WHOSE WIDOW IS sHE2

When man dies and the widow
marries again and the second hus-
band dies, whose widow Is She
OF the first or second husband, or
both? That was the question re-
Gently before the pension authoEi-
ties at Washington. The widow
of federal soldier was drawing a
pension as such widow. She mar
RED again and the pension stopped.
Then the second husband died and
the widow made application for
reinstatement as the widow of the
first husband, and the claim was
allowed. Consequently, under
that ruling, a soldiers vile is not
the widow of any but her first
husband.-Denison Gazetteer.

The Duty OF A Newspaper.
The Editor OF the Portland Journal
Says Some Sensible Things on
the Subject.

The newspaper, therefore, can
have no interests of lis own antag-
onistic to its public junction. 1t
can have no secret remuneration for
advocating the cause of individuals
under pretence of subscribing the
public good. It's interest and its
duty ought not to be put within the
possibility of conflict. It is in a
confidential relation with the pub
lie, and it owes to the public all
that relation implies
Any paper may err in its judg
ment in particular eases, but an
honest, though erroneous course, is
infinitely less harmful than a cor
rupt one, for while the one is cor
rected by the current OF events, the
other contaminates the very springs
of influence.
The importance of absolute sin
cerity, truthfulness and impartial
ity in presenting and discussing
public questions will be appreciat-
ed when the tremendous influence
of the press is considered People
look to the press for information
upon all current affairs. and their
actions are governed by what they
learn from this source. That this
action may be intelligent and eff
fective, the information must be
correct and the discussion honest.
Otherwise the people are lulled JIM
to a false security it their dearest
concerns or are wrongly led to their
injury in their most important af-
fairs.
A newspaper voluntarily assum-
ing these obligations and receiving
support upon that assumption has
no moral right to falsify or suppress
the truth, or explicitly or by indi-
rection mislead the public concern
ing any public matter. And most
certainly all that relates to the adj
ministration of public affairs by
officers Of the law is public matter.
The conduct of these officers, there
fore, in relation to their duties con-
Germs the paper to ascertain and
publish, because it concerns the
people. 1t cannot ignore any of
these things as not being its bust
ness, because these are what the
nature of lis functions obligeS it to
know, at peril of failing in the very
cause and excuse for It's being at
all. Not to know is to be delinquent,
and knowing, to be silent, IS to
be derelict. Portland (Ore) jour

Work Actually Begun.
The Alice and Brownsville Exten-
sion Of the Sap Railroad.


Alice Sen
The suspense and anxiety ex-
perienced by some people in and
out Of this section as to the real in
.entiong Of the Sap regarding It's
extension towards Brownsville
should now be aliayed. for Thurs
aay night J. P. Nelson arrived here
with his bookkeeper. Jas. Simpson.
and Thomas OFT, superintendent of
construction. de was preceded by
". 5. Story, formerly of Alice, who
has charge OF the commissary de-
partment, and also by party OF
graders from Waco, with their out
St.
Friday morning Contractor Nell
son at once established his camp, a
short distance south of town, and
at once went about arranging things
50 that the actual work of grading
sill n all probability begin Satur-
day
A large party of graders was de-
layed at Skidmore Thursday even
ing on account of lack of train SER
vice. Others are on their way here
by rail from the northern part of
the State, and yet Others from
points nearer by are coming over
land.
In the course of ten days Mr.
Nelson expects to have 80 teams
at work, so he informed the writer.
BE also said that fifty miles of the
road had been turned over to him
by the engineers, and that con-
strIction would be pushed with all
practicable dispatch. We will now
see him apply his mastery head
and hand to the task.
The party mentioned in the last
issue of the Sun as having gone
down the line, was an additional
engineering corps, which makes two
now in the field, that will be kept
busy making preliminary surveys,
and then permanently locating the
line ahead of the construction.
Ties and bridge timber sufficient
Tor some twenty miles of road are
now here, and more are arriving
daily in quantities sufficient to lay
> mile or more OF track per day.
The grading will probably not
precede the laying of the rails a
great distance.

Withholding from the market of all
other securities until this vast volume
Of water had been disposed of
The obvious purpose of the promo
ters was to swindle the public. 1t was
believed, no doubt, that the names OF
Morgan and Schwab would serve this
purpose to any extent and that after
presenting them with the trifle OF
$50, OOO,O of the Gcoc-, there would
still be good stealing to any amount.
The $3O,OOO,O00 Of stock bestowed upon
these wizards of finance represented
actual assets Of 100000. 1t was ex-
pected, evidently, that the amount OF
assets and the names of Morgan and
Schwab would serve as basis upon
which might be fioated hundreds OF
millians of securities. Probably that
expectation might have been fulfilled
| if Schwab had played fair. But the
moment he got rid of his bogus stock
he lay down on his fellow conspira-
tors.
The proper place to inquire into the
details of this bunco game is the
criminal court. In such a tribunal
there would be some chance Of fore
| ing restitution; that is if the alter
native of restoring to the despoiled
victims the money out Of which they
had been robbed or going to prison
for the robbery were presented,
there would probably be restitution.
Not only that but the proceedings
might lead to an investigation Of the
organization of other corporations
predicated on precisely similar plans.
The United States Steel corporation,
for example, bestowed on Mr. Carnegie
largesses in greater volume but prob
ably in about the same proportion to
| the assets contributed. In other words
on an actual investment of about $10,-
100000 Carnegie got securities Of the
Steel trust to the amount Of about
$3.50, 100000 and when dividends and
interest default, as they certainly will,
similar reckoning will follow

accomplish the much desired object,
and the money can be raised In THIS
short time only by herculean efforts on
the part of citizens devoted to the
cause Of this noble charity. 1t would
be an easy task if our richest citizens
would contribute to the fund in pro-
portion to their wealth, but not many
of them have ever shown much evil
dence Of being built in that way. In
fact in some quarters there has been
shown a disposition to throw cold
water on all attempts to secure the
home for this city, apparently through
fear that so large an amount Of money
at interest in this community might
interfere with the business Of local
money lenders and note shavers.
Moreover there has been some jealousy
manifested regarding the place of de-
post of the Stubblefield fund and this
may account for the opposition to the
establishment Of the home here that
has been shown by some monied in
tereSts.
The circulation of subscription pa
pers among the citizens will show just
where this opposition or Indifference
to the Stubblefield charity lies and will
throw new light on the ideals and mo-
tives that actuate some of our wealthy
citizens.

PATRONIZING HOME INDUSTRIES

The grocers of Walla Walla have
good reason to complain of the lack
of public spirit and loyalty to home
interests that leads citizens of the
town to buy their groceries or Pen
dleton dealers. The business men who
nav taxes here and contribute to every
enterprise for the upbuilding of the
town have a right to expect the pat
ronage of all the people of this city
The newspapers of this city have rea-
son to complain of the same unpa-
triotic spirit manifested by many citi-
zens and a few business men in refus-
ing to subscribe for a home paper and
in sending away to Portland, Spokane
or some other city for printing sup
plies The merchants and the news
papers of this city are entitled to the
liberal patronage of all home people.
They give employment to hundreds OF
men and thus give the means of sup
port to a large part of the city's popu-
lation. A town without merchants or
without newspapers would be as dead
as ancient Troy OF bOlllol 6iil anu q
blot on civilization.
However, no law can be passed COM
polling people to patrOnize home mer-
chants or home newspapers. Absolute
freedom of trade among the states of
the Union is guaranteed by the ma
tional constitution and congress has
no power to decree otherwise. Peo-
pie have the same legal right to buy
groceries in Pendleton that the gro
GERS have to buy them in Portland and
there is no lawmaking body on earth
that has any power to stop it.
The only remedy lies in an appeal
to the public spirit of our citizens and
their sense of loyalty to home enter
prises. The patronizing of home in
dustries is an essential test Of loyal
citizenship and this duty should be
impressed upon every citizen. The
business men help themselves by unit
ing in the support of their home news
papers. The newspapers of a town
are the index to its business condi-
tons and the spirit that governs its
citizens. The advertising columns OF
the newspapers show whether or not
the business men are up to date in
their methods and loyal to home indus
tries. The business man who fights
his home newspapers is as disloyal tC
his town as the man who sends tC
other towns for his groceries and other
supplies.
The majority of the business men OF
Walla Walla are loyal to their home
newspapers and printing establish
ments, and the few who are no
should reform their ways so that the,
may consistently object to the buyin&
of merchandise Of rival dealers il
neighboring towns by citizens lookin.
for bargains

A COSTLY VICTORY, PERHAPS.

The result of the recent elections,
particularly in Ohio, is being general
ly interpreted as a victory for stand
patism, says the Minneapolis Journal,
a staunch republican organ. 1t is a
hazardous thing to infer anything from
off -odd-year elections, but it is pos
sible that the Ohio result-the immen-
sity of the republican majOrity-can
be taken as a demonstration of the
confidence of the people of that state
in an unchanging tariff. The slump in
the stock market. the shutting down of
number of steel mills, the reduction
of the force of employees by some rail-
ways and a slight but general slack
ening in the business pace came just
at the right time to make it easy to
impress the Ohio people that the high
tariff has not yet done it's work, and
that it would be exceedingly danger
Gus to attempt to revise it.
But the standpatters will make a
mistake if they imagine that the cleo
tons give the republican party a
mandate to keep the tariff sacred and
untouched. Yet that is substantially
their attitude. Already the word
comes from Washington that if there
shall be any revision it will be up in
coffee and tea, both of which are now
on the free list, ought to be taxed.
The October deficit, in the treasury is
pointed to with ALARM and we are
told that the time may not be far dis
tant when the government will require
additional sources Of revenue.
This talk is suggestive of the pride
that goes before a fall. With an ag-
gregate surplus of something like
$3.50 O0O,O 900 to draw on, there is no
occasion for alarm if in an occasional
month the treasury receipts fall be-
low the disbursements. 1t would be
a very dangerous undertaking for the
republican party to impose duties on
tea and coffee, instead of removing
them from or reducing them on other
would be willingly borne, but in these
piping times of peace, the people will
not tolerate an unnecessary. tax on
such neceSSaries.
If the elections are to have the eff
feet of confirming the standpatters in
the error of their way and in rallying
to them the undecided, it would be
better for the republican party If it
had lost in every one of the eleven
states that counted noses last Tues
| day.

THE STATES SCHOOL LANDS.

The movement inaugurated by the
county school superintendent to pre-
vent the further wasting of the rich
patrimony given the state by the ma
tional government in the public school
lands is deserving of the highest COM
mendation. These lands properly con-
served should have brought the state
of $10,000,000 and eventually double
that sum, but until the advent of Com
missioner Bridges in the state land
office the school lands were sold for a
song or were leased for only nominal
rent Bridges introduced better meth
DDS, which have been followed by his
successor, Mr.. Calvert, and as a result
the permanent school fund is assuming
respectable proportions. However,
there is still room for Improvement
lend the state commissioner valuable
aid in this respect than the county
superintendent, whose visits to all
parts Of their respective counties has
enabled them to gain familiarity with
the real value of the school lands under
lease to farmers, often at a rental far
below what should be charged.
The reform proposed by the county
superintendent cannot come too soon.
Already fully half of the school lands
of the state have been practically
wasted and it will take the wisest
handling of what is left to bring the
permanent school fund of the state to
the figures that it should reach to an
SWer the educational needs of a COM
monWealth that promises to become
one of the most pOpulOus in the Union.
The state of Indiana by the sale of
the swamp lands given to it by the
national government on it's admission
to the Union has amassed a school fund
of about $1,000 600 and the distribu-
ton of the interest from this princely
sum among the counties of the state
materially reduces the burden of tax
alton for the support of the public
schools. The Hoosier state acccumlat-
ed this great endowment fund for her
from honest disposal of her school
lands, and the state now has the dis
tinction OF having the largest perma-
nent school fund of all the states in
the Union, regardless of population.
Wise management of the school
lands of this state will do as much for
the rich young state of Washington
There is no good reason for selling fer
tile school land for SO an acre when
by waiting few years it might be sold
at $50 an acre and add the difference
TO the permanent school fund. The
amazing development of the resources
of this state and the rapidity with
which the vacant lands are being set
tied make it certain that the value of
the school lands will be increased
many fold within the next twenty
years. Meanwhile it would be much
wiser to lease the lands at a good rem
tai than to sell them at a price that
will seem ridiculously small when
the school children of today come into
control of the affairs of the state
