THE DESIRE TO QUIT SCHOOL.


Superintendent w. F. Doughty of the
Marlin public schools, concludes his an
nual announcement with the following
sensible remarks on a subject tina, should re-
ceive more attention;
Sometimes boys and girls desire to quit
school and 60 to work. Parents often
think tina, this is especially promising in
their boy because he wants to &c, to work
young. Authorities never consider this a
sign OF strength. but say that il indicates
arrested development. Carefully preserved
records show tina, scarcely one boy in fifty
who desires to leave school in the sixth and
seventh grades, IL allowed to do so, will
ever amour, to anything. !, is no, the
fact tina, he has no, the education OF other
boys tina, he does no, succeed, but that he
does no, have the purpose to get ready for
the doing OF things. In case ofihis kind
the parent should come in for his share OF
the responsibility and keep the child in
school until he takes another start to de-
yelop. then the boy will take care of him
self. Every individual needs, and is en-
titled to a good high school education.

NEW ARGUMENT FOR ADVER.
TISING.

The curren, Fourth Estate gives a new
argument in favor OF newspaper advertis
ing. II is especially interesting because u
is based on sound theory and borne on, by
experienced fact. Advertising saves CLERK
hire. Those inclined TO doubt this should
read the following from Iowa. IL comes
from Des Moines, by way OF Waverly,
Iowa. The editor OF the Wayerly Weekly
Democrat reports conversation with a
successful Des Moines merchant, who said of
advertisements:
"rhey pay in two ways. They brig
customers TO our store, and they keep down
our expenses iof clerk hire fully one-half,
Tor the ads make IL possible for one clerk
TO do the work OF two. They prime the
customers with the information that they
would otherwise have to &c, from the clerk
At the expense OF his time. Having read
our announcements, IN four cases out OF
FIVE, a customer comes into our store know
ing just wha, he wants and Just wha, he
will have to pay, and all the clerk has to do
Is TO produce the goods and &c, the money
for them. In store that adyertises prop

TO COMPEL EMPL OYMENT
OF Competent MEN

men without this brief apprentice
ship is declared unlawful and a fine
of not more than 500 or less than
$50, with Imprisonment of 80 days,
or both, are provided as penalties
for violation.
President, secretaries, superin-
tendsnts, assistant superintendent,
stockholders, agents or employees
are held liable to punishment for
infractions.
That the ordinance will receive
popular support seems likely on
account of the frequent complaints
made of inexperienced carmen. The
ordinance is not aimed at the w.
w. P. Co., although it is from pa
irons Of that line that the COM
plant has arisen. The company's
damage suit and accident record is
charged to it's policy of sending out
men In charge of cars who have
had opportunity to learn but little
of what they are expected to do.

Edward McMorrow, the union
executive officer who is here in
charge of the Garments strike, was
wrathy this morning at the morn
ing papers charge of fraud against
the Garments union. McMorrow
dares the company to use his name
in connection with any charge of
fraud in the counting of the ballot.
To make certain that all was done
in fair and honest manner, he in
vited Superintendent Billingsley or
any other member of the Washing
ton Water Power Co., to come to
his rooms in the Halliday hotel
and count the ballot. Further than
that he has a witnessed affidavit Of
the men who voted and what they
voted, whether Yes" or NO"
"Everything thus far" said Nc
Morrow, "is progressing nicely. We
had no idea that this small strike
would cause the powerful company
to run to the police and sheriffs
and beg protection. Our men would
not harm them in the least. Ours
is peaceable strike and that Is
my policy"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-02-09

The striking carmen have already
began a campaign for sympathy
which it is believed will be far
reaching and costly to the Wash
ington Water Power Co. A miner
delegate arrived last night from the
Occur d'Alenes, who was appointed
to visit the local unions and see
how serious the situation is If his
report favors the strikers it is said
the union miners all over the
Occur dAlenes will be ordered out
in sympathy from all properties
that use electric power which the
Washington Water Power Co.
transmits. The strike up there
would be very serious and effective
and cost the local monopoly great
amount Of money in power shut
off. The most seriuos aspect pre-
scented here is the cntemplated &C.
ton of presenting all local unions
proposition to quit the use of cleo
trio light and ask for their deposit
money on meters installed by the
company in their homes. The
would mean loss to the monopoly
of more than $4,000, it is esti-
mated.

INVITED v, W,P. OFFICERS
TO COUNT BALLOT

MeMorrow further stated that 1t
was unjust to taxpayers to saddle
upon them payment Of $50 a day
for special police when the cost is
all the fault of the Washington
Water Power Co., which can bring
the trouble to quick settlement
by submitting to arbitration.
He said the only reason the COM
pany has refused is because by
submitting to arbitration it would
thereby recognize the union.
'The populace is in sympathy
with u.s." McMorrow exclaimed.
Look at the demonstration In our
favor yesterday afternoon and even
ing. How many of the crowd were
strikers? 1t was the people that
made the demonstration in our IA
vor and against the monopoly"
Mr.. McMorrow characterized the
action of Deputy Sheriff Doust last
night in loading eight citizens into
an express wagon and hauling them
to the county Jail like cattle for
voicing their sentiment, as an out
rage on the public in free Ameri-
can city,

An effort to regulate the employ

1t will be introduced by Council
man Pratt, who says he has had the
matter under consideration for

it will meet with no opposition.
This ordinance is framed after
others found effective in various
cities. In brief it requires the en-
ployment Of none but competent
men as motormen and conductors.
and provides that such men shall
be deemed competent after serving

HAUL
MEN OFF IN
WAGON

Dissatisfied with the work Of the
police force last night, the w. w.
P. Co. turned to the court house
and procured the arrest of num-
Der of men on charges of disturb
ing the peace and melting riot. The
warrants were served by Deputy
Sheriffs Doust and McPugh, assist
ed by several deputies.
The men were arrested on River
side at between 8 and 8 O'Clock,
loaded into a wagon and hauled
over to the county Jail. There they
were Immediately bailed out by
friends, who followed the wagon.
Their hearing is set for this after
noon before Justice of the Peace
Stocker.
1t is claimed that the men were
doing nothing to incite riot, nor in
fact taking as much part In the
demonstration last evening as hun
dreds of others who were not in
terferred with. Several of them are
discharged carmen and it is be-
lieved they were deliberately
singled out and arrested as an ex-
ample to the others by direction of
the company.
Irving Howell, an employee Of the
city water department, was talking
to a friend on a business matter
when he was arrested. The others
in the roundup are: l.. w. Trotter,
01215 Lincoln, and A. E. Miller,
discharged carmen; w. w. King,
Traction Co. employe; William and
A. w. Hodgins, 1917 Shannon; Fred
Myers, 1924 Shannon, and employee
Of Grimmer's Transfer Co.; d. j.
Harrington, carman who joined the
strikers.
The union has number of wit
nesses ready to testify that the men
arrested were not behaving in a
way to subject them to the charges
made, and a hot fight Is expected
in court if the case is called.

COUNCIL REFUSES TO
PROTECT THE PUBLIC

For no other reason than that
the council will not install an arc
light in the Madelia st. under
ground railroad crossing, people
who live in the school section, that
portion of the city north of the N
p. tracks. are compelled to travel
back and forth through a dark hole
that would serve admirably for hold
up or other criminal purposes.
The underground crossing has
become rendezvous for tramps,
and women and children run a
gauntlet of hard characters In pass
ing through. In daylight the place
is dim, at night 1t is pitch black.
Recently little girl was seized
under the crossing by hobo while
making her way through after dark.
Fortunately woman pedestrian
approaching just at that time
scared the william into releasing his
intended victim.
This incident, with the recent in
crease Of crime In the city. has
stirred the neighborhood into re-
newed action, but so far they have
encountered no encouragement at
the city hall. All they ask is a
light In the passageway and some
effort to drive away the hoboes
that, find the spot convenient
gathering place.
Union park cars pass under the
crossing and a hold up there any
time would be no surprise to peo-
pie familiar with the locality. That
someone has not been sandbagged
or murdered before this Is a matter
OF wonderment.
The school section is the most
neglected part OF the city. The
school board has persistently de-
clined to make an effort to save
children in that part of town from
crossing the network Of Northern
Pacific tracks by erecting school
house where 1t could he reached
without mourning this danger,
Now the city council turns a
deaf ear to the demand for one
light to remedy an actual danger.

MAD AT THE
MAYOR

That the prevailing trouble be-
tween the w. w. P. Co. and the
Garments union will have heavy
bearing on the coming city election
Is evident in the current of opinion
now being formed among working
men. On this score Mayor Daggett
is coming in for sharp criticism
on the way the crowd was handled
yesterday. Union men claim the
mayor could have stopped the
demonstration in few moments
by arranging an arbitration con-
ference with the company.
In the heat of the affair w. D..
Botham and several other union
men sought the mayor and told him
they were willing to leave the case
with any committee of citizens he
would name. They said they would
take their cause before a mass
meeting or accept any other meth
cd that would permit hearing of
their grievances. But the mayor,
they say, paid no attention to their
talk, responding angrily that he was
determined to dispense the crowd.
Mayor Daggett says in explana-
ton that he had no time yesterday
afternoon to listen to any sort Of
proposition other than ding his
duty as executive fficer of the city
& preserving order. The company
had repeatedly refused to arbitrate
and he had no hope of being able
to change this decision.
But the union men, many of them
at least, believe that concern for
the company's affairs is the
mayors chief care. 1t is asserted
that Secretary Blocker, of the w.
w. p Co., exercised supervision Of
the police yesterday and is the rul-
ing authority of the city forces in
the strike and the fire department
was not sent back yesterday until
