the Land of the Free.
