are now investigating the operation


and effect of existing schedules.
In all tariff legislation the true prin
ciple Of protection is best maintained
by the imposition Of such duties as
will equal the difference between the
cost Of production at home and abroad
together with a reasonable profit to
American industries; and the benefits
that follow are best secured by the es-
Enlistment. Of maximum and mini
mum rates to be administered by the
president under limitations fixed in
the law.
Trusts.
The republican party passed the
Sherman antitrust law over democrat
ic opposition and enforced it after
democratic dereliction. 1t has been a
wholesome instrument for good in the
hands of a wise and fearless admin
istration. But experience has shown
that it's effectiveness can be stength-
ened and its real objects better at
tanned by such amendments as will
give to the federal government great
err supervision and control over, and
secure greater publicity in, the man
agement Of that class of interstate cor
porations having power and opportuni-
ty to effect monopOlies, and at tle
same time will not interfere with the
existence of associations among bust
ness men, farmers, and wage earners
81 LONG as their conduct or operation
results in a paative benefit to the
public.
Railroad Legislation.
We approve the enactment OF a rail
road rate law and a vigorous enforce
ment of the present administration OF
the statutes against rebates and dis
elimination, as result Of which the
advantages formerly possessed by the
large over the small shipper have sub
stantially disappeared. In this connec
ton we commend the appropriation OF
$3.50 900 by the present congress ID
order to enable the interstate com
merce commission to Thoroughly In
vestigate and give publicity to the ac-
counts of interstate roads.
Currency.
The republican party approves the
Aldrich- Vreeland currency bill. but
only as an emergency measure. We
declare for a thorough and new sys
tenn of currency laws that will be in
accord with the need of the times,
AMI which will be more adaptable 10
the demands of business and more
elastic in it's character as a circulating
medium.
Aims at Safety for the ToiIers.
The enactment in constitutional
form by the present session of con-
gress of the employers liability law;
the passage and enforcement of the
safety-appliance statutes as well as
the additional protection secured for
engine rs and firemen, the reduction
in tie hours Of laborers. trainmen and
railroad telegraphers; the successful
exercise of the powers of mediation
and arbitration between interstate rail
roads al their employees, and the
Law making a beginning in the policy
Of compensation of injured employees
of the government are among the
most commendable accomplishments
of the present administration. But

DOCTORS MISTAKES

their family physicians, suffering, as they

and in this way they present alike 10

PLACED IN JAIL
Fifteen Aliens, Alleged Partici-

Taken Into Custody.
CONSTABLE is IMPROVING
CONFISCATION RESULTS IN COL
LECTION OF. WEAPONS.

Fifteen of the Austrians, Greeks
Servians and other foreigners charged
with participating in the battle at
Garfield Friday night are under arrest
at the county Jail. There were no ia
talities, and Constable Ben Gully said
yesterday that he might have been
mistaken in believing his shot struck
the Austrian at whom he fired after he
had received a charge of shot in the
back. He came to ST. Marks hospital
where the leaden pellets which had not
been taken out by DR.. Bransford were
removed. His right arm has several
large holes-too large for shot similar
to those in the back-and Gully thinks
they were caused by revolver bullets.
When daylight came the sheriff's
force, under the direction of Chief
Criminal Deputy Joseph c. Sharp, who
has thorough knowledge of the ways
of the foreigners. with the assistance
of several men from the mills, made a
thorough search of the shacks for fire
arms and unearthed several shotguns
and revolvers. These were hidden in
all sorts of places, the swampy ground
near the foreign settlement giving am
pie opportunity to secrete the weapons
during the night.
The Austrian VINO was shot through
the leg is at st. Marks hospital and is
recovering.
The prisoners who are in custody are
Joe Miller, Joe OSSich, Joe Uzlich, Joe
Drakovich, Joe Zubrich, Joe Rupcic. Mike
Prpich. Mike Sockovich, Mike Subrella.
Mike Drokovich, Nike Tuonsevich. Pete
and Dan Zegich. Steve Savich and John

Flames Out of Control of the Men
Fighting Them and Great Dam
age Will Result.

Missoula. Mont. Aug. S.-Reports re-
ceived by the local bureau of the forest
service today were to the effect that the
fire which started at Taft a week ago had
broken from the control of the men fight
ing it and was burning with increasing
fury. A message from Supervisor Ehlers
Koch. who is directing the fire fighters.
said that the Taft fire had been aug
mented by confagration rolling up from
the Occur d Alene side of the national pre-
serve and that solid fire wall covered a
frontage of sixteen miles above and below
Saltese. The Monitor Mining company s
property is threatened, but all towns are
reported clear of the danger zone.
Another fire is reported from Lick
Creek. fifteen miles south of Hamilton. in
the Bitter Root valley. Supervisor White
and a force of rangers went from here to-
day TO attempt to subdue this fire. which
has already assumed threatening proper
tons.
Still another fire is reported from
O'Keefe's creek. Great volumes of smoke
from this latest fire are plainly visible
from Missoula. 1t is difficult to obtain
authentic reports from this district. but
the local officials believe that the blaze is
a dead one.
