extensive burn, reaching from the knee
up it's side and out its arm and side.
Its clothing caught on fire at the wash

charge and we hope will soon have his
little patient up and about again. The
burn is not thought to be Of great
depth.

stated that he was coming back to Pick
ems sometime before the election and
speak again.
Robert A. Cooper was the last cand-
idate for governor to speak, and he
spoke with difficulty as the crowd was
growing restless and beginning to dis
perse. He stressed education and equal
enforcement of the law and criticised
the way in which scholarships and tut
tlons are handled at the state colleges.
He said that he wore no mans collar
and promised no Imam any favor and
that if elected he would have no pre-
election pledges to fill. His was one of
the best speeches of the day and we re-

WASHINGTON STATE
8-H0UR LAW UPHELD

Judge Smith of the King county
court of Seattle has ruled that the
state eight-hour public works law is
legal and that the commissioners of
This county have the right to establish
minimum wage Of $2.25 g. day for
county road work.
The so-called ':stat1on work" sys-
tenn Of sub-letting road contracts was
declared to be an evasion of the eight
hour law and the court called atten-
ton to the contract signed by litter
ate workers who did not know what
they were signing. This was held to
be contrary to public policy and was
an attempt to defeat the plain intent
OF the state law and the minimum
wage order of the county commission
ers. The road contractors were pros
ecuted by Labor Commissioner Olson
and other state officials, who insist
that a contrary ruling recently made
by Judge Wright of the Thurston
county superior court was not a fair
test, as that case was not tried on
Its merits and would not, therefore.
DO upheld by the state supreme court.
Under the Wright decision large en-
ployers Of labor in logging and other
industries could call their workers
'sub-contractors" and defeat the
workmen's compensation law.
State officials are confident that the
decision Of Judge Smith will be upheld
by the state supreme court, if the
contractors appeal.

COMPTROLLER SAYS
BANKS ARE USURIOUS

New laws to protect borrowers from
usurious banks is urged by Comptrol-
Ter Of the Currency Williams in his
annual report. It is suggested that
the department of justice be permitted
to bring suit against these offending
banks on information furnished by
the comptroller's office.
To support this plea is incorpor-
ated sworn statements from national
banks in Texas. Georgia, Oklahoma
and Louisiana, showing that they
have been lending money at rates Of
from 20 to 1000 per cent. A vo-
luminous amount of correspondence
between the comptroller and banks
is reprinted to show that there have
been many shallow attempts to justi-
fy usurious charges.
One bank president sought to de-
fend usury on the ground that 1T
is a long established practice" while
others declared it meant failure to
small banks.
The comptroller, however, points
out that no bank has been forced out
of business because it was compelled

C0L0RADo's STRIKE
LAW HURTS WORKERS

At the last session Of the Colorado
legislature the state industrial COM
mission was created. One section of
this law provides that employers and
employees shall give at least 80 days.
notice before making any change in
working conditions. The law further
provides that in case the Industrial
commission is Investigating a question
OF this character, and an EMPLOYER
forces a lockout or the employees
strike, the party or parties are guilty
of a. misdemeanor and liable to a,
fine of not more than 500.
Under this act strikes are ILLEGAL
until the commission makes It's award.
Writing in the Tailor, official mag
azfne of the Journeymen Tailors'
union, Organizer Biggs, located in
Denver, expresses his opinion of the
act:
If the negroes Of Tennessee should
ask for better wages or conditions at
the beginning of the cotton picking
season, and were restrained from en-
forcing their demands, and were COM
PEELED to continue working until the
season was over and the cotton picked.
and were then given hearing on the
reasonableness of their demand, they
would be in much the same position
as are the journeymen tailors of Den
yer, Colo. But, fortunately for the
negroes of Tennessee, they have more
freedom to right their wrongs than
have the journeymen tailors Of Den=
ver."

GERMANY AND TURKEY.

Geneva dispatch printed in Paris newspaper says
that the heir to the Turkish throne supported
Turkish officers, has begun movement for sep
arate peace, cooperating with certain diplomats in
Switzerland, including former ambassador to Paris
and Naby Bey The Swiss papers say Germany is
aging the separate movement because she is
able to bear the strain of financing Turkey.
Tending to confirm the foregoing, Milan paper
prints Constantnope saying that the Young
Turks and Old Turks holding meetings with
the object of forcing separate peace and La Suisse,
Zurich newspaper, says three Turkish diplomats are
in Switzerland preparing scheme for Turkish
proposals.
The Turkish expedition to Suez has been Abandoned
abandoned Secretary of the Treasury Helfferich
admitted in the reichstag that Germanys financial
don unsatisfactory: and so 900 German troops
have been Quarered in Constantinople prevent what
believed to be imminent revolution. These things
are believed to confirm the Geneva Dispatch
Turkey seems to be a dead weight on Germanys
hands, unable to make military without German
money for troops and munitions; and now it appears
that Germany is unable to continue it's contributions
Besides wenformed persons in France say the central
empires increasingly alarmed the growing
of the Russians the Gacian 'front.' and cannot afford
to squander the slightest resource of men, money or
arms on Turkey in the face of Galician crisis.
The conclusion is that the kaiser at the bottom of
the Turkish movement for separate peace and there
fore it may be asserted that the allies will not consent
to It, IT the kaiser bit off than he could uasticate
that's his fault-and misfortune.

AUSTRALIAN LABOR
RETURNS TO UNIONS

1T is to the record Of unionism
the greatest satisfaction" says the
Australian Worker. in a leading edi-
torial on the silver jubilee Of Austral-
Ian trade unionism.
The paper refers to advances made
by labor on the political field. "But
when all this is granted" it continues,
there remains good grounds for dis
appointments with the results of Ia
Dor victories in New South Wales.
''The election Of a parliamentary
labor majority did not impress itself
upon us as swift transition from
darkness into light. There are no
wonderful changes marking it off the
labor era from that which pre-
coded it.
1T Is, perhaps, too soon. Political
power Is not a magician's wand, turn

sW1neherd into a prince.

come entangled with every relation of
life, are not to be abolished with a
Hey, preston A tyranny which iden-
titles itself with every social institu-
ton, and clothes itself with the home
ly virtues and the religious instincts,
Is not easily broken down.
Labor ministers are but human.
They are too apt to confound their
own elevation with the uplifting of
the masses, and develop a frame of
mind which enables them to act as
though with their personal triumph,
the aim and object of the labor move
ment were attained.
I'm New South Wales this tendency
has hardened into a positive evil. No
wonder the ranks of the workers are
torn With discomfort. No wonder the
unions carry resolutions Of condemna-
ton. No wonder, where men and
women who have fought and suffered
for the ideals of the movement are
gathered together, the state ministry
IS greeted with sullen eyes and NUT |
tering voices"

optimistic, and declares that the cause

1T is to the record of unionism in
New South Wales we can turn with
the greatest satisfaction. Labor's sill
yer jubilee in that state is an event
which the organized working class can
celebrate with pride in their splendid
solidarity and in the justice of their
cause.
1T Is that solidarity, and that pas

have commanded such confidence in their ability

been called radical, but his opinions have led
him away from the legality of question; rather it has
been determination that protection to citizens that

But even beyond these things rise the devotion of
this man to unselfish public service. OF many men,
happily say they devoted their abilities to the
service Of their fellows but how few have carried this

TRY TO GET u. s. IN
WAR WITH GERMANY

Nearer and nearer. All the Roose-

saying in so many words that we must
join the allies and fight against Ger

on boosting the Roosevelt game, and
here is what The Chicago Post, a de-
voted Roosevelt organ has to offer:

In other words, The Post is per-

could and did, then we ought to take
up the cause of Great Britain. any,
