SHAW'S DISREGARD OF LAW.

Secretary Shaw has again shown
his utter contempt for the restrictions
of law. The revised statutes dis
tinctly declare that no funds of the
government shall be deposited in
banks unless secured by a deposit OF
United States bonds of equal face
value. The purpose Of this act Of con
gress was to secure the government
against loss through the insolvency
of banks which may be used as gov
eminent repositories. 1t is known
that bonds Of the government, in the
vaults OF the treasury are absolutely
safe as security They can be con
verted instantly by covering them in
20 the treasury as cancelled obliga-
tions. Corporation, state or munich
pal bonds are not so safe because
they are liable to depreciation under
a forced sale.
Last week. however. Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw deposited several
millions of treasury funds in ST. Louis
banks taking as security bonds of
the state OF Missouri and Of the city
of St. Louis. He feels that they af-
given time to mature they probably
will be. But suppose something
should happen that the money was
needed at once, Wha- would the sec

the bank was unable to provide the
amount? Bonds of the state of Mis-
souri, were never what is called gilt
edged" property. On a forced sale
they would probably slump off percep-
tibly and in the event of a currency
squeeze couldn't be sold at all The
secretary Of the treasury would be in
a bad hole then.
But the danger Of loss is less a
cause for objecting to the deposit on
such security than the violation of
law. When the high officers of the
government contemptu0usly disregard
the provisions of the law others soon
fall into the habit and the path to
anarchy is blazed. That much &C
cCmplished the rest is easy. Ordi-
nary citizens need little Indictment to
make them disregard the restraints
of law. One or two glazing instances
of malfeasance in high office are sui
fcient. For that reason the habit
which Secretary Shaw has of riding
ruthlessly over the law, which he in
variabIy does whenever the law hap
pens to get in his way or interfere
with his plans. is dangerous. The
smuggler or forger does no worse
and he is not expected to 90 any bet

Genera! ketchan1's Deafness.

The presence in the city of General
John II. Ketcham Of New York. who
is getting in readiness for his six
teerth term Of service in the house,
has served to revive a good story. He
is very deaf. but if this story is true,
not SO deaf as he appears. In fact,
when someone not so long ago eX-
pressed sympathy for his infrmity he
replied that be heard enough as it

DUE TO PARTISAN PREF UD1CE.

There has been much adverse COM
ment on the fact that President
Roosevelt in his memorial address at
the battlefield of Antietam on the oc-
casion of the recent unwilling of New
JERSEYS monument to her sons who
lost their lives in that battle, made
no reference whatever to General
George B. Mcclellan, who commanded
the Union Troops in that crucial con
test with the army Of Lee. Probably
one reason why Roosevelt had moth
ing to say in praise of Mcclellan was
because he feared that the reflected
glory Of the fathers valiant deeds
might help to create a sentiment in
flavor of the son, Congressman George
B. Mcclellan. who was the probable
democratic candidate for mayor OF
Greater New York. Mcclellan is now
the nominee sure enough and the ad-
ministration will do its best under
the guise of a nOn-partisan movement
to defeat him. A big democratic vic
tory in New York this year would not
help Roosevelt a great deal in next
years presidential campaign and he
knows it. A decided victory for Nc
Clellan will give the democrats an
excellent show to carry New York
state for their candidate next year
and in a close contest that might
mean the defeat Of Roosevelt. Mag
nanimity is not one Of Theodore
Roosevelt's characteristics and it is
perhaps not surprising that he could
not forget himself long enough in his
Antietam speech to pay a deserveu
tribute to that great democratic sold
Ter, General George B. Mcclellan.

omission of duty. Municipal business
is exploited, even in detail, in all
types of publications. Whosoever
would understand needs only to read.
Political bias frequently causes the
statements Of municipal work to be
garbled and misrepresented, but the
average citizen is capable of discover
| ing the truth between the lines. There
is no excuse for not being informed
on matters of common interest.
The apparent lack Of interest at
times in public questions does not
signify ignorance so much as it indi-
Gates misconception of duty. Many
citizens who thoroughly understand
municipal affairs, and who keep we'll
Informed on developments, allow
their interest to end with this knOwl-
edge and neglect to put their infor-
municipal business, but they do not
vote.
The business man who knows that
a certain policy would be beneficial
to his firm realizes that this knowl-
edge alone will not be of any avail
1t must be put to use. The knowl-
edge, in order to be productive. must
be acted upon. The duty of citizen
ship is similar. Citizens must not
only be informed Oh public questions,
as they are supposed 10 be; but they
must vote at all elections, as they
are supposed to do.

SPORROW AGREES WITH kIER
STED

The views of Engineer SporrOw On
the development of a gravity water
supply for Walla Walla coincide with
those expressed by Engineer Kiersted
In his report to the council on the
same subject ten years ago. Both de-
clare that there is no reasonable
doubt that an adequate water supply
for all the needs Of this city for years
10 come can be developed from sub
terranean sources a few miles up
Mill creek. Engineers Weiles, Miller
and SpOrrOW agree in the opinion that
the development work at Thomas
springs was misdireCted and that by
following the slope of Mill creek and
by sinking the pipes deeper a great
deal more water might be developed.

DAIRY EXPERTS COWS
ARE CONDEMNED.
Sanitary Inspector Finds 20Out
of rs of Them Affected
With tuberculosis.


A. w. Mowbray, of st. James, who is
president of the State Dairymens as
ISOLATION, is one of those to feel the
effects of the cattle inspection laws
which his organization has been large
ly instrumental in having enacted.
He was treated to something OF a
surprise recently when, after an in
spection of his dairy herd at st. James,
he was Informed by DR.. S. H. Ward,
secretary of the state live stock SAM
tary board, that twenty of his twenty
six cattle had been condemned be-
cause of tuberculosis.
Mr.. Mowbray has been prominent IN
dairy farming and in the promotion OF
the dairy industries in this state for
some years and his farm has always
been regarded as a model in every re-
spect. The announcement of this dis
covery has created considerable stir,
although it is we'll recognized among
dairymen that cattle may be affected
by tuberculosis and still not betray any
symptoms apparent to even veter-
marian without scientific test.
The examination for tuberculosis as
practiced by the state board embraces
two tests at intervals Of two or three
months before an animal is condemned
to be slaughtered. If the animal re-
spends to the first injection of tuber-
culin anti-toxin it is quarantined until
the second test is made, and if there is
reaction at that time the animal Is con-
demned.

decided as his own mind dictated. His
position in the Colombian matter, and
his eagerness to recognize Panama has
lost him the support of a great many
Republicans, while there are some who
think that he did the right thing.
Finally, Roosevelt is looked upon as an
accidental president.
eff Senator Hanna should receive the
nomination he would be sure to be
elected. His we'll known views on all
important questions have met the ap
prevail of the country at large, and he
is known as man of great forethought
and determination. With him as our
standard bearer in the next campaign
he could sweep the whole country. He
would be able to poll an equal number
of labor votes with Hearst, as his views
on all important labor questions have
been Endorsed by the greatest labor
leaders in the country.
1--WE urgently request all good Re-
publicans to work for the nomination
Of Senator Hanna. Organize clubs
bearing his name, and instruct your
delegates to the national convention to
vote solidly for him. The question
whether he will accept the nomination,
If rendered, is answered in these words:
No man has ever been known to de-
cline the nomination for the presi
dency when 1t was offered him by a
national convention This committee
has undertaken the task of warning all
stanch Republicans who have the good

our lamented president, William Nc
Kinley. His position on the race ques-
ton. against the unanimous protest of
good Republicans and citizens Of Ger
tain communities, has lost for him the
votes of thousands Of Republicans and
certain Democrats who might have
otherwise supported him. This coadi-
ton is not confined solely to the South,
as we are able to state as certainty
from close observation in the North
and West.
".2. He is comparatively weak

Is his stand on labor questions. 1t Is
absurd to suppose that he will receive
the support Of the vast bodies of labor
ing men who voted for Mckinley and
who are now clamoring around Hearst
and German. Should the Democrats
nominate William Randolph Hearst, OF
New York, he would be sure to receive
the largest number Of labor votes ever
cast for a single candidate. Senator
German is also looked upon as good
friend of the laboring man, and II he
should be nominated with our present
strenuous occupant of the White house
opposing him, he, too, would receive the
votes of the working man. Without the
support Of the laboring man the Re
publican party cannot expect to win
the next election and continue the pres
ent prosperity Of the country.
