Hated, “swatted,” cursed, driven from “pillar to post,” as it is, the pesky fly has at last found a defender. He is W. R. Smith, general solicitor of the Santa Fe railway sys tem. Judge Smith is of the optnion that the common garden variety of house fly is a much maligned creature, and ought not to be swatted Here are his words on this momentous subject “He (the fly) Ie the best scavenger there is, and ten yeare from now people will be running incubators to hatch files to keep G things clean ind the state will be appropriating money for it.” > Some prophecy, that, eh? th sy But in spite of the learned gentleman's ideas on the matter, health © officials in every big city are planning a more elaborate “swatting” campaign this summer than ever before. Seattle authorities say the ‘ little brutes are worse than snakes—b use there are so many more nj of ‘om, i u q So fur the summer in Seattle has been cool. There aren't more he —s than a few billion of Mies in town. There's a good chance to kill ‘em off and increase your health and comfort. Now is the time to ase fly paper and fly spankers, and hunt the game to their lairs, yy Judge Smith says that in ten years we will be running Incubators Ss te hatch the critters, Well, there are still plenty of garbage cans and other natural incubators which are turning out such a full line of goods that his prediction seems more or less a wild dream, Help destroy +4 @irty breeding places for flies, and we may yet have a chance at those _ Incubators. r ir American squadron attending the coronation ceremonies off coast ef England.

A. of Phoontx, Arizona, fgainst a man who refused to pay his $100 subscription on the ground that he learned after making it that the Y. M. C. A. gprmitted pool and | billiard playing, which he called encouragement of gembling. : Both are games of skill, not chance, of course, but It seems ques: tionable taste for the Y. M. C. A. to attempt to enforce a contract in its favor if the subscriber has conscientious scruples of any sort against these amusements. At any rate, the incident emphasizes the tendency on the part ‘of most persons to give to any Institution which is seemingly for good, ‘without thoroughly satisfying themselves as to its plans, purposes and Management. It is bad for the individual to give thoughtlessly, and bad for any institution to prosper to such an extent that it may entirely Tose its origing! character and become dictatorial. This is no criticism of the Y. M. ©. A. in general, but of the par | tteular branch which goes to law to collect what is’ not a debt, but a > gift, and which the giver claims was obtained through a misappreben ston. {t is not well for a Christian association to attempt un-Christian tigation. It is predicted that the number of divorces in Seattle in July and August will show a marked falling off as compared with the two pre- @eding months. The divorce courts will then be on a two months’ va cation. A Picture Worth Framing | ___ Here's another supreme court voice crying In the wilderness, and @on't let it get by yo Judge Henry C.

There sat Mr. Rockefeller, the richest ‘Man in the world, and yet—tlke all of the wealthy men of right pur pose—only the trustee for the people in the distribution of wealth.” What a heavenly picture! A billion dollar trustee for distribution other people's money sitting calmly there, in the very bosom of the “rugged but honest farmers, compiacently gnawing “stewed backbones ' and candied yams,” while the busy, busy world wagged on! Too bad that Captain Kidd, Hon, Dick Turpin, Divine Right Baer and some of © the other trustees couldn't be in the picture.
