COlfaX.-WiIlie West, who, with
Guy Phillips, was sent to the reform
school at Chehalis for burglarizing a
store at Palouse, acknowledged to
Deputy Sheriff Nessly that he is John
Smith, sent from Palouse five years
ago for burglarizing the same store;
that he is over 19 years old, and was
released from the reform school lit
tie more than one year ago. The boy
was recognized at Palouse by one OF
his former playmates as John smith,
a stepson of Donald Donaldson, but
the boy positively denied that he was
Smith, and testified that he was less
than 16 years old. He claimed to
come from Cincinnati, Ohio and said
this was his first visit to the west.
He told the deputy sheriff that he

from the reform school, and after

Ancient Fable Modern Fact

The most colossal and momentOus
example of the DANCE of warming a
viper made stupid and helpless by cold
is found in the present experience OF
the Pennsylvania railroad with Mr.
Rockefeller. That gentleman is not
a viper-though his competitors have
had good reason to believe that he is
good deal of oa-constrictor-bu
ne was as helpless in the tolls of bust
ness competition as other men until
railroads began to warm him up, de-
velop his coils and put competitions
destroying strength in them. The
warmth was in the form Of special
freight rates and other favors that
railroads had the ability to bestow,
and the disposition to be benignently
generous with in Mr.. Rockefeller's
case. Those favors were solely re-
sponsible for the wealth and power
he now possesses-it might not be
true to say enjoys" Without rail-
road discrimination and favoritism Of
the most exaggerated sort there would
have been no such monopoly as the
Standard Oil company, no such indi-
vidual fortune as that which now
owns Rockefeller, nor no such capt.
talistic power as that now welded by
what is called the Rockefeller
crowd" In the creation of this mo-
ncpoly, fortune and power the PENN
sy lvania railroad was an original and
grievous offender, and doubtless fur
Dished more of the "baby food" That
the young Rockefeller required to
make him what he Is now than any
other offender or group of offenders.
Now that Pennsylvania Dutch good
Samaritan to the helpless viper real
ICES what he thawed into activity, and
how ungratefuI Is the beast he gave
unnatural life and strength to. The
monster that that Pennsylvania
Frankenstein created has turned upon
its creator and proceeds TO do with
him as it will. The road made the
man rich enough to buy itself and now
the man proceeds to do the buying,
"peaceably II he can, forcibly If he
must" The stocks and bonds of the
road are raided, down go their mar
ket value by the run, and as they are
shrunk small enough they are swal-
lowed by the viper that did the
And it Is reported that
enough have already been swallowed
to secure a controlling interest in the
road. or il not secured yet it will be

The man in the fable killed the vi

only devoured its benefactor, bnt has
an appetite left adequate to the swal-
lowing of the steel trust, its coal and
iron mines, its railroads, huge steam
