Every business man engaged in
trade, in any town where a newspa-
per is published owes it to the pub
Usher, TO the community and TO him
self TO advertise IN that paper. Not
only to give it as liberal advertising
as possible but TO give it all of his
other printing of whatsoever kind
it may be. The local newspaper
does more every year toward build
ing up the town than any other one
institution in the place. It's columns
are a mirror in which is reflected
the life of the community. 1t enters
into the joys and sorrows Of the
people as no activity docs. 1t chron-
Icles the birth of its inhabitants,
rejoices with them in their hours of
JOY and good fortune, weeps with
them in their sorrow aud extends the
balm Of consolation when they are
grief-strickeD, goes with them hand
in hand through sunshine and
through shadow and when the hour
of dissolution comes, writes with
loving band the last words TO be
printed about their lives, extolIing
their virtues and draws the veil Of
charity over their shortcomings and
frailtiss. All this it does and more,
and people of every community are
derelict of their duty when they do
not lend every encouragement and
support to the local newspaper. .-Ex.

JIM HILL AS DICTATOR.

The Oregonian on Tuesday, October
IL, made this frank confession:
THE simple fact is that J. ]. Hill
controlling the railroads of the
state of Washington had deter
mined to beat Mcbride because he
was regarded as an enemy Of rail-
road business, fanatical and IRA
tional''
Jim Hill declared war upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Governor Mcbride and
George Turner because all of them
took decided stand against the leo
atty of the Northern Securities rail-
way merger. Governor Mcbride in
str"cted Attorney General Stratton to
bring suit against the merger as A yio-
iatlon of the provision of the state
constitution prohibiting the merging Of
parallel and competing lines of rail-
road. That provision was placed in
the constitution through the instru-
mentality of George Turner. AS Gov
ernor Van SAINT of Minnesota mad
brought a similar suit against the
merger. the case from this state was

TURNER FOR UNION LABOR.

A few days ago the Statesman pub
lished resolutions passed by the Spo-
kane Plumbers Union commencing
George Turner for his services as ar
bitrator in settling strike of the
plumbers several years ago. The
plumbers declare that Judge Turner
in that controversy showed himself to
be true friend of union labor and
they pledge their support to him in this
campaign. The action of the Spokane
plumbers should stamp as a base false
hood the stories being sent out by the
John l.. Wilson literary bureau de-
nouncing Turner as an enemy of I'M
ion labor. Turner will have the sup
port of a large majority of the union
labOrers of Spokane. In a straw vote
taken a few days ago at a hotel chiefly
patronized by workingmen, Turner had
ten votes to every one for Mead.

they feel that they have had enough
of Bryan.
Bryan served his first term from
1889 to 1898. 1t was under his admin
istration that the attempt was made to
buy the state board of education, of
which Bryan was member, by an
agent of the American Book Company.
Professor Leach, superintendent of
the Vancouver city schools, created
sensation by exhibiting at a meeting
of the board while the book question
was under discussion a $4,000 check
that had been given him as the price
of his vote for the books offered by
the American Book Company. He
stated that ne had been informed that
all other members of the board had
also been given checks. Immediately
superintendent Bryan, Prof. Follansbee
and all the other members of the board
denounced Leach as the only dishon-
u.
contended that his only object in ac-
cepting the check was to expose the
trust. Leach was highly respected in
Vancouver and remained in charge of
the city schools there for eight years
after the school book scandal. An
agent of the American Book Company
by the name of Edwards was indicted
for bribery in connection with the at
tempt to corrupt the board, but after
one trial had resulted in disagreement
of the jury, Edwards decamped and
the case was allowed to go by default
In consequence of this scandal
Bryan was turned down by the republi-
can state convention of 1892 and Prof
Bean of Whitman county was nominal
ed and elected instead. Bryan did
not again bob up until 1900, when he
again secured the nomination through
political deal that resulted in the
nomination of Frink for governor.
Bryan is still very friendly with the
book trust.
Bryan's opponent this year is Prof.
w. D. Gerard of Seattle, one of the
most capable and progressive educa-
tors of the state. He will have the
support of nine-tenths of the teachers
Of the state and his election is almost
certain. ~

FROM THE PTS CESSPOOL.

The Union this morning filled nearly
the whole of it's editorial page and
about two columns of its front page
with articles vilifying George Turner
taken from John l.. Wilson's Post-In
teligencer or from campaign matter
sent out by the literary bureau con-
Quoted for his personal benefit at the
expense of the republican state COM
mittee. Among these extracts are
view of 1890, when that paper was sup
porting John L. Wilson, as a candi-
nomination, and at the same time was
bitterly assailing Wilson's rival for the
nomination, George Turner. All of
this matter bears the earmarks of
John l.. Wilson and it is full of envy,
malice and venom toward Turner.
Wilson recognizes the fact that George
Turner is the ablest citizen of the
state of Washington and just as death
loves to strike at shining mark, SO
Wilson hates Turner and is seeking to
destroy him by heaping upon him ma
lignant calumny double distilled in
falsehood by unconscionable hirelings
of Wilson and the railroad lobby with
which he is allied.
The more of this slanderous stuff
that is sent out from the POst-Intelli
gencer casspool the more evident it
will become to the voters who is
stirring up all this malodorous abuse
Of Turner, and the more determined
the independent, self-respecting voters
of the state will become in their pur-
pose to administer an effective rebuke
to the gang guilty of such disreputable
campaign methods.

FRIGHT NAN FOR ATTORNEY GEN
~ ERAL.

The democratic nominee for attorney
general is c. H. Neal of Davenport,
who is now rounding out his second
term as superior judge. His opponent
is John D. Atkinson, briefess law
year and school teacher who has never
practiced law in this state and who
was admitted to practice in the SUI
preme court of the state a few days
ago merely for political reasons.
The Adams County News, republi-
can, says of Judge Neal:
Hon. G. HI. Neal, honest lawyer,
able jurist, and eminently qualified
gentleman, who has been nominated
for the high office of attorney general,
is worthy of election, and while diff
fering politically with Mr.. Neal, we
would be pleased to see the trust pass
to such safe and capable hands. With
us, when men of the stamp and integ-
rity of Judge Neal, whom we have
known we'll for many years are named
for public positions, we rise above
party lines, and heartily support a de-
serving and capable man, whom in our
Judgment would ever faithfully serve
his constituency.
I'm duty bound we feel justified in
speaking favorably of him, when, we
who have known him longest and best
can do SO without any mental reser-
walton. The safe guards of the country
and nation can only be preserved by
choosing the right man.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-11-04

not prosecuted. Largely through the
solicitation Of Senator Turner, Presi-
dent Roosevelt instructed Attorney
General Knox to bring suit against
the Hill Hartman merger under the
provisions of the Sherman antitrust
law. Turner prepared an exhaustive
brief on the case for the assistance of
Knox and he also wrote an open letter
to Governor Rogers, showing the legal
rights Of the state in dealing with the
merger. Therefore, Hill is the avowed
enemy of George Turner as he is of
Governor Mcbride and President
Roosevelt.
In Minnesota Hill is making the
same fight he is making in this state.
Judge Collins, who stood with Govern
or Van SAINT against the merger, was
| defeated for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton by fraudulent methods through
Hills influence and a corporation tool
by the name of Dunn was named for
governor. AS a result one hundred re-
publican newspapers of the state and
thousands of self-respecting republic
can voters have repudiated the rail-
road ticket and are openly supporting
Johnson, the democratic nominee, who
stands on the Van SAINT platform.
In this state Hill encompassed the
defeat of Governor Mcbride in the
Tacoma convention and secured the
nomination of a hypnotic subject in the
person of Albert E. Mead of Belling
ham. Just as in Minnesota, many re-
publican newspapers and thousands Of
self-respecting republican voters have
refused to put on the railroad collar
and have declared their intention to
support George Turner for governor
and to elect a legislature that will give
the people an effective, regulative rail-
way and tax commission. Even the
republican machine leaders admit that
Mead will run many thousands of
that the latters majority will be so
overwhelming that Mead may be able
to pull through on the tail of the
Roosevelt train. However, present in
dications are that the Mead narrow
guaged attachment will fly the track
while the Roosevelt electoral ticket will
ride on to assured victory in this state.
J. D. Farrell, Samuel Hill, Charley
Chamberlain and other henchmen and
hirelings of Hill are doing their worst
to browbeat the republican voters Of
this state into support of the lobby
ticket, and there is no doubt that many
thousands of dollars will be used in
the attempt to buy the election for
Mead, but the decent people of the
state are thoroughly aroused to the
dangers and disgrace Of corporate rule,
and, unless all signs fail, they will give
Jim Hill and his gang their quietus
as dictators in the politics Of this COM
monwealth at next Tuesdays election.

THEY STAND FOR THE LOBBY.

The lobby combination which
downed Mcbride and the railroad
commission plank is the combination
which nominated Mr.. Mead and the
other candidates on the republican
state ticket. The candidates on the
republican county ticket are openly
supporting the lobby state ticket and
thereby giving their support to lobby
rule and lobby methods. They are
therefore not entitled to the votes of
the honest supporters of the commits
sion principle who want to free their
party in the state and county from
railroad domination.

1t is generally believed that Jim Hill

and in fighting George Turner with
such venom, malignity and despera-

but a small figure if it will open the
way for a larger business said sue
cessful retailer in a New York state
town, speaking recently on the ques-
ton of store advertising.
1t strikes the Statesman that this
retailers ideas on looking at the eX-
penditure of money for advertising
purposes are about correct. There
must be a venture in advertising if
anything is to be won. The enterprise
ing business man knows that this is
so and in proportion to the size of his
business he is continuously following
up some sort of advertising campaign
and he knows from experience good
returns can always be had from the
right kind of newspaper advertising.
Today there is little hope for the re-
taller who allows himself to get into a
nut and conducts his business in such
a way that he is cocksure that there
is no kind of advertising that can
help him. Under modern conditions his
prospects for making any kind of sue
cess are almost nil.
