Attorney General B. r. Wise, of
New South Wales, has become the
author of new law similar to the
compulsory arbitration act of New
Zealand, and the people there are con-
fident that the long struggle between
labor and capital is at an end, and
that there will be no more expensive
strikes and loeKouts 10 call for the
sa crifice of thousands Of dollars and
scores of lives. The act provides that
if a dispute arises it must be referred
to the State court Of arbitration for
settlement, and that anyone who
strikes, locks out, or has anything
to do with melting trouble shall be
guilty of q misdemeanor and shall be
punished by a fine and imprisonment.
The general result, Mr.. Wise says, will
be that a greater stability will be
given to industry. Employers need
no longer be afraid that their calcula-
tons will be upset by sudden ces-
satiOn of work because, even though
disputes should arise, the act provides
that work must go on while the diff
Guilty is being referred to and settled
by the court Of arbitration. On the
other hand the workman is in a posi-
ton Of greater security than he has
ever before enjoyed, both because he
can not be locked out and because the
court can take notice Of any abuse,
or injustice, or wrong in the condition
of his employment, and, by the exer-
Else of its power to declare common
rule, level up the conditions in the
best conducted and regulated estab-
lishments. In other words, sweat
shops will be driven out of business
at once, and all men must receive liv-
ing wages. Trades union will also be
relieved of the danger Of having their
funds eaten up by sympathy strikes,
and all that sort Of thing, and in no
more instances will the wealthy
unions have to support the weaker
ones. New South Wales has had wis
dom enough to see the light and fol-
low the good example set by New
Zealand, and it is strange that Ameri-
cans do not take similar step.
Strikes and lockouts are behind the
times.

Few men went to college a genera
ton or two ago unless they intended
10 enter one of the learned profess
sions, and the proportion Of intending
lawyers, teachers, physicians and min
lsters was pretty uniform in each
class. But this is all changed. In the
graduating class Of Harvard this year
about hundred and ninety of the
total Of more than sixShundred intend
10 go into business. Law and teach
Ing, together, attract about the same
number, and only forty-six intend to
be physicians, and six will preach.
The significant fact to be noted in
these figures is that, in spite of the
lure Of the almighty dollar, so many
young men who intend to engage in
commercial pursuits have thought it
worth while to seek the higher educa-
ton.

BY courtesy of the authorities GER
tain club Of women recently question
ed the six hundred children in ~ city
grammar-school about the money
earned by them or given to them, and
the uses they make Of it. The children
were Of both sexes, represented
both native and immigrant parcntage,
ranged In age from nine to fifteen
years, and belonged to the class TO
which the average citizen belongs,
that Of the comfortably poor" All
Of these children but one boy-who
may have been a humorist-admitted
that they frequently had money to
spent or to save. Fewer than one
third received an allowance. Five
sixths earned more or less money.
Two-thirds said that they generally
got money in haphaZard fashion,
whenever l ask for it," Easy come,
easy go. The money thus carelessly
given was as carelessly spent, most
Of it for candy. Not half the children
were advised by their parents what
to do with their nickels and dimes.
In this respect American parents made
the worst showing Of ALL Theirs will
be the blame If, twenty years hence,
their children are living from hand
to mouth when children Of the i'm
migrants are buying real estate. To
give son or daughter regular al
lowance Is a wise measure, but that
is only the beginning of wisdom. He
or she should be taught to get the
worth Of money spent, and exhorted,
too, not to spend all. Most Ameri-
cans dislike to seem parsimonious, and
therefore neglect to talk over financial
matters with their children. Their
German and Italian neighbors are not
so afraid of inculcating thrift and fore
thought. Would that the native could
grasp the truth they act upon, that
a spendthrift is as foolish creature
as a miSer

| FAVOR ANNUAL
NAVAL INCREASE
Naval Officers Agree With Admiral
Dewey That Bigger Navy
Is Needed.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Admiral Dew
ely reflected the genertl opinion OF
naval officers when he called atten
ton to the weakness Of the American
navy as compared with those Of Great
Britain, France and Germany. Wnilt
al the naval officers take great in.
terest in the maneuyers, they assert
frankly that the last one was ridicu
lousy small and only served to call
the attention of the world to the small
number Of vessels under the United
States flag. The number was so
small as to make the United States
appear mean in the eyes of Jle
world.
The United States has only fourteen
frst-class battleships, including those
under construction. They are the
Alabama Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kear-
sarge, Kentucky, Maine, Massachu-
sets, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode
Island. Virginia and Wisconsin. 1t is
true that most OF these battleships
are the best in the world, but three
Of them-the Massachusetts. Indiana
anl OregOn-are ten years old and
II many respects obsolete. This is
but a poor showing compared with
the home fleet of Great Britain, which
IS more than double the number Of
drst class bat,leships in the whole
United States navy.
Compared With England.
When a comparison Of cruisers is
made. the showing is miserable Naval
officers suggest that those persons
who are so confident Of our naval
strength might Well ask themselves
what would fourteen battIeships Of the
American navy do in conflict with the
home feet of Great Britain, which
consists Of thirty W3rships.
This is q question TO which the
country should give serious thought,
naval officers say. President Roose-
Welt. Secretary Moody, Admiral Dew
ey and every officer in the service is
in favor Of largely increasing the
navy.
Congress now is alive to the stu
alton. and the proposition 70 build a
certain number Of ships each year I'M
Ill the United States takes proper
place as a naval power, has many
strong supporters.
Admiral Deweys note Of warning
will. it is believed, have a good effect
as the people OF the country have alb
solute confidence in his opinion, and
will come to the support Of congress
many members of which have fol-
years advocated a larger navy.

Stubbiefield Home.

II developed last night that the city
council and trustees Of the Stubble-
field estate are somewhat at variance
regarding a site for the proposed
StubbIefeId home. AS the matter
stands Councilman Smith said that
little Roadway could be made The
trustees have so construed the pro-
visions Of the viii that the $4,000 the
city or county must donate for site
and buildings to secure the home
must be placed in their hands entire
ly to be used as they may direct. For
that reason the council has hesitated
to set aside certain parts of the city
park in Alder street for that purpose.
Councilman Smith said that the cOun-
Gil had offered the trustees a certain
tract Of the citys lands lying east of
The old race track but that the offer
had been rejected.
President Turner will appoint q
committee of three to confer with the
city council and board of county com
missiOners relative 20 carrying out
the provisions of the will in so far
as possible. From the tenor Of COun
Gilman Smiths remarks last night it
is taken that the council hesitates to
turn over the sum the will specifies
for the city or county to secure the
home, inasmuch as the trustees Of
the estate are acting as such without
being compelled to upt Up bonds for
the faithful performance of their
duties.
President Turner will endeayor to
find two persons TO act as delegates
from Walla Walla TO the National II
rigation Congress which convenes at
Ogden for five days, commencing Sep

Quired TO pay their own expenses.

Then KulDansBfs eyes fel! on Bon

idea. Mrs. Bonezek should come to
his house and take care OF him until
her husband had paid Kulpanski's
debts
This seemed hard proposition to
Bonezek. but he agreed to it. and
Mrs. Bonezek went TO the hulpanski
home.
Three days ago the last of the debts
was paid and the condition Of the
sale Of groceries had been complied
with. B0nezek went to the Kulpan-

to return to her rightful home.
No amount of urging either by the

HANNA Has WEAK HEART.

that about two years ago Senator

heart
He went to New York and consult
ed the most eminent specialist to be
found there you may live a good

specialist, but you must be very
careful; excitement. strain, overwork
may produce the most disastrous
consequences. You must go slow and
learn to take it easy, or your hear,

From that day to this Senator Han

sons why MI Hanna has decided tC
keep out Of active politics as much as
possible and it also explains why he is

ANOTHER LAW KNOCKED OUT.
RIOT Felony for Man to Live Witt
immoral Woman.

Spokane-Judge Richardson has
granted liberty to Louis Deathridge
On habeas corpus, holding that the
section Of the new state law making
it d felony for a man to live with an
immoral woman is unconstitutional.
IN brief, the section, which is the sec
end act, is held to be void because il
is not covered by the title to the act.
The title and the first section makes
it a felony for persons to live of the
earnings Of fallen women or to solicit
persons TO so to the houses of i'll
fame. Speaking about the decision,
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Barn
hart said:
The decision will make It almost
impossible to secure convictions IN
der the new law, and it is to be re
GREETED that the title was not pre-
pared sufficiently to cover the intent
Of the lawmakers. It is a fairly easy
matter TO secure evidence Of a man
living with an immoral woman if such
conditions exist. but it is almost i'm
possible to prove that a man lives off
the earnings Of such a woman
Deathbridge had been arrested by
the police for living with his wife,
who is said to run a house Of Ill fame
at Wilbur. The test Of the act came
up on an application fer the release
Of the defendant under habeas corpus,

CLUB TAKES ACTION
County Will Have Exhibit at
St. Louis Exposition.
WANT $1,000 TOWARD FUND
Commercial Club Last Night Pledges
$500 and City and County Will
Be Asked for Similar Sums.

The Commercial Club last nigh,
voted to raise at least $500 toward a
fund for a special Walla Walla county
exhibit at the ST. Louis exposition
next year, provided the city and
sum. This sum was set aside after
considerable discussion whether it
| was advisable for the county to make
an individual exhibit or to cooperate
with the state in setting forth the re
sources and products of the county.
A committee Of three, composed Of
c. L. Whitney, Councilman Smith and
Joseph Merchant, was appointed to
solicit the city council and board of
commissioners to cooperate in financ-
ing the proposition. The committee
was empowered to proceed with the
work Of purchasing suitable Jars for
preserving fruits and also TO secure
an expert from the state commission
er's office at Olympia to come to Wal
la Walla and make a selection Of
fruits and vegetables now available.
Mr.. Whitney urged that as only a few
weeks remained in which choice fruits
could be obtained that prompt action
was necessary.
The only expense attached to the
project will be the collecting of The
exhibit and placing it on board the
cars, the fair commission guarantee
ing the transportation charges and
cost of fitting up the exhibit at the
fair grounds. The matter Of prOvid-
ing appropriate advertising matter 10
be used in connection with the eX-
hibit was also discussed at some
length, though no action was taken.
The club has several thousand folders
setting forth the resources of the val
ley and these will probably accom-
pany the exhibit and be handed out
to VISITORS
