ROLL CALL OF THE SQUARE DEAL
All over the United States today—right hero in Spokane as much
as elsewhere —the needs of the hour are calling for men, straight,
Clean-cut men, rightfully entitled by virtue of their manhood to all
that term implies.
The day of the ninny has long since passed; he may hope for ex
istence as a relegated quantity only. The crooked and miserly in
mind and heart have never, and can never, establish standing among
live, open hearted men until the latter cease of their own accord to
be what the Creator designed them.
After all the test of manhood is not too severe. It can be culti-
Tated in barren soil providing the same be fertilized with sufficient
good intention and determination. Debts are easier paid than dodged,
but it is easier and wiser to dodge acquaintance with debts you can
see no means of meeting, excepting always the heavy strokes of mis
fortune in the shape of illness or other form of adversity to which
fate occasionally elects a victim. Sobriety and clean thinking are
too closely wedded to honesty to require separate mention.
And if it is possible for the average citizen to be decently square
in business and social relations there is no reason why he should not
maintain identically the same standard in political affairs. The im
portance of doing so balances with every other respectable require
ment life imposes.
In the matter of public servic?, however, the greatest relaxation
in personal, and what might also be termed party rectitude. Is encoun
tered. That is where the shoe pinches. The genuine all wool article
is scarce, generally speaking, in political measurement.
But the situation at its worst does not imply a necessity for brass
band reform. In fact it demandsexactly the opposite. Conditions the
country over call for less noise and more thought and decision. The
shout emitted from the ballot box, providing it rings true, is the
potent factor most needed. The necessity of keeping rascals out is
,the essential sequel to turning them out.
/ Here, there and everywhere, from President Roosevelt down to
the crossroads shoemaker, the real manhood of the nation is falling
into line. The movement pulls Impartially, claiming capitalists,
laboring men, professional men, measuring all up to the correct stand
ard of American citizenship and rejecting every element of class
hatred or enmity.
It is simply the gospel of the square deal.
To put it Into operation calls for nothing in the new party line
nor tampering with the organic principles of our government. The
machinery is as good as ever; operatives alone are incompetent and
defective. Quiet, but determined business-like methods coupled with
patriotic devotion to what is right means the final disappation of
Utopian vagaries now floating about in the national atmosphere along
with the actual evils of the times. There is room for but one ism in
this United States, and that is Americanism—the brand our grand-
Eires kept on tap.

A special meeting of the school
board of district 81 has been called
for next Monday night when the
names of teachers selected and
recommended by Superintendent
Tormey to fil! vacancies incurred
since last June, will be presented to
the board for confirmation.
The schools will open on Septem
ber 3 at the usual hour, but will
be in session only an hour, the
time required by law If Spokane
would have the benefit of that
day's attendance from the state
school funds. School will be dis
missed in ample time for the chil
dren to participate in Labor day
ceremonies, i
Every pupil who attends school
for this one hour on Labor day
will, by *he mere fact of such at
tendance, bring about 10 cents
from the state funds to this dis
trict. If there are 14,000 pupils in
attendance that day the city will
realize for the hour a fat premium.
TO ATTEND CONFERENCE.
Leaders of the Young Women's
Christian association in Spokane
are preparing to leave Monday for
Gearhart Park, Ore., to attend the
conference on August 31. TKTs is
the second annual conference. Rail
roads have granted a special rate
of one and one third fares.
CHAPTER 11.
I cannot say that I was favorab
ly impressed with Mr. Skidds. I
recall that my first thought was
that he was a pompous sort of a
gentleman, a diamond ring and a
blue scarf pin.
"I suppose you know your busi
ness as a gardener, Tillman, or the
master would not have employed
you," he said, "but, of course, you
know nothing of the rules of edi
quet, enforced on a farm like ours.
First of all you must remember to
speak to Mr. Allrox as the master
when referring to him In conversa
tion with others. Addressing him
you may say. 'Mr. Allrox.' You will
also address me and refer to me
as 'Mr. Skidds.' I am 'Mr.' to ev
erybody on the farm and I will tol
erate no familiarity from even the
master. You are plain Tillman. Al
low no one, under any circumstan
ces, to call you 'Hl' or 'Till.' The
coachman is James, not O'Brien,
nor Mr. O'Brien, nor Jim, but just
James, plain James, always. The
farmer, the employe who looks af
ter the products of the field, is
Johnson —Johnson and nothing else
The housekeeper is Mrs. Busk, the
cook is Mulligan, not Bridget, nor
Miss Mulligan nor Mrs. Mulligan,
but plain Mulligan. The waitress
ls Emma, and the maid in the front
of the house, is Antoinette. Her
real name is Maggie but the mis
tress prefers Antoinette and An
toinette goes "
"How shall I speak of Mrs. All
rox?" I asked.
"You must not speak of her at
all, nor speak to her. She is not
at all likely to speak to you, nor
if you work here a lifetime, but
should she at any time do so, simp
ly raise your hat. If she asks you
a question, answer it, of course, but
it is hardly possible she will. Her
social duties keep her so busy she
probably Will never see you. If by
any possibility she gives you an
order, raise your hat and tell her
you take orders from Mr. Skidds
and from nobody else except the
master. And don't forget that. No
body has any right to tell you to do
anything, nobody except me. By
right, tlie master shouldn't but he
is a peculiar old party—a nice old
pop, though-—and he butts in now
and then. When he does, you may
obey him. The master has two
daughters, by the way. You must
raise your hat when you meet
them, but never presume to speak
to them or of them."
'•This fin't no place fer me, Mr.
Skidds," I said. "I kin be us polite
uz th' next feller but I don't call no
man master. I'm Jest us good us
he i3 —"
"Sh! Of course you are Just as
good, but you haven't as much mon
ey, and if you did have you would
not separate yourself from It as
he does. You are to receive $75 a
month. Forty dollars of that are
for speaking to him as master and
calling me 'Mr' Now come to the

I followed him to the bathroom
where he gave me a brush and nail
file, and after showing me how to
use them he said, "The master pro
vides these things for the employes
and if you remain 30 days they be
come your property. You may take
them with you when you quit."
"It seems t' me that Mr. All
rox —"
"The master!" Interrupted Mr.
Skidds.

I went to the employee' dining

"A rube for fair," replied Mr.
Skidds.
"I don't care about that," she
said. "What I want to know is, can
lie raise voce tables? Can he do
something to help us escape from
the clutches of those cursed city
grocers who send us nothing but
stale vegetables, and charge us
double prices."
"I don't know anything about
that." said Mr. Skidds. "The mas
ter generally picks a dead one but
I think this fellow is all right. He's
sever worked on one of these play
grounds before and hasn't been
spoiled. Hut I suppose he'll be as
bad as the rest by next spring."
"I hope the master doesn't spoil
him by springing any of his theorie j
of farming," said the housekeeper.
"If he does we might just as ! well j
make up our minds that he'll'be a
failure." '
"I'll tell you one thing," said Mr.
Skidds. "If the old man butts into
this rube's business I'll bat' him
one on the jaw he'll never forget.
I won't stand for it." '■ 1 I

NEW RULES EOR
BOARDERS IT
CITY JUL
Jailer "Bill' Smith is wearing a
worried expression of late. Bill is
in trouble and that's only too plain-
The rest of the policemen look up
on him in sympathy and occasional
ly ask him if his corns hurt, but
he gets rid of them by remarking
that "he's troubles of his own —go
tell yourn t' th' cops."
The fact of the matter is Bill's
guests—hotel guests—are sore and
kicking over the traces, figuratively
speaking They don't like the way
, the Jail Is run and are all the time
! giving Bill advice about the proper
1 management of an hotel such as
; his. That's what hurts every time
: —deserving criticism —and it hurts
| Bill. Consequently he has laid
down a set of rules for his boarders
and the first one up for disobedi
ence will get 100 years.
Here are the rules:
Guests are expected to leave
their valuables with the desk ser
geant.
Do not leave during the night
without permission. You can't, any
way; so don't try it.
There is no extra charge for
berths. Don't fight for the lower
ones or you'll be ejected from the
hotel —into the tank.
The management deplores the
use of violence and stands against
the previous rule to throw the
other fellow out if he won't let
you in—to the lower berth.
Cursing the management to its
face won't be tolerated. If you
don't like the treatment accorded
you. call a meeting of the grand
jury—and they won't do anything.
Please report any incivility on
the part of employes.
Bills must be paid on departure.
The house escorts its guests to the
desk.
If you like the way this house
is run tell your friends. If you
don't, tell it to the gang so they'll
stay away.
Guests without baggage can't get
any tobacco unless someone goes
good for them.
We do not solicit the patronage
of guests with the "jimmies."
