McMANIGAL TELLS GRAND JURY THAT DYNAMITMRS WERE TO
 OPERATE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
WOMAN TO TESTIFY
Is Said to Have Overheard Conver. sations Between McNamara and
 Other Labor Leaders.

Indianapolis, Dec. 16.-That John J. McNamara had planned to employ more men in his dynamtting activities so that simultaneous explosions ill all parts of the country, was the state ment in the confession of Ortie K. Me- Manigal, on which the Federal grand jury deliberated chiefly today.
 According to McManigal, John ]. McNamara had explosions occur n Omaha and Columbus, Indiana, on the same night, the work being done by McManigal and J, B. McNamara. l. was soon after this job. McManigal said. that John J, McNamara said to hi,n:
 T would like to get six of those good fellows. Pm going to station them around the country and l am going to have explosions come off simultaneously so they will wonder how the fellow could be in all the cities at once. That ought to make them sit up and take notice."
 The grand jury also inquired into the relations of the S1,o00 paid
 monthly to John J. McNamafa by the
 International Association of Bridge
 and Structural Iron Workers for "or-
 ganizing services' and the fees given
 to McManigal. An employe of a liy-
 cry stable in Muncie testified that the dynamite used for explosions in Peo
 ria, Illinois, was moved by McMani
 gal under the name of J. w. McGraw
 of Albany, Indiana, to his storehous
 in Muncie by horse and wagon. Ther'
 were 100 quarts on the road whici
 McManigal afterwards said were use, | 1 in Peoria.

The Cost Of Armed Peace

Almost simultaneously with Presi-
dent Rosevelt's late reference to the
1amous tour of battleships during
his administration. Representative
Henry T. Rainey when speaking on
the naval appropriation bill said the
cost of the voyage was $13 400 .572
and the amount already expended
for repairs was So, 406. 1923 and that
the bill pending called for 81. 125, 600
more, making total of SIS, 191 1886.
Mr. Rainey finds from official docu-
ments that there are now warshlps
which cost Sl38, 100000 which are
declared worthless and that the
cost of past wars and preparations
for future wars has been 70 per cent
If the total revenues of the United
states. Mr.. Rainey asks. lis it any
wonder that with this colossal ex-
nenditure of the peoples money for
unproductive purposes the cost OF
living in this country is becoming
almost prohibitive?" To this econ
omic side Of the peace through arbi-
tration question the expenditure for
the army should be added and then
Mr.. Rainey's question might be re-
peated with increased wonderment.
Then still holding to the economic
view and thinking of the enormous
sacrifi ce ofJives and the prices paid
by railroads when one is accidentally
killed, the cost of armed peace could
hardly be read in figures in ones
life time of three score years and
ten.
Now looking at the tragic side
which no pen can give so much as
shadow of, for there must always
be some sun to produce shadow.
The Islander does not wonder that
president Taft, whom Andrew
Carnegie calls" the foremost apostle
Of peace" is so earnestly urging the
nations of the world to join in
arbitration treaties. Mr.. Carnegie
himself appears to be quite as
enthusiastic for arbitration as Presi-
dent Taft is. His words are not idle
talk and together with them he
makes money talk in most convincing
tones. Mr.. Carnegie is certainly
entitled to place beside President
Taft at the head of the long pro-
cession Of peace by arbitration advo-
Gates.

Its hardly in body's power to
keep at times frae being sour to
see how things are shared. Ac-
cording to newspaper reports the
city council of Everett has adopted
"a project which almost amounts to
a notice to wage earners to take up
their beds and skip out. The coun-
ell has imposed tax upon every
body in the city who earns or at
tempts to earn money every indus
every business every profess
sion even including minister's of the
gospel and hospitals for the sick.
Common laborers are assessed one
days pay for the blessed privilege of
working. And this is not all. In
directly the merchants tax is added
to the wage earner's bills, so is the
landlords to his house rent; in short
the price of everything the poor man
buys is increased. Can he stand it?

longer than to say we feel like
scolding the men who favored the
amendment, for to us it seems I'M
business like. But one should not
be blamed for what one don't know,
any more than one should be blamed
for what one does know. Our re-
marks today are suggested by criti-
cisms of these who do not think as we
do, and also encouragement from
those who agree with us. Some
would adhere to the 'any old way"
others to up to date and scientific
methods. Since it seems likely that
for two years at least county COM
missioners must take the law as it
now is for guide, it. is hoped they
will not disregard the sections relat-
ing to the duties of county engineers.
Make the county engineer the real
general supervisor of all the roads,
as the law contemplates.. Pay him
to supervise district supervisors
Any man fit to direct the manual
labor would surely be glad to have
the plans laid out for him and would
be pl eased rather than offended to
have his work inspected. 1t would
relieve him largely from criticisms
about errors of judgment and be
more agreeable and therefore easier
working by scientific methods. We
are not urging this in the interest
of any particular man. We ale not
saying that the present incumbent
OF this important office would prove
equal to the occasion, though if we
didn't think he would we wouldn't
urge the point now. tbs the sys-
TEN and not the man we have in
mind. Under this system they
need not be long continued waste
as there has been in the past. County
commissioners have power to shut
the gate when the machinery runs
too fast.

Before leaving his home here to
go to Bellingham to undergo the
operation which he feared might
terminate fatally, the late Mr.. Fred
N. Culver, publisher of the Islander,
arranged with his father Mr.. G. N.
Culver, to take charge Of the paper
as its editor and manager until such
time as other arrangements should
be made. He also transferred the
newspaper property to his wife by
bill of sale and Mr.. G. N. Culver
will continue to act for her as the
papers editor and manager in COM
pliance with her wishes and in &C.
cordance with his promise to his son.
AS fast as it is possible to do so
statements will be mailed to all per-
sons indebted to the paper and
prompt settlements of their accounts
will be greatly appreciated.
The Islander is an established. in
stitution of the county, with a re-
cord of more than twenty years in
the service of its people. Appre-
ciating their aid and grateful for
their sympathy in this time of sore
distress, the present manager trusts
that the good friends Of the paper
will remain steadfast in their sup
port and continue their patronage
and good will to the widow and the
fatherless.

In particular, the cities of this

It is time that the Importance OF
this matter was better understood

In this country, for instance,
there is the POSSIBILITY OF

now goes abroad principally. The
great sum Of money that is being
expended for the construction of
the Panama canal is well invested,
and GREAT OPPORTUNITIES

In the last weeks issue of the Is

were made. One of the suggestions
therein contained was found TO he
useless before the paper went to
press, as we admitted having dis
covered after it was too late to cnt II
out. 1t was the one urging that
more of the road work be let nv

amended the road law SO that COM

Concerning the report published
the Bellingham Herald last week
that he would "soon take up his
residence in Bellingham, which
statement, as part Of the Herald
report of the death Of Fred N. chi.
yer, was lepublished in the Islander
with this papers denial. O. H. Cul.
yer, in answer to an inquiry from
the editor, says: .'The Islander was
correct in expressing the belief that
l "do not contemplate removal to
Bellingham or anywhere else". at
least not at present. 1t is of course
possible that some contingency
might arise which would cause me
to change my residence but | do not
anticipate doing so in the near
future. The report was probably
based upon a remark / made to the
manager of the Herald, with whom
my brother and ! were associated in
business twenty years ago, to the
effect that / sometimes thought |
might have to move my family to
Bellingham on account of lack of
adequate school facilities here.
