The Prohibitory Law and Its Enforce.
ment

Our attention is called to a recent
and particular Interpretation of En-
fofcement as understood in Kennebec
county and as put forth officially by an
organ of rigid enforcement at Au-
gusta. After urging enforcement i'm
vigorous language, this authority pro-
ceeds to intimate that there is such a
thing as too strong enforcement-th3
respectable druggists. for example,
should not be treated as rumsellers
that it is in no sense such an offence
to sell rum to one who AYERS that ne
wants it for an often infrmity, as IL Is
to sell alcoholic fluids often for an IN
trinity artifically propagated. In me-
this Augusta authority declares LOT
bOss-nlade and sheriff-made law Ior
if officials are to tolerate rumselilns by
druggists allegedly for medicine, All
the rumsellers will turn medicine men.
Lewiston Journal
II the above refers to an editorial re-
Gently published in the kennebec Jour-
nal, then it is very evident that our
Lewiston contemporary put a very er-
roneous construction upon what we
said in reference to the enforcement
of the prohibitory law. We had sup
posed that we had made it perfectly
clear that we are as we have always
been. in favor of the rigid and faithful
enforcement of the Prohibitory law
precisely as it stands.
We did not suggest that there was
such a thing as IA too rigid enforce
ment of the law. while it remains III
its present form upon our statute
books. in the case of druggists or any
one else. So far from declaring for
"boss-made and sheriff made law, we
took what we thought was strong
ground against this very thing in the
following language:
There is no question but what pro-
hibition mas worked well in most or our
country towns. 1t is in our cities
that its viola ton has been the most
frequent and fragrant Cnquestlonably
public sentiment is calling for Il more

DENVER PROBLEMS.

The conventions of the Western
Labor Union at Denver seems to be
killing time, although much import
ant business is yet to be transacted
Chief among the proposed measures
is that of merging the w. L. U. and
the Federation of Miners, all to be
under one head, This consolidation
is looked upon with favor in Mon
tana and would no doubt be benefi-
cial to the cause of union labor
throughout the west. The other in
teresting proposition is the contem-
plated political move, the unions in a
body to indorse the socialistic policy.
Should it become necessary for la
Dor to present a united political
front or adopt any party, there will

AS the Wheel Turns,

Carlos EZeta, once president of
Salvador, man who, it is said, has
owned millions of dollars, was be-
fore justice of peace in San Fran
cisco a few days ago to show why
he should not pay laundry bill. He
confessed the debt, but pleaded that
he had lost everything and was the
possessor of neither real nor per-
sonal property whereby the judgment
could be satisfied. On this plea, TAX
ing the pauper's oath, poor Ezeta and
his wife were released to go their
way. This leads the Spokane Chron-
icle to sermonize, and the conclu-
sions arrived at may be applicable
to any of the lucky rich men of the
cities Of the new west. Pride goes
before a fall.
$50 the wheel turns. Did it ever
occur to some Of Spokane's people,
now reveling in easily gained wealth,
that the wheel might turn with them,
too? Isn't there a lot of senseless
extravaganza, of needless scattering
of resources and in a few cases-sad
to say-isnt there here and there
suggestion of snobbery which now
appears painful to the victims, but
may look positively grotesque in
few years if the wheel happens to
urn the other way?
Maybe there are places where it
is safe for many people to hold their
heads high and squander money fool
ishly, secure in the possession of
fortunes; but Spokane isn't one of
them. Young as the city is, it has
seen the air castles of one series of
millionaires crushed like card houses.
1t has known poor men to be trans
formed in few months to wealthy
capitalists. 1t has watched money
thrones and scanning the butchers
bill and grocer's bill with sorrow. It
has seen the doubtful debtor of yes
terday become the heavy property
owner of today.
Spokane has watched thousands Of
dramas-thousands of comedies
thousands of tragedies in the lives
of it's own people. 1t has had good
cause to learn the lesson that the
man or woman who fawns on the
wealthy because of their wealth is
almost as contemplate as the rich
weakling who looks down on the
poor because of their poverty. 1t has
| had abundance of time to discover
that the possession of a fortune is
not a guarantee of happiness, ease,
virtue or security; that the lack of
money cannot keep the true man
from being every inch a man.

1t was perhaps best for the rem
nants of the war worn Beers that
the peace council prevailed. Although
in far off Holland Dom Paul ex-
claimed: my God, it is impossible, y
the Boer generals in the field prob.
ably knew their own business best.
The consequences of the war of three
years duration have been disastrous
to the British nation and cost much
blood and treasure, how many Brit
ish soldiers has not been lately es-
but the lord of the treasury
reports an expenditure of a billion
and a quarter in prosecuting the
struggle. The South African repub-
lies have lost practically everything
their homes have been devastated
their farms destroyed and their fam
lilies scattered. 1t may take years to
restore order and prosperity to that
devoted land Humanity rejoices in
the end of the bloody struggle.

be found no better principles to in
dorse than those enumerated by the
pure socialists. Upon their doctrines
of right and equity the labor unions
are founded, and if combined move
ment of all labor organizations was
made in this behalf the socialist vote
would become a power. Under ex-
listing conditions, whichever way the
laboring man casts his vote, it is
lost; for it has not been demon
strated in the past twelve years that
the democratic party is more friend
ly to labor than is the republican.
Both of the dominant parties pat the
brawny toiler on the back during
campaigns and pass him up after
ward.
Should the socialistic policy be
adopted, it would probably be of
some weight in the west, if all the
members of organized labor would
stand by their guns, but it's effect in
national politics would probably not
be forceful.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1902.
ORGAN OF THE PEOPLE.

The Bee takes pleasure in inviting
comparison of today's issue with any
weekly or semi-weekly publication in
the state. The new management and
the new company are now at the bat
and propose to excel in the newspa-
per line. The thousands of readers
of the Bee in Flathead county are
the best judges of the Bees value as
"a news disseminator, and, the bust
ness men of Kalispell show their ap-
probation of this newsy paper as an
advertising medium by an increased
patronage. Statistics are not usually
of peculiar interest, but the facts and
figures contained in this issue apper-
tanning to the disposition of the
county funds for the past quarter,
while tedious to coIlate and put in
cold type, will be scanned with both
curiosity and interest by the resi-
dents and taxpayers of the county
The Bee furnishes these columns of
county business to it's readers will
ingly and proposes to continue on
this line. Though it is not the official
paper of the county the figures set
forth are guaranteed as correct as if
attested by the county clerk and re-
corder. OF the various news feat
ures of the Bee, to read is to know
that Flathead county has never be-
fore had a paper of which it could
justly be proud.

STRIKERS OF CHICAGO.

Because the millionaire operators
of the Chicago stockyards refuse to
shorten the hours and slightly in
crease the pay of the transfers who
deliver the supplies over the city,
there is danger of a serious uprisal
in Chicago, and already some severe
conflicts with the police have taken
place Heads have been broken on
both sides, and the second day of the
trouble was worse than the first. The
teamsters employed by the retailers
have Joined the strike, and it is said
that 10000 butchers and assistants
employed at the packing houses are
ready to strike. To assist the rich
men in further grinding down the
poor the full strength of Chicago's
police force has been devoted to the
service of fighting the mob in an at
tempt to make deliveries with non
Hil'CAi NllNClo VI lllS NdSOllS. IL Is
all unutterably wrong, and the Big
Four are worthy of all the blame for
bloodshed and trouble Though they
have refused to make any conces
sions or even to meet the represent
atives of the transfers union, those
arrogant millionaires may yet be
forced to pocket their pride The
devil slumbers but lightly in the
mobs of Chicago, and the awakening
is always terrible. Before 1t is too
late the rioters should be appeased
but peace will never be accomplished
through the head breaking and blood
shed forced upon the police, and tn,
Chicago mob does not even stand il
awe of the military Should tn,
throng of strikers be reinforced b,

The expense to this county for
smallpox care and medical attend
ance for the same during the last
quarter amounted to $3,971.54, as far
as has been heard from. This is
noteworthy only because the small
poX epidemic has been declared prac-
tically extinct within the past three
months, and at one time there was
but one patient in the pest house at
Kalispell.

The Bee may be wrong, it is quite
possible, but it would like to know
upon what authority the county COM
missioners allow the claim of the
county superintendent of schools for
livery hire. The item during the
last quarter was not great, only
$685. but the precedent is ques-
tionable, and there are others of the
county officers who are on record.

Compulsory Industrial Insurance.

In view of the fact that compul-
sorry insurance has worked advanta-
geously to the working classes in
European countries, especially in
Germany, it is matter of some sur
prise that it has not been taken up
in the United States. Recent disas-
tiers which have bereft many fami-
lies of their bread winners direct at
tention possibly to the advantages
of such insurance. A bill has been
introduced in the Maryland legisla-
ture to provide for compulsory in
vogue in Europe, and if the bill be-
comes a law it's operation will be
watched with much interest.
There is still another form of in
surance which has begun to appeal
strongly to large industrial corpora
tions. This is old age insurance The
Worlds Work has been investigating
the development of this system in
the United States, and finds that
within six months it has been
adopted by four great railroad com
pan1es. In each case the plan is char
acterized by features which enable
beneficiaries to retain the sums al
lowed them as annuities earned, and
not as charitable donations.
For some time Andrew Carnegie
has conducted a pension system al
his Pittsburg mills, and the Balti
more & Ohio railroad, the Chicago &
Northwestern, the Grand Trunk, and
the Illinois Central have had others,

Among the items of county ex-
pense, published elsewhere, is an al
lowance of $32.25 for saving wood for
Jail during the quarter Were it not
for the prevailing sentiment against
convict labor, it might be considered
outrageous that this claim should
have been presented by the sheriff
or allowed by the county commits
sioners. Surely with a Jail full of
time servers enough might have been
persuaded to saw the wood which
furnished the fire to keep them
warm and cook their grub.

The republican city government
having slumped on their promise to
enforce certain state laws, the demo.

to make a record. The sheriff and
the county attorney can probably get
few pointers on this if they wish

such that pension plans fit them bet
