WALLA WALLA PEOPLE ARE
THANKFUL

No people on earth have more rea-
sons for giving thanks to the Oliver
of every good and perfect gift for
manifold blessings than the favored
people of the Walla Walla valley.
Talk of the land of milk and honey.
Canaan was not in it for minute
with this beautiful valley for milk
and honey, luscious fruits and whole
some grains, outrageous trees and
succulent grasses. balmy atmosphere,
perfect blending of sunshine and
cloud, ethereal moonlight nights, brave
men AMI fair women. Canaan may
have looked like heaven to the home
less Israelites who had wandered forty
years in the desert wilderness living
on mamma or whatever else a watchful
Providence might hand out to them,
but if they could have seen the Walla
Walla valley from some Pisgah height
in the Blue mountains, they would
have been enraptured indeed and Mar
Gus Whitman would have been saved
his fatal task of saving Oregon.
Canaan may have been the best
place on earth in it's day, but it is a
dreary waste today compared with the
fertile valley in which we dwell, with
h ct Yon 70 ly0
afraid
Besides the generous gifts of ma
ture in bounteous crops and glorious
climate, the people of this valley are
fast acquiring all the improvements
and benefits that have sprung from
the genius, invention and industry of
man. Railroads. telegraph and tele-
phone lines place us in close commune
cation with one another and in quick
touch with all the civilized world We
have here in Whitman college one of
the greatest and most promising edu-
catIonal institutions on the Pacific
coast. Our public schools rank with
the best and our school buildings are
the pride and ornament of the city.
Our hospitals are modern in their
equipments and appointments and are
justly famed for the conscientious care
given their patients. Our church
buildings are credit to the city and
no other town of the size has more
able eXpounders of the gospel of good
will. Walla Walla College conducted
by the Seventh Day Adventists at Col
1ege Place is an institution of high
rank and is adding to the reputation of
Walla Walla as an educational center.
The foundation of a $4,000 free Ii
brary building is being laid through

DR.. Laloy, writing in La Nature, a
Paris publication, says that a man
does not hear his own voice as the
rest of the world hears it. Accord
ing to a translation made by the
Literary Digest, DR.. Laloy explains !:
IF person records on phonograph
few sentences pronounced by him
self, together with others by his
friends, and causes the machine to
reproduce these at the end of brief
period, it generally happens that he
easily recognizes his friends voices,
but not his own. On the other hand,
the friends recognize his voice per
fsctly. This singular fact proves
that every one hears his own voice
differently from others. AS is re-
marked by Professor Exner, the diff
ference must lie in the quality of
tone. 1t must be remembered that
one hears his own voice not only
through the air, rs do his auditors,
but across the solid parts situated
between the organs of speech and
those of hearing. The sound thus
produced has different timbre from
that conducted to the ear by air
alone. We may show this as follows
Take the end of a wooden rod between
the teeth and pronounce vowel con
tinuonsly. Let the other end be al.
ternately taken between the teeth and

THE POWER Of HOME.
Its Relation to Society and Its influence
In the Church.

In the Church.
The unit of society is the home. En-
rpllment that assumes to be thorough is
not a registration by individuals, but
by families. If we were to say that the
structure Of society is cellular, we
should have TO say that it is the family
that constitutes each separate cell. No
man, however entire, is a cell. No
woman, however complete, is cell.
There is no finished cell except in the
grouping of several individuals bound
by the ties of domesticity. A bachelor is
q dislocated fragment. His female coun.
terpart is in the same category. It may
not be their fault It may lie in the
necessity of their case. Still, all in all,
it is condition foreign to divine in
tention.
1t is to the family, therefore, that we
shall have to look as being the prime
point Of concern in I'll that relates to
the veal OF our timSs and our kind.
The strength and health of society are
to be measured by the amount Of affec
ronare emphasis that is laid OH the
home idea. and the wholesomeness Of
society is simply the sanctity of the
home writ large Homes are each Of
them the separate roots that carry theil
several contributions to the organized
structure of the frneral life.
All Of this holds whether society be
considered in its religious relations,
which we know as the church, or in ita
secular ones, known as the state. The
home is the first church, and the home
Is the firsk state. There is nothing in
either of the two that is not initially
present in small way inside the home
circle. As regards the former there is .
very important idea conserved in 80 ar.
ranging our church auditoriums 40 to
combine the congregation without sacri.
6cing the identity Of its families. The
pew system of worship is the deft way
that our church architecture takes tc
teach the doctrine that each home is q
lite religious organism. This is one of
those interesting cases where sense OF
fitness, even without being distinctly
conscious Of it. nevertheless asserts it.
self and creates very substantial ex.
preston of itself. And there is nc
preacher-at least there is no pastor
who does not carry distinctly in hia
head, and particularly in his heart, this
cellular structure of his congregation
and does not feel that the significance
Of his congregation depends not on the
number Of its individuals. but on the
number Of its families. Rev. G. II

WORKING A SMOOTH SCHEME.


Some time in the future the inhabl-
tants of the United States are going
to take an ..telligept interest IN poll
tics. They will have their represent
tatives decently paid to look after
their interests. they will know what
they are doing and what their money
is spent for.
An amazing list of robberies
through the government will be un-
earthed when the people find the time
and the intelligence to look after
their own affairs.
Hav' you ever heard, for instance,
Of the bill to provide for the admins
tration of the forest preserves7
You know that homesteader-a
man who had taken up small allot-
ment of government land under GER
tain restrlctions-wasa allowed, in case
his homestead was absorbed by a
government preserve, to take up
lands elsewhere. In other words, If
the government put him out of his
particular piece of land, he could
take his pick of other government
lands to make up for it.
There was very fine chance to rob
the government and the people, if
only the railroads could arrange one
little detail of law.
They did manage it.
The law was changed SO that q
railroad, disposed of certain real es-
tate bv the government for forest
reserve purposes, could take it's pick
of other government land.
The rest was easy.
The railroads, as you know, have
in various ways, chiefly dishonest, &C.
quired total of thousands upon
thousands of square miles of govern
ment land. Some of this is very
poor land-including the tops of
mountains in the Rockies and great
deal of worthless, unproductlve ter
ritory.
The law, however, was made to say
that if the government took any rail
road lands the railroads could select,
acre for acre, out of the government
reserves in exchange.
Thereupon the railroad manged to
have their utterly worthless land in
cluded in the government forest pre-
serves. They turned over to the ma
ton enormous and utterly worthless
territories
In exchange they took from the
diminishing public lands vast tracts
of splendid timber land, worth twenty
dollars or more an acre.
That is one little plan for robbing
the people through the government
First, au honest looking law is pre-
pared to protect the poor home
steader. If the government takes
his land, of course it is only fair to
give him his pick of government land
in return.
The next step is to make this same
rule apply to the railroads.
The third step, easily managed
with aid of little brlbe money OF
promise of stock exchange profits, is
to have the government take the rail
roads worthless lands, that they
might get the finest government land
in excnange.
When the people of the country
get over the haElt of looking only at
their little. individual money-making
schemes, when they realize that rob-
berry of the government really means
robbery of the individual citizen,
