The strongest proof that can be
given of any dealers belief in the
merits of the goods he sells is his pos

if it does not give satisfaction. 1t is
in this way that Hyomei, the celebrat-

The Sand Hill fox hunters have not

they have not been idle, and many a
willy reynard has fled before their
hounds, this winter, only to fall vic
tim to the trusty guns of the hunters.
Within the past six weeks ]. L. Fish
has shot five, and G. w. Jones. and his
brother, Wallace, two each, and the
battle is still on. Their hunting
grounds are large, and extend from the
thriving town of Sidney far into the

DEBATE on Woman's Suffrage Post
poned Until Thursday.
Many Committee Hearings During the
Afternoon, Yesterday.

The members of both branches were
|called to order yesterday morning, at
1875 o'clock after the usual weekly
recess. Business of an important ma
ture was not much in evidence.
The most important matter presented
in the Senate was the resolve appropri-
ating $4,000 for the propagation and
protection of fish.
In the House Drew of Portland intro
duccd a bill and resolve relating to the
esta blishment of a home for feeble

$4,000 per year for 1903 and 1904 The
bill provides that the State shall estab-
llish and maintain a school for the
care and education of the idiotic and
feeble minded between the ages of three
land q years. All children supported
by towns, who, in the judgment of
lselectmen are capable of being benefit
ed by school instruction. shall be COM
mitted to the institution. The act pro-
vides that sum of money not exceed
ing $4,000. shall be appropriated to be
used or expended within the next two
years.
Weeks of Fairfield took occasion,
yesterday to object to the suspension
of rules and the Introduction of new
business out of order He first raised
objection to Drew of Portland present
ed the above measures, but through
courtesy allowed him to present them.
A little later, however, when Smith of
Hartland wanted to introduce an order
out of order the gentleman from Fair
| field was on his feet in an instant, and
| his vigorous objection caused Mr..
Smith to withdraw his order. It will
probably appear in the record of to-
days proceedings.
| Speaker Fellows, yesterday, an
nonnced the new makeup of the legal
affairs committee in the part of the

The Perry Lectures.

The real test of character is the
ability shown in taking advantage OF
opportunities. The Perry lectures
which begin tomorrow evening at
Whitman college afford the opportun-
ity of a lifetime to become better ac-
uuainted not only with the great
books of the world in thoroughly en-
tertaining way, but to learn import
ant facts in the lives of famous au-
thors. noted illustrators and worthy
book binders.
Mr.. Perry draws from a rich and
varied experience among books and
personal acquaintance with literary
people.
The University News says:
"Mr. Perry's talks are such as to in
spire not only love Of the beautiful
but an infinite respect for painstaking
work and all who listened felt that
the occasion was one of unusual
profit

geance and threatening personal harm
to the editor
We see here the natural result of a
newspapers interesting itself in the
moral welfare of the community
about it. The reward varies accord
ing to the size of the town. At Bend
the person whose personal liberty Is
interfered with seeks out the editor
and breaks his head, if he can. In
Portland he would probably bring a
damage suit People do not like to
have their prerogatives Of murder,
embezzlement, adultery or other irreg-
ularity exploited in the public prints.
1t is a free country Their moral
character is nobody's business.
Know all blacklegs by these pres
ents that if two trainmen brutally
outrage a girl on their train they are
not to be censured by the press. If
man steals the county or city
blind. he is to be treated with every
mark of consideration, or else he
will break somebody's head, stop his
paper, or bring libel suit. The
myth that sO-called law and order
people will stand by the newspaper
that does its public duty is one of the
most mirth-provoking ever transmit
ted from a remote antiquity. While
you are yet writing the promised ed
itorial against crimping, their lawyer
is signing a treaty of alliance with
Larry Sullivan. While you are try
ing to save the Chinaman from the
mob, they are hurrying out of town
by the first train. While you are try
ing to keep Tammany out of power
they are composing resolutions of
cenSure.
At Bend the hero of the nocturnal
episode was arrested for assault.
The upright citizen made haste to go
his bail. The upright judge made
haste to set him free. The editor has
his answer from the decent, lawabid-
ing element which stands SO Loyalty
behind the fearless newspaper-so far
behind as to be out of range. He will
not make the mistake again. He will
let the offender against the moral law
go his way and even comment approx
ingly upon his gait and costume.

all the city has paid for them. Hy-
drauIic engineers of national reputa-
ton have declared without reserva-
ton that water enough can be devel-
oped in the vicinity of the Thomas
springs to supply a city of at least
$4,000 people. All that is needed Is
for the city to go after this water IN
a cOmmOn-sense way. 1t is not fair
to Judge what can be done by the hit
or miss work done by Worley, who
from all reports was more interested
in developing time checks and gratis
than water. Engineers Weile, StOr-
row and Miller agree that by follow
ing the slope Of Mill creek and laying
the pipes deeper much more water
might be developed, and there is. no
good reason why this should not be
done. Councilman Smith has some
practical ideas along this line that
should be given thoughtful attention
by his colleagues.
The Weile proposition to be submit
ted by the council would cost an enor-
nous sum and would prove a griev-
Gus burden to taxpayers for many
years to come. The original cost OF
$4,000, not including filtration beds,
would not be more than half the final
cost of the system. 1t would be only
a question of a short time when san
itary conditions would require the
construction of filtration beds, and
there would be no end to costly lit1-
cation with riparian owners from the
city's intake pipe, twelve miles up
Mill creek, to the mouth of the Walla
Walla river
1t is estimated that the 100000
gallons to be taken by the city from
the creek would be worth for pur-
poses of irrigation to the owners of
riparian rights along the creek about
s125000 1t would cost the city more
than that if the damage had to be de-
termned by a multiplicity of law
suits.
If the people are given fair
chance to decide between the two
propositions to be submitted by the
council, the Statesman believes that
there is no reason to doubt that they
will vote by an overwhelming ma
jority for the cheaper one-that Of
bringing water from the Thomas
ranch. If the latter proposition is
made so objectionable in form that it
cannot be accepted by the people,
there will be nothing left to do but to
reject both propositions and wait for
a square deal

The Opening of the Rasmus Star
Ti1eater

On the 10Th of this month the Ras
mus Star theater, Walla Walla's new
est play house, will open its doors to
the public. And it will not be out of
place to add that all lovers of high
class vaudeville owe much to the tire
less work of Mgr. Rasmus in securing
for Walla Walla such a cosy theater
and the opportunity of enjoying the
many good things that are to be seen
n the larger cities That it will be
successful is a foregone conclusion
and Mgr Rasmus need not fear re-
suits in the least, just give us good
attractions and the Walla Walla peo-
pie will do the rest.
Manager Rasmus smiles knowingly
as he announces to his many patrons
that he has secured for his opening
attraction one of the best farce
comedy organizations on the road,
Bronson & Chenoweths' funny folks.
Other cities where this company have
appeared pronounce this company to
be composed of some of the brightest
gems plucked from the successful
stars Of polite vaudeville. The entire
program is constructed for laughing
purposes and is one continuous roar
of hearty laughter. There is plenty
of bright music, hilarious comedy,
pretty girls, stylish gowns and clean
vigorous fun without a wait.
The mere mention OF two such
clever artists as Eva Thatcher, better
known as The Irish Lady and Rae
Bronson heralded as THE Queen of
Vaudeville" is sufficient to guarantee
the standard of the organization.
Miss Thatcher is today the best Irish
character cOmedienne on the Am
erican stage and as a wholesale deal
er of laughter stands without a rival
Miss Rae Bronson is another star
of magnitude, clever and blessed with
voice of wonderful power and
sweetness, and is at the same time a
dramatic actress of rare abilities.
1t is we'll worth the price of admis-
sion to hear Charles H Chenoweth

been truly said that in his hands the
cornet becomes singing soul" Then

WHICH SHALL 1T BE?

The CITY council decided at an in
formal meeting a few nights ago 10
submit to the voters of Walla Walla
the question of bonding the city for
the construction of a gravity water
system. Two propositions will prob
ably be submitted. One is the Welle
plan of conducting water from d
point on Mill creek twelve miles from
the city at an estimated cost of lit
tie more than $4,000, not including
filtration beds. which would cost
over $4,000. nor the cost Of riparian
rights. which would amount to about
$3.50 more; the other plan is to
continue the development work at
Thomas springs and TO construct a
gravity system from that source at
an estimated cost of 100000.
There is little doubt that if the lat
ter proposition is submitted to the
people free from all suspicious Of prl-
vate gratis, it will carry by a large
majority. The people should insist
that this proposition be submitted in
use of One-fOurth the total amount Of
$10G GOO for the purchase Of half the
Thomas ranch for the accommodation
of persons interested in the sale Of
the land at an eXorbitant price. For
months every conceivable subterfuge
has been employed to force this city
to buy half the Thomas ranch as a
condition of the city, being allowed
to make use Of its $4,000 right to all
the subterranean water on the farm
and its $4,000 development work.
The people have been told that it IS
necessary for the city to own the
land in order to prevent unknown
parties from tamperIng with the
water supply. 1t is a holdup game
pure and simple There IS a state law
dealing severely with any person who
hampers with a citys water supply
and the enforcement of that law
should afford the city all the protec-
ton it needs. To pay $4,000 to keep
somebody from tampering with the
city's water supply would be just as
reasonable as it would be for the
Northern Pacific railroad to pay the
Montana blackmailers $4,000 to pre-
vent its tracks and trains from being
blown I'D with dynamite. The people
Of this city are in no mood to be held
up in this fashion and they will not
sanction any scheme to accomplish
indirectly what they would never ap
prove if fairly submitted for their ap
proval or rejection Therefore. it Is
the duty OF the council TO take care
that the Thomas springs bonding
proposition shall be submitted to the
people in a form that will not allow
the purchase OF half or all of the
Thomas ranch to promote a private
graft
Nor Will the people Of this city give
their approval to a scheme that coz
templates the abandonment of the
city's valuable rights on the Thoma.
place in order TO double the value O
the land for the benefit of the same
spectators who have about abandon
ed hope Of selling the land to the city
That is what the Weile proposition
means. The city has about s25 90,
invested in water rights at Thoma,
springs and not even Weile has dare,
10 say that these rights are not wortl
