1t is reported that the officials of
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroads and the representatives
of the railway machinists will confer
together and 'ry to avoid a strike.
1t is stated that negotiations in that
direction have been started and that
the conference may settle all difficulty.
There are several reasons such news
is received with pleasure. 1t will
probably prevent a strike that would
result in loss to the machinists and to
the railroads, as well to tic rcople.
More than that it shows that the
growing tendency of each side to dc
what is fair and just.
When the employee always realizes
the employer has certain rights, and
the latter always grants the same

The Gle Elum Echo complains that
trains are moving too fast in the city
of Gle Elum and urges that an engineer
be arrested and fined for violating a
certain ordinance and thus set an
example for the rest. We are not a
prophet, but venture to say that if the
editor of the Echo would come to
Ritzville and see the freight trains
blocade our streets for Is or 20
minutes at time, he would change
his mind as to fast moving trains.

SPARKS FROM
DIFFERENT ANVILS.

There is evident a healthy growing
sentiment against the Sunday colored
newspaper supplement intended to
delight and calculated to debase and
de=educate boys and girls. We spend
millions yearly in the public schools
to educate the juvenile population,
to teach them correct photography and
pure English, but from a too fastidious
respect for the freedom Qicense) of
the press, we permit the Sunday
supplement to fill the receptive minds
and memories or school children with
witless and demoralizing PICTORIAL but
foonery explained in misspelled and
ungrammatical language which I'M
discriminating children accept for fun.
Children are naturally playful, bois-
ferrous, and need no stimulation-cer-
tainly not such stimulation, and the
public, which is taxed millions for
education, ought to take steps to stop
this most immoral miseducation. Che

A common statement in obituary

To every million of the estimated
population of the United States in
1904 there were 1854 persons COM
nitted to serve sentence of imprison-
ment. This number is exclusive of
juvenile delinquents in special lnstitu-
toms and persons imprisoned for the
non-payment of fines. The number
committed to serve Sentence was a
little less than two to each 1000
inhabitants. The total number of
persons in civil prisons June 80, 1904,
was 81, TIE, while on that date in 1890
the number was 66,8 The number
had increased by 1904 considerably,
but still not in proportion to the
increase in population. 1t is not to
be inferred from this that there is less
crime than there was in 1890, for be-
tween 1890 and 1904 many states
adopted systems of probation and
parole. which lessened the number
confined in prisons. These and other
interesting facts are contained in a
special report of the j., census bureau
on prisoners and juvenile deliquentis
institutions in 1904. The report does
not attempt to answert he questions as
to wheter crime is on the increase,
for the change in laws dealing with
offenders 'uakes it unsafe to depend
upon the figures for comparative
purposes.
However, women seem to be grow
ing better, for, while they constituted
S.5 of the prisoners in 1880 and 7.S in
1890, they constituted but 5.5 per cent.
in 1904. 1t might be that public
sentiment S against Imprisonment of
women has operated to reduce the
relative number of female prisoners.
Perhaps the most convincing feature
of the report is the showing of the
greater criminality among negros
than whites. This has been known
to be true in certain states, but the
report says it is true in all the states
except North Dakota and Arizona. For
instance, in 1890 the percentage of
colored prisoners was 30.4, while in
1904 it was $685.. The movement of
colored people to the North Central
states is seen in the increase from
14.2 per cent. in h9O4. In the year
1904 the percentage of colored pris-
oners committed was 1914, while
colored people constituted but l2.1 per
cent. of the total population. The
greater criminality of the colored

crimes committed, They committed
Bis per cent of the major or more
serious crimes and only 10 per cent.
of the minor. The negro prisoners
were younger than the white, Ill per
cent. being under 80 Years OF age,
while only 1919 per cent. of the white
prisoners We're under 80.
Of all persons sentenced to prison,
drunkenness is the leading offense,
with vagrancy and disorderly conduct
closely following. Of the LAG, SOL
committed to prison in 1904, about
so, 600 were guilty of the three minor
offenses named. For homicide, 2, Ala
were committed, which is 1.6 per cent.
of the whole number of prisoners.
