The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1907-05-23

DTO me, in the midst Of a busy
morning, there entered an Office
Nboy with the card of Mr.. I.liciils
Werner Of the United States
weather bureau 1T the bottom Of the
card the word Over was written and
upon the back this sentence: "l'or rel-
sons which | shall explain l think that
our interview should be strictly pri-
vate.
Now, why in the world should the
weather man desire a private inter-
View? There can be no graft in his
Office surely. He can furnish no special
brand of weather to those who will
fatten his pocket and, except in his
official capacity as the author Of the
local predictions in the morning paper,
Mr.. Werner seemed extremely remote
from my affairs.
Mr.. Werner proved to be robust
and f1orid young man, yet of stlldi-
Gus aspect withal and very courteous
in his demeanOr.
''You are high up here" said he, with
gesture toward my window, which
overlooked all the neighboring house
tops, ..but am higher, From the tow
er Of the Exchange building, where my
office is, | can look into these rooms,
and l have recently seen something
here which seems to me very strange

'For two nights" he replied. Il have
seen a man at work at this desk. You
have no shades, eh? That is odd
"They were not up when | took the
offices,' said 1, land as these are north
windows | never bothered about the
matter"
l spoke hurriedly and ended with Il
sign for him to proceed.
"NIy attention was first attracted By
a peculiar light said he. 1T was in
this room, and happened to be look
| ing in this direction. There was fare.

one after another, hastily. If the room
/ had been lighted in the ordinary way
l might have got a fair impression of
the man and a better idea of what he
was doing, but because of this dark
| lantern that he used, saw him only
as a vague shadow"
There was a brief pause.
"Alr. Werper." said 1, this is i'm
portant, and l cannot help wishing
that you had told me sooner

THE SQUARE DEAL"

Extensive employers ,of labor can, if they will, learn a most valuable les son from the strike of the miners in the Warren district. The strike. which is now admitted to have practically ended in failure, vas inaugurated and conducted by the strongest organize ton Of miners in Csigicnce. and at its inception there were many in a posl- ton to judge correctly who believed that it might succeed, or a least gain partial Tictcry.
 But instead er even a partial victory, utter defeat was the@ end, and 1t was brought about simply Because the companies had always dealt fairly bg the men and consequently held their confidence. The outcome of the trou- ble is practical demonstration of what the application of the square deal" will accomplish when strictly adhered to by employers in the treat rnent of their employees.
 The physical conditions surround inv the work of the Bisbee miners were made as. pleasant as possible, wages were always maintained on 8 higher basis than in any other mining isection in the country. and. generally Espeahng, the men were treated so that ihey had nothing but the kindliest of feeling and the highest respect for the company officials, and great ma jority refused to support the strike because of this.
 I When once employers generally adopt the 'sauare deaf" in their: basi- ness intercourse with ernpioses, i strikes win be less freqpent and both capital aud labor will gain there5y;.+ ' Phoenix Gazette.

Says the Tucson Star: "COchise county has made the most remarkable strides in the development of material wealth and increased population of any county in Arizona during the past ten years. It was not long since that Cochise was a third class county, rank ing among the weak taxpayers Of the territory Now Cochise is first in pop ulation and ranks the highest in as sessed valuation of any county in Ari- zona The assessed valuation of her taxable property this year will pass the SIG. .OO0, 900 mark, being an increase over that of last year of more than g. .oee, 900. Now, here is growth which tells for Arizona.

GOVERNOR LUIS E TORRES.

General Luis E. Torres has been elected governor of the state of So- nora, republic of Mexico. A moro os. serving tribute could not have been paid to soldier and a statesman than this recognition by the people of the state of Sonora, where General Tor res has resided and served the federal government and the people as sol dier for more than quarter of a century.
 General Torres co-operated with the United States troops in determining the Apache wars by pursuing them through the mountain fastnesses of Sonora when they fled from Arizona and New Mexico into Sonora to es- cape our troops, as well as to plunder and murder Mexican citizens. He has done much in determining the Yaqui troubles of Sonora, and the Star pre- diets that before the termination Of Governor Torres term as chief execu- tive of his state the yaqui troubles will be a thing Of the past.
 Governor Torres, the Star, in com. mon with the best citizens Of Arizona, salutes you and wishes you ali kinds of well-merited success and predicts that you will prove yourself as able a statesman as you have been soldier Tucson Star.

From the examination of. the jurors on the first panel in the case oI the State of Idaho vs. Wm. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, on a charge of murder, it is evident that the social ists, through the medium of their or gans, of which the Appeal to Req son" is a fair sample, have been bust ly engaged for the past six months in an endeavor to create Tn the minds of the citizens of the city who were likely to be summoned as jurors. prejudice in favor of the de fendants. The second juror examin- ed on Thursday was James l.. Ayres, a farmer. who had resided in tke county for the past sixteen years. Ayres testified that he was aUr a subscriber to any of the socialist pa | pers, but that they had been sent to ! him during the past few months. Some of the papers came to nm by mail and some were thrown into his 1 yard. He said he read one of the i socialist papers for time, but finally
 got tired of H. In addition to the
 efforts of the socialistic organs to in
 fuence the result of the trial in Ida ho, leagues and associations have
 been formed for the same purpose. Il
 is to be hoped that these attempts at influencing jurors will go fol , naught The majority of the Ameri
 can people are willing to believe that Mover, Haywood and Pettibone art
 innocent until proven guilty, and vii ] accept the verdict of the jury as proc conclusive of their innocence or guilt but from the actions of the social istic, anerchistic element, 1t is plair
 that they are laying the preliminari , foundation to cry fraud and injustice
 unless the verdict is in accordance
 with their sentiments.

MAYOR ScHMlTZ
 WAS TO BLAME.

The Arizona Republican places the blame for the strike riots very proper ly at the door of Mayor Schmitz. Says the Republican:
 Mayor Schmitz Is largely respoDsi- ble for the bloodshed in San Francisco yesterday. Every person at all tacail- far with the condition of industrial na- rest which prevails there and which he has encouraged and fostered ex- pected trouble whenever the uuited Railroads should attempt to run their cars. ..@1- = 5..--s.-..=
 His utterances the night before, denying the company the protection of police, which he said should be en- ployed only to preserve order aloi $ the streets was notice to the hoodlun element that the street cars manned by strike breakers were fair game. They acted upon this notice and the filed hospitals were the natural result.
 An honest and determined mayor, fair alike to both sides of the con troversy but with the set purpose that each should keep Its proper place would have prevented the worst that happened yesterday. But Schmitz has ever been on the side of disorder and has so conducted himself that the riotous are encouraged to believe that in him they have a friend. He is the worst enemy labor, union Or non-union has ever had, though it was labo! movement which elevated him to of flee.
 There Is no other city in thIs coua try where such a thing could have hap pened yesterday. Thae was by nC means the first or the worst riot tha has ever attended a strike. Sucl things occur even in the best governed cities but they occur always after ; more or less prolonged struggle il spite of the efforts of wise labor lead CTS to prevent them. They result iron the tension and disappointment o days, when men usually lawabidint give way and are then joined by the habitually lawless criminal eIemen which in the beginning wiats in tho background for the development o violence.
 But here the IawIess element va: on the ground early, practically b! the invitation of the mayor, ready tC assume charge of the situation at th' outset, knowing that it had the law ! of the city on its side. It was da! 5 of snatchy by proclamation of th' 1 mayor" .. | .

THE STREET Er ,RAil WAY FRANCHISE .a&

SThe action of the City Council on TpSsdsy evening, at which time the Cou&cil. by unanimous vote. endors- ed tAe proposed street railway sys- tenn dor Bisbee. should on June 12' rece;vl. the endorsement of the quail fled; VI i,ters of Bisbee.
 Tsa \ Council, by, standing cut for tbe Anterests of-s Bisbee. secured eve- concession asked of the street ras,~kay company and careful read ing of the proposed franchise finds no reasonable ground for complaint. The building of the Warren street rail way, from Warren on the extreme eastern limits of the district to the extreme western limits of the corpo- rate limits of Bisbee, in upper Tomb stone canyon, means as nucn Ior Bisbee as it does for the new town sitG of Warren. It means that the residence sections of Bisbee will en- joy and profit by the same means of quick and convenient transDortation to all sections of the district afford ed any other locality, and is a guar aptee that Bisbec property will not only maintain its present valuation, but may be expected to increase.
 The Review insisted from the he, ging that ti,e street railway company should pay into the city treasury a percentage of Its profits in exchange for the franchise. The City Council vigorously insisted upon this piuvis- ion being inserted in the ordinance. and the Review believes that 20 per cent of the net profits is fair coz. cession to the city. BisJee will be the only city in Arizona, where q street railway system is in operation, that receives any share of the prof. its, and the other concesSicrs narJet! in the franchise, which were insisted upon by the Council and accedcd to by the street railway, maEasc the proposition deserving Of the support of the voters.
 Bisbee voters are interested in the upDuiiding and maintenance of prop erty values in Bisbee, and the street railway. connecting Bisbee with the outlying suburbs. will be big factor In assuring for all time to come that Bisbee. as at present bounded oy its corporate limits, will continue to be the hub of the Warren District. To property owners the Warren Street Railway will serve to main tain and increase present values of their property; to business men ii means an increased trade from outly. ing sections. and to pedestrians and employees, who are not property own. CTS, rhe building Of the. street rail way system means an easy; chea- and convenient mode of transpurcs tion to- and from their work and tC all parts of the district.
 The Review bespeaks a big major ity for the franchise for. the stree railway, because the street raiiwa. as at present decided upon, will be- good thing fer ,Bisbee. The unani
 moss vote of the six eouneiimen, Ii endorsing the proposition. was ha' after careful investigation of tn proposition and the securing of thos cohoessions which they deemed fai to the city.

II Is learned further that certain
powerful British interests recently
asked the foreign Office in London to
request permission from the United
States to station three British war
ships in Cuban waters when the Amer
leans leave. Great Britain, however,
is not likely to make any such en-
barrassing request, because the an
swer probably would be that America
is able to attend to her own affairs
and, being responsible for Cuba's con
duct, she would preserve order and
