GRAFTERS AND SHYSTERS.

According to a recent decision it
is not SANDER to call a man CRATER.
says the Minneapolis Journal. But
there is no doubt that those who
apply the epithet to others mean to
imply something disgraceful. 1t is
only question of time when the
word will come to have a Distinctly
offensive meaning, just as the word
shyster now has when applied to a
lawyer. A shyster is lawyer who
does business in a tricky manner,
without regard to professional honor.
A CRATER is a public official or
private citizen who does business
in tricky manner without regard
to personal honor. The term is
applied Unfortunately to boodlers
and bribers, to the baser thieves who
do things which are indictable, and
to the more petty rogues who merely
do things in an underhanded way
in the hope of some small personal
gain.
The man who omits to paw his
streetcar fare, because the conductor
failed to make distinct demand
for it, is petty CRATER. The
woman who accepts more change
than is her due at the store, be-
cause of the mistake of a clerk, is
another. The word has not yet pro-
crossed to the station where it
can be defined as slanderous. but it
is only a question of time when
common usage will bring it to that
state.

We heartily concur in the follow
ing, taken from the Mortified News:
If the small town retailer adver-
tises in the local papers theoretically,
wisely and persistently he can beat
the mail order game every time. 1t
has been done so often that it needs
no further demonstration. The mail
order house may have an advantage
over the local merchant in the as
sortment of goods, but the local
merchant has such tremendous
power by wisely advertising in the
local press that the mail order house
is really one which is working under
the greatest natural handicap after

AMERICAN MINISTER

Efforts to Avoid Conflict Be.
tween Peru and Bolivia,

$50 L =
Buenos Ayres, July 2l-Frequent
conferences are being held between
the minister of foreign affairs and the
ministers of the United States and
Peru. 1t is hoped to avoid conflict
between Peru and Bolivia by securing
direct negotiations between these
countries looking towards definite
adjustment of the boundary contro-
versy. 1t is maintained. however, that
IN any event Bolivia should first rec
ogn1ze the arbitration award made by
the president Of the Argentine Repub-
TIC and also give Argentina adequate
satisfaction for recent indignities.
After Bolivia has taken this prelim-
mary action it will remain for Bolivia
and Peru to take up the boundary
question further and adjust it accord

for sending further soldiers to the

Everywhere the king goes he Is

fidelity can be counted on to the end.

The ministers have urged him to

sinated, but the youthful monarch de.
clares it is his duty to see personally
that the work Of getting the troops
into Africa shall be rushed to COM
pletion.
The king, however, has abandoned
all intentions Of visiting England and
other nations this summer as he had
planned. He is devoting his time and
energy to the affairs Of the nation,
but his action is winning no friends
for him, for the people are bitterly
opposed to the present war.
Every garrison from which troops
are to be sent to the front has been
deprived Of all ball ammunition.
The soldiers are given no bail am
munition until the transports get them
to Africa, when they are supplied with
cartridges and rushed forward to the
relief Of General Marina, besieged at
Melilla..
Reports from one Of the ports where
troops are being embarked indicate
that there have been mutinies and if
they had not been deprived of ammu-
milton 1t Is believed there would have
been bloody fighting before they could
have been gotten on board the trans
ports
The general staff has published its
report of the casualties in the fighting
in front Of Melilla. It shows that the
Spaniards lost heavily. A colonel and
five other officers were killed and a
colonel and twelve other off cers
wounded, The report says 260 SOL
diers were wounded. but the number
Of soldiers killed Is withheld on the
ground that tho reports are incom-
plete. The people that surround the
bulletin boards are clamoring for the
names Of the dead.

REPORT OF CONCILIAT0RS
Refuses to Recommend RECOGNITION
Of Mine Workers.

Halifax, N. s., July 2.-The gov
eminent Cancellation board refuses to
recommend recognition of the United
Mine Workers Of America in it's re-
port on the labor differences at the
collierfes at Spring Hill. The United
Mine Workers demanded recognition,
while the company maintained that it
should not be required to help sup
port a foreign labor organization, the
main body of whose members are
working in the production of coal CON-
pet1ng with the Nova Scotia product
in the Canadian market.
The Cancellation board, in it's re-
port, says that it feels that it should
not express an opinion as to such
recognition. but that the matter ought
to be left to the discretion OF the
company.

BECAUSE OF ANTI
PATRIOTIC CAMPAIGN
Republican Clubs at Madrid
Closed by Authorities.

Madrid. July 2 The Spanish au-
thorities are exercising rigorous GEN.
sorship over the publication of news
regarding the war between the Span
iards and the Kabyle tribesmen on
the Riff coast of Morocco. Nothing
except official dispatches is allowed to
be published and communication by
telephone to the provincial newspa-
pers has been stopped. The govern
ment considers these measures justi-
fed on the ground of military neces-
slty and because of the anti-patriotic
campaign being conducted by the Lib
eral and Republican press. The en-
tire edition of Ell Pals was confscated
and all the Republican clubs were
closed.
The persons arrested in connection
with the demonstrations against the
departure of the troops will be
charged with sedition and tried be-
fore a cOurtmartial. The outside
world, the government officials de-
clare, should understand, however,
that the Liberals and Republicans are
exploiting the unpopularity Of the war
for political purposes and they are
suspected of melting to resistance the
reservists, who were forced in many
cases to leave families without sup
port.
1t IS reported that General Marina,
commander of the Spanish forces at
M91i119 hos informed tho oovorppoor+
that he will require 100000 men to
insure decisive defeat over the Moor
ish tribesmen
Melilla, Morocco, July 2A-The
Moorish tribesmen have divided their
forces into two columns. one concen-
trating at Souk-Mazuza and the other
on the slopes of Mount Gurugu. It is
believed the tribesmen contemplate a
night attack on the Spanish positions.
