EXPOSURE ONLY
WAY TO PUNISH
THE UNPATR|0T|C

A law has been suggested TO remedy
the state OF affairs wherein members of
the National Guard OF the state are In
danger OF losing their positions because
of their performance OF military duty. as
shown by the discharge OF two members
OF Company G OF the First regiment by
the Providence Manufacturing and Tool
company Of II Warren street and several
other cases that have come to the notice
or the brigade commander.
IL Is proposed TO provide that any en-
ployer discharsing man for attending
camp or performing other military duties
should be punished. though such a law
would be OF little or no use, under the
police powers retained by the state, such
cy ,aw Ts,s would be dit be
made forcing an individual. firm or cor
poratlon To employ man, nor TO take
him back after he has been once dis:
Neither is IL necessary for anyone In dis
missing an employe. to give reason
therefor.
Publicity is the only way to put an end
said yesterday.
Judge James Harris said that IL would
be hard to get at the matter In a salts
factory way. He could see no better way
party discharging men for attending
camp.
Col Zenas W. Bliss believed in the mill
tia and IL was self-evident that the men
must have proper training TO be of use.
but he could not see how a law could be
enacted that would force an employer TO
continue in his service any man whom he
wished TO dispense with. The only rem
edy he could see was TO publish such
cases.
John w. Hogan held similar views. Mr..
Hogan declared, the strongest law that
could be passed could not reach the case.
BRIG. Gen. Herbert S Tanner said that
the evil was an old one, and that the case
Of the Providence Manufacturing and
Tool company was not the only one by
far that had come 10 his notice this year.
camp order was issued II might contain
a clause requesting that all members or
the National Guard losing their places be-
cause of performing their duty to the
quarters, and such correspondence az
passed between headquarters and en-
ployers concerning the alter would be
made public. He thought that would go
a long way toward putting an end TO such
cases.
William c. OBrien, one OF the militia
men who lost his position at the Provi-
dence Manufacturing and Tool company:
yesterday denied the truth of several or
the statements made Tuesday by super
intendent Burck of the company. He de-
clared that Mr.. Burck was mistaken In
his statement that he did not ask per
mission 10 be away from his work dur
ing the tour OF duty of Company Z.
O'Brien also denied emphatically that Mr..
Burck had spoken TO him, or 10 any
other man in the shop 70 his knowledge,
about the difficulty of letting them OF at
this time. Mr.. O'Brien admitted that the
shop was pretty busy at this time but
branded the statement as absurd that tne
absence OF himself and Miller, or OF the
would cause the shutting down OF the
factory.

A JAP EDITOR

Toxic July 1s.-"Never -ll, .here be war

The only possibility OF such a thing was

Thus emphaticaly did Kojiro Matsu-

Japanese minister OF finance, declare
his confidence In the everlasting amity
between the two nations which have
come so suddenly to the front OF the
world-stage In connection with the great

supremacy OF the Pacific.
Mr. Matsukata, who accompanied Ad-

THE DYNASuTER.

At Joplin, Mo-, within the past
month, two most dastardly dynamiting
outrages have occurred. The first
destroyed a splendid newspaper build
ing and wrecked the large printing
plant it contained and the second,
within 80 days after the first, wreck
ed the entire plant and building of a
large mining company.
The losses sustained by the two
outrages will reach 5000, 900 and Grip
pie two of the largest industries in
Joplin.
The newspaper plant was wrecked
presumably. because It dared to take
issue against the radical element of
the miners, and the mining plant was
wrecked out of revenge in the same
contention. it is said.
Whoever wrecked them,. or what
ever they were wrecked for, the dy-
namiter should be hanged like a cow
ardly assassin,
Harry Orchard in his testimony
about himself In the SteunenSerg
trial. gave the world a close view OF
the professional dynamiter, one of the
most cowardly and dangerous crimi-
nails in the list.
The radical sentiment of the west
ern mining districts, If it did not give
birth to dynamiting, at least has
nursed 1t into one of the fearful and
destructive criminal practices of the
age.
That sedate old Missouri, with her
even temper and her steady nerves,
should develop an aggravated case of
this crime, is somewhat surprising.

The next international meeting OF

GRIP OF THE PAPER TRUST.

Another one Of the great American
| trusts, which, as in the case of the
lumber trust, could be made power
less for harm, through the removal
of the tariff on timber, giving Ameri-
cans access to Canadian forests, is the
paper trust.
Because of the advancing price of
timber in the United States, it is all
legged, the price of newspaper is soon
to be advanced 80 per cent. To a
newspaper like the East Oregonian,
which uses a carload of white news
paper within a very few months, this
increase will mean several hundred
dollars per year.
To papers like those of Portland
which use a carload a week or within
few weeks, this Increased expense
is terrible-and no advance in news
paper prices or advertising prices has
been made to meet this enormous
extra tribute levied by the paper
trust.
If the timber tariff were removed
the people could reach the waiting
forests of Canada, both the paper
trust and the lumber trust would lose
their sting. The tariff is the weapon
with which they hold up the American
public.
