The sudden illness of Superintendent
Warner Stutler caused a postponement of
the hearing of additional testimony relative
to the charges against Mr.. Stutler, which
had been set for this morning at 1920

indefinitely postponed until such time as
Mr.. Stutler is able to attend. 1t is thought
probable, however, that the inquiry can be
proceeded with by the latter part of next
week.
Mr.. Stutler late yesterday evening. was
obliged to leave his Office at the District
building and go to his home where he i'm

Wherever locomotives puff and steam

who employ it careless of publicity.

Of similar bold indifference 10 law

The kernel of the matter is that
the statutes prohibiting acts in re-

it is true. as the Union says. that the

OF TRUST MOVEMENT

In his review of the financial record
of 1903 Henry Clews asserts the most
conspicuous feature of the year was
the elimination and collapse of the
great trust movement which began five
or six years ago. His description of
the rise and fall of the movement is
vivid and instructive. The country,
mad; both capital and labor emulatmg

Coordination and monopoly. All cOnse-
quences were blindly disregarded; only
the advantages of combination receiV-
ing any serious attention, and no re-
gard whatever was paid to the work.
ings of these huge combinations.
Whoever pointed out the inherent de-
fects, their defiance of natural econo-
mic laws, their ineradicable OppOsl-
ton to human nature, their sOcialistic
tendencies, their opposition to indi-
viduality, their inability to suppress
mpetition-whOever was bold enough
10 oppose these tendencies on such
grounds was swept aside with con-
tempt and Indifference. This phase of
the movement, however, was by no
means the end of the trust mania. 1t
received an enormous stimulus from
Wall street. where the clever promoter
quickly discovered in the increased
profits and power of these combines

| heavy to seriously cripple many rich
men whose fortunes had been locked

losses, bringing the country to the

CARROLL WRIGHT'S STATEMENT


The new year statement of Carroll
D. Wright. commissioner of labor, was
marked by healthy optimism which
should be caught UP by every employ
er and labor leader in the country.
He said: The real fact is that for
every occurrence known as a strike or
lockout there are hundreds and per
haps thousands of eases of quiet
peaceful. reasonable adjustments of
difficulties. the conditions surrounding
which might have led to a strike with
as much reason as produced the
strikes that are announced.'
No doubt exists as to the increasing
number of settlements through nego-
tiation.
Employer and employe are beginning
to realize that each may easily be on
the wrong side Of a debated question
and are becoming much more conser-
vative in their demands upon each
other. They are beginning to con-
slider too, that a third party, the pub
lie, often has very tangible rights in
the issues which arise.
No ground exists for believing any
thing but that the trend of events is
toward justice and the equitable set

President Roosevelt was no doubt
highly gratified to receive the assur-
ance from the club of Holy Rollers
at Walla Walla that through their
prowess they would be able to carry
Walla Walla county, the state and the
nation for him next November. AS the
republican majority for Cushman in
this county in 1902 was only one thou

indeed remarkable if Roosevelt should
be able to carry it. But it is well
enough to jolly up the president in

President Allen II. Reynolds and

the resolutions which were ordered
prepared at the last meeting of the
association, which protest against the
division of the state into two federal

forwarded to the Washington delega-
ton in congress and the judiciary
committees in both houses The reso-
lutions follow:
Whereas. the population of the
state of Washington has increased to
such an extent as to make it both nee
esSary and desirable that the state be
divided into two federal judicial dis
tricts, and
Whereas. it has come to our knowl-
edge that an attempt is being made to
create a northern and southern dis
trict by an imaginary line that shall
cut the state from west to east be-
tween the cities of Seattle and Ia
coma, each district being 500 miles
long and only 100 miles wide, and
Whereas, Nature has divided the
state into two natural divisions by the
upheaval of the great Cascade range
of mountains which extends from the
Columbia river on the south to the in
ternatiOnal boundary on the north and

Washington territory recognized this
