ONE OF WALLA WALLA'S
WORTHY DAUGHTERS.

Probably the youngest principal Of
city public school in this state is Miss
Nettie Galbraith of this city, principal
Of the New Green Park school. Miss
Galbraith is one of the most success
full teachers in tine city and is a gen.
eral favOrite among pupils and par
ents. She is only twenty years of age,
but for the last six or seven years mas
been we'll known in Walla Walla as
an elocutionist of exceptional ability.
The success of Miss Galbraith shows
what may be accomplished by a girl
of pluck and energy through the aid of
our public schools, in spite of ad-
verse circumstances. The orphaned
daughter of an honored pioneer Of this
city, she has been the joy, pride and
comfort of widowed mother. Walla
Walla is proud of the young principal
of the Green Park school and will be
delighted to note her continued sue
cess and promotion.

New York, on May 10, 1926, and is

He kept purchasing farms until ne

WITHIN SIGHT OF MILLIONS.
Capt. David A. Dare, Claimant to Prop
erty at Dallas.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 19.-To be
within the grasp of millions, yet die
on a pauper's bed at the poor farm, is
the fate of Capt. David A. Dare, a
died at the county hospital at the age
of 70, On the eve of what promised to
be a great legal battle to recover
property at Dallas, Texas, worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. " .-.'
Capt. Dare was a master Of the
United States transport Foote during
the civil war. His history reads like a
romance. 1t is a story of strenuous
life from early manhood almost to the
grave. Bigamy plays prominent part
in the drama, and it was owing to this
that Capt. Dare was separated. from
his possessions. Disease partly cloud
ed his mind so that for years ne did
not recover the use Of his faculties
sufficiently to try to secure what he
stoutly maintained on his deathbed
was his own.
He was born in Philadelphia and
was in the army transport service
throughout the civil war. After wand
ering through many states in which
he followed various occupations, he
went to Texas shortly after the Cen
tennial exposition and acquired a
large tract of land near Dallas and
valuable property in the heart of the
city.
His wife refused to follow him to
supposed to be a widow named Mary
Rye, only to find that she was already
married. When she threatened t
nave him arrested for bigamy he fled
leaving all his property and $500
the bank.
Fear of being prosecuted for this
crime and being sent to the peniten-
tiary for bigamy led him to keep his
whereabouts secret, and, being able
to make a good living, he did not worry
about his abandoned possessions.
He was recognized at the hospital
by Mrs. Joseph Brandon of Portland,
a former employe of his at Dallas, and
before he died he decided her ali his
possessions on the consideration that
she care for him the balance of his
life. Contest for possession of the
property, which is now worth several
times what it was wnen Capt Dare
future.

straight comedy depends upon acting
for its success. Handsome and picto-
rial settings are help, but are not al
ways absolutely essential. In a piece
like THE Girl From Kay's'' good act
ing is as necessary as in a Shakes
pearian drama. Beautiful scenery is
expected and the costumes must be
absolutely of the latest design and of
handsome materials. There must be
light, life and movement and few
draggy moments are fatal. Then there
is the music There is lots of it that
is good, but good is not good enough.
1t must contain those qualities which
make it popular and the proportion of
songs that have this quality is less
than one in a thousand. A tuneful
melody may be ruined by a poor
voice, so singers who can really sing
have to be secured. In a measure the
protector of a musical comedy must
appeal to ones eye, ear and sense of
numor. In the way of costumes and
production he must take a step in ad-
vance of all of the previous works
staged. 1t is musical comedies like
1.-The Girl From Kays" that show the
onward strides made in staging. This
latest success boasts Of one of the
most lavish productions that the stage
has had in recent years. The public
appreciate good musical comedies and
managers only produce them to full
fill a demand. They are awful risks,
however, wnen staged in sucn a lavish
way. The cost of production is heavy,
the cost of maintaining them is heavy
and at the best the margin of profit is
as nothing compared with that which
may be earned by a successful play
with small company.

NOT AN ILL WIND.

The investigation of the govern
ment printing Office has been brought
about by a quarrel between two type
setting machine companies. When it
was decided to put linotype machines
into the governments printing shop,
the Mergenthaler and the Lanston
companies bid for the contract of
equipping the Office. These concerns
are active business rivals, but it was
the Mergenthaler company which, to
large extent at least, paved the way
for the Introduction of machines into
the department. Its chagrin was
therefore quite natural when it ap-
peared that the Lanston company was
likely to take a large part of the con-
tract.
This led to charges of graft and
favoritism, and developed into a con-
troversy which calls for Investigation
"a much more rigid investigation
ploUdUly ludn 0llN0r OF the machine
companies would care to have institute
ed. The public interest is intensified,
too. by the fact that the Investigation
is not likely to be confined to the ma
chine companies but to take into ac-
count the general management of the
office. 1t will commence with an in
qulry by the Keep commission, a
special board of experts in bookkeep-
'ng and business forms But this will
probably be only Introductory to a
more thorough inquiry by congress
into matters that the commission
could not reach.
Such an inquiry would seem to be
justified by the conditions which OBJ
tain in an office where great extrava-
gance has been prevalent for years. 1t
will show that this extravagance is
largely due to the generous scale on

ton upon the subject, for Mrs. Wells
has been for some time a member Of
the Massachusetts state board of ed
ucation. The essential thing, in Mrs.
Wells judgment, is that women shall
bring to this important public service
the resources of their feminine nature.
They should no more ignore their sex
than they should obtrude it. Their
peculiar, distinctive work is what Mrs.
Wells calls The motherhood of hos
pitality," with reference to both teach
ers and children-personal~ attention
to details. freedom from partisanship,
sympathetic breadth of view, the en-
richment of school life, the develop
ment of hygiene and domestic science
and the giving of a large amount of
time that must presuppose sufficient
leisure from other interests to spend
days where men spend hours, and
hours where men spend minutes. Mrs.
Wells says:
"Of course, men should and do have
the same work; but, from the multi
plicity of their ways of bread-winning,
they have not usually the same lar
CESS of time to give to schools as such,
which women have; or else their SER
vice may be only legislative, broadly
important as that is. A mans work
is more directly connected with finan-
ces and creation of buildings; yet, alas
for the school-houses which have not
also a womans suggestions as to their
requirements! In other words,
womans work is more directly in the
schools, with the teachers and child
rem. That is what is meant by the
motherhood of hospitality. If dirty
or puny child is repellant to her, she
can do no good to him or his teacher.
But, if she sees in him a boy who
needs mothering, she can help the
weary teacher to arouse his interest
in new ways. No matter how inven-
tive an instructor, her inventions now
and then pail before the initiative given
by the stimulus of the outsider, the
committee woman; only the latter
may not deem herself infallible in
theory when confronted with the daily
experience of the teacher"

dale between the two officials had
been seriously disturbed by the trans
mission of several messages between
the city hall and the criminal court
building.
Mr.. Healy sent a brief note to Mr..
Lewis asking MIN to call at the states
attorneys office for conference,

quest. If another interest is at hand

cluded he had been in a bad temper

to apologize to Mr.. Hea1y.

Wife of Millionaire Former Creates

genuine sensation has been created

The proceedings were instituted in

oldest son of the couple, Irving C.
Smith, be appointed guardian. 1t is
asserted that Mr.. Smith is mentally
unable to handle the business of his
estate and that designing and unscru-
pulous men may take advantage of his
condition. His generous benefactions
have attracted a host of besiegers,
who are insistent upon donations for
all sorts of purposes.

TRAGEDY DUE TO GAMBLING.

The East Oregonian vi Pendleton,
calls attention to the fact that
the tragic suicide of Jack Stew
art because of losses at gambling
proves that gambling is still toll
Grated by the police of that city,
despit assurances to the con-
trary. Stewart was 1eeced out of
$50 or more in the Rainier beerhall
Saturday night, and on Sunday morn
ing, overcome by sense of shame
and remorse he ended his life by firing
a bullet into mis- brain.

sponsible for the sad fate of Jack

game in Wala Walla. Up to that time
he was making a good living as wood
and coal dealer and he was providing
well for his wife and children. But
meant ruin to his business, and when
ne had regained mis- senses after a
night of debauch, he was so ashamed
of himself that he had not the cour-
age to face his family and he left the
town for several weeks. On his re-
turn he avowed his purpose to- let

stuck to his work and got a little
capital ahead for starting in business
again, when he stopped at Pendleton
on his way to Meacham to buy wood
A few drinks with old acquaintance
there and it was all off with him
again. He was lured into another gam
bling game and was soon robbed of
all his money. When he realized his
second disgrace, heaped upon the pain
full memory of the first, it is no wonder
that he gave up in utter despair and
determined to end mis- life that he
might leave his wife and children the
$4,000 life insurance that he had pro-
vided for them.
Business men and others who de-
plore the closing of gambling in Wa1la
Walla for the last week by Captain
of Police Davis under orders from
Mayor Hunt, should ponder On the
sad case of Jack Stewart
The money of which Jack Stewart
was robbed in this city may nave
been spent here by the tinhorns who
got it. but would it not have been bet
ter if the money had been spent by
Stewards family? While the closing
of gambling may mean that fewer dia
monds, suits of broadcloth and less
silken finery may be bought by tin
horns and their mistresses, it means
that more articles of necessity will be
purchased by workingmen and their
families, who otherwise must go with
out proper food and clothing.
Mayor Jones of Minneapolis, who
was in Walla Walla a few days ago,
said that his city is growing and
prospecting more than ever since the
closing of gambling and the enforce
ment of order and decency.
Walla Walla's experience promises
to be similar if the present policy
of suppression of gambling is con-
tinued. That there may be no more
tragedies like that which cost thu
life of Jack Stewart and the distress
of mis- family, let us hope that the old
wide-open policy will never be re-
vived
