quired to pay the same as those OF

per month. 1t is Thought thn, one
half OF this amount might be ap.
proy,ria,ed to the maintainance OF n
hospital right here in town. The
independent companys here are
now paying something like $500 a
month and the probabilities are
that this amount will be more than
doubled within the next two years

coming from the company by whom
he has been employed. 1t is hoped
that the independent cCmpanys

At n point above the timber a

WOODEN PIPE
DEAL KILLED

Following out the policy which
the city council has assumed late
ly of not buying up any more wood
en- pipe installed in additions,
Mayor Moore yesterday vetoed an
ordinance whereby the council
authorized the purchase of pipe for
$3.50 which Fred Grinnell put in
on Seventeenth av. between Perry
and Ivory SITS. In all probability
hereafter the council will not allow
any more wooden pipe to be In
stalled. All of it that has been
bought by the city has been found
to be in such poor condition as to
be almost worthless. The result
has been that after the city made
the deal it was found cheaper to
take up the wooden pipe and put
in iron pipe instead.
The Grinnell pipe may be pur-
chased later on, as the city had
agreed to take it, but it will not
be purchased at any such price as
asked if the mayor knows anything
about it.

BARS RAISED
To PEOOLERS

There's great JOY in the camps
of the peddlers. The banana man
and the orange and apple man, to-
day are gleeful at the anger OF
storekeepers in general. Several
months ago the city council pass.
ed an ordinance extending the
limits within which peddlers must
not ply their trade. But it seems
that the slothful council failed to
provide a penalty and therefore the
ordinance is worthless as protec.
ton to the small grocers who have
stores on the outskirts of the big
retail district. The ordinance was
an lily planned thing, anyway, and
included within the peddling linn
its every small store, almost, with
in the city limits.
The original peddling ordinance,
which carries penalty of from
81 to $25 fine, places the limits at
from the river south to the south
line of Second av., and from the
east line of Division st. to the west
line of Monroe ST.
Chief Rice, after a conference
with Assistant Corporation Counsel
Rhodes, this morning issued an or
der to his force that peddlers must
not hereafter be molested so long
as they keep without the limits of
the old ordinance.

BILL LOST A new LID

If you want to get a gentle reply
out of Photographer Bill" Lewis
of the police department, don't
touch on the subject of straight.
Jackets. Last night Bill was one
of the local force who went upon
the stage and accepted Hardeen's
challenge. Bill was loaded with a
gunnysack containing the straight
jacket. And he superintendent ty-
ing Harden into it. Those who
saw the show will admit that from
the manner in which Bill put his
knee against Hardeen's neck and
pulled, and pulled, to get the straps
tight, he was sincere and had a mo-
tive.
You see, Bill bet Henry Snamiska
a hat that Harden couldn't get out
of the straightjacket. Well, it was
tough job all right, but the feat
was accomplished and in the &C
complishment Bill lost IS sky
piece.
Now if you want to pick a quar-
rel with Bill it won't be necessary
to call him names or anything. but
just say the word straightjacket.

ONE MAN WHO TOLD
TRUTH ABOUT CANNON
TO SPEAKERS FACE

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.
twenty-five thousand copies of the
speech of Representative Dorsey
w. Shackleford, of Missouri, who,
on the floor of the house told
Speaker Cannon to his face of the
representation the people were not
receiving, have been distributed.
One million copies, Mr. Shackleford
declares, will be sent out during the
coming campaign.
Here is what Mr.. Shackleford
said:
AT the beginning of the fifty
sixth congress | introduced a bill
here providing for the abolition of
the duty on wood pulp and printing
paper. Some others introduced the
same bill. | have introduced it in
every congress from that day to
this. Where is it? 1t is down In a
pigeonhole, in the ways and means
committee room, presided over by
the genii that have been selected
by this autocrat (the speaker) to
see that all who enter there leave
hop behind. Laughter.} This man
tells us that a majority here Got
this Eouse) cannot pass a measure
which he disapproves without we
first expel him from office. This
one man is stronger than a two
thirds majority Of the house.
"Mr. Busbey (the speakers con-
fidential secretary tells us OF a
bill supported by three-fourths OF
the members of the house which
never got off the speakers table
and died with the session.
ooh, Mr.. Chairman. what a
morgue is that speaker stable! I
call upon the American people to
come up to that morgue and view
their dead (Applause.)
THE speaker is an illustrious
disciple of Alexander Hamilton.
The Hamilton view of government
was for the classes, and that the
only hope for the masses was that
by thrift some of them might ac-
cumulate enough wealth to be adj
mitteI to the classes.
MI. SIdii mai, INC oPConOi has
overthrow the peoples govern
ment and erected upon it's throne
an autocracy more absolute in its
despotism than exists in any
monarchy in Europe.
1--WE have injunctions in the
state of Missouri. In the state OF
Missouri we passed law to regu-
late freight and passenger rates
Where is that law? For two years
it has been held up by injunctions
issued by a federal judge who came
from up in Iowa.
Zone man from another state
comes into our state and at one fell
swoop restraints every officer of our
state from enforcing law that has
been deliberately worKel out by
their people and representatives
"This house is ready to limit the
tyrannical power of the courts
Give us q chance to d. it. Mr.
Chairman. If 1t is done, the re
sponsibility will not be upon YOU

These are the men behind the
shovels."
The sooted, firm jawed fighting
men OF the sitting stokehole.
Fighting men?
Yes; and of rarest courage.
In time of action, deep down be-
low the water line in a veritable
Inferno OF seething furnaces, with
no chance of escape in case of a
sudden disaster, they fight" with
their sweat-wetted shovels to keep
life" In the ship.
The pulse beats of the great
throbbing engines which make of
each OF these ponjerous piles of
gun-studded steel a potential living
thing are timed to the swings of
their shovels.
The station In fire rooms Is not
as picturesque as post on bridge,
In turret or barbette or fighting top.
but more perilous.
The fiery breath of a furnace has
not the martial odor OF gun smoke.
but II is the breath of the living
ship.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-05-05

A shovel has not the military
lines of rife, machine or turret
gun, but in this day of fighting ma
chine shops it is one of the most
valuable weapons aboard ship
And the man who swings it is a
lighting man, superior in the cour-
age of the man who can stand fire,
with the privilege of hitting back"
denied him.
Approaching the sublime is the
courage of the man who watches
with unfiinching nerve the iron
matches being closed above him,
which makes his station as a sealed
vault of Hades.
No escape in case mine or tor.
pedo rips out the bottom of the
ship.
A fearful death if shell comes
tearing through that maze of dead
ly steam pipes overhead.
And yet the hero of the stoke
hole Is unsung.
But few know him.
Those who do-touch their hats.
