THEODORE ROOSEVELT is one of the
men who practices what they preach.
A long time ago he said that ii q
man has not means his first duty is ii
his family, but if he has means hisI
first duty is to his state. 1t is ignoble
to go through life merely piling dol
lars upon dollars. He reiterated these
plain views before the stude nts at
Ann Arbor last week. He pointed out
to those who might not have to work
for a living that it was their duty t
do unremunerative work for other
and for the state. Governor Rooseve
is wealthy man. He might ha 7
pursued life of leisure and of ira, /
He went into politics, however, as
business, and so well has he pursp
it that he has been rewarded with Sc Y
eral important offices. Too many men
of the Roosevelt stripe cannot get into
office. There is need of men in poll
tics who can devote their time to the
affairs of the nation without remun-
Grafton. Earnest disinterested service
is always the best.

the state authorities seem inclined

the state authorities seem inclined
to think there are three cases of
smallpox in the family OF Rufus Camp
bell living at Lake Colville in the
northeastern part OF the county,
eighteen miles from our city and seven
miles from Sprague and quarantine
has been ordered established to pre-
vent any spread. The action is based
upon the report OF DR.. ]. M. Bostwick
of Spokane, who made personal in
vestigation last Sunday having been
sent on that mission by d.. Newman,
president OF the state board OF health.
Il such should be the case that this
dreaded disease is not in the country
it is to be regretted that the needless
alarm and excitement should be pre-
cipitated for it is Il fact that people
have actually been frightened into
diseases Lf like nature and it has fire.
quently happened that there was
some hidden object in getting the
rumor started, such rs love of sensa-
tional news or calculated to benefit
some one directly or indirectly. Ger
tain it is that if the contagion that
has been traversing the country in the
vicinity of Big Lake is small pox it is
in very mild form and is not nearly
so severe as the result of vaccination,
but if genuine may lead to serious
conditions among us and it will be well
to heed the advice OF physicians who
undoubtedly are better able to Judge
such matters than the public generally.
According to history discrete small
pox will often run for several months
without causing a single death and
thereafter or upon advent of cold or
wet weather, break out in the most
deadly and malignant form. 1t is
better therefore even though there be
grave doubts as to the presence of the
dreaded and loathsome disease, to be
on the safe side and act in har-
mony with the authorities in the per-
Torrance of their sworn duties. 1t
will! require but II short time to ascer-
tain who has erred in Judgment and
in the meantime during the uncer-
tainty drop the controversy as to who
is right or wrong in their prophecy,
and realize that it might be small pox
and nothing else.

THE city OF Ritzville is coming to
the front as city OF elegant residences
and beautiful homes. In the building
of these elegant and attractive houses
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended. They are surrounded by
handsome lawns upon which much
care and attention have been given by
the owners, who have shown excellent
taste and good management in laying
them out. Work has already com
menced upon the Lawns and yards and
this year promises to give Ritzville Il
well earned reputation for neat and
attractive homes. Our people are
known the world over for their genial,
social and warm heartedness, and we
have achieved large reputation for
social gatherings, musical and literary
entertainments, but above all these,
beautiful homes are the leaders be-
cause they are presided over by lovely
women who adorn, teautify and make
them more attractive.

CALL A HALT.

We feel tia duty incumbent upon
is to call the attention of the author
ties and citizens to the fact of danger
ontinually confronting us by leaving
cams standing unhitched on our
public streets and thoroughfares.
Hardly week goes by without run
way, so far, no serious accidents
lave happened, but it will not always
20 so, some of these fine days they
will come carrying home the lifeless
orm OF your little one, and when it is
90 late you will wonder why no pre-
,aution had ever been taken. An
ronclad ordinance should be passed
making it II heavy Unable offense for
anyone to leave any animal to which
vehicle is attached without being
securely tethered to some place pre-
pared for the purpose. First street
IN front of the court house is one
hundred ieet wide and IL line of sub
stantial racks could be erected along
the easterly side, say three feet from
the sidewalk and extending several
blocks. People coming from the
country are usually hurried to tran
sact their business and ofteltimes are
almost compelled to leave their teams
on the vacant lots as there is not a
solid hitching post in the town. So,
almost unconsciously we are falling
into very bad habit for which we
will pay dearly unless we call halt.
Make arrangement ior the accomoda-
tion OF the patrons OF the town and
have our arresting officers pay more
attention to the protection of life and
property than other matters where
neither is at stake to any great extent.
To us it seems almost miraculous
considering the number of young
children that are generally at large,
that no causalities have occurred. The
runaways have been frequent enough
and il they are allowed to continue
We will wake up by and by.

THE residents of Ritzville may we'll
feel a pardonable pride in the material
advancement of our city. The money
that is being invested in new structures
and the enlarging and remodeling Of
old all indicate that we are here to
stay. As we walk about the city and
see the improvements on every hand
there is one thing that can be plainly
perceived, viz: that the people of Ritz
vile realize something of the possible
ity in store for the future. Compare
the present condition with two years
ago and well may we congratulate
ourselves upon the remarkable change.
With The surrounding country filling
up with farmers, and with tn ,ir in
creasing prosperity there is but one
reasonable conclusion and that is that
Ritzviue is just beginning an eve of
prosperity that will astonish the faint
hearted and prove the wisdom of those
who have ever held that Ritzville
would come out all right and demon
strate to the world that western pluck,
energy and stick to it-iveness are

Ritzville and together rejoice in her
