CHEAP PO|SONS
SOLD IN FRANCE
MAKE APACHES
France Pleased With Action
of Chamber Of Deputies
in Putting Down
Crime.

PARIS, Feb. 12.-All France III
happy that the chamber of depu-
ties has taken such an interest in
the question of crime and GRIM
inals in the army. A speedy solu-
ton of the problem seems to be
found in the African division of
troops. There will be less chance
for crime in that warm cline than
In France, and in case any killing
Is INDUCED in the criminals can
have the pleasure of numbering
each other.
Gambetta, the late patriot and
stateman, characterized the
"apaches," or criminally inclined
classes, as Slaves of drink" And
that just fits them. In Paris, Mar
settles, Bordeau, Toulon, Lyons and
every other city in the country
there are hundreds of little "cafes"
where the cheapest poison is sold
under the name of absinthe. Any
kind of absinthe might, at least, be
called damaging to the mental fac
ulties, but the vile limitations sold
to the poorer classes produces an
individual upon whom morphine
and cocaine would be practically
immune. To this creature France
owes her reputation for weird
crimes and increasing criminality.
And crime Is increasing at an
alarming rate in France. Every
day one reads of husbands butcher
ing wives, wives numbering chill
dren, children killing their parents.
In the latter cases the probability
is that the father or mother, or
both, were absinthe fields and the
children came into the world with
minds criminally bent.
Military service being compul-
sorry and all males at 81 compelled
to enter the army, the "apaches"
don the uniform of their country
just the same as the millionaire's
son. And side by side they have
been serving their two years. The
apache" is numerous, and his de-
moralizing effect in the French
army has been tremendous. The
two boys, Grady and Michel, who
murdered Nine. Gouin, wife of the
regent of the Bank of France, were
soldiers Of this sort. And 1t was
their abominable crime, one of the
most hideous in the annals of such
deeds, that determined Minister of
War Brun to act. !
But the pitiful fact remains that
criminality has reached such. a. crit
ical stage in the French army that
even the undeserving few must be
made to suffer with the punish
notwithstanding. 1t seems to be the
only solution. ,sx.

DR.. Wilson Is graduate of
Northwestern University, class '05.
Practiced In Chicago and for the
past three years in Spokane. He
Is permanently located here and
says he don't want to hear of
better town.
DR.. r. l. Shontz and DR.. John T.
Wilson, the real Spokane dentists,
are to be commended for their won
derful achievements in the dental
business, inasmuch as they have
built a wonderful business by their
fair and honest dealings with the
public. Feb. 1, 1909, they established
their business upon a solid founda-
ton. realizing that 1t would take
at least one year to become dem
fists with wide reputation unless
they resorted to sensational
methods and turned out cheap
work. There was at that time
great desire in their hearts to be-
come the leading dentists, but a
greater desire to remain for years
in good standing as reliable den-
lists. 1t was this policy that
brought their business to the front
with each day stronger and more
favorable reputation.
Drs. Shontz and Wilson have
gained universal friendship and a
strong business standing in their
one year of social and business
career in Spokane. Their faith in
Spokane as city for their future
was demonstrated when each Of
them purchased Spokane city prop
erty and real estate. Such conf
dence. backed by the energy of OPP
timists Of talent In their line. Is the
secret of business success. and in

The Swedish labor forces are
both numerically and morally
stronger than before the general
strike, and it will be long time
before the manufacturers of that
country court another such contest

will be remembered, was forced by
the employers associations locking
out some 10000 workmen at one
time. The Swedish employers as

them in point of efficiency. Consid-

SPOKANE union MEN To
OPPOSE CONVICT LABOR
Want State Roads Builded by the Labor Of Taxpayer

Commissioner Bowlby Plans to Use Free Men Only in
Preparing for Men From Prison.

I'VE are going to use convict

ing to have them at work at the

near Marshall Junction, but l don't
think organized labor should COM
plain, as the work Is generally of a
nature for which free common la
boring men care little. State
Highway Commissioner Henry l..
Bowlby.
There is something radically
wrong. State Highway Commits
sioner Bowlby's view of the road
building problem is badly in error,
according to the thinking of the
laboring people, and he may have
trouble in keeping within the good
graces of the states organized labor
bodies. should he go ahead with the
plans to build the state roads with
the help of the convicts.
WILL USE FREE MEN FIRST.
1t is the plan of Mr.. Bowlby at
the present time to use free men
only in the construction of the
stone quarry buildings and stockade
on the line Of the Northern Pacific
near Marshall Junction After that
crushed rock will be loaded by the
convicts on the cars for shipment
to different parts Of central Wash
ington. They will be unloaded by
convict labor and the crushed rock
will be put into the roads by con-
vict labor.
Much opposition to this plan is
already voiced among the labor I'M
ionists here. and 1t is likely that the
matter will be carried before the
Spokane Sectional Central Labor
body. where in all probability reso-
lutions condemning the use Of con-
vict labor will be passed and for
warded to those in charge of the
work of improving the roads
throughout the state.

Representative in Congress From
This District,
DISCUSSED POLITICS
At the City Hall in Mineral Point
on Monday Night.

J. j. Kuelling presided at the Repub-
lican meeting at the city hall on Mon
day evening. Before introducing Con
gresham Kopp he called on Henry
James, Republican candidate for mem
Der of Assembly. Mr.. James declined
to make speech, but promised that If
elected he would try to represent the
district to the best of his ability.
Mr.. Kopp's opening was little out
of the ordinary. He tried to make out
case for high tariff taxation by holding
up to view great impending danger
through industrial competition from the
Japanese. 1t might be epitomized in a
line, The Jap will get you,-if you don't
watch out! A real progressive fears
the Special Interests, not the Japs.
On the whole, NJ. Kopp delivered a
very pleasant speech from the stand
point of Republican member of con-
gress afflicted with very mild form of
insurgency. He spoke principally of
the tariff, but he also touched on the
postal saving law, the white slave law,
and other recent acts of congress de-
serving of praise.
Mr.. Kopp very forcibly illustrated
the baneful arbitrary power exercised
by Speaker Cannon, by citing the case
of the removal of Congressman Cooper
from the chairmanShiD of the commit
tee on insular affairs. He acclaimed
for representative government, and for
a revolt against Cannonism. But it
must be remembered that Mr.. Kopp's
insurgency is of the milder sort, and
bounded by party lines. And the only
setback Cannonism has received to date
was in fight outside party lines. In
spite of all the milder sort of opposition
within party lines Cannonism might
endure from generation to generation.
