with such "malefactors Of great

extend beyond the seas, as well as
his opposition to independent
political action, to which move
ments the European workers are
partial, handicapped the A. F. of
l.. president from the start.
Gompers made two visits to
England, two to France and spent
some days in Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Switzerland and Italy. At
his first visit in Great Britain he
was given respectful attention, al
though frequently heckled at
meetings that he addressed Then

country are writing letters to
America complaining that Com.
pers was only interested in search
ing out the poverty in their midst
for his syndicate articles, and
showed little concern about the
immense industrial, political and
cooperative movements that ex
ist in Belgium.
In Germany Gompers encoun-
tered almost the solid opposition
of the laborites and their news

criticisms of his policies. Re-
turning to the international labor
congress in Paris. Gompers vir-
tually ran foul of all the delegates
from the IS countries who repre-

Austrian delegates charged that
he more nearly represented the
views of capital than labor, and

those for whom their visitor pre-
tended to speak.
But the unkindest cut of all
came at the recent British Trade
Union congress in Ipswich, at
which over 500 delegates, repre-
senting about 100000 workers,
were assembled. Gompers came
to say farewell and he was given
a clear perception of the British
working class mind by contrast.
When Gompers had concluded his
speech he received scattering ap-
plause. Shortly afterward J. Kerr
Hardie, leader of the British Labor
party and an opponent of Com
pers' policies, was introduced, and
received an ovation that spoke
volumes regarding the sentiment
of the Britons in relation to the
so-called American labor policies
Hardie declared that labor is a
power in the British parliament,
and intimated that in the Ameri-
can congress labor receives no
consideration, because the work
ers are unrepresented, but are
looked upon by the old capitalistic
party politicians as mere voting
chattels.
AS a proper solution for the sup
posed strained relations" that ex-
list between the diplomats and
politicians of Europe, the interna-
tional labor congress just held in
Paris declared war upon war. The
French and German delegates
created a tremendous demonstra-
ton by clasping hands and an
nouncing that the workers of one
country would not fight the work
ers of the other country, but would
rather turn their guns upon those
who attempted to incite war.
The greatest demonstration that
occurred In the British Trade
Union congress at Ipswich, which
assembled a few days after the
Paris congress adjourned, was
upon the adoption of resolution
declaring that if King Ed and
Kaiser Bill declared war the
unions in Great Britain and Ger
many would call general strikes
and paralyze both countries.

proposition to form a savings bank
under the direct control Of labor
organizations was the feature of a
resolution adopted today by the
state federation of labor conven-

WHO CAN FIND
. SON FOR THESE
AGED PARENTS?

Can anyone in Spokane help an
aged father and mother to find
their son, Henry Jackson? The
police have received a letter from
Henry's parents, living in Assmup-
ton, ILL.,, asking them to aid them.
The last heard from him was in
June of this year, when he wrote a
postal card to them from Spokane.
The young man, who is but %
years of age, has been travelling
through the southwestern states
since early this year, writing occa-
sionally to his parents. He came
to Spokane and on writing the
postal card to them promised to
write again soon, but he has never
been heard from since.

The fact of the matter is that
few of those around the police sta

forth as special officer at the
service of anyone in need of a
Waterman, doubt it enough to ex-
pertinent with his strength. He is
still strong and hearty, claiming
never to have been sick one day in
his entire life. His grandfather on
his fathers side was a thorough
bred Delaware Indian and lived to
be 120 years old. His grandmoth-
er, of the same tribe, was past the

We do not care to bore his excel

a few more lines in behalf OF the new
judgeship due this county and dis
trict and urge once more that It be
assigned to the ablest and best train
ed mind be can find among the ciev-
er aspirants, as they shall present
themselves and their claims. We want
no particular man; but the man we
get in this relation must be eminently
qualified for the place; be must be a
judge before he is sworn to the SER
vice; he should be master in law
and precedent and practice, for any
thing less than this would be an in
justice to the incumbent and more
than an injustice to the people Of
two counties.
He may take his time about this
thing There is no extraordinary rush
impending. and we would rather the
Governor took his time for the sake
Of making due inquiry, than to make

CHEERFUL BANK NEWS.

Bank Examiner James Steel, Of
Oregon. is authority for the cheerful
statement that the State and National
banks are in prime condition gener-
ally, ard that the deposits have in
creased. since November last, TO the
tune OF round million Of money,
with ! concordant strain sounding in
behalf Of loans. discounts and seeuri-
ties, while 4 third harmonious note is
found in the sums Of moneys due
from banks All this has a pleasant
sound throughout the State and no
ene cares how long nor how far the
echoes range and carry.
To the Oregon taxpayer, especially,
it is very comforting, since he win be
one Of the largest users Of bank mon
ey this wear. and is already using it
to meet the unconscionabIe burden
cast upon him by the courts and COM
missions that have to do with the for
mutation of the tax-roIls. Down here
in ClAtsop. where the banks never
fail and where the best and most
conservative banking is done, the
taxpayers intend to dispute some OF
the access imposed BY the State and
pass the issue up to the Supreme
Court before paying the levy Of the
State in its final sum. For il is very
evident that a grave blunder has been
made somewhere along the line Of
levy, when an increase OF S6.000,OOO
in values by the State on the Clatsop
estimate, calls for but $4,000 increase
in the State tax apportionment for
this county. The State having blum
dered at some point in the calcula-
ton, has, in the conception Of very
many thinking people here. vitiated
the entire charge; but the contem-
ton here viii address itself only to
the $4,000.
But 50 long as the banks hold out
in safe and comfortable condition as
they are now reported to be, the av-
erage taxpayer may hope 10 have
fair show if being sold up for his de-
hnquencies on the tax rolls. 1t ought
to be hrst-class year for the banks;
and if they flourish, there will not Be
much else to worry about in gen
