We wonder why dentists are so dishonest. They will make the
most ridculous claims and assertions and expect the people to
believe them. For example, they are now squawking about
ebony plates. Now let us give you a little information on the
plate proposition. To commence with there is no such thing as
an ebony plate. The plate made of black rubber can he called
ebony plate or black plate or anything that one wants to call it,
but when you get down to facts, it's just a plain $4.50 per pound
rubber plate. The teeth (14) used in a plate cost, say 11.00, the
rubber, gas and plaster 50 cents. That makes the material cost

dentist one whole day to do the work. Of course, we do not *
employ Japs or cheap laboratory men to do our plate work, but

CHIEF—WASHINGTO N. LAUGHING OVER
TWO JOKES.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Because a certain eminent statesman
dropped his eyeglasses down the decollete gown of a young navy
matron, and because an admiral of national renown, through absent
mindedness, picked up B truant curl of gray hair, thinking it his
pocket handkerchief, Washington society is vastly amused today.
One of the Btories going the rounds over the teacups is that
, the statesman referred to was adjusting his pince nez to his
aquiline uose when they slipped from his fingers down milady's j
gown.
The statesman, in consternation, sought out the lady's husband
and explained the catastrophe. The husband, without thought and
before a number of prominent men and women—for the incident
occurred at the army and navy reception—plunged his hand down
his wife's back and fished out the glasses.
The lady shrieked, a small riot followed, and it is said that the
husband still is attempting to explain.
Tlie other incident also occurred at the same reception. A
white haired Washington grande dame, through accident or careless
ness, lost several puffs and curls from her elaborate coiffure in the
course of the evening's dancing. While the lady's friends were attempt
ing to adjust the putt's and curls, one of them fell to the floor. At
that instant a near sighted admiral, famous in the land, happened
along. Espying the fluffy object on the floor and thinking it his
pocket handkerchief, he stooped, caught it up in a white dressing
glove and to the horror of the ladies, placed it in his pocket and
stalked away.

the first step in a great national
movement looking to the union of
the progressive elements in alii
political parties.
What these men propose is that !
tlie progressive republicans of the
Third district indorse a clean dcni-|
ocrat of strong radical ideas ajld
that the democrats of the same
way of thinking indorse Judge 1

Moved that it would insure the

to keep up the fight started by
Poindexter and send Poindexter to

ether progressives in the fight they
are making.
Tonight the Kinghts and Ladies,
of Security will give a whist party
in the Waiters' Union hall, 722 First

CANADIANS CLAIM
DISTINCTION
Canadian workingmen claim the !
distinction of electing the first tfo
cialist to a national legislative body
on the North American continent,
in the person of Charles O'Brien, a
miner, who will represent Alberta
in the Canadian parliament. They
point with some pride to the fact
that O'Brien, in stumping his large '
district, traveled about much of the
time without an overcoat when the
thermometer registered as much as
30 degrees below zero. His enthu
siasm kept him warm. O'Brien's
means of transportation were u.suaj

and occasionally a friendly freight

GAVE 'EM A
BIG TIME
FORTY-FIVE SPOKANITEB RE
TURN—NEW DEPOT
DEDICATED.
The committee of 45 men from,
the Spokane chamber of commerce
who went to Wenatchee yesterday
returned this morning at 5:45. All
of those who went are enthusiastic
over the reception they received at
Wenatchee and the good time they
enjoyed while there.
The Spokanites were the "big
noise" at the celebration and their
gay "Enakops" uniforms made a
great hit with the Wenatchee peo
ple. The Elks' quartet, which was
on hand, proved a great attraction.
Speeches were delivered by Sec
retary L, G. Munroe. R. H. Hughes,
C. H. Moore and H. 1,. Moody, all of
which wore well received. VV. T.
Clark, a prominent Wenatchee man,
presided at the dedicatory services.
Tn his speech Mr. Hughes pointed
out what the apple show was doing
for this entire Inland Empire coun
try, lie pointed to the fact that
$3:!,000 had been given by the cham
ber of commerce last year, a fact
which had done much to develop
Wenatchee.
The Great Northern depot at
Wenatchee, which is said to be the
best in the state In point of archi
tecture, was also dedicated during
the time the locaf men wore there.

the evidence introduced by Prosecu
tor Pugh through the police of
ficial, Owing to a legal holiday
the case lias rested until Monday
morning.
Immediately following the open
ing of court Attorney T. J. Symmes
moved to quash tho information on
tlie grounds that the offense
charged does not constitute an of
fense under the statutes and that
the information does not conform
to tlie requirements of the law. Aft
er a sharp debate the court ruled
in favor of the prosecution.
When it developed that the ma
jority of the I. W. W.s were tried
on the charge of vagrancy, Symmos
argued that the evidence against
the prisoners was to no point, as
, the persons who were alleged to
have been influenced to speak on
■ the streets had been arrested on
aSnothr charge.
Judge Kennan bold that it made
no difference what charge the I.
W. W. speakers were arrested on
as long as the alleged object of the
defendants was to conspire to
break the laws.

PETTY LARCENY CASES
GIVING LOI OF TROUBLE
Petty larceny cases by the score
have been pestering the police
lately. Hardly ever does a day go
by but what several small burg
laries are reported. Most of these
cases are reported from lodging
houses where the thieves make
easy access to the rooms by the
use of passkeys.
Although the burglaries are in
nearly all cases reported . immedi
ately, and descriptions of the stolen
articles furnished, few, if any, ar
rests have followed this month.
The police have a full list of all
the pawnshops whore the stolen ar
ticles would be taken to -be sold,
but practically all of the victims
of petty burglars have received lit
tle satisfaction.
The use of "stool pigeons" is
freely admitted about the station.
Practically every plain clothes man
is known to have at least one of
these on his staff, and it is ad
mitted that many of the patrolmen
use "stool pigeons" in their work.
But despite tho aid that is furnish
ed by these crooks, who are pro
tected by the officers in return for
the information they furnish, bur
glaries are reported every day, and
about the only official action which
is taken by tho police is to make
note of the robbery in their "kick
book."
Two more burglary cases came to
light this morning. The room of
E. ,M. Graves in the (1. N. hotel was

The police hurried to the bridge,

them to the station, where they
gave their names and told their
story.
W. T. Parker, father of one of
the lads, hurried to the station as
soon as he was notified. Soon Wj

claim he had to the canine. The
second man explained that he knew
the dog was his, because his dog
was a female Scotch collie answer

and the other man left the station,
