PRESTON WILL BE IN 1T.

In discussing the prospective fight
between Addison G.. Foster and Sam
Piles for the seat in the United States
senate now held by the former, the
Union says:
"The interest, therefore in the entry
OF Mr.. Piles into the arena is extreme
" interesting and a pretty fight be-
tween two strong men will result
Right you are, brother. The inter
est is extremely interesting, but the
fight among republican aspirants will
not be confined to Foster and Piles,
Harold Preston will not tamely allow
Sam Piles TO walk away with the in
dorsement of King county. Last year
Preston had almost the unanimous in
dorsement of the business men of
Seattle and the hostile reception
given Judge Burke when he attempted
10 stampede a Preston mass meeting
Just prior to the end of the senatorial
contest proved that the rank and file
of the republican party in Seattle were
heart and soul with Preston. There
is little doubt that the honest voters
of the party Will not lose the oppor-
tunity that will be presented to them
next year of rebuking the traitOrous
thirteen state senators and represen-
tatives who betrayed Preston's cause
for a price and made haste TO deliver
the goods to the railroad lobby after
pledging themselves anew to Preston
on their sacred honor at the bar of ar
Olympia court room at a moment
when their fidelity would have meant
his election beyond a doubt.
Unless all political signs fail the
next republican convention of Kins
county will instruct its Legislative
nominees and the five hOldOver state
senators for Preston in a manner tina

SCHOOL BONDS FOR SALE.

Under authority given by the peo-
pie at the special election held or
Junue Goth the school board of Dis
trict No. 1 will offer for sale s63,5Ot
in negotiable coupon bonds in denom1-
nations of $500 each. It is provided
that the bonds shall not draw high
err rate of interest than 6 per cent
Under proper advertising and with
open competition. such as the law re
quires. these bonds should be f1oateG
at a rate not exceeding 4 per cent
and it might be possible to market
them at a rate Of 3& per cent. Re-
Gently the town of POmerOy f1Oated hel
water bonds at rate of 3 35 pei
cent. and certainly the bonds of this
wealthy school district should be just
as good and should draw as low a rate
of interest. The people of the district
expect the board Of education to make
the best terms possible in the sale OF
these bonds and that no favoritisn
will be shown to any individual OIL
financial institution.

The highest amount of money the
Betz administration ever had to
handle exclusive of water revenues
was about $4,000. The present adj
ministration last year handled sS8.-
1886 in city revenues alone. The
water revenues for the last year were
over $45 900. Under the BetZ admin
istration they reached about s34 900.
With nearly twice as much money to
do business with the present admins
tration should certainly be able to
make a splnedid showing in public
improvements.

POSTOFFICE CAMPAIGN.

Working leadership for the repub-
lican campaign seems to be practl-
cally settled. Senator Hanna gives
it out positively that he will not retire
from the Craftsmanship Of the republl-
can national committee. Perry Heath
appears to be an established factor in
the management. There is no intima-
ton that his resignation may be ex-
pected Mr.. Heath has not been
charged with a breach or breaches of
law, but that he very amiably cOndon-
ed Vaccinations bordering on the
scandal is evident enough, also that
he possessed a something like knoWl-
edge of actually fraudulent transac-
tons by wholesale. 1t is explained
that Mr.. Hanna would not be willing
to fOrego Perry Heath's valuable SER
vices in frying campaign fat out of the
trusts. In all probability the secre-
tary of the republican national COM
mittee will be found doing business in
the same old way next year.
Postmaster General Payne will play
an important part in the practical
workings of the day. Whether or not
he will continue in the cabinet is an
other matter Hanna insists, in what
appears to be an authoritative man
ner, that Payne;s health will not oc-
casion his resignation. Mr.. Payne
himself has not uttered a word indi-
eating that he contemplated leaving
the administration. But in any event
he may be counted upon to assist in
the engineering of Mr.. ROOSevelt'S
candidacy In or out of office he owes
political debt to the president.
Payne's political services were the
consideration of his appointment.
Charles Emory Smith, former post
master general, has identified himself
with the postoffice politicians and has
taken up their defense from the jour-
nalstic standpoint. To some extent
he is a common sufferer-innocent of
actual corruptiOn-with the RESPONSE
BILE heads of the present administra-
ton on account Of the scandal and his
defense is partly personal but large
ly political He is not practical pol
itician of Paynes type, but rather a
political journalist. Since the outset
he has directed powerful energies
phases of the scandal and diverting
public attention. In his own and in
the Administrations interest his val
liable services will probably continue
in 1904.
Payne, Heath and Smith actively
engaged in the republican leadership
cannot but give the Roosevelt cam
pagn a postoffice coloring. The fact
that these men who have been so con-
spicuously identified with the national
scandals will be prominent in the ac-
tive politics of the year to come is
interesting in a double sense. 1t will
tend to link the scandal with the pol
itics of the time; to emphasize the
scandals political significance; to
thrust it forward as an issue. Payne,
Heath and Smith will not affect the
voter precisely as a red flag affects a
bull, but whenever they appear they
will serve as the most forcible remind
ers of an era of fraud and misrule
, wholly repugnant. 1t will be difficult
| to keep these men in the foreground
| and the scandal in the background at
the same time. Yet, if they insist
upon prominence, how can the Roos-
evelt management, in view of their
intimate knowledge of the scandals of

In spite of the fact that hundreds
of new dwellings and many new bust
ness buildings have been constructed
within the last two years, the total
valuation of property, real and per
sonal, in this city is somewhat less
than last year. However, as the tax
rate is about two milsl higher than
ever before, taxpayers will not COM

of the state. and that he must be reck-
Oned with in the future. 1t is too
early to predict that Governor Moore
will head the next delegation to the
state convention from Walla Walla
county, but such thing is not improb-
able; and if he heads it, Senator An
keny will probably stay at home, for
the late row has proven that the pol
itics of the county is not big enough
to hold both of them.
Governor Moores letter attacking
the methods by which Mr.. Ankeny
was elected to the senate was the
sensation of the hour 1t has been re-
printed, either with favorable or ad-
verse comment in nearly every news
paper. It's appearance-the signifi-
canoe of an eX-gOvernOr's attack upon
United States senator-was the
first thing that turned the eyes of the
state to the Walla Walla battle, which
again demonstrates the unwisdOm of
the Ankeny leaders in provoking Gov
ernOr Moore into writing the letter
and thus drawing an unnecessary fire
in their own direction.
The Walla Walla contest has there
fore accomplished the one thing which
Governor Moore's enemies did not
want to accomplish. 1t has brought
him back in the public eye, has fea-
tured him-tO use a newspaper ex-
preston. Sometimes a mans enc
mics can make him. 1t may have been
done in the Walla Walla instance.
One more comment on the Walla
Walla result. A Frank KEGS, defeated
candidate for marshal. is the first of
the railroad bunch in the last legis-
lature to offer himself for public Of
fee. Further elaboration on the de-
feat is unnecessary, other than to say
that his vote against the commission
bill was one of the things used to
great advantage by the organ of the
opposition. Mr.. KEGS is a good fell
low and, as sheriff of Walla Walla
county, had a splendid record as a
peace officer, and in almost every way
he was well fitted for the office to
which he so recently aspred. If a
railroad henchman of the personal
popularity and agreeable personality
of Mr. KEGS is to go down, what will
happen to some of the less favored
of the bunch?

COST OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS

The cost of street improvements
has steadily increased during the last
four years and if the present pace is
kent I'D Walla Walla's streets should
soon become models for other clties.
For the fiscal year ending July l, 1900
the total outlay for street improve
ments amounted TO S7,346; for the
wear ending July l, 1901 the total was
sS441.O4; for the next fiscal year the
total was $6,969.66; and for the last
fiscal year, under the Hunt admins
tration, the total was s21.57S.7S-near-
" three times the expenditure for the
same purpose in 1900 and more than
three times the expenditure under the
Babcock administration. Every citi-
zen can Judge for himself whether
or not the improvements made in the
streets Of the city are commensurate
with the increased outlay.
1t will be seen that during the last
four years up to July 1st there was
expended on the streets and sidewalks
of this city the grand total of $44.-
352.7S. nearly half of which was ex-
pended last year. To the off-hand OBJ
server it would seem from the gen.
eral condition of the streets and side
walks of this city that Walla Walla
has hardly got the worth of her money
in street improvements.

The fact that the campaign will cen
ter. as it We're in the pOstoffice frauds
means suppression of the scandal as
far as possible. The investigations
may be expected to die while official
energies are directed toward politics
and external affairs. 1t may be well
worth the public's while to follow
closely the connection of the pOstOffice
department and it's next machine with
the political activities of next year.
