SRSS1 m W N 8 CAPTURED JAP SPY ARRIVES IN 'FRISCO Arrested In Philippines When Caught Milking Sketch Of American Fortifications. San Francisco, Aug. 13. The al leged Japanese spy captured In the Philippines and brought to this country for the disposal of the mili tary authorities arrived this morn ing on the transport Thomas. Ho "will be taken to Mare Island for dis position. His namo Is Tanakl Tsutsuti. The government has been fortifying tho works at Olangapo and some time ago dynamite was distributed In such a manner as to excite the suspicion of foreign tampering. Jap anese laborers had been employed on the entrenchments but were at once discharged and Chinese employed. Thereafter no more dynamite ap peared. A short time later, Tsutsuti was detected in sketching the govern ment works and was arrested. He was recognized by a U. S. marine as one of the discharged Japanese. Since being taken into custody he has shown signs of insanity. HOW ABOUT THE LOAFERS? There Will He No Such Under Socialism. Problem (Robert Blatchford.) "Under Socialism what would you do with loafers?" some critic may ask. Remember that Socialism k not offered as a perfect system of life( but only as a very great Im provement over the present system. The word loafer I take it, means one who sponges on the earnings of other people. A loafer, then, may he a tramp without a shirt to his back, or he may be a landlord with a rent roll of half a million a year. It is stated that there are over a million adult males in the United States in receipt of large incomes who never do any kind of work. In the co-operative commonwealth these men might continue idle, but they certainly would not continue rich, nor would they continue to be known as 'gentlemen.' Besides the million well paid and wqll fed loafers who are at present supported by the earnings of the poor, there are now In this country Immense numbers of paupers, beggars, tramps and crim inals, and also a large army of un employed workers. But before I tell you what Socialism would do with all these people I must tell you what It is doing with them now. Do you suppose that society does not sup port these loafers? They live. What do they live on? All wealth is won by labor, is It not? Then all tramps, thieves, pau pers, beggars and parasites live up on alms, prison allowances or plun der, and all the means of support are produced by the labor of the -working poor. Under our present system we not only feed and house these loafers, but we go to tho ex pense of master, matrons, doctors, wardens and police, all of whom have to be fed and paid to wait upon and care for them. Next with regard to the unemploy ed. Most of these people manage to exist, and they exist at the expense ot those who work. Not one or twp facts these people can 'do nothing for their own support, arid many of them, through want and shamo and enforced idleness, becomo criminals or tiamps. This is not only a waste of power; It is also a wicked and disgraceful waste of human souls. Now, let us see how things would work under Socialism. We will divide our present loafers Into two classes those who could work, but will not, and those who would work and cannot. So long as it is possible for a willing worker to bo forced into idleness so long will there exist a reason for tho giving of alms. Why do wo relievo a beggar in tho street? Because wo arc novcr sure that tho man Is a shirker, be causo wo always fear thnt his penury may bo duo to misfortune and not to laziness. In a Socialistic stato this doubt would disappear. Socialism will provido work for all. Therefore In tho- co-operative commonwealth every man who was able to work would bo ablo to nobly live. This lact being universally understood, no ablohodled man could exist without working. A beggar, tramp or edu cated paraslto would bo nothing but a shameful loafer, and not a hand would bo hold out to help him. The answer to tho beggar or drono would be, "If you mo hungry go to work." If tho man refuses to work, ho must starve, or, In disciplinary mercy, we might call a shirker sick and send him to tho sanitarium shop for the work cure. Tho nnswor, then, to the question, "What would Socialists do with tho loafers?" is that tho dictum, "If n man will not work, neither shall ho eat," will bo rigidly enforced. So ciallsm will reform tho thief, mako a man of the beggar and cure 'tho lazy, whereas, undor our present con ditions, wo make them into crim inals, paupers or "gentlemen." PRINTER'S GRIM HUMOR. Leaven Mythical Fortune to Rela tion Who Neglected Him. Jesse Burrlght, an old printer who died in Dos Moines recently, had a sense of humor that did not leave him oven when on Ills deathbed, al though his last manifestation of thnt trait was of n grim kind. For years ho had not been In com munication with his relatives, al though ho had several sisters ami n brother residing In California and another in Ohio. When Burrlght wub takon III of typhoid fever about six wcoks ago ho notified ills rela tives brothers, slstors, nlecea and nophows of tho fact, and not one of thorn responded to his appeal for aid. Friends In Des Molnea took charge of tho caso and helped to hear ills expenses, Tlioy also paid tho expenses of tho funeral. Shortly boforo Burrlght died ho sont out a second circular to his un respondlng relatives. It was simply a printed copy of a will purported to linvn liann ilrnwn liv nttnrnnva nrwl carrylug tho nows that ho had died. THE DAILY Durright in this will disposed of about $25,000 in cash. He left hie brothers and sisters each $5,000, and to his other relatives he dls trlbuted cash and real estate as if he were a millionaire. Then there was a hurrying of dis tant relatives to the bedside of the dying man. Ho was too ill to see them when they arrived, and ho died without disclosing the location of his wealth. Quarrels soon arose among tho gathered relatives, and an attempt was made by some of them to break the will. The brothers and sisters insisted that they were entitled to the entire estate and then threatened legal proceedings among themselver as to the disposition of the property. Two of the brothers engaged attor neys and were preparing for an at tack upon the will on the ground that the deceased brother was In sane and that the entire estate should go to them. The lawyers began an investigation by starting in to find where their fee was to come from. And they made a discovery. Durright had absolutely no prop erty. GRANDE RONDE WHEAT ICING Operations On Conley Ranch Of 12, 000 Acres Soon To Begin The threshing machine season will begin at tho Conley wheat ranch today, says the La Grande Star.

For nearly twenty years all at tempts to naturalize lacrosse In Eng land have failed, but baseball seems to be now fairly well established, and in the course of a few years may be expected to spread throughout the country. J. Walter Spalding, Amer ican sportsman, said the other day that he thought baseball would surely become a fixture in English sports. He went on: "Many attempts have been made to introduce thq game in England, but they have all been failures, prin cipally because those who attempted to Introduce the game were all Amer icans. Last year the English foot ball players, with the idea of using their Idle grounds and keeping their players in training, took up the American game with the most satis factory results. "The development has been slow but sure. Last year a league con sisting of six clubs, while it did not secure any profit, paid expenses, and at the final game 4000 persons were present. This year the original lea gue was augmented by two others, each of six teams, while various un attached clubs bring the total num ber of teams playing baseball about London at present to nearly forty. Teams are also being organized at Cardiff and Newcastle and elsewhere in the provinces. "Everywhere a general healthy growth of American league rules pro vailed and the game the English clubs put up will compare favorably with that of the average amateur teams in the United States. The ex citement of tho game is catching on rapidly and the crowds have become so Intensely interested that in several cases an unsatisfactory decision has given rise to snouts of "Kill the um pire?' i "That, I think, shows that tho American spirit of baseball is being inculcated." Increase In Timber Values. (Umpqua Valley News.) Timber lands are becoming more precious every week, according to dealers in that class of realty, and the price has gone away beyond the wildest dreams of the old settler, wno seven years ago tnougut s an acre a stiff price. In that period timber lands have advanced from 10 cents a thousand stumpage to $5. The fact that about all tne avail- nolo timber In the united States is In tho Northwest impels timber land speculators to buy In Oregon and Washington, as tney realize that even tneso larger bodies of yellow fir are growing limited from day to day, and that when they are exhausted thoro will be no moro timber for use at. home or export. Further ad vances are predicted right along, un til values equal those of Michigan and Wisconsin, whero every sappling that will produce a scantling 4x4 Is considered a "tree." In those states tho stumps are being dug up to make lumber of and dead trees that had long lain in swamps and out of tho way places are hunted up and hauled to tho saw mills. Men who have witnessed tho destruction of what were considered Inexhaustible forests of the Middle West 50 years ago, are quite willing to pay good prices for tho timber lands of Oregon now, nnd many tracts bought recently are to bo held for tho next 20 years or so that tho descendants of tho purchas ers may profit by tho big prices pre dicted when the children nro grown.

"Do you mean to tell me," she de manded, "that I have kept forty-ono men waiting fifteen minutes for me?" "That's it." "Well, I'll be right along. That is a funny thing. I have been waiting all these years for just ono man, and now forty-ono of them aro waiting for mo." A Devotional Turn of Mind. As the new minister of the village was on his way to evening service ho met a rising young man of the place whom he was anxious to havo become an active member of tho church. "Good evening, my young friend," ho said solemnly. "Do you over at tend a place of worship?" "Yes, indeed, sir; regularly every Sunday night," replied the young fel low, with a smile.
