WAS UNDER AN ALIAS.
John Morey. the Murderous Suicide,
Was Under an Assumed Name.
Had Labor Trouble.

John Moriarity, not John Morey,
Sunday committed suicide after he
had shot and wounded James D. Bel
lantine and William Rosio. Evidence
to this eject was unearthed today
by the finding of book containing
the constitution and bylaws CT the
Sailors Union OF the Pacific under
the carpet in the room Moriarity, or
Morey. occupied in the Northern no.
tel. The testimony furnished by two
letters found in the boOk--one writ
ten by E. Ellison. secretary Of the
Sailors union at san Francisco. and
the other written under a Portland
date. but by whom is not known the
name having been torn off-shows
Moriarity had been accused of vio-
lating the rules of the union and
had probably suffered expulsion.
The letter signed by Ellison for
mally prefers charges against Mori-
arity for alleged betrayal of the
union TO the I. l.. NJ. 4 T. A" which
is the International Longshoremen,
Marine x Transport Workers Asso-
citation of America. and which is not
now affiliated with the Sailors
union. Relations between the two
organizations were severed several
years ago and all members of the
Sailors union were ordered then to
resign their membership in the
Longshoremeu' organization. The
letter charges that "Comrade" Mori-
arity did not obey the order but that
he continued 10 work with the Long
shoremen and that he caused the ar
rest OF the Portland agent Of the
Sailors union during the recent la
Dor difficulty in that city. For that
reason his expulsion is demanded.

Blacklist and Boycott.

A decision of the Maryland court
cf appeals the other day against 'he
blacklist is noteworthy just now
when the public is hearing much OF
the boycott case against the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor and samuel
Gompers. In the eyes OF the ia" the
boycott and the blacklist are alike.
Both are illegal and the courts do
not hesitate to rule against them.
They are attempts to injure the BUS
inrcease in the aomunt fprotetclon.
mess or the occupation of others.
A Baltimore tailor was discharged
On the ground that he was an asl'
tator among other employees. HIS
employer did not stop at that. lie
wrote letter to an organization
of about twenty clothing dealers
in which he said of the discharged
man: we would request you to
see that he is refused employment
in all association houses in which he
q
the shop chairman in my cutting
room. and in addition to this he has
been a source of trouble. In other
words. he has been trying TO dis
organize my rule.
This constitutes what is known
as blackisting. The discharged man
went about looking for work and
was refused by six members of the
organization Finally he brought
suit and the court of appeals holds
that he has right to recover damages
The court lays down we'll established
principles. An employer may lawful
" discharge an emplOye at what he
pleases and for what cause he
chooses. providing there is no con-
tract involved. and on the other
hand an employee may quit work
at his pleasure. but neither has the
right to iniure the business or oc-
cupation of the other by means of
the boycott or the blacklist.
Says the Maryland court of APP
peals:
"While the law does not furnish
a shield against the effects of fair
and honest competition, yet injury
to the business of another, if &C.
complished by threats or coercion,
constitutes a ground for action for
damages on the part of the person
so injured In furtherance of their
common welfare, and in settlement
of their oftimes conflicting inter-
ests, both employers and employees
stand upon a plane of perfect equal
ity before the law, enjoying the
same freedom and amendable to the
same restrictions. Both may COM
bine in unions or associations, but
such associations. like individuals,
must employ lawful methods for the
settlement of lawful purposes"
1t is we'll to keep these principles
of law in mind when industrial CO.
troversies arise and the courts are
some times attacked without just
reason.-Tacoma Ledger.

County Roads.

All admit that the development
of Chehalis county depends almost
entirely upon the building Of roads
SO as to make accessible the rich
farming and grazing lands that
abound in all directions, and nearly
all agree that the only feasible and
equitable plan of building the roads
required is by raising the money on
long time bonds at low rate of in
terest. The only possible objection
70 this method is the fear that the
money would not be wisely expended
so as to give value received, but
this is risk we must always take,
and to postpone the development OF
the resources of the county on that
score would mean to put it off for
ever.
The danger that private interests
and political influences might con-
troll in the matter of road improve
ments and locations would be avoid
ed if a law was enacted by the pres
ent legislature providing for the as
sessment of, say so per cent of the
cost of new roads to the abutting
property for distance of half i
mile or mile on either side, just as
city and town property is assessed
for street improvements. Such a
law would not only permit double
the amount of road building with a
given sum of money, but would les
sen the tendency to ask for unneces-
sary roads.

However wise, however beneticent
the executive understanding with
Japan may be, there is nothing but
danger in allowing it to grow into a
precedent. Although it me- y not be a
treaty, which is required by the Con-
stitution to be ratified by the Senate,
the difference is SO slight that treat
les might grow out of the practice,
and the treatymaking power of the
Senate thereby become obsolescent
1t is the duty of the senate to act
upon the presidents understanding.
Our treaty-making method is alto.
gether too despotic, taking the Con.
stitution as it is; and we can i'll af.
ford to allow the president to amend
the Constitution In this respect so as
to conform to the European method
under which the monarch alone makes
treaties.

Ed. B. Benn for Mayor.

The candidacy of Ed. B. Bonn for
the office of mayor has been an
nounced. and he is practically a
candidate for election. although he
has not filed his declaration. Mr..
Benn is native of Aberdeen, with
immense interests in the city of his
birth, and has many desirable quail
fications for that office. He has the
time to devote to the city's affairs,
with which he is familiar. AS city
councilman and state representative
Mr.. Benin made excellent records. He
is 2 young man with ambitions. the
furtherance of which would cause
him to give the office Of mayor such
attention as to commend him to the
people. Aberdeen might go farther
and do much worse than elect Ed.
Benn mayor.

TO REVISE CONSTITUTION.
Movement on Foot in the Legisla
ture for a Complete Revision.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 23.-It was rum
ored tonight on indisputable author
ity that movement is on foot looking
to a complete revision of the cOnsti-
tuition of the state of Washington
at the earliest date the ponderous
legal machinery necessary for such
a change can be set in motion. While
details ave carefully withheld the
reports are 10 the effect that the plan
will be sprung in the senate this
coming week by the introduction of
a bill by Senator Pliny Allen of King
county. thereby opening formal dis
cussion and action.
Under the provisions of the pres
ent constitution any revision plan
must first be sanctioned by the vote
of two-thirds of the members of
each house. after which the propo-
sails shall be submitted to the vote
of the people at the next general
election. In case approved is given
the next succeeding legislature, which
in this instance would be the
Twelfth. may pass a law calling a
constitutional convention, member
shin IN which must equal that of
the lower house. or ninetyfive men,
bers. The proceedings of the con-
venJion must then he ratified by a
second popular vote before the revis-
ed constitution can become opera

LOCAL OPTION FIGHT.
Real Fight to Be Made Over Cues.
ton OF q Reasonable Measure.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 23.--The fight on
the local option question is the most
absorbing topic to come before the
Legislature next week. The trial of
strength to be made in the house
Monday will serve to define the po-
sitiOn of each representative so far
as the Anti-Saloon Leagues bill is
concerned. When the bill is report
ell from the public morals commit
tee, vote will be forced and for
the first time the strength of the
two factions will be shown. That a
local option bill will be passed is
conceded by the liquor interests. The
question of what a reasonable bill
is will be the dividing point.
The bill proposed by f. B. Palm
er. of King county, to provide for
vote on the saloon question out
side of incorporated cities towns and
villages, is regarded by the liquor
interests as the one least likely to
disturb the saloon business. The
country precincts may vote to abol-
ish road houses and logging camp sa-
looms, but the saloons in the cities
and towns will continue to flour
ish. This measure, according to the
Anti-Saloon League, does not touch
the real issue and affects such a
small part of the community as not
to be regarded as giving any con-
siderable number of voters an op-
portunity of saying If the saloons
shall stay,

A consular report shows that at the
end of last year thirty chartered banks
in Canada had 1916 branches besides
those in this and other foreign coun-
tries. One bank with capital and
surplus of $35, GOO, coo has 135 branches.
This branch bank system has too great
advantages; the parent banks estab-
lish branches in small places that could
not organize banks of their own; cap
ital is so we'll diffused through these
branches that theirs ore only small
differences between money rates at
the financial centers and in the min
ing towrs, the lumber towns and the
wheat shipping centres of the new
territories. In the United States there
are much greater differences in the
rates for money in New York and in
the south or the far west Every
branch bank has a savings depart
ment.

charged with trafficing in intoxicants,
was dismissed in probate court Tues
day While a quantity of liquor was
found in hisl possession Zion was
able to show by written orders that
he had simply acted as agent for

Under recent rulings of the courts
it is not violation of the Rose law
for person to act as agent for an
other in ordering liquors and bring
