GREATER PROGRESS NEXT YEAR.

The year soon to close has seen
great improvements in Walla Walla,
but present indications are that still
greater progress will be made in 1905.
Already the building inspector has re-
ceived notice of building projects that
will require an outlay of over 100000
and the half has not yet been told.
The city government will keep pace
with individual enterprise by making
them will be a gravity water system
adequate for the needs of our growing
years at least, an extension of the
paved district and the completion Of
the Carnegie library.
There is good reason to believe that
within the next year use will be made
of the new power of the electric light
company to operate a trolley car sys
tenn for the city and it's suburbs.
w
United States without a street car
system and the fact is not creditable
to the enterprise Of local capitalists
But this defect will soon be remedied,
as there is no doubt that an up-to-d date
electric street car line would pay
handsomely in this prosperous COM
munity.
Altogether the outlook is bright for
the rapid advancement of Walla Walla
in every desirable way, and it will give
the Statesman pleasure to help push
the car of progress along at every op-
portunity. Above all other consider
ations this paper will place the well
fare and prosperity of this city and
its people, and to this end it will make
use of all honorable means at it's COM
mand.

to us by generations of the purest
and ablest jurists and lawyers.
THE courts not only have full power
to protect witnesses, but they can en-
force this power by fine and impris-
onment. With this power in the hands
of experienced, wise and humane
judges, what more can be desired or
devised for the protection of wit
nesses?
But it must be remembered that
cross examination is one of the most
powerful instrumentalities of the law
for eliciting truth, exposing falsehood
and promoting justice. The exper-
fenced judge will not interfere with
the cross examination unless it is OBJ
vious that it is an abuse of the priv
ilege of counsel.
There are three kinds of witnesses
whose testimony may be shaken by
REORGANIZATION. They are, first,
those who swear recklessly; second,
defiantly, and third, falsely, and here
counsel exercises the important art of
cross -examination.
This often becomes a contest be-
tween the counsel and the witness.
The witness may be Withholding part
of the truth, or telling more than the
truth, or injuriously shading or per-
verting the truth, and at such times he
is handled in such manner as causes
him to complain. But this >examina
ton is necessary, and just judge pre-
siding without fear or favor can be
trusted to restrain the overzealous or
Incorporate advocate.
The end of all judicial trials is to
attain justice, and this can only be
done by getting the whole truth. The
end of the trial is not to protect the
witnesses. Many witnesses can pro-
tect themselves. All can do this to a
great tAlelll, uleIcIy ny lclIlllS Tic
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, and this they are sworn
to do.
so, if asked, Should a witness be
badgered?' 1 answer no. If asked,
Should the power of the court to pro-
tect witnesses be extended?' 1 answer
no. it is sufficient as it is. No leg
islation can aid the subject.
Some witnesses must have the spur
and some the curb and some call for
gentle and considerate treatment. The
judge is there to protect the weak ana
to encourage the timid, and has full
power in the premises. And it is often
his duty to allow counsel great lati-
tude in handling refractory, unwilling
and dishonest witnesses.
Honorable and seasoned counsel is
not apt to transgress, and if, in the
heat of the contest, he goes too far,
there is the judge to restrain him.

Evidently the incorporated town of
Prescott needs a few peace officers of
the Jim Jeffries type to subdue the
lawless Hayes gang that broke up the
dance given by the Walla Walla band
Friday night. 1t is said that these
hoodlums have made practice of
making trouble at public gatherings
for a long time and that they have the
community so thoroughly terrorized
that no one dares to raise a hand
against them. 1t is said that music
hath power to soothe the savage
breast" but the music of the Walla
Walla band seems to have a contrary
effect on the breasts of the Prescott
savages.

The outcome of the senatorial con-
test is a puzzling problem, but if the
Statesman were to venture a guess 1t
would predict that either Sweeny or
Furth will be elected. Both are mil
lionaires and either would bid a high
price for the honor of occupying a
seat in the United States senate.
Piles, Wilson and Foster are compar-
atively poor men, and if they should
be able to Outbid Sweeny and F'urth in
the senatorial auction it would be be-
cause powerful corporations were
backing them.

BADGERING WITNESSES.

Miles Poindexter, formerly prosecut-
ing attorney of this county, who was
recently elected superior judge for
Spokane and Stevens counties, ex-
pressed himself very strongly a few
days ago in denunciation of the prac-
tice of some attorneys of badgering
witnesses. He said it was the duty
of the presiding judge to rebuke the
attorney guilty of such reprehensible
conduct.
Judge j. Z. Moore, who for two
terms served as superior judge for
Spokane county, quite agrees with
Mr.. Poindexter, but he qualities his
criticism and makes exceptions. He
says in part:
The judge presiding at a trial has
full control over the examination of
witnesses. 1t is one of the inherent
powers of the court, and it is a part
of his duty to protect witnesses against
needless. wanton and revengeful cross
examination. Such cross examination
is not only an offense against good
taste and decency, but it is an abuse
OF the privilege granted counsel for
the high purpose of eliciting truth and
promoting justice. l should regard
with serious apprehension any legisla-
i've interference with this power of
the court, which has been sanctifiel

1t is rumored that the new plant of
the Northwestern Gas & Ell ectric
Light Company is completed and ready
to hook on to the Walla Walla sys-
tenn, and that the only reason for the
the increased power is that the COM
pany may continue during the winter
months to charge it's fifteen hundred
patrons in this city excessive rates.
That the new plant is finished is indi-
Gated by the fact that the company
organized especially to construct it
has sold out all it's rights, titles and
possessions to the electric light COM
pany.

THINKS THE YIELD WILL Be SMALLER.
w. n. Babeock, the Wheat King, Talks
to Tacoma Reporter.

w. H. Babcock, the largest wheat
raiser in eastern Washington, is at
the Donnelly, says the Tacoma Ledger.
He is on his way to Spokane to attend
the annual meeting of the State Live
stock association, which will elect
delegates to the national convention.
In Mr.. Babcock's opinion, the 1904
grain crop will not be as large as the
estimates placed upon it. He does not
think the wheat yield will exceed
%, ZOO, 900 bushels.
Commenting on the scheme of State
Grain Inspector Arrasmith to secure
statistics of grain acreage and yield
each year, he said:
Il believe the idea a good one. Ac-
curate statistics such as it is proposed
to compile would prove useful to the
farmers and would be of some value
to the buyer, it seems to me. 1 think
when the farmers properly understand
the purpose for which the statistics
are required no difficulty will be ex-
periencedN in securing their hearty CO.

Look to Your Walk.

Look to your walk. 1t has more to
do with your success or failure than
you perhaps dream of. Don't SLOUGH
Don't wabble. Don't shuttle. Don't
strut. Walk like man who is deter
mined to play a mans part in life, with
head erect and feet planted firmly on
the ground.
One may see on the streets of city
every day many people who are walk
ing failures. There is not the slightest
energy in their movements. Their whole
bearing gives testimony of their weak
ness. How do we know that they are
failures? Nothing Is simpler. There is
a subtle connection between the mind
and the body. The mental attitude is
reflected in the spontaneous movements
of the body, and you can very quickly
tell by mans walk and general bear
ing whether his mind is alert, his spirit
progressive and earnest and his whole
being full of life and vigor and deter
mination or he is slipshod, lazy, life
less creature.-Success.

ed EXacting as these demands are,
they may sometimes be set aside. 1t is
the wise housekeeper who knows when
this can be done. Better q little dust
on the furniture or little comfortable
disorder in the sitting room than go to
bed with throbbing nerves or sacrifice
the coy chat with the children. There
aresome things for which absolute spick-
and-spanness does not compensate.
In sewing there are times when good
long stitch answers just as well as
many fine ones. That work Is well
done which is done according to the re-
Quirements Of the occasion.

courage, purpose and good cheer that
give life present joy as well as mean
ing. 1t is good in moments of depres-
sion or WEAKNESS that there is a path
marked out ahead each day which men
follow because it is there; that there is
time which custom has set for them to
get up to eat, to work, to rest, to read,
go to bed again. They move along the
grooves of habit and get all the benefit
OF their inheritance and their expert
ence. The general may quit the field
for time if he chooses; the army has

expected of it.-New York Mail.
