REGULATE RICH REFLECTS.

sentiments should be encouraged tow

barbarian custom of dispOsing of the

should be introduced, but that some

That lieutenant of the navy, a

of pickle because of a $1,000, 00C
widow is unfortunate, but not aston

sophically and without prejudice. In

responsible. She couldn't help being

LIMP BILLS SAFER.
Bank Teller Prefers to Handle Old
Notes That Don't Stick Together.

Local bank tellers forsee no practi-
cal difficulty in handling the new,
limp currency soon to be issued by
the treasury department These notes,
it is promised, will be pliable, silken,
soft, not stiff and rough like those
crisp notes of which poets have so
long been drea aiming. The prime OBJ
ject of the change is to supply bills
that will keep cleaner than the pres
ent issue, and that will mingle fewer
microbes with American prosperity
No, crisp notes is not the teller's
delight" explained one of those Mir
asses. Our portraits represent us as
clinging to package of stiff POS, but in
fact we'd rather handle older bills.
The new money is cleaner-that's its
only advantage. The crisp notes,
which you might suppose would sep
arate easily, are inclined, on the con-
trary, to stick together A pair OF

and count them out as fast as any

but they're safer for his pocketbook.'

THE INFINITE JOYS OF MOTHER
HOOD.
rnaidenS.

(By Paolo Mantegazza, President Ital
ian Anthropological Society,"
From the first dawn of the mother
| life until the last hour of a woman s
life, when. dying, she is consoled il
seeing gathered at her bedside nel
weeping children, maternity reaps
the harvest Of the infinite joys which
merited the intensity of it's passion
the grandeur of it's sacrifices.
Nature deemed womankind at the
van of humanity when it confded &c
her the difficult functions of mother
hood; when it impaired to her senti
ment which, reckless in sacrifices
claims no sacrifices from others
which, prodigal in affection, asks no
affection in return; which is brave to
the degree of heroism, quailing Meth
er before irgratitude nor indiffer-
ence
Of all the sentiments mother love
is the least egotistic. 1t is the senti-
ment which gives the most and re-
ceives the least and which measures
its joys only by the grandeur of the
sacrifice accomplished, not by the
generosity of the reciprocation. Ar
fists, poets, philosophers, have been
able to find amusement in friendship.

er love-never. The man who through
painful experiences has become har-
dened to human suffering can still
feel his eyes suffused with tears when
he thinks of his faraway mother
Venerable mystery of motherhood
grief and JOY sacredly united, bound
into a common existence. From their
union We see born such perfection,
such beauty, that We dare no longer
revile pain, for in casting its demOni-
acal mantle over the statue of Joy it
increases the aesthetic perfection and
lends it ideal outlines The more a
woman suffers through her mother
hood the prouder is she to receive
her title, the more she rejoices in the
sublime role
I would never end were | to enum-
crate all the joys that pertain to the

LEVI AS A PROPHET.

Senator Ankeny, Mayor Gilbert
Hunt, E. D. Croker and other repub-
lican politicians Of the sta.e who
train with the railroad lobby, held a
conference in Spokane, Monday and
Tuesday. There were several matters
under discussion. One was that of
federal patronage. Secretary Hitch
cock having prevailed upon President
Roosevelt to turn down recommends
tions made by Senators Ankeny and
Foster for land office appointments
at Spokane and Vancouver it is now
proposed TO unite the senators Of
Washington, Oregon and California in
a fight for the removal of Hitchcock
from the cabinet. This will amount
to a war upon President Roosevelt,
and as the strenuous executive is
not disposed to submit to dictation
the result of the proposed contest can
easily be foretold Hitchcock will
stay in the cabinet and the senators
opposing him will lose, what little
influence they now have at the White
House.
AS all these senators are corpora
ton men, they are at heart opposed
to the nomination of Roosevelt next
wear and would welcome an Opportu-
nifty to throw their support to Sena-
tor Hanna, Senator Fairbanks or any
other faithful ally of the trusts and
mOnOpOlieS.
The railway magnates will not soon
forgive President Roosevelt for hav-
ing instructed Attorney General
Knox to bring suit against the North
ern Securities merger as a violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law, and
as Senators Ankeny and Foster were
elected through TdlTOdu influence,
they secretly share the hostility en-
tertained by the Hill-Harriman-Mor-
gan syndicate toward the president.
For like reasons the railroad lobby
its two United States senators in this
state and all its band Of mercenary
myrmidons, sycophants and satellites
is bitterly opposed to Governor Me
Bride and will leave no stone or dol
lar returned to prevent his nomina
ton by the republican state conven
ton next year. 1t was this wish that
was father to the thought expressed
by Senator Ankeny in an interview al
Spokane last Monday, when he said
Governor Mcbride will not even be
nominated by the republican conven
ton. l have not heard :
word about his candidacy, but if be
offers himself it will be in vain for h,
will not be renominated for governor

GREAT THINGS EXPECTED.

On the twenty-fifth inst. a meeting
of the stockholders of the Walla Wal
la Gas & Electric Light company will
b held to vote on the question OF
selling it's property and franchises to
Cyrus Pierce & Company, an eastern
firm Valuable franchises were voted
to the local company by the council
only two weeks ago and it is to be
hoped that the new company will be
able to give the people some great
improvements in return for these lib
eral concessions. An electric street
car line and a trolley system, bring
ing the suburban districts into
closer touch with the business portion
of the city would mean much in the
promotion of the growth and prosper
ity of WTalla Walla, and some
members of the council hint vaguely
at such good things to come as tho
fruit of the liberal franchises recently
granted.
