PRISONERS FORM UNION AND STRIKE.
AT Muncie, Indiana, few days ago.
one of the most unique strikes OF this
extraordinary age was on, strike Of
convicted prisoners for better "grub"
and more OF to be furnished them.
They organized q union, elected a
chairman and appointed delegate to
present their ultimatum through the
turnkey that they would not work for
the commonwealth in breaking stone,
unless they were better fed. AS usual,
tho bloated aristocrat, in this instance
the jailor, attempted srrogantly to
show them that they had nothing to
arbitrate and the authorities nothing
to concede, and the refractory prison.
ers were heartlessly locked in with
nothing to eat or drink but bread and
water. What will be the next step to
enforce their demands is a matter OF
conjecture.

A MOST atrocious murder was COM
mitted near Portland, Sunday morn
ing, by NJ. V. Leasia, who shot and
killed his father-in.law, T. ii. Drews,
and then forced his divorced wife to
depart with him from the scene of
tragedy. They left their two children,
aged Is and months respectively,
with a neighbor, Leasia telling him
that their home had burned and that
his iather-in-law had been badly ill.,
jured by a falling beam; that they
would return to his relief and would
be back for the children in All hour.
The wife was stricken with terror and
dared not give the alarm or make
known in any way the horrible crime
that had been committed. The des-
perado was apprehended in barn
Tuesday, where he had taken refuge
and fallen asleep. He was captured
without being able to make any re-
sistance. He would probably have
ended the lives Of himself and wife il
opportunity had been given him.

EVERETT has joined the innumer-
able throng of cities who had trouble
over the entertainment of the Presi-
dent. The fact is that in many places
there were too many" 1903 + 1909
men, who didn't want to allow any
body but themselves to get a " fin in,''
and that led to discord. Fortunately
Olympia politicians were an exception
to the rule and everything passed har.
moniously.

A NEW slang term has superseded
rubber" in the East. So when you
perform the Peeping Tom" act, hith.
erto called "rubbering," to be up-to-
date you must use its equivalent, and
call it "piking." Entres nous, a street
corresponding with the Midway in
former World ESpositions has been
called "The Pike" That, OF course,
makes real Midway tolerable to fas.

OLYMPIA cannot raise any valid
claim to the short stay of the Presi-
dent. At Ellensburg his stay was lin
tied to 80 minutes, at North Yakima
to 30 minutes, at Walla Walla to GO
minutes (and it is the home OF Ank-
eny). His arrival at Spokane was in
the nighttime, LIS A. NJ, of Tuesday,
and he remained in his car till 8 80
A. NJ, and left the city at noon. At
Tekoa, he stayed just five minutes "by
the clock" and left for Harrison, Ida
no, having finished his itinerary in
this State, about the middle of the
afternoon OF Tuesday, the Goth.

FEARFUL RESULT OF AUTOMOBILE
RACING. - An automobile race this
week, starting from Paris for Madrid,
developed continuous speed of about
mile minute, but it was ut the ex-
pense OF half dozen human lives,
and three others are expected to die.
American and French automobilists
are Mortified over the series of acct
dents. and feel assured that it will put
an end to such trials of speed in
France, and probably other countries.
A stringent law should be passed
everywhere for safety of those who, in
their enthusiasm, seem unable to take
care Of themselves.

ONE matter on which the President
is radically right is, to teach children
to be industrious, trustworthy and in.
dependent. Especially does this apply
to the girls. To rear a girl without
training and education in the ordinary
duties of life is criminal on the part Of
parents. Ignorance and helplessness
are terrible foes of women, from which
frequently arise dark tragedies. Knowl-
edge Of methods. independence of
character and self-reliance are three
essential safeguards for women thrown
upon their own resources in the battle
of life, and these must be taught while
they are girls. Teach your daughters
not to despise the day of small things
and beginning of home duties.

BREMERToN MUST CLOSE OBJECTION

Naval Department has literally got its
back up over the alleged failure of the
authorities at Bremerton to suppress
the saloons and brothels adjoining the

q reform in this matter have all been
broken, and now Assistant Secretary
Darling threatens suspension of work

THAT STRENUOsITY WILL OUT.-The
President should find nothing but adj
miration for the Chief of Police at
Walla Walla, in calling off his force as
and escort for the Presidential party,
at their late visit to that city, if he
would ask for approval of many OF his
own impetuOus acts. 1t seems that
there was some confusion in the line
of march, delaying the Presidents
carriage. That gentleman decidedly
belittled the exalted position of Chief
Executive of the nation and guest
of the municipality, by expostulat-
ting with the City Marshal over the
delay. That officer, it is said. politely
informed the President that the pro.
gramme a. arranged wac being carried
out to the letter. The President, who
had risen TO bis feet demanded that
his wishes be complied with, where.
upon the city's guardsman, bowed de-
ferentially to Mr.. Roosevelt, but or.
dered his suite, detailed as a guard OF
honor, to retire, and they took no fur.
Their part in the programme. The at
fair, of course, created considerable
comment among the several thousand
people present, but there was very
general expression of regret that the
President had not, in this instance.
delegated to some one OF his numerous
retenue the task OF hurting thunder
bolts, if indeed pyrotechnic display
was necessary for the occasion.

THAT ardent admirer of Roosevelt
who sent him couple OF boxes OF fine
cigars, under the impression that be
was contributing material for a burnt
offering to the high priest at the
shrine of party benefice, was shocked
at the assurance that Mr.. Roosevelt
never smoked. This exception is so
rare as to be Of general interest. Pres.
ident Mckinley, like Grant, was an
incessant smoker, and Cleveland was
not very far behind him. The present
occupant Of the White House is the
only President in many years who has
not been a votary of Madame Nicotine.

from the dealers in "wet goods" at
Aberdeen. Realizing that if this rate
of progression is continued, that the
great herd Of common people will be
compelled to go unshorn, and believ-
ing that the average poor man pre-
fers to eat his soup without whiskers,
the saloon men of Aberdeen have

Seattle Postmaster Has Touch From
HIS StreuuositY.

Seattlc's wideawakc enterprise does
not seem to he appreciated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and the fact that the
postotlice in that city had allowed GER
tain facts regarding Mr.. Roosevelt's
spondence to be published in a
local paper, was the cause Of angry de-
ANNEXATION on his car, just after leav
ing Portland, last Friday. The Seattle
paper of the day before, it seems, had
under the usual bombasiic manner
OF city journalism. published with
" careheads." the claim that tie
Queen City was temporarily the sea,
OF the national government, and in it
stated the apparently innocent fact
that the Presidents mail was arriving
at the Seattle office. This might have
passed under not too strict uhserv
ance of postal law, but when the re-
porter had evidently been allowed to
handle the Preside nt's letters, and was
so lndiscreet as to emphasize that fact
by criticising Mrs. Roosevelts chiroy-
raphy, and intimating that she was
careless in not writing distinctly the
final in "Theodorc," the President is
said to have danced as wildly as he
did when reprimanding Gen. Miles,
some months ago, and he at once d.
rccted Secretary Loeb to order the
Postmaster General at Washington to
make a searching investigation OF the
postoflice at Seattle, to ascertain what
official had been guilty of such gross
breach Of trust.
This is, OF course, nuts for the people
of Tacoma, who enjoy nothing more
than the discontinue of any citizen of
Seattle, and is wormwood to the present
incumbent George NJ. Stewart, who is
an applicant for reappointment. AL.
though he may be innocent as dove,
and the indiscretion committed by the
most humble employe, thore is little
doubt but that oar strenuous Presi.
dent will insist upon placing him at
once on the retired" list.
His action, so far, has been about as
decisive as that adopted by Jupiter
Pluvius in smashing the trusts, noted
in our last issue, in which he summar.
lily disposed of the Olympian Nectar
Trust with discharge of thunderbolts
and calmly wiped his hands as he
resumed his seat at the dining car
table and ordered the flunkey to pass
the nightingale's tongues.
MONTANA HERDsMEN FIND DANGER
IN ALFALFA.-It is said that q new
danger to sheep herds has been discov-
cred in alfalfa. 1t has been found
that this forage, after being frozen,
has been shown to produce many
deaths few hours after eaten, and all
doubt of its having been the cause was
removed by examination of the stom-
achs Immediately after death. In
every instance it was found that the
alfalfa caked as soon as it entered the
stomach and exuded fluid poisonous
in its nature. This fluid choked the |
sheep before they could expel it. As
sheep.raising is one OF the principal
industries of the State, the danger
thus presented arouses universal inter-
est and search is being made for
some method of neutralizing the chem
ical action which extreme cold seems
to have upon a product which enters
so largely into the range-iood OF that
State.
