times, with 30 days of starvation, beg
ging or stealing. Let a factory smut
down. What becomes of the men
They naturally seek other factories
It would only be natural that they seek
enplovnent in those factories of the
same kind. first in their own town,
then in other towns. Here is where
the working man leaves off and the
hobo begins. Somewhere at some flu
ture time. he gets another job Here Is
where the hobo ceases and the work
ing man begins.
If it were true that all hobos never
work then Coxey's army must have
died suddenly some years ago to be
suddenly resurrected in the fall Of 1907.
But the remedy proposed is an
astounding one: Compel them to WORK
If a man has no funds and among
strangers, put him on the rock pile
make him work" shout the editors up
and down the state.
This is notice to every working man
not to give up his job, no matter how
undesirable it may be, under penalty
of the rock pile
EMPLOYERS Of labor could use this to
their own advantage in dealing with
their men, It would be easy to say to
the dissatisfied ones, Take this or the
rock pile"
By compelling all men to work all
the time. employers need never want
for men, and get them at their own
price, too.
If you are going to compel man to
work you should compel some one to
hire him The rock pile should be just
as big and the rocks just as hard for
the man who refuses to hire man as
for the man who refuses to work when
work is offered him.
The objection that the hobo is
parasite comes with poor grace from
many who make that objection
True. the hobo renders but little to
society, but he also takes but little.
While in Portland you have many fine
haired parasites who render nothing
to society and take a great deal AS
an incubus and a blotch on society,
they have the hobo beaten a mile or
more.
1t is easy for those with a good job
and whose intestines know the joys of
"blotch" Just attack the blotch. It is
easy, it requires no mental effort. Dis
cussing the hobo as an effect result
OF another incubus, requires some
mental strain. The editors UP the val
ley therefore should not try it.

THAT ROOT CAES.

The proposal that Judge Milo Root,
who recently retired from the supreme
bench because of the scandal growing
out of his intimacy with a Great
Northern attorney, to qualify next
month for the six-year term to which
he was elected, has raised storm Of
protest in every section of the state.
The Spokesman Review quotes from
the petitions requesting Judge Root to
get back on the bench, in which this
statement is used:
"A terrific war is now on between
the forces of good and evil in American
politics, and while many good men
will be driven to the wall, it behooves
US all to remain at our posts"
Continuing the Review says:
"a noble sentiment that, to be
dragged into the silly petition which
fool friends are said to be signing as
an appeal to Judge Root to qualify
for the six-year term to which he was
elected before the voters had an init
nation Of his astounding relations
with NJ. ]. Gordon.
1T is a sentiment one would expect
to find in a letter from Theodore
Roosevelt to Heney, Folk or Governor
Hughes. But when applied to a su-
preme court judge who has by his
confessions admitted his unfitness for
any position Of public trust, its appli-
cation creates Indignation and disgust
Root has done his share of foolish
acts, but it can hardly be thought that
he will cap his previous follies with
this greater folly of attempting to
force himself for six years more on
the supreme bench Of this state.
attorney NJ J. Gordon, of the Great
Northern wrote at least one of Roots
supreme court decisions A Seattle
editor is said to have written Roots
hySterical res gnatiOn. Some curiosity
will not be felt as to the authorship
Of the amazing petition which gravely
urges him in the cause of exalted JUS
tice and upright and shining constrIc-
ton Of the laws, to take a new grip
on himself and try for six years more
Of his friendly indiscretions' with
railroad attorneys and humiliating
jackpots.
IF Judge Root should act upon that
reckless and foolish counsel he would
be regarded by the people as a fit sub
jet for a judicial inquiry into his
sanity"
The Tacoma Forum is a little more
radical in its discussion of the case.
1t says:
IF Judge Root is to again resume
his seat upon the bench, when does
civic pride get a hearing? There is a
portion of the press in this state that
Is free and untrammeled; it is up to
them to drive Root from the bench or
compel him to ask for a grand jury
so that he may be entirely
free from the tongues of scandal
I'm his resignation to the governor
he claimed to be a sick man; he has
recovered sufficiently apparently in
a few short weeks to again try to force
his presence on a bench he has
dragged to disgrace, and by the aid of
the large corporate interests, a white
washing committee of the bar associa-
ton and the Wilson p erkins press he
expects to again try to sit in a seat
of the mighty, to the end, perhaps,
that he. may again serve his masters.
"Will the citizenship of Washington
stand idly by and permit such a
course of procedure? The future will
have to answer this Question"

There is no play in the language
which can match the record Of JEFF

portraying Washington Irving's genial

nual Report on the Crop.
In his annual report on the cotton
crop of 1907-0S, issued Thursday
night, Secretary Hester. of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, quotes
some very interesting figures in con-
nection with the shifting OF the seat
| of the American cotton milling in
dustry to the States OF the cotton
belt.
fIe says that these conditions have
been more in evidence during the
season just closed than ever before.
The consumption OF American cotton
in the South even under the most un-
favorable conditions having been in
round figures -,193,000, while the
North totalIed but 1,913,OOG or ~
600 bales less. In the increase in
the consumption of cotton Virginia
comes first Oklahoma second, ana
Georgia third.
Mr.. Hester's report OF crcp OF
different States is given as follows Ill

crease under 1906-01 Of 1,939,0l6
