COMPENSATION BILL DENOUNCED.
Senator Reed Declared the Measure to bs
Revolutionary Legislation.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Reed Of Missouri, resuming his
speech on the workman's compen-
sation bill in the Senate today,
denounced the measure as the
most revolutionary legislation M.
dertaken for 20 years.
He said it would wipe cut all
common law rights as we'll a
State statutes and acts of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Reed asserted that the Ia
Dor organization, as such, had
had no opportunity to pass upon
the merits of the pending bill,
aud took the position that no true
friend of organized labor, such as
himself, could afford to vote tor
it in the absence of their approv-
al.
Senator Oyerman, interrupting,
said that railroad men who had
come to Washington to protest
against the bill when it was be-
fore the judiciary committee,
had failed even to enter the COM
mittee room. He stated that one
of these men said to him:
Il can't go in, I have been
working for the railroads 20 years
and if l 90 in and make a protest
l will lose my insurance and be
expelled from my order"
Mr.. Reed replied that this was
evidence that the men had been
corrupted by the railroads,
which he said, would be saved
many millions by the enactment
of the proposed law. He de-
olared that three out of four Of
the executive heads of the railway
orders had misrepresented the
measure.

TAFT'S FINISH PREDICTED.
The Men Who Pdshed Him Into the Fight
Now Putting on Breaks.

Washington. May 8.-Mr.
Taft's managers, after taking
deep thought, have decided that
there is just one way to get rid of
him as q candidate and that is to
deadlock the convention.
Z While Mr.. Taft, with a rem
nant of confidence is lusily lam.
basting Colonel Roosevelt in
Maryland, tomorrow, the gentle.
men whom he fancies are behind
him will be bending all their
strategy toward his elimination {.
The firm of Penrose, Root,
Crane aud Smoot are now firmly
convinced that the president is no
longer necessary. In fact they
regard that his candidacy would
be positive danger to the party
in view of his failure to win a de-
cisive victory in Massachusetts.
Naturally they are not going to
tell him so long as he can still
use his great Office to draw cam
paign crowds with. But it is
more than likely that the 81O
delegates still to be chosen to the
convention will be so distributed
as to make Mr.. Taft's nomination
impossible. Aud this d1stribu.
tior will be with the connivance
of the mon who put Mr.. Taft into
the race and who, up to the Illi-
nois and Pennsylvania disasters,
we're doing their best to nominate
him.
The only thing that fogs this
situation is the lack cf q man to
take Mr.. Taft's place in the race
for the nomination.

A FOOLISH RESOLUTION.
Man Who Made It Broke 1t After rs Years.

Peter Robideaux has at last
broken the resolution he made in
1887 to never reopen the store he
then closed. 1t was the hardest
thing Robideaux ever did to
break that resolution, but his
cattle were starving, while piled
away in the back end of the big
building we're bales of hay which
would keep them alive. 1t took
two days for Robideaux to break
his resolution. When he could
stand the piteous lowing of the
cattle no longer. He turned the
rusty key in the rusty old lock,
tumbled out the bales and locked
the door again.
Although it had been stored
away 25 years the hay still was
tit to eat.
Rotideaux came to Wallace
early In the sixties, ahead of the
railroad, aud took up a claim,
Afterwards working on the grade.
When lie syt slough money he

lngs until. in 1880, be had the
largest store between Kansas City
and Denver. Then came the
drought, the hot winds and bard
times, and Wallace began to fade
away until it was only a ghost of
it's folmer self. Robideaux 8
trade dropped off steadily aud
finally. one day in 1887, he sat
from sunrise to sunset and not
a person crossed the threshold of
his store. That night he locked
the store, turned his back on the
$25, 600 stock of goods within and
declared he nevsr would set foot
inside it again. And Robideaux
kept that resolution. Costly
harness aud saddles rotted away,
clothing became nests of moths,
groceries dried up or became prey
for worms, hardware and cutlery
turned to rust and still Robideaux
kept his resolution. When he
wanted anything he bought it
somewhere else. Often members
of his family tried to prevail upon
him to sell she stock or use what
part Of it the family might need,
but he never would,
Robideaux was wealthy, owning
large areas of land in this section,
and big and well-stocked ranch
northeast of Wallace. When he
closed the store he retired to the
ranch and has lived there since

Baltimore, June 26.-Big Ollie
James, Senator-elect from Kentucky,
has been selected by the Committee
on Permanent Organization to pre-
side over the National Democratic
Convention as permanent chairman
The honor went to him without a
dissenting vote
81 would not have accepted the
recommendation at the hands of the
Committee on Permanent Organiza-
ton had it not been rendered to me
by the unanimous vote of the com
mittee," Mr.. James said. Il natur-
ally feel proud of the honor that
has been conferred upon me-"
Besides Senator-elect James
name, those Of Gov. John Burke, of
North Dakota; Senator John w.
Kern, of Indiana, and Theodore
Bell, of California, were placed in
nomination before the Committee
on Permanent Organization for per-
Kehoe, of Kentucky, informed Com
mitteeman Barr, OF Rhode Island,
that Senator Kern had been made
chairman of the Resolutions Com
mittee, thus eliminating the Indi-
ana man from the race for the per-
manent Craftsmanship of the con-
yantiap committeeman KiraAo1T
of Maine. then withdrew the name
of Gov. Burke, after which the name
of Mr.. Bell was withdrawn, leaving
Senator-elect James without oppo-
sition. 1t is said that before the
name eof Senator-elect James or
those of the others mentioned were
placed in nomination before the
committee, that body offered the
permanent Craftsmanship to Mr.
Bryan, but he declined to accept it.

were representatives from Tonnes
see, Iowa, Indiana, Montana, Arizo-
ma, California, Connecticut, New
York, Texas and Ohio, respectively.
Because Trey WOodson, secretary
of the National Committee, and
temporary secretary of the conven-
ton, is a Kentuckian, another was
agreed upon by the Organization
for permanent secretary of the con-
vention, the members taking the po-
sition that it would be bad politics
to give too much to Kentucky. Mr..
Woodson, who was defeated in his
race for National Committeeman
from Kentucky by John C. C. Mayo,
Will continue as secretary of the
National Committee until after the
convention has been adjourned sine
die, when the newly-elecred Nation
al Committeeman will meet and or
ganize.
Gov. James B. McCreary, chair
man of the Kentucky delegation,
said to-day that the selection OF
Senator-elect James by the Organi-
cation Committee was a happy one.
His name was placed in nomi-
nation by j. n. Kehoe, named as
Kentucky's representative on the
Permanent Organization Committee
by my friends who are in the ma
jority," the Governor said. THAT
which tends to make Mr.. James the
logical man for the place is the fact
that he is a warm personal friend
of Mr.. Bryan, who went down to
defeat yesterday for temporary
chairman, and is one of the original

Big Gravel Contract.

The Caldwell Blab says: The
Idaho Railway. Light and Power
Co. have let the contract for the
transporting of thousand ears of
cement gravel over the Caldwell
Traction Co.'S line from point six
miles south of Caldwell. The com :
pany will erect an arrangement for
the quick loading of cars at the
gravel pit and the gravel will be
used for ballasting their interur-
ban lines. 1t is suggested that
this would be good opportunity
for Caldwell to gravel her streets
along the electric lines in our city.
Mr.. Sebree, manager of the Cald-
well Traction Co, says that he will
give the city very attractive rate
for hauling the gravel over his
line and the gravel can be procur-
ed at about 30 cents a car at the
pit. The city council is inclined
to gravel Kimba avenue and
Cleveland and Arthur streets.
