Success--theres nothing like il.
It's winning of the game.
A toast TO the man who shows that he can
Do something worthy the name.
As half in shade, and half in sun,
This world along its path advances
Oh! may that side the sun shines on
Be all that ever meets thy glances!
Here's a health TO thee and thine,
Not forgetting me and mine;
And when thee and thine
Come to see me and mine,
May me and mine make thee and thine
As welcome as thee and thine
Have ever made me and mine.

COUNCIL HAS, DECIDED THAT
TWO STREETS MUST BE I'M
PROVED AT ONCE.
Property Owners Will Not
Be Heeded-Either Oil or Some
Other Substance.

1.-THE time has come when something
must be done toward improving Fourth
and Elm streets from Main to the o.
r. & N. depot" declared a member of
the city council this afternoon. Re
monstrances or no circumstances, the
council has decided to pave the two
streets either with oil or some other
substance and few protesting prop
erty owners cannot hope to stay the
onward march of improvement. Elm
and Fourth streets are used more than
any other two streets in Walla Walla
aside from Main and Alder within the
business district, and in consequence
they are in a constant bad state of re-
pair. The city has spent all the money
it intends to in keeping the streets up
and it is now up to the property own
ers to decide what they want to pave
with. The streets can be paved with
oil for 81 front foot and the COM
pany guarantees the work for three
years. 1t matters not what the streets
are paved with, but the council has
decided to improve these thoroughfares
and that Immediately.

PRINCIPLE OF PUBLIC CONDUCT

Conduct is the great and all-im-
portant topic of the hour. Among 9TH
ers, the distinguished kinsman of Ma
poleon in the cabinet in doing some
addressing the International Chris
tian Endeavor Convention in Balti-
Purity in Politics and Christianity
Mr.. Bonaparte declared:
THE underlying evil in the admin
istration of our public affairs is SIM
ply dishonesty. Our public Offices are
too often held by dishonest men, too
often used for dishonest ends.''
OF course he Immediately made a
polite qualification to exempt, say, the
nine heads of the cabinet departments
and a few others close to the throne
but even in so doing he inserted a
pertinent and suggestive criticism
which, although he certainly did not
so intend, has an almost painful appli-
cation to the late predicament of the
very chief of the whole service. He
said that while the great bulk of pub
lie servants wish and intend to do their
duty, nevertheless "a grave and mis-
chievous, though very common, con-
fusion of ideas as to what is their du-
ty makes the best of them sometimes
fall"
Who is 1.-The best of Them and does
he not sometimes fall? 1t is no:
very difficult to read into Mr.. Bona
parties language the idea, which he
its utterance, that too many well-in-
tentiOned officials ignore the Constitu-
ton or laws, as the case may be, as
between friends. What he says un-
doubtedly suggests the president
failures in the Wood, Morton and
Loomis affairs.
The dishonesty which Mr.. Bonaparte
seems to be driving at ranges from in
territorial and deliberate venality
aginst the public interest in the cause
of politics or personal friendship, and
aside from all applications to concrete
examples, is collectively condemned
and properly. There cannot be any
real distinction between one and an
other kind of failures of responsibility
| to the great public. The individual
reasons which account for official re-
| misSneSS are of no concern to the pub
! lie. They should not be taken into
| account. The fact of Importance is
! trust. Whether it is a president who
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-07-21

has forsaken the public cause through
motives of friendship, or a governor
who has failed to enforce the law, as
they do in many cases, for political
reasons, or legislator who assepts a
bride, the violation is the same; the
oath and the moral obligation have
alike been broken; and the publis in
terest has suffered identically. The
only discrimination is as to the ex-
tent of the damage inflicted. There
is no difference which the public can
afford to recognize in the kind of Of
Tense. Public Office should be a public
trust in deed a sacred trust, AMI the
only distinction which the public
should make between the violations
thereof should be between degrees of
treason-all the violators should be
held traitors, as in morals and logic
they are.
The discussion of the moral princi-
pie involved, to which many men are
contributing in an interesting way
just now, is good for the times. 1t
tends to dispel the confusion of ideas
which now and then vaguely threatens
to obscure the right.

RAILROAD MEN DISCHARGED.
Found Frequenting Drinking ane
Gambling Dens.

PENDLETON, July 21.-That rail-
road companies are decidedly opposed
to gambling and nabitual drinking has
been brought to the mind of several
o. r. & N. employees at La Grande
within the past two weeks.
Because they spent their time while
in the city in the private gambling
joints, hidden away from the reach
of the police and could not be found
by call boys when needed to go out
On their runs, two prominent engineers
were summarily discharged, although
one of them was an old man in the
service and about in line for a passen-
ser rum
For the past 10 years the company
has been wedding out gambling and
drinking from the service and now it
is almost totally unknown among the
more reputable class of employees. If
men drink or frequent saloons or en-
gage in gambling hatitually they will
soon be dropped from the service, thus
proving the justice of the claim that
the gambling and drinking habits are
recognized as the most dangerous of
practices known to the big corpora
tons.

s. FEARS THE JAPANESE.

I'VE are being made fools of by the
widest, most arrogant people of mod
ern times solemnly declares Doctor
Robert S. Asnmead, formerly foreign
director of the Toxic hospital, Japan.
The statement is startling.
A people who can produce a Togo,
have agreed, a great people, and we
have been inclined and are still in
clined to so regard them in all ma
tional respects. It is our custom-and
it is human nature, doubtless-to in
vest those whom we may admire in
some one respect with admirable
qualities in all respects. The small
Japanese nation, engaged in conflict
with the great Russian nation, early
won our sympathies, and the steady
success of the former has excited our
admiration, as their valor and devo-
ton have aroused our enthusiasm.
For year our press and our people
have been active in praise of the Jap
anese training, the japanese home life
and the general Japanese method Of
doing things.
Doctor Ashmead, however forcibly
insists that we are making a big mis-
take. the japanese, for our own
good says he, should be neither ov-
erestimated nor undervalued by us.
am not ro-Russian-I am simply
American; but I am one of those
Americans who, having lived among
this savage, heather race, nave read
the highfalutin, enthusiastic admira-
ton of them, now so common, with
irritation if not pain. We are making
fools Of ourselves, or, rather, we are
being made fools Of The
question of the hour is, not what we
think of the Japanese, but what the
japanese really think of u.s.

Something new in local meat market

Speaking to a reporter regarding hts
taking over of the Idaho Market Mr..
Harras said:
1T is volume of business that counts

same as in other lines, and having an
opportunity to buy the business and

patrons of both places can rely upon
getting a service that will be second

Il don't expect the conducting OF
both markets will be task in anyway

LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Governor Folk of Missouri says in
the Independent:
In the state of Missouri We have
now in operation what is called the
Missouri idea-the idea that public
officials should answer at the bar of
public opinion for all official acts
that the man who in his official life
betrays his people is a criminal, and
that laws are put upon the statute
books to be observed, not to be ig-
nored.
In proportion as the average moral
extent is the State great, and good
government reigns. Laws that are
put on the statute books must be put
there for some purpose. Laws that
are not enforced add just as much to
good government as sores do to the
strength of the human body.
Many men observe those laws
which they like and disregard those
laws which are obnoxious to them.
The trust magnate looks with abhor-
renee on the pickpocket VINO violates
the larceny statute, but thinks that he
himself has a perfect right to break
the laws aginst combinations and
monopolies. The burglar detests the
law breaking of the trusts, but thinks
the laws against combinations and
just and unfair. The boodler consid
ers the law against bribery as an in
reference with his personal rights,
but he demands the rigid enforcement
of the law against the man that steals
his property. The dramshop keeper
thinks that the law against murder
is a good law, but the law requiring
his dramshop to close on Sunday is
Puritanical and tryannical and a blue
law. 1t has been my experience that
any law looks blue to a man who
wants to break it,

A PENITENTIARY MATRON.

The Seattle Post-Irte!ligencer says:
1.-The public will be surprised TO
learn that a matron is to be appointed
to have charge of all female prisoners
at the state penitentiary.
1.-The surprise is that there has not
always been a matron there, that the
necessity was never apparent to the
state officials until the subject is made
public by Gov. Mead's announcement.
He is to be commended for being so
prompt to remedy a serious defect in
the conduct of the state penal insti-
tuition.
ITO place women convicts under the
watch and care of a turnkey of the
other sex is barbarous. 1t is mon
strous and indecent. The knowledge
that this has been the custom is
shocking to the public mind
THE governor has done a humane
and thoroughly sensible thing in MAX
ing a cnange OF administrative pollcy
at the penitentiary regarding female
prisoners. In providing that they
shall be put to work sewing for other
state institutions ne has rid the lives
of these unfortunates of the baneful
harm of idleness and has declared for
a policy in harmony with economy in
the conduct of state affairs
