STEAL. TO LEARN A TRADE.


Two boys yesterday appealed to the
chief of police to be sent to the train
ing school at Red Wing so they could
be good and learn a trade says the
Minneapolis Journal.
If we can't lead better lives, We'll
have to steal and be sent there" they
said.
Has it come to this, that it is pos
sible for bad boy to learn a trade
and not for a good boy to do SO?
We fear it has.
On the one hand the unions jealous
ly restrict the number of apprentices.
1t actually requires pull and in
huence" nowadays for a boy to learn
a trade. The theory is that there
are just SO many jobs, and one of the
objects Of labor Organiza tons is to
restrict the demand for them.
On the other hand. what is there in
the way of a technical school in Min
neapolis where an ambitious boy may
learn trade? Nothing, whatever,
worthy of the name short of the uni
versity. There is little manual
training in the schools, but it is al
ways on the defensive.
In this city of a quarter of million
people there is not single technical
school, public or private, no place
where a boy may be instructed in
u trade.
But let a boy commit theft and
appear properly unrepentant and he
will be sent to Red Wing, where he
can learn a trade.
Valuable training for the bad, none
for the good.
What is to be done about it?
Let some Of our wealthy men answer
and let the answer be a technical
school worthy of the city.
Some day private donat tons to the
common schools will be regarded Just
as wise and just as beneficent as build
ing colleges and libraries and erecting
statues.

ATKINSON A CANDIDATE.

State Auditor Atkinson has announc-
ed his candidacy for governor He
refuses to define his position on the
railroad question, saying that it will be
time enough to cross the bridge when
he comes to it. This amounts to an
of the railroad lobby. He who is not
with the people is against them in their
fight for proper regulation and just
taxation of the railroads and other cor
porations. No spineless, colorless can
didates are wanted this year. In an
nouncing his candidacy in the Seattle
Republican, the organ of the negro re-
publican voters in this state, Mr. At
kinson says that he will have the dele
cations of Ferry, Douglas, Chelan and
Okanogan counties as trading stock in
the state convention. He should not be
too sure of his chickens before they
hatch. The people Of those counties
are strongly in favor of railway COM
mission and they will hardly sacrifice
a principle in order to gain the uues-
tionable honor of having a fgurehead
from their part of the state in the gov
ernor's chair to serve the railroad lob
by. The Chelan Leader expresses the
prevailing sentiment in that part of
the state when it says:
The Wenatchee papers are booming
John D. Atkinson, now state auditor.
for republican candidate for governor.
While The Leader has nothing but
ly. and would enjoy seeing the gov
ernor hail from Chelan county, it is
our candid opinion that if the republi-
cans turn down Governor Mcbride the
next governor will be a democrat"
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-01-18

is wailing and gnashing of teeth in the
Mcbride eXciteS as much terror IN the
minds of the cohorts of George Steven
son as the name of Robert Bruce, the
Highland chief, once caused the peo-
ole of Northern England. 1t is said
that in many a Levite household moth
ers brighten their children into staying
in the house nights and into willing
obedience generally by telling them
that Mcbride will get them if they
are not good 1t beats the curfew bell
and the police. The Levites will never
forget the awful defeat that Mcbride
gave them at the republican state con-
vention last year and it is no wonder
that their knees shake and their teeth
chatter when they hear Of his ap-
proach.
The organ OF the Levites gave ex-
preston to this pitiful trepidation Sun
day morning by a long, lugubrious wall
filling most of it's editorial page. 1t
says all sorts of hard things about Nc
Bride, the most serious being that he
is not true to the Ankeny- Stevenson
railroad lobby and has had the audaclty
70 vote against unworthy republican
candidates for Office several times in
his life. 1t is like the woman who de-
clared her husband was not true to her
because he was not the father OF her
last child.
OF course it says nothing
about the way the Levites in this state
knitted Charley Sullivan in 1896 and j.
NJ. F'rink in 1900, thus twice electing
Rogers governor. This gratuitous at
Jack upon Governor Mcbride is no
doubt part of the attempt being made
10 induce the Boxers to join the
John Adam Schmidt camp of Holy
Rollers" at the harmony conference to
De held tomorrow night.

The democrats OF this state might
do much worse than to, nominate Sen
ator William ReSer Of this county for
governor. AS state senator he has
proven loyal to the interests Of his con-
stituentS and has won an enviable
as a conscientious, conser-
vative, broadminded legislator. At the
last session of the Legislature no man
worked harder for the railway commits
sion bill for which both parties had de-
clared in state convention than Sena-
tor Reser, and it was due largely to
his influence that the democrats in
both houses were kept almost sOlidiy
in line for the Tolman bill. The
Statesman does not know that Senator
Reser would accept the nomination for
governor, but all who know him will
agree that no better selection could be
made.

Last year the people of this county
sacrificed the opportunity to secure
lower freight rates in order to gain the
doubtful honor of having a home man
serve the railroad lobby as United
States senator. This year there is no
senator to elect and there is no good
reason why the people should not line
up solidly for a railway commission.
The. honor of having United States
senator has cost them many thousands
of dollars in extra freight rates and if
they do not wish to continue paving
this price for years to come they
should see that no man goes to the leg
irlature this year who is not known
TO- be as solid as a rock for the Just
regulation and equitable taxation of
the railroads. Last year a republican
legislature repudiated the sacred

GETTING INFORMATION
Street Paving Committee Writes to
Other Cities.

The citizens street paving commit
tee will probably hold a meeting some
time this week to take up the subject
of the Improvement of the business
streets. Several of the committee have
informally discussed the matter but
the entire committee has not yet been
together. In the meantime members
of the committee have written letters
to the chambers Of commerce of the
figures and data concerning the differ
ent kinds of pavement they have used.
Replies are expected shortly and then
the committee will get together and
consult with the citizens and council
committee and some definite plan be
adopted. ..- ........ ..- .... ....

The Statesman has always advocat-
ed the policy of placing proper restric-
tons upon public service corporations
much cheaper and more effective than
the policy of locking the barn after the
horse is stolen. To regulate rates after
a franchise is granted usually requires
supreme court, While proper reserva-
tons by city councils in granting fran
chises protect the people from the start.

The folly of importing men to take
charge of municipal work that could
be easily managed by home workmen is
again illustra ted in the case of Worley,
whose development job at Thomas
springs cost the city nearly $4,000
that might just as we'll have been
thrown into the sewer There is little
reason to doubt that under the intelli-
gent direction OF honest WOrkmen at
home abundance of subterranean wa
ter could have been developed on the
Thomas ranch. The Smith Boyer plan
of tunnelling and prosecuting for
water now appears to be the most
feasible and expeditions plan of get

Congressman Wesley Jones, getting
the tip from the Grosscup- Crocker-
Stevenson bunch that the machine
favors only one republican convention
in this state. made haste to write a
long letter endorsing this proposition
He suggests that the convention be
held about June 9th. That would hard
ly do, as the call for the republican ma
tional convention requires delegates to
be elected so days before June 21st
the date fixed for the Chicago conven-
ton. If the republican county and
state tickets are placed in the field as
early as May the candidates will have
long, weary and expensive race of it
before they are distanced by their
democratic competitors next Novem-
Der. However, Jones plan is agree
able to the democrats and it is to be
hoped that it will be adopted.

While the development work at
Thomas springs was in progress in
the fall and winter of 1902 the States
man opposed the slipshod and eXtrav-
agant manner in which it was being
done and more than once expressed the
opinion that most Of the flow of water
in the city's pipes at the springs came
from irrigating bitches running from
Mill creek. Councilman Smith fought
the work from start to finish, insisting
all the time that only surface water
was being 'developed.' 1t now turns
out that Councilman Smith and the

that thousands of dollars might have
been saved the city if the warning then
given the council had been needed

for an appointive railway commission.
To guard against a second betrayal of
the peoples cause the only safe plan is
TO eject none but democrats to the leg
iSlature this year.

WHITMAN DEBlTERS|
THE INTER- SOCIETY TRrOUi
WILL TAKE PLACE ON FEB
RUARY "a AT COLLEGE.
inter- Collegiate Contest Will BE HELD
in Wa!Ia WaIIa in March With
Pullman Agricultural Team.

The annual inter-society debating
tryout between the Athenaeum and the
Phrenakosmian societies will take place
on February oath. The date was set
tied this morning by committee con-
sisting of Bert Palmer from the
Phrenos and Ned Baldwin from the
IAthenaeum. The question discussed
will be the same as that which Whit
man college will submit to the Un1ver-
sity of Idaho this week. The inter-so-
ciety debate besides deciding the cham
pionsnip between the societies for the
year will serve as tryout for selecting
the Idaho team which will debate
against the university at Walla Walla
on April Sth.
The next inter collegiate debate here
will be with Pullman late in March.
The same team has been chosen to go
against Pullman that met Oregon last
Friday, but Baldwin will probably re-
sign and Louis Sutherland ~alternate
on the team will in that case take his
place. The same question, that of the
incorporation Of labor unions, will be
discussed, which was debated with
Oregon last week.
Debaters Return.
Whtman's debating team, Brown
Greenslade and Baldwin returned from
Eugene on yesterday mornings train.
They report a most enjoyable trip.
While at Eugene every minute of their
stay was made pleasant by that cordial
courtesy for which the students and
faculty Of the University of Oregon
are noted. They declare that no ad-
jective is too strong to apply to Oregon
college hospitality. After the debate
Friday night they were entertained at
a fine banquet in the college DORM
High School Whitman Debate.
The first debate ever enga ged in be-
tween Whitman academy and the Wal
la Walla high school will take place In
Whitman chapel on Friday evening.
Both teams have been working hard
for several weeks and both are conf
dent of victory. The question to be
discussed is of burning interest, Uncle
Sans position in Panama. The high
school will defend the attitude of the
United States towards Panama and Co
lombia while Whitman academy will
take the opposite side. The high school
and Whitman will probably attend in
a body.
DELEGATES Leave
Most of the delegates to the Bible
conference who have been guests at
Whitman the past few days left this
morning. A noteworthy feature of the
last session of the conference last night
was the mastery sermon by President
Penrose on The Message of the Cos
pels.'' The session was held in the
Congregational church.
Darwin Lect.re.
The Hon. Wallace Willis of Portland
will lecture Thursday evening in Whit
man chapel on Charles Darwin Mr
Willis is a graduate of Cambridge and
was an intimate friend of the great
Darwin. He will deliver this same lee
ture at Pullman and Moscow The
matter here is under the charge Of
Professor ERODE Of Whitman college,
chairman Of the library committee

In 1887 the city council practically

That costly lesson should have been
enough to teach all succeeding city
councils the value of public service
franchises to the people. but it seems
that the lesson has not been learned
or if it has, private graft has been al
lowed to outweigh the public interest
in number of instances. AS one re-
suit of the granting of one of these I'M
restricted franchises the city how has
Il fight on its hands in order to get the
privilege of laying a new water pipe
on Main street. The Statesman has
consistently opposed the reckless Civ
ing away of franchises and the wisdom
of it's opposition is becoming more ap-
parent every day
