DIRECT LEGISLATION.
The Initiative and Referendum, the
Labor Party Platform.

The Initiative and Referendum, the
Labor Party Platform.
For the past ten or twelve years
in this state, this important measure
has been discussed by ever, branch
of organized labor, and unanimously
indorsed, and as a safeguard it is
used by AL organized labor in all mat
ters involving their interests, when
ever issues of Importance are at
stake. Recognizing it's merits, they
have tried to get it incorporated in
the platform of both old political par
ties; to the end that it might be more
generally applied in public affairs, as
a check against corrupt and vicious
methods, that are used to get control
of the affairs of the whole people. We
say that there is not a single busi-
ness man, and we care not how hide
party bound he is that does not stand
appalled, at the methods used today.
1t can have but one awful signifi-
canoe, that of lowering the standard
of American citizenship. This cher

handed down to us by our forefath-
ers, for they shed their blood in de-
Tense of it, and we as citizens are
called upon today, just as they were,
when the first continental congress
was called in support of liberty, JUS
tice and equality. Now lest we be
misconstrued on the word liberty, we
want to say plainly that we want the
right to 90 to the ballot box unre-
strained by the great aggregated
wealth, that our labor has created,
that is so shamefully and corruptly
used to get political control, not to
recognize our just demand, but to
meet your own selfish end. We want
the right to call up any bill that may
/ be injurious to our welfare, at any
time. We want the right to submit
bill at any time, we think our inter-
est would warrant it. We say fur
ther that we refuse to delegate our
power away, for we have learned by
sad experience that once delegated
away 1t is generally lost. With tue
mighty arm of labor behind this
movement we believe that victory Is
ours. The initiative and referendum
is honesty and fairness to all.-Labor

northern part of Clark county, eleven
miles wide, for distance Of forty
miles.
Portland, Sept 16-Many lives have
been lost and it is roughly estimated
that over half million dollars worth
of property has been destroyed dur
ing the past week by forest fires in
Oregon and Washington, not includ-
ing the loss of timber. Many people
are missing, but it will not be known
how many are dead until reports
from remote districts come in. The
districts where the greatest destruc
tion occurred were Lentz, Spring
Water and Bridal Veil, in Oregon
and in Fifth Plain, Lewis river and

burned out. A light rain fell today

Wife of Senator Stewart Victim of
an Accident.
San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 12.-Mrs.
VIM. Stewart, wife of the United
States senator from Nevada, was
killed today in an automobile acci-
dent. Mrs. Stewart was enjoying a
ride with Henry Foote, son of w. w.
Foote, the attorney, and Fl. B. Tay-
lor They were going along Santa
Clara avenue, in Alameda county,
Taylor guiding the machine and send
ing it along at high speed. A vehicle
approached and Taylor swerved the
automobile in order to avoid a col
lision. At that moment he either
lost control of the steering apparatus
or made miscalculation. The auto
mobile ran into a telegraph pole and
the occupants were thrown out. Mrs.
Stewart struck on her head and was
carried in an unconscious condition
to a sanitarium in the vicinity, where
she soon died Foote and Taylor es-
capped with minor bruises. Taylor is
cousin of Frederick Benedict, who
was recently crushed to death under
his automobile in New York.
| Mrs. Stewart resided at Washing
ton, d. c. She was visiting her sis
ter Mrs. Louis Aldrich, who lives in
San Francisco.

Must Be Full Measure.

Amy so-called labor party movement
that will either fuse or fails to de-
clare for the principles of the social
ist party of America is not and can
not be a labor party organization
within the sense and meaning of the
declared objects and purposes of
what makes up the declaration of
principles of the labor organizations
of the Rocky mountain states. Any
party that fails to bear in mind these
two essential features of the de-
mands of organized labor has neither
justification or right to masquerade
under the name Labor Party.
1t must be class conscious, inde-
pendent political movement. The
party that avoids this object can be
nothing else but side show for ex-
terror purposes that have no place
within the lines of the movement
that was formulated at Denver and
emphasized at Livingston.
No half measures will suit these
declarations. The full measure is
resplendent with the purpose of what
the wage Garner demands. It has
liberty, equality and fraternity for it's
principles. Any labor movement that
falls short of its measure will not be
led astray many from the cardinal
point of view.
Such a ticket and platform is
broad enough for any class of citizen
to support, for it means nothing but
the highest and best good of all the
people of the state. 1t is like the
eagle soaring the air, spreading its
wings in all directions and enfolding
beneath it the common interest of all
the people, Anything short of this
exacts no obligations ns.-Labor World.

Who Has a Story Regarding His
Presence at the Boundary.
RAN CHOP HOUSE IN ANACONDA
But Boycott Forced Him to Seek An
other Location and He Crossed
Line at Gateway Before Concluding
to Return to kaIispell.

Customs Inspector Dave Hoover ar
rested Chinaman by the euphonious
name of War Bang Quong near Gate
way last Thursday and lodged his
man in the county Jail in this city.
The celestial was arrested after night
and it was thought that he had been
either smuggled across the line or
was himself engaged in smuggling
opium. War Bang was arraigned be
fore United States Commissioner Nc
Keown Saturday and produced a GER
tificate showing that he was lawfully
in this country, but as there is some
doubt as to his innocence of the
opium smuggling charge, he was
placed under $500 bonds and his hear
ing was set for Tuesday September
%. Gus Heller and another China
man went his security and he is now
at liberty,
There is some question as to
whether a Chinaman who is the pos
SCISSOR of a certificate can go to an
other country and again re-enter the
United States without first securing
the necessary permission, and it was
to settle this question that led the
commissioner to bind the prisoner
over. War Bang claims that he for
merly ran restaurant in Anaconda
and, owing to the fact that boycott
had been established against Chinese
restaurants, he was forced to seek q
new location. He had been to Jen
nings and Gateway and was return
ing to Kalispell from the latter place
when he was arrested. While al
Jennings he was carrying a bundle
but when arrested this was missing
and when asked as to its disappear
ance he stated that he had been as
saulted and robbed. This story is
not believed, however, and it is
thougnC that he has cached it some

Wild West Show Went to Pieces in
the State of Iowa.
The Buffalo and Wild West show
which appeared in Helena early in
July broke up at Marshaltown, Iowa,
Charles AHard, who was one of the
performers, returned TO Missoula. He
states that the show did a coed busi-
ness for the first few weeks out, and
then they met with misfortune in
that it rained on them every day for
two weeks or more. This caused the
management to run short in finances,
and dissension sprang up among the
employees, with the result that some
of them quit. After being tied up a
few days the management was able
to get on the road again, but this
had gotten abroad, and from that
time they had, not the patronage
they had enjoyed previously, with
the result that not enough money was
taken in to pay expenses, and the
management had to give up the strug-
gle and disband.
A great deal of trouble was also
occasioned by the buffaloes, which
got ugly and hard to manage aftel
they had been out few days. In
addition to this several of the choic
est animals died and some had tc
be killed on account of becoming
vicious.

committed his sentence to life i'm

of office, ordered that Gordon should
be free when he became so years old
