A Lengthy Stroll.

Two men came into town afoot on
Thursday afternoon and took the
train for Ritzville. They stated that
they left Ritzville afoot and walked
across the country to Downs. They
went from there to Wilson Creek on
the train. Wednesday morning they
walked from Wilson Greek to Wheeler
and the next day they came from
Wheeler to Lind. They said they
started out to see the country with a
view to purchasing land.-Lind

The medical profession is quite sur
gically inclined at the present time.
The knife is not rusty. 1t comes into
frequent use, to the advantage Of SUI
fering and the glory of the healing
art. So it is with great measures, i'm.
portant to the race, necessary to hui
man freedom and the moral health of
nations. Reform has always been as
sociated with measures heroic. Many
times, in the strange story Of earth,
has bad government bsen drowned
in blood aud a new and more promis-
ing dynasty gained the throne wound
ed and dripping gore. This was 80
when the ancient empires rose and
fell. 1t has been so through more
modern history. Europe emerged
from the dark ages in blood and tears
The fantastic habit of chivalry was
set aside amid the shedding Of blood,
even though blood had been poured
out already in seas at tournaments.
France gained absolution for the sins
of many Louis and his kin through
awful revolution. Our own fathers
fought for their liberties and America
today enjoys a generous freedom
bought through suffering and death.
Now comes Russia, land OF horror.
Even nature. always impartial, has
decreed frost and sleet and winter for
the great white barrens of that
home Of dsspotism. But St. Peters
burg sees death and murder in her
streets. Warsaw and Moscow are the
scenes OF horror, and their CUTTERS are
red with peasant blood. Must Russia
find deliverance through wounds and
blood and death As others have done
who have climbed the heights OF free
dom before her? 1t seems unnecessary.
The age should be too enlightened 70
countenance such course. The will
of the people should be an unanswer-
able plea in civilizations appellate
courts. But if freedom comes 70
Russia, even in this way, it will be
worth the price.

The national legislature has passed
bill giving to the Interstate Com
MERGE commission the power to fx
and regulate freight and passenger
rates. Last week a committee from
the Spokane Chamber OF Commerce
had an audience with President Roose-
welt and poured a tale of woe into his
ear concerning discrimination which
was being practiced against the city
by the falls. OF course nothing defin-
lite has been given out, but it looks a.
if state railroad commission would
be a useless matter in face OF the 40
tions coming from the national city.
That the railroads will receive some
strong curbing from that source is ap.
parent. President Roosevelt, who
uses his authority with an iron hand,
and is not swerved from his purpose,
has the beef trust corralled, and from
reports will soon have the railroads in
his game bag.

The tide is turning everywhere in

is given, feels that the public will
get an entertainment of real merit.
Very seldom, in a town Of this size,
is anything as elaborate attempted.
However, it is only in keeping with
the program to have none but the best,
and though some of the entertain
ments have made no money this year,
the pupils lay that to lack Of advsr.
tising and are confidently looking to
the town to turn out and give "Pris-

q general debate IN which W pnaZes
Of the controversy were exploited.
( A separate bill regulating the is-
suance Of bonds for the canal and
placing them on the same basis as
other government bonds, was passed
without debate. +.
The Republican members of the
House, in caucus Monday unanimous
" declared in favor Of admitting Ok
lahoma and the Indian Territory as
one State and by vote of ITO to 60
declared in favor Of admitting ArizO-
ma and New Mexico as one State. Both
Statehood questions are to be con-
tanned in one bill. The only opposi-
tion to the program was directed
against joining Arizona and New Mex
leo.
Debate on the recommendation in
the Presidents annual message re-
earding insurance regulation occupied
the House again Thursday without a
break.
The House then adjourned.
The Panama Canal was again un-
der consideration by the Senate FRI
day and Mr.. TiRman occupied the
entire time given to that subject OK
cept when he gave way to questions
from or interrupted by other Senators.
He did not indicate any intention of
opposing the passage of the appro-
priation of opposing the passage OF
the appropriation bill. but he critised
the methods Of the canal commission
in many of its transactions. When
the Senate adjourned the bill was still
pending, but there was an agreement
for i vote Saturday.
The House devoted four and three
quarter hours to a lively debate on
the possibilities of controlling insur-
ance companies. No conclusion was
reached on the committee reference
Of the insurance feature Of the Presl-
dents message which is the matter
under consideration, and the debate
will proceed Saturday.

Saturday to the extent of four hours
of what was many time termed an
academic discussion of Federal con-
troll of insurance. 1t was the fourth
day Of the debate and the interest of
the members had appreciably dimin-
ished. The holiday recess was fixed
from next Thursday to January 4.

ployes of the government who have
