ton he will probably recommend an
elective commission. If the next legis-
lature should pass a bill providing for
an elective commission, it would be
two years before it could be made eff
fective. The commissioners would be
elected in 1906 and they would not
take office until January, 1907. Mean
while the railroads could fix things so
that the commission would be of no
benefit to the people.
If Governor Mead really wishes to
give the people a railway commits
sion that will be practical, effective
and just" as he has declared, he
should advocate an appointive COM
mission, which could be created ana
set to work by the time the legislature
adjourns, if not before. Afterwards il
the people preferred an elective COM
mission they could make the change
without losing the benefit of what the
appointive commission might have &C.
complished in two years.

A PLEASING CONTRAST.


One extensive owner of business
property on Main and Alder streets,
remarked a few days ago that he never
had paid and would never pay any bill
more cheerfully than his assessment
for asphalt paving, and that he would
not do without it for double the cost.
This sentiment appears to be the pre-
vailing one among property owners
and business men in the paved district.
Now that the paving contract is
nearly completed there are few who
do not grow enthusiastic as they con-
trast the present creditable appearance
of the business streets with what it
was all last winter and late in the
spring when mud and water stood
knee deep from one end of town to the
other and the crosswalks were made
almost impossible by muck and slime.
Now the clatter of horses hoofs on the
hard, smooth pavement is an inspir-
is living in an up-to-date, progressive
city instead of in a miry, dirty, moss
back town, fifty years behind the
times.
The one thing still needful to place
Walla Walla fully abreast of the spirit
of modern progress is an electric street
railway system connecting the BUSH
ness center with all parts of the city
When the Northwestern Gas and Elec-
trio Company has fully completed
connection with it's new power plant
on the Walla Walla river, there will be
plenty of electricity available for
street car system, and it is safe pre-
diction that we shall have it within
the next year.

SWEENEY HAS THE PRICE

Millionaire Sweeney has started out
to buy a seat in the United States
senate and he has employed George
Stevenson as purchasing agent. Stew
enson induced most of the King
county senators and representatives
to desert Harold Preston in the last
senatorial contest, and by the same
sort of inducements he can probably
swing the King county delegation for
Sweeney as against Foster Money
is the greatest thing in the world in
the eyes Of majority of republican
legislators in this state, and as
Sweeney has plenty of it to use in the
promotion of his candidacy, he may
prove an easy winner
OF course the election of Sweeney
of Spokane would preclude the choice
of an eastern Washington candidate
next time. 1t is plain, therefore, that
the election of Sweeney would shut out
Senator Ankeny from a second term
For this reason it is hardly likely that
the Walla Walla delegation at Olym-
pia will vote for the Spokane candi-
date.

ELECTION A FARCE IN PENNsYL-
VANIA.

According to the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger there were $4,000 fraudu-
tent votes polIed in that city at the re-
cent election. The frauds, we learn
from the same authority, were most
open and shameless. Democratic Off
Gals were held up on the street
and robbed of important documents
by colored criminals, after the fash
ion of highwaymen in the west years
ago. Afterward gangs travelled from
one poll to another and voted as they
went. Respectable citizens were driven
from the polls in order that the re-
peaters could vote on their names
These iniquities were aided by the po-
punishment.
We are not as we'll provided with
details with respect to Pittsburg, but it
is safe to assert that $4,000 fraudulent
votes were polled in that city and So
900 in other cities and towns through
out the state. This makes. a total of
10000 illegal votes cast in, one form
of electoral fraud.
Will this political depravity never
cease in Pennsylvania? Will the people
always tamely submit to being thus
robbed of a most priceless heritage
Philadslphians don't mind. 1t is said
that city is rotten and contented."
The bench. and the pulpit join in
acqulescence in the iniquity there.
But will the people of the state, the
citizens of the rural districts and in-
dustrial centers, submit to it? Carry
ing elections by fraud is practically

POSTAL. FRAUDS

1t is announced from Washington
that President Roosevelt for. several
months has had under way a quiet in
vestigation of the railway mail SER
vice. For years it has been commonly
believed that the government has been
paying two or three times what it
should pay to the railroads for the
transportation of mails. The service
is paid for according to weight. and
that is ascertained only once in four
years. At weighing time it has been
the practice Of the railway company
in collision with corrupt postal offl-
Gals to load down the mails with tons
of worthless matter, such as congress
sional reports, department reports,
empty mail sacks, etc, ETC., In orIer
to swell the apparent amount Of mail
regularly carried to enormous proper
tons. Many congressman have taken
a part in this swindling game being
paid by the railroads in free trans
portation and otherwise.
Owing to the participation of con-
gressmen in this graft it has been
difficult to get an investigation of the
railway mail service by order of con-
gress. Recognizing this fact, President
Roosevelt ordered an investigation on
his own account and it is likely that
some sensational disclosures will be
made, followed by radical changes in
the service.
The government pays the railroads
for carrying the mails nearly four
million dollars year. If all that is
told of the frauds perpetrated upon
the government in weights is true, the
cost should not exceed half of that
amount. For the last fiscal year the
deficit in the postal department was
over eight million dollars It is quite
likely that a thoroughly honest ad-
ministration of the railway mail SER
vice would wipe out this deficit and
give the government small surplus.
