viii Ask for Authority to Order De-
moIition Of Ice House at the Grand
Avenue Crossing, Action Probably
Forcing Matter Into Courts for Fin.
al Settlement.

At the meeting of the council tonight
Mayor Spalding will ask that he be
given authority to proceed against the
railroad company for an alleged viola
tion of the city laws concerning the re
pairing of buildings damaged by fire.
He will state that the railroad com
pany asked permission to repair the
wooden ice house at the Grand avenue
crossing and was refused, the officials
Of the road afterward sending a force
of men to the city and making the re
pairs Sunday afternoon, without the
consent of the officers of the city. M.
Spalding is quite indignant about the
action. and is determined to push the
fight to the end. He believes the CON-
pany will seek to enjoin him from pro-
ceeding with the demolition of the
structure, and that will bring the mat.
ter into the district court, where the
constitutionality Of ordinance will be
tested.
Will Test The Law.
IF the law is unconstitutional" he
odiu, thc Oile VIC hhu II oul III
pass one that does conform to the or
ganic law the better of the city will be.
1t is evident that the decision in this
matter, IL the railroad company Sc
cures an injunction. will affect the
city's contention in the matter of Mrs.
Atkinson's petition, and / have asked
Mr.. Symons, the agent and attorney
for his mother, to keep his feet out
of the trough until the question has
been disposed of. If we cannot pre-
vent the railroad company from re-
pairing a building contrary to the ordi,
nance, we certainly cannot prevent
Mrs. Atkinson, and will not seek to.
There are other buildings that will be
affected by such a decision, and | am
anxious to have the whole thing dis
posed of so that we can get down to
the business of preventing the filling
up of the business district of the city
with wooden buildings, menacing the
safety Of every building in the bust
ness center"

between the city and the officers Of

MESSAGE IS SENT To

OOu
it is both wise and proper to endeavor
so far -as possible to minimize the
distress Of those who have been misled
by the guilty.
Honest Difference Of Opinion.
Yet it Is not possible to refrain be.
cause Of such distress from striving
to put an end to the misdeeds that are
the ultimate causes of the suffering,
and, as a means to this end, where
possible to punish those responsible
for them. There may be honest differ.
ences of opinion as to many govern
mental policies; but surely there can
be no differences as to the need of
unflinching perseverance in the war
against successful dishonesty.
Interatate Commerce.
No small part of the trouble that we
have comes from carrying to an ex.
ance, Of independence in initiative
and action. 1t is wise to conserve
this virtue and to provide for it's full
est exercise, compatible with seeing
that liberty does not become a liberty
to wrong others. Unfortunately, this
is the kind of liberty that the lack of
all effective regulation inevitably
breeds. The founders of the Consti-
tuition provided that the National Gov
eminent should have complete and
sole control OF interstate commerce.
There was then practically no inter
state business save such as was con
Quoted by water, and this the Nation
al government at once proceeded to
regulate In thoroughgoing and effective
fashion.

Conditions have now 80 wholly
changed that the interstate commerce
by wAter Is Insignificant compared with
the amount that goes by land, n al
most all big business are now
engaged In interstate commerce. AS
. result, 1t can be but partially and
im~perfectly controlled or regulated BY
the action of any one OF the severs.

case he worked harder than he ever
believed It possible FOR him TO work.
Throughout the trial he scarcely ate
or slept When Haywood was acquit-

a short rest His health was broken
and he suffered from the excitement
of the last moments OF the trial. He
wrote a letter to Golfers defending
his position az Boise. He denied that
his utterances were anarchistic. and
declared that IL was unjust for his
critics to base their diagnosis on his
speech on scant quotations OF a $4,000
word address, printed in the news
papers.
Then another blow caught him. After
Haywood's acquittal, Darrow advised
him TO seek retirement for a time. In
stead Haywood sought the limelight OF
martyrdom While he was in Chicago,
Haywood never called on Darrow The
slight was too persistent 70 have re-

SCARED aioft until the percentage has

milk and butter until you pull down the
price Of feed. We ay s3i for bran when
I know that It was bought for less than

bought at $40 are now seinng q S55 and
