THE GARDEN CITY.

Walla Walla is known far and wide
as the Garden City" The wonderful
productivity of her soil; the variety
and excellence of her garden and or
chard products. and the mildness of
her climate have conduced to bring
ing together here all the multiform
gastronomical delights that the typi-
cal garden should contain. Here
the traveller. tired with long journeys,
stand-up lunches, unedible, indigesti-
BILE. hopes to find a table set with vi
ands that will appease hunger,
soothe a weary stomach and crafty
the epicurean taste 1t should be the
greatest care of every hotel man, res
tauranteur, and boarding house geeper
to set a table that befttingly repre-
sents the locality and maintains it's
reputation as a garden city. 1t can
not be expected that the caterers of
Walla Walla will set out as elaborate
menu, for twenty-five cents, or
half-a-dollar. as can be had at the
Waldorf-Astoria for ten dollars, but
every dish should be strictly nice,
fresh. tempting to the palate and good
20 set down to. So will the reputa
ton Of the Garden City be main,
tanned. and many a tired pilgrim OF
the road make this his destination

TURKEY MUST BE CIVILIZED.

The great powers owe it as duty
to the world TO civilize Turkey. In
these days Of telegraphs and cables.
universally diffused information. and
guarantee security Of person, there
should not be a spot in any recog-
nized government, having representa-
tives at the capitals of enlightened
nations, where a citizen or subject of
any nation could not travel with
safety, having his passport. or could
be murdered with impunity The
United States sinks into nothingness
in any quarter of the world where il
does not protect its citizens from mas
sacre by any person or people of a
foreign nation. SO do all the other
civilized nations. There are nations
and poples that cannot be taught any
modern idea save by the stern arbi-
trament Of war, and for such. let there
be war, and plenty Of it, until they
be taught. Il is only sentimental
namby-pamby that stays the sword
from such cattle. in the name of hui
manity, while they murder massacre
and assassinate, with medieval fe.
rocity. There is but one way to civ
ifize the ferocious denizens of the
Balkans, and that is by shooting mod
ern ideas into them.

TWO DAMS ELS.
youths COMPANION.

Mr.. F. G. Abbott, who made a jour
ney into Macedonia, writes an idyl
with a moral in relating his expert
ences in getting a drink of water He
refined in beside a wayside fountain
at which a young girl was filling her
pitcher.
The damsel was very fair to look
upon says Mr. Abbott, and l was very
thirsty So | said: Give me I pray
thee, a little water of thy pitcher to
drink"
And she said: Drink thou, and
will also withdraw my pitcher that
thy mule may drink likewise'
And l, carried away by the charm
CT the scene, asked, act for infOrma-
ton. but for the sake Of hearing the
music of her voice:
Whose daughter art thou?"
And she answered: Mind thine own
business, O, stranger"
And | went away crestfallen, pond
ering over the difference between
MesOpotamia in the days of Abraham
and Macedonia in my own.
As | entered the village of Provista
q second damsel came forth with hel
pitcher On her shoulder. She was
not fair to look upon. | made bold &c
ask her to direct me to the house OF
man to whom | was recommended
/ And she made haste and let down her
, pitcher from her shoulder, and showed
me the way. And I bowed my head
| and offered her a silver coin, which
she declined. Thereupon | offered heI
a water lily from my belt, which she
/ accepted with a modest blush, and
forthwith she ceased to look plain.
Verify. it is not always the fairest
vessel that contains the sweetest
wine.

Schwab arose to a certain height, and
then tumbled from it. There is rea-
son for believing that, while Corey
has arisen, he is too stable and wise
TO tumble An interesting fact con-
corning him is that he does not get
a million-dollar salary. The same
might have been said of Schwab, but
few took the trouble of saying it. The
retired president did, however, get
100000, and this is fine salary.
There are few who get it, and fewer
who by any possibility earn it. Mr..
Corey has an opportunity such as
comes to a few young men. He may
be one of the central figures of the
industrial world for a long time to
come.

TAXING PROSTITUTION.

Patrick Winston's Weekly at Spo-
ene says:
Ten thousand dollars are eXacted
yearly in this city from prostitutes
AMI covered into the city treasury to
lessen the burden of taxation upon
the shoulders of the property owners.
The money derived from this wretch
ed source is exacted in the shape OF
fines paid by the victims, who volun-
tarily appear each month at the po-
lice court and deposit a fixed portion
of their earnings in the city treasury.
This system is both cowardly and
demoralizing.
1T is cowardly to refuse to license
a business which is tolerated and pro-
tected for. revenue only, and it is de-
moralizing to permit an unlawful
practice 10 continue while pretending
to punish those engaged in it. The
plain truth is that we are protecting
and encouraging this form of vice for
the money there is in it.
The mannlier way would be to IL
cense those engaged in this Occupa-
ton, recognizing it as necessary
evil. as is done in other countries.
If this were done it would be i'm
possible to levy blackmail upon these
unfOrtunates, and the unseemly SQUAD
bic that is going on as to what por-
ton of the wages of sim shall go 10
the landlord, what portion to the relief
of the taxpayer and what portion be
left to the plucked victim would be
avoided.
1T is true that this system would
deprive the daily papers Of this city
Of their most prominent feature, but
even this could be borne with by a
long-suffering and nauseated public.
"Hereafter according to the latest
official scale, it will cost $50 a year
to openly ply the avocati0n of a pros
titute in this city.
Against this system Of eXtOrtiOn
the women are powerless. They can
not even cry aloud. They must go
like dumb beasts to the slaughter. So
long as the property owner demands
from them his pound of flesh they
must submit

Then There Was Room.

They stood at the corner and
watched several street cars go by
each one filed to its utmost capacity
Then there was an alteration. No
one seemed to know just what the
trouble was, but as a well filled car
approached they were disputing and
gesticulating in a most excited man
ner. Of course, someone on the car
saw them and exclaimed:
There's a fight, sure
There was a scramble to get a look
at the disputants, and various com
ments from various people.
Both drunk" said one.
I'll bet the little man can do him. -
said another.
Say. But it'll be beauty added
a third.
The car was just passing as they
grappled and went down together, and
I haly a minute later there were only
two men left on the rear platform
and twelve seats inside were vacant
Then as the crowd reached the
spot two men got on their feet anG
one cried:
Run for it,"
! And the other replied:
1T never falls
Fifteen or twenty men trailed after
the fleeing fighters. And they We're
sore. Nor were their tempers i'm

piled to consumers at reasonable
rates. Walla Walla lacks manufac-
tories. and the pay roll that goes with
them. If power be obtained, there is
no reason why there should not be
factories employing a thousand men
here within a year or two. This city
is the center of a large and very &C
tive and prosperous community, pro-
ducing largely of products that are
shipped away to be manufactured. 1t
would be entirely feasible to turn
these into the finished products at
home. There is no reason why this

of power. Canneries, paper mills,
fruit dryers, creameries, and many
other industries that flourish else
where would do we'll here, if the
power could be obtained. Electric
power will also revolutionize the loca-
ton of mills and factories. 1t would
not be necessary, with such power,
to locate a -four mill on the inaccessi-
BILE border of some variable stream.
A site on Main street, or by the side
Of the railroad track, with a post in
front of it, would be all that would
be required. factories could be placed
most convenient for shipment, and
the machinery would run whether the
water in the creek were low or high.

| would be built to accommodate the

everybody profit by bringing 70 Wal
la Walla a good supply of electric
power.

THE MAN AFTER SCHWAB.

William E. Corey is the new execu-
tive head of the United States Steel
corporation. He is but 81 years of
age. Since he was 16 he has been in
the, employ Of the Carnegie enter
prises, and since q, in charge OF i'm
portant departments. Mr.. Corey is
an example of success. He chose his
line Of endeavor, and he has adhered
to it. He did all that was required Of
him, and of his own volition he did
more. He devoted his leisure to
study and experiment. AS a result he
perfected some valuable processes
and the appliances with which to car
ry them out. He has a sound consti-
tuition and a sound mind. There is
every reason to hope that he has fol
lowed the footsteps of Mr.. Schwab as
far as he will. For the third time he
has been elected to a place vacated
by Schwab. but in this instance the
possibility arose not from the success
but the failure of his successor

FOREIGN COOKERY.
Wholesale Dealers.

Another foreign custom rapidly
making its way in this country is
the use of an appetizer to begin the
meal. Once upon a time there was
no advance-courier to the heavier
courses but raw oysters and clans.
Now these may be varied by oyster
cocktails, anchovy toast, cavlare
toast. deviled sardines, sardellenb
canapes of all sorts, or by any one of
half a dozen other appetizers. At a
large function these may precede the
shell-fsh, but often they are served
instead of these, and at a small home
dinner they may even take the place
of soup if the remainder Of the meal
is heavy in its nature.
The salad has become so much a
matter of course in many homes that
its use can hardly be advised as a
novelty Yet so good a thing should
not be let pass without a word of
praise When all Americans who
make pretensions or even have aspi-
rations to be good livers have reach
ed the point where the salad is as
common a dinner feature as the soup
and has in large measure superse-
ded the sweet, the national digestion
may feel that the day of its deliver
ance draweth nigh.

NEED FOR ELECTRIC POWER

II is hoped that the promise of a
large apount OF electric power for the
city of Walla Walla. held out by the
new purchasers of the gas and cleo
trio plant in the city Of Walla Walla
will be speedily realized. The one
thing which this city needs to give 1t

temporary but lasting-is plenty OF
merchantable electric power. sup

Men and Matters of Moment con-
tains many brilliant paragraphs
treating of subjects that just now are
foremost in the public mind, and is
thoroughly illustrated. The third OF
The Pilgrims papers on those Amer
leans who are guiding the ethical
sense of the nation treats Of Mark
Twain, humOrist, man of letters and
champion of right. The author, Sam
uel Moffett, is Mark Twain's nephew,
AMI therefore his article is charming
ly intimate. AS supplement to the
September issue of The Pilgrim, IS
published a pastel portrait of Mark
Twain by Jules NJ Gaspard, master
of pastel portraiture, which makes it
suited to framing. In fiction, The
Pilgrim for September is rich. The
stories especially illustrated are, The

Capt. Burgess Believes Educational
Policy Might Be Carried Out in Utah.

Captain w. T. Burgess says: Were
a member of that august body. the senate
of the United States, | would convince
myself Of two facts.
First Is Senator smoot a polygamist
and does he SO live?
Second. Do the Apostles of Mormon

Furthermore promise and swear that /
will eternal emnity toward the govern
ment of the United States. and will

IF found either charge true l should
vote to unseat him.
LAS to the first, does Senator Smoot
live polygarnous life? If so, 1t certainly
disqualifies him from seat in the sem
ate, and a jury. in a civil court. would
be justified in indicting him on the pre-
sumption that the second was true.
Second. If such an oath is taken and
subscribed to it constitutes him an an

POLYGAMY AMERICAN.
Wilbur Jones Gives This as Reason
for Unseatinq Snnoot.

Wilbur Jones declares that: There are
several reasons why Reed smoot should
not be allowed to take his seat in the
United States senate KS -
First. and foremost of an, when titan
was clamoring to be admitted as state
it was made known TO her f5y thelpowers
that be that she would Rave 10 adopt
constitution irrevocally abolishing in the
State. Now compel her 10 1fye up to
her agreement. If now the senate seats
any poygamist memper, by that act. the
senate Acknowledges its weakness, its
inability to COPE with rebellion. and real
ly hoaors insubordinatior.
Second, the precedent is already es
tablished and rightly so, in the case OF
Roberts.
Third. the women and homes of the
United States demand it, \ nation can
be no higher than its homes and history
proves that the DOWNFALL of nations has
been due to corrupt homes.
Fourth. polygamy is un-American.
Now lat the senate take a bold and de-
cided stand once for all that IL Utah
elects a polygamist TO the United States

seat. and that a violation Of that com
pact will not he tolerated by the United
