\ LONG WAR.

Russia will not yield to Japan.
The definite announcement of the for
nation of a second Manchurian army
with General Grippenberg at it's head
means that the colossal empire has
made up it's mind to fight this war out
to the end. If it is possible for Russia
done if it takes the last rouble and the
last cOnscript. We shall now hear
no more of this talk about Russia ac-
cepting defeat and making peace be-
fore the war is a year Old. 1t is more
likely that this great conflict will APP
prOXimate the length of our civil war
In the short wars Of recent years
the actual conflict has been on the ter
ritory of one nation or the other
Strictly speaking, this war is not be-
ing fought in the territory of either
cOmbatant. This would be true in
Manchuria We're beyond question. The
men and money for the war come
from Russia proper. 5000 miles from
the scene of conflict. The war may
go on for years without the average
Russian knowing much more of its
existence from actual contact with
the horrors and destruction of war
than the average American.
No wheat fields are being trampled
down, no great cities are besieged, no
vital railway system is destroyed, the
enemy gets no grip on the heart Of the
actual theater of the war is much the
same. There is only the remOtest
possibility that the war will ever
come in grim actuality to the shores
of Nippon. This, then, is not a war
that can be terminated by some single
blow so decisive that defeat is as plain
to the defeated as victory is to the
victorious. Neither of the cOmbatantS
exposes a vital spot to the antagon-
ist The issue of such a war becomes
a question of resources in men and
money more than any other war ever
fought 1t will prOba bly, be fought, bar
ring the armed intervention Of other
nations or internal dissensionS in
Russia, until one or both of the COM
batants is completely exhausted.

and he hoped that men of science,
might discover the germ and modes of
cure or prevention. Plans have now
been filed, and it is announced that
crate of its kind in the world. 1t will
undoubtedly be as extensive and com
plete as the present state of medical
science makes possible. AS mortality
among children in New York has been
unusually large this summer. the first
step toward executing Mr. Rockefel
ler's project comes at an suspicious
time. Charity and education are on a
different footing as far as receiving
gifts is concerned. The business of
an educational institution is to edu-
cate, and it may be plausibly MAIN
money which has been made by notO-
rious immortality would be the best ed
ucation for the students and the pub
lic not to mention the question of
what effect such gifts have upon the
teaching of professors. But in cnari
ty no such questions arise. Charity is
and always has been a proper subject
for gifts of penitence, especially when
it is practiced quietly, and charity
which springs from sympathy and
suffering, like Mr.. Rockefellers latest
institution, is human nature on one
CT it's fairest sides.

Atkinson last night had much to say
about George Turner's alleged vote in
the constitutional convention of 1889
against the anti-pass caluSe. He had
nothing to say. however, about Mead's
violation of his oath of office in vot-
ing against an anti-pass bill drawn
in accordance with the mandate of
that clause of the constitution Turner
was free to use his own judgment as
to what should be incorporated in the
constitution. but after the constitution
was adopted as the fundamental law
of the state no public official can be
justified in violating his oath of Office
by ignoring its mandates.

WORKING THE PUBLIC IN 1926.

The Wall Street Journal has dug
out from a New York newspaper of
August % 1926, a satirical account of
one of the get-rich-puick methods of
seventy eight years ago. 1t had to do
with wildcat banking, which was one
of the faVOrite methods of getting the
first step shown by the unknown
writer of 1926 was to get a lobbyist at
Albany to work through a bill for
bank with a capital of a million dol
lars. Then a long list of directors was
to be advertised. Should any one of
them object to the fraudulent charac-
ter of the enterprise he might be
bought off. With public confidence
thus secured, bank notes were to be is
sued to twice or thrice the amount of
the capital. AS soon as the market
was glutted with notes the banks
doors We're to be closed and brokers
were to be employed to buy up the
notes at 3715 cents on the dollar.
The methods are almost exactly
those of the present day. There is the
reputable directorate securing public
confidence, the issuing of vast guam
titles of worthless stock and the SELL
ing of the same to the public.
The Amalgamated copper deal and
the fiotation of the common stock of
the steel corporation are cases in
point.
Stringent laws finally stopped the
robbery of the public by wildcat bank
ing. And the Wall Street Journal
suggests that analogous restraints
must be applied to present day cor
pOra tons.

BARREL FUMES GAVE WAY.
PaIouse Street Flooded With Water
Last Night.

The big elbow joint in the old SchOll
Bros mill f1ume. at the southeast
corner of Palouse and East Alder
streets, collapsed early yesterday eve
ming and the water that poured out in
a huge stream soon flooded the east
side of Palouse street for nearly a
block to the south. Water Superin-
tendent knight soon had a force of
men at work pumping the water away
from the joint while an effort was made
to tighten the iron bands that hold it.
The men worked all night. but finding
it impossible to repair the joint under
such strong head of water, the flow
was shut off this morning and prepar-
ations made to reconstruct the elbow

VALUE OF OUR FISHERIES.

The United States fish commissioner in his annual
report says that the salmon industry of the Pacific
in 1902 reached larger proportions than ever before
and became the leading branch of the United States
fisheries if the value of the product prepared for
market is considered. The pack of canned salmon
was more than 3,500000 eases of As one-pound cans
and in addition upward of 100000 pounds of
fresh smoked and salted salmon were marketed. The
pack of canned salmon in Alaska was over 2,500000
cases. an increase of half million eases over 1901
In the Puget Sound region the supply of fish was
much smaller than in the previous year, but the
season was considered successful owing to the good
prices received The fall run Of salmon in the Col.
umba river was remarkably large, and for period
of three weeks the canneries wese unable to handle
the catch AT some of the seine fisheries 20 tons Of
chinook salmon were sometimes taken in one day,
and the gill-ne fishermen had no difficulty in loading
their boats in night. From careful computation
made by the commission it appears that in 1902 the
wonderful Pacific salmon fisheries yielded abiut 2SO
100000 pounds of round fish, whose first value, as
placed on the market, was $1S,000,000.

in prison while undergoing just sentence 1t is not
agreeable to dwell upon these things; but it would
be revolving to the community sense Of decency
for any one to attempt to apotheosize such char.
acter. Let him pass in silence
The trade unions must realize now that they
made, some of them shocking mistake when at
Schenectady not long ago, they attempted to array
themselves against the state and to punish one of
their members for obeying the call of the governor
in performing his sworn obligations as citizen. 1t
would be greater mistake now to attempt to exalt
and glorify man whose chief title to any notice
whatever was the fact that he was lawbreaker,
Neither this nor any other civilized community would
give sympathy, even in their just demands to those
who persisted in defying the law and in making
heroes and leaders of lawbrakers, and martyrs Of
those who fall in conflict with just laws.

Councilman Lebeck, who strong.

will result satisfactorily to the city.
He says the people of the district

NOT A HERO NOR A MARTYR.

The old rule to speak nothing save good of the
dead may generally be salutary. II ought not to
be enforced, however, to the extent Of wronging thu
living but even in its fullest application it cannot be
made to justify the speaking Of undeserved good Of
the dead To forbid the speaking Of evil is not to
command the speaking of good. To refrain from
telling unpleasant truths about the dead may be at
times commendable to utter fattering falsehoods
about either the dead or the living.
It is therefore, to be hoped that the members
and friends of organized labor will discreety resist
all impulses, from whatever source they may pro-
ceed to make a hero or a martyr out of the late
"sam" Parks, says the New York Tribune He
