Cray Mob In Rooota.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The state
department has received a dispatch
from Minister Beaupre dated the 9th
saying that there was great public ex-
element in Bogota as large crowds
paraded the streets yesterday srying,
Down with Marroquin." A mass
meeting that followed passed resolu-
tons calling for change in the gov
eminent. The meeting adjourned to
the front of the palace where the ora
tor, a distinguished Colombian gener-
AL demanded President Morroquin's
resignation. The mob was dispersed
by government troops, several rioters
being killed and many wounded. Mar
tial law has been declared in Bogota.
The American legation is now guard
ed by Colombian troops but Beaupre
says that there is apparently no per-
sonal danger for the representa- tives
of this country. Feeling is directed
against the government. He adds that
the residence of the presidents son
has just been attacked and stoned.

WAGES NOT STANDING PAT.

Mark Hanna's stand pat prosper
ity does not seem to be panning out
satisfactorily in the East. Yesterday
10000 cotton mill operatives at Fall
River, Massachusetts, were notified
that their wages would be reduced ten
per cent, which means a restoration OF
the wage scale that was in effect dur
ing the hard times from 1898 to 1897.
Many like reductions in wages have
recently been announced in the states
east of the Mississippi. On the Pacific
coast there is immunity from hard
times because of continued good crops
and good prices, owing to a strong
foreign demand. Hitherto since 1896
the same conditions had prevailed
throughout the nation. 1t was good
crops at home and high prices caused
by short crops abroad that made the
country so wonderfully prosperous.
This prosperity came in spite of the
Dingley tariff bill giving the trusts a
free hand in extorting tribute from
consumers, and not because of it.

CONGRESS ITS OWN LOBBY.

AS matter of fact the congress Of
SAYS Leslie's Weekly In nine cases
out of ten the lobbyist sits in the
senate with his state behind him, or
in the house of representatives with
his district and his senator behind
him. Also in nine cases out of ten the
senatorial representative lobbyist acts
and speaks for some great corporation
which is seeking some vast special
privilege which is antagOnistic to the
public interest and to which it has no
moral right.
The great curse of national legisla-
ton is the campaign contribution.
That has irresistibIy resulted in the
growth of the new system whereby
congress is it's own lobby. In a pres
identical or congressional election the
and the party to whom they feel they
can look for favors; then they con-
tribute enormous sums to carry the
election. Frequently a definite bar
gain is made with the national COM
mittee that something shall be done.
1t is a cold matter of business. Com
mercial acumen which has built up
vast fortunes in a generation or two,
like those Of the Standard Oil crowd"
or OF Carnegie's cOterie Of young men,
can usually pick a winner, or make
a winner, in a national campaign. 1t
did so in 1885, when it turned it's back
| on Cleveland and contributed to the
! Harrison fund for NJ S. Quay to spend.
| Again it did so in 1892. when 1t
! switched from Harrison back to Cleve-
| land and gave the millions to William
G. Whitney and Don NJ. Dickinson,
with which they swept the country.
| It could not choose in 1896 and 1900
| because William J. Bryan was running
for president on a platform which
made the corporations quake, so COM
merial acumen emptied a sum equal
| to kings ransom at the feet of Mar
Gus A. Hanna at the behest of such
men as Cornelius n. Bliss. Senator
Aldrich, Senator Allison and Senator
| Quay.

A COMMON SENSE SOLUTION.

Councilman Glasford's plan for MAX
ing use of the present excellent water
supply OF the city in connection with
the flow already developed at Thomas
springs cOmmends itself to all citizens
who have given it any consideration.
Besides preserving the present pure
supply of water which is nearly ade-
quate for all present needs of con-
sumers. Mr.. Glasford's plan would
save the city a great part of the esti-
mated expense Of laying new pipes all
over the city to resist the increased
pressure, a total of about $4,000. By
utilizing the Thomas springs supply
only for the business section and the
elevated residence district east OF
Howard street, a comparatively small
amount of new pipe would be reQuir-
ed. The plan is the most feasible
economical and expeditions yet sug-
geSted. It's adoption would not inter
water at Thomas springs according tc
the plan, of Councilmen Smith anG
Boyer and it would give the council
plentq of time to have the work of de-
velopment done in a scientific manner
The council might do much worse
than to adopt Mr.. Glasford's plan.

OPEN SHOP TALK
IN FANUfIL HALL
One Fire eating Delegate Denounces
President Roosevelt for Re-
tanning Miller.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 12.-Ernest
BOhm whose seating in the cOnven-
ton of the Federation of Labor was
yesterday opposed by the brewery
workers, was this morning seated
The case of the delegates from the In
ternational Bakers and COnfectiOners
union, was settled by being laid on
the table for q season, thus practically
refusing their recognition. A motion
was passed recommending that all af-
filiated labor bodies pay at least 25
cents a week dues. EXCITEMENT was
caused by Hoehm of ST Louis. who
offered a resolution regarding the Mil
Ter case, in which he said:
I'VE hold that the open shop is the
same as the scab shop. This applies
to open shops whether run by private
individuals or by the government
The resolution was referred to a
committee. Hoehm in a speech said
that the question had not been given
fair treatment either by the executive
committee or by President Gompers,
adding THAT the scab shop is no bet
ter when run by President Roosevelt
than by President Parry"

INJUSTICE TO UNION VETERAN

1t is proposed in some quarters that
in order to get rid of E. r. Harding,
the Grand Army veteran, as pound
master the office shall be abolished
and then after a brief interim, be Gre
ated again under a different title. 1t
is as plain as any legal proposition
can be that Mr.. T-ard;~ is entitled to
the office and can collect his salary
from the city. Certainly a man who
entered the Union army at the age OF
nineteen and served his country faith
fully on southern battlefields, and who
in later years suffered the loss of a
gallant son, who died while fighting
for his country at the battle of Santa
Ana in the Philippines, is entitled to
fair treatment at the hands Of the city
council aside from his acknowledged
worthiness as a citizen and his I'M
questioned competency to fill the office
to which he was elected. Every pat
riotic citizen and every Grand Army
man who ever took part in a battle
will resent the affront offered to Mr..
Harding in this inexcusable attempt
to deprive him of a vested right at the
behest Of a consciencless machine.

Catholic Chautauoua.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 12.-Milwau
kee and Dubuque are contesting for
the location of the Western Catholic
Chautauqua before the meeting of the
Chautauqua was formerly the Column
bian Catholic summer school, the ses-
sions of which have been held at va
rious points in Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. The president of the association
is Bishop Messmer of Green Bay and
as a majority of those interested in
the movement are likewise residents
of Wisconsin it is considered probable
that Milwaukee will be chosen as the
location of the summer school.

TIME TO PULL TOGETHER.

Both factions of the dominant party
in this city have had their turns at
control of the Commercial Club and
both have failed to arouse enthusiasm
among the rank and file of the bust
ness men. The Ankeny faction was
the first to endeavor to make the club
a factor in it's machine, just as they
made use of everything else including
churches and schools to promote their
cause Later the Boxers" by coup
d'etat captured the control of the
Commercial Club and so far there has
been no great Improvement in its
work.
Now it would be sensible for both
factions to drop all consideration OF
politics in the organization of the club
and to work together for the up
building OF the city. To that end ev-
cry business man in town should be-
come a member and then there should
be a new deal in the election OF Off
GERS, all factional and partisan con-
siderations being dropped for the sake
of promoting the growth, prosperity
and general improvement Of the city
Both sides have had their fling. 1t
has been a tit for tat game and the
honors are even. Now let everybody,
Levite, Boxer, and democrat, Join
hands for the purpose Of securing new
industries for Walla Walla, thus In
creasing the pay roll and doubling the
population within the next ten years.
Let it be a long pull and a strong pull
and a pull all together for the good
Of Walla Walla.

Simply because the Statesman in
sists that the Thomas springs plan for
solution Of the water question shall
be submitted to the people at the
same time as the First National Bank
Mill creek bankruptcy scheme, the or
gan of the bank. which is interested
in having the city either get off the
Thomas land or buy it at an eXOrbi-
tant price, says that we are trying to
'befuddle and mislead the public
The loud professions of purity of
motive made on behalf of a political
machine that stops at nothing from
the buying of a Legislature and the
fraudulent naturalization of aliens to
the ousting of a worthy Grand Army
veteran from the position of pound
master to make a little more patronage
for the faithful, Will be taken by a
discriminating public for just what
they are worth
Who is retarding the settlement of
the water question? Certainly not the
Statesman. which has been urging the
council to formulate plans for sub
mission to the people at an early date.
The only cause Of delay is the deter
mination of the First National Bank to
have it's plan submitted to the eXclu-
sion of all others and every art of di-
plomacy and coercion is being used to
secure a majority of the council for
this plan. So far only two of the
seven counCilmen are committed first
and last to the Weile scheme favored
by the bank and the question is being
held up until at least two others can
be brought into line. That is the
whole secret of the delay in submit
ting the water question to the people
for solution.
The machine organ calls for honest
and fearless expose clearly and direct
ly<made" The Statesman has given the
city administration all it wanted OF
that sort of thing and more. Every eff
fort has been made to muzzle this pa
per by threats and by the Withholding
of patronage to which it was legally
and morally entitled, but it has avail
ed the machine nothing. The States
man has continued to hew to the line
regardless Of where the chips might
fall.
1t will continue to demand that the
water question be submitted to the
people on its merits free from all
schemes of private graft.
AS to the insinuations of the First
National Bank organ regarding an al
legged offer ON the part of the States
man management to sell out TO the
Ankeny machine, the editor of this
paper invites the honest and fearless
expose clearly and directly made
that the organ pretends to favor. The
editorial department of this paper is
in complete ignorance of any such

OF the Statesman at any time and its
opinions at all times have been abso.
lutely free from unworthy influence.
One thing is certain. If the States

ring the late, long drawn out senate

opportunity to dispose of it at a eoot

Don't Forget the winter Courses.

IF you have not already received a
copy of Agricultural Education and
the circular of information in refer
ence to the short course in dairying,
and the winter course in agriculture,
you should write Prof. Chas. w. Bur
kett, Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Raleigh, N. c., at once for
these publications, which viii be
sent free.
1t is not too early to arrange for
attending either course at this time.
It is hoped that a large number will
enroll for these courses, which are
of the highest value and Importance
for young men and women interest
ed In agriculture in any way. Wo-
men are admitted under the same
conditions as men. The cost for
board, room, and registration fee is
but thirty dollars. The instruction
will be worth ten times the cost of
the course. There ought to be one
hundred young men and ONE in
attendance this winter. Will you
be one7 You ought to be, that is
sure. Take the course and learn the
proper way of making butter and
handling milk; of feeding the various
classes of live stock,soil improvement,
judging horses and cattle, veterinary
medicine, plant diseases, farm chem
istry, and other practical courses of
the utmost value to the young man
and woman in any way connected
with the farm. Remember the courses
begin January 4, 1908.

"The prisoner at the bar is charged
with numbering his victim while
asleep. IF you find from the evidence
that the prisoner knew he was asleep
when he struck him with an axe and
severed his head from his body, it
was murder. But if you find from the
evidence hal the prisoner had rea-
sonable grounds for believing his vic
tim was not asleep, or if he believed
that he might awaken when he en-
tered the room and being thus awak-
ened, it being late at night, the infer
ence would be that the sleeping man
had a pistol under his pillow, thus
giving the prisoner with the axe fur
