their marty could make an alliance Win
the railroads whereby 1t could carry
the state, were persistent III their ell
forts ia preyent the adoption of any
commission plank by the democratic
convention. Failing in that, they Tell
back on the elective commission plank
Although it involved his own per-
sonal popularity and prestige, Judge
Turner took the floor and made an
earnest speech in favor of the appoint
i've commission. He took the high
ground that what was right was right;
that it made no difference what the re-
publican party had done; that the APP
pointive commission was the best
method of railroad regulation, and that
the democracy should not make any
issue with the republicans on that
ground. His views prevailed, and the
appointive plank, practically identical
with the republican plank, went into
the platform.
Such is the record of George Turner
on the railroad question, and it shows
why independent republicans and
democrats alike look upon him as the
logical leader in the present contest.
John L. Wilson does not like George
Turner because Turner stands in the
way of Wilson'S return to the United
States senate. At the last two cleo
lions the influence of Turner has pre-
vented Wilson from getting substantial
support from Spokane county in his
standing candidacy for the senate.
Wilson is the antithesis Of Turner.
While Wilson is also a man Of great
ability, he has asked his political am
bition on alliance with the corpora
lions. He was elected to the senate
in 1895 by the aid of the Northern Pa
cifc after he had abandoned hope and
closed his headquarters. In return for
this favor he secured the passage of
the lieu land law, which has been
worth millions of dollars to the North
ern Pacific.
1t is generally believed that Wilson
was enabled to purchase the Post-In-
through the aid of Jim Hill,
the Great Northern railway magnate
and father of that merger which Tur-
ner has so stubbornly fought. 1t is
natural, therefore, that Wilson as the
spokesman for the corporations should
do all in his power to belittle and de-
feat Turner.
On national questions it does not be-
come Wilson to talk about harlequin
performances. Less than ten years ago
he was a bowling advocate of free sill
Yer and as a member of the house and
Of the senate he voted for all free COIN
age bills that were offered.
The Statesman admires John L.
Wilson personally, but it regards his
political principles as abOminable. He
will not help himself by his envious at
tacks upon George Turner.

A CHANGE IS DESIRED

VOR AMENDMENT TO COMPUL-
sorry ATTENDANCE LAW.
Would Compel All Children to Attend
Full Term and Not Six
Months.

Radical changes in the present com
pulsory educational law are likely tC
be recommended by the state conven-
ton of county school superintendent
which is now in session at Spokane
There was a discussion Of the subject
and the cOncenSus of opinion was that
children should be compelled to attend
school in their respective districts dur
ing the whole time such school is IL
session Under the present law they
are required to attend only six months
in any school year. The law applies
to children between the ages of and
10 years.
The opinion was also expressed by
those who took part in the discussion
that the present law is too cumbersome
in that parents must first be served
with written warning befor> they
can be arrested for not sending their
children to school The superintend-
ents think the law should be changed
so that delinquent parents may be ar
rested without any warning.

WILSON Us. TURNER.

Senator John L. Wilson'S paper,
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, takes
exceptions to the communication OF eX-
Senator Turner by the Statesman, in
which it was said that Turner as the
democratic candidate would be a plat
form in himself. The Statesman had
particular reference to Turner's record
on the paramount issue in this state
that of the proper regulation and equIt-
able taxation of railroads and all 9TH
er corporations 1t was shown that
against odds in the constitutional con-
vention OF 1889 for all the provisions
in the constitution regulating corpor-
ations and prohibiting monopOlies. 1t
was the terrific fight he made for these
safeguards in the fundamental law of
the state that cost him election on the
United States senate when the first leg
islature met, owing to the bitter OPP
position of the railroad lobby. Yet
from his position on the railroad ques
ton.
After he had been elected to the
United States senate by the fusion leg
islature of 1897, and before he left for
the national capital he drafted and
caused to be introduced in the legisla-
ture a railroad commission bill, mod
eled after the Texas commission law,
and which was substantially the same
bill as that introduced by Senator Toll
man at the last two sessions of the
Legislature.
When the Northern Securities Com
pany merger was formed in 1901, Judge
Turner then in the senate, was in the
vanguard of those public men, includ-
ing Governor Van Zant of Minnesota,
who declared that it should be broken
up. He wrote a legal opinion against
the right of the railroad merger to eX-
list, which he addressed to Governor
Rogers Governor Rogers died soon
afterWard. but the advice which Judge
Turner gave him was followed by Gov
ernor Mcbride and Attorney General
Stratton in the suit which they insti-
tuted against the merger.
Judge Turner also called the atten-
ton of United States Attorney General
Knox 10 the illegality of the merger,
and was urgent in insisting that it be
prosecuted under the Sherman anti
trust law. He prepared an exhaustive
brief on the subject, which was of
great assistance to Attorney General
Knox in preparing his successful fight
on the merger, and it is said that Judge
Turner's attitude in that connection
and his assistance to the administrat tor
was largely responsible for the honor
which President Roosevelt conferred
upon him in appointing him a member
of the Alaska boundary commission.
. Judge Turner'S last fight with the
railroad lobby came two Years ago a,

was then that he rose superior to part,

RUSSIA'S ANIMOSTTY TOWARD
AMERICA.

A st. Louis dispatch that
the framework of the Russian pavil-
ion at the Worlds fair, which was we'll
under way, has been pulled down by the
contractor on orders issued from ST.
petersburg. We suppose Russia thinks
this will cause great sorrow and morti-
hcat1on to the people Of the United
States. She proably thinks this will
cause the exposition to be a complete
failure She may expect this action on
her part to be taken up by our govern
ment and be made a matter for diplo-
matte negotiations. This, very likely is
her desire. thinking it will give her an
opportunity to make representations to
our government along the line of COM
plant against people for their open
and freely expressed sympathy for the
japanese.
Russia is likely to be disappointed in
all Of these surmises. In the first place.
her absence from the exposition will
hardly be noticed; it certainly will not
cause n grief to the people Of the
United States. and if she expects it to
give her an opportunity for putting into
words her i'll feelings toward our peo-
pie, which she has shown by her act
in having the pavilion torn down she
is greatly mistaken. Our government
has nothing to do with the exposition.
1t is not a national affair. Russia has
been invited to make an exhibit. II
n does not care to do 50 it is nobody's
business but her own. At the same
time the public cannot help taking
notice OF her spiteful conduct which is
not calculated to gain more friends for
her in her contest with Japan.
The a~utocratic, despotic government
Of Russia does o seem to be able to
understand the freedom of opinion and
Of speech which is enjoyed and exer-
cised by the people OF this country.
1t seems to blame our government be-
cause the people choose to take sides
with her enemies to give full ex-
preston to such choice and She cannot
conceal her luminosity. 1t is evident
that Russia feels hat she has been
badly treated by our government be-
cause the people have not taken sides
with her n h seems ready to pick a
quarrel with it. Well, she is welcome
to all she can get out Of Uncle Sam by
such antics.

MOB LAW IN OHIO.

As The Messenger said yesterday,
the lynching of the negro in Spring
field, Ohio. was worse in some respects
than any act OF mob violence that had
ever occurred in the south. We were
then referring to circumstances under
which the Jail was broken open and
the negro shot TO death without any
effort on the part OF civil or military
authorities to protect his life. Yes
terday's press reports show that the
mob at a later hour went far beyond
anything ever done in the south. The
mob seemed determined to wreak VEN
geance upon the entire negro popula-
ton in the city. 1t was not satisfied
with taking the life Of the man who
murdered the policeman. bat must

dalism ven when given h greatest
provocation-the assault on q white
woman by a negro brute Here the
white people capture h fend and put
him out OF existence and there the
matter ends. The la~w-abiding, inno-
cent members OF this race are not mo-
Tested.
This Il by no can the first time a
mob Of white men at the north has fol-
indiscriminate attack Upon the i've
and property of the people OF his race
within their reach.
The difference in the action OF the
mobs in the two sections well illus
trates the difference in feeling toward
the negro by the people OF the south
and OF the north. In this section there
is no prejudice or hostility against his
race; it is only against the individual
negro who commits q heinous crime
that the white people ever take the
law into their own hands and inf1ict
swift punishment At the north the
anger of the mob under similar Cir
cumstances Is aroused against the
whole negro race. The commission OF
a crime by one of them simply serves as
an opportunity and an excuse for Civ
ing license to the pent up feeling Of
hatred toward the negro which will be
found in every northern community
where there is a considerable z
population. The hostile feeling
against whole race is there and 1t is
brought to light on such occasions as
this in that Ohio city.
The scene OF the asst outrage upon
the les race is not only a northern
city, but a republican stronghold. At
the state election last year in Clark
county. in which Springfield is situat-
ed, there were cast nearly twice as
many republican as democratic votes.

There can hardly be n truth in
the report that the Japanese have de-
stroyed the Russian V~ladivostock fleet
in the open sea. That fleet has hardly
ventured from under the guns Of the
fortress. If it has had the boldness
to put to sea in the hope Of capturing
some Japanese merchantmen then
there may be some truth in the rumor,
but we do not believe 1t would run the
risk Of meeting the japanese squadron
where it could not have the support OF
h forts and land batteries. If it did
put to sea it was a risky thing to do.
There is no other port it can enter 10
coal or secure other supplies. Port
Arthur is the only Russian haroor
which is not blocked with ice and
that is closed to it by something
just as formidable-the japanese fleet.
The moment the Japs found this feet
had gone to sea they would place their
warships between it and V~ladivostock.
Then the Russians would have to
fight to the death. for there would be
no place OF refuge open to them.
1t is said by persons who have
studied the situation that Russia can
not put more than two hundred thou
sand soldiers in the field In Nanchuria.
