The Snokane authorities may think they are right in
their persecution, but so did the authors of many another

; A. S the leaves fall from the trees when touched by frost
.imi are scattered by the winds of autumn so do the oted men "clothed in a little brief authority.'
printed leaves continually fall from the daily press and are
'scattered almost as quickly. A few horn's after their issue ,
they have disappeared as if by magic and the contents
are as soon forgotten.
The newspaper is the complex product of a complex
civilization. It is the creation of many minds and many
hands, and has grown to be a necessity of civilization. And
yet this labor, except for the fleeting impress on many
ininds which makes the press the most powerful of modem
influences, aud'althougli it is the record of humanity for a
dav, is lost to the world within a few hours after its pro
duction, while the product of hands and brains of uncivil
ized eras remains a -monument for centuries of a bygone
age and a forgotten race to point a moral and adorn a tale.
" Hence architecture is the most enduring of the works
of man and one of the most important of the arts and
sciences. Not-only it is an index to the civilization of the
day but its products monuments for posterity. It ministers
to' the material comfort, measures the culture of the age,
and reflects the character and progress of the time that in
spired its creation and the progress of architecture is the
progress of humanity.
It is only in the last few years that the northwest has
paused long enough in its building of an empire to notice!
its architecture. Structures arose as if by magic, hastily
thrown together to answer the need of the hour, without
thought of grace, symetry or beauty. However, having re
alized these -shoutcoinings. the northwest is rapidly atoning
for these deficiencies and in no section of the country is
witnessing so great an improvement in the character of its
buildings. Stately business blocks, mansions and bunga-,
lows of artistic design now adorn every northwest city,
measuring not only the growth, but the artistic develop-
merit of the region. t
, That architecture has now become an important j
science in this section is proved by the issuance this mown
of number one, volume one, of the Northwest Architect at
Portland bv the publishing house of Mann and Beach. It
is an exceedingly artistic and typographically perfect
monthly periodical, devoted to architecture and its inter
ests, profusely illustrated and itself proof of the existence

west. Mav success attend the new venture, which in fos-
tering architecture, fosters civilization.

A TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE
f ,
IN" Spokane there are three hundred men locked up in a
schoolhouse converted into a jail, kept in a state of
semi-starvation and otherwise brutally treated, for the
"crime" of speaking on the public streets, in violation of
a municipal ordinance.
These prisoners are members of the Independent
Workers of the "World, a labor union with socialist be
liefs. Because they arc socialists, as many better men
are, does not make them criminals, and the' have as much
right to their beliefs as the get-rich-quick codfish aris
tocracy of Spokane has to theirs.
Since when is it a crime to speak on public streets?
Where else is a poor man, who has no money to hire halls,
to speak? Are not the streets the property of the peo
ple? Is not the right of free speech a constitutional pro
vision, and is not the action of the Spokane authorities
unconstitutional and un-American in the extremp?
Spokane's mayor and chief of police have made a big
mistake by their short-sighted persecution. Instead of
suppressing socialism, they have given it a great impetus.
They have made martyrs of their victims and so strength
ened the latter 's cause. They have proved that in Spokane
there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. They
have called the attention of the world to the inequality of
the law. They have emphasized the grievances of the
laboring man, and by their own violations of law have cre
ated anarchists, for if anything would make a man an an
archist it is to be treated as the Spokane prisoners have
been treated.
One of the principal charges against these men is that
thoy are foreigners. Is that a crime? Have we not al
ways boasted that America was a refuge for the down
trodden and oppressed of Europe? And when they find
the liberty they sought consists of persecution as bad or
worse than that of Europe, it is small wonder they decry
Old Glory and wave the red flag

W0UL3 FORM ALL NATIONS
INTO ONE GOVERNMENT
CHICAGO, Dec. C Cyrus II.
.Street of Council Bluffs, la., edi
tor of tho United Nations, launched
his plan for universal peace at a
mooting of tho Presbyterian minis
ters of 'Chicago. Mr. Street's plan
Is to form all nations of tho world
into ono government tho United
Nations of tho World.
"War will ceaao," said Mr. Streot,
"when all tho nations unite, to form
an International government with tho
power to make and execute universal
lawH and enforco peace. At present
tho nations aro afraid of 'tho other
follow.' It Is reasonablo to suppose,
thoroforo, that thero must bo perfect
assurance that was never can occur
before disarmament can take place."
Fifteen billion pcoplo, ho says,
havo been sacrificed In war slnco tho
beginning of authentic history. Tho
Napoleonic wars cost Fracno $15,
000,000,000 and tho civil war cost
tho United States 113,000,000,000.
