 Soldiers Are On Guard.
 Soldiers are guarding the district under command of Colonel Steele, head of the Canadian permanent force in western Canada The police are unable to cope with the situation. It was impossible to control either the imported Canadian Pacific constables or the dock strikers. The trouble was caused by the ar rival of 30 constables from Winnipeg. The sight of the constables seemed to rouse the strikers to frenzy.
 First Shot Is Fired. At the city hall the mayor had done what he could to arrange a settle ment. Canadian Pacific officials had agreed to grant the demands Of the men and pt them to work under an increased scale Chief Andrews of the constables was telephoning to his men to stay in the boarding house not to incite the strikers pending a con firmation of the report that the com pany had yielded when the first shot was fired.

The Cost of a President.

Congressman Rainey'S bitter at
tack on the extravaganza of the Re-
publican presidential maintainence
wherein he spoke of the $4,000
additional to be devoted to Tafts
travelling expense account is worthy
of remembrance. The particular
paragraph to remember, however,
is that in which MIR. Rainy makes
a list of the expenses connected
with the presidential Office. The
public assumes that the presidents
$4,000 a year salary covers the
cost of the presidential establish
ment. In fact it is a very small
part of it.

has not been disputed. is as fol-
