CUM GRAND SAILS.

According to a dispatch sent to
Senator -Ankenys paper by his private
secretary. General Chaffee has con-
scented to have some repair work done
at Fort Walla Walla. Although the de-
partment adheres to its determination
to abandon the garrison as d cavalry
post, the correspondent expresses d
hope that four companies of infantry
may be sent here some day. He says
the work of repair will not be begun
this year.
The whole story must be taken with
grain or two of EPSON salts. 1t is
81 good enough Morgan" till after the
November election, as it will serve to
hold some of Mr.. Ankenys followers
in line against Governor Mcbride and
his railroad commission. 1t must be
taken into consideration, however, that
congress has made no appropriation
Walla and none was recommended by
the secretary of war in his annual re-
port. The department on its own
initiotive has no legal right to use
more than 500 900 for the improvement
of any post without an act of congress.
The correspondent says that ample
funds are available Yes, there is
plenty of money in the United States
treasury. but it takes an act of con
gress to get it out.
Senator Ankeny has offered an
Amendment to the sundry civil bill APP
propriating $4,000 for the improve

amendment has not Yet been accepted
by the senate and. even if it should
be approved by that body il will rhef

AS Colonel" w. Nj. Ridpath an
nounced his candidacy for governor
in the Spokane papers six months ago.
his fresh announcement in Senator
Ankeny's local paper today is prob
ably due to a fear that the people had
overlooked him in the shuttle. Ridpath
was Il free silver Bryan shOuter in
1896 and for two or three years was a
member of the state board of control
under Governor Rogers. AS soon as
he saw the strength of pOpulism was
waning he made haste to get back into
the republican ranks. and he is now
one of the rankeSt of them all. Be
tween Doc Smith and Ridpath as can
didates for governor it is HobSOn's
choice The railroad lobby must be
reduced TO desperate straits indeed
when ii is under the necessity of
bringing out such ring boned, spawned
and knock kneed steeds for the race
against Mcbride.

AS CLEAR AS MUD.

Ren1blican organs are now Degln-
ming to discuss the Foraker Dill WHICH
practically repeats the Sherman anti
trust law. and an editorial in the Wall
Street journal is a sample of what we
NAV expect in this line. says Bryan
Cornmoner. The Journal objects to the
word reasonable" in the Foraker bill
and says that word is .'altogether too
broad and indefinite. 1t would open
the door for infinite imposition
Then the thoughts of the Journal ed
itor seem to revert to the distressed
condition of the trust magnates, and
SO he adds:
But of course some relief is neces-
sary. Some law must be passed w:,ich
shall permit the corporations to Sc
cure the benefits Of proper regulations
of competition. A decision adverse in
the Northern Securities company
would probably hasten legislation. 1t
seems to us that it should take the
form of an act enabling the railroads
and other corporations to pool their
business subject to government su-
pervision and a comprehensive publi-
city,
1t will be observed that after all of
it's twaddling and its wabbling the
Wall Street Journal does not get very
far from the Foraker bill itself.
The Foraker bill would prohibit
combinations except in cases where
they were reasonable" and the ques-
ton as to the reasonableness of the
combinations would be a matter for
judicial Interpretation. But the Jour-
nal--while objecting to that word
reasonable" as being altogether too
broad and Indefinite and yet realiz-
ing that of course some relief is ne
cessary' for the poor, overburdened
trust magnates-thinks that railroads
and other corporations should pool
their business subject to government
supervision and "a comprehensive
publicity
Now that is just about as clear, as
mud. ..-;
The Foraker bill would permit rail-
roads and other corporations to pool
their business provided the pooling
process was reasonable The Wall
Street Journal, criticising the Foraker
bill, is in favor of IAN act enabling the
railroads and other corporations to
pool their business subject to govern
ment supervision and comprehen-
sive publicity"

THE TRUST CUTS LIST PRICES.

1t would probably not be difficult
to show that ST. Louis paid much more
for a Metropolitan fire engine than the
price charged this city, but that fact
would prove nothing save that the
ing out for a rake off" However,
that fact has already been thoroughly
demonstrated in the Doodle prOsecu-
tons brought by Circuit Attorney
Folk. The same methods of doing
business prevail to greater or less
extent in New York. Philadelphia
Chicago and some other large cites.
In Minneapolis recently member
of the city council was indicted for
taking rake off'' Of several hundred
dollars in the purchase Of fire hose
from the trust that is endeavoring to
secure a complete monopoly in the sale
of fire apparatus throughout the Unit
ed States.
If the Walla Walla council can buy
from independent companies appara-
tus and supplies for the fire depart
ment of as good quality as can be pur-
chased of the trust and at lower
price, it should give the trust the
worst of it every time on general prin-
ciples.
The American Fire Engine Company
is now building for the city of MllWau-
kee three special extra first size Met
ropolitan fire engines. capacity of each
1000 gallons per minute. engines to be
equipped with rubber tires four-inch
front and five-inch rear, anti-friction
delivered freight prepaid for $4,000
each The extra first size engine is
usually $3.50 higher in price than the
first size purchased by Walla Walla.
On the 18th inst the same trust COM
pany sold an extra first size engine to
the city of Omaha for $500. On No
vember 9th. 1908 the same company
offered to sell the city of Troy, \. Y.
first class engine, freight prepaid to
Troy for $3.50.
Walla Walla's new engine is to cost
$500 at the factory and the freight
charges will probably bring the price
up to $500.
These facts are respectfully submit
ted to the taxpayers without TURNER
own conclusions.

A WORLD WAR.

1t is but natural that the CORE
spondents in the European capitals
should be daily tempted to assert that
the world war is at hand.
1t is not strange that the treaty by
which Korea, though nominally guar
anteed its independence, really be-
comes Il Japanese protectorate, should
be made the occasion of another pre-
diction that a Widespread war is at
hand.
Once such a war as that which has
just begun to rage gets We'll started
there is no telling, of course, what
complication may ensue. The fact
that the cause of the war is the con-
dieting aims of two great powers re-
garding a portion of Chinese territory
and that all the great nations are in
tensely interested in the fate of China
is enough to make the situation one
that may explode at any moment
Yet there are some facts that tend
strongly to dam the tide that would
draw other nations into the comba,
Of Slav and Jap. At present the only
way the theater of war could be en-
larged would be through the decision
Of France that the coalition of Korea
and Japan against Russia binds the
| republic, under the terms of the
Russia's assistance. II France were te
| do that then Great: Britain, under the
terms of the Anglo japanese treaty
would range herself on the side OF
Japan.

DIVORCES IN CANADA.

If divorces in the United States du-
ring the three decades from 1867 to
1901 had been the same per capita as
in Canada, there would have been less

exchange. In other words. the di
vOrces granted in the United States
would have been reduced by 66S,000

But France does ont want war,

But France does ont want war,
much as it may sympathize with Rus
STA. An unsuccessful war would
mean the despoilation by Great Brit
the reduction of France to a debt
burdered, impoverished. dispirited
third-rate nation. 1t is likely, there
fore, that the French statesmen will
take full advantage Of the fact that
the coalition of Japan and Korea, af-
ter the virtual conquest of the latter
by the former. is in no proper sense
an alliance. and that the formal proc
lamation of intimate relations between
the two countries in no sense menaces
Russia more than she was menaced

ability to do with Korea as she pleased.
Such an alliance unders duress should
not be accepted by France as the kind
of an alliance the Franco Russian

France to join Russia in the event of
the latter being attacked by two ma
tons.
It is possible that. Gernlanys CO.

who are adroitly steering the ship OF
state of the republic with view to
preserving it rather than some other
ship.
Britain will take any part in the war
so long as victory perches on the Jap
anese standards and perhaps not in any
event unless her statesmen become
convinced that Russian victory actu-
ally threatens the whole fabric of
Britains Asiatic empire. France is
no mean enemy. and the British food
supply is too precariOus for the ru-
lers of the empire to take any chances
in the game of war that are not actu-
ally forced upon them. Victory in
such war would be little better than
defeat. English commercial suprem-
acy would i'll any event be thing of
the past.
Considering these elements of the
situation and many more, is it not wise
that the war fire will spread there are
good reasons for believing that it will
at least for some time yet. be localized?

that place and his duty is to drive to

take his place was being taught the
route, and was to have taken charge
of same the following morning after

the depot they were compelled to drive
across the tracks of the West Jersey
Shore Railroad. The morning was a
nasty foggy one, and in a letter to his
parents Harry said that they could not
see more than ten feet ahead of them.
AS they drove on they nearcd the rail

though Harry was terribly frightened
he did not receive a scratch. He, how
ever, was SO greatly shocked at his
own narrow escape and the sudden
death of his friend that it was several
hours before he could regain his right
senses, and even then he could not
give much information to the five hun
dred or more persons who had so quick

the hand of Providence that saved our
townsman from terrible death and
his friends in this city join with the
family in rejoicing at his escape.

young man of this city, had accepted

There is strong talk of building a
trolley line by the Hay Company from
Clinton to Frenchtown, which will
cost S150,0o0. We are told if this road
is built, the Johnson road that is being
built from Trenton to New Hope and
Lambertville will be extended up the
river to Frenchtown, making a con-
Meeting link of trolleys to the State
capital and to the large cities. If the
Clinton aud Frenchtown line be not
built, then the Johnson line will be
extended to Pennington from Lam
bertville and the Hay line now build
ing from Easton to Washington and
Clinton go OH to Bound Brook via
Pennington, there making connections
that will virtually leave Frenchtown
off the map of business which the troll
ley enterprise furnishes.
1t is said that the trolley fare from
Lambertville to Trenton will be
twenty-five cents. Hurry it up.
