ARE TOO SCARCE TO TRIFLE
WITH-Two CARLOADS KEPT
ALL WINTER BY NORTHERN
PACIFIC ROAD.

'More to be desired are they than
gold, yea, than much fine gold"
Such is the motto which the North
ern Pacific would like to hang up over
the doors of the cars occupied Chinese
section hands. The Chinese hands are
the autocrats of the Northern Pacific
system.
The reason for this is that Chinese
labor is becoming scarce and the rail-
way company must go out of its way
to please the willy celestial or when
there is work to do there will be no
one to do the work at the wages now
paid, for they are such as white man
could not live on. All this winter two
carloads Of Chinese laborers have been
allowed to live in cars behind the ice
house in the Northern Pacific yards.
They paid no rent, they did no work,
they loafed and waited patiently for
the time when there would be work
to do.
The company did not say to them,
Get out of the cars; we'll send for
you when we need you. Oh, no, it
said ''Dear Mr.. Chinaman, please
make yourself right at home in one of
our cars. We regret that we have not
a Pullman for your better accommoda-
ton"
And the chinks stayed with the car.
There they were allowed to live and
smoke and sleep. They were never
molested. There were doubtless tears
in the eyes of tn officials when they
heard last evening that Chief Coverly
caring nothing about the intrinsic value
of a chink, arrested two of the band
for fighting. If the fighters are sent
up for a term in the county Jail the
company will mourn the loss as much
as if someone had broken into the
strong box and carried away the weight
of two Cinnamon in gold.
Foreman Fears Them.
And when the chinks are at work
they are as much autocrats as when
they are lying idle in the yards. The
section foreman has q hard position.
He must be able to get along with the
sons of the orient or lose his job. In
all cases where there is a dispute be
tween the boss and the bossed the
company holds the latter and the boss
has to go. New section foremen are
easy to find, but new chnks; They are
scarce and are much to be desired.
The Chnamen have no union. They
send no delegates to the company. If

NOTHING
IS DOING

This is a quiet day at the court
house. Everyone who could possibly
get away to attend the convention
has gone. In most of the offices but
one or two men are at their posts
to attend to the routine business. All
of the courts are closed. There is
quiet over the whole building. 1t
might be described as an air of en-
pectancy-of uncertainty.
On Monday there will be faces joy
Gus and some not so joyous at the
desks to greet the visitors. Then
things will settle little and the hub
bub of the campaign will keep under
cover until some time in August,
when the candidates will begin to
mend fences.

That Jerome is fully alive to the wide open

to force even Commissioner MCAdOo to revise

PRESIDENT WORKING ON MESSAGE.
It Will Not Discuss Tariff Revision, It Is
Said.
nv rhs Associated rressN

Washington, Nov. 11.-Secretary Taft had a
conference with the President to-day regarding
some features of the forthcoming Message to
Congress. The President is devOtng considera-
BILE time each day to work on his Message, and
ii is likely that at to-mOrr0w's Cabinet meeting
he Will be able to present pretty careful
draft of the document.
While the President has discussed tariff re-
vision with members of the Cabinet and some
members of Congress. the consideration thus
far given to the question has not been of a Sc
rous nature. 1t be said authoritatively
that he will mot discuss the subject in his Mes
sage. The consensus of opinion as expressed to
- oroe'dept is hat if the tariff is TO be re-
vised, the work should be taken up at an early
ga, ,e, thus far no decision has been reached.
and none will be reached until the President
has had an opportunity to discuss the subject
thoroughly with members Of Congress.
