THE FRENCHMAN'S FIX.

'French Strike May End in Revolution SO writes the
telegraph editor United Press dispatch from Paris
May be and may be not Revolutions very differ
ent from bargain sales The revolution is adver-
tsed in advance the less successful it is likely to be.
The people of France however, have always been expert
at revolutions Get down your old school history and
refresh your recollection with the fact that it the
great great grandathers of the present French strikers
who took their king out January morning in 1893 and
cut his head off.
On the surface of things, the present French postal
strike appears to be like many other big strikes in France
heh have been occurring on an average OF once year
the last 10 years.
Imagine yourself in Frenchman's place. Your letter
carrier strike, girl to your telephone calls
he telegraph wires dead! No news weather reports
markets. no base ball results-nothing worth while!
Socialists than strike in the present troubles
of France They labor coming to grips with the world
oresen industrial system just democracy came to grips
with kngshp in 1893 and cut off the head of kngshp.
Socalism in France in every other continental coun-
try has been growing fast for 20 years Under Karl Marx
himself expelled from France about 60 years ago for his
teachings the European socialist has been working steadily
for system of society where the means of producing and
distributing wealth belong to the workers.
Up to within recent months French socialists have been
less divided into factions-each with its rem
edy for social ills. Only last month Guesde the present
socialist leader of France overwhelmed his enemies in the
national congress- and committed French labor to
radical socialist policy His opposition known as
opportunsts-men willing to compromise with present
conditions in part.
Gnesde believes in no compromise He wants labor to
continue to fight for it's right by franchise, but openly
breaches resort to force of arms.
This then. is the situation existing when the present
strike arises man in every 40 is employee of
French government bureau These million workers are
demanding the right to organize in unions that the
government grants to the various trades.
To this demand Premier Cemenceau replies "lmpos-
sibe" In March the postal employees struck for few
days. then went back to work. The strike however, has
been generally regarded moral victory for them
Now they have organized their forbidden union. Glenn
enceau has refused audience committee of the workers
who him discuss the situation. So the trades
unions of France going to find out whether they or the
premier is the stronger

commercial interest; process
which is we'll calculated to flood
the town with people who desire
work and can't get it for the simple
reason there are not sufficient
number of large shops, factories,
etc, to supply with work the many
people of the so called working
class whom the real estate men,
in particular, boost into this city
from other cities by inducing them
to buy property and make their
homes in Spokane.
In acting thus, Spokane is only
adopting the method the American
nation has hitherto distinguished it
self by pursuing, namely: the cult
walton of commercial and financial
interests at the expense of what
comparatively speaking, are the
Higher values of art, literature

SHOULD INVESTIGATE
STATE LAND SALES

The sale of public lands in Spo-
kane county as conducted by State
Land Commissioner e. W. Ross is
severely criticised by those ac-
quaiRted with the manner in which
such sales have been conducted
Around the county auditors office
there are men who believe that an
investigation of Ross accounts
ought to be made, and that some
interesting facts will be developed
If the investigation is a thorough
and impartial one.

WANTS SHIRLEYS TO STAY

Editor The Press-Truly the
city of Spokane is possessed by the
spirit of boosting. Whether or no
this zeal originates in the minds
of commercial magnates who seek
individual gain as distinct from
gain which shall benefit the whole
communicative laborer and the
real estate vendor alike-is an
open question. Certain it is, how
ever. that large sums of money are
being freely given and expended in
boosting Spokane.
The point would like to raise
is this: Why cannot the public
spirit and some of the surplus
wealth Of the many wealthy Spo-
kaneites be devoted to retaining in
the city theatrical organization
the Shirley company, which seems
in danger OF shortly becoming a
pleasant memory only?
Led by Miss Shirley, who has re
ceived the consistent support o.
several very capable actors ant
actresses. we ehave in the Shirle!
company the neucleus of wha
might, in time and with adequate
financial assistance, have becom,
an artistic and educative influence
OF inestimable value to the growtl
OF the city.
Spokane seems to pay compare
lively little heed to her intellectual
or artistic development. BY far tn
greater part of the surplus energy

voted TO boosting, In artificial man
