Cripple Creek Too Quiet.
Orchard said that at the time Haywood
told him to pull off something in Grip
pie Creek, because he was afraid there
might be a split up in the miners con-
VentiOn unless something was done, things
were very quiet in Cripple Creek, and the
union had sent a committee to the gov
ernor to urge that there was no further
need for the troops.
Now. then" the attorney went on.
ARE you sure that Haywood did not say
there was likely to be a split in the Mine
Owners association and that the mine
owners would have to do something if
they wanted to retain the militia?'
Orchard declared he remembered moth
ing of the kind.

'At the time of the Independence de-
pot explosion weren't you having some re-

Did you ever talk to A. E. Cariton?"
Orchard said he had spoken once to
Carlton, who was an official of the Mine

that he could pass the militia without
trouble in Cripple Creek. Orchard replied
that there were many union men who had
done tie same thing.

At this point Orchard created some

of arson to his long list of nlisdeeds. He

not in any way change physical con-
ditions nor give to the roads any
abilities they did not before possess.
The different roads were fully aware
of the seriousness of the fuel famine;
they we'll knew that severe blizzard,
such as the territory mentioned is sub
ject to, would have caused unquestion-
ed suffering and perhaps some loss of
life. While we are not of those
who condemn railroad companies SIM
ply because they are railroad companies
regardless Of the right or wrong of
their acts; while we have no desire to
unduly influence the public mind
against any or all public service cor
porations, we do desire to say that the
attitude of the railroads in this fuel
famine matter is deserving of the
severest criticism. Judged by their
acts alone we should say they seem
determined to justify any criticism the
people can make, and the people have
not yet forgotten what Vanderbilt said
about them: "The public be damned. "

The present agitation concerning GER
tain members of the city police force
leads us to call the attention of the
incoming city administration to the
wisdom of separating the Offices of
engineer and chief of police. To us,
and to many who have expressed them
selves to us on this question, the
present arrangement seems most nom
sensical. In what way are the duties
of city engineer in any way analogous
to those of a police official? Our sister
town of Odessa long ago seen the
folly of expecting the town engineer,
who was almost constantly employed
with the town water system, to also
look after the peace of the town. A
town the size of Ritzville needs, and
ought to have, a well equipped police
force with man at their head who is
actually on duty and in charge. We
are not finding fault, in this article,
with men or officials, but with the
system under which they are trying to
work. 1t seems to us that it would be
about as sensible to expect the super
intendent of the city schools, for
instance, to also have charge of the
police force of the city, as to unload
this burden on to the man whose hands
are, and will be, more than full looking
after the city water system.

Senator Hepburn of Idaho has intro
duced a bill in the United States SEN
ate amending the interstate commerce
act, which now permits transportation
companies to charge more for a short
inland haul than for a long distance
water terminal haul. Senator Hey
burns bill would afford relief to the
cities of the northwest, sSs,: such lis Boise,
Butte, Spokane and other non-termifiaall
points, against which the railroads
have been discriminating. The bill
reads; "It shall be unlawful for any
common carrier, subject to the pro-
visions of this act, to charge or receive
any greater compensation for the
transportation of passengers or of like
kinds of property for shorter than
for longer distance over the same
line in the same direction, the shorter
being included within the longer dis
lance; but this shall not be construed
as authorizing any common carrier
within the terms of this act to charge
or to receive as great compensation
for shorter than longer distance.
The result of the present system is
certainly centrifugal in it's action
throwing the business from the center
to the rim of the country under con-
ditions unjust to the producing centers
of the country.

Why NOT ELECT Them?

Now that the enactment by the legis-
lature of Thoroughly effective primary
election law seems assured, the coroll-
airy of this progressive step should be
the substitution of the elective for the
appointive method in the case of all
officers performing mixed executive and
administrative duties.
A movement to this end would carry
the purpose of the direct primary law
to its logical limit-the determination
of bossism and of machine" and "ring"
evils.
The proposed reform would compre-
bend the tax, railroad, insurance, labor
and highway commissioners. The func-
tions of these offices require in the oc-
cupants special fitness, and in filling
them political considerations should
have no weight. The appointive power
is unavoidably influenced by intrigue,
personal ambition, local pressure and
sycophancy.
The delegated power to appoint state
officers of such Importance and author
ity in the operations of government con-
veys with it the means of creating a
state machine that might subvert the
intent of the primary election law, and
prolong an administration that was
weak, inefficient and conniving.
With the growing and resistless need
of distributing the executive functions
of government, several states have
placed these officers in the elective list,
with excellent results. 1t has been de-
termined at the polls, even in the con-
vention nominations, that the people
are quick to appreciate capacity and
the merit of the work done by depart
ment commissioners. In the land de-
partment we have an elective commits
sioner as precedent for legislative
action in the premises.
The expediency of making the change
at the approaching session is a subject
the legislative constituencies should
bring up for discussion with their rep
resentatives without delay. The coun-
try press, which has proved an invalu-
able aid in promoting and taking out
of politics the primary election move
ment, may be depended upon to put a
strong and willing shoulder to the
wheel in order to complete the splendid
work already accomplished. Post In
telligencer.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SKATERS
ANOTHER PRECEDENT"

In contributing to the Woman's Home
Companion for January signed state
ment setting forth his official views on
the child labor question during session
of congress that will legislate on the
subject, the president has given another
well-deserved shock to the lovers of
presidential precedent" He says:
81 am glad to have you give the wild
est publicity to my previous utterances
on Child Labor. shall again make
reference to the question in my mes
sage to the second session of the 59th
congress. am pleased to go on rec
ord in the strongest possible terms as
in favor of stringent legislation by both
state and national legislatures, for the
purpose of doing away with the evils
of Child Labor. believe that the re-
cent action of the legislature of Geor-
gia, state which leads the New South
industrially, in placing on it's statute
books child labor law which contem-
plates the gradual adoption of stand
ard approximating that of the best
legislation either north or south, makes
it now incumbent on congress to pro-
vide an adequate Child Labor law for
the District of Columbia and the terri
tories. With the single exception of
Nevada, the District of Columbia and
the territories are the only commune
ties which have no legislation at all on
this subject. Suitable action by con-
gress for the area over which it has
exclusive jurisdiction will speedily bring
those states where protection for chill
dren is inadequate or merely nominal
to realization of their duty to improve
their legislation and to render it's en-
forcement effective. Our American
civilization will then be free from the
charge of exploiting it's helpless chill
dren for gain; and greed, whether it be
that of employer or that of selfish and
Indifferent parents, will be justly re-
strained.

The United States Senate seems to
have gotten about all the information
it asked for with reference to the dis
charge, without HONOR" Of those COL
ored soldiers. 1t keeps the staid old
out-of-date Senate pretty busy these
days trying to trip up the president;
and they want the people to pay them
more salary for doing it, too. Well
hardly. When the Senate makes up
it's mind to follow the lead of President
Roosevelt, as the House has done, and
really legislates for the good of the
country and enacts into law the
reforms which the times and the
people demand; when the Senate shows
it's willingness to do this it will be
time enough then to ask for larger sal
aries. The fact is, great many peo-
pie firmly believe that many Senators
are now actually drawing much larger
salaries than Uncle Sam is paying
them.
