democratic legislative ticket next fall,
as it is All assured fact that the inch
nominated by the democrats will be
pledged to labor for lower freight rates
through the passage of. an appointfve
commission bill. Moreover, the demo-
cratic candidates for congress Will be
pledged to do their utmost for amend
rnent Of the interstate commerce laws
for the purpose of reducing the rates
charged by the transcontitnental rall-
ways.
II is a plain business proposition
that lower freight rates for Walla
Walla can be secured only by electlng
the right kind of men to the legislature
and to congress and the practical bust

LOWER FREIGHT RATES FOR
WALLA WALLA.

The committee appointed by the
lower freight rates for Walla Walla
has as yet accomplished nothing. This
is not to be wondered at, for the rail-
road companies cannot grant reduc-
ton of rates to this city without a re-
vision of their entire schedule. OF
to please the business men of Walla
Walla. Spokane business men for
years have been striving to secure ter
minal rates so that they might COM
pete with Seattle. Tacoma and Port
land on equal terms, but they have
gained nothing but empty promises
made to the ear to be broken to the
heart. So it will be with any effort Of
a like nature made on behalf Of Walla
Walla.
Lower freight rates can be secured
only through strengthening the powers
of the interstate commerce commits
sion by federal legislation and by the
passage Of a railway commission law
for regulating railroad rates within
the state. To promote the first no
man should be sent to represent this
state in either house Of congress who
is not thoroughly in sympathy with the
desire of the people for relief from
the extortion practiced by the great
transportation companies. That can
not be done by sending to the United
n3fjOn11
of representatives men named by the
railroad lobby. At present this state is
represented in the United States senate
by two men who owe their election to
the railroads. and Of course they will
do nothing towards reducing the pres
ent excessive freight rates from the
East to the West or vice versa by
amending the interstate commerce
laws.
To secure lower freight rates with
in the state no man should be sent K
the state senate or to the lower house
of tie legislature who is not thorough!
in sympathy with the policy advOcat
ed by Governor Mcbride for the regu
lation of the railroads. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that the Ankeny- Stew
enson organization in this county vii
name no man for either house who i
not opposed to this policy. The bust
ness men Of Walla Walla, therefore
can hope for no relief from burden
some freight rates by supporting tn
Ankeny machine. Their only hope O
relief is through the election Of tn

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP GROWTH

In an article ION the Growth of
Municipal Ownership" w. j. Bryan
writes as follows to the New York
Journal and American:
"Probably no city in the world has
extended the sphere of municipal ac-
tivity further than the metropolis OF
Scotland-Glasgow. By the courtesy
of the present lord provost, Sir James
IRE Primrose, l learned something of
the manner in which the city Of Glas-
gov is administering the work that in
most Of our American cities has been
left to private corporations. 1t goes
without saying that Glasgow owns
and operates it's water system, for that
is usually the frs public work that a
city enters upon. In this case. how
ever, the water instead of being fur
nished to the citizens at so much per
thousand gallons or at fixed hydrant
rates is paid for by tax upon the
value of the property. The city's
| water supply is brought from Lake
Katrine, forty miles away. and the
city has recently laid a second pipe
, line to the lake.
! Glasgow also owns the gas plant
and furnishes gas to consumers at
about so cents per thousand cubic
feet More recently the city has en-
tered upon the work of supplying cleo
tricity both to the city and to prl-
vate houses. The tramways. too, are
owned and operated by the municipali-
ty. The service is excellent and the fare
depends upon the. distance Travelled

CLASS LINES IN THE SCHOOLS.

Adele Marie Shaw is writing an ex-
cellent series Of articles on the Ameri-
can public schools for the Worlds
Work In the current number she
makes much of the tendency to segre-
gate the children of the rich from the
children of the poor She is speaking
of the schools about New York, but
the same evil is in evidence elsewhere.
To a large extent, of course, this seq
regation is geographical and inevitable.
Every city has its poorer and richer
quarters, and some school districts are
certain to include almost none but poor
people, while others include very few
who are not wealthy or well-to-do.
But aside from this segregation of
sne poor on account Of location there
is distinct tendency to separate rich
and poor, not by districts, but by class
and social position.' This is brought
about by special transfers from one
district to another, granted by super
intendents land by the practice Of
wealthy people of withdrawing their
children out of the schools altogether
some keep them out in the lower
grades.
Miss Shaw describes this tendency
as alarming to an outsider who loves
his country. 1t certainly is. If there
is one thing that all genuine Ameri-
cans abhor it is permanent class dis
tinctions-caste. We all know, of
course, that SO long as there are diff
ferences of wealth, education, tastes,
morals, religion and so on, there will
be different classes in this world. But
against and we hope always shall OPP
pose is the crystallization of class
lines, the pitiess decree that what
man is his son shall be.
In most of our cities, the majority
of school districts include about equal
numbers Of poor people and their mare
fortunate neighbors. AS Miss Shaw
says, IF the children of each section
were registered where they belong
there would be no school of odds and
ends"
Miss Shaw argues strongly that it IS
good for children of the rich to be
compelled to associate with the chill
dren Of the poor. On the one hand it
is unfair to the children of meager
opportunities to shut them away from
associa ton with the more refined. On
the other hand it is unfair to the chill
dren of the rich, living, as they do, in
democracy, to shut them away from
association with those who are not so
fortunate as they in home benefits
and training.
THE difficulties the child Of the
mixed school must meet and conquer

live
Do you want your boy to be a we'll
balanced, liberalminded American or
do you want him to be a snob?

CLEANING BEFORE PAVING.

The first thing that is needed to i'm
prove the streets of Walla Walla Is
TO clean them. 1t was admitted at the
meeting of the Commercial Club last
night that Main and Alder streets
have not been cleaned since President
Roosevelt was here last May. 1t is no
wonder, then, that the business streets
Formerly it was the custom to scrape
the mud off these streets and then
flush them thoroughly by turning on
a fire hose. The result was clean, hard
and dry roadways which were often
pointed to with pride as demonstrate
ing that paving was not necessary
The present disgraceful condition of
the streets is due to neglect more
than to anything else. The street COM
mittee of the council should authorize
the street commissioner to employ men
enough to keep the streets clean and
then it will be time enough to consider
whether or not paving is necessary.
Even paved streets would soon be knee
deep in mud and slime if they were not
washed and swept at frequent inter-
walls. Between a we'll kept street and
one that is left uncared for there will
always be as much difference as be-
tween the polished floors looked after
by good housewife and the pig sly
kept by a slovenly farmer.
1t is said by men who know that in
England many of the cities having the
best and cleanest streets use nothing
but macadam, but they look carefully
after the matter of sub drainage before
laying the rock and that of surface
drainage in having the street slightly
higher in the middle than at the sides.
In Walla Walla no attention whatever
apparently has been given to drainage.
Most of the streets are Of the same
grade from curb to curb and of course
there is no way for the water to run
Off 1t is left to soak in and make the
mire deeper.
II pavement were laid in the same
slipshod way that has characterized
the grading of the streets it would not
be long until it would be undermined
and ruined by the lack Of proper
drainage. 1t is plain, therefore, that
before the streets are paved they must
be cleaned and drained. Then the
property owners will have a chance to
see what foundation they have to build

A Young Tolstoyan.

VIENNA, Jan. IA remarkable IL
lustration of the influence of Tolstoy's
teaching has come to light in the case
of DR.. Geza Baer, a graduate in phil
osophy of the University of Budapest.
This Young man, on leaving the uni
versity obtained a state scholarship,
and devoted himself to the study OF So
cial questions, taking Tolstoy- as his
master. He became a vegetarian,
adopted sandals in summer and VIM
fer alike. did his own housewOrk, and
preached his masters doctrines to the
Roumanian population of Bekes- Csab
with such ardor that the authorities
finally requested him to removetto an
other scene of activity DR.. Baer, af-
ter refusing post as librarian to the
Hungarian chamber, accepted humble
position as clerk in the state railways.
"a few days ago the young clerk was
promoted, when to the amaZement OF
his superiors, he refused, urging that
the smaller salary was ample for his
wants. Such extraordinary modesty
was taken as a symptom Of OverWOrk,
and he was urged to take a monday.
This was more that the disciple OF
Tolstoy could bear. He at once re-
signed, announcing his intention TO
live henceforth by manual labor. He
ticed to a Bekes-Ssaba shoemaker
