was riding to pass.
As Haywood walked up this file, hun
dreds of hands were stretched out to-
ward him, but his solicitude for his
wife caused him to resist the evident
desire TO grasp the many hands ex-
tended to him. The continued cheer
ing that greeted him kept his face
wreathed in smiles, and when he final.

wife safely seated inside Haywood
abandoned himself to the spirit of the
occasion, and standing upon the rear
seat of the open carriage, repeatedly
shouted cheer after cheer as he waved
his hat. The crowd of several thou
sand people joined with him, and for
several minutes the roar of cheers con
tinued. Half a hundred enthusiast
started to unhiteh the horses from the
carriage and attach long rope, so
that the crowd could drag the convey
ance up the street to Haywood's IS home.
Haywood requested that they forego
this expression of regard, and they
dcsisted. IL was several minutes be-
fore the streets could be cleared, and
when an opening was broken through
the crowd the horses pulling Hay.

teenth street at a brisk trot. All the
time Haywood, with one arm around
his wife, waved his hat to the crowd.
The party arrived at the Albany
hotel some minutes before the crowd
reached there and Haywood had time
to make his wife comfortable in the
hotel before the people began to gather.
Responding to demands for a speech,
| Haywood said that he would "tell
them all about il later" and asked to
be allowed to retire for the night. Dur
ing this brief talk Haywood referred
to what he said was the prediction Of
the mine owners that he would come
back to Colorado in a pine box. "l
am very much alive, you see," he said,
and continued: "This great reception
is the happiest moment of my life.
My cup of happiness would be complete

side. One thing ] am convinced of,
and which the last eighteen months has
definitely taught me, is that if the
unions stand together, you cannot

Haywood then stationed himself at
the hotel entrance and as the crowd
passed through the door he shook
hands with the people until exhaustion
compelled him to quit. 1t was several
hours after Haywood had retired be-
fore the crowd left the vicinity of the
hotel.

Peace and concord are the watchwords
of internationalism; but the great OBJ.
stacle is the megalomania, the imper-
ilalistic ambition, the belicose spirit
of nations; and in the United States
Mr.. Roosevelt has been instrumental
in fostering these mischievous passions.
Although the United States is a coun-
try which has less to fear from inter
national imbroglios than any country
in the world, yet under President
Rooscvelt's administration the naval
expenditure has increased by 80 per
ccut Turing the last four years, and the
amount voted for new naval construc-
tiUu and armamcnts is now as large
as that of Great Britain.
But there is one thing more mere.
trlcious than this, ana that is his policy
of fostering the military spirit in the
schools, by recommending that rife
practice should form part of the Anne.

communication will have its natural

and endorsed by the national board for

results can easily be foreseen.
Such is Roosevelt, the reactionary-

Roosevelt the Reactionary.

President Roosevelt is commonly ac-
claimed by AN admiring press as one
Of the most enlightened and progress
i've men of the age. But when his life
comes to be written, and the truth
comes to be told, he is destined to
figure in the pages of the candid bio
grapher as the greatest American re-
dictionary. The truth of this eharac
terisation will be found in the Presi
dents policy-his policy economic and
militant.
AS regards his economic policy con
slider his attitude towards the trusts.
He finds them menace to the national
welfare and SO with the impulse of a
primitive man he cndcavors TO smash
them. A wise and far-sighted man
would have been alive to the tcnlen-
cius Of the age, aud TO the economic
transformation which is taking place
he would have grasped the one true

DebS on
the Verdict
Gives His Views of the Result of the
Trial and Effect it Will Have
Triumph of Justice

The aequittal of Haywood is in many
respects the greatest victory ever
achieved in the history of the Ameri
can labor movement. The verdict not
only vindicates the defen liant, but is
in the nature of a rebuke to the prose
cution.
The verdict, it must be admitted,
continued Mr.. Debs, was a surprise to
Haywood friends anu symjathizers.
Not that they had any doubt in regard
to his innocence, but because of the
circumstances under which he was
taken to Idaho, ard the further fact
that he was tried in a hostile commun-
ity and by a jury composed of his po-
litical enemies. Under these circum-
stances, the best expected was a mis-
trial of a disagreement by the jurors,
and very few were sanguine enough to
predict an absolute ucquittal.
The original design of the prosecution
backed by the Mine Owners Associa.
tion and the Standard Oil Company,
who have practical control of Idaho,
was the speedy execution of the de.
PENDANTS in the hope of thereby strik.
ing fatal blow to the Western Fed.
Grafton of Miners. But the blow aimed
at the Federation and against organ.
izel labor in general, has recoiled upon
themselves and the effect will be, in
my opinion, the aeceileration Of the
solidarity of the working class along
the lines of industrial unionism and
socialism.
This effect will not be confined TO
the western states, but will extend TO
the labor movement in general through.
out the nation.
The defense was conducted in a most
able and skillful manner. But this
alone would not have saved Haywood
and his fellow officials. 1t was the
uprising Of the working class AMI the
Indignation protest of the people in
general that thwarted the conspiracy
and defeated it's moline pruposc.
Tho spirit for the fair play on the
part of the American people was never
more manifest than in this instance.
As the trial proceeded they became

cution did not dare TO force a con.
viction.
A surprise in the trial occurred in
the instructions of Judge Wood to the
jury. These were in striking contrast
with some Of the other features Of the
trial, and my personal opinion is that
the powerful interests that were pro.
scouting the case, realizing that the
American people would not stand for n
conviction, and that conviction would

preaching national election, brought
their influence to bear upon the court
in favor of acquittal. This, in my
judgement, accounts for the instruc-
tions of the court, which amounted to
a plea in favor of the defendant for
the verdict, resulting in his acquittal.
When Haywood and his associates
were first kidnapped and the horrible
confession of Orchard, the degenerate,
was made public, the sentiment of the
people was overwhelmingly against the
accused officials and those who knew
the men were confident of their in.
noeenee were sharply critized and in
fact, condemned for espousing their
cause. But the truth was bound to
prevail and there is now but one opin.
ion among the fair minded men, and
that is a cruel conspiracy has been
thwarted and the intended victim has
been triumphantly vindicated.
The victory is distinctly a victory OF
the labor movement for without its
widespread, emphatic and persistent
protest, these men would have beer
undoubtedly sealed their fidelity to the
working class with their lives.
But justice has triumphed and viii
liam ID. Haywood, instead of perishinl
upon the gallows as convicted felon
now stands in the very fore front OF
the labor movement of the world.
Knowing him personally, do, ant
confident as | have always been, moi
only of his innocence of the crime
charged against him, but of his loyalty
to labor, his ability as a leader, ant
honesty as a man, proposed some time
ago his nomination by Socialist Par
ty as its candidate for the presidency
and / now believe that when the ma
tional convention meets, his nominn
tion will be made by acclamation, anG
that the working people of the country
will rally to his support.
Incidentally, it may be stated that
the verdict Of "not guilty" will place
President Roosevelt and the Supreme
Court in an awkward positions; the
former for pronouncing Judgment or
untried men, and the latter for legal
izing their kidnapping in decision
that will forever stand 10 the discredit
of that august body.
1t is to be hoped that President
Roosevelt, in justice to himself will
see his way clear to relieve himself
Of this embarrassment by rendering an
apology to the men he accused, whC
now stand without n blcmish befor,
their fellow men and country.
No only tho working men, but tn,
American people in general ARE to b,
congratulated upon this significant and
far-reaching triumph Of justice.-Eu

Telephone
Strike
General Walk.Out of Operators All
Over the State-The Fight to
Finish Is Now On

a general strike Of all telephone
workers employed by the Bell company
has been declared. The Helena opera
tors were the last called out and re-
spondcd to the strike call Monday
forenoon.
The company have been violating
their agreements with the unions ever
since the agreements have been made
and it is now down to fight to the
finish.
The fight in Livingston has been on
for some time and the company had
to close up their exchange and this is
the main reason OF their asking for an
injunction.
Six scabs went to work in Living
ton when the strike was declared at
that point. The unions put the tele-
phones on the unfair list and every
store, business house, hotel, boarding
house that used the phone were also
declared unfair and the boycott rigid.
ly enforced. The union men voted to
pay an assessment of $1,000 to their
uninOn for every purchase they made
in store that used phone or pur-
chases that their wife OF children
made. The single men voted TO pay
an assessment of $1,000 to their union
for every meal they ate in hotel,
restaurant or boarding house that had
an unfair phone in the house and to
pay $1,000 assessment for every time
they slept in hotel or rooming house
that patronized unfair phones.
Only two stores in town cut out the
unfair phones and to these stores the
trade of the union men in town were
concentrated and one hotel which had
prepared dinner from food purchased
at an unfair store, had not a solitary
customer.
So well did the union men of Liv'
ingston hang together that the bust
ness mems association sent a commit
tee to the unions offering to cut out
all phones. An agreement was reach
ed between the business men and tho
union which resulted in the phone ser
sive being put out of commission anl
the company had to close up Its centra
exchange office and quit business en-
tirely.
Some of the Livingston merchants
who were put on the unfair list claim
ed that unions were alright but they
went too far when they attempted t.
run a mans business. The unions re
piled "We are not trying to run you
business. The question is do you wan
the scab phone or our trade, you ear
not have both. 1t is up to you whicl
you will choose. That is your bust
ness. Our business is that we trad
where we please
If this kind of method is used b,
the unions of the entire state it is saf
to say that the Bell Telephone com
pany will have to conceed TO the uniol
or quit business in Montana.
The court may grant the injunction
against the Livingston unions but tn
court has not the power to put the tele
phone company ON the fair list or com
pei any union man to make his pur
chases or patronize any business hous
that uses the scab phones.
Regardless of all iniunetions, th
union will have TO win the fight il
Livingston or the Bell Telephone can ,
do business, for nobody will patroniz
it.

terprising, up-to-date and progress

of the Payette-Boise Irrigation pro-

The spring of 1906 witnessed the
Inauguration of active construction
work on the largest single irriga-
ton project in Idaho, the reclama-
ton by the government of 100000
acres or arid land in the Payette and
Boise valleys, and known as the Pay
ette-Boise project. The system COW
ers about 100000 acres, of which
approximately 100000 acres is al
ready supplied with watar- by exist
ing bitches and most of 1t is under
cultivation. This work complete is
estimated to cost in the neighbor-
hood of $6.00O,0O0, or $40 per acre
for the land reclaimed. Work has
been prosecuted vigorously and rapid
progress has been made on that part
of the project under the canal which

with hateful persistence remained at
the top of the bush while he plowed
through 1t.
He finally scrambled to the top of
the mountain and paused to survey
the country, his tattered garments
waving a fitful signal all the time
as the breezes kissed his bruised and
bleeding anatomy.
He could see no deer. This aston
ished him as he knew 1t had headed
in that direction and he had kept
watch that 1t had not turned aside.
He moved cautiously around and
finally saw tracks. They were lead
ing toward his house. That looked
funny to Taylor, but the best he
could do was to follow them up.
Strange enough those tracks led to
just where he had taken the shot at
the deer.
Then he looked up: and there. not
ten feet away from him, just around
the corner of the barn. lay that deer,
stone dead. He had shot it entirely
through the body, the bullet passing
through the heart, with 22-rifie at
100 yards distance, and at the first
shot, at that.
Taylor didn't get out of the house
for a week, and meanwhile he didn't
even have a night gown to sleep in,
the only one he had being distributed
