The Lewiston journal of the II h IL
slant states: "O1e day Shei II F. Z.
Pencil receivt al the ,il letter af-
dressed to Terrio. The writer of IN
letter was Mcintosh. II" WAS then n
Bigelow working In the woods. H.
wro;e that he bell we'd he had possession
of information that would help Terrio.
Sheriff Pencil kept the letter until after
he had gone to Bigelow and had CONVEX
saton with Mcintosh. Mclntosh had
written Terrio to show the letter to The
latter's lawyer or to the county attorney.
After Sheriff Pencils return from an
interview with Mcintosh and had seen
several other people concerned In the
statements made hy MCINTOSH, the letter
was sent to Terrio's attorneys
Mr.. Pencil states that portion of the
above statement Is wrong and the whole
is misleading. He says he did receive u
letter for Terro from McIutosh but de-
livered it to Terrio on the same day that
it was received. Ter7io at once sent
this letter to his counsel at Lewiston
Mr.. Pencil did not go to see Mcintosh
until after Terrio's counsel had been To
Skowhegan and consulted with his client
in regard to this letter.

Canal Treaty And Bfsc.s.

The adoption of the Panama treaty
by the Senate yesterday means that no
further obstacles will be thrown in the
way of the canal and that work may
be started at any time. There Is no
question about the desirability of a
waterway at the Isthmus, but there
was real business question as to the
proper place to locate it. The other
point upon which fair-minded Ameri-
cans hesitated was the manner of ac.
quiring the Panama route. Without
q doubt the United States was party
to the revolution against Colombia,
and with her navy made secession pos
blDlS, WuST6dS IL ltlI W utl ONh iC
sources Panama could never have
drawn away from the mother country.
The day may come when the United
States, involved in serious war with
some great power may have the canal
wrested from her by so small nation
as Colombia together with her allies.
South America is very bitter over this
steal, and time even can hardly wipe
out the memory of it, The loss of
South American friendship and South
American support in future troubles
may prove far more expensive than
the value of the Panama canal. 1t is
seldom that a man makes anything by
stealing, and the same rule may be ap-
piled to nations.

Governor Trying To Shirk.

Governor Carter is again trying to
lay the blame for the present financial
crisis at the door of the Treasurer,
whom he does not want in Office. The
Treasurer long ago announced his in
tention of remaining in office until his
time is up, and who is going to keep
him from it? Governor Carter is as
powerless to remove him as is any
other football umpire. Having ascer-
tanned that he grinds his bit and re-
fuses to pull. Treasurer Kepoikai Is
doing everything in his power in the
direction of sound financial policy.
All he needs is the cooperation of the
Governor. In the meanwhile how
ever, Mr.. Carter sulks and let's the
country go to the demnition bow-wows.

not claim that politics directly inilu-

is fortunate, in the interest of the COM

In mentioning Crabbe, Birbe and

of the late Senator Hanna, boss of the

omitted name that probably spoiled
the whole proposition. We have a man
in Honolulu who has been heard of
from Hawaii almost to Kahuku He
is rapidly gaining the reputation of
being one of the greatest Republican
manipulators of the time, and it is
Que to the G. o. p. that his light be
brought out from under the bushel.

1t can no longer be denied that Rus
sia is an enlightened country and thor
oughly up-to-date in war terms. When
her troops are set upon by natives Of
territory being invaded and outraged
by her, she calls the attacking forces
"brigands." When the outrages Of
Great Britain in Africa and the United
States in the Philippines are resented
with arms, the people turning out to
defend their homes and lives are
termed fanatics" There are no
fanatics in Africa nor in the Philip
pines; nor are there "brigands" in
Manchuria, save those persons driven
to bushwhacking in order to protect
their all from merciless invaders. The
sooner enlightened nations learn
these facts the sooner will the peace
and happiness of the world be assured.

Some of the religiously inclined or
ganizations OF Honolulu have evidently
mistaken the office of The Independ.
ent for that Of the Advertiser. The
christian Mission has located itself
in front ands the Theosophical Society
has perched itself overhead. A mis-,
take has surely been made. II these
two organizations will transplant
themselves to the two unoccupied
sides of the Advertiser Office and make
the attack in conjunction with the Sal
walton Army, which is now besieging
the place, we feel certain that victory
will be theirs.

ADVERTISER in CONTEMPT.

Federal Judge Dole is showing him
self to be as much of the tool of he
"Family Compact" on the bench as he
did when Governor OF the Territory.
OF course he would not cite the editor
of the Advertiser for contempt in the
Davis case, because such action would
involve his back-stairs adviser, Mr..
Thurston. AS matter of fact, the
Advertiser has printed criticisms of
cases from time to time, before they
were taken up by the jury and when
they were being considered, of char
acter in open contempt of court and
against the common rules followed by
newspapers in handling pending cases.

Day before yesterday was observed
the birthday of "the Father of his
country" George Washington, the first
President of the United States of
America. That being so, how about
observing the anniversaries of Adam
and Eve, the parents of the whole
earth, for they are just as entitled
to respect as any others In such
an event, we ought to have two holi-
days week because none at the pres
net day know when they were born
or when made by the Creator.

A correspondent of the Advertiser
thinks that Chinese stores in the city
should be scrubbed out, now that New
Years is over The gentleman's re-
marks leave behind them strong sus-
plcion that he is in the sheep raising
business. He certainly knows that
water mixed with soil promotes the
growth of grass, and sheep have q
weakness for grass.

News From the Orient.

The news from Chefoo this morning
that four Japanese war vessels have
been sunk by the Russians may mean
one of two things. 1t may mean that
the Muscovites have at last been
aroused to desperate activity and pur-
pose doing all in their power to check
the approach of their enemies from
the sea, In that case the success re-
ported this morning may have the eff
feet of encouraging the Russians and
spurring them to efforts that will short
ly bring the most startling of develop
ments. On the other hand it may be
that the Japanese encouraged by pre-
vious successes, may have indiscreetly
pressed too close upon Port Arthur and
been subjected to the heavy and more
dangerous fire of the forts. Fuller ac-
counts of the affair are necessary to
clear up the facts.

in the event of his being sent for to
lead the Cossacks, after being these
many years in civilization, he will
have the job of his life. The Japs may
turn about and give him and his men

pots, which are rated, so we are in
formed, far worse than the "Johnsing"
scows.

The morning press has repeatedly
tried and convicted men before their
cases could be heard by the court at
all. Eddie Jones was convicted by the
paper at the first rattle out of the box
of numbering Mrs. Parmenter, yet a
jury did not so find. For months the
same paper has had Representative
Kumalae, Clerk Meheula and Attorney
Enoch Johnson convicted of destroy
ing House vouchers, and by constantly
hGmmering at the charge has at last
succeeded in getting the matter
through the Grand Jury. There will
be an acquittal, and who will suffer?

IN COLLABORATION WITH WALTER E. WEYL.

pressive measures of the government
the constant clash of political and in
dustrial ideals, and the newness of
unionism itself. all have tended to re-
tard the progress of the organizations.
On the continent, moreover, relations
between employers and employed are
not so favorable as in the United
States. There are perhaps, fewer
strikes, and there may even be less
direct friction, but in these countries
the workingman, whether unionist or
nom unionist, is not accorded the so
cial position which he enjoys in Amerl-
ca, and his organization is not, as
rule, recognized or dealt with. Even
in England the independence of the
Workingman appears to be very much
less marked than in the United States,
as one labor leader in England re-
marked, the Pullman porter in Ameri-
ca is free man, while the English
waiter is a slave.
In no country-not even in England
do the working classes possess the
same opportunities for voicing their
ideas and ideals as in the United
States In our country most of the
trade unons publish journals, supple
mented by scores of other labor pa
pers' while many of the great city
dailies are distinctly friendly to the
cause of unionism and devote many
columns to labor news. In England
on the other hand. the larger news
papers devote scarcely any space to
the doings of the workinginen or their
representa- tives. and both in that coun-
try and on the continent there seems
to be a dearth of intelligently directed
appeals to the working classes.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-10-09

In some respects, however, the con-
dition Of the working classes in Eu-
rope is very much superior TO that of
their brethren in America Both in
England, and to a still greater extent
on the continent. regard is manifested
for the safety of the workingmen and
there is less of thar reckless spiri. in
which the lives of thousands of Amer
lean workmen are sacrificed to the
profits of the employer. The number
or accidents TO employees upon Ameri-
can railways is very much greater
both absolutely and relatively-than in
any country of Europe. The number
of miners killed or permanently in
jured is far greater in the United
States than in England or upon the
continent. and in practically all other
industries the death rate from acct
dents is less than in the United States.
Moreover, in Europe the injured and
disabled wOrkmen and the widows of
the workmen killed are not thrown
aside to become a burden upon the
community, but in ali these countries
provision is made by some system of
Insurance to guard them against I'M
merited misery. Also. in many coun-
tries provision is made for the insur-
ance of the workingman against sick
ness. old age and invalidity. In most
of the countries of continental Europe
he can look forward to the payment
% a definite pension in case of illness,
or when. through age or weakness. he
is unable TO work longer In Europe,
as in America, however. there is prac-
tically no provision against unemploy-
ment, except in so far as this is fur
nished by the out-Of- work benefits Of

working, especially the proportion en-
gagged in occupations requiring great
muscular effort, seems To be larger IN
EurOpe-and especially on the CONT
nent-that in the United States. il
is not many years since women were
taken out of the mines in Europe, and
as late as two years ago women were
still employed inside the Belgian mines.
Even at the present time there are
tens Of thousands Of women engaged
at the difficult and tedious work Of
picking slate above the surface Of the
English, Scotch. Welsh. Belgian, French
and German mines. Women are very
largely employed in agriculture, and in
many towns are put at work cleaning
the streets, or are engaged at other
tOilsome and wearying tasks. In many
countries women still seem to be the
cheapest and most serviceable beases Of
burden: i'm some they are employed at
occupations from which, in America,
they would be excluded by public opin-
ion. The prevalence of barmaids in
Great Britain may be taken as a case
in point
The spirit OF unionism is stronger in
the United States than in any country
on the continent. but IL is weaker here
than in England. In the latter country
labor organizations have existed for so
many years. that the principles OF
unionism have been transmitted from
father to SON. and the organizations
can always count upon a loyalty and
Il love possible only after such a pc
Rod of life. On the continent, the
unions. while growing in strength, are
neither so powerful nor so firmly knit
as are the American unions. The re-
