A STRONG REMINDER.

The wholesale conviction of |. w.
W. agitatos in Chicago is a strong re-
inder of the equally striking success
which the United States scored few
years ago in the conviction of the Nc
Namara brothers and the other struc-
tural iron workers who had for long
time carried on a campaign of terror
ism by dynamiting bridges and build
ings erected BY contractors not in
their good races. The imposition of
life sentences upon the ringleaders
in that Infamous plot, with shorter
terms for those guilty of completely.
put an effectual quietus upon the dE-
Mantle outrages that had been going
on for years. Not a single explosion
due to such Vaccinations has since
occurred, so ar as can be recalled.
As contemporary says, it was high
time that the I. W. w. was rounded
I'D with an equally firm hand. Ever
since the beginning Of the war this
organization has been suspected Of
receiving financial support from Ger
MANY. not because of any love it bears
the Kaiser's government, but because
if is willing to take cash from any
source that will assist it in its war
upon society. It's activities, especial
y such as setting fire to wheat fiells
in the West, wrecking lumber mills
snd seeking to demoraliZe labor every
where, have been distinctly disloyal.
In effect, il not in intention, it has
given aid and comfort to the enemy.
H. a time of war no liberation can be
shown to such wreckers, and their
leaders deserve punishment no less
severe than that inflicted upon the
dynamiting structural workers. In
this there is no antagonism shown &c
the cause Of labor, for as between the
|. w. w. and the trade unions dead
iv hatred exists. In its way the over
whelming victory of the government
i: the trial at Chicago is one of the
most gratifying incidents of these
days of war.

pRUSSIAN EG0TISM

There isn't any excuse for the Ger
man misconccption about the Amerl-
cans because they had previously ad.
mitted their parallel blunder about
the British armies, says the Vancou-
yer Province. Contempt, first for the
British armies, and then for the
Americans, sprang from the same
causc--a feeling that only a mill
tarized nation, in the grip of mill
caste, with an hereditary appetite
and taste for war, can successfully
make war OH the modern scale. They
know nothing about the fighting pow
er of aroused democracies. But they
are learning. with most of the lessons
yet to come.
Ernest Dimnet in the Atlantic
Monthly gives the following answer
to the query. "What is a Poilu?"
AN humble man who, one July
afternoon in 1914, left at two hours
notice his Partisan shop or work
shop. or his ripe wheatfelds or his
ripenng vines for a military depot
he had never liked and had managed
TO tolerate only because soldering
and all things soldierly are lovable to
the Frenchman and take on halo in his
imagination. was packed to the Bel
gan frontier: made the acquaintance
Of danger under all its forms; fought,
hungered- and thlrsted--
for days; knew the trenches when
they were in their crudest novelty and
worse than the badgers hole; got
wounded and lay for hours. sometimes
days, where he had fallen. or crawled
miles to 4 hurried surgeon and to the
torturing goods trucks pompously Ia
beled sanitary trains; got we'll and
went back to the depot, and then
back 10 the front and to fighting or
being shelled; and so en- during four
years, with the ever-disappointed cer-
tainty that "next winter must be the
last or that the imminent coming
in of this or that nation must bring
the end"

Hitherto y, most cases a MANNED man

DERELICT CITY FATHERS.

4 Another Intellectual attempt was
made last night to hold meeting
Of the Common Council. Only eight
out of the sixteen members Of the
hoard appeared III the chamber. There
will be but one more meeting OF pres
emit City Council, September 2. when
the new bodies are supposed to meet
and organize.
The ignoring of calls for meetings
upon the part Of members Of the low
er branch of the Legislative bodies
Of the city government seems to be
in keeping with the procedures OF
others supposed to be in the emrloy OF
the city. But one-half of the men,
beers of the police force are perform
ing duty. The employees at the gas
works have dwindled to less than
ccrporars guard, and the few WHO re-
main at their posts of duty are :om-
pelled to labor sometimes thirty-slN
hours at time in order to fITnlsh
the necessary supply OF gas for con-
sumers. Men who have been IN the
= employ of the committee Oh light Tor
many years have this week relinda'sh
ed their positions.
The street department is also "np
against it," as it is impossible to Sc
cure laborers. Appropriations we've
made months ago for certain needed
street improvements, but it is feared
the snow will be flying before Such
work can be started. Plumbers are
unable to secure laborers, and n:uch
of the work in connection with sever
tapping is being retarded.
While the city is suffering in Of
fetal quarters great Inconvenience is
being experienced by all persons en-
gagged in business requiring labopHS.
AS the summer is rapidly passing
away and the time is not far distant
when fires will again be necessary,
empty coal bins are causing anxiety.
Orders which were placed with deal
ers months ago cannot be filled Tor
the reason that drivers cannot be g.
cured to handle the teams, although
coal may be available.
This general arrangement OF indus
trail conditions shows 10 signs Of
change. In fact it appears to grew
more serious all the time.

AFTER-WAR- MARRIAGES

England, France and the United
States, as we'll as in hostile countries,
the female population will largely cx-
ceed the male, with the result that u
good many ladies. will have no matr;-
mopial partners. But this, while en-
failing much grief upon the lonely
ones, will make for the welfare of the
race, says this professor of eugenics.

light, like a passing glimpse of the
clear blue beyond. 1t is flash of

have hitherto been selfishly or mar

illus of danger and sacrifice, and the
nearness OF sorrow and death, we
shall gain d keener and clearer m

away. To believe this is a part OF
the intense faith and hope that we

ONLY BUSINESS THAT OF WAR
Parisians in Every Walk of Life Have But One Thought, to Defeat the
 Hated Enemy.

In Paris one realized at last the meaning of the "business of war;" It had entered into every phase of life. As our men commute to business, so the POilus commute to the trenches, each trip of uncertain length; and in place of competition, financial or oth- erwise, they go to a business of life and death, writes William Beebe in the Atlantic Monthly.
 Few men could show the same vigor and enthusiasm as do these Poilus. For years they had faced high adventure that most men know, If at all, only in an annual vacation. To myself and to others whose life work carries them into dangers from the elements and from savage men, war held no absolute novelty. (The writer is a famous naturalist.) But think of the gunner, formerly travelling salesman for wom- ems hosiery, of the stretcher bearer who was a f1oorwalker in a depart ment storeI Did the florist whom met ever conceive that he would be re- moved from sausage-balloOn duty be- cause of unconq1erable air sickness?
 Think of the children in Paris old enough to talk and walk, who have never known world free from univer- sal war, and it will be easier to real ize the daily, monthly, yearly labor and worry which have worn for them selves ruts deep into the life routine and emotions of this Latin people. AS the medical student loses all sensi- tiveness concerning the handling of human fingers and feet and hands, so the participants in the war, without being really callous or insensitive, come to take danger, wounds, disabil- ity, as incidents, not fatalities.
 Ones geography of Paris would read: The city is bounded on the north by supply depots, on the south by hospitals and on the west by air dromes. Its principal imports and ex- ports are bandages, crape, wooden legs and Colonials; its products are war bread, war literature, faith and hope.

This link is the bridge across the wash a short distance north of Snow flake, work on which was start ed yesterday. Regular train servlce over the line as far as Snowflake will be started in a short time, and the company will make rates for the county fair which will be held in that town the first week in October.
