BIG YIELD OF ALFALFA.

All Previous Records in This Line.

w. II. Steele of Zilrlah. who was in
the city last week. tells of yield OF
alfalfa in his neighborhood this spring

the quality and quantity of its hay. Mr..

measurement. off of = "a acres of land.
The yield was from the first cuttin"
and the crop had not been irrigated this
year. The hay is on the place. Mr.. Steele
says, and if anyone doubt, the story
they can visit the field and measure it

If any other farmer in this valley can
surpass or equal this yield The Herald

AFTER JONES SCALP"

On another page is printed story
from the Spokcsman-Rcview to the ef-
feet that leading republicans of Spo-
kane are after the scalp of Congressman
Jones. because of his attitude of sym-
pathy with the railroad crowd" They
are not going to oppose him in this cam
paign. according to the Review, but will
defeat him for denomination two years
hence. The Herald does not believe
there is any considerable opposition
among Spokane republicans to Mr.
Jones. but it is an open secret that he
would not have been rcnominatcd this
wear if his success in the convention had
depended on the Review. That alleged
republican paper. for weeks before the
convention. advocated a Spokane man
to succeed Mr.. Jones. but the Re-
views influence was nil and the
entire delegation was favorable to

vorable to his denomination two wears

the sentiment of the republicans of Spo-
kane. 1t is not republican paper. and
never has been. and. as evidenced by
the fact that it could do nothing against
Mr.. Jones this year. il will be able to do
less after boiling the republican ticket

As for Mr.. Jones attitude of SYM

CURRENT COMMENT.

II is not customary for newspapers
to comment on cases on trial before the
courts. hut there are exceptions that
Justify it. Next week in the superior
court III this city. j. J. Williams. who
eloped in the spring with Lottie Davis,
IL years old, is to be tried for rape. At
the time of his arrest. it will be remem-
bercd. he mblushingly acknowledged to
the sheriff that his 'lovc" for the girl
was inspired by his sexual desires and
did not deny that for several nights they
stopped at hotels as man and wife. The
girls story was that the brute threaten
ed to kill her if she denied that she was
mis- wife. and there can be no doubt
about Williams being guilty of one Of
the most horrible crimes that can lie
committed. He is old enough for the
girls grandfather, has family of crew.
children and can offer no excuse what
ever for his awful sin. Yet he has EN-.
ployed an able lawyer to defend him
and an attempt will be made. AZ the
expense of the county. to prevent Viii
liams from being punished for the worst
crime that can he committed against
society. What the line of the defense
will be it is hard to say and to lay.
man it is difficult to conceive what can
be offered when the man has confessed
and the facts are as plain as the noon
day sun. Lawyers. however, are ingen-
ious and some plausible plea. doubtless,
will be made. The law says that every
man is presumed to be innocent until
proven guilty. but Williams act estab-
fishes mis- guilt in the eyes of the pub.

time of his arrest. That he is to have
a trial at all is due to the forbearance
and selfcontrol of an outraged commune

fable in the eyes of this newspaper. If
there could be an excuse for it. the Viii
Hams case would seem to furnish the
justification. However, a good Jury Ia
been drawn for the coming term of court
and the case can be left with safety IN
its hands The maximum penalty for
the crime is life imprisonment 1t is
death in some states and if this news
paper had the power to so amend the
Washington statutes as to apply to the
case of Williams. there would be little
danger. it believes. of the state being
put to the expense of clothing and fed
ing this miserable wretch during the rest
of his worthless life.
Two other rape cases are on the cal
endar for trial at this term. The case
against s. ]. Graham of the Cowiche is
said to be almost as aggravated and
henious as that of Williams. but the
facts are not so we'll known to the pub
lie. His victim. it is alleged. is also a
young girl and if his guilt is established
no more mercy should be shown him
than will be given Williams. These de-
stroyers of young girls are not fit to
live outside of prison walls and it is a
mistaken sense of Justice that permits
them TO live at all.

ably to see the races at The Meadows,
which began last Saturday. He is a
great lover of horse race, spending
most of the summer in Seattle last year
as one of the judges, but this summer,
perhaps, he will be more interested in
the race for the state senatorship, and
is likely to spend more of his time at
home. Some of the republican candi-
dates for county offices are getting quite
active in the way of circulating among
their friends, and extending the gla'l
hand, but nothing is heard of any demo-
cratic candidates. So far there appears
to be none.
