ing policy is dead and buried beyond
future resurrection on American soil.
The most expressive language should
be used on the rostrum and in the
press to make the people rightly un-
derstand the changes that may hap
pen with so Protean a policy. Flip
pant and deceitful ridicule of it's real
ism must not engender indifference
nor change the line of battle from
the true danger to chase a decoy
bogyman. Of course, there will be
no attempt to overthrow the popular
government by coup d'etat, as
France has more than once expert
enced and he would be fool indeed,
who imagines any party in power in
this country would attempt the physi-
cal change to an empire or that any
president would aspire to or accept
the title of dictator and put on a real
crown; but there are ways and means
to further this end without changing
a letter of the constitution or substi-
tuting for democratic nomenclature a
single term or epithet indigenous to
Imperialism of the old world fashion.
Today the republican party stands
confessedly for those interpretations
of the constitution and those uses of
governmental powers that will as
surely imperialize the nation as Ger
many was unparalleled by the arts
and policy of the Iron Chancellor
The democrat proposes to stand
forth and challenge such unrepub-
lican constructions of the fundamen-

many be taxed forever and indiscrim-
inately for the enrichment of the few.
The patent indications of a policy of
real imperialism is the unbridled
power the president and military die
tators of this republic now arrogate
to themselves in the denial of con.
stitutional rights, coercing and de
priving the sovereign American citi
zen of those inalienable rights de
clared in the Declaration of Independ
ence and upon which the fathers eX
pected to construct model govern
ment, now so sadly in danger Of de
generating. Against the growth o.
this real imperialism and the develop
ment of grosser evils, the democratic
party stands ready to fight to the
ueath.

Or Boycott individuals or Corpora
tions AS They May Elect.
PRINCIPLE OF UNION LABOR
AS Upheld BY the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of New York
State and the Individual Right of
Men to Elect With Whom They
Shall Labor Side by Side.

At Albany, N. Y, recently, a de-
cision affecting the right of labor
unions to decline to work with non
union men and to order a strike was
decided in the affirmative by the state
supreme court, was given by Chief
Justice Parker, and concurred in by
two associates. The Judge holds
that the unions and union men have
those rights, and set forth his opinion
as follows:
''It is not the duty of one man to
work for another unless he has
agreed to, and if he has so agreed to,
but for no fixed period either may
end the contract whenever he
chooses. One may work or refuse to
work at will and the other may hire
and discharge at will. Workingmen
have the right to organize for the
purpose of securing higher wages,
shorter hours of labor or improving
their relations with their employers.
They have the fright to strike, pro-
vided tie object is not to crafty NAL
ice or infiict injury upon others, but
to secure better terms or employment
for themselves.
A body of men who, having organ
lied for the purpose deemed benefi-
cial to themselves, have the right.
when they feel it isdetrimental to the
interest of their organization, to re-
IN
seem inadequate to others, but if it
seems to be to their interests as
members of an organization to refuse
to work longer, it is their legal right
to do so.
eff the conduct of the members of
the organization is legal itself, it does
not become. illegal because the organ
ization directs one of its members
to state the reason for it's conduct.
Whenever the courts can see that
the refusal of members of an organi-
cation to work with non-members
may be in the interests of the several
members, it will not assume in the
absence of finding to the contrary
that the object of such refusal was
solely to crafty malice and to inf1ict
injury upon such non-members. One
of the objects sometimes urged
against labor organizations is that
unskilled workmen receive as large
compensation as those thoroughly
competent. The examination as to
qualifications required by the defend
ants association tends to do away
with the force of that objection as to
them. If the defendants had the
right to strike for any reason they
deemed a just one and had the right
to notify their employer of their pur-
pose to strike, am unable to see
how it is possible to deny the right
of the defendant or ganization and
their members to refuse to work with
non-union members, when in the
event of injury by the carelessness
of such co-employes the burden would
have to be borne b. the injured, with
out compensation from the employer
and with no financial responsibility
on the part of those causing the in
jury.

The ARCTIC
BERRY FRAUD
Annual Report of Botanist j. w.
BIankinship of Montana.
Crossed Number of Berries and
Had Grown a New PIant-Other
Matters of Interest in the Report.

In the annual report of the botanist
of the Montana experiment station at
Bozeman, which has just been issued,
Prof. j. w. Blankinship gives a his
tory of the "Arctic Berry fraud,
which was worked in various parts
of the state last fall, and explains
the nature of the fruit which was
shown to the credulous farmers by
the smooth CRATER. The report says:
For number of years a man with
a camping outfit has been canvassing
various parts of the state selling So
called arctic berry, taking orders
throughout a particular section dur
ing the spring and summer, and de-
livering the plants in the fall. He ex-
hibits a number of the berries pre-
served in liquid in a bottle, and
they are said to have a very attrac-
tive appearance, being three times
the size of a strawberry and with the
color of an orange
"He claims the fruit is one of his
own production, resulting from
crosses between a number of berries
of which the huckleberry, sarvice
berry, strawberry, wild cherry and
several unnamed specifies play a part,
the whole combining to form the won
derful fruit then exhibited. He claims
the fruit was first grown by himself
in Idaho, and is now cultivated sue
cessfully in the Gallatin valley, near
Bozeman. From reports, it seems
this plausible gentleman has worked
great part of the state, including
the region around Great Falls, the
Gallatin valley and the Madison river
and spent the summer of 1901 in
Sweet Grass and Carbon counties.
"The matter was called to the at
tention of the station in time to adj
vertise the fraud in the newspapers
and relatively few were disposed of.
1t was then stated that any man
knowingly making such statements
as those attributed to him in regard
to the origin of the fruit in question,
was fraud and subject to prosecu-
ton under the laws of the state, and
he was asked to submit some of the
fruit and plants to this station that
we might pass upon the value of this
| remarkable hybrid. Notice was also
given in all the Bozeman papers for
| information in regard to this new
plant from any one cultivating it in
| this vicinity, but no responses have
been received either from the agent
! or from any successful grower, for
| all the plants sold in this vicinity
are either dead or killed down each
year by frost and we have as yet
been unable to secure living speci-
mems for examination.
"Horticulturists who have seen the
! 'artic berry report the plant sold is
the white mulberry, and some leaf
scraps examined seem to agree with
that species. The thing is palpa-
BILE fake, for such crosses as those
mentioned are botanically impossi-
BILE. Space is here given the subject
in order to protect the people of the
state from such imposition hereafter,
and to warn our neighbors of adjoin-
ing states to look out for this smooth
| tongued 'nurseryman.'

THE BUSINESS MEMS ASSO.
CATION.

Printed in another column will be
found the bylaws and resolutions
adopted by the association recently
organized by the business men of
Kalispell. The membership of the
new organization includes a majority
of the business men in Flathead
county-the men from whom the Bee
derives the greater portion of it's rev.
enue-and upon whose prosperity de-
ponds the prosperity of the Bee just
as ,nc prosperity of the business
men depends upon the prosperity of
the laboring men.
The whole community is bound to-
gether by ties of common interest
and all must prosper or suffer to-
gether.
The best move ever made by the
business men of Kalispell was the
formation of this association, for
only by united action can the best re-
suits be obtained but the same rea-
sons which justify the creation of
the association also justify the exist
ence of the labor union, for surely
the laboring men have the same right
to associate themselves together as
the business men. 1t is true that in
some other cities the labor unions
have at times been radical in their
dealings with others, but such in
stances are much more rare than
one might suppose; and, on the
other hand, the unions often come to
the relief of the employers when such
relief is badly needed, an instance
of which was witnessed in Butte last
week when the engineers union fur
nished the mines with men to take
the place of the striking engineers,
who had walked out without suffi-
cient cause.
Organization among laboring men
has become so firmly established
and it's benefits are so universally
recognized that it is futile for any
person or association to try to stamp
out unionism. Would it not be more
fair and just for the business mems
association to direct their efforts
against abuses or excuses which the
union might indulge in?
Is it fair for the business men tc
assume that the union has been or
ganized ''for the purpose of raising
wages to a standard unwarranted by
the conditions of our markets and the
inevitable law of supply and de
mand?" What action has the Kalis
pell union taken to justify such 6
conclusion?
AS before stated. the Bee believes
that all classes in Kalispell are
bound together by ties of common in
terest, which cannot be severed, anG
it is better for employer and employe
to meet upon a common ground oil
fairness and justice, each recognizing
the rights of the other. Unlike the
unions in some other cities, the Kali
ispell union is composed largely Of

BELIEVE THEY HAVE WON.>.
Local Painters Say They Have Good
News From Pittsbure.

Thomas BarnyclOe, who, in the absence
of Thomas Sheehan, is in charge of the az
fairs Of the assembly of painters of this
city, received word from the latter. who is
in Pittsburg, that more painters We're to
be sent from Washington to take the place
of the strikers in Pittsburg. This advice is
construed as meaning that the result of Mr..
Sheehan's visit to the scene of trouble has
been successful. Mr.. Barnycloe stated that
Mr.. Sheehan had gone to Pittsburg to pre-
sent an ultimatum to the brotherhood peo-
pie there to the effect that unless the branch
of their organization was withdrawn from
Washington his assembly would continue to
send painters to Pittsburg to fill the places
of striking brotherhood men. AS Mr.. Shee-
han sent word that no more men were to be
brought to the scene of the strike, the of
ficials of the local assembly conclude that
Mr. Sheehan has gained his point and that
the local branch of the brotherhood will be
withdrawn and the situation left in the
hands of the local men.
Mr.. Sheehan is expected to return to this
city either late tonight or early tomorrow
morning.
The officials of the Brotherhood of Paint
ers had no information to give out con
cerning the situation of the differences ex-
listing between their organization and that
of the local assembly men. They still hold
to their views of shortly winning out, and
say that important news is expected some
time this afternoon from Pittsburg. which
will have considerable bearing on the situa-
ton in this city.

Of the northwest coast. hens eggs during

for the reason that the chickens fed SO free

streams that eggs and flesh alike became
tainted. 1t Is also notorious fact that on
portions of the coast and on certain streams
In the northwest hogs cannot be killed dur

too fishy to be eaten. The flesh OF bears at
certain points on the same coast is report

FOODS AND FLAVORS.
The Influence Of Food on the Flesh Of
Animals.

From Forest and Stream
Many of the readers Of Forest and Stream
are old enough to recall the heated argu-
ments which appeared in the sportsman
literature years ago, between those per-
sons who declared that the canvasback IN
his excellence was found nowhere except IN
Chesapeake bay, and their opponents who
said that canvasbacks were found all over
the country and were equally good every
where. The first party based their conten-
tion on the premise that the wild celery was
found only in the Chesapeake bay, and de-
cIared that except when fattened on a diet
of wild celery the canvasback was no bet
ter than coot. OF course We know today
that both these parties We're wrong and
both were right, and the quarrel between
them has long been one of those dead issues
which has been laid away with thousand
others to sleep the sleep that knows. no
waking. 1t has always been known that
the food on which an animal subsists has
a great deal to do with the flavor of its
flesh. If the coot and the old squaW are
poor eating. it is because they subslst al
most altogether on diet of clans and
other shell fish. The grain-fed whistler is
as good to eat as his fish-fed brother Of the
. SeacOaSt Is worthless.
But while there are great many fami-
far facts bearing on this subject which are
known to every one, there are also some
others that are unknown. and that are curl.
Gus and interesting.
Nothing is more common to country dwell
ers than to find In the early spring the

to appear in the spring, is greedily de-
voured by the cows newly turned out to

IL yielding this milk were to be
butchered and her flesh cooked. 1t would be
found both to taste and smell of garlic.
1t may not be SO generally known that
In early spring the W Id sheep of the Rocky
Mountains. like domestic cattle. nibble with
relish the new springing wild onions. and
II killed at this season the flesh tastes
strongly OF the plant. Who knows whether
the flesh of the deer and elk may not be

are killed In the spring
The Indians Of portions Of California de-
clare that in early spring the quail eat the
leaves of the wild onion, and that their
flesh becomes worthless for food at this
season because OF the strong odor Of onions
which pervades It,
1t is a well-known fact that the flesh OF
the spruce grouse and Of Franklin's grouse

snow covered and their food is largely the
buds and leaves OF spruce and pine, ac-
Quires strongly resinous taste which is at
first unpleasant, though one readily be-
comes used to It.. More familiar still Is the
fact that the ruffed grouse which has fed
on the buds and leaves of the laurel often
acquires a strongly bitter taste. On, the
ether hand, It may well be that in this last
-case the taste Of the flesh may come mere
~ from absorption BY the muscles OF the
