THEIR IDEAS OF THE WEST

Letters from the boys in the South show the southern
ers are wofully ignorant about the West; Their IDEAS
have been gathered from the lurid novels and the IN
caroline movies, where every man they see depicted as a
westerner has at least one gun and most of them two, and
these always handy and generally in evidence with or
without provocation. One of the boys writing home tells
of a southern lady feeling sorry for the West because 1t
was so wild. She asked him if he had ever seen a railroad
or ridden on a train before he came south. She wanted
to know how far it was to the nearest railroad, and this
while he lived in Portland. She was particularly inter-
ested in the western stage coaches and the robbers VINO
were so chivalrous even though so dreadful, and wondered
if people finally became used to being held up every time
they tried to go any place. She thought we would nave
courts like civilized countries in which disputes could De
settled instead of every man being his own judge and
making a six shooter his jury. She asked dozens OF ques-
tons along these lines, and all the time felt sorry for the
folks out west who had no schools or educational advan-
tages. 1t must have been a shock to these self-satlsfied
ones when the soldiers from Oregon kicked against con
ditions at Camp Green and told the people of Charlotte
thew must clean up their city and make it a place fit for
white-folks to live in or the camp would be moved. IhlS
from the wild and woolly cowboys and desper-
ADDE'S of the West gave the city officials a surprise, but
they concluded to clean up.

Billingsley's Appeal
Argued in San Francisco

San Francisco, Oct. 10.-Arguments
on the appeal of Logan and Fred Bill.
|ingsley, convicted in Seattle in connec-
tion with the wholesale bootlegging
and liquor smuggling scandal uncover
ed some months ago, were heard here
yesterday in the United States circuit
court of appeals.
The ~Billingsleys sought to change
their original plea of guilty to not
guilty at the time of their trial. Their
motion was refused.
1t is on this decision that their ap-
peal is based.
Attorney William R. Bell appeared
for the defendants and Clay Allen
United States district attorney of Sc
attic, for the government.
Allen argued for the dismissal Of the
appeal. He declared Billingsley had
failed to file twenty copies of briefs,
had never given the government prose
cutors a copy of the briefs and had not
given proper notice of motion to
change the plea.
Bell, arguing for the appeal, cited
many cases in which defendants were
allowed to change their plea before
sentence was pronounced. He declared
there had ever been eases where a
change of plea was made after the
pronouncing of sentence.

H SUICIDAL O

The strike situation in the Portland ~shipyards shows
no change, and no hope of settlement at least until the
arrival of the government mediators who are now on the
way. All matters in dispute except that of the closed
shop have been agreed upon and this alone stands in the
way of settlement. The Unions are making the mistake
of their existence. They are putting their unions first
and the country second. They are also by their strike
threatening the future of the ship building industry of
the coast, for the government will give no more orders to
coast yards if the orders already given cannot be filled.
They are injuring the city and the state, and they are
hurting themselves, for they are driving work that in the
future should furnish employment to thousands away
from the coast permanently. The unpatriotism of it all is
its worst feature. They are trying to take advantage of
the country's necessities to force the closed shop. They
are working directly into the hands of the kaiser in SO
doing, and to this extent their acts are reasonable. More
than all they are awaking a bitter opposition to unionism
that will have its effect in the future dealings of the order
and it will not be a friendly feeling that will follow their
course in this strike. Many who have been strong advo-.
Gates Of Union labor have turned from tt in disgust and
more are turning the same way daily. If unionism has
any friends among the strikers in Portland they will do
it a friendly turn by insisting on giving up the closed
shop demand. The Unions may win this, but if they do
they will lose in the long run, for the simple reason that
they cannot exist without a favorable public sentiment
and this they are destroying as fast as they can.
