At 1(h headquarters In BrussclH, the
International solull8t cmnmlttee,
which aspires to establlnh a worlil
vldu continloracy, Ik planning a hue
campaign In tho United .States. The
avowed object Ih to make socialism
tin- dominant power In American pol
itics. In Germany, France, Belgium, Italy
ami other continental countries, so
cialism already wields tremendous In
fluence which every government ha
it reckon with. In Great Krltain It

which haH a cre of representatives
In parliament.
In the meat lepuhile of tho west,
however, It has been heretofore a
comparatively nccJiKliile factor In pol
itics. It lias no represent!' lives in
congress and few It uny In thj state
legislatures.
!'ut m:w, when the popular feeling
In America atjalnst the power of the
tiUKt" and the dcnomlnnncc of wealth
h.is nl tamed such vast proportions,
the shrewd, brainy men who consti
tute tho International noclallHt com
mittee at nrusselH, and pull the
MrliiKs which bind the socialist or
KanizatloiiH of every country to the
central body, have decided that the
time Is rl c In America for a vigorous
propaganda' which shall endeavor to
unit" the forces of discontent under
the red banner. Not to fight but to
vote, for socialism recognizes that the
ballot is Its one effective weapon.
The parliamentary work was begun
some little time ago. The socialism
conference In Newark, N. J., last
March, which resulted in the union
of Hie socialist parly and the socialist
labor party, was due to the efforts of
the HiUKHels bureau.
Ktnll Vandervlde, Delglan secretary
of the International committee, says
of thii movement:
"I b lleve that a great labor party
will spring up and make Itself felt In
ti e United Slates In the near future,
''he great trades union organization
the American Federation of Labor,
which contains between 6,000,000 and
fi.ooil.lino vet is, has announced Its
Internum of embaiklng In politics.
"I see nothing to prevent tho so
clnllst parlies of the United Slates
Joining the political crgsinlratlon of
that party. Just as the socialists of
Grent lirltaln Join tho labor party.
see nothing to prevent the socialists
from sharing In the political councils
of that party and Helping to elect Its
representatives, and' nothing to pre
vent the bgc'IuIius in America from
Instilling their doctrines into the
whole mass of the pnrty as the Eng
lish socialist are doing with the Eng
lish labor party.
"I believe, on the contrary, that It
must Inevitably enmn to pass that the
socialists will bring ho whole hodv
of the labor organization over to so
cialism."
Reword Breaking Explosion.
Frank ' Farrell, W. H. Young and
Calvin Ross narrowly escaped death
yesterday at ' the Welgle camp of
Elk creek.
The receiver of the air compressor
plant exploded. Mr. Toung was not
over six feet from It and the other
men about 10 feet. Pieces of the
receiver flew In all directions, but
none of the men received more than
a few slight scratches, except Far
rell. The knuckle of the Index finger
of his right hand was cut to the
bone. Mr. Toung was struck be
tween tho shoulders by a long piece
of Iron pipe, but was not hurt. One
pleco of the receiver, weighing about
76 pounds, went through the Iron
roof, cutting a lorge piece of timber
half In two. 'The windows were all
smashed and oi" end of the building
partly demollsliu 1. A piece of Iron
whizzed through the hat of one of
the men but entirely missed his head.
A box containing 100 pounds of giant
powder, about eight feet from the
receiver, luckily was not struck by
any of tho flying pieces, but a keg of
nails nearby was scattered in all di
rections. The men at work In the
fnce of the 600-foot tunnel, hearing
the nolso of the explosion, rushed
out, expecting to find two or three
dead men. Mr. Wclglo will get a re
ceiver from the Thorne camp, and
expects to be at work again In about
two weeks. Idaho City World.
Protect Proprietary Medicine.
Did it ever occur to you that pro
prietary medicines are a blessing to
mankind generally? The good ons
have long continued sale; the poor
ones have short life and soon leave
the market.
It we had to uepen-i entirely upon
physicians and druggists It would be
expensive and very inconvenient at
times, especially in the country and
at night when neither could be con
veniently reached. For nearly 40
years Boschee's German Syrup has
been used in many ramllles and
thousands of lives have been sa I
by Its use, when it was impossible to
reach a physician. German Syrup is
the best household remedy for coughs,
colds, throat and lung trouble.- It
quickly relieves the hacking . cough,
loosens the phlegm, and brings sound
and refreshing sleep. Twenty-flv

of $126,000. Of these the Umpo.ua
Valley Prune association handled
something more than one-fourth, or
upwards of 1,260,000 pounds. The
Douglns County Fruit Packing com

handled nearly 1,600,000 pounds. The
remainder were Bhlpped by W. N.

OVER A MILLION FOR HOSPITAL.
IlremiTton to Try for Splendid Nuvnl
Institution.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
will at the regular meeting tomorrow
take the necessary steps towards
having the government construct at
the Bremerton nnvy yard a naval
hospital to cost $1,260,000, says the
Seattle News. The subject will be
presented by Judge Burke In an
elaborate statement.
Every senator and representative
from this state Is to be asked to en
ter Into the plan and to urge It upon
the government In every way possi
ble. The matter has been taken up at
this time because of the recommen
dations of the secretary of the navy
and because the government recog
nizes thnt Puget pound Is one of the
best places In the country for the re
cuperation of the men of tho navy.
A site for the hospltaj Is already In
view consisting of 20 to 30 acres of
nnvy yard land. The hospital will be
planned on the unit system and In
every way will be first-class and of
national Importance.
