the NEED OF CONSISTENCY.

Every lodge of workingmen in tins
country whose members are Interested
In notifies for the practical benefits re-
sulting from wise economic policies. and
not for few petty offices. Is discussing
the recommendations of the president
message as to subjects in which labor Is
interested. For years the working classes
have rghtfully demanded legislation at
fectins Oriental immigration arid land
irrigation, trust regulation, an eight
hour day on government works. Western
trade expansion, child labor. protection
and reciprocity and cabinet representa-
tion of labor.
Many of those reforms We're granted
by the republican party. the rest are
now recommended by republican pres
ident to republican congress.
Every intelligent man familiar With
the political machinery of the country
knows that the reforms needed to pro-
mote the interests of labor at present
can be secured only by indorsins and
encouraging the party which alone has
both the power and disposition to grant
them. Every man knows that the demo-
cratic party never did and cannot now
accomplish any of the reforms needed.
1t is equally certain that other opposi-
ton parties or fusions are powerless in
the matter, and that every movement
against the republican party is simply
reputation of the very reforms the re-
publican party alone can guarantee. De-
nunciation of the suggestions of the
president would simply mean that the
people in whose interest they We're offered
are opposed to their enactment into law.
Otherwise, the country will soon ring
with the acclamations of labor as its
Representatives meet to discuss the re-
forms advocated by the president.
Upon every workingrnan who sincerely
favors the legislation recommended by
the nations chief executive, consistency
imposes the obligation of joining the re-
publican party and holding up it's hands
while it proceeds to carry out the good
work. Whatever benefits the country
now enjoys have resulted from republic
can legislation: those benefits which the
country still demands may be obtained
only from the party in power, which is
honestly pledged to bring them about.

The experiments made during the past
several months in the treatment of ar
gentiferous zinc ores of the Alice mine
have reached a stage which gives almost
a certainty of success. The appliances
have been crude and there has been EN-
barrassment from lack Of confidence on
the part of some of the interested parties.
yet it has been demonstrated on small
scale at least that the metallic values Of
the Alice ores can be extracted by a GER
tain solution. 1t only remains now, per-
haps, to construct a suitable plant for
enlarged operations. The oXidized and
base ores of the Alice now in sight
amount to 100000 tons, worth, approx-
mately, S40,000,0O0. Some day every ton
OF those vast reserves will be turned into
mOney.

AS the Boston fabrication about the NJ
O. p. smelter fire, rejecting on the men,

Tilt OiO DOCTRINE.

Recent re-affirmation of the Monroe
doctrine has aroused discussion concern
ing the views held by the fifth president
OF the United States. Feeling against ELL
ropean powers was more bitter IN Mon-
roeS day than at present. The periect
security which is now felt by the United
States was not then known. AS meas
ure of self-protection the doctrine enuh-
ciated by President Monroe in 1873 was
applauded. The doctrine has continued
in force unimpaired. since that time.
During recent years the chief concern
has been to protect smaller nations upon
the southern portion of the western
Hemisphere The United States is amply
able to take care of its own interests
and has no fear upon any score OF in
iluences from abroad. AS President
Roosevelt said in his recent message. the
Monroe doctrine lis i'll no wise intended
as hostile to any nation in the old
world. Still less is it intended to give
cover to any aggression by one new
world power at the expense of any other.
1t is simply step, and a Ions step.
toward assuring the universal peace or
the world by securing the possibility OF
permanent peace on this hemisphere.
During the last century other influences
have established the permanence and in
dependence of the smaller states OF
Europe. Through the Monroe doctrine,
we hope to be able to safeguard like in.
dependence and secure like permanence
for the lesser among the new world ma
TONS
The original views upon this question
took account of the bad influence the
political systems of other nations would
exert in our own should their establish
ments be set up at our doors. It was
with the intention of forever preventing
foreign flags from being raised as neigh
bors to the United States that President
Monroe's message of December 2. 1928.
contained an expression of this doctrine.
The American continents are hence
forth not to Zoe considered as subjects
for future colonial ton by any Euro
pean powers was President Monroes
dictum. 1T is impossible that the allied
powers should extend their political sys-
tenn to any portion Of either continent
without endangering our peace and hap
piness, nor can anyone believe that our
southern brethren, if left to themselves,
would adopt it of their own accord. It
is equally impossible, therefore, that we
should behold such interposition in any
form without interference"

and Judge McClernan reviewed the
legal steps taken against him and at
the conclusion of that proceeding asked
him what legal objection he could offer
to sentence being passed upon him. At
that Howard said:
I'm not guilty. I've been kangarOoed."
What do you mean by that?" the
court asked.
We'll. the jury kangarooed me-" he
said. The Jury was no good"
The court then explained that the time
for raising objections to the jury had
passed, and proceeded to sentence How
ard to year in state prison.
Towards attack on the Jury amused
the spectators, as it was evident that
he was very sore at his conviction.

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

Harry Longbaugh has been captured
again. It has been shown to the salts
faction of the authorities Of Missouri
that Ben Fitzpatrick, who last week went
to prison for the crime of forgery, is not
Longbaugh at all, but a bad imitation
of the original Nothing daunted by this
official miscue, peace officers have again
jumped upon Mr. Longbaugh, this time
at Knoxville, Tenn. Just what this
latter capture will amount to is hard to
determine. The prisoner may be Harry
Longbaugh or Kid Curry; he may be
one of the desperate men Who held up
the Great Northern train at Wagner
Mont, or only an imposter whose affec-
tation of laWlessness fooled the Ten
nessee sheriffs into believing they had
the real thing. The prisoner has been
positively Identified as Harry Logan, and
is said to bear a striking resemblance
to Bob Jones. He appears in some re-
spects like Tom Jones and inclines to dis
appear much after the manner of Pat
Grove. Taken altogether, the pursuit
and capture of train robbers in the
h'uHiS .oOulll IL uOt Tue SHINING success
it is cracked up to be. 1t is shreWdly
suspected that a variety of newspaper
correspondents in the South, who are
kept constantly on the jump by these
exciting incidents, are inclined to jump
at conclusions with respect to the iden-
tity of the captives. Following close
upon the capture of the robber sentenced
recently at ST. Louis, Mo-, newspa pers
announced that the death penalty was
meted out to train robbers in Montana,
and the man guilty of the Wagner hold
up played in big luck in not being sent
back to this state for trial. The subse-
quent Identification of the captured rob-
Der as Harry Longbaugh proves that the
Missouri authorities know fully as much
about the identity of the men they arrest
as they do of Montana's criminal code.
The capture effected yesterday at KNOX,
Vile, Tenn, is the second chapter in the
history of Montana robbers in Dixie. If
the last batch of criminals captured is
given such an expeditions send-off to the
state prison as was given the first in
voice of robbers, Tennessee officials will
be entitled to congratulations In the
meantime Southern sheriffs should look
out for bad money and keep their DOW
der dry. There are other train robbers
and stolen bank bills yet at large,

morning at the Owsley block by Captain
Evarts and a policeman. and lodged at
the city Jail. charged with stealing case
Of empty beer bottles. ~
Early this morning they were removed

Downey and John sullivan Of WALKER.
VILE, and Sylvester Mead Of 1871 Copper
street.
They were arrested on the complaint
Of the engineer at the Owsley block. who
has been annoyed by the boys for some
time. He deemed 1t wise for the safety
of the youngsters and for the benefit Of
their parents that they should be taken
into custody and punished.
According to the police. the boys hava
for nights past made it a practice to
sleep on top Of the big boiler of the heat
ing plant at the Owsley block.
They got across to the boiler by climb
ing through q coal chute opening into
the alley in the rear Of the building
They would stealthily crawl on top Of the
boiler when a favorable opportunity pre-
scented and there safely ensconce them
selves for the night.
Warned by Engineer.
When the youths were first discovered.
several nights ago. the engineer warned
them of their danger and told them
that should the boiler explode all would
meet certain deaths.
The boys were not to be intimidated,
however. and returned. only to be- or
dered out again. Even that had no effect
and Saturday night they again returned.
The engineer then decided that, ne
could do nothing with the boys and
called upon the police to take them in
charge. The result was the arrest Of
the sextet.
1t was then discovered that the boys
had come into the possession of a case
Of empty beer bottles. which they said
they were going to dispose of this morn
ing.
They We're charged with stealing the
case and bottles, 80 that they could be
held until their parents We're notified.
When the parents of the boys did not
appear in answer to summons the
youngsters We're sent to the county JAIL
Show No Concern.
While in the city Jail the boys showed
no concern because Of their confinement.
They played tag and other games. threw
food at each other. danced and had
good time generally.
All of them crowded into the Jail BATH
tub at one time yesterday evening and
stood about as much Of the cold water
as a bird would.
One of the boys had a mouth organ.
and he enlivened the afternoon with
tones more discordant than anything
else. but which eminently satisfied his
colleagues.
Whenever they tired of their fun the
boys called for something to eat. Sol
Levy said he had never seen such a hum
CRY bunch of youngsters.
