TO WHOM CREDIT is DUE.

General Passenger Agent S. B. Cal
derhead of the Washington and Co
l,,mbia River railroad is entitled to
all the credit for having organized
the excursion of Seattle and Tacoma
business men to Walla Walla. Mr..
Calderhead is a man of such energy
and determination that he always sue
ceeds in everything that he under
takes. He is entitled to the thanks
of all the people of Walla Walla for
his efforts in this instance to adver-
tise the town and to promote better
trade relations with the Sound cities.
For the excellent arrangements
made to care for the visitors upon
their arrival in this city credit should
be given to John B. Catron, of the
Hotel Dacres, J. ]. Kaufman and F.
F. Root. Through Mr. Catron's un
firing efforts rooms were provided for
all the excursionists in hotels, lodg
ing houses and residences, and
Messrs. Kaufman and Root met the
train at Ellensburg and assigned
every visitor to a room long before
Walla Walla was reached. 1t has
been due to such rare foresight and
executive ability that the excursion
and the arrangements for the enter
tainmnt of the city's guests have
been made such pronounced sue

THE EXPLANATION is EASY.

The city council did not hesitate to
reporting that there is plenty of water
in Mill creek and that it runs down
hill. but it cannot see its way clear
to allow $500 to carry out Councilman
Smiths plan Of sinking wells on the
Thomas ranch to ascertain at what
depth an adequate flow of subterran.
can water can be found.
1t is plain that the First National
Bank is still using its subtle in
f1uence to induce the council to aban-
don the city's valuable water right
on the Thomas ranch in order to in,
crease the value of the land. on which
the bank still has a claim. despite
all assertions to the contrary It is
known that when the citizens water
committee made its investigations
last winter a deed to the ranch was
in escrow and the bank had a cipcl
on the land. OF course there are
many ways of hiding the true owner
ship of property. but the people Of
Walla Walla cannot be fooled in thi:
instance. The bank wants the city
either to pay $4,000 for half the
ranch. or to abandon its $40 900 watel
right and $4,000 development work
Either plan would enable the banl
to make a good profit out of its in
vestm0nt in the land
That is the true explanation O
this persistent effort to have the cit,
spend s250,000 to get tepid and i'm
pure water from Mill creek and ther
half as much more in settling claims
for the infringement of riparian
rights
Even if the Thomas springs propo
sition is submitted to the people
along with the Mill creek bankruptcy

MATTER OF CONSCIENCE.

The issue of corruption in publ
office is even higher, as a cardinal
feature Of popular government than
that Of prudent management of mu-
inequalities and commonwealth.
The proper administration Of public
corporation demands excellence OF
character and executive ability, and
but few men are qualified for the ar
duous and ungrateful work Few, too
among those who are competent are
willing to make the sacrifices anu
take the affronts which executive
positions carry.
Good government as an admins
trative function, which in its calm
persistent course operates seeming
ly by established method, is not great
ly attractive of itself. Howsoever
successfully a large institution may
be directed the beneficial results are
not such as would ordinarily evoke
intense enthusiasm. 1t is unfortu
nate that the body of citizens do NJ,
adequately comprehend the Difficult
tICS VI oil SACCuIlNS OUlCt OI IuG
trials of conscientious officials; but
the ability to fttingly appreciate the
plain yet complex and perplexine
factors in administration is quality
that will develop with better under
standing of public business.
AS a general condition good gov
eminent is prosaic task. whicn
stands for material improvement
Corruption in public Office strikes
deeper, in tnat it is not only an at
tempt to disarrange the SYSTEMS OF
management and oiStOrt the laws, blu:
is also an Offense against citizenship
and the morals which control and ele
vate society. The issue Of corruption
is dramatic, exciting popular indig
nation because it embraces phases
concerning public morals, in addition
TO the features Of good government
The average citizen who is loya
to popular institutions, who values hi,
citizenship, who takes pride in a higl
standard Of service in public Office
who demands exactitude and rectitude
from officials in the discharge O.
their duties, and who, in general
considers official crime an attacl
upon American methods, can scarcei,
avoid classifying the Doodle issue a:
matter Of conscience, to which al
other issues are subservient. The
principle which is emphasized dis
tinguishes between right ant
wrong, in public life and in oficia
| transactions. Therefore, an issue O
conscience is included with an issue
of patriotism and an issue of admin
| istration.
Most certainly it is not good fol
| society and popular government tina
candidates should seek public Office
| for the purpose Of making money b,
violating their oaths and disobeyins
laws which they are sworn to de
fend, enforce and improve. Popular
institutions could not long survive i
public Office were permitted to be al
instrument of illicit personal gain.

F ENGLISH PORTS ARE CLOSED

Joseph Chamberlain has shot his
first bolt In it is included an issue
as vital to the United States as to
England.
Frankness and directness, essen
TALLY the qualities of the man, char
acterize his utterance. He declares
bluntly that English trade is stag
nant that Germans and Americans
crowd the Englishman in his home
market, that England is in danger of
sinking to the Level of a fifth rate ma
ton. and that if the decline is to be
stemmed, the revered and long es-
tablished principle of British free
trade must be abandoned as a worn
out hypothesis.
Chamberlain possesses the virtue re-
freshing in a statesman, of abiding
by a straight issue. He urges a tariff
on food stuffs-that bogy at mention
OF which the old-line conservatives
all but cry bloody murder. The
Chamberlain idea is the very simple
proposition of doing others to avoid
being done 1t involves merely a
closer commercial welding of the
British Empire, protection of the
home market, preference to colony
lraw products, in return for which the
colony trade in English manufactures
will be even more certainly Sc
cured to John Bull than under the
existing circumstances. 1t means a
commercial declaration of war
against Germany and the United
States.
The English imperialist supports
his contention elaborately, giving fig
ures and maintaining that the in
| creased cost of living to the laborer
| would not be SO great as pictured
His detail is of little consequence to
us. The point is that his policy, if
adopted by the English people, de-
spite its attractions from the British
point of view-neither nations nor
men are condemned for acting in self
| defense-would mean serious results
to the industrial, commercial and
producing interests of the United
| States. It would threaten actual dis
aster to American farmers
The effect which would be wrought
in the United States is SO obvious as
to need no elaborauon. England, to
| udy, is me only IdlSe udtlOu WHICH
has not taken refuge in tariffs
Consequently, it has been both the
marken for outside production anG
the dumping ground for overproduc
ton of manufactured articles. This
same is true of crop surplus. Oul
cotton, corn and wheat exports g,
principally to England. The Cham
berlain plan would not tax maize
corn-but would attack our whea
and probably our cotton, since Eng
land has much to gain in stimulating
the cotton production Of Egypt ant
India.

lish market. and the chief resource
Of the United States export trade i:
gone. The fall in prices, the decrease
in the farmers harvest time cash re
turns on his labor would be large
How great, it is not possible to see.
The word disaster is conservative
ly used. Such disaster must come
sooner or later, regardless Of Cham
berlain. and means only that inter

Patrolman Mccormack. who was return
ing to the Four Courts after having taken
patient TO the City Hospital. alighted from
a Market street car in time to see the run
away approaching.
He hurried across the street, and just as
the horses reached the south edge Of the
sidewalk he jumped for their brides.
The horse furthest from him fell. but
his estimate of the distance had been ac-
curate, and his fingers closed over the reins
OF the other animal
Then came a fierce struggle between the
two crazed horses and the gigantic police
man. Mccormack was at one time a noted
football player. and his early experiences
in the art OF rough-and-tumble warfare
stood him In good stead.
Although seemingly possessed with I'M
conQuerable strength. Mccormack slowly.
but steadily, forced the upright horse down
beside his PROSTATE companion, and. with
the assistance of a bystander, succeeded in
pinning the heads Of both animals to the
ground.
After Strengthening out the tangle that
the animals had caused in the harness and
quieting the frightened brutes. Mccormack
telephoned for Mr.. Lee, who escorted his
wife to their home.
Mccormack was little the worse for his
struggle with the horses. and resumed his
duties after making a report of the oc-
currence at the Four Courts.
