platform was crowded with a throng
of idle men down to 'see the train
in" As they waited the train stopped
at point near the Portland cement
works, half a mile down the line, and
20 men go off. These men came to Salt
Lake to work in the local shops, which
have been practically deserted since u
strike of shopmen was called. 1t comes
from authoritative source that THESE
men are not strike breakers" in the
ordinary sense of the word They are
said TO have been promised permanent
work and not having union scruples or
beliefs, were willing to accept employ
ment without asking any questioning.

whatever are being made by the
strikers, and the present trouble so
far has been enc of the most orderly
Imaginable. The depot supervisors
say the strikers are keeping away, so
no trouble OF the slightest nature is
anticipated. A member of the strik-

that every man was commit

TURKEYS MONROE DOCTRINE.

The young Turks who are at present
running things in the Ottoman en-
pire, by pressure on the nerve centers
of the much and variously terrified
sultan, are strongly opposed to outside
reformers taking a hand in the i'm
provement of conditions in Macedonia.
That portion of the Ottoman dominion
has been more frequently reformed
than any other part of Europe, and
probably needs more reforming-on
the plan of the square deal-than any
other. but the young Turks do not
favor having Great Britain and Rus
STA apply the needed remedy to the
conditions there. Such being the case
1t would seem that the responsibility
for settling the chronic trouble in
Macedonia rests with them.
1t is a. case very much like this
country's self-imposed responsibility
in South America. The Monroe Doc
trine was adopted by the United States
as a defensive measure-to keep
European nations out of crosse proxim-
ity to this country's southern borders.
1t has served in part as a protection
to lawless republics in South and Cen
trail America, and put upon the United
States the duty of keeping them in
order, seeing that this country will not
let the Old World powers do it.
If the young Turks apply their Mon
roe Doctrine in the case of Macedonia
with as much success generally as has
attended the efforts of the United
States in South America for the past
eighty-five years, however, there will
be little carping at occasional lapses
like that of Venezuela, where a petty
despot at present defies the civilized
world. But he probably will soon get
the spanking he deserves.

But there won't be time." objected
the girl.

suggested Tom. THAT tasted better
than fruit cake a while ago-with you

grateful to the car company"

some advice to politicians: Stay away
from Charlie Falk, who lives north
of town. As stated in last night
Globe, one of Mr.. Falks horses fell
into a ditch yesterday and was in
stantly killed. Falk was trustee of
Shannon township, and although he
was swamped with farm work, had to
attend to his political duties as trus-
tee; and while he was away his horse
broke it's neck. 1t made him so mad
to lose a valuable horse and days
work to accommodate the politicians
that he drove into town this morning
and resigned his position as trustee,
and in the future intends to attend to
his own affairs and let the politicians
alone An Atchison contractor who
heard Mr.. Falk's story said that poll

three days, and, as a result, he will
probably fail to fill a contract, and ev-
cry day lost on it will cost him $40 a

nection with the trouble caused by pol
iticians: Last night a North Atchison
colored man, who is usually sober and
industrious, and whose wife takes in
washing, came home drunk: He had
been helping the politicians for two
days. He began talking big to his
wife about what he had done, and she
grabbed up a stick and hit him over
the head, saying: Shut up, fool, all
you've done is to get drunk.
