FIGHT FOR LIFE OF
SLAYER FURGUS0N MAY
BE MADEBY MINISTER

High Sheriff Henry has possibly en-
Listed the support or at least the in.
terest of Rev. Robert E. Smith In the
movement to save Henry F. Furguson.
the slayer of Ohlcer Abreu, from the
gallows.
Rev. Smith called a the territorial
prison yesterday and spent some time
In conversation with the young pris-
oner, who was been found guilty Of
murder in the first degree Gnde sen
teuced TO be hanged. Rev. Smith stat
ed this morning that be did not wish
TO give an opinion at this time OF
whether Furguson should be held re-
sponSible for his act.
Until have gone into the question
further l WILL not feel at liberty to
give an opinion, said Mr. Smith Il
shall certainly 80 into the case thor.
oughIy.'
While Mr.. Smith refuses to give a
positive statement on the point of
Furguson's mental competency, High
Sheriff Henry declares without res
ervation that the prisoner was rail
roaded through court" and that he is
an irresponsible.
Ever since he has been at the pris-
on he has been in a sort of dream"
said Sheriff Henry this morning. Il
feel that it would be nothing short Of
a crime to hang this man"
The high sheriff made this state
ment today after leaving the office Of
Secretary Mott-Smith. He said that
though he had taken up several mat
ters of an official character with the
secretary he had not made an appeal
for Furguson. With the arrival of
Governor Pinkham he said he would
present all the facts, with the opinion
Of experts to prove that Furguson is
such an incompetent as not to be re-
sponsible for his criminal acts.

TRAMPS.

According to the Worlds Work, the
railroad estimate of the number of
tramps in this country is about half a
million. These gentry prey upon the
railroads over which they journey
back and forth. They apparently con-
tribute nothing to society, except ap-
petites and subjects for magazine ar
ticles by few enterprising writer's.
Yet there is something to be said
in favor of the tramp. Like the multi
millionaire, he can eat but three meals
day, wear but one suit of clothes
at a time, and sleep in but one bed.
But, on the other hand, he cannot do
nearly the harm to our railroads that
lies within the scope of a millionaire.
He cannot load them with bond issues,
wreck their efficiency as common car
riers or rig the market with them.
The tramp cannot buy and sell legis-
latures, maintain an expensive lobby
in Congress, turn the course of cleo
tions, bring on wars, create slums, or
throttle the press. Is there not some
thing, therefore, to be said in favor of
the much maligned tramp?-Life.

Members of Charleston local spent
a most enjoyable day at Silverdale on
Sunday, the 10th, the occasion being
the Kitsap county picnic, given by
Silverdale and Bangor locals jointly.
The Shamrock" was chartered and
took the comrades and friends up the
bay, and all agreed that Dyes Inlet is
surely a beautiful place for a home.
Comrade Decker came over from
Seattle and gave a fine talk to the
assembled crowd. Comrade Martin,
of Bangor, gave some comic sketches,
one of a Swedish and one an Irish
convention.
Comrade Askeli, of Pearson, also
gave a talk, illustrating his remarks
with cartons drawn on the platform.
Mrs. Armstrong gave a brief talk on
the duty of organizing the women.
Comrade Decker closed the enjoy
able time with a republican speech
without words and a take-off on
"--" both of which caused roars
of laughter and hearty applause. To
the comrades in the county who failed

hearty time, and deserve to be disap-

of members paid up for August. Sen
timent is percolating the bellies, if not
the brain of this section, and | doubt
if there will be quite so many
pa(y) triots voting for reaction at next
years elections. We are. ever and
anon, urging our "naturalized" COM
RAIDS to get busy with full citizenship
papers for the ballot battle of 1914
and thereafter
At yesterdays meet we made final
arrangements for our Ries date on the
21st, and appointed committee to ar
range for a grand picnic at Bangor on
September 7th.
Also made arrangements for a tenn
porary hall, to be fitted up for meet
ings, rehearsing, and mutual improve
ment stunts during the fall, winter
and spring.
There is also a prospect of new
Socialist neighbors replacing one of
our Capitalist-minded Independent
farmers. May such swaps occur often
hereabouts.
A suggestion was also made to or
ganize a Finnish branch at Bangor,
there being several newcomers unable
as yet to get full benefit of English
proceedings.

The members of Local Charleston
were guilty of causing temporary sus-
pended animation, in their anatomy of
their financial secretary, Comrade
Mrs. Armstrong, when at the last
regular meeting they presented her
with a fountain pen, In recognition of
her services.
For the first time since joining the
local, Comrade Armstrong was COM
pletely "floored" and for a while could
give no sane or clear reply Ito the de-
light of the rest of the comrades.)
At the close of the meeting another
surprise was sprung in the way of
cake and fruit and all spent two or
three hours in jolly social time, with
cards. The comrade has now re-
covered, and is very proud of her new
possession.

WHO BUY FOR CASH

With the birth of the new year. the
launching of the International Cash
Savings Stamp Company, with head
quarters in the Atlanta Trust building,
an important addition is made to the
ranks Of Atlanta's leading business en-
terprises
The company. with an authorized
capital of 100000 is strictly an At
lanta concern, though it expects to eX-
tend operations throughout the United
States in the near future
1t is entering an entirely new bust
ness field one that is not only new ia
Atlanta, but to the entire country.
Cooperative savings is the plank
upon which the whole superstucture
of the new concern is welded together
Its system has received the indorse-
ment of many retail merchants in At
lanta and is making rapid additional
progress under the energetic manage
ment of the headquarters office
Merchants who have subscribed to
the International Cash Savings Stamp
Company's advertising system will
hereafter issue the company's stamps
with each cash purchase. acting under
tire old business principle that every
customer paying cash for goods is en-
titled to a cash discount. a prescribed
number of stamps win enable the pur-
chaser either to open a bank account
or redeem the stamps for cash The
stamps will pay interest to the Gus
toner on what he spends and the bank
where the account has been opened will
pay interest on the savings created
through the medium of the stamps.
The system will be operated through
the Atlanta Trust Company. the trus-
tee and designated depository of the
International Cash Savings Stamp
Company. While the concern is built
strictly on business principles. the
company's officers believe that the adj
vertising system win assist every one
in Atlanta either to begin putting aside
something or to increase savings al
