A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

The suggestion of Captain P. B.
Johnson that the legislature be asked
to pass law empowering city councils
to regulate the charges for gas. cleo
tricity, etc, when supplied by a pri-
vate or quasi public corporation is a
good one and should be acted upon.
Some member of the legislature from
this county should be prevailed upon
to introduce a bill to that effect and
to see that it becomes a law. This
would probably be the easiest way of
securing reasonable rates for gas AMI
electric lights from the Northwestern
Gas & Electric Company. The twenty
five year franchise granted to the
company by the city council a little
over a year ago was entirely too lib
eral in it's provisions, giving no pro-
lection to consumers, and an act of
the legislature will probably be re-
quired to adjust matters on an equit-
able basis.

A PERNICIOUS HABIT.

An anti-cigarette league has been
formed in Portland, whose object Is to
prevent the forming of the cigarette
habit among boys and young men who
are not smokers, and to encourage the
abandonment of the practice among
those who are so unfortunate as to be
already. among it's victims.
An organization of the same kind is
needed in Walla Walla. Nothing can
be said in favor of cigarette smoking.
That it is Injurious in every respect
is admitted by everybody. There is
no man who would not prefer to see
his son free from the pernicious habit,
yet when any organized effort is made
to check the. evil tendency the cry is
raised in some quarters that boys
will be boys" and, that no interference
with personal liberty will be toler-
ated.
press and of every other agency that
can reach the public ear to call atten-
ton frequently and persistently to this
repulsive and mischievous habit that
is doing incalculable. harm to other
wise promising and useful boys and
young men.
It is safe to say that no young man
answering an advertisement for en-
ployment in a responsible position, if
presenting himself with cigarette be-
tween his teeth and emitting smoke
from his nose and mouth, would stand
any chance whatever of being accept
ed Cigarette smoking destroys the
ambition, impairs the nerves, causes
restlessness and rapidly undermines
the manly qualities that should be
stimulated rather than destroyed.

MANUAL TRAINING ESSENTIAL

1t would be we'll If the school board
would begin at once to plan for max
ing manual training a part of the pub
lie school course after this school year.
Portland Spokane and Seattle have
already introduced manual training in
their public schools, and in all pro-
gressive towns it is recognized as an
essentiol part of a well-rounded public
school education.
To train a thousand or more boys
and girls in the lower grades to use
their hands to some purpose would be
a far better use of public school funds
than to make pedants of a dozen boys
and girls in the high school by teach
ing them a smattering of the dead
languages that they will never use,
Grafton of unfortunates
If manual training can be had in no
other way it would be better to lop
off some of the ornamental and COM
paratively useless branches at the top
rather than deprive the large majority
of the public school children who never
reach the high school of training need
ed to equip them for the life contest in
which survival of the fittest' is the
memorable law.
If there is plenty of money available
for teaching both manual training to
all in the eight lower grades and Greek
and Latin to a few in the high school,
all well and good, but if either must
be cut out on the plea of economy it
should be the dead languages taught
to a few rather than manual training
for the benefit Of all public school
children. The greatest good for the
greatest number is a good rule in
making courses of study for public
schools as we'll as in popular govern
ment.

OREGON FACES DISGRACE.

1t is probable that Senator Mitchell
and Representatives Hermann and
Williamson will be indicted for COM
plicity in the Oregon land frauds by
which the government was cheated out
of thousands of acres of valuable tim
Der and agricultural lands. If all
three congressman should be convicted
the state of Oregon would be placed
in sorry light before the nation. Her
of Kansas, one of whose senator's Bur
ton, is now under sentence for accept
ing a fee from 'get-rich- quick" con-
Germ for aiding it to get the use of
the mails.
The many friends and admirers of
Senator Mitchell in Walla Walla are
10th to believe that he has knowingly
aided in defrauding the government,
and they hope that the evidence will
fully vindicate him. AS to Hermann
he may be innocent but it is certain
that while he was commissioner of the
general land office the Weyerhauser
syndicate ana other predatory corpor-
ations and gangs stole millions of
acres of valuable timber, grazing and
agricultural lands from the govern
ment through fraudulent entries. Sec

Hank! through the still, chilly winters
night,
Gray wolves howl loud on the noun
tain white.
Echo from rock to rock, echoing back
again,
Lonesome, those plaintive cries bring
i. to the hearts of men
Thoughts of the desert wide,
Where silent spectres ride,
Where the dead spirits roam,
Warriors who've left the tomb:
Softly, their foot -steps sound,
On the Great Hunting Ground.
Deep are the snowy drifts.
Cold DER the ground it shifts.
Rushing with frightful shrek
Ger the swift mountain creek,
Breathing it's icy breath
Carry famine, death!
Thus are the wintry blasts;
Dark are the shadows cast,
Dark on the deep'ning snow;
Was e'er such treacherous foe?
Leap from their lonely haunt,
Lynxes and catamount;
Silent but swift they glide,
All! from the hidden lair,
Breaking the stiffness there,
Rises the panther's cry,
booming the lost to die!
o, the cold forest bare!
Pity the dumb brutes there!
Hank! did a hoof-beat strike?
Here in this chilly night?
Was that a twig that broke?
Could that be man that spoke?
Was e'er wand'rer cast
Hither a night to pass?
Yes. IT'S human form.
White is his face, and worn;
Hunger his lot, and cold
Agonies, yet untold!
Far, from land scarce known,
Where rolls the Oregon"
Where sounding breakers roar,
Beating Pacific's shore;
Hence, has the stranger come;
Deep drifts and western storm,
Rode through, and on and on,
Swiftly toward Washington.
Swift with a message, great;
Swift, lest it be too late!
Past the Great Barriers. high;

Der the wide plains, he sped,
Onward by Freedom led.

Long may thy deeds be sung
On every freeman's tongue;
Live, Whitman, on and on,

ARBITRATION IS ONLY REASON
AT WORK.

Lecturing before the League for Po
litical Education in New York, Andrew
D. White, ex-president of Cornell uni
versity, made a most interesting re-
mark as to craftsmanship that might
possibly have averted the civil war
He said:
There was but one man who, prior
to 1861, thought out great and
statesmanlike measure to settle the
differences between the north and the
south. That was Henry Clay. He
proposed to dispose of the slavery
question gradually and naturally. His
plan of freedom through the purchase
of the negro infant was profound and
statesmanlike. 1t would have cost the
nation but $25,O00,O0O. Revolutionists
both north and south opposed this
method of evolution They counted
the cost as impossible. 1t was never
dreamed then that a single American
city would spend $200.o0o,000 for the
building of subways and tunnels to
facilitate it's business. Revolution
came, and cost the nation billions of
dollars and a million lives

toned people were not governed by
reason but by passion. To the south
a measure like this would have seemed
practical admission that their whole
system was wrong. OF course, they
would not consider it.. If you look at
expensive way of settling things than
passion. And how much less sorrow,
suffering and heartache it entails

probe the land frauds to the bottom
and to "let no guilty man escape" He
has undertaken a herculean task, and
the Statesman hopes that he will not
meet the fate Of Bristow after his
prosecution of the Whiskey Ring.
The most common method used by
syndicates in getting possession OF
government lands has been to send out
men to make entries, paying their ex-
penses and buying them out after title
was secured. Often a contest has been
brought by collision with the under
standing that it is to go by default,
the object being to preclude a bona
fi,1e contest. But in Oregon it seems
that forgery and perjury have been
tesorted to in securing title to public
lands in the name of fictitious persons
tn he transferred to the conspirators.
The stealing Of government lands IS
a serious crime against the American
people and it should be severely pun
ished. The law should be no respecter
of persons.
