PRACTICAL DEMOCRACY.

In order to live and endure a party
must demonstrate its usefulness De-
mocracy must either prove itself the
agent of the people or resign its title
either secure 4 restoration of the peo-
pies principles to governmental func-
lions or reIinquish its claim upon their
allegiance and support. However vir-
tuOus may be the principles which it
symboliZes. their mere excellence as
distractions cannot guarantee perma-
nent party life. Principles survive by
application and test Parties survive
by their serviceability.
In order to represent the people in
the true sense, democracy must control
government. In the sense that it has
been powerful minority. a threaten
ing opposition, it has served powerfully
as a stimulus and as a check upon the
majority party. But this is not the
function which the people value Nor
in the past eight years have the check
and stimulus been as potent for good
as they would have been under normal
conditions. \ despotic and extraordi-
nariIy developed republican machine
has ignored the voice of the people as
expressed in both parties.

IT SHOULD BE STOPPED.

There is much complaint among peO-
pie living in the west part of town Of
the notorious association of certain
white women of loose morals with
negro soldiers. 1t is also said that
these women act as procurers in lead
ing young girls of from fourteen to
sixteen years into the clutches of amor
GUS colored men. That young girls
may be seen almost any night in the
company of colOred soldiers on West
Main and West Rose street below Sev-
enth there is not the least reason to
doubt. The police are kept busy in
trying to break up cIandestine meetings
between white women and girls and
dusky lovers in that part of town. In
the South such association would not
be tolerated for a day and it is GER
tainly being overdOne in Walla Walla
with all its liberality in the treatment
Of the COlOred race. If big burIy white
men were found wandering around in
u'tih PAGES after night with girls UNI
der eighteen years of age they would
be arrested on suspicion in short order
and their chances of being sent to the
pen would be good. Greater leniency
toward colored offenders should not be
tolerated and if it is continued it may
yet lead to serious trouble that will
make it doubtful whether after all the
garrison was worth retaining at such
a cost.
There are some things in WaIa
WaIla much worse than the violation of
the Sunday law or the running of the
alters near churches. and they should
receive more attention from the good
people of the town.

for her the opportunity TO enter slgor-

quiring Korea.

Nanchurian railway connections with
the Siberian railroad and making a

China in 1898. The present war, IN

was the direct result of her occupation
of Chinese territory and her march, in
aggressive fighting order, eastward,
practically challenging Japan to mob
olize her sea and land forces in self
defense.

THE CAR WILL FIGHT.

The official circular issued at St

a sufficient answer to the cars neigh
bOrs who have been showing no little
solicitude as to the war in Asia. and
have made personal efforts to lead him
to accept their mediatorial offices. The

not allow the intervention of any power

gotiatiOns after the war"
This is decisive language and in the
nature of crisp warning to the Euro
pean powers that write their names
with a big capital "P' that they must
keep their hands off when settlement
day comes, and that they need not ex-
pect to repeat the game they played
in 1873.
Russia evidently is in no mood to
undergo such humiliation as she I'M

hundred millions fighting Turkey and
unfurling the yellow imperial standard
with its double headed eagle in sight
of the dome of st. Sophia and Con-
stantinople, and by treaty annihilat-
ing. practically, the Turkish power in
Europe, she was halted by the inter-
vention of England. who rushed her
fleet through the DardaneIles to save
her dear old ottoman ally At that
time England brought the powers to-
gether in the Radzivin palace in Ber-
lin, where they annihilated Russia's ar
rangement with Turkey and secured
fat takes" of Turkish territory for
themselves. leaving Russia only Bes-
sarabia and a bit of Armenia Russia
was not strong enough then after the
exhaustion of a costly war to resist
this predatory intervention, but she
is not disposed to be euchered out of
what she may consider the legitimate
spoils of war, or whatever she may get
after the present war is over. This
is on the assumption, of course, that
she gets something out of this war
besides defeat.
In announcing her determination to
the powers touching mediation or in
tervention, Russia declares that the
war was forced upon her''-a sttae-
ment which the apostle of peace" and

Water is distributed through q miles
of mains, to which two miles will be
added this year. For hydrant connec-
tions Pinch mains are used and four

1t seems likely that Walla WaIla
viii be under the necessity of sinking
wells in the vicinity of Thomas springs
in order to develop a water supply.
The report of Engineer Thomson of
Seattle, made to Councilman Smith,
after a birds eye view of the Mill
creek valley and after reading the re-
ports made by Engineer Kiersted in
1898 and by Engineer Weile in 1903
recommends the sinking of wells under
the direction of a competent hydraulic
engineer as the best method of solving
the water problem.
1t is time for some definite action to.
be taken for the solution of this i'm
portant question and the Statesman
believes that the people of the city
would sustain the mayor and council
in following the plan outlined by En-
gineer Thomson.
1t is not easy to see how the city
could now carry out the Weile plan
involving an expenditure of $250000
and the development of a water sup
ply by the sinking of wells now appears
to be the most feasible and econom-
zeal plan proposed.
