MORE PEACE TREATIES

In the midst Of The fierce war
in Europe. the United States on
Tuesday of this week signed
treaties of peace with Great Bri-
tain, France. Spain and China.
The pacts are similar to the t9
already ratified by the senate, are
regarded by President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan as practically a
guarantee against war, as they
provide that all disputes be sub
mitted to a permanent commits
sion for investigation during a
period of one year before any ma
tion is free to engage in hOstili-
ties. By that time they will have
cooled off enough to see a better
way out than the WAR route.

One OF WahpetOn's most Wide-
awake and progressive business
firms is that of Messrs. Onstad g.
Schmitt, furniture dealers. They
have a large assortment of all
kinds of up-to-date furniture
which they are selling at
most reasonable prices. They al
so have a fine new hearse and an
undertaken ready to answer calls

other of their specialties and they
guarantee all work in this line.
Why wait for a foreign piano tun-

equally good, and perhaps still
better one right here at home.

LACK OF WITNESSES
To identify Alleged Suspects
Said to Be the Main Reason;
One indictment for Felony
Not Given Out; investigation
Has Not Yet Been Con-
Cluded.
(By the Associated Press

ought Mich, Jan. 24.-Not .
true bilI' was reported to-day by The
special grand jury which mas been in
y~estigating the alleged kidnapping Il
forcible deportation OF Charles H
Mover and James Tanner. officials OF
he Western Federation OF Miners or
the night Of December 2s.
Seventeen citizens were named in
the presentment. which covered only
the alleged assault on Meyer in Han
cock. It developed that Special Pros
ecutor Nichols did not seek an in
dictment for the actual deportation
Of Mover and Chas. n. Tanner. Four
other mo true bills in cases grove
ing out of strike disorders were pre-
sented. One true bill was returned.
but as the charge is a felony, It was
not made public.
Mr.. Nichols said afterwards he had
explained to the jury that in his opin-
ion the statute or kidnapping did not
apply to h deportation Of Meyer and
Tanner because the union men were
not forcibly sent out Of the State but
were left to take their own course
this side Of the State line, and because
there could be nc possible claim hat
there was any intent to conffne them
against their will within the State or
to hold them in service outside the
State.
Twenty-seven witnesses were ex-
amined in the Meyer case and h
| jury de1iberated rel it for two days
The impoSibility Of getting wit
nesses to identify the men in the
crowd that assaulted Meyer is said
to have been the main reason a snc
true bin' was returned in the case.
Although the Meyer incident is
closed, SO far as the special grand
jury is concerned, the body has not
completed its investigation OF dis
orders resulting from b copper
mines strike. It will continue in ses-
sion until Wednesday.

hundred and forty three dollars in

interestd i'm the outcome of the cleo
ton this fall than for many years
All of them will feel the burden OF this
increased taxation. When you come
to add 10 our state taxes the increased
burden of our share in National Def
cheney OF one hundred million dollars,
for less than one year under this policy
of Free Trade, which is estimated by
a Democratic Senator will be three
hundred million dollars before the two
years are passed, can you, "a voter. af-

aristocrat and my friends. like myself
are among the common people. No
lumber baron or sugar stock magnate
has any sympathy with us and why
should we vote for one. Two years
ago nearly two-thirds OF the voters of
the eighth district voted against Mr..
Fordney but the vote was divided be-
tween two candidates and he slipped
in. Is he any different now? He
omits his dialogue on wool but still
wants protection on his lumber. on
ten cent sugar. and occasionally at
tends n session of congress. He OPP
posed the income tax which was in
tended to tighten the burden OF taxa
ton on the poor. He opposed the
farmer and laboring man in the anti
trust fight. He tried to hinder Presf-
dent Wilson and stir up war in Mexico.
He has consistently served the trusts
and corporations for fourteen years,
and he can't serve two masters.
His most ardent admirer is here
respectfully asked 10 find in the con-
gressional record one sensible, logical,
connected speech. See If his labored
attempts have not been where some
trust product has been disturbed.
AS between Mr. Fordney and a dem
ocrat, the latter would give the change
the district demands and keep one
man from holding office for life. 1t is
not possible to get better times by
voting for standpatters who are our
enemies.
The tariff is hardly an issue at the
present time, as European countries
have no exports TO send US and their
laborers are engaged in war. The
democrats will have control of the
next house OF representatives, for two
years more at least. SO that nothing
would be gained by voting against the
Democrats I'M this election.
