That region contains about $4,000 peo-
Die, most Of them farmers with money
in bank.
The purchases of these farmers are
made in the cites Of Walla Walla'
Waitsburg, Dayton, Pendleton and in
termediate towns. Their produce, the
vast bulk of it being wheat, although
much barley of superior quality, fruits
and garden produce are raised, is sold
to the highest bidder. Not a farmer
in the entire region would give a
grain of wheat more to a buyer from
Portland than he would to a buyer
from Puget sound. When it comes
to selling wheat money talks. and
sentiment is silent. And so Of pur-
chases. The people of that section
will be inclined to buy where they can
get the most for their money.
The Walla Walla country is we'll
supplied with transportation by the
Northern Pacific and the o. r. & n.
Co., railroads. There is no difference
between the charges on freights taken
to the Walla Walla country from either
Puget sound or Portland, and the
freight charge on grain shipped out OF
that country is the same to Seattle,
Tacoma or Portland. Over half of
the grain exported from the Walla
Walla country reaches tide water on
Puget sound, the vast bulk Of it 60
ing to the great grain warehouses at
Tacoma. The money to pay for this
grain is provided through Puget sound
banks. Most of the money sent TO the
farmers of the Walla Walla country
by Puget sound grain dealers is sent
from there to Portland to pay for dry
goods, groceries and other merchan-
disc.
1t is a self-evident proposition that
the merchants and manufacturers of
Puget sound should sell more of their
wares and output to the farmers OF
the Walla Walla country. They have
been too busy supplying the rich Alas
ka trade to do more than wonder why
they are missing the Walla Walla
trade.

Treasurer Guichard and the other Off
GERS of the Walla Walla County Fair
Association deserve the highest praise
for the splendid financial showing
made by the first fair given under their
management. The receipts exceeded
the expenditures by nearly $4,000, leav-
ing a comfortable cash balance to be
applied on the Indebtedness incurred
in the purchase and equipment of the
grounds. Quasi-public corporations of
this sort are so often mismanaged that
it is gratifying to note this pleasing
exception.

President PenrOse in his annual re-
views the remarkable growth Of Whit

need Of a larger endowment fund. He
also speaks of the great demand for
an academy building allowing the

to vote last year may have been a
waste of time and money as many of
those who voted as residents of Frank
lin county now find their bona fide
residence there questioned by a good
republican Administered ton. The prin
cipal object of the trip was to elect
the Ankeny- Stevenson candidate for
the legislature, but as the democratic
candidate was elected, the expensive
excursion was an instance of loves
labor and Lewis money lost.

|tionally bound by the Anglo--Japan
treaty of 1902 to use her naval ana
military resources in Japans penail
in case the latter is attacked Dy any
other power. Great Britain does not
want another war on her hands SO
soon after her costly experience III
South Africa There is hardly any
pretense today among candid English
men that the British army is any more
effectively organized than it was be-
fore that conflict. Britain has many
more men who have been under hre
and who have learned the folly OF
fighting in close order. Organized in
telligently, the survivors OF the BOer
war would be strongly efficient. On
the sea. Great Britain is credited with
irresistible power, but even in this
respect a number of her own naval
authorities say she enjoys that repu-
tation more on paper than in hard
fact.
A London cable quotes General Lord
Wolseley as saying in his new book of
personal military experience that the
English people are never ready Tor
war and they have never had cabinet
which would dare tell them the truth,
known to all thoughtful soldiers, that
the country is in absolute unreadiness
for war; and the fact is known in ev-
| cry war Office in Europe. He objects
! to civilian war ministers, who will
never have an army for rapid mobli-
cation in his opinion.
These observations from one re-
Gently the general commanding the
British army are interesting, and the
discussions in the English press and
parliament, since the South African
war, would seem to sustain him.
His objection to civilian war minis
ters is certainly not irrational. We
have the same system and it was de-
vised primarily to meet the objection
that if a military veteran is placed at
the head Of the war office, he might
play Caesar and win the loyalty Of
the army, and declare himself dictator.
1t was devised secondarily to provide
another office for a civilian who had
performed valuable political SER
vice for his party. In England and
in this country there have been war
ministers who have not even a rudi-
mentary knowledge of military terms
and war material, or of the training
and setting up of soldiers. We have
been caught in a somewhat unprepar-
ed condition ourselves on two occa-
sions-the revolt of the slave states,
and the breaking out of the war with
Spain. BY superior ability in the art
of hustling, and at a much larger cost
than under preparedness, we got the
effective whip hand in control, and it
is morally certain that we shall not
under our more recent army legisla
ton, notably the organization of the
general staff, be caught in such I'M
ready condition again. Unreadiness
is tremendously expensive. The
hustling to get ready for war in 1861
62 was estimated by General Vincent
to have cost the country. when he
wrote, twenty years later, the formi-
dable sum of $3,14S,447,63S. This.
however, was only a portion Of the
real loss. Preparedness for war is not
near so costly as unpreparedness.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-11-25
PRETENTIOUS POSING.

| The speech of Mr.. BalfOur, the Brit
banquet, contains some very absurd
statements. For example, he spoke
! cheerfully of the situation in the far
east, declaring that he based his
| hopes in the passionate desire Of the
| Car of Russia to promote the general
peace" and because Japan, as Brit
aims ally, would be certain to show
| moderation, discretion and judgment
| in it's demands, as we'll as firmness in
enforcing them.
We have all heard the ear credited
with a passionate desire for peace"
many times. He professed such pas
sionate desire" when he sent forth his
proposition for the disarmament Of
Europe and suggesting an internatiOn-
al peace conference, which was held
at The Hague. Although Nicholas
had passionate desire for peace du-
ring the whole of his posing as a
peacemaker he was engaged in the
most serious business Of naval con-
structiOn Russia has ever undertaken.
He has kept up these war preparations
ever since, and, having by brutal bull
lying Of China, stolen from her and
occupied the three northeastern prov
inces known as Manchuria, he began
further land grabbing by ordering his
troops into Korean territory.
Japan naturally regarded the Man

tricky old bear-man, and called a
halt when Korea was touched. ia
pan is now credited with Withdrawing
| her opposition to Russian occupation
Of Manchuria, on condition that Russia
| will keep her hands off Korea. The
car, in the fervOr Of his passionate
| desire for peace" sent a big segment
OF his navy into Korean waters to
| bully-rag Japan into conflict. Having
obtained by as mean process of lying
and bullying as was ever conceived by
any ruler, all Manchuria, the szar poses
once more as a 'peacemaker."
| The observing outside world per-
ceives in his acquisition of Manchuria
by force and chicane, the inevitable
partition Of what remains Of China.
Neither Germany nor France cares
a farthing for maintaining the terrific
rial integrity Of China. Both are
ready at the next favorable opportu-
nifty, to occupy their claimed Sphere
Japan and Great Britain will do like
wise, and the United States, which Is
in a very decided officially stated way
| pledged to maintain the integrity OF
| China, will have to undertake the Sc
rious job alone, or be menaced in heI
ambition to get a dominant commercial
hold upon China.
Russia's felonious operations in
North China since 1894 have placed
her in a position, after she has
strengthened her manufacturing pow

just here that Russia is weak and as
