The SWitChmen Strike

Tuesday, Nov. 30, at i p. IN. the N.
p. Switchmen from ST Paul to Puget
Sound went on a strike for higher
wages The freight trains are COM
pletey tied up. The passenger SER
vice is permitted to continue. If the
strike continues many days it will par
alize business. Thirty-five to forty
men are out. No demonstration has
been made by the switchmen, they are
quiet and determined, believing that
they are Justified in their action.
Deputy sheritf's and police officers
have the matter in hand and will pre-
vent any trouble, should anyone feel
disposed to attempt to create any dis
turbance. but no one understanding
the real situation is apprehenslve of
any trouble. 1t is to be hoped the
strike willsbe of short duration.

STANDPATTERS VS..
THE INSURGENTS

The following table, taken from
Golfers for August %, is given
here to show what influence one
man can have in a body of men
that are selected to represent the
people, especially when these men
are elected not by the people, but
by small bodies of men, and yet
we cannot point with pride to the
records of Piles and Jones in the
matter, even if the people did, in a
way, elect Jones themselves.
The record shows that Jones
voted with Aldrich 80 t mes
against him ten times and he failed
to vote either way thirty times.
Piles voted with Aldrich one
hundred three times, against him
seven times and failed to vote either
way nineteen times

change was brought about by the res

agent of the COMPANY. who found it
necessary to give up the work to look
after his large and growing> private
interests.

Mr.. Hennes, has been located at Bell

same company. and wrote "a large bust
ness for it.. To a reporter of The Dawn

Collier S Says

Mr.. Ballinger, when the issue
of his own integrity is presented
to him, talks about the whole
record at Washington, with
never a hint of anything that
can help explain his plight;
about changes in the law, an old
trick which formerly he has
worked at the moment when he
was doing his best to introduce
still faultier legislation and to
outwit what protective law we
had; about the Presidential
whitewash, well knowing that
Mr.. Taft's letter, full of absurd
errors in mere fact, was inflicted
on the Presidents trustful ma
ture by Ballinger and his allies;
about shreds of suspicion,
when strong evidence of his
gross unftness and treachery
have been presented, and. as he
well knows, more is in reserve.
And adds Mr.. Ballinger has
handed falsehoOds to the Presl-
dent, to his own associates, to
the people of the United States.
He has worked hard to reach
editors, and fill them with ire
levant common places, confusing
only to those ignorant OF the
facts. He is backed by the huge
combined business interests
which wish to control our re-
sources, and by newspapers and
politicians subservient to those
interests.

No 48

No one, as we view the matter,
can assume that either Jones or
Piles represented the people OF
Washington, regardless of party,
by their votes on the present tariff
law. Every vote they cast with
Aldrich, according to our concep-
ton, was cast in the interests of
the trusts and combinations, whose
interests are directly opposite to
those OF the great masses. Voters
would do we'll to cut this vote out
and study it carefully, and when
these fellows bob up for Office again
YOU will have their record before
you.

fads of the schools that he had not
time to learn how many rods are in
rood and the number of roods in
an acre. My little girl had been
attending our schools for nearly
ten years. She generally brought
home a long list of problems in
arithmetic to solve at night. Asked
why she did not work them out at
school she replied we have no
time To simple questions In
geography, such as naming the
seas of Europe, Asia and Africa,
the area of different countries and
particularly about this country and
our own state, she was totally
ignorant consequently we were
reluctantly obliged to send her to a
private school where there are few
er fads and more substantial fOun-
dations for an education.

Through books our children can
learn more of the men who have
influenced the world than they
know of their own neighbors.
Through books one can become
the companion of kings and the
Conidant of statesmen; can cross
the ocean with Columbus or double
the cape of tempests with De Gamo;
become the familiar of Stanley,
Spoke or Livingstone in the dark
continent, or stand with Caesar in
the forum, or behold Marius amid
the ruins of Carthage; accompany
Napoleon in the dreary dcsolalon
of his Russian campaign. or watch
him dictate peace to the car on a
raft.
A knowledge of poetry adds
considerably to the sweetness and

fAOS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
RETARDING EDUCATION

The following article written by
James A. Sproule of Tacoma, for
the Tacoma Tribune is so pertinent
and to the point that we believe it
can very justly be applied to the
schools of our own city and county
and it is for the benefit of both
teachers and students that we re-
produce it, hoping that much good
nay come of it. Surely it fur
nishes much good for thought and
rejection. The taxpayers are
growing tired of digging up dollars
to pay for impractical education.
Peruse what Mr.. Sproule has to
ay carefully:
To the Editor of the Tribune:
The replies from the three candi-
dates for election as members of the
school board indicate that at least
TWO OF them are opposed to the
many fads in the common schools
which have cluttered the studies
and retarded or largely prevented
the education of the Young in those
branches which are deemed essen
ual BY most intelligent people.

PERSONS OF both sexes pass through

many things and knowing little or

Tempering Copper.

The lost art of tempering cop
per has been accidentally, though
fortunately discovered by a western
man, the discovery is one of vast
Importance to certain branches of
industry. Through mistaking an
other compound for borax while
working at his trade as a jeweler
David Lamon, of Denver, has sud-
denly found himself in possession
of the much sought after method
of hardening copper, says a writer
in the June number of the Techical
World Magazine
This powder, instead of softening
the metal, as borax does. instantly
changed the heated copper into
such a degree of firmness that
manipulation was impossible. Quick
to take the advantage what fortune
had so Unexpectedly thrust upon
him, the jeweler at once made
critical analysis of the compound,
determined the ingredients and
finally protected his wonderful
secret by a patent, The art that
was old when the pyramids were
building and which crumbled into
dust with its discoveries, to remain
mystery and hopeless secret for
centuries, has again been given the
world by the fortunate blunder of
an unsuspecting jeweler. Courier

What Lifted the Sultan.

One of the most interesting and
curious features of the Turkish rev.
olution is the role played in it by
the Sheik-ul-Islam. This singular
official, an appointee of the Sultan
himself, combines in his person the
dual role of chief ecclesiastical dig
nitary of the empire and chief in
terpreter of the sacred law. With
out his fetvah or decree, issued in
theory after consolation with the
Ulema, or council of the great
judges, theologians and teachers,
the faithful could not have been re-
leased from their allegiance to the
Sultan, and the Young Turks would
not have dared to attempt his dis
position. That they have been able
to extort the fetvah from the Sheik-
ul-ISlam is testimonial of their
ability to give assurances to the
wise men of Islam that the consti-
tutional program which they have
espoused is not in conflict with the
sacred law of the Koran. Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.
