Francis Joseph, tho aged Emperor

Archbishop Patrick j. Ryan. of
Philadelphia is as famous as he is

"Nill congress take steps to throw

serves?'i
In my judgment congress will take
steps to have the existing forest re-
serve case fully examined, for the
purpose Of determining what lands
should be retained as forest reserves.
and those which should be opened for
settlement and purchase. Proper
laws will then be enacted which will
carry out a policy which will open
the largest possible areas OF these
lands for settlement.
So far as am concerned l shall do
what ] can to put the government out
OF business In competition with indi-
vidual enterprise. do not believe
the government was formed for the
purpose of engaging in business en-
terprise, further than is necessary to
carry on strictly governmental func-
tions. The government should make
the resources of the country availa-
bic to its citizens through individual
enterprise, safely guarded against
monopoly. combinations, trusts, or
conditions, that would enable one
part of a community to Cypress an
other.
1t should not be forgotten that the
people of this country constitute the
government, and that the rights of all
people ale equal, whether in, or out
of office, and that the laws the only
power of government, and the law
cannot exist because of the policy of
any man, but only because of the
legislative will of the people. 1t lie

Senator Hepburn was asked under
which condition the big lumberman
had the greatest advantage, at present
or when the reserves are rot in exist
ence. He told a parable which when
interpreted would carry the convic-
tion that under the forest reserve
policy the big fellows have a mon
opoly because the supply is cut off
and they now own the most of that
available. In other words the big
fellows have it all their own way
now, to which the senator objects.

SHERWOOD'S

b. w. Sherwood, chairman of The
strike committee of the Electri cal
Workers, recently employed by the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone COM
pany, stated today:
In anwser to an article ia last ey
ening's Press, pertaining to contracts
between the Bell Telephone company
and |. B. Electric Workers, would
like to say that about Sept. I5,
1906, l was one of a committee of
five Electrical workers to draft new
outside working rules and bylaws,
governing the Electrical Workers of
local union number 219 of Boise,
Idaho, under whose jurisdiction men
in Occur d'Alene are working. The
matter of renewing the contract with
the Bell company was brought up
aud the secretary was instructed to
serve written notice on the Bell com
pany that after Dec. 4, 1906 the ex.
piration of our agreement with the
Bell, would be null aud void, which
was done, and carbon co oies of TIE
same kept.
In regard to the nonfulfllment of
such contracts by the Electrical
Workers and Bell company, the Bell
company has violated these agreements
from the date of their signing until
their expiration.
These contracts specified the scale
Of wages for Journeymen and appren-
tices, hours of work and pay for over
time, Sunday and holidays, and scale
for monthly men and in no case was
more than one apprentice allowed to
every four journeymen. When ap.
pTentices were permitted to work as
journeymen, generally trouble work,
they were to receive $50 per month,
journeymen lineman's scale and SO
cents per hour for over time and ex.
penses out Of town.
l have worked on different esti.
mates where there we're from three to
six apprentices to one iournsyman
and where q complaint was made the
man was discharged for some fictio-
ious reason.
This was In practice when | first
came to Occur d'Alene and had bee q
for several years prior. -
Superintendent K. T.. Hart, Of the
Bell Telephone company, stated in
this connection:
The people Of Occur d'Alene are
not especially interested In the de
tails Of what led up to the strike nor
do they care what has been done in
the past, or what is nov going on In
the State Of Montana; what they
want here lie service and the quicker
our company will resume active
operations on construction and re
pair work the better 1t will suit them.

SpOkane's Sham Reform BOOmIet
Peters Out

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE
city council, by vote OF Z 20 three,
passed the ordinance last night
amending the anti-pool room law SO
that pools may DO sold during the
interstate fair, and Acting Mayor N.
S. Pratt announced that be would
sign the new ordinance, probably TO-
day.
By the action of the council the
Interstate fair IL assured, and with
that assurance goes the certainty
that the attractions will be on a
splendid scale and the racing pro-
gram at the fair will include the
fastest horses OF the Pacific coast cir
cult, and large strinRs. A large
delegation Of merchants aud business
men interested in the fair and the
commercial interests Of the city were
present and applauded the act OF the
council, although, from the rear Of
the room applauses was also given
Councilman Leonard Funk when he
announced that he would have to
oppose changing the ordinance be
cause his constituents had met and
asked him not TO change the Law
prohibiting pool selling altogether
in this city, making no exception Of
the pools at the fair during the two
weeks that the fair is to last.
The vote ON the amended ordinance
was as follows:
yes-BFown, Gray, Baldwin, Lam
bert, Estep, Phillips and Pratt;
noes-Funk, Laumer and Dalke.
Members of the chamber of com
merce, merchants and others hoping
that the council would amend the
ordinance go as to permit pool sell
ing at the interstate fair worked on
the councilmen until the last minute
before the evening session began.
Similar work on the counoilmen was
carried on Monday night, and, while,
1t was believed that enough men,
bers had weakened to secure the
passage Of the ordinance there was
constant fear that some who had in
dicated that they would support the
amendment would weaken and change
their minds at the last minute.
Some Of the councilmen we're beset
on the one hand by those who desired
the pool selling at the fair and
others besought them With almost
equal earnestness not TO change the
prohibiting pool selling
altogether.
Councilman N. s. Pratt, father
of the original poolroom ordinance,
prohibiting pool selling In the city,
excepting at the fair, has favored the
wishes Of the fair promoters at all
times. Had his ordinance been
passed as drawn there would have
been no trouble over racing at the
lair. For this reason, Mr.. Pratt
