The Army Mule.

From the Chicago Post.-By an or
der from headquarters the automobile
passes from some of the army posts
and the mule comes back to its own.
1t was only question of time, for the
attachments of the ages are not easily
broken. The mules enlistment never
was intended to expire. and as for the
summary dismissal. it was illconsider-
ed, but now all's well once more with
the mule and the army. The army
mule is a tactician and strategist-
Study Of its habit has won many a
battle BY the mere curl of lip it
develops a defensive front, and under
no circumstance of seeming peace or
of active war are its flanks left I'M
guarded The mule heard the army
swear in Flanders and it hears 1t
swear in the Philippines. 1t always
has been the target for profanity, and
it has done loyal service as the sol
diers' safety valve.

From the Galveston News.-God

too indolent or Indifferent to place
them between his family and the
spreaders of deadly disease. There is
absolutely no excuse for the man or
woman whose place of habitation
swarms with flies and whines with
the voice of mosquitoes. They can be
kept out and % cents spent in keep
ing them out is equivalent to keeping
out a doctor who would cost $25, or
possibly to keeping out a much less

ANOTHER CHANGE | {. FOR
=. F|HEE.tAkE CARRIERS
Will Be Given One More Oppor-
tunity to Recede From Their -:
Unjust Demands.

In formally the local marine -engi-
neers have discussed the question Of
demanding of the Lake Carriers 10
per cent Increase of wages. The vote
of all tEe locals, approved by the
officials Of the international union, is
necessary before such a. decision can.
become effective.
The move is aimed only against the
vessels of the Lake Carriers associa-
tion. Companies operating independ-
ent of the association will not be af-
fected.
The engineers have a twofold pur-
pose in demanding the increase They
believe that the time is nearly here
when the vesselmen will have to have
the services of union engineers and
also feel that the increase will COM
pensate them for the loss of time. The
engineers state positively that they
will not sign with any vessel, even at
Increased wages, if the "welfare" clause
is not eliminated from the contracts.
Saturday the Last Day.
Saturday has been set as the last
day for the Lake Carriers to come over
The latter still maintain that they are
not worried over the situation, and
will continue to run their boats as they
please. They say that the welfare
clause will be a part Of all the con-
tracts, despite any action the unions
may take.
Members Of the arbitration board Of
six states around the Great Lakes met
in conference in Chicago Tuesday in
the effort to conciliate the warning
factions in the strike Of the lake sea-
men. The body cannot act under the
laws of any one state, and the move
ment is intended to bring the Lake
Carriers association and the Lake
Seamen's union together in friendly
conference The state officials in the
conference are:

The Port Huron Sunday News, one
Of the '>most influential newspapers
published in the state of Michigan,
ufges upon all its readers to stand
firmly by the seamen on the Great
Lakes in their determination not to
sign away their birthright as Amerl-
can citizens to the Lake Carriers as
soctation. The News says in part as
follows: ~
Appeal to the Public.
~ Every encouragement should be lent
to the Seamen's unions in their deter
minatlon not to sign away their birth
right to the steamship companies. X =
The latter are soulless, ghuulish
corporation that have no more regard
fort1 their men, or as much as they
have for their steamboats,. And If
they could force them to work for
ten cents a day, they would do it.
And this great contest between the
men and the wealthy brutes of crea-
ton the men should have every as
sistance from all classes in the fight
for their lives And the different or
ganizations in the laboring classes
should stand by the engineers, firemen
and other seamen in the mighty con-
fict now going on.
At tho Mercy Of Trusts.
Almost everything that the laboring
man eats, drinks and wears and the
dollar he earns is in the hands Of a.
trust. There is a steamship trust, a
clothing trust, the laundry trust, the
egg trust, the butter trust, and in fact
about every article of food now is con-
trolled by some giant corporation
Where are the laboring classes going to
and If this continues when one man
can raise the price of a barrel Of flour
fifty cents in a week; where butter is
thirty to thirty-five cents a pound, po-
tatoes thirty cents a peck and it costs
fifteen cents to get shirt washed?
There's an old saying that whats
everybodys business, Is nobody's bust

be protected or a conflict will soon

PARIS, May 13.-The postal en-

The chamber Of deputies refused to
interfere with the management of the
department by the minister Of public
works and the strike followed within
half an hour.
Eight thousand men have quit. The
meeting in the hippodrome was at
tended by above 5000 and their vote
was unanimous.
The railway, mail clerks have gone
out in a body. The clerks have aban-
doned their desks. The carriers have
quit their routes.
The department is at standstill
and business does not know how it
will turn around.
The debate in parliament was keen
but the majority held with the min
listers that discipline must be sup
ported. The ministry maintain that
conditions under government service
does not warrant the union tactics that
apply elsewher. The men have per-
manent positions and pensions. They
don't need the self protection that is
required in private trade.
The socialist delegates stood for the
men but the majority for the govern
ment was overwhelming.
1t was not half an hour before the
assembly Of the unions was in ses-
sion an da debate more heated than
that in parliament ended in the unap-
imous vote to strike.

FOREST FIRES RAGING
Much Timber Being Destroyed
in Northwest.
RANCHERS LOSE HOMES
Hundreds Employed Fighting the
Flames.

| Destructive forest fires, many miles
In extent, have been burning in north
Idaho, Washington and British
Columbia. A brush fire near Blue
slide, Wash, last week got beyond
control. jumped the Pend Orellle
river and swept up the mountain side.
Several settler families were burned
out and we're rescued by the steam
boat on the river. A magnificent
body Of timber was destroyed and the
towns of Blueslide aud Ruby were for
a time in danger.
Serious fires have occurred in the
Lake creek country and in the
national forest near Hayden lake.
Grand Forks and Cranbrook, b. c.,
have been threatened with destruc-
tiOn by immense fires raging in their
neighborhoods. Many other fires are
reported ia British Columbia, large
tracts of timber being swept.
Great destruction to tim ber is re.
ported from fires near Port Hill and
Bonners Ferry aud south OF Cocolalla
lake. as we'll as along the railroad be-
tween Granite and Arhol. Several
homes have been burned near Port
Hill and it is estimated million
dollars worth of timber has been
destroyed.
Railroad locomotives, careless camp.
ers and ranchers allowing brush Tres
to get beyond control, are believed to
be responsible for these fires. No
rain has fallen for weeks and the
woods are dry as tnder. The cost to
the timber companies is great, for
besides the destruction of timber,
hundreds Of men are employed fight
ing the flames.
