Looking for Old Stamping Grounds

Not having been in this section of the
country for a period of 30 years, an old
Indian, accompanied by younger mep-
Der of his tribe, passed through the city
last week looking for what proved to be
the Calispel valley, in Stevens county,
Washington, but which he did not know
the name of.
The old man, 81 years of age, had,
prior to the time of passing through
here SO years ago, lived in the Calispel
country, but at that time went to greener
fields and pastures new, taking up East
ern Montana as his stamping grounds.
He remained there until recently, when
he made up his mind that he would like
to see his childhood home once more,
and accordingly started in quest of it.
AS the country at that time was unin-
habited, there being no town or villages,
not even railroads, consequently the old
man had a difficult task to find just
where he wanted to go. All the descrip-
ton he could give was the fact that
when he passed through here so long
ago he went by the lake and followed it
down a considerable distance when he
came to a water fall. This, of course,
was the present Albeni Falls.-Sand7

were dancing a minuet, drew pistol

Of the ladies'" he said, "for displaying
weapon in their company, but it is
unavoidable. There is $4,000 on my
head, and I'm sure you will excuse the
only means I have Of keeping it."
By this time he had backed to the
door. AS he slipped out Donna Inez,
with hot cheeks and flashing eyes,
threw something at him that struck
the wall and, rebounding, ratified on
the floor. One Of the guests picked it
up and held it aloft It was an i'm
mense diamond set in circle Of gold.
Some Of the men rushed out after
the bandit, but those upstairs heard
the clatter of horses hoofs and knew
that he had gone free. Then each
guest began to tumble for his or her
valuables, but no one missed any
thing. The diamond thrown at CorellO
by Donna Inez had been slipped on
her finger in the patio behind the palm
and did not belong to any one Of those
present. The outlaw had doubtless in

Local Option Election Next Tuesday

Tuesday, Sept. 7, the town of New
port, Washington, will decide whether
it will drive the licensed saloon out Of
business. A total of 254 voters have
registered, more than at any previous
election.
The anti-saloon workers have made a
very careful canvass of the situation and
will conduct an active campaign with
street meetings until election day. The
saloon forces have not made very Wig
orous fight, evidently feeling content to
let the voice of the public control.
What the outcome will be no one
seems to have the knowledge to speak
with decision. That it will be very close
and that all the votes will be gotten out
seems a certainty.

Bonner County Sure to Go Dry

Petitions calling for local option

significant that petitions calling for such

were canvassed and requested to sign
nearly 80 per cent. The only two local
option elections held in Idaho recently

A FACT BEYOND cAvlL.

If the labor unions did nothing else
than call attention to the misery that
abounds, their existence would be JUS
tifiable; but they have done more,
they have not only called attention to
the effects. they have shown the
causes. They have done more still;
they have produced remedies, upon
the merits and dement's of which pro-
fessors, editors and ministers now dis
cuss and advocate. Labor unions have
produced thinkers and educators from
cut their own ranks, and have drawn
students and teachers from the
wealthy and professional. And more
yet; while doing this, they have bet
tered the condition of thousands of
families, by securing higher wages,
shorter hours and greater indepen-
dence, individually and collectively.
The result is something to be proud
of. The carpenter, the printer, cigar
maker, clerk, shoemaker, tailor, work
ing long hours on short rations have
stepped boldly to the front and worked
revolution in American thought. 1t is

SPEAKING OF PENSIONS.
Corporation Pensions contrasted With
Union Pension Plan.

Much ado is made in the newspapers
about a proposed pension system
which the Rock Island railroad is
about to establish for the benefit of
its old employees. Those who have been
in for twenty-five years in the employ
of that railroad will be entitled to a
pension equal to twenty-five per cent
of the average annual pay drawn by
the pensioner. While we are not dis
posed to criticise the Rock Islands
plan, yet we don't see why there is
SO much fuss made over it by wouldbe
philanthrcpists. And surely the men
have to earn it before they can get it,
because the railroad has no income ex-
cept what is produced by those work
ing for the concern. Besides, it is not
so much of. a pension as that paid by
a well-known American labor organi-
zation-the International Topographic
cal Union. This organization pays it's
aged members at the rate of $40 a
month fiat, and no average about it.
And in addition to that it pays fun
eral benefit of SIS. And if a printer
desires neither the pension nor death,
then he is entitled to spend his last
remaining days at the Union Printers
Home at Colorado Springs, where
every possible care is taken of him
without costing him one cent. This
throws the Rock Islands pension plan
completely in the shade.-The Miners
Gazette.

ssEAklNe OF THE MILITIA.

When a company of National
Guardsmen of the District of Columbia
wanted to participate in the parade in
honor of President Samuel Gompers'
return from Europe, President Com
pers vetoed the proposition. The Brick
layers and Masons and the Brick, Tile
and Terra Gotta Workers Union
have announced Withdrawals of sick
and death benefits from members who
are members of the militia. In brief.
organized labor has time and again set
its face against having any part or par
eel in the makeup of the militia.
This is due to the well-known fact
that the militia is never used. save in
the case of actual war. except to be
turned out to protect the property of
emrloyers-never to protect the rights
OF employees.
But we have another thought on this
subject. Instead of standing aloof and
complaining because the militia is
used against them too often, why not
let the trades unionists OF the country
quietly fill up the ranks of the militia
regiments, elect the officers and con-
troll the whole system? 1t would be
splendid discipline, because 1t would
teach men to obey orders with
out question-and that is something
that workers need to learn before they
can make their demands effective. And
when the big employers learn that the
militia is composed of men who are
not the playthings of capital and of
politicians they will be awfully slow
in demanding that it be called out.
Before the Omaha street car strike
was forty-eight hours old, and before
there was even the faintest SYMPTOM of
violence, one of the men at the head
of the Omaha Business Mems Associa-
ton was in Lincoln begging the COVER
nor to send couple of militia com
panies to Omaha Ito protect proper
ty" that never was in danger To pro
tect property" Not on your life. To
awe into submission workers who were
demanding decent conditions-deoent
working hours and living wages.
The militia would have been the last
thought of the union busters if they
knew that the militia was made up of
union men and too independent to be
used for the selfish ends of men who
profit by grinding the faces of the
poor.
The more we think about it the
more we are of the opinion that we
have been overlooking a good bit in
this matter of the state militia.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-11-06

as much to be desired as extension OF
service-and that is better pay and
better conditions for the men who man
the cars. If the new management
wants to start in with the good will
and hearty support of every progress
sive and right-minded citizen, it's first
act will be to increase the wage scale
of the car men to living basis and
re-arrange the schedules so as to give
the men decent hours of service. I'm
derpaid and overworked men can not,
not matter how good the equipment,
give the patrons the service that they
deserve to have. The Wageworker be-
lieves that if it were left to popular
vote majority would favor an in
crease of wages for the men and a
| diminution of working hours rather
than immediate extensions and bet
ter equipment
The Traction Co., will have favors
it would not be amiss for it's managers
to give some thought to the idea that
one way to gain popular favor is to be
pointed out as an employer that pays
good wages, gives its employees decent
working hours and shows never-fail-
ing interest in the men who stand be-
tween the company and the general
public. The Traction Co., is FORUM
ate in having splendid lot of men in
charge of it's cars; men who are con-
siderate of the public, faithful in the
discharge of their duties, conservative
in their acts and loyal to the best in
terests of their employer. The Wage
worker believes that the progressive
business men who are soon to assume
control of the Traction Co., will rec
ognize these things and act accord
ingly.
