kia to put an overhead grain tramway

county to Kooskia, has awarded the con.
tract for the tramway to the Ribleti
Tramway company of Spokane for $t5,.

cry and it is expected the tramway will
be in place in time to handle this year Is
crop. The Runway will be one and q
half miles in length and will drain a
grain growing section about IS miles in

Preachers Slip of the Toug ue

Rev. James c. Bradley, young
preacher of Guthrie, Okla, made a
funny slip of the tongue a couple
of months ago, but is very glad of
it now. He was leading the service
at a young peoples meeting and in
the course of his prayer said: 20,
Lord, give US humble hearts, clean
hearts. pure hearts, sweet herrts."
The last caused a litter which
nearly broke up the service. After
meeting was over one of the young
sisters jokingly inquired if he really
meant it. Her question gave him
an opportunity to plead a suit and
the elimination of his odd mistake
in the pulpit came in his union last
week to the girl who had joked him
about it.

The amendments to the Primary law
adopted by the last Legislature, by which
the supplemental enrolment and right OF
transfer previously granted to residents Of
New York city were withdrawn, contain no
provision for changing the primary rolls for
any cause. and Justice CLARKE Of the Su-
preme Court has decided that neither the
removal nor the death Of an enrolled voter
can take his name from the list.
The effect Of the new law is to make il
more difficult for man to vote at primary
than at a general election. A years resi-
dence in the State, four months residence in
the county and thirty days residence In the
election district are required Of a voter at q
general election. To vote at primary. how
ever. he must live from registration day to
primary day, or practically year. In tho
same election district.
The supplemental enrolment and the right
of transfer were done away with to prevent
rival candidates for party honors from
colonizing districts with outsiders, but the
result OF the present law Is TO guard tho
primary ballot box more carefully than the
general election.

The Turkish Government.

A former British Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, Sir WILLIAM WHITE, always

right; but there is a thing called the

behind which, since the accession of the
present Sultan. the palace cabal is work.
ing the ruin Of the Ottoman Empire.
The Mussulman population gains MOTH
ing by misgovernment Of the Christian
population, but it is easily made to be-
lieve that it's own misery is caused by
the hated giaours who rebel against
their sovereign. Hence the likelihood
that the reports of atrocities by the
Turkish soldiers in Macedonia may be
true, for they will hope by DISCRIMINATING
the Christians once for all to be left at
peace in their homes for the future.
For such a condition of things the
Palace at Constantinople and the Govern
ments of Europe are to blame. The Sui
tan is encouraged to follow the path to
ruin by the complete immunity he en-
loved at the time of the massacres of the
Armenians, knowing as he does that the
great Powers do not want to interfere
with his methods of pacification and that
the small States will not BIZ allowed to
act in their own interest.

The Nomenclature OF Labor.

We have received from the editor OF
a well-known Western newspaper re-
quest to join in movement to promote
the general use Of the term free labor
instead OF "non-union labor to desig-
nate those who are outside the ranks OF
the labor organizations.
This invitation is respectfully declined
for the following reasons:
The term non-union labor is specific
and expresses precisely what is meant
to be expressed. 1t is rhetorically color
less and therefore best adapted to the
discussion of questions in which exact
definition is more desirable than in
fiammatory phrase.
The term suggested az substitute
for "non-unon labor" is an assumption,
an appeal to emotion, and in some de-
gree an insult to all those to whom it is
not intended to be applied. The vo-
cabulary of labor disputes in the past
supplies sufficient material illustrating
the danger that lies in provocative
epithets.
Free labor, in the American sense, Is
universal in this country, outside OF
prison walls; it has been so ever since
the abolition of slavery and the adop-
ton of the Thirteenth Amendment.
The labor which combines for certain
purposes is exercising one Of the privi-
legos of that very freedom; and the
labor which prefers not to combine,
that ia, to remain outside Of the unions.
is likewise exercising the same rights
Of freedom.
To attempt to fasten the proudest OF
American adjectives upon one class Of
labor to the exclusion and reproach of
the other class is neither just nor polite.
We accordingly prefer to continue to
apply the word free to all American
labor except that which is penal; and
to classify free labor as union or non
union, as the case may be.

Alleged Methodist Book Concern Lossss-
From the Zfon's Herald.

From the Zt0ns Herald
Sensational reports arc being exploited IA tho
daily press. alleging gross rongdoing In this
Methodist DEPOSITORY In San Francisco under tbs
administration of the former agent the Rev. Or
j. D. Hammond. Connected with this are state
ments rejecting upon tho official character ofths
senior agent Of the Eastern house. the Rev d..
Homer Eaton and the decla ration that not only the
Eastern house. but the business Of the Book Con
Germ as whole, is conducted at great financial
loss
Tho facts are that the loss under DR.. Hammond
in the San Francisco Depository is an old matter
Dr. Hammond ceased to be agent at the last Gen
cral Conference, in 1900. He had been agent Tor
fourteen years or more up 10 that time, and had
made losses aggregating about 1000 year-sore
SO 900 in all. The matter was thoroughly invest
gated at the last General Conference: and while 1t
was clear that many OF his methods and ways OF
doing business were Objectionable there was no
charge that he has Incorporated funds.
Touching the Rev. Dr. Homer Eaton. senior
agent OF the Book Concern In New York. no man
who knows him will believe, for moment that ne
has done Intentional wrong In connection with
this AFFAIR. Whether his confidence In Dr. Ham
mond was In any degree misplaced is question
that will surely be settled through fuller rev.
eIatlon OF DR.. Hammonds career in connection
with the Depository.
The statement that the Eastern house Is losing
money is not justified by the annual reports a,
hand. These reports. which are presented IA
the Book Committee and 10 all our annual Con
ferences. show that Its sales for the three years
ending Oct 81 1902 agg regated 81 ,d@ ooo and i''
profits amounted to S247,O0O The accounts for
the present year are not made UP, but they Will
without doubt show fair Increase In sales and
pronls. The foundation for the allegations Of
loss by the Eastern house may. and probably
does come from the rigid scaling down OF vail
atoms which was ordered nearly four years ago
