DID PLATT WIN, AFTER ALL?

Holland, the usually well-informed
New York correspondent of the Phila-
thing new and interesting in New York
politics. Lieutenant Governor Higgins
nomination is supposed to have been
brought about by Governor Odell, al
though it has been apparent of late
that Governor Odell was not running
for governor again in the person of Mr..
Higgins, and that Mr.. Higgins is a
positive quantity and no mans man.
Hollands story is that Senator Plat
has played politics a good deal sharper
than Governor Odell and that while
it was made to appear at the time that
Senator Platts candidate, Timothy L.
Woodruff, was defeated by the gen.
eralship of the governor, as a matter of
fact Woodruff was never regarded Sc
riously as a candidate by Platt. but
was put up as a blind while he was
arranging to have Higgins brought out
as Odell's candidate. This scheme
worked beautifully and Higgins was
nominated.
If these statements are cOrrect-and
they seem to be we'll substantiated-if
Mr.. Higgins is really Senator Platt's
candidate, the numerous expressions of
sympathy for the old senator, the car
tOOns representing him in sackclOth
and ashes, neglected and alone. king
robbed of his scepter, and all the pity
of the reading public for the SORROW
full and forlorn old leader, deserted by
the politicians sycophantic following
have been expended upon the wrong
man. Hollands story is interesting;
how we'll founded, the future will tell.

age pensions to attract the working
men.
Chamberlain's most earnest speeches
have been addressed to workingmen
and yet, after a year of incessant eff
fort, the great trade union congress,
representing a million and three-quar-
tiers of workingmen, at their recent
annual meeting in Leeds, adopted
resolutions fatty opposing any effort
to abolish free trade or to return in
any way to the policy repudiated near
ly sixty years ago, when the corn laws
were repealed. The trade union con-
gress is strong body politically, and
its action would seem to indicate that
the eloquence Of the ex-colonial Sec
rotary has had small effect upon the
element he most desires to win. British
trade, indeed, has not collapsed so dis
astrously as Mr.. Chamberlain predict
ed it would. The dumping of Ameri-
can goods to compete with English
manufacturers has stimulated British
their shop and administrative methods
that they may meet American compe-
tition on more equal terms.
There is no impressive evidence that
the colonial premiers are any more
decided in their adherence to imperial
FEEDER alton than they We're at the con-
ference in London at the colonial Of
flee in 1902. At that time they con-
Guided that while preferential trade
would strengthen the empire it is not
practicable to adopt a general system
of free trade as between the mother
country and the British dominons.
The principle of preferential treat
ment of the products of the mother
country by the colonies, and of similar
treatment by the mother country of the
products of the colonies. was strongly
affirmed and commended. At present
Canada continues her preference of
33 Is per cent in favor of the mother
country, with some additional prefer
ence on lists of selected articles: Aus
tralia has not formulated her preferen-
tial treatment: New Zealand gives
preference of 10 per cent reduction on
British manufactures, and Cape Col
ony and Natal give preferential treat
ment of British goods to the extent of
% per cent, which, however, has not.
as yet had the effect of impairing the
American trade, which holds it's own
we'll.
In the second year of his fiscal re-
form campaign, Mr.. Chamberlain does
not find himself overwhelmed with en-
cOuragements. The realization of his
scheme for an imperial zollverein will
be unquestionably injurious to his own
country, under a policy inimical to re-
ciprocity of trade. That scheme is a
vision far from naturalization at pres

HE DENIES THE CHARGE,
Editor Statesman.

Editor Statesman.
An editorial item appeared in the
Statesman a few days ago charging
that one of the road supervisors while
working on bridge contracts for the
county for fixed amounts, drew 81 per
day for seven straight months. AS l
am the only supervisor who has had
bridge contracts l presume the state
ment refers to me and l wish to de-
nounce it as unqualifiedly false. Dur
ing two separate months l drew 81 a
day for five days when l was called
away from my contract work to an
other part of the district. In that
case I believe l was fully entitled to
the per diem.

1t Will be seen from the deadly
parallel here presented that while the
chairman of the republican county
central committee in his capacity as
editor of the Union did not directly
advise the republican legislative NOM
lnees If elected to vote against a rail-
way commission if Turner were elect
ed governor, he takes it for granted
tAat they will join the republican ma
1orlty in such action.

cold that if the voters of the state
elect George Turner governor a posi-
BILE republican majority in the legis-
lature will play the dog in the man
ger act by voting against an appoint
i've, regulative railway commission.
This declaration Of the chairman of
the republican county central COM
mittee through the Union has the sane
ton of the republican state committee,
which has sent out circular in which
the following appears:
There will be a republican legisla-
ture. No republican legislature will
put into Turner's hands as governor
the power granted in the naming Of a
railroad commission. Because of these
facts there is no reason why any re-
publican should vote for Turner
A declaration to the same effect was
made by Congressman Humphrey at
Tekoa last Friday night and there is
strong testimony showing that Con-
gresham Jones made a similar declar-
alton at Wenatchee and at Wilbur
although he made haste to deny it
when he saw what a blunder he had
made.
In the face of these official declara-
tons as to the republican Legislative
program in the event of Turner's cleo
ton, it is plain that the signed pledge
of three of the republican Legislative
nominees in this county in favor Of a
railway commission is meaningless
and worthless. If elected they would
be subject to the will of the party or

would join with other republican
hands of the democratic governor TO
prevent his gaining any credit for the
mission or for any other salutary leg
iSlation.
enactment of "a railway and tax COM
mission such as was demanded by the
a democratic Legislature to cooperate
with a democratic governor in carry
in no hat of 10
democratic state platform in favor of
that kind of commission. The
scornful rejection of the Mcbride COM
mission plank and of Governor Nc
Bride himself by the Tacoma state
convention was in effect an instruc-
ton to every republican member of
the legislature to vote against rail-
way commission. If a republican ma
jOrity elected on a sacred pledge to
enact a commission bill betrayed the
people at the behest of the lobby, as
was done two years ago, what can be
expected in behalf of commission by
republican Legislature elected on a
platform spurning Governor Mcbride
and his railroad policy? AS honest
old Steve Judson puts it, "A man who
believes that a republican legislature
elected on a railroad platform will
pass an effective commission bill is
too innocent for this world
The costly experience Of two years
ago should certainly teach the voters
of Walla Walla county to beware of
pledges made by republican candidates
for the legislature and to vote for
their democratic opponents this year.
The democratic legislative nominees
are William S. Reser and J. c. Adams
for the senate and Will Ritz, Charles
M. Taylor and H. H. Hungate for the
house of representatives. Vote for
them and you will surely make no
mistake.

is in line with the suggestion we have

a japanese association enters into a
profit-sharing contract without having
anything like a fair knowledge of the
terms of the contract. The result is
that when the manager strictly carries
out all the provisions the japanese are
surprised by discovery of features they
never knew of. They are suspicious
that they have not been fairly dealt
with if the discoveries are TO their dis
advantage, and even if convinced that
the provisions were in the contract all
the time, they are rightly disappoint-
ed at finding their earnings less than
they had all along been expecting.

RECENT SUGAR DECLINE
WAS ONLY MERE FURRY

Willett & Gray's Weekly Sugar Trade
Journal for June % contains the follow
ing interesting explanation of what ap-
parently were vagaries of the sugar
market for the previous week. 1t seems
that the dip occurring about that time
was due to a European influence and
not recognized by Cuban holders as a
legitimate result of the situation. By
standing out against reduction in
prices, those people restored the New
York market to the comparatively high
level it had previously attained. This
is what the Journal says:
RAws.
The week under review has been
quite peculiar in some respects; it has
shown the turn upwards from the first
downward reaction of the present cam
paign, and the entire recovery within
six days was certainly notable feature
and gives an insight into the ultimate
course of prices during the present
campaign. Europe set the pace for an
&c. per pound decline for spot and
nearby sugars; but as Cuban holders
refused to recognize such sales as legi-
innate signs of the real situation, when
those parcels We're exhausted, the mar
ket started up again with sales for
shipment at the extreme limits prev1-
ousIy reached, followed by sales of spot
and nearby sugars at the same recoV-
cry, so that the recent decline has lett
no mark of consequence on the upward
trend of prices for the current CAM
paign year. The sales made while the
reaction lasted were comparatively
small.
European prices have not, however,
made the full recovery, but have lost
their influence on our local market con-
ditions, including Cuba, and thus Tar
our refiners do not show as much IN
terest in the beet side of supplies. as
they must eventually do. 1t is also not
