FIRST CASE OF TICK
fever APPEARS HERE

SEATTLE, WASH, May 21.-The
first case Of the Rocky Mountain
spotted or tick fever to develop in the
state was reported to the State De-
partment of Health May 1. The case
was near Harrington, Lincoln County
. region where the disease has been
prevalent for the last three years.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is
directly transmitted to persons by the
bite Of the tick. The symptoms in
clude fever, abdominal pains and a
spotted rash which usually comes out
all over the body.
The tick which is responsible for
the spread of the disease, may live
for many years and can exist for q
year with no food. There are four
stages in its development, the egg,
the larvae, the nymph and the adult,
and II is only the bite Of the adult
which Is likely to prove serious. Il
lives IN veResation, largely sagebfash
and attaches itself to the clothing Of
persons passing, or to rodents. Field
mice, rats and rabbits are carriers.
Spotted fever investigational work
was started in 1902 and has continued
with the exception Of few years dur
ing the war. Much information has
been obtained, but many phases are
still unsolved and there is no known
remedy. A. Spencer-P Parker vaccine
which was developed . year ago in
the laboratory at Hamilton, Mont,
gives encouraging indications Of at
least modifying the disease.
At the present time, only limited
amount Of vaccine Is available and it
can only be administered to those
actually exposed in those areas where
the disease occurs in its most viru-
lent forms. This includes sections Of
Montana, Arizona and Idaho. In this
state only in limited. district in
Eastern Washington. adjacent to Crab
Greek, has the tick been found.
April exports reported heaviest for
that month in five years.

JUST A FABLE

Once upon a time q seamans
through the efforts Of his union,
had received increases until his
wages reached $50 per month, 81
per hour for overtime, etc
Then he said 70 himself: "The
union can not get me any higher
wages, and / don't like the way the
union Is run, anyway, so why con-
tinus to pay dues7" He became
suspended.
Tine passed and, the inevitable
happened. His wages dropped
down and down until, at s65 per
month, he finally decided to square
himself with his union.
He was reinstated and the long
process to regain bis higher wages
started all over again. In the
meantime the employer had waxed
fat On the extra profits, while the
losses Of the disgruntled one were
gone forever.
Aesop said, 1900 years ago: "A
duty is forced upon the union to
once more fatten up the prodigal
son, for he has become lean, in
deed."-Seamen's Journal.

CHICAGO MAYOR ELECTS
UNION ORGANIZER FOR

- Tntsraaslenzl Lsbsr News Services
CHICAGO, May 21s-The general
labor movement Of Chicago and Chi
caeo Typographical Union No. 1e in
particular were signally honored
when Mayor William E. Dever sent
the name OF John A. English to the
City Council as nominee for q place
on the Chicago Board Of Education
for q three-year term.
The nomination was referred to the
Schools Committee Of the City Coun-
ell and will be formally acted on lat
er. No opposition is anticipated.
The movement to have Mr.. English
appointed q member of the Board of
Education originated at meeting Of
Chicago Typographical Union No. 16,
when William Finney, several times
a delegate to the Illinois State Fed
Grafton of Labor, introduced a reso-
luton indorsing Mr.. English for the
place and instrncting the delegates
Of the union to the Chicago Fedora
tion Of Labor to take the matter up
with the latter body. The resolution
was passed unanimously.
The Schools Committee of the Chi

panied by the Chicago correspondent

later waited on Mayor Dever and pre-
sented an argument showing why or
ganized labor should receive this rec

argument. The action by the mayor
followed.

PRES. SHORT VISITS
HARBOR At Gle.
MEETING TONIGHT

W. M. Short, president Of the
Washington State Federation Of La
Dor i in Aberdeen today, and win be
present at the meeting Of the Central
Labor Council tonight. This visit, at
last realized, was promised several
weeks ago. but the Seattle team
sters' strike and other important
matters has postponed it from time
to time. afs4
While here Mr.. Short win take the
initiatory steps towards staging the
State Federation convention to be
held here in July, and especially in
reference to the part the local union
organizations win take as hosts to
the several hundred delegates who
will be present.
The Kiwanis club had asked Presi-
dent Short to address them at their
Friday noon luncheon in the Hotel
Morck, and this was an added reason
for his visit to the Harbor. Arrange
ments, however, for place for him
on the program today miscarried, but
he has been definitely assigned to
Friday Of convention week in July.
He win probably leave for Seattle
tomorrow.

Apparently the idea of the spon-
sors of the subsidy is that in propos-
ing that it be in wages that it will
eliminate opposition from labor. But
this is not true. Labor stands where
1t did in 1899, when the convention Of
the American Federation Of Labor
declared:
"'A subsidy in the very nature of
things is the granting of a special
privilege empowering some men to
fill their pockets at the expense Of
others through the forms of law
"This principle was followed in sue
cessfully opposing ship subsidies in
1899, 1905 and 1922. Hiding it be-
hind a wage proposition does not
minimize the fact that it is a ship
subsidy for the benefit of private ship
owners who have maliciously violated
the seamen's act"
Furuseth Protests Against Proposal
Andrew Furuseth, president of the
international Seamen's Union of
America, strongly condemns the ship
subsidy proposal in letter to Presi-
dent Coolidge. On behalf of the sea-
men, Mr.. Furuseth declares that the
proposal is revival of part of the
Gallinger subsidy bill, which was very
strongly urged in Congress but was
defeated, largely because of the de-
termined opposition Of organized la
Dor.
$The seamen,p Mr.. Furuseth told
the President, opposed the Calm
ger subsidy bill as unsound, as tend
ing to keep any selfrespecting Amer
ican from the sea, as corrupting to
the shipowners and degrading to the
seamen. American seamen have no
toleration for the idea that they are
to be made 'tipsters,' and such they
would be considered no matter from
whom the tips might come. The
American will do any honorable work
in return for reasonable treatment
and reasonable wages, but he does
not enjoy the idea of either receiving
or being accused Of receiving some
thing for nothing"

lists take no part in the proposal that
the new state compensation law be

VALUE OF GOOD ADVERTISING

mic life of our people. It is now
fixed as an integral part of this COM
pick of civilization which we have
built up.
Advertising was not always looked
upon as vital part of our economic
system. There was a time when ad-
vertising had about the same eco
nomic and moral status as the barker
outside the circus tent.
But it has found itself a most SER
ious purpose. The older economist
taught the essential influences of
wish" want" and "desire" as mo-
tive forces in economic progress. You
have taken over the job of creating
desire. You have still another job

desire stand hitched. In economics
the torments of desire in turn create
demand, and from demand we create
production, and thence around the

UNEMPLOYMENT PREVENTION is

izing employment, as in preventing

illus viii be needed to arouse and re-
new the interest of industrial man
ayers, and that within a. few years,
the present reliance upon voluntary
industrial action of employers will
be recognized as socially too slow.
Legislation will follow. Society must
provide the necessary incentive, and
make it universal, through unem-
ployment compensation legislation.
When organized labor started its
agitation to hold industry liable for
part of the wages lost during lay
offs, the S. C. Johnson & Son Co., of
Racine, startled the business world
by calling in engineers to give the
plan a complete trial. Collective
agreements were signed with local
employees organization, holding the
company liable for so to 90 per cent
of the wages lost due to mo work"
up to 200 days. The results have as

TEXAS RANGERS SEE END
OF TRAIL WITH CATTLE
RUSTLERS ON WANE
By MAURICE MAYNARD

FORTH WORTH, Texas, May 21.
The Texas Rangers face the end of
the trail. The stage police force that
has served as the model for most
other State police outfits, the nearest
thing the States have had to the fam
Gus Canadian Northwest Mounted"
may soon go into the permanent dis
card.
An injunction now has the Rangers
out of business and there is every
prospect that the temporary condi-
tion will become permanent. This
will mean an end to the Ranger
force.
Rangers Two-Sided
An outgrowth of the needs of from
tier days, the Rangers have consti-
tuted force that has operated both
for good and bad, interesting every
where because of the growing cry on
the part OF employers for State
mounted police forces and the use of
such forces in strikes.
The Texas Rangers have served in
strike time, sometimes with good re-
suits, sometimes to the contrary.
The Rangers, as a force to be reck-
oned with in industrial disputes, were
negligible until the passage of the
vicious "open port law" which is
one Of the most sweeping and least
talked about anti-union laws in the
United States. But if the Rangers
were unfriendly in the Galveston
1ongshore strike, they were the re-
verse at least in some instances in
the shopmen's strike. At Greenville
one lone Ranger put stop to the
shooting activities of gang of kill
ers imported by the railroad.
Hostile to Mexicans
But the Rangers have been factor
in another field. They have been not
ed for undiplomatic activities along
the Mexican border and their dislike
for the Mexican people has been keen.
Their attitude has been more or less
a chip on the shoulder attitude, pro-
ductive of international friction. At
one acute stage of American-M Mex
lean relations it was hot headedly
proposed that the Rangers wipe out
the Mexican army" which was, of
course, a ridiculous proposition, as
well as one not calculated to improve
international friendship.
The passing of the Rangers will be
a mark of progress, so far as inter
national affairs are concerned, and
they viii not be greatly missed in
other fields. The policing of from
tier country, where cattle rustling
was the greatest crime in the cat
alogue, was the first job of the Rang
ers, their reason for existence. Those
days have passed and with them will
probably go the Rangers.
