no doubt the ablest man that Sho-
shone county ever sent 10 the State
Senate. In the House jenkins
from Latah-Francis jenkins, a
Welshman born under the shadow
of the green hills of Wales-Jenk-
ms was first and foremost-keen
and cool as Damascus blade. Jen-
kins wears an expression of piety
that would deceive the very elect.
Everytime he rose in his place, he
seemed to offer up a silent prayer
for divine guidance and then he
waded in with a calm elaboration
of an Alpine glacier and carried
everything with him. The closing
act of his Legislative career illus
trated one of his dominant charac-
teristics to perfection. He was
making a presentation speech on
tie occasion of presenting cane to
Speaker Hunt. He proceeded with
great deliberation and by regular
and orderly steps reached beauti-
full climax. A page was instructed
to carry the cane to the Speaker,
and the orator sat down amidst
great applause. Everybody thought
Jenkins had surpassed himself and
ali were waiting breathlesly to hear
the Speakers Acknowledgements,
when Jenkins slowly arose, cast his
eyes to the ceiling, paused long
minute in devotional attitude;
looked about the room until he To-
Gated the page who had carried up
the cane; then shaking his index
finger at him, said: "Boy, fetch
that cane back. I forgot part of
that speech and by the rod of Moses,
the cane don't go until I get this
Grafton out of my system" Then
aside, Oh a prepared speech
anyway. l told that clerk / never
could fire off all those rhetorical
gems without stopping to reload"
Jenkins is a remarkably cool man.
And he is a remarkably capable
one, besides being honest, also
straightforward with, of course,
slight variations of the compass by
way of diversion. Latah should
send him regularly. The North
completely dominated the "Thiyd
House" 1t was the whole thing,
and deserved to be by virtue of the
ability of its representation. Thomp-
son is particularly acute and cap
able worker-far-s seeing and indie
fatigable. His plans are worked
out with mathematical precision
and he never sleeps, never even lies
down; and when he sits, it is gem
orally on the remains of the oppo-
sition. II Mr.. Thompson stays in
Idaho, and all good citizens hope
he will, he will be heard of in the
public affairs of the State again,
and always with credit to himself
and the constituency he represents.
Gray is little young, yet, but he
is overcoming that impeachment with
tremendous celebrity. Some of the
older politicians feel that they
would like, in self protection, to
retard this progress. Pickett is in
the prime of working age, and
smart as whip. But those
"Norsemen" so to call them, must
not be fattered. There will be no
living with them if they ever get to
swelling. It's hard enoungh on US
of the South, even if Jenkins re-
tains his humble piety, and O'Neal
his unaffected urbanity.

breeds and two opposite sides of the world.
First is a pair OF American wood ducks,

DARN ducks. natives of far-away China.
The American drake and the Chinese drake
are two of the handsomest birds known to
natural history. The American drake is re-
splendent In gay plumage. Its head Is COW

He has notified yellow sides and his back
is covered with gistening feathers of a
deep blue shade. The body is striped with
white. American blue. however is the pre-
vailing color. The yellow or china is the
predominating color Of the mandarin
drake. He has pretty notified feather
fianges at the extremities OF the wings the
body being dotted with red. brown and
blue. A battle took place recently between
China and the United States as represented
by the brakes. The birds charged at each
other violently. frequently landing sharp
blows Then the American became wary
and cautious. He backed away several
rods from his antagonist. and China imme-
diately became exultant. The American
champion. however. had no idea OF giving
up the battle. but with Tapping wings and
outstretched neck he rushed at his adver-
sary and drove him TO the land The United
States was the victor.

WHEN CAPITAL

ORGANIZER J. WOOD VICTIM OF
CONSPIRACY OF EMPLOYERS.
Encourage, and commission banditti
methods at Tampa.-Daily Press
should give this wide publicity.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %. Eva
Mcdonald Valesh Correspondence.
It appears that the employers il
Tampa, Fla, and the neighborhood,
have arrogated to themselves a power
above all law. Labor unions are law
full; but these employers do not like
unions, therefore they hire band of
thugs to assault labor men who are
conducting themselves in perfectly
lawful and orderly manner Recent
dispatches state that Organizer James
Wood, Of the Cigarmakers, was
shot through the arm and barely escap-
ed being murdered. He had been
threatened some days before, and at
the request of President Perkins, of
the Cigarmakers' Union, President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, wired a sharp remonstrance
to the Tampa authorities. He was
rather superciliously informed that
Wood and other labor men were not
in the slightest danger, and that the
threats were probably product of
their own excited imaginations.
Only three days later came the ac-
count of the murderous assault upon
Wood. No details have been received, :
at this writing, but: it is hoped by Mr..
Woods many friends that his injuries
may not prove serious. He is we'll
known by organized labor throughout
the country and held in high esteem
for his good work and quiet and un-
assuming manners. -.
Only about a year ago these same
banditti used by the employers spirit

leaders in Tampa, and the men have
never been heard from since. :. They

SOCIALIST NEWS AND PROGRESS !

of civilization.
You know of plenty of people be-
longing to our class-the creators of
civilization-who go poorly shod or not
at all, because they can't afford to buy
shoes! There are millions OF them
and they live in-O, such misery, in
town and country, and the preacher
is telling them to be content in the
condition In which God has placed
them! And yet there is a machine
used in shoe maxim which enables one
man to handle 800 pairs Of shoes in
the same time formerly required to
handle five pairs by hand! Is there
any reason why our class should be
content with anything short of the full
benefit and enjoyment of the civilfza-
ton they have made?
Again, with machinery a single cot
ton mill operative in the East canturn
out 10000 yards In a single day,
against $500 yards few years ago in
twelve months. But there are millions
of men, women and children in rags
| or scantily clothed, without the means
of protecting themselves-in spite of
low prices!
The tools which your ancestors and
| mine used were primitive and crude
But what do you suppose they would
| have done without them? What do
you suppose we could do without them
now? Don't you see that in these
modern times we couldn't get along at
all? Yet our ancestors owned their
tools and because of that they were
| really better off than we with all our
| improvements. We are worse off be-
| cause we don't own the tools of pro-
| duction and control civilization We
| are going to be no better off until we
| do.
But we are told by those who are
| accustomed to the sweets of life, who
| enjoy the comforts and luxuries which
our labors have made possible, that
we ought to be contented with the con-
| dition in which God has placed U.S. I
| deny that God has had hand in the
| business. The best recommendation
! man can have is discomfort with the
| existing order. It is man-made and
shows mans folly. God has nothing
| to do with selling franchises in the
J Chicago council chamber, nothing to
| do with selling coal to- miners at $3.50
a. ton, or paying them So cents for pro-
ducing it; nothing to do with the en-
ployment OF human beings In sweat
| shops: nothing to do with buying and
| selling law at Washington; nothing to
do with raising corruption funds and
electing presidents: God wasn't heard
of in the Oshkosh strike, or at Pana, or
| at Hazleton. -:
Get the idea out of your head that
people who want you to7be contented
are your friends: ! have observed that
when such people exp rience reverses
tt.and are compelled to- dring from the
T bitter cup OF poverty, they too, become
discontented! So long as they: hasl<ec
| in fortunes smiles and reveled in the
| delights provided for parasites by the
! producers of wealth, they told you to
| be contented. Conditions reversed
| they have become what every one OF
our class ought to be, thoroughly
wholesomely, persistently dissatisfied
and discontinued with things as they
are.
