Two More Railroad Men Well Known Here
Killed Near Vancouver

Engineer George Zigweid and Fire
man w. d. Snyder, at the time OF the
accident living in Seattle, both well
known and had lived here, lost their
lives near Vancouver, B. c. last Satur-
day when the engine which they were
on went off a bridge into forty feet OF
water. Some repairs had been made
on the bridge and the switches were
turned so that the engine left the rails.
Only the engine and tender went into
the river, the coaches remaining on
the bridge, but stopped right on the
brink, one car partly off the bridge.
None OF the passengers were hurt.
Neither the engineer or fireman was
seen after they went into the river.

The Cubs Win from Wenatchee

The hoodoo for the Cubs broke last
Sunday in their game with Wenatchee
and they won easily, making the series
two and two. The timely hitting and
base running Of Smith was the feature
OF the game. The score remained
practically tied up to the 9th inning,
when the home team took a batting
streak and drove in 8 runs. From all
accounts Of the game the boys must
have had their batting clothes on.
France the Wenatchee slab artist was
batted out OF the box in the early part
OF the game. Longanecker was put
in his place but failed to relieve the
situation. So far no game has been
arranged for Sunday. The Wenatchee
bunch will not be seen here again be-
fore the 4th OF July when they are
scheduled to play games.

Ruth Must Be Suppressed

Everett Morning Tribune: Senator
A. S. Ruth, ardent defender Of Schiyely
and enemy Of Governor Hay, is doing
more than any other man in the repub-
hcan party 10 open the way TO demo
cratic control. Ruth's attitude on the
investigation Of state officers disguised
the decent citizenship Of the state. He
used all his influence as presiding off
Ger Of the senate to prevent legislative
investigation. His coarse denunciation
Of Governor Hay is what was to be ex-
pected Of him. If the republican leg
islatiye majority does not suppress him
during the special session that decent
and independent element Of the people
Of the state which holds the balance oil
power should turn its ballots to the
democratic party at the next election
and eliminate Ruth and the party that
Is responsible for him.

cannot be said that every movement

The unmistakable evidence they

The election Of representatives to
the lower branch Of the Legislature
from Douglas and Grant counties be-
came necessary because at the regular
session Douglas county was divided
and the representative elected from
Douglas now resides in Grant county.
The election for new members was
called just as soon as the special ses-
sion was decided on so that the coun-
ties would be represented. The cleo
ton was held last week. Mr.. Davis,
who had been the representative from
Douglas, was nominated by the repub-
Icans Of Grant and was defeated by q
democrat. The republican nominee in
Douglas county was also defeated by a
democrat. For the past eight years
Douglas county has been uniformly
and safely republican. If the republi-
can members Of the Legislature who
have opposed investigation Of republi-
can Office holders have failed 10 take
public opinion into account perhaps
this incident may help them 10 arrive
a, conclusion.

CONNECTS BUILD PUBLIC ROADS
Widespread Application Of he~ system
TtsrlsOtG Country

The system Of employing eerain
classes Of convicts Il building and re-
pairing prbhc roads. which We have
frequently discussed. mas nov been
adopted Il SIX or seven states, and is
being practically ried On 4 consider
able scale. Thus fzr no serioDs com
plants have been reported. while there
are many expressions Of satisfaction
and commentator. On the whole,
there seems . De lar more probability
Of the wider extension and permanent
retention Of he system than Of is aban-
donneni by any state which has given
i z far risL
From vgrOps points Of view, indeed,
the system undoubtedly mas much 10
commend i. Il is certainly 70 the II
terest Of the public that prisoners
should De made seH-supporing and not
De Z dead charge upon the purses Of
the taxpayers; and also that improved
roads should De constructed as gener-
ally As possible and be kept in good
repair. From the point Of view Of the
philanthopic penologist Il is certainly
far better for the prisoners themselves
that they should work than that they
should remain idle, and there could
probably be no better occupation for
them, ior their physical, mental and
moral welfare, than open-air labor on
the roads.
The system IS, Of course, entirely
different from the abominable convict
lease system, since the prisoners re-
main entirely in the custody and under
the direction Of the state and do only
state work. Their employment in pub
lie places, where they are constantly
subject 70 popular observation, Is z
guarantee against their i'll treatment
by their keepers. The common obiec-
ton 10 convict labor that it completes
with free labor, however much or little
force II may have in other cases, does
not apply 10 this system, because work
on the roads is not competitive in
dustry. Nor is il likely to be argued
that such employment shuts out free
laborers, because work on the public
roads is generally about the last that
men are willing TO engage in.
The examples Of the various states,
from North Carolina and Georgia TO
Oregon and Washington, which are
practically trying this system, are to
be commended 10 others for careful
observation and study, and, if the re-
suits are favorable, for imitation. New
