IF ALL COULD BE TOLD"


Of poignant interest. apropos of the
general topic of national, or federal
corruption, is the letter of the convict
ed Senator Burton, in which he re-
marks mysteriously to a friend that
he is innocent, but that 'if all could
be told just as it is, the absolute truth
it would appall the world
L can wait" he says, and will wait
till the time comes for me to speak
The country would be glad if he would
speak soon. The people stand in neet
of full disclosures of corruption. The
public ear is straining for information
which will lead to the overthrow of the
perniciOus system which has demon.
strated it's hold upon the administra
tive branch of government and it's in
fiuence upon the legislative.
Senator Burton cannot hope to clea1
his reputation through any sort of rev.
Citations. Even should his conviction
be reversed. he will stand before the
country disgraced by his acts Showing
a deplorable moral standard as a ma.
| tional legislator. But he may to som.
extent purge himself by telling all hi
knows.

A GOLD BRICK GAME.

The railroad lobby throughout east
ern Washington is using the elective
commission dodge for all it is worth
and a great deal more in hoodwink-
ing republican farmers who have
formed the opinion that some kind of
q railway commission is necessary to
protect them from eXtortionate rates
and unjust determinations No mat
ter how strongly the republican plat
form may declare in favor of an elect
i've railway commission or any other
kind it will be only as sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal, as republican
legislators do not regard their party
platform as meaning anything after
election. No commission plank could
have been made stronger than that
of the republican state platform OF
1902, but after the republicans ha6
elected an overwhelming majority OF
both houses of the legisla ture the COM
mission plank was treated as so muct

fPILEs FIGHTS FOR HUMPHREY
Seattle Congressman Will Get Support
Of Senatorial Candidate.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 12.-Samu
ell H. Piles and his King county fol-
lowers will seek to return Will E.
Humphrey to congress. This an
nouncement is made at the Piles head
quarters, in response to the persistent
rumor that Mr.. Humphrey would be
thrown down in favor of Frank H
Brownell of Snohomish county.
Matters were brought to a crisis
several days ago, when A. B. Stewart
of this city received a letter from Con-
gresham Humphrey in which he said:
Il understand from several friends
in Everett that Mr.. Brownell is de-
claring he will receive the support OF
the Piles delegation for my seat in
congress.
Mr.. Stewart, who is a warm person
al friend and adviser of Mr.. Hum
phrey and who is interested in secu-
ring the reappointment of his brother
as postmaster, waited upon the Piles
campaign managers and laid the mat
ter before them. He insisted upon
a definite reply to the question wheth-
er they intended to support man out
side the county. The result of that
conference was satisfactory to Mr.
Stewart.
No man connected with the Piles
organization would consider anything
that would lend to the defeat of Mr..
Humphrey for denomination" says
Mr.. Humphrey yesterday. I'VE have

tor, but we would not sacrifice our

A GOOD START.

Alder Streets says that the paved dis

tween PalOuse street and Sixth. How.

to issue bonds for the improvement

The Statesman does not understan,
why the district to be paved has beef
confined to such narrow limits 1t be
lieves with Mr. Betz that the dis
trict should extend from Palouse t.
Sixth street, thus covering almost tn
entire business district. However,
little paving is better than none at al
and if the improvement is once begun
it is not likely to stop until all tn

"hot air." having no weight in COM
harrison with the allurements held out
by the lobby and its candidate for the
United States senate.
In all probability a pledge to give
the state an elective commission
would be ignored after the next cleo
ton. lust as the promise to give the
people an appointive commission was
broken after the last election, but
even if an elective commission were
created it would be made farce
through the manipulation of the rail-
road lobby. The railroads would take
care that only pliable or corrupt men
were nominated for railroad commits
sioners and this could be easily done
through the combinations and trades
that are made at every state conven-
ton. The office of railroad commits
sioner would be regarded as only OF
minor importance and the railroads
could easily secure the privilege of
naming all the commissioners by maxi
ing concessions to the supporters of
candidates for governor, congress and
other important offices.
To make a success of a railway
commission it should be composed
only of able, fearless, yet fair and
conservative men from the beginning
Such men are more likely to be Sc
lected by an honest governor than
through the grab-bag methods of
political convention. After the COM
mission has been successfully inaugu-
rated and the people have learned to
appreciate it's value and Importance, it
might be we'll enough to change to the
elective plan, as the people would then
insist upon the nomination of cap
able and upright men for commits
sioners. To start with an elective
commission under present political
conditions in this state would be to
play into the hands of the railroad
lobby in making the commission such
L farce and failure that the people
would soon demand it's adjustment as
1 useless burden and expense. The
very fact that every railroad organ in
the state has recently become a con-
.ert to the elective commission plan,
ihould be enough to open the eyes OF
he farmers and other shippers of the
state to the gold brick game that the
obby is endeavoring to play on them.

THE HARTMAN SUIT.


The most interesting development
in connection with the dissolution of
the Northern Securities company is
the Hartman suit to compel the re-
turn of Northern Pacific stock for
Northern Securities interests held by
the Hartman people instead of a
proper proportion of the stocks in
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern
and Burlington. BY his holdings Of
common and preferred, Mr.. Hartman
had. control of the Northern Pacific,
as the result of the great stock deal
was preferred, and under the law the
common stock was able to retire the
preferred. The effect of this was to
rob Mr.. Hartman of the control of
the Northern Pacific. If, in the dis
tribution of the Northern Securities
stock, the court should allow him to
demand for his original interest in
Northern Pacific, put into the merger,
Northern Pacific common stock, he
would have control of that road.
This is pointed out by merger news
papers and others as a deplorable re-
suit of the dissolution of the North
ern Securities company, and a reason
why that organization should have
been allowed to continue. Mr.. Harri-
man, it is assumed, would Immediately
proceed to divert business from the
Northern Pacific to other lines where
it is claimed his interests are larger.
We confess an inability to appreciate
fully all the alleged dire possibilities,
to say nothing of the prOba abilities, Of
such a course. The Northern Pa
cific was a pretty good road for the
northwest before Mr.. Hill came in
control Of it, and as competitor with
his line why should it not continue
to be a useful institution? 1t is too
good piece of property for Mr.. Hor-
riman to throw away, and we are in
clned to think that whatever loss of
through business. if any, it may suffer
as the result of Hartman control will
be offset So far as the public interest
is concerned by the competition which
would naturally follow between Mr..
Harriman's Northern Pacific and Mr..
Hills Great Northern, not only on To-
cal but on through business.
Much is made, also, of the enor-
nous proportions of the Hartman
syndicate, with it's control over Union
Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Southern
Pacific and other roads. 1t seems
hardly consistent, however, for advo-
Gates of railroad combination to take
exceptions to the size of Mr.. Harri-
mans combination, since it is quite
universally agreed that the natural
and logical outcome of the merger
policy would have been the concen-
tration of control of practically the
entir transportation system of the
country in one great merger. People
who can view such a possibility with
equanimity are hardly entitled to any
apprehension over the size of the Har-
riman combination.
This combination, however, may be
the source of well-founded apprehen-
sion as are all great combnat tons of
this character Certainly the larger
they become and the more the COM
merce of the. country is centered in
the control Of one man, or one group
of men the nearer we get to the ques-
ton of governmental control, if not
of government ownership, of all rail-
road transportation.

SECRETARY ROOTS STATEMENT

In view Of the sensational rumOrs that have been persistently circulated as to the prospects of war with Gel ombia, the statement made public by Secretary Root is quite important. IL entirely disposes of the more or less prevalent assumption that war is eX- pected, and that active preparations are being made for it. The vessels and marines in Caribbean waters have been SO disposed as to afford proper prOtec- ti-n to American and Panama inter csts in case of hostilitiss, but this ac- ton has been merely prudential. Th2 secretary of war makes the positive ste teIuent that no preparations are b. ing made to send troops to the Isthmus.
 Indeed, it would seem fair to suppose that the greatest danger Of an attack on Panama already has passed. Al though Colombian troops have been assembled, and scouting parties are making progress along the Panama border, the presumption must be that the longer the situation is considered the less liklihood there is of war. When the people of Colombia once learn that Certian things are irrevoC- ably fixed, and that fighting would be merely waste of blood and treasure fer a gain of nothing of a substantial CT even sentimental character, they will be less disposed to be aggressive. On the other hand, the Washington government has taken pains to show its readiness and desire to assist in the equitable adjustment Of terms and re- lations between Colombia and Panama. As Secretary Root says, it would seem irrational that Colombia should delib- erately make it impossible Tor this country thus to extend and continue it's invaluable services.
 War with CoIcmbia would be great Iy deplored, and most of all by the United States: but if it should be ne- cessary, it will, Of course, be carried forward with great discrimination in Crder that it might be short and de- City Star.

The Awakening of Asia.

A contributor to the New York Sun in very interesting article points out what has escaped most editorial writ era on the far eastern question, that the ether nations of Europe other than Russia. and particularly Great Brit ain. have a special reason for desir- Ing a prevalence of peace between Russia and Japan. Russian aggression. following her success in a war with Japan, would be in itself sufficiently menacing to those nations which have obtained footholds in Asia, but Japan ese success would be still more me- nacing in it's effect upon the who'll people of that grand division. Says he:
 There is one thing that stands cut clearly from among the contradictions of the news from all quarters regard ing the Russo-Japanese imbroglio; that IS, the incI casing anxiety of England and France to avert an outbreak of hostilities. Both have good reasons why they should exert all their influ- ence in that direction, and so has the rest of Europe. The matter is no longer one between Russia and Japan. but has almost assumed the aspect of Asia versus Europe, with a consequent obligation on the part of Europe, and especially of thoSe European powers ruling large Asiatic populations, to adapt their policies to the new con- ditions.
 There is really nothing more re- markabl2 than the extraordinary and eager interest that every mail from diff ferent parts of Asia shows is being felt throughout the great continent
