Having a great advantage in time be-

earlier in the eastern states and In

Statesman is able to give a complete

up to midnight or later in European

admit that this difference of time is
the essential element in the superior

The StateSman'S great bargain offer
went into effect today, and judging
by the rush of new subscribers to the
business office several hundred
names will be added to the States
mans roll of wise and prudent men

Walla Walla is waking up and putting

manifestation of this spirit of

READS LIKE FICTION,
The Minneapolis Journal says:

The Minneapolis Journal says:
The possibility that the st. Paul Gas
company may yet accept a reversion
clause in the proposed franchise ordi-
nance and agree to sell gas at 81 a
thousand feet, beginning in 1904, in
stead of 1907, in interesting. Public
franchise corporations in this day OF
progressive courts and new ideas OF
public rights have no stomach for liti-
cation over questions of privilege.
If st. Paul is to get dollar gas next
year the price of gas is very likely to
become a I've question in Minneapolis
1t can hardly be expected that our
people will be content to 20 on for
seven years paying s1.30 for gas while
ST. Paul pays 81. 1t is now nearly ten
years since the present price was fixed
for Minneapolis, and it is doubtless
feasible, with Tue regard to the inter-
ests of h company, to sell gas con-
siderably cheaper now than then. In
fact the company has been promising
a further reduction soon, though not
publicly and officially. The consump-
tion Of gas in Minneapolis must have
almost doubled in the last ten years
A margin of profit that was sufficient
on the production of ten years ago
should be very liberal now.

PHILOSOPHY.

Some twenty or more years ago
Herbert Spencer visited America, says
the Portland O~regonian. He was
cordially welcomed by the leading
scientists of the country, and before
his departure was invited to a ban
quet in New York city given in his
honor. At the banquet Spencer was
called upon to express his opinion
concerning the United States and its
outlook for the future. Spencer mod
estly replied that he had been greatly
pleased with and instructed by the
spectacle of our republican civiliza-
ton, but ventured to warn us against
the danger of our democracy becom-
ing ultimately mere plutocracy and
going to wreck and ruin as a beneti-
cent experiment in free government.
Spencer intimated that the time he
feared would come When pluto-
cracy would sorely beset the country;
plutOcracy when it becomes oppres-
sive breeds mObocracy, and out Of this
anarchy rides ordinarily the man or
horseback.
Spencer lies dead today in his Saith
year, and a good many who laughed at
Macaulay in 1857 and at Spencer at a
later date are obliged to confess that
~plutocracy rules the and in spots at
the north, while mobocracy rules 1t in
spots both north and south. Pluto
cracy governs the state of Rhode Is
LAND through bribery at the polls, and
Delaware is not much better. Lynch
ingS prevail through the whole south,
and through the north from Colorado
to Delaware. In St. Louis, No, and
Grand Rapids. Mich, rich corporations
debauch legislatures and city coun-
ellis. The militia in more than one
state is under arms to protect authority
from riotous assaults by striking la
Dor. There is a trail of corruption in
our postal service and possibly in
other departments of the government,
like that of the lane office. Spencer
warned US non too Oon that on the
heels of the pageant of plutOcracy
would be sure to follow a class mob.
Mr.. Spencer had cad history with
the keen eyes of Macaulay, when he
warned us that if our democracy
should suffer itself to be ruled by a
plutocracy We should become a mob
ocracy, out of which would ride a
military chieftain like Napoleon, whom
all men of peace and good will would
accept rather than to live exposed
to the mad antics and fantastic creed
of anarchy. In his latest book, Facts
and Comment" he describes the pres
ent generation in England as toe
thoughtless and impatient to stand
still in order to look or think whittier
it is hurrying, as constantly ~enbarking
in most momentous experiments and
rushing down the Steepest places into
seas of folly and disaster; he sees on
all hands in unimpeded progress the
tendencies which he ~stigmatiZes under
the titles of RECOMMENDATION, r~ebarbari-
cation and Slavery He denounces
conventional political freedom as con-
sisting in the ability to choose a des-
pot or a group of oligarchs, and after
long misbehavior has produced dis
satisfaction. to choose another des-
pot or group of oligarchs, having
meanwhile been made subject to laws
many of which are repugnant.

COTTAGERS LEFT THEIR CATS

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-James F.
Welsh. city cat killer, was consider
ably shocked when he received word
from Mount Tabor, N. Y, that at least
100 cats had been left behind by cot
tagers who had spent the summer
here. Mount Tabor is a Methodist
camp meeting ground. and as he is q
Methodist, he could not understand
how the good. people could go awav
and leave their pets to starve and
die. \
With visions of wealth and unnum-
bered cats he started out. accompanieS

handled catching net and various
other paraphernalia which belong to

McCook Lake, S. D., yesterday, after
having been driven out of the cOmmu
nifty. He was hanged to a tree at 2
o'clock, Wednesday morning, and al
lowed to wiggle till nearly dead. Then
he was marched away at the point of
shOtguns, carried by his neighbors.
Hewins went home drunk Tuesday
night, and after beating his wife,
threatened to shoot her. She fled to
the home of Dick Hopkins, a neighbor.
Hewins followed and did some wild
shooting when he could not get into
the house.
A party of neighbOrs was made up,
including Dick and Sam Hopkins, Reu-
ben Slower and Perry Libby. They
went to Hewins' home, disarmed him,
and strung him up with a strap.
Then he was cut down n escorted
a mile down the road, the party shoot
ing guns at his feet all the way.
Hewins stayed away two days, but
returned yesterday with an earnest
promise to be good.

other. By a skillful manipulation, ne
finally had himself bid up to $10O,OOO,
though, because of his miscalculatlons,
he eventually got only $4,000 out of the
transaction.
Salisbury did not do business with
one, or with two, purchasers Of coun-
cilmen. He had six on his staff. The
matter of the water supply Of Grand
Rapids was the issue upon which his
genius DISTORTED. There were six
schemes by which promoters hoped
to secure the privilege, and there was
a Doodle fund behind each of the six.
Salisbury was in debt. Some Of his
associates were in the same fix. Others
were not especially embarrassed, but
were not averse to gathering easy
honey
~Salisbury's game was to hold up
each of the six in succession, pocket
the proceeds, pay off his debts and
forget" all about it-forget ever the
six applicants for legislation. AS may
readily be imagined, this course did
not appeal to all concerned. The story
Of the true state of affairs was cir
culated around, even as the story Of
the $50, 900 in safe deposit was circu-
lated in ST. Louis. Finally, three
years later, an ambitious prosecutor
took the matter up, cornered Sails
bury and forced him to turn states
evidence.
Each of these interesting tales of
municipal corruption has in 1t the
same lesson. AS long as the people
are supine, are disinterested in mat
ters political, the 'perniciously ac-
tive element will get in it's work.
When the people wake up, clean out
the city halls and put good men in
the offices, the evil is overcome and a
few of the criminals are forced to pay
the penalty. Each additional detailed
description of how, h things DONE
or how the boodlers operate, is Ill
able information to the withholding
public. Newspaper reports of this
kind deserve to be read, not alone for
their dramatic and at times even ro-
mantle attractions, out for the point
ers'' that lie in them for the taxpayers.

ASSESSOR CADMAN WAS RIGHT

Editor Statesman:
The Oregon supreme court has held
that Levi Ankeny must pay the tax
assessed at the-wotl?- value instead
of the par value
When Walter Cadman was county
assessor during 1902 he held that the
national banks of Walla Walla were
not paying enough on their bank
stock: that bank stock should be as
sessed at actual value instead of par
value. In consequence he raised the
stock of the First National from s91
per share to 1888 per share. There
We're a thousand shares which made a
difference value of $142, 900. The
bank people refused to pay any tax
on this bank stock at first. and went
before the city council and county
commissioners and fought against
payment with the aid Of their attor-
neys. The city council as a body at
first stood by the assessor but later
turned the matter of an offer of COM
promise OF the part of the bank to
the financial committee of the coun-
ell. This committee called for the
opinion of Mr.. w. H. Upton, who was
employed to assist them in the mat
ter. The city attorney. Mrs. Blandford
had previously rendered an opinion
holding that the assessment should
stand. This committee after long
consideration of the matter concluded
to accept the offer of the bank and
compromised, the bank people getting
off with a very low assessment. The
county commissioners stood firm and
refused to yield and the bank people,
through their attorney, Mr.. J.. T..
S~harpstein, filed an injunction in the
federal court before Judge Hartford,
against the county treasurer, of Wal
la Walla county collecting the tax.
Judge HanfOrd issued a restraining
order against the county until the case
could be heard. At the recent term
of court held in Walla Walla, Judge
Hanford appointed Mr.. Oscar Ingram,
the S~tenOgrapher, as referee to take
testimony in the case, the object being
it is supposed, to find out how other
banks in the state were assessed, a
point which it does not seem would
make any particular difference. since
the fact might be proven that all the
others if assessed any differently from
lHe RUE IollOWeu IN Walla Walla
might have been improperly assessed.
After reading the decision of the
supreme court of the state of Oregon
1t would seem that this might be true.
There is n fact certainly proven
by the Oregon case and that is the
city council by compromising with the
bank people lost to the rest of the city
taxpayers the difference between what
the tax would LAY been on s233, 900
and what they accepted on an amount
less than 60 per cen of that sum.
