One Of the most interesting fea-
hires Of the contest this week for
fhe Tribune's free Worlds Fair
rips is the remarkable showing that
Mss Annie PaIrott OF Eaton has
made Two weeks ago she was over
boz behind Miss Josie Brubaker and
Nearly 5000 behind Miss Edna Blunt.
ibis week she is right up with them.
Easine it anybody's race so far as
lhose three young ladies are con-
ksrned. There is also tendency on

appended in that direction. 1t is
more than probable that the last two
Oh three weeks OF the contest will see
more ne" subscribers to The Tribune

o the contest. One OF the leading
Candidates has turned in little or
hothlns but new subscribers, and has
scarcely made use OF a credit coupon

other hand, others who have been
equally successful have turned in
credits for new subscribers, for col

GOOD PRICE FOR WHEAT.

Henry Clews. the New York banker,
says of the wheat market:
Wheat has risen to an unusual hg-
ure. S1.U7. owing to reports of injury
by rust. The government report for
August 1st has been issued, indicating
a crop of COS, 1000 900 bushels and g.
564. 900. 900 bushels of corn. Some de-
terioration has taken place in wheat
since the above report, and private es-
Inmates are current fixing 1T as
low as 55O,OOO.OOO bushels. High
prices for wheat seem reasonably
certain. since q short crop and
increasing home consumption mean
less surplus for export at a time
when EurOpe's necessities are urgent,
the worlds wheat crop being anywhere
from 5O,OOO,OO to 1OOOOO,OOO bushels
less than last year. Growers, there
fore, should receive good prices on
their product in compensation for a
shortage"

THE MISSOURI REPUBLICANS

The Missouri republicans have form
y-platformally- their be-
lief that the paramount issue in that
state is the eradication of bribery from
public life" They have also constructed
a straight republican ticket. For the
governorship they have put up
against Joe Folk-a man of the name
of Walbridge, who was at one time
mayor of St. Louis. We take it for
granted that he is an upright and esti-
mable citizen.
What a proof of the sincerity of their
desire to ''eradicate bribery from pub
lie life" the Missouri republican would
have given if they had announced their
intention to vote this year for the only
living Missourian whose efforts to
bring about that very result have at
tracted national attention.
When it became evident that Joe
Folk was going to get the democratic
nomination Tor the SONernOrShlp IN
spite of the enemies he had made in his
own party. The Statesman advised the
Missouri republicans to make it unan-
imous. The same advice was given
them by intelligent republican journals
of western states-Illnos, Kansas,
Minnesota. Mr.. Folk should be elect
unite with democrats in voting for the
man who has made the splendid record
he has" said the Chicago Tribune.
The best interests of good government
in Missouri demand Folks election:
it is a question above party said the
Emporia Gazette And so on.
1t was good counsel wasted. The
republican politicians of Missouri could
see nothing in Folks nomination and
the rage of the democratic "bOodlers''
but a chance to slip into the governor
ship man of their own. The effort re-
quired to lift themselves to the level
tery beyond them. They are a pretty
dull lot-those politicians. They do
not really know enough to go indoors

OPIUM IN THE PHILIPPINES

No cutlery has been raised in this
country against the report of the COM
mittee appointed to make recommended
tons regarding the opium traffic in the
Philippines and so it is fair to pre-
sumo that it meets with approval The
committee appointed a year ago to per-
form similar service recommended
that the traffic be made government
monopoly and sold to the highest bid
der, but public criticism was so strong
that the administration was constrained
to drop the matter. The second COM
mlttee was composed of Bishop Brent
DR.. Albert and Major Carter. president
of the insular board of health. It's
members spent much time in inVesti
eating the opium question, travelling
through China, Burmah, Siam and ia
pan, and their recommendations are
therefore entitled to the profoundest
respect They follow the first commit
made government monopoly, but the
other features of their report are new.
They think that at the end of three
years the importation CT opium, ex-
cept for medicinal purposes. should be
strictly prohibited. tat smokers IL
censes should be issued only to per-
sons over twenty one. and nabitual
users of the drug, that a campaign of
education should be started in the
schools against opium, that free gov
eminent hospitals should be provided
for all opium victims, and that all Chi
nese who violate the law should be
promptly deported.
Through some such policy as this,
the committee believes, will come the
beginning of the end of the opium
curse. No question connected with
American occupation of the Philip
pines has been more difficult of solu-
ton than this one, and none has re-
ceived from American officials more
careful and thorough treatment. The
opium habit among Orientals is more
terrible thing than the drink habit
among Occidentals, and it is clear that
something besides high moralizing and
finely spun theories must be brought
to bear upon it if permanently good
results are to be secured. It is the
idea of the committee that the only
way properly to control the traffic and
rob it at once of some of it's worst
features is to make it a government
monopoly. Before the end of the three
year period they think the monopoly
will be generally Endorsed. and the
traffic be made responsive to the reg
ulations meanwhile to be put into eff
feet. If the opium habit among the
Filipinos can be eradicated as the re-
suit of American occupation. the blood
and treasure we nave poured out in the

exercise, should fate ordain him length
OF days, will be most inadequate COM
pensatiOn for the burdens which he
will be called upon to bear. His life
will be narrow. and the sun will not
often shine in his sky. Brooding care
and consuming fear will be his constant
companions, and his heart will beat to
the irregular accompaniment of dis
cord and danger.
And yet, his coming has been herald
ed throughout Russia as an event of
the highest and most joyous signifi-
canoe. Bells have been rung, Te
Deums have been sung, artillery has
been fired, the streets Of Russian cities
have been decked with flags as for
holiday, and the people look upon the
advent of the little stranger as a di-
rect manifestation of the love of God
for the Russian nation. No event
could more strkingly illustrate the
strength of Russian superstition. 1t is
direct answer to prayer, it is the full
fllment of Father Johns prophecy,
and now that Russia has a son and
heir, her people are safe and good for
tune will surely smile upon them.
Perhaps some such event as this has
been needed to divert the national
thought, temporarily at least, from
the depressing war situation. For two
weeks the Russians at home will for
get the disasters that have overtaken
their arms on land and sea mad will
give themselves over to a season of
rejoicing. out of it there may come a
revival of patriotism that will do some
thing to check defeat. Stranger
things have happened. The Russian,
with all his superstition and ignor-
ance, is a sentimentalist. If he can be
made to look upon the little babe at the
PeterhOf palace as a sign that Russia
has the approval of Heaven in the
present conflict, the character of events
in the far east may undergo a radical
change. 1t is easy to believe that the
hierarchy of the Greek church, which
has been the controlling factor in
bringing on the war with Japan. Will
be anxious to inspire some sucn belief
in the Russian mind.
Born at an intensely dramaic mo-
ment, therefore, the infant czarevitch
will from his birth be injected into the
politics of the empire. 1t is an omi-
nous beginning.

ABUSE OF BRYAN RESENTED
Walsh of Iowa Warns Parker Men ir
New York to Cease Attacks.

NEW YORK. Aug. 17-Democratic
National Committeeman Walsh of To-
wa, after a long conference with Chair
man Taggart, expressed his opinion
very fOrciby as to what he thought of
the pending campaign. He said:
There is no possible chance of Mr..
Parker's elect on without the votes of
Bryans friends, and Bryan has thou
sands of friends, in the east as we'll as
in the west Parker would come out
better on election day if he offended
the newspapers that are abusing Bryan
and lost their support.
Il want to say that some demo-
cratic newspapers in the east are
making it as hard as possible for us to
support the ticket. They are calling
us crazy BryaniteS and abusing us
daily. We just want to be allowed to
work for the democratic ticket as dem
ocrats, whether we are satisfied with

In order to make up the loss to the
county's revenues from the heavy re-
duction made in the railroad assess
ment our highly esteemed and most
worthy board of commissioners is now
busily engaged in raising the assess
ments of merchants. farmers and other
taxpayers in order to give the commits
siOners plenty of money to buy road
machinery, hay, groceries, etc. at the
high prices that must be paid when
competitive bids are not called for. The
taxpayers of the county other than the
railroads will cheerfully pay this
tribute to the railroad lobby that is so
liberal in it's distribution of free passes
and other special favors to county
commissioners, assessors, Legislators
and other public servants. Such gen
crosby deserves reward and by the
grace of the commissioners it has got
it in full measure However, the rail-
roads are asking a further reduction
and it would not be safe to bet that
they won't get what they want.

ONE THING NEEDFUL.

In City Superintendent Jones out
line of public school work for the ten
months term to begin September 9Th
no mention is made of a course in
manual training. The presumption is
that the Walla Walla schools are not to
have the advantage of this important
feature of practical, up-to-date edu-
cation and that book learning will
continue to receive the exclusive at
tention of the instructors. The failure
of the school board to adopt a course
in manual training will be a keen dis
appointment to many patrons of the
schools who are anxious to see some
thing done to hold the majority of the
boys in school beyond the fifth year.
Under the present system the girls are
in a large majority beyond the fifth
grade and the high school is composed
almost entirely of girls. In the last
graduating class of sixteen there was
cilS one bOS.
The commercial course that was
adopted last year and which is to be
extended this year will probably in
duce more boys to attend the high
school, but something is needed to
hold them in school until they are pre-
pared to enter the high school. Man
ual training introduced in the fifth or
sixth year would do much toward
arousing the interest of the boys and
keeping them in line until the COM
pletion of the common school course in
the eighth year. Then they would be
ready to take up the commercial
course. But under present conditions
the number of boys who finish the
common school course is so limited that
it offers few recruits for the high
school.
The most common complaint brought
against our public schools is that they
are not practical. They fail to train
the hand as we'll as the brain and thus
fit boys and girls for the actual duties
of life. Too many boys and girls are
made to believe that they are too smart
to work with their hands and that they
are fitted for professional careers
