If the railroads should control the
next republican state convention and
have a majority in the next leglsla-
ture. Wilson will have an excellent
chance to regain the seat which he
won through railroad influence in
1895. Wilson is the smoothest and
shrewdest politician in the state and
he is likely to surprise some OF his
enemies who have been calling him a
dead one ever since the election OF
Foster in 1899.

TAXPAYERS ENDORSE THE PLAN

throughout the county asking toe
board of commissioners to appropriate
ten thousand dollars to insure the 10
cation in Walla Walla Of the Stubble-
field nome are being generally signed
by taxpayers. But little oppo-
sitiOn TO the proposition Is
reported from any quarter. 1t
will certainly be credit to
the city to have such a home and
the commissioners will do well t.
grant the request Of the taxpayers
Only a few weeks remain to comply
with the terms of the will for secur-
ing the s125,000 endowment, and 1t
will now be up to the commissioners
to see that the purpose Of Joseph
Stubblefield's beneficenCe shall not
fail SO far as this city is concerned.
The abandonment of the plan to
build a county home costing about
twenty thousand dollars will enable
the board to give half of that amount
to the Subjected home for widows
and orphans without any great IN
crease in the rate of taxation. 1t will
be a good investment as the county
will get the use of $125 900 or more
for the care Of the "pOOl and lntlrm
by putting up less than One-twelfth OF
that amount.

FOSTER WON'T PULL OUT.

Senator Foster comes out flatfooted
in an interview and declares that he
will stay in the senatorial race de-
spite the multiplicity Of candidates.
He believes that he has served the
people faithfully and deserves a re-
election. He might have added that
some Of the people he has served
faithfully. such as George Stevenson,
have assured him of their continued
devotion and encouraged him to stay
in the race. The railroads are prob
ably playing q double game with Eos
ter and Hamilton for the purpose Of
laying them bCtn on the shelf AMI Civ
ing the senatOrship to King couny. II
it is true as reported that Sam Piles
of Seattle has formed a combina zion
with Governor Mcbride and Harold
Preston that will include in it's pro-
gram the passage Of a railroad COM
mission law. the lobby will of course
oppose Piles and give its support to
John L. Wilson, Judge Thomas Burke
or some other candidate who has
proved his loyalty to the interests of
the Dig corporations. The Northern
Pacific railroad is under lasting obi
cations to Wilson for securing the
passage of the lieu land law. which
has enabled it to trade great tracts
or worthless land for valuable timber
lands, and the Great Northern rail-
road would prefer Wilson to any 9th

FAVORS FROM RAILROADS.

If the benefit conferred upon the
railroad is greater than the benefit
received by the president who travels
free. in the case of a short and unim-
portant trip, it follows naturally that
in case Of such a tour as President
Roosevelt recently made he would
be under no conceivable obligation in
accepting the best the carrying com
panies choose to offer. The statement
is made, separated, and not denied,
that the railroad company on whose
special train the president left Wash
ingtOn for his recent progress over
the country paid all the expenses of
that tour, including the lavish center
tainment Of all the members of the
party from the start to the finish. A
friend of the president" in the
course OF a statement given the New
York Tribune, very truthfully argues
that Mr.. Roosevelt realizes that IL
such a TRIP a president could scarcely
be expected to defray the cost of a
special tain cut Of his private
purse Estimates of the cost of the
transcCntinental tour average a quar-
ter Of a million dOllars) The implica-
ton is. not that Mr.. Roosevelt should
not travel with so large an encourage
if he cannot afford it, but that. since
railroads can afford it, they should be
allowed the pleasure of paying for
him. This happy conclusion does not
however, take account Of certain pref
udiCes entertained, no doubt unrea
sOnably. by the American people
They are disinclined to see their pres
ident ngaged in advertising a rail
road. A recent ambassador at Wash
ington was recalled because he was
exposed touting for certain brand of
champagne. The avocation is not an
exalted one. The people are so sell
sitive concerning the presidential
dignity that they are inclined to be
lieve it should be held above the sus-
picion even of obligation to a railroad
corporation. Mr.. Roosevelt's integri-
