A Bit of History

Congressman J. w. Bryan, Progress
sive, OF this state, has introduced a
bill in Congress proposing that the
government take over the Colorado
mines as consequence of the recent
troubles and appalling happenings be.
tween operators and employees in the
centennial state.
In this connection the following
from Col. Theodore Roosevelts Chap
ters of Possible Autobiography n
regard to a similar situation is inter-
eSting:
THE method of action upon which
had determined in the last resort
vania to ask me to keep order Then
would put in the army under the
command of some first-rate general.
would instruct this general to keep
absolute order taking any steps
whatever that were necessary to pre-
vent interference by the strikers or
their sympathizers with men who
wanted to work.
Il would also instruct him to dis
possess the operators and run the
mines as a receiver until such time as
the commission might make it's report,
and until l, as president, might issue
further orders in view of this report.
Another interesting bit is to be
found in President Wilson's "Epociis
of American History" which shows
what the then college president
thought of the anthracite coal strike
in 1902
by the presidents mediation in the
great anthracite coal strike in Octo-
Der, 1902, the country was instructed
to recognize that dangerous insOience
of aggregated capital, that needless
ness of public rights, which is signi-
fled by the term 'plutocracy.'

PrOgressives i'm the Ascendency.

There appeared in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer one day last week an
alleged interview with o. c. Moore.
of Spokane, in which that political
promoter bad good deal to say
about the amalgamation of the Pro-
gressive and Republican parties
Moore was long ago eliminated from
the cOunsels of sincere and truly
progressive men. He was at one
time law partner of Senator POin-
dexter, but since he has SO unmis-
takably shown his insincerity and ut
terly selfish motives, he has been
publicly repudiated by the senator,
and he represents nobody but him.
self.
The PrOgressives of Spokane
county are not going back to the
Republican household. Mr.. Moore to
the contrary Notwithstanding. They
have severed connection once and for
all since the crime at Aberdeen was
perpetrated. Nearly 1900 voters
left the G. o. P. in Spokane county
in 1912. The PrOgressives in SpO-
kane are stronger than ever and are
working in perfect harmony. They
will elect every Progressive candi-
date on the county and Legislative
tickets this fall.
After many weeks of PROSECUTING,
the Republicans there have induced
five-just five, no more-Progres-
sives to return to the old party.
Regarding the unfounded reports
sent out by Old Crow Moore, and as
sertiOns of a similar nature made by
standpat papers of Western Wash
ington, l.. Roy Slater, of Spokane.
chairman of the Progressive State
Organization, in an interview says:
1.-The prOgressives of this county
have been extremely patient under
the trying misrepresentation of the
handful of republicans here during
the lash so days who have been her
aiding amalgamation. Deliberate
falsehOOds are printed day after
day, reports of great defectiOns in
the progressive ranks, immense get
together meetings have been an
nOunced from time to time, yet the
whole thing resolves itself into the
fact that five men out of nearly II
600 who left the republican party in
Spokane county in 1912 have allied
themselves with mOngrel organiza-
ti0n known as Lincoln Republican
club, whose mission is to furnish a
haven for disappointed progressives
and cover for republicans who are
ashamed of their leaders. 1t is only
fair to assume that if there were any
more than five they would have
been trotted to the front.
''In this city where the facts are
known the whole thing is regarded
as a farce. But it is unfair to the
progressives in outside counties to
read this twaddle day after day with
out having it denied.
"William Prendergast of New
York, who was sent here by Wesley
Jones to make speeches, was unable
to get republican meetings in any
other cities outside of Spokane and
Seattle.
1T was widely advertised in local
newspapers that speaking dates
could be had by communicating
with local leaders. Desperate eff
forts were made to arrange meet
ings for him in Walla Walla. North
Yakima and Ellensburg, but the de-
mand was not forthcoming.
1.-The attempt was renewed on the
West Side, but although he was
scheduled to speak in this state for
