600 the unemployed voter might

Every woman worker, il she had
$4,000, might rejoice when the

OF us could meet sickness, unem
ployment and old age with smiI.
ing faces. That would indeed be
prosperity and our hearts might
well be glad.
But the trouble. our Republican
friends, is that the workers who
produced that vast wealth have
not got that wealth.

We ask you who produced this
enormous wealth, and then we
ask you who owns it,.
But you neen not answer. 1t
would embarrass you.
III any case we are mindful of
that choice little bit Of irony-that
when the great Republican party

porous pastime- of begging for
freedom and justice for the wage

strike a few years back when they
strnck for better wages; still filling
the same positions they filled i'm
Carnegle's time, we grope our way
through its darkne to those same
cabins built by Carnegie: is there
a carpet on the floor or a piano in
the parlor, no. nor is there a
parlor to contain any such things
they are the same cabins where
life is eked out in the same old
way.
Where is the evidence that these
men have received any benefits
from protection to American in
duSrrles or protection to American
labor; they receive only such
wages as organized labor forced
the employers to pay. Protection
has been a boon to the proprietors
of these mill but not to the labor
erS nor to any one else but has
been the means of high prices to
the consumers of iron and steel.
The republican party leaders are
still trying to play their same old
deceptive phrases, protection to
American labor but the people
have learned that tart fl is tax up
OH the consumers for the benefit
OF a few and without remuneration
to the deserving class: that it is
broader of trusts and monopoly
and results in robbery and they
will be no longer deceived by such
high sounding ear. tickling ex.
presSions intended only to mis-
lead them.
Despite the vast fortunes piled
up by those tariff protected manu-
tacturerS as shOwn.in the example
OF Mr.. Carnegie we are told that

MAYOR VET0ES
ORDINANCES

Mayor Moore took advantage
of his veto privilege twice on Sa-
turday, the first occasion since he
was inaugurated He vetoed Or
dinance 1869 confirming the as
sessment roll for grading, curbing
and parking Cedar st. from the
south line of Fourteenth av. to the
center line of Twentieth av. for the
reason that the plans as now pre-
pared place the sidewalk up to and
against the curbing, thereby throw
ing the sidewalk out of line with
that part of Cedar st. already
graded. Property owners desire
that the street should be graded so
as to conform to the other graded
portion.
The other veto was ordinance
1870, confirming the assessment
roll for sidewalking Cedar st. for
the same distance for the same rea-
son he vetoed the other ordinance.

INSANE NEGRO TAKES
WOMAN'S LIFE

NORTH YAKIMA, March 49,
M. Moore, an insane negro, yester-
day shot and killed Mrs. L. V. Nc
Coy, a mulatto woman. The muir
derer then drank carbolic acid and
ran to the courthouse, where he
died on the floor. Mrs. Mccoy had
taken an interest in Moore while
she was conducting a mission here,
and had frequently helped him out
of trouble. Jealousy over her aap-
preaching marriage to another man
melted him to murderous frenzy.
He had previously threatened to
kill the whole family, but no pre-
cautions had been taken by the au-
thorities to restrain him. The muir
der was committed in Mrs. McCoy's
home.

DOCTORS BRING
DEAD BACK
To LIFE

PARIS, March 16.-ScientfAc
circles are greatly interested in the
report just made Of how life was
apparently recalled at Versailles
by three physicians, in young girl
supposed to be dead. Although the
patient was recalled to conscious
ness the attempt to keep her alive
failed.
The body of the girl was i'm
mersed in water subject to rhythmic
electrification. At intervals sui
phuric acid was added to the water.
One of the physicians also made
hypnotic passes before the face of
the patient.
After three hours treatment the
girl opened her eyes. She explain
ed her sensations and said it was as
If monsters fought for her. She
then became historical. In admin
istering morphine to quiet her too
large a dose was given and the
heart action ceased. Efforts to
again recall her to life were with
out avail.
