the senate and house committees on La
Dor and Labor statistics will never for
get the scene. Picture to yourself the
stage settings. The house chamber
whom polite curiosity and idle indffer-
ence were divided. Among them a
sprinkling of labor leaders. In the gal
leries sat the men and women of toll
in eager expectancy for an important
subject was to be considered. The
workmen's compensation measure was
to be discussed. Upon the ability of its
champions to present the merits of this
bill hung perhaps the fate of industry.
For men will not tolerate much longer
an industrial system that sends men
in the vigor of health to their work in
the morning and sends them home a
bleeding and mangled victim of indus
try, ami makes the women and children
of the victims objects of charity, or
worse. just a common coal miner was
to argue for the bill What did he know
about the needs of industry He ap-
peared on the floor. A quiet appear
ing, little man, no different in appear
ance from the thousands of toilers of
the pit who risk their lives daily to
produce the generating force Of com
merce and industry, of civilization it
self. In his quiet voice he began to
speak. He took Up point by point the
arguments of the opposition. In Ian
guage correct, but dispasionate. he
shattered opostion. As he proceeded
with his argument his voice took on the
eloquence-not of the paid Fourth of
July orator. but of the man who has
LIVED the things he was trying to por-
tray. Here was a man who had felt
the shackles of industry; who had wiped
the death damp from the brother killed
in industry; who had borne the sad
news home to the dependent ones; who
knew the coldness of a worlds charity
Here was a man who had studied this
industrial problem in the school of ex-
perience. There be men, Mr.. Henriet-
ty, who can sway an audience to tears
or laughter by the magic wand of their
eloquenee. You are the peer of them
all. There were men in that cham
ber who in physical stature would have
made two of you, YOU were the men

credulous became strained and eager;
eyes were riveted upon the speaker as
he hammered home his facts. When
that measure passes, if to one man more
than another credit can be given for its
enactment, to the little, unassuming
dynamo of the coal mines will go that
crown.

Spokane must have mixed a love potion
in the cup of every delegate, for although
there are several localities in this great
commonwealth that would have been
glad to have the honor of entertaining
the next convention, they all with one
accord said, "After you, Spokane"
Spokane earned it, too. The city on
the other side of the foothills has a
body of fighting unionists second to
none, and if the convention was a re-
ward of merit alone, Spokane should
have it every year.

Not only have beef cattle decreased
in numbers, but the average age OF
marketing has been lowered. 50 true is
this that while market prices have ap-
preciated, the farm value created per
head has actually decliued. The clean
up of large range herds, resulting in
the marketing of thousands of imma-
ture steers and females of all ages, has
been q factor in the decrease which
cannot easily be replaced. The ex-
banded marketing of veal IS another.

production, some consumers are urR.

occurred at Sianfu. The legations be

There were forty foreigners in Sian

Only Chinese reports have been re-

has been no Geographic or postal com.

three weeks.
The Swedish missionaries, Messrs
Sandberg and Erickson, arrived here
from Tientsin. They said a telegram
had been received from Sianfu, before
their departure from Southern Shensi
telling of the murder of Mrs. Beck
man, schoolmistress, and five foreign
children.
Many Chinese girls in Miss Beclzing'

Manchus because of their big feet
were reported to have been murdered
A German, Philip Manners, who is in
the Chinese postal service, was among
others killed.
Province Strongly Anti-Foreign.
Messrs. Sandberg and Erickson say
that a MAGISTRATE in their town offered
them $500 each to leave the province.
Shensi probably is the most anti
foreign province in China proper, not

of the foreign troops in 1900.

URGES CONTROL BY BUREAU
Roosevelt Discusses Methods Of Regu-
iatinq Trusts.

New York, Nov. 17.-Recent litiga-
ton and legislation to regulate the
trusts is discussed and remedy to
meet the present situation is suggest
I'd by Theodore Roosevelt In an edi-
torial entitled 1.-THE Trust, the People
and the Square Deal" published in the
Outlook.
"The suit against the steel trust by
the government" Mr.. Roosevelt be-
gins, has brought wildly before our
people the need of reducing to order
our chaotic government policy as re-
CARDS business"
He concludes with the following
recommendation:
1.-The national government exercises
control over Interstate commerce rail-
ways and it can, in similar fashion,
through an appropriate governmental
body, exercise control over all indus
trial organizations engaged in inter
state commerce. This control should
be exercised, not by the courts, but by
an administrative bureau or board
such as the bureau OF corporations or
the interstate commerce commission;
ior the courts cannot, with advantage,
permanently perform executive and
administrative functions"

annual session of the Transmississippi

direction" It was recommended that

Colonel Roosevelt Attacks Tatt's

The breach opened cannot be closed,
according to general belief, before

The political phase of the attack

article is looked on as marking q COM

scarcely fail to stir up resentment at
