The Lone Fisherman.

It Is only one of the curiosities Of an
America national campaign the result
Of which is foreordained. but It
arouses more than a slight degree Of
interest Where is the Lone Fisher
man, the man who has been twice
president Of the United States? Where
is he, and what is he going to do be-
tween the present time and the 9Th OF
November?
What Is he thinking about-this
Lone Fisherman, and what are his in
clinations? We are all interested in
him as we should be interested in any
ex-president Of the United States, and
being interested, we have also a curl
osity. What about Clevelands Is that
portly and forceful old gentleman going
to have anything to do with politics
this year or is he simply intent upon
the consideration Of the subject Of
aines bait and all that sort Of thing?
The impression seems to prevail, and
enc apparently justified, that the sage
OF Princeton is not much interested in
the sage Of Esopus. The sage Of
Princeton has at least a certain cali
Der, and the two men do not fit. 5fA
Still, we all want to know what the
Lone Fisherman is going to do.

a RECORD That Recommends Roosevelt 20
#s the Voters.
The relations between capital and,
labor In the United States are the ex-.
1stent conditions which affect the well
fare OF many millions OF people. Tho
relations between any administration
and the adjustment Of these ques.
tions must necessarily be careful and
most delicate. b y ss ~
What has happened IN this relation
under the administration OF President
ROOSEVELT What happened and what
made the ultimate result In the gigan-s
tic miners strike in Pennsylvania?
Who was it who devised, In plain,
common-sense. American way, q solu-5
ton Of the problem which affected the
welfare Of hundreds Of thousands? OF
course that is all, now, relatively, an
old story. The man who did this with.
his common-sense was the present
candidate Of the Republican party for.
the presidency. He ventures upon
things, and he does them well from a
Straightforward, patriotic point Of
view.
1t is not good thing to bear in mind
that the record Of what Theodore
Roosevelt did in connection with the
Pennsylvania labor troubles is one Of
the greatest recommendation for his
election to the presidency There was
a delicate situation-it was even
question whether the president should
intervene or not. He did intervene,
with wholesome manliness, and the re-
suit was for the good Of great mass
Of the people. Could there be better
campaign document than the plain
story of what this man did in straight
ening out Of relations between capital
and labor In Pennsylvania?

An Untried Man, or Ono Who Has Made
Good Record.
The good results of the affairs Of a
nation depend almost absolutely upon
its relations with other nations. There
is, under the present condition Of
thought and affairs, an advancement in
the world--a community of nations,
The one amongthose nations which ex-
hibtts the greatest honesty and tact
and commonssense, is the nation which
will be to the fore.
Under the administrator Of the par
ty that Is now controlling tho affairs
Of the United States has OCCURRED snch
exrao rdinary diplomatic success as
has perhaps never been excelled by
any nation at any time. This success
has accrued because Of the tact aud
sense Of the present president Of the
United States, assisted by his secretary
of state. The record has been some
thing extraordinary, and all the civil
lied world has recognized 1t.
Tact and sense are inst as much a
requisite In the, conduct Of the affairs
Of nation as they are in the affairs
Of corporation or an Individual. We
reward those who exhibit tact and
sense by continuing them in place, for
our own benefit. The conclusion need
hardly be expressed Any American
citizen Of intelligence win know whom
to vote for this fall.

plain that it lies at a greater depth

AN UNsPEAKABLE ACCUMULATION

Since the middle Of November the
streets of Walla WalIa have been in
an execrable condition. the crosswalks
being covered with Shiny mud that
has made high water pants and short
skirts necessities and neat footwear an
impOssbility. Today for change we
have q little snow to hide the mud, but
in a day or two this Will melt away
and the streets and crOsSWalkS Will be
in worse condition than ever. We are
told that it is useless to clean the
streets while they are muddy, and of
course after they are dry and dusty no
one will longer complain of the mud.
The mud will perhaps dry up by the
middle of April and then we will be
complaining OF the dust. Certainly
the time to clean the streets and cross
walks is now, not next April. The city
should have a we'll organized street
cleaning department and some of the
money now squandered in other ways
might we'll be devoted to keeping the
streets and crosSwalkS in decent Condi-
ton.
All the business streets should be
paved and all other streets should have
a thick covering of crushed rock as
soon as possible. The present cOndi-
ton of the streets would be a disgrace
to a heather village and in the other
wise beautiful city of Walla Walla ii
is an unspeakable determination.
Improvements in the fire department
will do little good if the mud in the
streets is so deep that quick runs can
not be made to fires in all parts Of the
city After the new sub-station on
East Alder street is completed it is
doubtful whether the fire appara tus
could lie pulled faster than a walk
through the mire that covers the
streets leading in every direction from
that point
The present condition Of the streets
is deuiment to the town in a hum
d~ed ways. and in no way can public
funds be better invested than in paw
ing aud macadamizing. The city
councn ana the Commercial Clut
should work together for this improve
,rant and there is no reason TO doubt
that their efforts will have the ap-
proval Of the newspapers and of al
public spirited taxpayers of the city.
