A writer in The New York indie
pendent tells of young man who went
to Mr.. Hearst and declined a proffered
position on one Of the yellow newspa-
pers, admitting that he did so on the
advice of his favorite professor. who
had strongly denounced the Hearst
newspapers and had assured the young
respect" would be worth more to him
than all the salaries an unprincipled
employer could pour into his purse.
With cynical smile, Mr.. Hearst di-
rected his secretary to write letter
to the professor asking him to write an
article of 500 words on a subject of his
own choosing for the next Sunday pa
per and enclosing a check for $3.50 in
payment. Now" he said, you can
see for yourself what comes of that"
The young man saw the result in the
next Sunday paper. for the good pro-
self-respect" out for hire at the rate of
so cents a word.
This story may or may not be true,
but If it is, it exhibits a somewhat
common trait of humanity. We may
admit that this Professor wrote a good
and thoroughly commendable article,
and one which accomplished good for
those who read it. but the point is that
he allowed himself bought. for that is
what 1t amounts to. For what he
must have known was an extravagant
price he laid aside the self-respect
about which he spoke to his young
friend and became a contributor to the
paper he had denounced. Human ma
ture is sometimes lamentably weak.

for him to persuade himself that there

OF course this whole argument in
explanation of public graft, is based
on the premise that private graft is
very common. 1t is question
whether the business world will adj
nit this Impeachment, and. regardless
of how it pleads, ii is a very difficult
matter to investigate, since, however
common private graft may be, it is
not advertised much more than pub

AND SPIDERS.

An eminent clergyman having ex-
pressed the opinion that the next half
century would usher in the age of bill
lionaires. the Boston Sunday American
requested Thomas w. Lawson, a mil
lionaire stock operator, to give his ex-
pert opinion on the subject, stating
how many billionoires there are likely
to be, where they will come from and
at what time they are due to arrive,
Thomas lawson who is just now max
ing war upon the Standard Oil Trust,
which he aided in organizing, made a
characteristic reply. He said in part:
What of the bllionaires of the flu
ture? Nothing. Make no mistake:
there will be no billionares in the fu

STENENSON'S DARK LANTERN
CAMPAIGN

George Stevenson. who was widely
advertised as having been dismissed
from the service of the railroads, is as
active as ever III his dark-lantern work
in every county of the state in behalf
of the Farrell railroad ticket. 1t is
plain that SteVenson's alleged retire
ment was only a blind to enable him to
get into the confidence of the oppo-
nents of the lobby. That fact was
made evident when Stevenson immedi-
ately after holding a long conference
with Governor Mcbride at the Tacoma
hotel last April, spent the next day in
the special car of Thomas Cooper, one
of the head officials of the Northern
Pacific, in conference with B. S. Gross
cup, Cooper and other railroad Off
Gals. Stevenson played sort of
badger game on Mcbride in order to

THE FORCE OF HABIT.

A rather novel view >of graft and
corruption of public officials was taken
in one of the papers read before the
convention of the National Association
of Grain Dealers in Milwaukee last
week. The author of the paper took
the view that the corruption of public
officials by business men coming in
contact with them regarding contracts,
supplies, etc, was the most natural
thing in the world. for the reason that
to do so was merely to apply the
practice that prevails very largely in
the private business world. He de-
clared that special concessions, COM
missions, rebates, discounts. presents,
tips, etc, We're commonly used to get
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-06-29

discredit him in eastern Washington,
where he had so bitterly denounced
Stevenson as a corruptionist who
should be driven from the state capital.
Stevenson is just as much in the SER
vice of the railroads today as he ever
was. He never had any legitimate
fixing of primaries and conventions
and the Substituting of legislatures. He
is working at his trade today as hard
as ever and there is no reason to be-
lieve that there has been any reduc-
ton in his salary His falling out with
Farrell was a false pretense. Both are
doing their best to elect the lobby
ticket headed by Albert +. Mead.
Stevenson is now busy offering secret
inducements to boiling republicans in
eastern Washington to get into line.
He started in Spokane, the hot-bed OF
republican dsaffection, and he expects
to visit every county in the state be-
fore election. He expects to BRING TO
bear upon party leaders inclined to
bolt the ticket the same peculiar
Establishments that have proven so
successful in making nearly every leg
islature that has ever assembled in
this state the subservient tool of the
lobby
