LOOKS PASSING STRANGE

Victor Murdoch who spoke at the
Yakima theatre Friday night in be-
half of Congressman Miles PoindeXter,
became an insurgent when he dis
covered that the railroads of this
country were filching 100000
year from the people because of an
cid time leak in the postoffice de-
eartment which Countenanced seven
Aays pay for six days service. He
bointed out the error to his co-pat-
Plots in the national law making
body and was ostracized. He carried
It to fight in the lower house and
was beaten. Then Theodore Roose-
welt who was president then, stamped
his foot and issued an order correcting
the error. Mr.. Murdoch was reg
alar" until that time. -. -. .....
Mr.. Murdoch explained other pc
culiar" situations which mark the de-
lineation between Cannon "standpat-
tiers or standstilers" and the insurg
ents, among them being tariff Incl
dentally it may be remarked that Mr..
Murdoch is not against the tariff,
He is simply against the abuse of ii
the same as a lot of other people.
He wants a tariff commission as do
the rest of us. which will permit OF
a careful study Of each schedule SO
that the poor man may be protected
from the incursions and vicious trad
ing of Cannon and Aldrich and Payne
and Dalzell. What is there wrong
about that? Why should these preda
tory leaders hog the situation for
their personal profit?
The whole insurgent fight is
fight of principles. Miles Poindexter
is making a fight for a principle,
and that principle is representative
government. We have seen plenty Of
evidences Of it in this campaign. Why
has every standpatter and old line
machine man been against HIM? Why
has an attempt been made to overturn
the state primary law which gives the
people the right to name their choice
for United States senator? Why have
certain leaders chosen to advocate the
direct primary two years ago and dis
claim all allegiance to it in this cam
paign? There is only one answer.
There is something rotten, either in
their principles or in their character

men into the calling that, in order to
survive. they must charge all the
traffic will bear. Statistics show, says
Mr.. Thesis, that for the country as a
whole the average Is less than a fun
eral a week for each undertaken.
To meet certain features of this
problem it has been suggested that
the undertaking business and the bust
ness of selling caskets and funeral
supplies be separated. If, then, all un-
dertakers were licensed by the State
they would be given professional
standing, similar to that of the doctor
and the dentist--a professional stand
ing to which many persons think the
dangers and difficulties of their calling
entitle them. and a standing which
would tend to draw class of men of
higher character into the business.
The business of casket selling would
then have to take its place along with
other ordinary businesses, and the cas-
ket merchant would not have that
confidential relation with the grief
stricken which gives the INSCRIPTIONS
undertaken the power to take his cruel
advantage.

DEVASTATION OF FORESTS BY
FIRE MUST CEASE.

II ~fie flood OF fire that yearly
sweeps over the forests of America,
sometimes in one section, sometimes
in another, but always somewhere
shall at length cause the whole peo-
pie of the United States to think
strenuously on the problems of con-
servation and to resolve infexibly
that the devastation must cease. then
there will at length come at least
measure of compensation for the ter
rible losses incurred, says the Spokes-
man Review.
1t has been calculated by experts
on forestry that at the rate the
forests of this country are consumed
40 years more will see the United
States as treeless country as Spain
or central Asia. This means loss of
water, of soil, OF fertility that will
tax all the resources even of modern
science, even of irrigation and en-
cheering, even Of dry farming md
advanced agriculture, to try to make
good. Every tree undone means that
the soil tributary to it loses It's ca
pacity to retain the rainfall and that
the priceless water rushes from de-
nuded lands in torrential and ruinous
floods that carry the soil to the sea.
In view of these facts it seems
proper to urge strongly that the con-
servation congress at st. Paul in
September do its best to educate
and arouse every community and
every class to their vital interest in
the preservation of the forests and
the prevention of the fires. The press
Of the Pacific northwest early in the
spring spread the warning broadcast
that climatic conditions conduced to
grave danger in the woods, but there
was widespread failure to take the
proper precautions.

GOD BLESS THE DEAR JUDGE

Speaking of injunctions there is a
fine, healthy one in operation at
Greensburg. Pa.
About the time the mine owners
and their families were planning
their European tours and other rest
full summer excursions. the spring
crop of miners babies was harvested.
The miners asked for more pay
or some pay The mine owners said
no. and since March 1900 men
have either been on strike or locked
cut.
When the original strikers urged
their fellow to Join them IN the
strike the lawyers got busy and soon
the aforementioned injunction was
clamped down,
A regular copper-lined, double
rivited little old injunction. 1t for
babe the miners from talking, sing
ing, marching, standing still-oh, it's
easier to tell what it didn't forbid
than to try to catalogue their prohibit
tons For example:
One OF the miners. John Camp
bell, a war veteran, member of the
famous Tenth Pennsylvania regiment,
died. Before a funeral could be
held dispensation had to be secur-
ed from the court for funeral pro-
cession, as a gathering of the dead
mans friends would have violated
that tight little injunction about
eight ways.
The court feeling kindly, permitted
the funeral, and deputies and "pinks"
We're told off to watch it, An Amer
lean flag was carried at the head of
the procession and when the little
funeral cortaGa passed the Jamison
mine it was halted and the deputies
made the miners furl the flag that
their dead comrade had fought for
because the injunction had forbidden,
among other things the carrying Of
banners or flags i'm the highways.
Rather than haul the corpse back to
court-and in doubt whether His
Majesty, the Judge, would take kind
ly to being bothered twice for one
funeral-the STARRY Emblem Of Lib
erty' was quietly doused ana the fun
eral proceeded purged Of contempt Of
court.
After the funeral-no longer hav-
ing the moral protection of the corpse
and being merely living defendants
in an injunction case--the deputies
herded the mourners home by a
roundabout way, and Justice, un-
sulied, held her sway
But we were going to tell what
was NOT enioined
Two things We're found-breath-
ing and praying. SO the miners com
posed a prayer asking that God show
the strike breakers the errors of their
ways; soften the hearts of the mine
owners and forgive the sins of the

countries in South Am erica. The
largest quantity and best quality OF
rubber is furnished by the province
of Para, Brazil, and all other varie-
ties of the article the not to be COM
pared with it.
The first shipment of rubber into
the United States was in 1900. The
manufacture of ruber began in 1920.
Surgeons and chemists began to use
it about that time, then Chas. NC
Intosh, Scotch chemist, invented
the waterproof coat, which still bears
his name.
Chas. Goodyear accidentally discov-
cred the art of Vulcanizing rubber
and developed the process and placed
it upon commercial basis. In cleo
trical appliances rubber is almost in
dispensable as an insulating mate
rial, which is another reason for the
wonderful growth of the industry in
the United States Statistics show
that during the last decade of the
nineteenh century the value of the
crude rubber imported into the
United States increased from $1S,-
020S04 in 1891 to 31,555.4S3 in
1900. In the decade beginning with
1900 the increase has even been
greater, but no exact figures are avail
able.
The increase of the price of crude
rubber and the manufactured pro-
duct has been so great that those
panies and individuals that had
the foresight and nerve to embark
in the industry when prospects were
somewhat problematical, are now
reapng profit all the way from $50
to 900 per cent
