presume that this man would be more
subject to. political Establishment than
the man of independent means.
The moral, therefore, is not that the
rich man is unfit to hold the public
Office nor that the poor man is unfit
to hold public office. But the moral
is that men of character and determin-
alton, wothy of confidence, should be
chosen for the public service; that
public corporations should pay large
enough salaries to put officials be-
yond temptation and that public Office
should be invested with dignity, equiv
alent to honor, ather than be sur
veyed with suspicion. Good men
whether rich or poor, will not run for
public positions if their election must
cast doubt upon their integrity. Pub
lie Office has been described as pub
lie trust. The trust, however, is not
restricted to the official.
In addition to the intrigues of prac
teal politics, there are three import
ant detriments connected with the
public service. In he first place, com
pensation is not liberal. In the sec
ond place the belief that the service
will be brief, probably only one term
is not an incentive to leave private
employment to serve the public. In
the third place, the demands against
an of1cial's salary and the usual dis
trust of an official are not only disa:
greeable but the cause of serious loss
Considering the brief service, the de.
mands on an officials finances, the
generally low remuneration and 9th.
er disadvantages of public Office, there
is a potent inference that the public
will gain by ameliorating conditions
and elevating the standard of the pub
lie service. The compensation, envi-
ronments, authority, responsibility
and restrictions should be such that
a poor man or rich man could hold
public Office and that the inspiration
should be toward. honesty and faith
full work instead of toward dishonesty
and trickery.

In 1855. an uprising in Roumelia In
favor of annexation to Bulgaria was
successful. Macedonia now demands
that it be made an autonomous prov
fnce with Christian governor gen.
ed by a Christian governor general,
inhabitants of the land which pro-
dduced Alexander the Great.
From the Balkans we have heard
periodically of bloody revolt. That
is wild country, nor far along as
we estimate progress, but it nourish-
es a brave, daring, freedom-loVfng
manhood we must admire. The Turk
is the natural and historic enemy of
the popuiace and Turkish rule has
been misrule.
The Balkan territory for centuries
has been the buffer between Turkey
and Europe, between Mohammedan
ism and Christianity. Now the war
torch is again alight there. An In
surgent leader has raised armies Of
from 5000 to 10000 in three villayets.
His soldiers are well armed and cour-
ageous, and can hold out for months.
Bulgaria elected the Turk twenty-five
years ago, and though it is, for diplo-
macy's sake endeavoring to restrain
its subjects, the latter are on the
poin or rising en- masse and fockine
to the aid of Macedonia. Only the
spark is needed to set the whole dis
trict aflame.
Thus the rebels are the least open
o criticism. The Russian consul at
Monastir has been murdered, and the
lives of Austrian, French and Italian
consuls are reported in danger at the
hands of the Turks. The sultan's
soldiery has been shown to be cor
AupI, ICcAIIVuS oAu u
Bulgaria has been given to under
stand that if it runs its neck into a
moose Russia will DO nothing by way
of extrication. But such an attitude
would be difficult to maintain, since
Russia and Austria desire Turkish
confines to remain as far as possible
from thei borders. The situation con-
tains promise of complication. Ap-
parently, the occupants of these Dor
der mountains will be given the op-
portunity to beat Turkey back nearer
to Asia, and, if they fail, the gentle
restraining hand and peremptory hint
will be extended to the sultan. i
The outlook is as full of interest as
of danger. The romantic novelists
should pack their traps and haste to
the scene of operations. Many an
other theme for story of heroic de-
Tense against overwhelming odds will
be suggested by the mountain fight
ing.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS IN PROS
PECT.

The next year promises to be a rec
ord-breaker in the number of import
ant improvements to be made in Wal
Ia Walla. Indications now point to the
completion of a gravity water sys-
tenn, the construction of a fine public
library building, the paving of several
blocks in the business section, the
macadamizing of the principal streets
in the residence districts, two new
bridges, better sidewalks, new fire
stations with the possibility of the
beginning of work on an electric
street car system. With all these
Improvements in prospect this city
should have a substantial growth in
population, industries and volume OF
business during the next twelve
months.
In order to hold her rank as the me
tropolis of southeastern Washington
Whlla WalIa cannot afford to stand
still, and unless all signs fail there is
no danger of any halt in the rate Of
progress that she has been making
during the last five years.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-08-22

The fire this morning again demon
strated the urgent need of gravity
water system so that there may be
abundant force and pessure in fight
ing fires. If big conflagration
should break, out in the heart
of the business section dur
ing the prevalence of q
high wind, under present conditions,
the destruction of several valuable
blocks would be almost certain, de-
spite all the skill and energy that
might be displayed by the fire de
partment. More water for fighting
fires as we'll as for household con-
sumption is now the most pressing
need Of the city, and there is no doubt
that any reasonable proposition that
the council may submit to the people
will be ratified by an overwhelming
majority.

A JOKE WITH A MORAL.

There were several candidates for
the United States senate in one of the
western states recently. A member
of the assembly from one of the back
counties came to the political leader
OF his party and asked: who's the
best man to vote for?' WELL" replied
the leader, there's So-and-so. He's
good man." Nope" said the per-
turbed legislator, Il won't vote for
him. why not?" well, they say he
makes $4,000 a year now, and if he
gives that up for a $4,000 job I'd al
ways be suspicious about where he
got the other $4,000 to make up
The moral in this joke published in
the Saturday Evening Post, is no., as
may be supposed, that a voter should
boycott candidate who makes, if he
does not earn, $4,000 year. That a
candidate for public Office gets $50.
600 a year, or owns property worth a
million dollars, is not a final object
ion to his election and is not suficier,
| alone to put him under sus3icion. Il
a candidate had made $50,vvO in one
year, or 100000 in two years, there
is ground for believing that he has
enough money to be comparatively
Independent and that it will be to hi:
interest, as we'll as to the interest O
his family, to make a good record il
public Office.
Take, on the other hand, the candi
date who has no property, who is be
set by temptations, who earns .
small salary, and who, if successful
at the polls, would discover that IS,
600 year, which is generally a larg,
salary for public official, would b,
Insignificant for the requirements o

aAcaEp CONCERT.

An unusually large crowd was on
last evening to listen to the "opera1ie
concert rendered by the Wahs Haf
Ia Military band at court mouse
square. The program was the best
given this season and coasisted en-
tirely of selections from grand operas
That the people thoroughly enjoyed
the high class music given was oe-
monstrated by the hearty applause
given each number. Sig. Marlno re-
ceived many compliments upon the
proficiency the band has attained un'
der his leadership. Two concerts
will be given next week. The regular
Friday evening concert will consist
Of the latest popular medleys and

The sympathies of Americans must
be with the rebefs in Macedonia. The
Powers historically are espOnsible
for the existing situation. BY the
treaty between Russia and Turkey
at the end of their last war, Macedon
ia was included in the territory de
signed for Bulgaria. The European
powers at the congress at Berlin cut
away Roumelia and Macedonia, the
first being made a province govern

and the latter returned to Turkey
