Stagnation and Death.


the man who pledged Lewiston
thirty days of his time 10 lead
them out of the woods of hoot-
owls and bats into the pastures
OF prosperity and progress, is in
our city tonight to meet the cit
izDes and as far as possible in
the brief space of time allotted
to him, to direct them along the
same road to improved condi-
tions. The pledge to Lewiston
applies to all the country contig
nous or tributary to that city,
henca Mr.. Richardson's trip to
Grangeville and other Prairie
towns. t
Already under the inspiring in
flpence of Tom Richardson the
citizens of Lewiston have pledged
over $21 900 annually for two
years toward publicity work for
that city and tributary country.
Mr.. Richardson is a thoroughly
equipped, fully inspired and pro,
perly ordained preacher of the
get together gospel, and under
his efficient ministrations it is
the purpose to bring all the coun-
try surrounding Lewiston into
one united and thoroughly drill
ed army of workers for the com
mon good, with all "knockers" +"
either converted or killed off.
Grangeville and all the other
towns of the Prairie, Salmon ri
yer and Clearwater countries,
should get into this movement in
earnest, and not pass up the op-
poItunity thus afforded with in
difference. The nurturing and
developement of a spirit of gem
uine good fellowship means as
much or more to this town and
community than any other, for
we are some what isolated, in
the sense that adj newcomers to
the Prairie country must pass
through the other towns to get
here, and they have the first
chance to present the claims and
advantages of their country to
the homeseeker and to locate him
or spoil our chance by knocking.
One of Mr.. Richardson's purpos-
es is to eliminate all disposition
to knock and in its place instill
the booster spirit. Don't you be-
lieve in that kind of getting to-
gther? If so, get ready to join
the army of promoters, and be-
come full fledged booster for
the country, and incidently youl
self.
\ Owing to the freight wreck
and the delay of the passenger
train bringing Tom Richardson
to Grangeville, the meeting foi
Thursday night was postponed
until II a. m. Friday at which
time large audience listened tC
the stirring plea for progress ant
developement, and many pledges
from $40 per month on dowI
were taken, the lead off at that
sum being made by Evan Evans
A live committee has been ap-
pointed to carry on the solicit
ing. Richardson left for Cotton
wood at IL rs on the delayed re-
turning passenger train, where h

Samuel Gompers
Much AStOniShed!

New York, Dec, 1T am astounded.
l am astounded, My credulity has been
imposed upon. 1t is a bolt out of a
clear sky"
The EXPLANATIONS We're those of Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, when add
vised. tonight, of the pleas of guilty in
the Mcnamara case.
Mr.. Gompers, who was on his way
from Washington, was dosing in d
Pullman car when he was awakened at
New Jersey station by An Associat-
ed Press representative. He retired to
the rear of the car where there was a
better light and read carefully the ac
counts of the sensational developments
in the Los Angeles dynamiting cases
which were shown to him.
The veteran labor leader was vislbly
affected as he read of the tense scenes
in the court room AT Los Angeles,
whore the men in whose defence he
had spoken and worked SO untiringly,
admitted their guilt. Tears came into
his eyes and the hand that held the
typed pages shook. He said nothing
however. until he had finished the story
and then he broke forth with his ex-
carnations of establishment and indig-
nation
If this is all true my credulity has
been imposed upon" he declared. 80
am astonished at this news. We have
had he graVest assurance given to III
by everyone connected with the trial
either directly or Indirectly, that these
men We're innocent"
Mr.. Gompers asserted with the great.
est emphasis that not the slightest hint
OF any such change as today's in the
plans of the defence of the McNamaras
had previously reached him.
Asked if he would have anything to
say about the prisoners personally, the
labor leader replied:

"What effect do you imagine this
will have on the labor unions"' was
queried To this Mr.. Gompers snapped

Los Angeles, Dec. 1.-Gen.. Harrison
Gray Otis, publisher of the Times, is

that he had never denied the right of

accused men to confess.

The statement charges an alliance
between Socialist and trade unionism
and of the confessions it says:
1.-The result of the confessions Of the
Mcnamara brothers In open court Is
a great triumph for truth and law. IL
Is proof of what we suspected from the
outset; that this unexampled crime
was inspired by organized labor. or
was done by desperate members OF
organized labor. who knew beforehand
that they would have the sympathy
of their lawless fellows; their lawless

German Blocking
OF Yankee Plans.

Berlin, Dec. Taking eegnizance
of the impression in the United States
that German diplomacy is responsible
for the delay in the American railway
project in Asia Minor being approved
by the Turkish Parliament, the semi
official VOLTS Telegraph Bureau, has
been authorized to say:
THE difficulties encountered by the
project lie in the hardly realizabe
fundamental principles of the scheme
itself. The German interests whose
rights would be affected by the pro-
ieet in one way or another up to the
present, have observed an essentially
waiting attitude; at any rate for
moro than year they have undertake
en- no steps bearing on the Chester
project. The same is the case as re-
CARDS German diplomacy.
Contrary to the impression convey
ed by reports. German interests by
all means welcome the Investment of
capital of other countries, especially
of America, in Asiatic Turkey. if only
for the reason that the economic pro-
gress achieved by such investments
would rebound to the benefit of the
railroads already in existence or in
process of construction, which rail-
breads are ,being operated chiefly with

Teheran Persia, Dec. 1.-The Ma

a cablegram from British Foreign
Minister Sir Edward Grey was pre-
scented to the Assembly during its sit
tings The dispatch urgently advised
compliance with the Russian demands
but some of the members pointed out
that England's advice had hitherto
generally led to Persian humiliation.
They believed that Sir Edward Grey
had been misinformed and emphati-
eally asserted that Russian injustice
had become intolerabe. They thought
that resistance on the part of the Per
sian government to the Russian de-
mands would attract foreign attention
and lead to an impartial inquiry. Com
pliance on the other hand would be
construed as a sign of abjeet coward
ice and would mean national suicide.

it was impossible for Persia ever to

would be Gods will.
