EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks OF IL, but Relies on the
Strength of Ts I'm any.
Jndge Parker saws this:

Judge Parker says this:
Whenever a great question Of public
importance has arisen. IL has been pre-
sented and championed through the press
and on the rostrum by the educated
thinkers of the country. who, for the
time being are the real leaders, and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be oyerthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
is true and right and sensible But
what, after the expression of such an
opinion. is Judge Parker's course: 1t is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af-
fairs of the country. But what is Judge
Parker doing? Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State OF New York: one OF the States.
the influence OF whose electoral votes Is
great in the results Of the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon an un-Amer-
lean combination known as Tammany
Hall. 1t is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid of this most cor
rupt organization. in the greatest city
of the country--an organization that has
simply become an enormous tester upon
the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all exigencies, by the
Democratic party, which, to the credit OF
that party, is little above Tammany.
How ridiculous, under the circum-
stances, is the attitude Of the more or
less qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
pus, Think OF man who even talks
Of the influence OF the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success. in the
State OF New York. upon a conglomera-
ton of the most uneducated and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making Of a political pool in q great
city. 1t is hard to say it, but Mr.. Park
er cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
educated influence back of him, or about
all that Is good and broad and culti-
waited back Of him because, without
Tammany back OF him in his own State.
he has not the shadow OF a hope, and
Tammany is the worst force there is
politically discredit to the country.

An Untrfed Man, or One Who Has
Made "a Good Record.

Made Good Record.
The good results Of the affairs Of a
nation depend almost absolutely upon
its relations with other nations. There
is, under the present condition of thought
and affairs. an advancement in the
world-a community Of nations. The
one among those nations which exhibits
the greatest honesty and tact and com
mon sense. is the nation which will
be to the fore.
Under the administration Of the party
that is now controlling the affairs Of
the United States has occurred such ex-
traordinary diplomatic success as has
perhaps never been excelled by any ma
ton at any time. This success has nc-
crued because OF the tact and sense Of
the present President OF the United
States, assisted by his Secretary OF
State. The record has been something
extraordinary, and all the civilized world
has recognized it.
Tact and sense are just as much a
requisite in the conduct of the affairs
of a nation as they are in the affairs
of a corporation or an individual. We
reward those who exhibit tact and sense
by continuing them in place, for our
own benefit. The conclusion need hardly
be expressed. Any American citizen of
intelligence will know whom to vote for
this fall

the members of the commission to be
a most important feature and one
which will do away with certain I'M
satisfactory conditions which exist un-
der the irrigation laws in Southern
California. where the irrigation tri-
bunal has the final say. When the de-
cision of that body is unsatisfactory
the only recourse is an injunction from
the court, which leaves the farmer and
the company as far apart as at first.
and nothing is accomplished.
When the bill is submitted to the
legislature a seperate section will ac-
company it, which may be attached
if the legislature decides to make the
law applicable to the arid lands of
t.le state only. AS it is now framed
the code controls the waters of the
western as well as the eastern por
tons of the state.

PALOUSE RIVER PROJECT
ENGINEER NOBLE GOES TO
WASHINGTON TO CONFER
WITH OFFICIALS.
O. r. & NJ. Offers to Surrender Pos.
session Of the CouIee for Two
Hundred Thousand.

T. A. Noble, the resident engineer of
the United States geological survey
who has prepared the plans for the Pa
louise irrigation project, has been call
ed to Washington, D. c., to be present
at the negotiations between the gov
eminent and the o. r. & N. on the
Washtucna coulee proposition. The
railroad has submitted a proposition
to the government to surrender pos
session of the coulee for approximately
100000 so that it can be used as a
reservoir for irrigating about $4,000
acres. Mr.. Noble will leave for the
east December %.
The building of the proposed irriga-
ton system is part of the work de-
signed by the reclamation act and the
secretary of the interior has already
set aside s1,0OO,OOO for the scheme. AS
the scheme was outlined the coulee
was the key to the situation for the
storage of water. The o. r. & N. had
track down the coulee to Cornell 10
years ago and ceased to operate it for
several years. Early last spring the
company suddenly revived interest in
the line and reconstructed the track
into Council in a few weeks
BY using the old right of way again
the proposed scheme was effectualfy
blocked and has hung since pending
negotiations to have the tracks re-
of the coulee.

damages to the amount of $4,000
Drought by one of the fair readers in
Judge Frosts court.
Mrs. Kristine Duck, 754 Western
avenue, is the woman who declares the
printed article was intended solely for
ner instead of general reprimand to
her sister readers, and she insists that
Elder Botker shall reimburse her for
ner alleged wounded feelings.
Although the article which the
piaintiff asserts libeled her and caused
ner disgrace among her neighbors
does not mention her name, but
speaks generally of woman on West
ern avenue who had a good husband.
Mrs. Duck ayers that she not only fits
the elusive description, but that Bot
ker had her in his. minds eye when he
printed the article which appeared in
the issue of July 5, 1902, over sigma
ture of Several Residents"
The portion of the article to which
Mrs. Duck most greatly objects is as
follows:
III is certainly nice where a woman
has nothing to do but sit in the win
dow all day long, spying on the doings
and ways of her neighbors, but it be-
comes a nuisance when that same good
wife thereafter runs about and black
mails respectable people by telling
every possible scandalous. falsehood
about them.
Such behavior has been shown
during the past half year by certain
woman on Western avenue, and it is
only for the sake of her respectable
husband that the name is omitted in
little insertion, as he, in all probability,
is unaware of the exploits of his bet
terhalf'
When this article appeared Editor
Botker asserted it applied to any fem
mime reader who felt the shoe pinch.
but he is now willing to admit it is an
extremely close fit for Mrs Duck,
judging from his pleas in the case on
trial.
Mrs. Duck is also suing Fred A. Sip
pei, Henry Sippel, and August Peter
sen with Mr.. Botker, holding them re-
sponsible for the alleged libelous arti-
cles.
