The talk of Japan declaring war on
the United States is mere idle chat
ter. There is no indication that Japan
wants war with any nation, and if she
did, she would have better judgment
than select the United States for ali
antagonist. The little difficulty with
Japan over the San Francisco school
board refusing to prevent Japanese
children to attend the public schools
can and will be settled without war.

This newspaper talk about the in

White is rot, pure and simple, Thaw
was and is debauchee who had
money. That he had any brains has
not been established, but there are
multitudes of people who give no evil
dence of possessing brains who are
not cassed as insane. Thaw and his
associates, which includes Evelyn Mes

rest of that ilk might all with equal
proprety be classed as insane"

Harry Thaw's pleas in justification
for the murder of Stanford White is
heredtory insanity. The fact is corn
wine and woman caused the murder
of White. If these constitute heredi-
tory insanity then Thaw should stand
acquitted. If not he should receive
the utmpst penalty of the law, short
of FORGETTING his life.

that were considered quite the thing
bv the illustrious twain whom they
are now generating as patron saints
OF late the chill breezes and icy paths
have been putting up pretty strong
argument against their faith. 1t got
so that the apostles presented the
paradoxical spectacle OF shivering
with their bodies while, through chat
tering teeth, they spoke with their
tongues to the glories and idealism
of habitual exposure of person. The
martyrdom of spirit was beautiful,
even if the nakedness of the body was
revolving But men and women can
not live by idealism alone, and so
little of the shivering of limbs and
chattering of teeth went long way.
Now the human curiosities are will
ing to put on some clothes. They
are ready to sacrifice their spiritual
ideals on the altar of physical COM
fort. Unless they can find spot
where they can go naked comfortably
they will dissolve their organization.
Thus have the Alps played havoc
with theology. Thus have some lun-
atics been put out of business by the
weather.
There are other freak organizations
and visionary agitators who, from
time to time, like the Natural Mans
Colony, meet their fate by contact
with common sense and immutable
physical laws. Some OF them are
indecent, some are clean enough, but
mistaken. One OF the vagaries of the
modern age is what is commonly des-
ignated as Socialism, and among the
agtators OF the doctrine are certain
sons of rich men who are the bene-
fciaries of that which they by word
of mouth rail against. They think
or profess to think-that it is wrong
for non-producers to possess wealth;
without discussing the economical
merits OF the matter, the fact remains
that while they assume that position
they themselves do not produce. They
say it is sinful for some folks to ride
i'll automobiles while others starve,
and daily they go spinning along the
boulevards in touring cars which
were purchased either with money
they themselves obtained from their
parents or else were purchased by
their parents with funds acquired
under the system which the "parlor
Socialists condemn.
Thus is freak Socialism sorely
wounded when it goes ~ against
stern realities. Thus does the lunacy
OF the Natural Mans Colony collapse,
when it is hit by cold wave. And
there are others.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

COAL FAMINE
A CERTAINTY
ACCORDING TO KENDALL
OF POTLATCH COMPANY
AT This Time the Railroads Are
Short of Fuel, Condition Which
Did Not Exist Year Ago-He Be-
licves the Present Mines Are Not
Adequate to Supply Demands
Other Factors.

That a coal famine, worse than the
one of last winter, is bound to occur
again this year, is declared by John
Kendall yard manager for the Pot
latch Lumber company, who has been
here today. According to Mr.. Kendall
the fuel conditions at this time are
much worse than they were a year
ago, and he says that anyone familiar
with the business can easily see that
q shortage of fuel is inevitable.
Last year it was easier for dealers
to secure coal than at present" said
he this morning, "and the railroads
were not having such difficulty in Sc
curing coal for the operation of trains.
But a short time ago the o. r. & y.
company was forced to lay off a
freight crew simply because it could
not secure enough coal for operating
purposes. There was nothing of that
kind last summer and when the rail-
roads cannot get coal for its engines
It certainly looks bad for the winter"
As to why the coal supply is short
Mr.. Kendall believes that it is be-
cause the present mines are not ade-
quate for the needs of the country.
But few people realize that the
northwest has grown rapidly in the
last few years and that much more
coal is now needed than then. We can
see this in the Palouse country, where
three or four times as many trains
are now being run than in former
years. This all means that the coun-
try has also developed and there is
now a much heavier demand for coal
than formerly. At one time all OF the
coal for our section was gotten from
the Roslyn mines. but now we can
get none from there. Also, the Union
Pacific Coal company is out of busi-
ness, at the instance OF the govern
ment and no coal can be had from
their mines. While the governments
action towards those companies will
probably be beneficial in the end, the
only result so far has been to advance
the price of coal about 50 per ton"
At present all of the coal coming to
Pendleton is from the Montana mines.
and while considerable is being ship
ped in it is the belief of Mr.. Kendell
that the supply will fall short next
winter and that another fuel famine
will occur.

hours on the Union Pacific, 1t bore
the marks of terrible boiler ex-
plosion which occurred Thursday
night near Rawlins, in which Engi-

and an unknown tramp were killed.
Union Pacific engine No. 1920,
which was once used on the O. +. &

standing on the sidetrack at Latham,
Wyoming, and the four men were in
stantiy killed, the body of the tramp
being literally torn to pieces.
Fragments of the boiler struck the
mail car of No /, which was at
Latham at the time. Four cars of

explosion and considerable damage
was done to the track.
The engine was one of the older
type OF freight engine on the Union
Pacific and was under 210 pound
steam pressure at the time of the
explosion. 1t is supposed that a
latent detect in the boiler was the
cause. as it is known that there was
sufficient water in the boiler at the
time.
Following a recently adouted GUS
tom the Union Pacific officials inn
mediately summoned a committee of
citizens from the community to in

Terms of the Settlement.

Oakland, July 20.-By the terms of
settlement 20 operators will be re-
employed within five days, SIS addi-
tional within 80 days, but all on indi-
vidual application only. The opera
tors will receive the same salaries as
before the strike, but not necessarily
the same position, or hours.
Any question as to grievances to be
taken up under the terms prescribed
in Clowry's letter of June 90. Future
grievances to be taken up under the
same letter.
By the terms of the agreement sign
ed by I. n. Miller, assistant general
superintendent of the Western Union.
L. w. Storrer, general superintendent
of the Postal, and national President
Samuel ]. Small for the telegraphers
both companies, are to re-employ
without prejudice. all the operators
who were on strike and the question
of wages is to be taken up after the
resumption Of work. The employees
or each company are to appoint rep
resentative and the company one, the
two to elect a third which shall con-
stitute an arbitration committee. In
event of the two failing to agree on
a third arbitrator the latter is to be
named by the chairman of the inter-
state commerce commission and the
labor commission Jointly.
While the companies do not openly
recognize the union and insist upon
dealing with their own employees, the
fact that the representatives of the
companies signed the agreement with
Small is regarded by the operators as
o recognition of their organization.
About $50 operators involved will
return to work Monday morning.
Small said today that the terms OF the
settlement are entirely satisfactory to
the operators. THE settlement of the
San Francisco strike is far reaching
in significance. 1t will put a quietus
on the strike talk throughout the
country 1t is a happy coincidence
that the strike ended July 10. just
"a years after the date on which the
biggest telegraphers' strike in history
was called"
