IRISH IN AERICA.
Struggle Against the British Rule Is
Often Forgtten.

The struggle Of Ireland against
British misrule and oppression is so
we'll known that it is oftentimes for
gotten. When a people like the Beers
engage in despairing struggle against
the same great world power it is nat
ural that many Irshmen should VOL
unteer to join the Boer standard. One
OF the braVest and best known Of these
Hibernian volunteers was Captain o.
Donnell of the Orange Free State. He
enlisted and served through the war
with great distinction, showing the
traditional Irish fire and fury against
England. He will tell of his military
experiences and his impressions of the
war next Tuesday night at the Walla
Walla opera house. He is travelling
with General Joubert, the great Boer
leader and lecturing in order to raise
funds for bringing the BOer colony to
settle in the west.

il crying out for an elective commits
sion now, in a desperate effort to stem
the Mcbride tidal wave; but when OPP
portunity was afforded the railroad
owned senate to pass an elective COM
mission bill, it rejected it with scorn.
If Mr.. Judson or any other democratic
orators doubt this recital of history,
they can satisfy themselves of it's truth
by applying for information to Senator
Will G. Graves, Senator Warren w.

of the state of Washington"
1t is no more than fair to Governor
Mcbride to give his answer to the
same question at Spokane last Satur-
day He said:
Il am not particularly concerned
about charges made against me by the
railroad lobby or it's henchmen, but
since YOU have asked the question,
have not the slightest objection to an
swering it. l was lieutenant governor
during the Legislature Of 1901. Prior
to the meeting of the legislature some
of us republicans who favored the
creation of a commission consulted
together over the situation.
Il felt then, as l have always felt.
that it was proper to give the appoint
ment of the commission to the gov
ernor; but, after mature deliberatlon
and thorough canvass of the sltua-
ton, we concluded that it would be
impossible to pass through a republic
can legislature a bill giving demo-
cratic governor power to appoint
railroad commission. Having reached
that conclusion, we next canvassed
things to find out what kind of bill
we could pass. and the result was that
the Preston bill was drafted and intro
duced. That bill proposed to give the
appointing power to the governor, the
lieutenant governor and the state sau-
ditor, which would have meant a re-
publican commission. The railroad
lobby defeated the bill.
"Following the defeat Of the Pres
ton bill. l called on Governor Rogers
and told him that if he could line up
the solid democratic vote in the SEN
ate for the Tolman bill-which gave
him the power to appoint the commits
siOn-I would do my best to line up
republican votes for it. That promise
| carried out Senator Hammer, re-
publican. from my own county, voted
for the Tolman bill. as did nearly all
the really sincere republican friends
of the commission in the senate. Some
of our best friends, however, we could
rot get into line, and Of course, the
railroad crowd fought the TOlman bill
as, bitterly as they had the Preston
bill, and We We're beaten as badly as
on the Preston bill.
Senator Tolman, democrat, haV-
ing nothing in common politically with
myself has stated these facts in a
public interview. l never opposed a
bill giving the governor power to ap-
point railroad commission, and no.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Henry Rice Attempts to Cash Worth.
less Check.

Sunday morning Officer Casey ar
rested Henry Rice who is now in Jail
and will probably have to answer to
charge of forgery. Late Saturday
afternoon Rice went into the grocery
store Of Charles DeMoss, corner First
and Alder streets, and requested that
checkson one of the banks be cash
ed. The check was made payable to
Rice and was signed by The Schwa-
bacher company. AS Rice was a COM
plete stranger and acted in a very sus-
picious manner Mr.. DeMoss refused
to cash it, and as soon as the man left
the store DeMoss informed the police.
They at once began search for Rice
but were unable to locate him. Sun
day morning, however, Officer Casey
found him on Main street and placed
him under arrest. When taken into
custody Rice would have nothing to
say about the matter except that he
had arrived in Walla WaIla several
days ago from Astoria, Or. 1t devel-
oped today that Rice had tried to cash
the check at several other stores Sat
urday. When arrested Rice had the
check on his person.

PAY OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.

The recent movement in Philadel-
phia in the interest of school teachers
and their pay brought out many sur
prising facts about the meager wage
which the instructors of youth receive,
but more surprising things are COM
ing to light from the investigations of
the New England Educatinal Associa-
ton and other bodies. The average
yearly salary Of the 100000 public
school teachers of the United States is
1926. The average salary of the men
is less than 1892, and Of the women.
less than $270. We are on the eve Of
great movement in behalf of the
American public school. Students of
our social and government problems,
Psychologists and plain Americans are
recognizing the utility Of the public
school as the mighty agency which
turns human raw material into Ameri
can citizens, and earnest men are con-

even more effective than it is. One
prominent educator declares that the
first thing to be done is to improve the
teacher; improve his or her physique,
equipment, character And yet, it is
not likely that any method of doing
this will be hit upon except by offering
suitable inducements to ambitious
young men and women to adopt teach
ing as a life work. The Colorado La
Dor Commissioner found on inveStiga-
ton that out OF thirty two Occupa-
tons the only ones commanding Aless
pay than teachers were gravel roof
ers, clerks, laborers and walters: and
the walters get their tips Associa-
tons and sOciologists may thunder
forth their theories. but the efficiency
OF the teaching body will depend on
the salaries paid; it will cost money,
and it will pay.

ONLY AN ARTFUL DODGE.

The railroad organs after a desper-
ate effort to overcome the commission
sentiment of the state, with no more
success than Mother Darlington had in
driving back the ocean tide with her
broom, are now pretending to favor an
elective railway commission. Under
the direction Of George Stevenson,
king of the lobby, they are ready to
adopt any ruse that promises to di-
vide the advocates of a commission or
tc make the proposed reform a farce
through corrupt manipulation. The
railroad bunch had chance to get an
elective commission at the last session
of the Legislature, but being confident
of their ability to maintain their hold
on the political machinery of the
state, they would have no kind of
commission.
Dave Larimer of the Spokesman
Review relates the following interest
After the defeat of the appontive
commission bill Governor Mcbride had
conference with several prOcOmmiS-
sion senators, including both republic
cans and democrats. at which it was
agreed that an elective commission bill
should be introduced. Governor Nc
Bride remarked that AN elective COM
mission, while it would probably be
inefficient, is better than none, and it
will be a step in the right direction
Accordingly Senator Warren w. Toll
man of Spokane county, who was at
the conference, and who had introduce
&c the appOintive commission bill, in
PRODUCED an elective commission bill.
This bill was referred to the railroad

Chairman Baker absolutely refused to
call the committee together to consid-

offered a resolution withdrawing the
bill from the committee This reso-
luton was tabled by the solid railroad
vote IN the senate. Every commission
advocate in the senate supported Sem

THE BADGER GAME IMAM {.

Law abiding people generally will
agree that the badger game is being
-oNerworked in this town. Within two
weeks two prominent and wealthy
citizens have been forced to give up
large sums of money by unprincipled
men and women acting in colluSion to
place their victims in a compromising
situation and then threatening expos
ure if hush money were not fOrthcom-
ing The charges made against the
victims should be taken by the public
with due allowance for the motives of
the operators of the game, who, of
course. make the alleged conduct of
their helpless victims as infamous and
heinous as possible in order to destroy
all sympathy for them.
Men who have been guilty of rob-
berry and blackmail by this badger
game have openly Haunted their gold
in the face of the public and have
locked upon themselves as heroes and
by some of similar instincts have been
upheld as clever artists in their line.

will be seen that in other commune

as dangerous crime and is adequate

to run unmOleSted it is far worse than
open gambling and it is no wonder
that it is regarded by some men as
more profitable than any tin horn
game. There is no telling how soon
some innocent man may be caught

there is a possibility that a few might

that his room is better than his COM

great pleasure that reproduce the
following from the Washington Star,
which is q Republican paper from

Mr. Alfred MoseIy a distinguished Eng
lish capitalist who visited the United
States last year for the purpose OF inves-
tigating our industrial methods. condi
lions and line of thought, has since his
return home been giving his countrynen
through the medium of the press the re-
suit OF some of his observations. Speak
ing on the subject of the tariff, he tells
them in substance that there is no free
trade party in this country and that the
discussion of revising our customs sched-
ules goes no further than whether per-
haps they"-the American people. are
not taxing themselves unnecessarily iii
certain Industries
This statement is so true that tits sur
prisingi to find it contradicted by an Amer
lean newspaper, the New York Journal of
Commerce, watch declares that the Dem
ocratic party in this country is quite out
of sympathy with the protective policy;
that they make their free trade pro-
gramme the cornerstone of their policy
and can find little else to rest it on.
The Engiishman has the right of this
matter There is no free trade party in
the United States. No man whose name
is mentioned in connection with the Dem
ocratic nomination for president this year
stands for free trade or for anything APP
preaching it.
Every Republican orator in the Unit,
ed States ought to be compelled to
commit that editorial to memory and
repeat it to every audience he adj
dresses, but will it be done? Not on
your lifeI They will go on repeating
their stale lies with a great deal of
gusto as long as they can wag their
tongues.

RoossveIt's $4,000 Stable.

Colonel NJ. E. Benton of Missouri
who is member of the appropriations
committee of the house, has some very
decided opinions on the subject OF
building a $4,000 stable for the presi
dents horses.
There are plenty of rich men in this
country, says the Missouri congressman
who live in worse places than the presi-
dents stables as they now are These old
stables would be palatial abode to the
average American.
First they wanted $4,000 for the new
barn, but they've grown brave in spite OF
the economy prevailing and now ask fol-
$4,000. This is big sum to spend on the
presidents 'ffstulaed mounts, for which
any stable is good enough. And it is said
too. that the president is the hardest man
on horse who ever bestrode one. He
wears EN- out on the granitoid pavements
of this town until the hoofs are ridden off
1 would not hire one OF my horses to him
at any price.
You can publish it all over Missouri
that I'm against those stables. I don't
know what the majority on the committee
is going to do about the matter, but I'm
in favor of cutting out 100000 stables when
not a congressman here can get money
for public buildings in any of the good
towns of this country
