IT WONT WORK
The persistent attacks that have
been made on Senator Nathan C.off by
the Democratic organ of this city and
the insinuating screeds of its Wash
ington correspondent, is of the same
inspiration that promoted the wails
over tie failure of tho Nedy biil.
granting the right of any State to sue
the government. to make the riftle in
the expiring moments of tho la^t Con
gress. The purpose of these malig
nant assaults on Senator Guff are only
too apparent. That they will not
avail goes without saying, as Senator
Goff cannot be provoked by any such
methods to resign to as to give' the
defeated Democratic Senator a chance |
to run again, "while he imagines thej
running to be favorable. j
The illness that has kept Senator!
Goff from attending the Senate ses
sions is of a serious character, andj
not a makeshift excuse for his ab
sence. The pusillanimous character of!
the heckling he has been subjected to!
by the Democratic press cannot af
fect his determination to remain in 1
an office that was unsought by him, j
something, that his chief detractor has i
never been able to attain.
PROPOSE LIMITED LOYALTY,'
Upon the condition that organized)
-labor shall have "representation on '
all agencies determining and admin
istering policies for national defense",
a conference of labor leaders recently
adopted a resolution pledging its mem
bers, in peace or war. "to stand unre
servedly by the standards of liberty
and the safety and preservation of the
institutions and ideals of our repub
lic". Other conditions are slated,
also, but this is sufficient as tho basis
for an analysis of a conditional pledge i
of loyalty. The Intelligencer does notj
^STSieve that this declaration is a fairj
representation of tho spirit of the j
large body of American workingmen. I
It is a limited loyalty that Is not char
acteristic of their patriotism. Tem-!
porarily overwhelmed by the con-i
sciousness of power, the labor leaders j
have expressed their own views and i
assumed them to be the opinions of
the laboring people of the nation.
In case of war the country will de
pend heavily on the laboring element, |
and we are stire it will not lean on aj
broken reed, but what will prove to be j
a strong, dependable oak. The sfate-j
ment of the labor leaders, quoted;
above, however, is an assumption that
organized labor does not already havej
all. the representation to which it is!
entitled under tho institutions and J
ideals of the republic. Such an as-j
sumption is manifestly false. The.
Wilson administration was returned to.'
power largely through the special ef-j
forts of organized labor. Organized J
labor has been freely consulted by the
President In fact, there was com
plaint prior to election that the head ?
of the American Federation of Labor, '
more than any other one man, had the j
ear of President Wilson. Secretary I
of War Baker and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels have long posed as tho j

ADDS TO LIVING COST
The National Board of Fire Under-1
writers contributes an interesting
? brochure to the high cost of living lit
j erature in poiuting out the excessive ?
! tire ?waste of the country as having aj
?bearing on that problem, and a pretty i
'good case is made out. A recent na-i
j lion-wide analysis of tires and fire
causes has showu enormous destruc-|
j t ion of common staples. Single tiros* j
j in elevators and mills frequently con
Isume the equivalent of a living for aj
i small army of people. For example, a .
recent blase in an Illinois elevator ?
rendered 70O.O00 bushels of corn untit
for human food, and also destroyed
j 300,000 bushels of uats. A short time!
j ago the United Stales I'-panment of
j Agriculture made a siuuy of the fro
iquent explosions in grain separators
i in the Big ilcnd counirv of the North
i
| west, and found thai in the height of.
the season these reached from six to
ten a day. ti>?. Hanie from such ??xpio-'
! siotis in a large number of eases >
'spreading into the surrounding grain
j with destructive results.
Other tires figuring wi the etojiomii.\
( waste'include grocery suires anil other
establishments handling food staples.
With potatoes selling a! over a:
bushel, four fires recently in storage
j houses in Maine ami Michigan de
jstroyed nearly .">0.000 barrels. With
an average of -more than one reported
I
! tire for every minute of the year, and
I
!a daily destruction ;i[)proximating
j$i>eO.O00. the United States is subject-]
j ed to an economic drain that affects
j every detail of its business and social
; life, and is a large, though t;nrecog-|
| uized factor in the cost of all coni-|
modities. Furthermore, ir cannot be.
I overlooked that, a vast number of peo-j
! pie are interrupted in employment. |
|and hence in earning power, from the;
same cause. If America were to re
duce, her fire losses to the fractional!
figures of most other countries it can |
hardly be doubted that the cost of liv- 1
ing would be materially lowered, l! i
must never be forgotten that. 1'l.t peri
cent of this annual bonfire is due toj
strictly preventable causes. 37. U perj
cent to thbse which are partly pre- j
ventable. and that the remaining -10.7 j
per cent from "unknown" causes is i
probably largely preventable.
Talking of spring drives. > osieruay j
was going some.
not bargained for
The railroad trainmen who secured ;
an eight hour day law by forcing Con-j
gross to act by holding over its headj
tho alternative of a strike, have got
something along with it they didn't
bargain for. according to the construc
tion the Supreme Court places on the
Adamson Act. They absolutely re
fused arbitration, but hereafter It will
be in the power of Congress to make
it compulsory. Tho decision also de
clares that Congress has the power to
fix wages In an emergency? that is
when both parties cannot agree on the
question.
The Adamson Act was clearly a wage
raising measure; therefore If Con-j
gress has the right to raise wages, it I
naturally has the right to reduce j
them. Whether or not these posstbil-j
ities ever occurred to the Brother
hood officials. It Is probable their ex-j
ultation OTer the "greatest victory or-,
ganized labor ever gained" will be|
modified after reading this extract j
from the court's decision on the con-J
sUtutionality of the Adamson law: ,

LUMBER TRADE HANDICAP j
The free importation of lumber intoj
this country provided for by the be
nevolent features of tho Underwood}
bill has muoh to answer for in the de-|
struction of the lumber trade of the .
Pacific northwest, but a writer on this
subject calls attention to the fact ihatj
one of the greatest handicaps placed j
on the American exporter is the Sea
men's Act. In pointing out the injus
tice it works to the lumber trade of)
that region he recalls that for several j
years the lumbering concerns operat
ing in the States of Washington and J
Oregon had been developing an evcep-,
tionally nice business with the easi
om ports of this country, shipping j
their products in American vessels j
through the* Panama t'anal to New J
York Baltimore. Philadelphia and'
Boston. As soon as this trade assum j
cd interesting proportions Canadian,
lumber firms began entering the mar-i
kot aided and abetted by the hatnl-j
lette law, the advantages which Creatj
Britain and her colonies enjoy in thej
use of the Panama Canal, and the;
further fact that there is absolutely |
no duty charged on Canadian lumber
imported into this country. Much of ,
this lumber is shipped from Belling
ham. Wash. Vancouver, B. C.. is just
*ixtv miles north of BeilingUam and
the "forest iu its vicinity produces the
same type of wood as is grown m|
Washington. .. j

A child simply will not. stop play inK
to empty the bowels, and the result is.
they become lightly clogged with
waste, liver ?cts sluggish, stomach

system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of "California Syr

constipated waste, sour bile and un
digested food passes out of the system,
and you have* a well, playful child
again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Pius" because it is perfectly
harml.t*ss: eniidren love i:. and it nev

open to those who oppose everybody
and everything except themselves.;
The conference will be held just be- i
fore the extra session of Congress]

be composed of progressive Republi- j
cans, progressive Democrats, Social-'

Prohibitionists. The gathering will
make a nice political melting pot.!
Really we confess-to some interest, in
the outcome, as ail of these choice

and a most accurate picture of Tils
following to be found in the Scrip
tures. where we read in First Samuel,
chapter twenty-two. and second verse,
as follows: "And everyone that was
in distress, and everyone that was in
debt, and everyone that was discon
tented. gathered themselves unto hiru,
and he became a captain over them;
and there was with him about four
hundred men". To which we devout

During the last few days hundreds of our friends
have shown us the courtesy to call and see our
New Store, and congratulate us on the taste' and
completeness of its several departments.
Much surprise was shown at our elaborate display
of Pianos and Player Pianos in our glass partition
ed parlors.
This splendid New Store is founded on thirty-five years of honest
endeavor to please the public? We believe that what the public
knows to be true about our past, will be our strongest asset for
future success.
We will handle in the future, as we have in years past| only
pianos that we know are of dependable quality, and that will
give full satisfaction at the price. :?
Therefore the too-cheap piano is barred from our stock. . ?.
No business house can hide the outward signs of its inner self.
It is on our reputation of the past thirty-five years that we ask
you to judge our present and our future! . , ?;
This store, with its gTeatly increased facilities for superior
service, respectfully solicits your patronage and influence. <
