considering the fact that was the
originator and first promoter of the
sandstone paving business in this Sec
tion of the United States. and of the
further fact that am the only con-
tractor who fought for the validity
and constitutionality of the eight hour
law on all public works in this state,
/ don't at all like the demand Of
these men that we deny employment
to all who are not members Of their
union, especially as compliance with
such demand would necessitate che
refusal of employment to the sturdy
workers of this county. where our
quarries are located, unless they join
the union and submit to the dictation
Of nonresident agitators. The prop
osition brings as face to face with a
condition that may compel the con-
sideration of the Objectionable ques-
tion of Japanese immigration and en-
ployment. Standing shoulder to
shoulder in the past with labor unions
we are now compelled to reflect. for
the subject as now presented may
mean not only a burden upon our
selves but upon every municipal tax
payer.

The RudOw Trial

A very good report of the Rudow
trial at East Sound last week was re-
ceived by Fridays mail. after the pa
per was off the press. It was written
by q gentleman who was present
throughout the trial and who could
have no possible object in misrepre-
senting any feature of the case. He
says in his report: "The testimony
was general whitewash. Mr.. Gar
rett could not get ANYTHING out Of the
witnesses as to date or any evidence
relating to what Mr.. Rudow had said
on the streets of Friday Harbor. Mr..
Garrett's opinion is that he could not
convict on the Sunday closing law in
East Sound. The general opinion
here is that going into store and
locking the door and selling a few ar
ticles to accommodate customer is
not transgression Of the law and not
the meaning of the law. We do not
intend to make our people unhappy
or let them starve on the small outly-
ing islands where they are often storm
bound during the winter season for
several days. The jury WAS fairly
representative Of the people. who do
not approve Of the general opening Of
the stores for business on Sunday or
the setting ont of samples. "

the Democratic candidates have the
odds in their favor so far as the
support of the laboring classes is
concerned.
The approval of President Comp
ers stand is politically an indorse-
ment of Mr.. Bryan.
According to Mr.. Pearson the lab
oring classes are more interested in
Mr.. Bryan securing state legislatures
that will enact fair and just laws af-
fecting the workingmen and in secur-
ing supreme court justices who will
be fair and just in their decisions,
than in any other political struggles.
All we are asking for and all we
can expect is that unbiased and just
men will be nominated for legislative
and judicial Offices" commented Mr..
Pearson.
The political committee of the
state organization will make a care
ful investigation as to the past rec
ords of the various candidates on the
various tickets, and the men whose
records stand the light best will be
recommended for the support of the
laboring men, irrespective of what
party those men may be allied with.
No candidate will be supported on
the strength of his promises if his
past record is not satisfactory.
The political committees make rec
ommendation to the state and local
organizations of the federation and
the members are advised to support
the men who are recommended still
no individual member is pledged or
bound to support any candidate. the
organization gives him the untram-
meled right to vote as he pleases.

ure in Colorado and in many other

ton.

Mr.. Pearson, who as announced by
The Sentinel Saturday, was elected
tenth vice president of the
state organization, sta:es that the
convention was made up of level
headed, representative laboring men
from all sections of the state He
states that the efforts of his enemies
to blacken the record of President
Hally and prevent his reelection,
were unavailable and had but little
real foundation. president Hally's
annual report" said Mr.. Pearson,
shows that he has done good work
in the interest of the organization
and his administration has been ef-
fective, economical and creditable."
Mr.. Pearson declares that the op-
position to Hally was not as strong as
many OF the papers would lead the
people to believe.
discussing the political features of
the convention Mr.. Pearson stated
that many people are laboring under
a misapprehension when they believe
that the state organization has com
pletely pledged itself to the support
of certain party. This is a mis-
take" said Mr.. Pearson, "our con-
stitution does not permit us to bind
ourselves as an organization to one
political party. Neither the state
nor the local organizations can do so.
But we are always anxious to sup
port the men whom we believe will
give the interests of labor a square
and fair deal. We arc -or the men
and not for the party. We may sup
port more candidates on one ticket
than on another ticket but it will
be because those candidates are in
our opinion fairer and better men,"

YOUNG MEN
GET PLACES

Thirty-nine young graduates of
mine American forest schools have
lately received appointments as for
est assistants in the forest service
and, have been assigned to positions
for the present field season.
The new appointees are drawn
from the various forest schools as
follows: Yale, IS; Biltmore, 5: I'm
iversity of Minnesota, A.; University
of Michigan, 4 : Michigan Agricultur-
al College, 3; Harvard, 2; Cornell / :
University of Iowa. /, and University
of Nebraska, |.
They have secured their appoint
ments as result of passing the reg
ular civil service examination, which
is the only avenue to employment as
a forester under the government.
In addition to these graduates of
forest schools, fifteen other candi-
dates passed the examination.
Twenty-Five of the new appointees
are already at work on various ma
tional forests, taking part in their
administration, and seventeen have
been assigned to different projects
connected with the technical study
of silviculture. Forest assistants are
men who have completed their pre-
of forestry, as the graduates of law
theirs, and are ready TO enter on
practical work. Until they have
gained experience in their work, how
ever their positions are necessarily
subordinate. They are at the foot
of the ladder, and must prove their
fitness in order to mount higher. The
government pays them 81 900 a year
at the start.
On the national forests the forest
assistant often acts as adviser TO the
supervisors in charge, who are west
ern men experienced in all practi-
cal matters, but usually without any
school training in the science of for
estry. Or they may be assigned to
the study of some particular problem
which needs to be investigated in the
interest of good forest management.
AS forestry means knowing how to
get the most out cf any given piece
of forest land. ii calls for studies and
experiments, both scientific and prac-
steal, much like those which have to
be made in the interest of good farm
management. and the forest assistant
is prepared 10 do valuable work along
this line
There is a growing interest in thu
profession of forestry now. and many
young men are asking how to get
INTO it and what it promises.

MANY ARE

John L. Osborne. former governor
of Wyoming, who is in charge of tn e

tion ceremonies, @rd has resumed
the active work OF the campaign. He
brings hopeful tidings from the great
gathering, at which were present
leaders from all sections.
In the opinion of prominent demo-
Gratis, New York. to which all politl-
cal eyes are turned. is going to give
its vote to Bryan, and the leading
members of the party in Ohio. IlE-
nois and Indiana express the belief
that all those states will go demo-
cratic.
Bryan is receiving hundreds of
letters every day, Offering support
from unexpected. sources. Those
close to Bryan are enthusiastic over
the prospect of his election. and be-
lieve the republican leaders have
minimized the strength Of the Fair
view statesman with the common
people of the country.
This, it is claimed, is best illus
trated by the large number of volun-
tary contributions coming in small
sums from voters, and which are be-
ginning to aggregate sum much
larger than expected at this stage
of the game.
The question of the leader takin 9
the stump is still in the air, and
while it is known that Bryan will
make at least four speeches, it has
not definitely been determined as to
any ether meeting to be addressed
by him. Requests have been made
by the organization in every state
for the presence of the distin guishsi
orator, but Bryan seoms disposed to
follow the suggestions OF the national
committee, and, as Chairman Mack
is on his way now to New York City
to resume work at national head
quarters, the question of Bryan's itin-
erary will probably not be determ-
ined until next week.
