FAIR PLAY FOR ALL.

II the city administration wishes to
head off all elimination of graft simp-
ly because OF personal prejudice or
political differences" in the solution
of the water question. it can very
easily accomplish that end by dealing
fairly with the public. Any attempt
ruptCy scheme upon the people to the
exclusion of every other proposition
will meet with ignOminiOus failure.
The administration should have learn
ed from the result of the election last
July that all the power of the ma
chine backed by the Svengali Of the
First NatiOnaI bank will not avail to
secure the required three-fifths ma
joriIy in favor of the WeiIe scheme.
If the administration sincerely de-
sires to be fair with the people Of all
factions and views it will give them
q fair choice Of several plans for the
solution Of the question of a gravity
water system. The Statesman be-
lieves that a majority Of the people
believe with Engineers KierSted and
Storrow that an abundance Of water
can be developed in the vicinity Of
Thomas springs for supplying a city
of at least double the present pOpula-
ton of Walla Walla. There is no rea-
son in the world why the people
should not be given an opportunity to
vote on this proposition except the
very obvious one that the First Ma
tional Bank desires the city either to
abandon its $4,000 water right and
$4,000 development work on the
Thomas ranch or to buy half the
ranch at an eXtOrtiOnate price for the
benefit Of the bank, which still holds
an interest in the land in spite of all
denials and attempts to hide the real
ownership
No matter what the mayor and a
majority of the council may person
ally think Of the best way to supply
the city with water, it is their duty
to give the people who will have to
pay the bills an opportunity TO pass
Judgment on the Thomas springs
proposition as we'll as on the $3.50 900
Weile scheme. Weile's expert report
taken after a birds eye view of the
Mill creek landscape at a cost of $500
TO the city, has very little weight with
the people in general however con-
elusive it may appear to the mayor
and council. No one objects to the
Weile proposition being submitted on
its merits, if it has any, along with
the Thomas springs plan and any
other plan that the council may
choose to submit.
The people demand simply fair play
and square deal
The best way to prove that the ad-
ministratiOn is independent of the in
f1uenCes of the First National bank in
dealing with the water question and
that every member of the council is
acting conscientiously as free
moral agent, is to submit the Thomas
springs proposition. free from any
suspicion of covert graft, to the
people along with any other PROPOSE.

HALLOWEEN HOODLUMS.

Tonight is Halloween and presum-
ably it will be celebrated in the usual
manner in this city. So long as the
celebration is confined to innocent
sports and pranks nobody will raise
a word of protest, for the more enjoy
ment people can get out of this dreary
old world the better However, in
years past Halloween has been taken
advantage of by hOOdlums to destroy
the property of persons against whom
they had a grudge, trusting to the gen
eral hilarity of the occasion and the
general disposition of the public to
overlook a great deal in the name OF
fun. Such offenders deserve the at
tention of the police.
There is no more reason why any
ones property should be purloined, In
jured or destroyed On the night OF
the 31st of October than on any other
night of the year. The state law
does not grant immunity for offenses
against persons or property commit
ted on Halloween and the exemplary
punishment of malicious persons who
take advantage of this merry occasion
to damage property would have a
salutary effect. In Spokane the chief
of police has deemed it necessary to
warn the hoodlums that they must re-
spect the rights of property owners
and that no violations Of the law will
be tolerated.
1t would be well if the police de-
partment of this city could have a
few extra men on duty tonight to pre-
vent the outrages that have some
times been committed in the name of
sport.

Wash Dress Goods for this
Seeson or Next.

Do you know that thousands of
shrewd women pick up July bar
gains in dress goods for the next
seasons making?
It's a money saving idea and
nobody ever knows that the ma
terials are not spic-span-new, and
cost Double or more than the thrift
ty owner paid for them.
After all, the principal style
changes are in the cut and trim
ming of the dress. This years
fabrics will be just as handsome
as the newer ones, when made up
over the latest patterns.
So, if you don't need more dress
es this season, economy suggests
picking out some choice patterns
to Law away.

On the Diamond.

BY all means the best game of the
season was that with Woodbury. on
Wednesday last, when the locals
Ook the visiting team into camp, to
Z In spite of rain which kept up the
greater part of the time, both teams
played ball, yet at no time were I'll e
visitors in the lead.
Parker's work was a credit to him
self and to his team. The critical
periods of thegame proved his ability
as pitcher and at no time did be
all to come up to the highest expec-
cations.
Some unpleasant feelings were, none
the less unPleasantly expressed by
the visitors after the game, relative
to the decisions of umpire Dutton.
Justice prompts us to say that we
consider the work of umpire Dutton
above the average, and while he
makes no claims to professionalism
still IN this game as in those past his
impartiality in making decisions was
noticeable.
AS special features of the game may
be mentioned the Elective hitting of
Doty and c. Drennen for the visitors,
and for the locals, the timely hit by
Leach in the 9Th which added runs
to the local score, the work of Waite
at first, and the clever manner in
which Forbush gathered in several
short fl9s.
Errors we're numerous all around,
although many were pardonable be-
cause of weather conditions.

of these changes the boys added four
tallies. Hardwick closed the innings
with one run. making the score s 6.
In the 9Th, Morrisville added 9 more
and Hardwick blanked; score a tie g.
s, and thus it remained until the last
half of the 10th when Purcell closed
the game by home run drove over
the left field. For the benefit of the
uniformed, it seems well to mention
the fact that the Hardwick team was
strengthened for this game by four
strong players from Woodbury.. viz:
pitcher, catcher, LIST base and right
field. A glance at the official score
easily satisfies one that this quartet
was wise addition and made VIC
tory possible for Hardwick.
Special fea lures were numerous and
the home run drive by Purcell coming
just when it was needed counts first,
Thompson's sensational running one
hand catch and his playing through
out the game, deserve mention and
we can see where Brer. Sawyer of the
Gazette has an opportunity to apollo
gize. The clever double play by Doty
is only further evidence of his ability
as ball player who, is always in the
game. For Morrisville the clever
field work of Coota and Leach should
be mentioned, that OF Coota being
especially sensational. We regret
that business calls him away at this
time for he has been a strong addi-
ton to the team.
1t was a good game, exciting from
start to finish and the result makes a
final one necessary. 1t will be played
in about two weeks, probably in Nor
risville. Umpire Brown knows the
game and his decisions, which he rem
ders like veteran, are fair and I'M
questionable.
GAME NEXT SATURDAY.
The next game will be the rubber
between Cambridge and Morrisville
and will be played on the Old Fair
Grounds here. Much interest is mani
fest by the local fans in this game
and the largest crowd yet in attend
ance is expected for next Saturday.
1t will be remembered that Cam
bridge won the first game by a score
of to 2 and the second game went
to Morrisville, by a score of ID to 5.
1t will be close game and excite
ment will run high on the "bleechers. !"
The signal to play ball will be given
at three o'clock sharp.
There has been some dissatisfae-
ton expressed in regard to the adj
mission which was advanced to Csc
at the beginning of the season and
as an experiment the price for this
game will be the same as in former
years, gents, 15c, ladies and children
10c.
