A LESSON FOR THE KAISER.

Wolf Won Schierbrand contributes
to the North American Review most
instructive article on the Results OF
the German Elections" Nearly every
commercial treaty that Germany has
with other countries will expire on
the 31st of next December. It is OF
the utmost consequence to German
commerce that these, or most OF
them, should be renewed, and the
government has been fully disposed
to renew them when the time came
But there was an obstacle which
threatened to interpose itself-that
was, that the agrarian party, which
believes in high protection and is op
posed to commercial treaties, should
obtain a majority in the reichstag
The result of the recent elections has
been to remove the danger, and the
government is now assured of the
legislative support necessary to ena
BILE it to negotiate treaties with for
eign countries. The fortunate out
come is in large measure due to the
success of the socialists, who returned
no less than eighty-one of her candi
dates, and who, while determined op
ponents of the general policies of the
imperial government, are ardent sup
porters of it's commercial views. One
interesting and significant revelation
made by the election was the wonder
full growth of the socialists, whose
strength at the polls has doubled
within the past ten years. They rep
resent three million voters, or three
eighths of the total vote cast The,
will represent in the reichstag near
ly every populous and industrial cen
fact that the election districts hav'
not been laid out since 1872, when
unlike the condition existing today
the rural poulation greatly outnum
bered the urban, they would have re
turned, Mr.. Won Schierbrand says
one hundred and sixty representa-
tives to the new parliament. The SUP
port which the socialists will give t
the commercial policy of the govern
ment will not avail, however, to Sc
cure much consideration for them:
There are some persons who thin
it likely that the kaiser, now that tn
nation over which he rules has itsel
answered his bitter invectives ami

be devoted to the purposes set forth
in the will and in case of any malad-
ministration on the part of the trus-
tees in carrying out the terms of the
will, any citizen may go into a court
of equity and have the delinquent
executors removed and other trustees
appointed.
No one who is personally acquaint-
ed with the three trustees named by
the will believes that any such neces-
sity will ever arise, and it is men
toned only to give the public assur-
ance that it's rights are amply pro-
tected by the rules of equity.
The Statesman, therefore, will give
it's hearty support to any reasonable
proposition to secure for Walla Walla
county the location of the Stubble-
field home.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-09-10

his wholesale abuse Of socialists by
depositing nearly million more bal.
lots in favor of the latter than was
done five short years ago, will turn
over a new leaf. He assuredly has
done this ON other matters and occa-
sioas. In fact, it would be hard to
name an important foreign or domes
tic issue on which he has not changed
his mind during his reign. He is, too
open-minded on many topics and does
not hesitate to publicly proclaim
notifications in his faith and views
But l deem it very improbable thar
Wilhelm II. will change his mind
about socialists-as yet. There is too
much venom is his soul agains:: the
socialists, venom that has been gath
ering, drop by drop, since 1888. He
is a good hater, this kaiser, and a
rather vain, one might almost
say, conceited person, and the social
lists have hurt his feelings too often
to be so soon forgiven. Still, fate is
stronger than he. Not long ago
while in Copenhagen, he conversed for
an hour with the socialist mayor of
that town, whom he had met at that
extraordinary little Danish court-a
guest there like himself. Perhaps
circumstances ere long will compel
him to abandon his illogical attitude
towards that party whose men shape,
despite all he can do, the iestinies of
the nation in no small degree

THE WHEAT MARKET.

To a man up a tree it looks as if
the coast exporters and buyers of
wheat are making systematic effort
to bear the market and to hammer
down the price by convincing the
farmers that the present quotations
cannot be maintained for any length
OF time. Interviews are being given
out by men travelling over the Inland
Empire advising the farmers to sell
as a slump in the market is sure to
come within few days. These in
teriews should be taken for just what
they are worth and no more.
The manager of the Centennial
mills at Spokane declares that the
prices now being paid by millers for
wheat are outrageous and unwarrant-
ed, yet he says last years crop is
gone and that it is almost impossible
to get bluestem wheat in sufficient
quantities to meet the demands for
-four. In Walla Walla county the
greater part of the crop is harvested
uuUCl ouClICl, Out LII Cu0 o1OuoO
country harvest is only fairly begun
and there is danger of great loss ow-
ing to unreasonable rainfall. On -he
whole there is nothing in the situa-
ton that should make the farmer in
any hurry to sell his crop if he is so
fortunate as to have it in a snug
warehouse. The editor of the States
man is not a farmer nor a grain spec
ulator, but he would stake his judg-
ment on the proposition that wheat
will go higher rather than lower be-
fore the end of the year, and he
would not be surprised to see dollar
wheat before the next crop is harvest
ed. His opinion may not be as val
liable as that of the expert of the
Portland Commercial Review, who is
travelling over the Inland Empire
bearing the market, but it is just as
disinterested at any rate.

AGGRESSIVE FOREST RESERVA-
TON.

In an article entitled Aggressive
Forest Reservation" which appears
in the North American Review, Mr..
James P. Kimball makes a vigorous
protest against the wholesale seques-
tration from the public domain of
vast areas, sometimes in units OF
thousands of square miles, as forest
reserves. The ostensible object of
such reservations is to protect the
forests, but it appears that reserva-
tons made include regions which are
destitute Of forest in any measured
sense of the term, and some which
are even above the timber-line. The
extent of the forest reserves, Mr..
Kimball says, was 1857 square
miles in 1900, and with additions
made in 1902 by President Roosevelt
it now foots up $4,000 square miles,
an area equal to the combined areas
of the New England states together
with the area of Maryland. The pro-
cess Of reservation involves great
hardships to those who happen to
have made homes for themselves in
the regions set apart, for they can
use their property only as they are
permitted to do by the regulations OF
the interior department, which are at
times, Mr.. Kimbal AYERS, admins
tered arbitrarily and even unlawfully
Not only so, but the industries OF
stock-raising and wool-grOwing, which
have done so much for the west are
threatened with ruin Says Mr.. Kim
ball:
upon the proclamation of forest
reserve, which cancels all rights of
further entry thereupon under the
general land laws, land-holders and
mine-Owners who reside in the re-
served region suddenly find them
selves in a new and unexpected envi-
ronment. They are bound hand and
foot to strange general rules and spec
ial orders under formal authority OF
the secretary of the interior, but a1-
ministered primarily by bureau divis-
ion officers of the department of the
interior, through local supervisory Of
ficers of several grades, some ofwhom
may be nonresident. No longer a
free agent. as an American citizen
should be, the settler is called upon
to submit his avocation and daily acts
to the control of personal authority,
eyoroisod without form or force OF
law. To stand up against this implies
conflict with United States authority,
which, though unsupported by specific
laws, is not wanting in means for an
noyance, sometimes equally e1fec
tive as an instrument for coercion
In a contest with authority, the set
tiers only recourse is to a United
States district court, and in most OF
the western states such recourse car
be had only at single point often re
mote fronI the settlers residence.

THE STUBBLEFIELD HOME.

Judging from the opinions of promi-
ing paper, the position of the StaJes-
man on the proposition of the county
commissioners to build costly coun-
ty poor house has the general en-
1orsement of the public. Hitherto
the morning paper had been non-com-
initial on the question.
The Statesman has demonstrated
from facts and figures that the build
ing and furnishing of poorhouse at
q cost of not less than twenty thou
sand dollars and the employment of
q superintendent and a large force
of assistants would be unwarranted
extravaganza, placing an unneces-
sary burden upon the taxpayers.
For the last year the number Of
paupers maintained by the county
has averaged less than ten and they
have been kept at reasonable cost
under the contract system. That they
have been well cared for was proven
by an investigation conducted recent
ly by the board of commissioners.
The Statesman does not question
the motives of the commissioners in
proposing the building of poor
house. All three of the board are
honest, humane gentlemen and there
is no reason to doubt that they have
been acting with view of caring for
the INDECENT charges of the county
in the best manner possible None
of them can have any personal inter
est in the erection of costly poor
house unless it is a desire to provide
a comfortable home for superannua+-
ed newspaper men in the years to
come.
The Statesman believes that the
best thing the commissioners can do
in view of public sentiment on the
poorhouse proposition is to join with
the city council in making an appro-
priation sufficient to secure for Walla
Walla the location of the Stubblefeld
home with its generous endowment
of one-hundred thousand dollars for
the care of widows and orphans This
home will be available for the use OF
large part of the county's poor
leaving only small number to be
cared for under the contract system
now in vogue.
1t would be a shame for this city
to lose the institution contemplated
by the benefcent provisions in the
will of the late Joseph Stubblefield
By the raising of fund of ten thou
sand dollars gift of one-hundrej
thousand dollars for widows AMI
orphans home may be secured Once
established the home will have 9
right to expect aid from the state leg
islature and in time it will be recog
nized as state Institution.
The objection has been offered thai
the trustees are not under bonds ani
that the city and county would have
no guarantee that the money donated
would be properly used. In answe1
it may be said that whenever th4
city and county have complied will
the terms of the will by raising thu
ten thousand dollars required, they
will have right to demand that tht
one-hundred thousand dollars. as wei
as the additional ten thousand dollars

JAM AND THE SHAMROCK.

We of America can understand cas-
lily why Rritishers resent the increase
of one cent jar on jan. which Sir
Thomas Upton has impcs, 1 on the in
habitants of the empire.
Sir Thomas has put the cart before
the horse. If he had raised the price
of jam before he attempted to raise
the cup, patriotic impulses would
have led Britishers to take the matter
philosophically, pay. the extra penny,
mayhap purchase an extra jar, and
await results.
Then the consolation of jam would
have smoothed the defeats. Buried
nose-deep in a jar of jam, what Brit
isher would have objected to the ex-
ira penny per? Jam isn't such bad
solace in sorrow A surplus may
bring reaction, it is true, but the
ache is amidships instead of under
the hatband.
Commodore Lipton-we can afford
to crafty his titular desires in these
days of his 100000 dependency
as captain of food products has per.
haps forgotten that he has raised the
price of a necessity instead of lux
ury. Like pie to the Yank and hot
biscuit to the southerner, so is jam
to the English family. Sir Thomas,
as lord of the English table, knows
that a cent jar will produce the rev.
enue. He has just been unfortunate
in the time of visitation. The Sham
rock must be paid for-it is royal
good fun-and why not take it out of
iam-eaters?
