RAILROAD
MATTERS
Mass Meeting Held in
Town Hall.

There was a well attended
railroad meeting i'll the hall last
evening. The meeting had been
called for the purpose of allow
ing Mr.. kruttschnitt to present
to the people an estimate of the
cost of building the road, but
he was unavoidablv detained
and consequently was not i'll at
tendance The meeting, how
ever, was very enthusiastic.
Attorney Willis was elected
chairman and delivered a few
we'll chosen remarks regarding
the object of the meeting and
the benefits a railroad would
confer upon Fallon.
Senator Williams was one OF
the most enthusiastic supporters
of the road, He stated that he
would lend all the aid he could
toward the project. He thought
the investment would pay siX
per cent from the very start and
ultimately much more In his
opinion broad gauge road
was the proper thing and he
thought the scheme would be a
go and hoped it would.
w. ]. Doug glass. Of Virginia
City, was called upon to address
the meeting, but stated he had
come to hear the remarks of
others. K. l.. Douglass was in
attendance, but made no re-
marks.
District Attorney Grimes
spoke heartily IN. favor of the
project. While the road might
not be a heavy dividend payer
from the start ii would even
tuallv be a good producer, he
believed. He expressed the opin-
ion that the country hereabouts
would be greatly benefited by
a railroad.
Upon motion of Mr.. Williams
the chair appointed a committee
of three to confer with the
Southern Pacific Company, ask
ing that company to lend either
its financial or moral support,
or both. toward the enterprise,
Mr.. Williams, Mr.. X. l.. Doug
lass and Mr.. Kent were named
as the committee.
The meeting showed conelu-
Sively that much interest is be

of the prime factors of success,

Us" OF THE L. :.

In letter to Country Life of
America Walter Page, editor of
Worlds Work declares that, of all
interesting exhibits at St. Louis. the
people are the best According to
Mr.. Page. mingling with and Observ-
ing the crowds that attend the fair is
an infallible remedy for pessimism re-
garding the future of the republic. 1t
is such 4 sane clear-eyed, vigorous,
alert, good natured crowd that it is i'm
possible to believe there is anything
vitality and chrOnically wrong with a
nation made up of such people. They
may be robbed by bOodlers, betrayed by
incompetent officials, they may not
have the manners of cOurtiers, but at
heart the American people. as repre-
scented at st. Louis, are essentially
sound.
ed the big fair will agree with Mr..
Page. As a whole, the crowds may not
be quite 50 fashionably dressed as Il
tailor might wish. If the day is hot,
the men Will unbutton their vests and
peel their coats and try to make
themselves as comfortable as possible.

institutions breeds an independence
of thought and spirit that asserts it
self in the manners and carriage OF
the people. The man who feels that
his spirit is oppressed that his nat
ural rights are artificially circum-
scribed, will reflect his mental depres-
sion in his attitudes.
1t should be the study and the earn
est purpose of our statesmen to main
tain in America the mental and moral
atmosphere that has so long pre-
vailed. A people can be oppressed
and depressed by an economic tyran-
ny as well as by a political tyranny
We have political liberty and have
long had it. The revelations of Miss
Tarbell, Mr.. Lawson and others show
us haw jealousy we must guard our
liberties on the side of industry.

TROUBLE FOR LODGE.

Henry Cabot Lodge, junior senator
from Massachusetts and one of the
high priests of the "standpat" doc
trine, is facing a serious revolt in his
own dooryard, where sentiment for
Canadian reciprocity has grown apace
in the last year.
Lodge is an able man. both in liter
allure and politics, and since his cleo
ton to the senate in 1893 he has built
himself up to be the political boss of
the bay state. 1t takes courage to
oppose his reelection, which is sched-
uled to take place next January, but
the revolt is on, and was preached at
a recent banquet of the Norfolk re-
publican club by l.. A. Cook, candidate
for congress in the Twelfth district.
There are many republicans in
Massachusetts who read more into the
reciprocity declaration of the national
platform than Senator Lodge did Wien
he declared it to the convention at
Chicago. They voice a strong SEN
timent among manufacturers and
wholesalers of New England who feel
that it is about time to take some
action to extend their markets north
ward. They are not sanguine as to
getting favorable trade agreements
with the Canadians but they want to
see a trial made, and have no patience
with the do-nothing policy of the
congressional standpatters. This
sentiment has been expressed in petit
lions and resolutions, but without eff
!; feet. Apparently the only way to
make an impression on Senator Lodge
is to jeOpardiZe his seat in the senate.
and as his term is SO near at an end,
the club lies handy. Candidates are
being suggested TO try conclusions
with him. These include such men as
Governor Bates, former Governors
John D. Long and w. Murray Crane.
The Lodge machine is powerful and
may override this sentiment, but it
stands q chance of getting a smashing
for the business interests of Massachu-
sets are beginning to wake up and
think on the proposition. The result
of the agitation in that state may be
far-reaching, for it may force Lodge
into promising an effort toward recip-
rOcal trade relations with Canada, and
with this break into the phalanx Of the
eastern senator's the cause of recipro-
city would take on new life

A NOVEL PURCHASE

Every one remembers the old
school geography with the map of
Mexico, the big dot representing
Mexico City, and the two large
shaded dots near by, one bearing the
cheerful popcorn and peanut-like
name Of Popocatepeti, the other the
tongue tangling appellation Of Iztacci-
huati.
The boys that fell down on
these two alphabetic eruptions, and
were stood in the corner or were
whaled by teacher because they could
not pronounce them-their name is le-
gion.
Now comes along an American
who buys the first one, and this sug-
gests the nope that he may also buy
the other and that the names may
be changed to something unpronounce-
able, for be it known that Izaccihauti
does not sound at all as it is spelled
ticulation.

without abating in the least their
friendship for the commission plan.
Judging from the open reputation
of the Farrell state ticket by the re-
publicans of Whitman county and the
general disaffection among the repub-
ljcans of every county in eastern
Washington the P-I. is right in it's
opinion that the republicans east of
the Cascades thoroughly understand
the situation However, they do not
regard it in the same light as the Seat
tie organ of the Hill Farrell railroad
interests. They know that if the rail-
roads succeed in electing Mead gov
ernor and republican legislature
Mead will never be put to the test as
to his promise to sign COMMISSION
bill. A legislature elected by the rail-
road lobby would never pass commits
sion bill that would be anything but a
farce. The independent republicans
Of eastern Washington as we'll as many
on the west side will join with the dem
ocrats in the election of a governor
and a legislature that will give the
state an effective railway commission
appointed by the governor.
The acknowledgements says that If
democratic governor is elected the re-
publican legislature will block any at
tempt he may make to have a COM
mission law enacted. 1t would be we'll
for the voters to bear this threat in
mind and to vote for no candidate for
the legislature who will not pledge him.
self to vote and work for an appOintive
commission regardless of who may be
elected governor. The best way to in
sure the election of the right kind Of
legislature is to vote only for the
democratic candidates, all of whom
are bound by their party platform to
vote for an appointive railway commits
sion bill. The republican state plat
form ignored this question, and, of
course, republican candidates are left
free to vote against a commission if
they see fit.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-07-27

Many people are now curious to
know what response Chairman Palmer
of the republican state committee will
make to the suggestion of the Ore
gOnian that Mead be pulled off the
ticket and some man be substituted
who might nave a chance of being
elected. The Oregonian has no love for
George Turner, but it is wise enough
to see that his election as governor is
certain if the railroad candidate fol
governor is not pulled off If Mcbride
had been nominated he would have
been elected by an unprecedented ma
iority. but with Boss Farrell's candi-
date it is now only a question of how
deep he will be buried by the ballots
of the independent self-respectine
voters of the state next November.

George Stevenson, who it is alleged
a few weeks ago, had severed his con-
nection with the railroads as political
gagged as usual during this campaign
in making a dark lantern canvass of
every county of the state in the inter
est of the Farrell ticket and railroad
candidates for the legislature. 1t is
now plain that Stevenson's reported
discharge was only Il trick to enable
him to do his subterranean work more
effectively.

The democratic national committee
did a wise thing in electing Tom Tag
CART of Indiana chairman. Indiana is
regarded rs a doubtful state and it is
well to have a man in charge of the
campaign who knows all about political
conditions there and something about
conditions in Illinois and other middle
western states. Taggart has several
times carried the republican city OF
Indianapolis for the democrats. and if
democratic victory is possible in Indi-
ana, ne will bring it about. No doubt
