WAILULA'S DEPUTY SHERIFF.

The important and presumptuous
parsonage who occupies the exalted
position of deputy sheriff at Wallula
has won the reputation of being an
over officious bully who seeks to hide
his cowardly instincts by a great dis
play of authority and mock courage.
tending strictly to his own affairs
tending strictly to his own business
was struck over the head with a club
by this officer because the young man
had started to walk from the station to
a business house without asking the
deputy's permission.
Some time ago when a prominent
attorney of Walla Walla protested
against gun play made by the deputy
sheriff in a Chinese restaurant because
his order was not served as promptly
as he thought his importance de-
manded. the officer threatened this
gentleman, following him about town
and once going so far as to knock off
his hat in an attempt to provoke
a fight. The Walla Walla citizen sup
posed the officer was drunk and showed
much forbearance toward him until as
sured by men who knew the officer that
he was not drunk but simply playing
his role Of bully. Then the citizen told
the officer that another word out of
him would cost him a sound thrashing
and at that the officer took a sneak
into the rear of saloon and did not
show himself to the citizen again.
Recently three gentlemen from iWalla
Walla, one of them a police officer on
vacation trip. were held up by this
Jealous and vigilant deputy, who de-
manded to know their business in
Wallula. One of them answered that
they were waiting for their train and
offered to show his ticket, but as he
reached in his coat pocket for it, the
brave officer stuck a gun in his face
and commanded him not to draw.
This deputy sheriff has been most Of
fensive in his treatment of harvest
workers and other labOrers passing
through Wallula, taking it for granted
that every man in overalls was a hobo
and a thief. About a year ago he shot
and dangerously wounded an inoffen-
sive wOrkingman who was walking
from the w. & c. station at Hunts
junction to the O. r. & n. station at
Wallula, because the man resisted
what he believed was an attempt by a
highwayman to hold him up.
The deputy sheriff at Wallula GER
tainly needs discipline. if nothing
worse. His conduct deserves thorough
investigation by the county authori-
ties.

MEAD NOT HIS OWN MAN.

The Prescott Spectator says:
If the republican state convention

have nominated Henry Mcbride for
governor of Washington, and he would
have been elected by the greatest ma
jOrity ever given a candidate in the
state of Washington Mcbride, though.
did not suit the machine politicians
and the railroad crowd, so he was
ruthlessly turned down, and with him
went the best interests of the people of
this state, as far as the republican state
ticket is concerned. Mr. Mead may be
a sanity character, but he can never
make the people of the state of Wash
ington believe that he would be a free
agent if elected governor. George
Turner is man whom the people of
this state honor and respect, regardless
of party politics: President Roose-
welt respected him. and honored him.
He did not seek nor did he desire the
nomination for governor: the people
h"H''"n the democratic party de-
nande him. and the people, indie
pendent of political prejudice will GER
tainly elect him, sophistry, SANDER and
abuse to the contrary notwithstanding.

Chairman Goodwin Is Sanguine.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 27.-Chair-
man J. w. Goodwin of the democratic
committee has returned from a weeks
trip through a part Of eastern Wash
ington. Mr.. Goodwin spent much of his
time in Spokane, but at that point he
came into contact with leaders from all
parts of the East Side. Complete re-
ports were received by the state chair
man from districts in which he was
interested and all agreed that demo-
cratic success is certain.
Tremendous democratic majorities
will be given in the counties of Adams,
Stevens, Lincoln. Spokane and Whit
man." said Mr.. Goodwin yesterday.
These are the counties which l m
vestigated closest and the situation
has not been overdrawn. The sentiment
for Turner is overwhelming. and among
republican leaders there is no conf
dence in their own fight.
"Everything points to good majorities
ties, and 1 believe when the vote of
eastern Washington is analysed after
November it will be found that Tur-
ner has been given half the republican
strength, Mead's following is meagre

been most gratifying to the commit

the power to make.the assessment OF
railroad property uniform throughout
the state and the railroads would pay
the taxes thus assessed without call
ing upon other taxpayers to help them
out.
If the cocksure writer of the Ore
CONAN editorial will give a few mo-
mentS study to the law creating
Washingtons state board of equaliZa-
ton he will discover, if he has brains
enough to grease gimlet," that he has
made an ass Of himself IN his critic
ism Of Judge Turner for advocating a
railway and tax commission. A ref
erence to the republican state platform
will show him that the demand for tax
reform through commission is not
confined to the democratic party, and
that even the railroad party was forced
to make pretense of yielding to an
overwhelming public sentiment on this
question.

The interviewer. according to report,
kept insisting that his friend for whom
he wished to>purchase these outfits did
not want to do anything that was
wrong, and he then said that the
friend wished to materialize human
forms, sparks, stars, rays of light, mu-
steal Instruments, trumpet talks, slate

SHOULD CREASE IT'S GIMLET.
The OregOnian says:

Inc OregOnlan says:
The state of Washington, we are
given to understand by steadfast
thinkers like George Turner and
self sacrificing patriots like Henry
Mcbride, must have railroad
commission because it is unable
under present laws to tax railroad
property as heavily as it deserves.
The contention is false. and Tur-
ner and Mcbride know it is false.
The Washington state board of
equalization has just fixed the
classification of railroads. The
railroad men had addressed the
board asking for a rating of s73o2
per mile, but the board followed
the recommendation of the assess
ors and made it 1920 per mile.
The total valuation on railroads. as
equalized by the state board. will
approximate $27,500,0OO, which is
an increase of $4,000, 900 over last
years figures.
And yet it is speciously urged
on the stump and in the press that
there is no way to tax the rail-
roads properly except under a rail-
road commission. They who say
this are either deliberately falsify-
ing the facts as they know them.
