Gracefully Turned.

Disraeli's resourceful wit enabled
him to play the courtier at all times
and to give-as in an instance which
the London Daily Chronicle recalls-a
complimentary turn even to satire.
Soon after he had received his title
and had become the Earl Of BeancOnS
field an old peer greeted the new peer
one day and asked him how he felt,
Beaconsfcld was just walking away
from the house of lords, but his
thought seems to have been in the
house Of commons, for he said:
81 feel as if were dead and buried"
The old peer looked aghast.
and" Baaconsfeld continued, with
scarcely a pause, land in the land OF
the blessed"
The old peer smiled again and loved
Beaconsfeld forever after.

oneer About the Eyes.

Prince Troubetskoy, the artist, once
painted IN Paris the portrait Of an
American who was cross eyed. The
painter thought a great deal about the
matter and finally made his picture
cross eyed, too, so that it should be a
faithful likeness.
When it was done, the original
looked at it and said:
1T seems to met seems-why,
hang it, this picture is cross eyed, isn't
it,?

said Prince Troubetskoy.

Trained Chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums in Japan are train
ed into numerous quaint shapes, like
the old English yew trees, in the forms
Of peacocks. etc. In Tokyo there are
gardens filed with life sized figures
made entirely of the flowers and leaves,
the faces being masks, and these chrys-
anthemum figures accurately represent
court ladies, warriors, children and an.
imals, one of the favorite characters
being a young lady with fox's tail
peeping from under her dress and 4
mask which by the touch Of string
turns into reynard's head.

late, for after the war the pigeons in
question were sold by auction and

ROOSEVELT IND0RsEs MCBRIDE.

At banquet given in honor Of
President Roosevelt at Tacoma, at
which Senators Ankeny and Foster
and Cougressmen Humphrey and
Cushman were present, the president
unhesitatingIy declared that Governor
Mcbride was deserving OF renomina-
ton and reelection. He especially
commended the governor for the stand
he took in opposing the Northern Sc
curities MERGE. 1t is sad that this
Endorsement. the only one OF the kind
that the president has given to any
governor was made against the earn
est protests Of the two senators, OF
ex-senator Wilson and of other bitter
opponents Of Governor Mcbride.
Senator Ankeny is said to have
made the open statement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not dare to
come to this state and make an en-
dorsemeut Of Lewis personal and po-
liticaI enemy. Governor Mcbride. But
Roosevelt took the dare. AS soon as
he entered the state he took Governor

ROOSEVELT AND THE PHILIP
PINES

President Roosevelt has made a
great many speeches on the Philip
pine question in which he has declar-
ed that the natives are not capable of
self-gOvernment and that they would
not be for several generations in the
future. Yet the president knows lit
tie about the Filipinos except what
he has read or has been told. In
this city last Monday he shook hands
with the first Filipino that he ever
saw. This Filipino is a bright young
man. much more intelligent and cap
able than thousands of men who ex-
ercise the right of suffrage in the
United States. All other natives who
have been seen in Walla Walla were
remarkably intelligent. Admiral
Dewey after studying the natives at
Manila declared that they were more

| They are like little stunted shrub:
! that spring up in soil that is barely
! sufficient 20 nOurish the seed, but toe
hard to supply the tree.
If they survive it is without spirit
| and as eyeSOres.
Their roots suck no emotional mois
ture. The sunshine of life only
guards and parches them.
Such children-God pity them
| denied the love that vitalizes the
mother milk, are worse-ten thousand
times worse-than orphaned.
| Their childhood is an snheeded wall
OF unsatisfed longing: the we'll
| springs of natural feeling are damme j
UP in their little hearts, to stagnate
and to poison their lives.
Such children-well, it is better for
all concerned that the mothers should
raise pups instead.
There is good in a pup, but there
is no possibility of good in child of
a woman whose heart affections are
only pup size
But, even a. that, it is a pity for
the pup.
There is no w0rthier animal than a
! dog. He is capable. when given a
chance, of responding to the intel
lect and affections Of the highest ma
lures. But, after all, he has his level,
and while We love him because he
can at times raise himself to mans.
even the dog himself must despise the
woman who can lower herself to his.
II certain social circles it is CON
sidered mot Fashionable" for
mothers to show much interest in
their children. The iittle ones are
left to the nurses. While the dogs are
taken out in the carriages. For the
benefit of such mothers it is worth
while TO repeat a recent remark made
by the duchess OF Fife. the eldest
daughter Of the king Of England. The
duchess was discussing with friend
the case Of little child of wealthy
parents, accidentally found to be
covered with bruises inflicted by a
cruel care-taker. The duchess said:
mo nurse would be able to bruisa
my chiIdrens bodies, for not many
days go by that l 10 not wash them
myself"
"Why," inquired her friend, do
YOU really stay in the nursery to
watch their toilet, ma am?'
4 did not say that I watched them
being Washed" said the duchess. u
said that l washed them myself"
This is Endorsement for caring for
ones own children from a source
that even the ultra fashionable stand
in awe of.
1t is to be hoped that this vir,ue
Of royalty may be emulated as Obse-
quiOusly as its vices are initiated.

CAVALRY HORSES SCARCE
Those Suitable Are Held at Too Hiq+
Figure for the Government.

First Lieutenant w. Calvert of the
Ninth Cavalry at Walla Walla was
in the city yesterday in search of
government horses for the cavalry
service. The PendIeton market had
no horses at government rates. Lieu
tenant Calvert went on to Echo this
morning. where q band is held under
contract for the government at $117
per head.
Il is almost impossible to get
horses for the cavalry service at the
present time, as the market is very
scant; besides. those holding horses
ask for them a price in advance of
their worth to the government.-East

TARIFF-TRUST QUESTION.

| Mr.. Roosevelt has virtually assumed
| a let the-tariff- alone position
There can be little doubt that his
method OF putting the case he has
made up by his speeches in the west
will prove strong one for popular
purposes, and especially for those
who like what they are pleased to re-
gard a. conservatism. Few, for Illus
tration. will take issue with the presi-
dents declaration that results prob
ably disastrous. possibly fatal to our
well being would follow sweeping and
violent changes in the tariff. and will
agree with him that we cannot afford
by any freak of folly to forfeit the po-
sitiOn we have triumphantly attained
in national prosperity. When it
comes to assuming that the question
Of tariff revision stands wholly apart
from the question of dealing with the
trusts" however, no breadth the pres
ident may seek to impart TO that
proposition will cover the fact that
it is only through the inordinate
profits insured to many Of the trusts
by rate Of taxation that puts the
government in practical partnership
with them against the consumer, that
they have swollen TO their present
4 10
evil 10 the common welfare Argu-
ment is no longer needed TO convince
intelligent people that a system
which openly robs by compelling
them to pay millions more than neces-
sary for certain products simply be-
cause those who are permitted to do
the charging need the money" is
not the less robbery because it is le-
galized. Mr. Roosevelt begs the ques-
ton in some measure by his plea that
it may be better to endure some in
cOnveniences and inequalities for a
time than. by making changes, to
risk causing disturbances and per-
haps paralysis in the industries and
business Of the country
The president appears to speak
with a firm belief in the wisdom Of
the views he has been expressing upon
this subject-yieWs largely based, no
doubt. upon his conviction that the
new antitrust Legislation will correct
most of ,he evils that admittedly exist
in trust practices and results; but
there is reason to believe that he
would nave been stronger before the
country if. in thus cCnceding the ey-
istence of the evil, he had frankly
aimed at some correction Of the
chief cause-namely, the conspicuous
inequalities by which the tariff sys-
TEN has been placed in unfair alliance
with certain private corporations.
The president should not take it
for granted that even his friends will
applaud his idea that there is some
thing too sacred about the Dingley
law TO permit Of its revision even
with a view to getting at least some
sort OF mitigation or modification Of
the trust problem.

PUPS PREFERRED TO CHILDREN

Someone with a turn for curious
statistics kept count upon the fashion
pageantry Of Fifth avenue, New York,
as it glittered BY, last Sunday after
noon, and in an hour he recorded Il
dogs on the laps OF finely dressed
women and in the same time 10 chill
dren, says the Spokane Press.
Well, what OF il?
This is a free country, and if a
woman prefers to be a mother to a
dog rather than to a child, what is
there to prevent it?
The cold. hard, brutal truth of the
matter is that a whole lot of women
are better fitted to bring up dogs than
they are to bring up children.
When these, by natural inclination
and selection, have found the meas
ure Of their affections, and that meas
ure is dog size, why-let them indulge
it.
1t would be impossible to conceive
of anything more pitiable than the
fate OF child born to woman whose
heart yearns for pup instead That
poor child must shrivel up, body and
soul, Of heart hunger.
1t is no imaginary case. Unfortu-
nately there are many such children
n the world.
1t is unfortunate for the children
and unfortunate for the world.
