While many small towns over
the country are still squabbling
over the question of motion pic
ture shows and Sunday pictures,
the advanced church workers are
utilizing our modern educational
drama to preach and to teach,
The following from the Christian
Herald of April 80 is but sample
of the trend Of thought in the
great centers,
"The church is just beginning
to realize that moving pictures
can be made one Of the most val
liable of it's accessories. This new
art, which has unquestionably
come to stay, is capable of being
adapted to the teaching of the
grandest lessons of history, sacred
and secular. Protected from
moral blemishes, it will prove one
of the ehureh's most powerful
coadjutors in reaching the multi
tudes for good. 1t lends itself
admirably to the uses Of instruc-
ton and inspiration. Labor, trav-
ell, exploration, science, history
are all within its reach. 1t can be
made tributary to religion and
good citizenship and to instruc-

year. The market prices of the
foregoing products are in each
case higher today than the aver
age price of the last four years.
If protection makes the farmer
prosperous, how does it happen
that he is getting more for his
products today, under a democrat
ic low tariff bill, than he did at any
time under four years of republi-
can high protection.
The answer is simply that the
American farmer is practically
unaffected, in the value Of his
products, by tariffs high or low.
Protection will not make him rich
nor can a low tariff make him
poor. The law or supply and de-
mand is the only law affecting the
price of his products that he need
reckon with, and the advantages
of that law are all on his side.
The agricultural resources of the
world cannot be developed fast
enough to keep pace with the con-
stantly increasing demand hence
the American farmers prosperity
is assured regardless of tariffs.
On the other hand, the farmer
is a great beneficiary of a low
tariff. It takes the hand of mono
poly from his throat. It cheapens
the cost of his raw material, his
tools and machinery, the clothing
for himself and family, and the
countless other things he does not
produce but has. to buy. The
farmer has nothing to fear and a
great deal to gain from the demo-
cratic policy of tariff for revenue

ton in all that relates to the pro-
gress and betterment of the race.
We believe the time will come,
and soon, when our churches,
schools and lyceums will employ
the new art as one Of the main
adjuncts of their work, which will
simplify and greatly add to its
value and efficiency"

Those eastern manufacturing
monopolies which for years fought
for protection to American in
dustries" have now changed their
tune to reasonable protection"
and will carry on the fight to raise
tariff wall between the producer
and the consumer.
No enc disputes but that any in
dustry which deserves protection
ought to receive protection. But
where a factory sells cheaper
abroad than at home, who deserves
the protection?
That the corporate interests may
be fattened, the "poor farmer is
pointed out as the one who is be-
ing injured by low tariffs-yet the
name of that particular farmer is
never given. In reality, the farm
er who paid more for his machin-
cry on this side of the line than
his neighbor across the line, was
the man who needed protection
and who has at last secured it..
The farmer who makes a scien-
tifc business of farming, who
studies his business, who unites
with his fellow producers in
Oranges and Farmers Unions,
who assists in securing proper dis
tribution of products, is not the
man who needs protection-he
wants to be let alone, for no for
eign country can compete with
him successfully. And the man
who sits back and refuses to avail
himself of eduction, business as
sociation, and modern methods of
production, does not need protec-
tion-he needs a guardian.

April has been the month of
war in the United States. The
war Of the revolution, that with
Mexico in 1846-48, the Civil war,
and that with Spain in 1893, all
broke out in April. Then comes
the military mixup with Mexico
again, 139 years after the battles
of Lexington and Concord.

Eight years of tireless work, in
which dogged determination and
unfailing optimism had to combat
a long series of disappointments
and temporary defeats, have re-
vealed for Conrad Wolfe, the
Spokane mining engineer, the
largest known body Of gray cop
per ore in the world in his mine
near Chewelah. In July, 1906,
Mr.. Wolfe acquired a group of
claims near Chewelah, which he
started to develop under the
name of the United Copper Com
pany. His first financial venture
was to mortgage his home to work
the mine. Soon he inspired some
of his friends with his confidence,
and $4,000 more was sunk under
worked with Indifferent success
until 1909, when Mr.. Willie sue
ceeded in interesting Wallace G..
Collins of Seattle, pioneer
northwestern railroad man, who
furnished $4,000 for further
operations. This marked the
turning point in the history Of the
venture. New ore bodies were
opened, and machinery for treat
ing the ore was installed. Recent
ly the great ore body was en-
countered, and mining men declare
that Mr.. Wolfle's faith and ef-
forts have revealed the largest de-
posit of gray copper ore known
in the world.

The per capita expense, or aver
age expense of maintaining one in
mate one day has been reduced,
during the last year, at seven of
the eleven state institutions, it is
shown in a report submitted by the
board Of control to Governor Lis
ter. During the 10 years from
1902 to 1912, the per capita ex-
pense increased at every institu-
tion, being doubled in some in
stances. In three institutions the
per capita cost has continued in
creasing and in one it is almost
exactly the same.

That ancient G.. o. P. fairy tale
that protection was responsible
for the farmers prosperity has
been smashed to smithereens by
plain, cold market quotations
since the Underwood low tariff
bill became a law,
Corn under the democratic
tariff, last February, averaged l3
cents a bushel higher on the Chi
cago market than during the cor
responding month of 1913, under
the republican tariff. Wheat.
under the democratic tariff, in
February, 1914, averaged about
8 cents a bushel higher than it
averaged in February, 1913, under
the republican tariff law. Hogs
averaged As cents per hundred
weight higher in February, 1914,
than in February, 1913. Cattle
averaged 18 cents per hundred
weight higher in February this
year than in the same month last

With one half the present BIZ
ennium ended, reports of the f.
nances of executive departments
show what offices under Governor
Lister are keeping well within
their appropriations. If the pres
ent rate is continued during the
current year, practically every de-
partment will be able to return to
the state treasury a considerable
portion of its appropriation.
The industrial welfare commits
sion and state forester have, in
half the biennium, spent only one
fourth of their appropriations.
The public service commission and
the governors office have prac-
tically twice as much money re-
naming as has been spent already
and other departments show sim
liar records. The state fair alone
has spent more than its share but
will be under new control this
year.
The fish commissioners office.
for the first time in its history, has
collected more money than it has
spent. Collections of the grain
department, agricultural depart
ment and tax commission also are
well above the average.

One Of the most unique and
spectacular engineering feats ever
attempted in modern railroad
construction may be seen in Spo-
kane this week, when the actual
work of spanning the Spokane
falls is being started by O. W. h.
& N. engineers. Nine thousand
tons of steel trusses, towers and
girders are to be set upon the con-
crete piers already in place, and
the unusual physical conditions
are such that engineering genius
has been taxed to the utmost to
provide safe and reliable methods
for accomplishing the work.
Leaving a huge fill which skirts
the rivers banks, the line will be
built on a steel bridge above a
huge concrete gridge owned by
the city. The railroad bridge
will then be swung across the
river directly over the great
cataract in the Spokane river, and
$50 feet above the water. At this
point the river falls abruptly a
distance of Is feet in a rocky
gorge 125 feet deep. Thrills and
danger will attend every step in
the progress of spanning this
chasm, and none but men with
the strongest nerves will be per-
mitted to work high above the
boiling waters in placing and
riviting the huge steel girders.

Taxpayers of Stevens county
this year pay a total of $500 for
the privilege of having the repuD-
lican board of checkers with them
for a short time. This $500 is OF
course of no moment, as almost
any rancher has $500 or more
which he can easily throw away
after 16 years of republican adj
ministration in national affairs.

1t is strange that the grangers
of this county and state-regard-
less of party-are demanding the
abolition of the state accountancy
law. The producers pay all taxes

they are fully awake to some OF
the graft burdens which have been
cleverly fitted to their shoulders
by unscrupulous politicians.

proposes to reduce the congress

valiantly opposed by most of the
republican congressman of the
northwest. Congressman Hum

publicans, and Falconer, progress
sive, all voted for the old arrange
ment which gives them something
like $3.50 for travelling, while

Waldo G.. Paine of Spokane and
Arthur Gum of Wenatchee who
were appointed regents of Wash
ington state college by Lieutenant
Governor Hart during the absence
from the state of Governor Lister,
both declined the appointments.
The appointments were construed
generally as an attempt on the
part of the lieutenant governor to
insure E. A. Bryan retaining his
post as president of the college.
1t was at first believed Lieutenant
Governor Hart would not have
made the appointments in the alb
sence of the governor, without the
latter's approval. When Messrs.
Gum and Paine found Governor
Lister had not been consulted in
the matter, both declined the posi-
tions Governor Lister has can
celed his proposed trips for the
summer, and announces that he
will remain at his post of duty.
Evidently he will take no more
chances on what the republican
lieutenant governor might do.

ROAD ROLLER STRUCK
 BY TRAIN AT BALTIC.
Roller Demolished ard It's Engineer
 Badly Hurt.

The N. r., N. H. and H. passenger train bound from Providence to Will limantic, and due to arrive at the. Bal tic station at 11.53 Wednesday morn ing, struck the steam roller which Is being used on the new road to Han over, the shock throwing the roller several feet and the engineer of the roller on the bank beside the track.
 Eye witnesses of the accident des- cribed it to a Bulletin representative as follows
 The engineer of the steam roller by name Benjamin Greene, had full steam up and the roller was backing slow ly down the hill near the railroad crossing, which Is but a few yards from the station.
 The noise made by the engine of the roller apparently prevented the en- locomotive. The engineer of the To- comotive could not see the roller un- til he was almost upon it and then he applied the, brakes but in vain. The train was not going at very high rate of speed, as 1t was slowing up for the stop at the station, however. the roller had backed down onto the tracks so that the engine struck 1t . side blow. The roller was twisted halfway around by the shock, and thrown into the gutter beside the track. MT. Greene was thrown forcibly for several yards and when several peopls hurried to him, blood was pouring from wounds in his face. Doctors were at once summoned and the injured man was brought to the Stevens house where he was cared for His injuries consist of deep wounds about the head and it is fear ed that he Is injured internally The passengers on the train were consider ably shaken up but no one was se- riousiy injured. Once side of the To- comotive was badly damaged, where it struck the roller It was run onto a side track. and another engine was despatcf1ed from Willimantic, and the train proceeded on it's way.
 The wreck crew was sent for and arrived on the scene about two o'clock The steam derrick was used, and the ruined roller was lifted up onto the bank.
