SUGGESTION.
When you want a first-class daily
newspaper
One that excels in Northwest news;
One that spares no pains to get the
news Of the world, nd print it first;
One whose commercial and financial
news and market reports are admitted to
be the best;
One that is fearless and fair in its
editorial discussion of live topics
republican but independent;
One that contains Bart's cartoons, the
Journal Junior-a weekly paper for
children without extra cost-Termane's
daily Washington correspondence, and
many other notable features peculiar to
that paper,
There is only one thing for you to do
and that is to subscribe for

The President ,"Sits In"

President Roosevelt, In undertaking to
act as conciliator In the anthracite coal
strike, is starting on a new course. We
do not know Of any precedent for such
step. It is true that in 1900 the influence
Of the administration quietly brought
about q settlement of the anthracite
strike of that year. But that is no
precedent What was done then was
more or less secretly and by tndirection.
But now President Roosevelt publicly In
vites the operators and the head Of the
miners union to confer with him about
the deplorable struggle and with a view
to settling it.
The problem has now become so clear
ly national one that few will find fault
with the president for this step and the
great majority of the people will praise
him. There are three parties Of inter-
est in this strike: the miners, the operat-
ors and the public. The public has been
trying hard to get a hand in the settle
ment. but so far the two first named
parties have been doing all the settling
that has been done; the miners by refus-
ing to work unless their terms are con-
ceded. the operators by refusing to: work
the mines except: on their terms. Each
has hoped to tire the other out. This
method Is altogether too slow for public
that needs coal.
Now comes President Roosevelt, a. most
excellent representative Of the third
party, and uses the respect that attaches
to his office to get the miners and
operators to listen to the case Of the
third party of interest.
The presidents plan Of direct personal
discussion Of the question instead Of cor
respondence and representations through
agents is conmendable. If 1t is possible
for this strike to be settled by conces-
sions on one or both sides it will be re-
allied in such a. conference. AS the moral
suasion the president may be able to use
is the most impressive form Of private
settlement Of the strike that is possible.
and as all others have failed. he is doing
his duty in exerting it.

Papa's Daughter.-W1en Eugene Field:
that, prince of good fellows, passed over

SO sweetly, he left his family many re-
moves from afluence. and his daughter
Mary, bright, talented girl, but by no
means the greatest selocutionist in the
world, put on the breastplate of courage
and went out as a public reader. She
won many large audiences in different
literary centers of the country many who
bought tickets being moved to do SO out
of sympathy for. the young woman who
was alleged to be making suoh a brave
fight against poverty, and by love for the
father, whose gentle genius was mingled
with such generous passion for spending
the last dollar that burned in his pocket
One who had spent a dollar which she
could not really afford, to hear Miss Field
read, was greatly interested year or
two later to meet a young woman from
Chicago who was an intimate friend Of
the poets daughter.
''Telf me about her. she said. II hear
she is going to be married. Did she make
a living out Of her reading?"
"Oh, yet" said the Chicago woman.

THE EIGHTH's WANDERINGs
Regiment In Uncle Sans Service That
Knows the Meaning of the Word
StrenuOus

The experience of the Eighth. infantry
demonstrates how much more arduous
military life has become in this country
since the war with Spain. The Eighth
regiment went through the Santiago cam
paign and was ordered to Havana. Here
it remained one year and was sent to
Fort Smelling to recuperate. Soon after
wards it was transferred to the Philip
pines. Two years of hard service fol-
lowed in continuous struggle against am
bush and disease. But Aug. 1 the Eighth
was ordered home. The officers looked
forward to much more comfort than some
Of them have since experienced.
These disappointed officers agreed with
their wives that they would soon be hap
PLY situated amid all the delights Of
American civilization. But when the regi-
ment reached San Francisco the same Of
ficers-attached to six of the twelve COM
panies-were ordered to Alaska.
The remaining officers believed them
selves in better luck. They were or
dered to Fort Lawton,> new post near
Seattle, Wash. But the quarters there
proved wholly inadequate. The majority
Of the officers were forced to pay rent In
the adjoining town.. to live in barracks
with the enlisted men; or to dwell like
Abraham beneath a tent.
When the war department realized that
such treatment was unfair to long SUI
fering regiment, four Of the companies
were assigned to Fort Columbus, New
York harbor. Yet the household goods
and personal property of the officers so
transferred had already been shipped from
Fort Smelling to Seattle. 1t must now be
shipped back to New York city, and the
officers will be put to great expense.

An Impossible Trust.

A trust-fearing reader Of h 9 u r
a asks us to write an editorial on the
question, 'Why cannot trust get con-
troll of all the daily newspapers in the
United States, and thus mold public opin-
ion to suit the trusts in general?"
We believe that a so-called trust or
corporation, Is already at work on the
daily papers OF the smaller cities Of the
east. and there Is a company that owns
a number of dailies in different large
cities. w. r. Hearst is credited with the
ambition Of eventually owning newspa-
per in most Of the larger cities Of the
United States.
But. monopolistio newspaper trust is
an inpossibility. It is conceivable that
a company might be organized with
enough capital to buy all the~large daily
papers in the United States, though it
is probable that there are some newspa-
per properties that are absolutely with
out price. '
But what then?
The people would not support trust
papers The very men who sold out to
l
new papers which would at once spring
into success. The proposed trust might
ally itself with the paper and pulp trusts
In order to keep new papers out. but the
latter would soon start their own paper
mills and would doubtless have congress,
every state legislature and the courts be-
hind them in their fight.
We may soon see great newspaper COM
binations, as pure business enterprises,
but even these will not attempt to mold
public opinion contrary to public interest.
The bitterest enemies Of the trusts to-
day are the Hearst papers.
We cannot think Of any kind Of a trust
that would be more difficult to form
than q newspaper trust. unless 1t be a
farmers trust.

Downfall of Colonel Ames.

little over four years ago Fred Annes,
then lieutenant colonel Of the Thirteenth
Minnesota volunteer infantry, departed
with his command for the Philippines. He
had many friends, was regarded as g.
model national guard officer, was known
to have eschewed the vices that entan-
gled his brother, and enjoyed the respect
of the community.
To-day he stands convicted Of having
accepted the vilest of brides, the soiled
money derived from woman's dishonor
and paid for police ''protection" in prose
cutting that sort Of dirty trade.
Think Of this downfall! Lieutenant
colonel, then colonel of a splendid regi-
ment, military chief Of police of Manila,
chief Of police Of Minneapolis, and-now
convict, with the grim and grimy walls
of Saltwater looming high before him. d
It is career of splendid opportunities
neglected, of bad opportunities utilized.
When Fred Ames became colonel Of the
Thirteenth Minnesota he was beloved of
his men, in contrast with Colonel Reeve,
who was generally disliked. But it was
not long before they came to hold him In
contempt. He did not measure up to his
regiment, he did not make the most Of his
opportunities to achieve distinction. He
came home in disgrace.
When DR.. Ames was elected mayor he
made Fred his superintendent of police
His occupancy Of that office Is a record OF
incompetency ending in shame and now
buried in dishonor.
1t is difficult to study the evidence
submitted In the recent trial without con-
Guiding that the jury is right. Fred Ames
is not unjustly convicted. 1t cannot be
said, as it was said Of the police trials in
the spring and early summer, that the
jury was influenced by public passion
There is none. The people have simply
looked on as cool and disinterested spec
tators. They merely awaited the verdict
They will approve it.
