The straight bank does not need any. The general public will anxiously await the news of Secretary Roofs safety. He is one of the big active thinking mei of the United States and holding the import ant position he does, we can ill afford to lose him. Refreshing Diinks To suit the Weather at t SGHEttRER'S Its always Summer Time with us Candies, Muts, Cigars and Tobacco During the lost fiscal year, ending June 30, ouJ trade with the Philippine islands fell off about $750,000 from that of the preceding year. The increased trade of the United States with Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico was so great that ship ments to our noncontiguous possessions were 20 more than in 1905. We ship io mem cnieny manur.ctured and pre pared, or partly prepared, food stuffs and buy from the islands chiefly sugar, and tobacco. The Lewis and Clark Exposition one of the very few world's fairs that paid expenses. Chicago and Buffalo, for instance, fell far short of paying. The The management at St. Louis contrived to break even. The exposition corporation at Portland patd back to the stockholders their investment in full and a dividend of 23 s '? . The cost of organizing and con structing the exposition was $900,000, the cost of operation $3660 a day or $500,000 in all. Receipts were $ 1 .600. 000. Portland profited greatly from the fair and there has been no reaction in real estate values such as cities have experienced following a world's air ooom. BOYS WHO RUN WILD The murder of James F. Sloane was C'.c of the moct hcrrible si''vr mm m.tted in Spokane. The fact that the deed was committed by the victim': son adds to the horror of the affair. The act was deliberate, cold-blooded, brutal in every detail; vet it is net im probable that another plea of emotional insanity will be made in his behalf. Every thing may be done to shield the youth who deliberately planned to murder his father for $500. Already his friends have advised him. Presumably they ha' given him hope, have given him to under stand that he has friends and they will help him. Do these friends fail to recogonize that something is due society, asks the Chron icle. Do they pess over the fact that a social leper is kept from society for so ciety's good, and not for the convenience of the out.ast? Sympathy is a great and noble trait, but it should not be misdirected it should not be confused with maudlin sentimentality. The deliberate perpetrat or of a revolting crime is not to be petted and turned loose to commit new horrors. This young man had companions. Other young men in Spokane associated with him. They were partners in some of his debasing pasttimes. There are smaller editions of Sydney Sloane in Spokane. They may lack the nerve, the cruelty, the utter degeneracy of the boy who now oc cupies a cell in the city jail, but they are on the downhill grade. If not stopped now there is no way to foretell the deptli of depravity to which they may descend. There are scores of boys running wild on the streets of Spokane. If their parents will not take care of them the hemp j courts may be compelled to do sj. They I are getting the training that leads to i crime. These boys should be taken in was and cared for. If the parents care no- The Hunting Season is now Open. Something new in I Automatic Shot Guns i Ammunition of all kinds V. H.
