Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-07-01

Considering the times nothing of any consequence occurred in police cir cles yesterday, so that there was not much doing in the city court to-day.
 A. Dallas, the well known florist, has been obliged to discontinue his up- town store for the present. Orders can be left as heretofore at his conserVa- tory on Union street.
 Barnum & Bailey's circus ought to be able to give a parade in Danbury this morning. They got out of this city in fine shape. There were four sections of cars. The first left about 1 o'clock and the last about 3 o'clock. All of the sections should have reached Danbury by 5 o'clock.

MUST HAVE CARNEGIE BUILDING

Lewiston with a population of not
more than $500 is to have a $4,000
Carnegie free public library on the
same conditions offered Walla Walla.
The site has already been purchased
and the $4,000 a year guaranteed for
the maintenance of the library.
If Lewiston with one-fourth the
population of Walla Walla can do
this, it would be disgraceful for this
city to reject the generous offer of
Mr. Carnegie on terms that are GER
tainly most fair and reasonable. The
city now raises over $1,000 year for
the maintenance of a free library by
levying a half mill tax on an assess
able valuation of something over
$4,000 900. This valuation is less than
that of the two years before and is
no doubt much less than it will be I'M
der the next assessment. The rapid
growth of the city makes it certain
that in a few years a half mill tax
will raise the $4,000 maintenance fund
required for the Carnegie library. 1t
is pain, tlcIelOIe, lIldl Tie CITY Cali
comply with the conditions of Mr..
Carnegie's offer without imposing any
appreciate additional burden upon
the taxpayers
To turn down the Carnegie offer
would be an act of short sighted stu
pidity and asinine folly that would
forever condemn those responsible for
it. Public sentiment in this city is
practically unanimous in favor of the
city councils accepting the Carnegie
donation and meeting its terms with
out halting or quibbling.
The erection of splendid public
library building will be only one more
step in the realization of that Greater
Walla Walla for whose advent al
loyal citizens of the town are hoping
and striving.

HUMES' SONS LAND IN JAIL
Jay and Stark Prisoners Before Police
Judge Griffn-Are Fined.

TACOMA, WaSh.-Jay and Stark
of Seattle, We're prisoners before PO-
lice Judge Griffin Wednesday charged
with being drunk and disOrderly. Jay
was fined SO and Stark, who proved
that he was not quite SO aggressive
as his brother in the conduct that
landed them in Jail, was fined 81. Sen
tence was subsequently suspended.
The boys arrived from Seattle
Wednesday morning shortly after 4
o'clock. Jay explained their visit by
of bidding au reVOir to a friend who
was about to leave for San Francis
co. PatrOlman Mohrbacher came
upon the trio on Pacific avenue just
as Jay was sidestepping for the pur-
pose of dealing a hack driver solar
pleXus. The testimony of the arrest
ing officer revealed the fact that the
boys had engaged in an alteration
with Harry J. McCracken, whose hack
when not in commission, stands on
Tenth streets. In the absence of the
driver Jay put up a practical joke on
him, which did not meet the approval
of the victim, and he demonstrated by
knocking Jay down. Then the fight
began in earnest. McCracken bit the
dust, and PatrOlman Mohrbacher tes-
titled that Stark joined in the fray to
assist jay This was denied by Stark
and he introduced a witness who also
sWOre that Stark did not strike a
blow or even an attitude in the pugi-
liStic encounter.
Jay was at one time a driver in the
Seattle police department, and he still
carries the silver badge of authority
that designated his official position
When PatrOlman Mohrbacher grabbed
hold of Jay by the scruff of the neck
and prevented the landing of the ter
rible right on McCracken's complex

INDU STRIAL FEUDALISM.

In the past whenever a privileged
class has acquired enough power to
trample on the people and defy the
government some radical change has
taken place-a monarchy destroyed a
feudal system oVerthrown, a republic
born. 1t mattered not under what form
of government the oppression took
place; the result was the same.
In the United States We believe our
constitution and our institutions to be
proof against the consequences OF
evil tendencies. Indeed. we repose a
sublime faith in the 'bulwarks against
antirepublican tendencies"-in equal
and exact justice, the enforcement OF
law. freedom of the press and freedom

REDEEMING ORATORY.

The oratorical standard, it must be
confessed, is not very high even in the
national congress. In that body the
speechmakers usually talk to the stem
ographers, and the latter must stay
in order that by no mischance may the
orators words fail to get into the Rec
ord. Thence the eloquence is re-
printed and distributed through the
members district as proof positive
that he is earning his pay" that he
is not nonentity in the national halls.
In his campaigns he talks to his con-
stituents about my speech" and the
said speech generally has it's effect;
but not in congress.
Party organization has come to be
such an ironclad thing that voting in
the assemblies is largely a matter of
"the tip passed down the line
Speechifying, as a direct influence, has
lost it's time power. AS a conse-
quence members have come to look
upon sleeping, or unobtrusive inatten-
ton to a colleagues oratorical flight,
as a privilege and prerOgative of Of
flee.
1t will readily be seen that the an
nouncement of Mr. Champ Clark
congressman from Pike County, Mis-
souri,, proclaiming his intention to re-
deem OratOry in the house of repre-
sentatives, is a matter of superlative
| interest.
Reform is needed. and if anybody
| can effect it, it's Mr.. Clark. Whether
or not he swings a single vote, both
| sides of the house usually condescend
| to listen to him. Moreover he is not
compelled, at considerable expense, to
reprint his speeches from the Record
and to circulate them himself among
his constituents; the newspapers will
ingly do it for him.
Mr.. Clark proposes to redeem the
lost art by the very simple expedient
of speaking from the area" a space

/ directly in the faces of the members
and render it impossible for them to

example will be followed, that the
Webster Calhoun-Cla epoch will be
duplicated, that congressman once
more will in truth lend their ears

RETTFR LATE THAN NEVER.

At a meeting of the school board
last night a resolution was passed
unanimously directing the clerk to
make an itemized report Of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of District No
| for the last fiscal year. This action
of the board is commendable. 1t
ought to have been done long ago,
but it is better late than never.
The Statesman during the last year
has frequently called attention to the
following requirement of Section 92
Of the school law:
1T shall be the duty Of the board of
directors to make, as soon as possible
af ter the close of the school year, an
annual printed report to the axpayers
of the district, showing in detail the
receipts and disbursements of the
school funds" This law has applied
to the Walla Walla school district
ever since the reorganization of the
school board with five members in
stead of three in 1900, after the pop
ulation of the district had been ascer-
tanned to be over ten thousand. Yet
the financial report required has never
been made and the resolution adopted
last night was the first move ever
made in that direction.
1t will be gratifying to the public
to know that the board of education is
showing a disposition to comply with
the laws prescribing its duties and
there will be general commentator of
this change of attitude.
The board also decided to employ an
expert to examine the accounts of the
district. No one believes that there
is anything wrong with the books kept
by the school clerk, as she has the
confidence of the public in high de-
gree. but publicity in all such matters
can hurt no one and the board did
However, it is to be hoped that the
board will not go to the expense of
importing any fifteen dOllar-a day
experts on an unlimited contract when
competent accountants can be secur-
ed much more cheaply right at home.
The making Of itemiZed reports Of
the receipts and expenditures of the
school district was made the principal
issue of the memorable school election
of 1899, when over 1900 votes were
cast. and it would probably have been
made the issue again this year had
the board not wisely concluded to yield
to the popular demand for publicity
in the accounts of the district as voic-
ed by the Statesman.

his compatriot, and urged him to go
to bed instead of to Jail Jay took
kindly to the suggestion and accom-
panied by Stark and the third party
started for the hotel. They had pro-
ceeded almost block when Jay tore
away from his companions and in
sisted on returning to the hack driver
and having it out. MOhrbacher again
appeared on the scene and placed Jay
under arrest. Stark and his friend fol-
lowed them to the police station, when
the patroman decided that he would
also search Stark. This was resented
for the reason, as the young man eX
planned to Judge Griffin, that he was
not under arrest. The resentment
cost him his liberty, and he was book
ed on a charge of being drunk and
disorderly.
spent a night in cell in the Seattle
police station for disorderly canduct
and other depredations. Thei father
Mayor Humes, declined to interfere in
their behalf, and for time it seemed
as if they would have to stand trial
for their offenses, Mayor Humes fl
nally came to their rescue, and they
were released from custody and the
charges against them dismissed.
Stark interrogated the patrolman at
the hearing, and from the testimony
adduced it was plain that Jay was
the principal combatant, with his
brother an interested spectator. The
boys have regulations as athletes Of
exceptional ability.

of the person. And, doubtless, could
there be equal and exact justice and
perfect enforcement Of law, there
would be no considerable injurious
tendencies But, though we admire
the projections of our theory of law
and justice, we perceive that II IS I'LL
perfect in operation, and we are able
to trace the imperfections and in
eoualities of the enforcement of law
to the special privileges which large
and powerful class receives from those
who administer the great executive
functions of government.
Broadly speaking, the inequalities
and iniustices may be laid to the po-
litical influence exercised by the class
in question, the politicO- commercial
magnates and mOnOpolists. Toward
the people their attitude is one of
oppression and toward the govern
ment it amounts practically to def
ance This great class influence does
not stop with mere interference with
the operation of existing laws, but
extends to the making of laws
strengthening old privileges and Great
ing new ones.
The trusts are in a sense feudal
when they encrOach upon not only the
industrial and economic but political
and inrividual rights of the people.
Ancient feudalism was an inequitable
distribution of the sources of pro-
yXhic cd
then in lands, almost solely. The feu-
dalism fostered and promoted today
by the trust barOnS has to do not
with industrial processes, but with the
economic superstructure rather than
the foundation. The pernicious system,
however, directly embraces a large
proportion of the population.
In 50 far as the capitalistic and mo-
nOpolistic powers prevent the opera
ton of laws and exercise an influence
over the laWmaking function they af-
feet the whole people, are despOilers
of political and personal rights, and
may be likened to the feudal powers
which darkened the early history of
Britain and of the continent.
For the evils of industrial feudalism
before they become too firmly rooted
and before the influence of the privi-
legged class becomes too strongly in
terWOven in our political system,
there exists a cure, and but one cure,
the ballot. 1t is the ballot which is
the last bulwark against antirepubli-
can tendencies. Free opinions and free
suffrage are possible now, in the pres
ent state of our institutions. There
is just the suggestions that monopO-
ly's influence may have imperceptibly
affected these among the body of the
people-that possibly opinions and
suffrage are not so free as they used
to be before great bodies of the popu
lation found employment with mOnop-
Olized industry But, whether or not,
they have actually been infringed thus
far, certainly the tendency of the trust
influence is to initiate against their
free exercise, and the existence Of that
influence is at least a menace to our
institutions. The time for application
of the cure is when the cure is pos
sible. Remove the last vestige of the
trusts from politics and let them eX-
ist only as they may without protec-
them stand or fall as they accord with
the constitution and comply with the
laws.

STATESMAN'S 42D ANNIVERSARY

Tomorrow, November 29th, will be
the forty second anniversary OF the
birth of the Statesman. During this
eventful period, longer than the aver
age life of man, this paper has made
it's weekly visits and for twenty-three
years its daily visits to hundreds OF
homes carving the news of the week
or of the day with its messages OF
good cheer, hope and JOY or It's tales
of sorrow, misfortune and disaster to
hundreds of homes.
Founded in the first year Of the
great Civil War, the Statesman was
the medium through which thousands
of anxious readers were informed OF
the progress of the mighty conflict in
which nearly every household in the
land was represented by a father, son
or brother. The population of the
Walla Walla valley at that time was
composed largely of southern men
whose sympathies Weer with the Con-
federacy but the Statesman had the
courage under the editorial direction
of its founder, Major r. R. Rees, to
stand unequivocally for the Union
cause.
The Statesman was the first paper
east of the Cascades in this state to
announce the surrender of Lee at APP
pomattox, the fall of Richmond, the
capital Of the Southern Confederacy,
and a few days later the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln.
When William II. Newell became
editor and proprietor in 1865 the ma
ton was in the throes of reconstruct
ton following the close of the war.
The Statesman then upheld President
Andrew Johnson in his effort to carry
out the declared policy of Abraham
Lincoln in securing just and consid-
crate treatment of the states that had
supported the Lost Cause" \ radi-
cal republican congress insisted on
harassing coercive measures and in
making the ignorant blacks the domi-
nant political force. Events have
that the adoption of his policy would
have saved the South the reign OF
terror resulting from carpet-ba rule
during the "ku Klux' period from
1865 to 1876.
In its first issue the Statesman an
nounCed its purpose to put principle
above party and the good of the COM
munity above the selfish aims IF in
diVidualS. On the whole the paper
has consistently adhered to that policy
and today ii is more firmly committed
to it than ever. BY its fearless eX-
posture of corruption and dishonesty
in public life the Statesman has saved
the taxpayers of this city county anC
state many thousands of dollars an6
has richly earned the confidence OF
the public attested by the liberal pat
ronage that it has always received.
The Statesman will continue in it,
good work under the present manage
ment, and it hopes that the close O
its first half century and of its frs
full century of existence will find tn,
paper still Loyalty defending the right.
of the people and advocating every.
thing that will promote the growth
prosperity and we'll being of the CITY
state and nation.
