Some Windows to Be Seen in Local
! Stores Are Regular Works Of Art.

One of the sights Of a large city is
the various window displays made by
the leading stores.
City folks make practice of TAX
ing in the windows" for they know
that is one of the best ways to keep
posted on the newest things.
And a reporter stands ready to at
test that some of the leading stores of
Walla Walla are not in anyway the
least bit behind the stores in the larg-
est cities when it comes to making at
tractive window trims.
One prominent store in particular,
the Golden Rule, corner First and Alder
streets, makes it a point to trim it's
great array of windows quite frequent
ly. So much attention does the man.
agement of this we'll known store pay
to this work the stores windows are
now recognized and acknowledged to
be one of the attractions of the city
and hundreds make it point to view
them weekly.
Just at present this store Is showing
some new windows that are really
works Of art. More attractive or tast-
lily decorated windows are not be seen
anywhere. Especially are the displays
relating to ladies goods well worth
anyone's inspection. One display, en-
bellished and set off by a number of
life-like wax figures, is easily ahead of
anything of it's kind ever before seen
in Walla Walla. The wax figures, an
interesting study in themselves, are
new importations to this city and in
volve no little expense.
No, Walla Wallans who have occa-
sion to entertain visitors, need not be
ashamed to call the latters attention

seen daily in a number of the city's
prominent stores.

was undoubtedly a man Of real capacity
and vet some of mis- prominence came
from the fact that he served a presi-
dent who had never seen Washington
before his Inauguration, and who en-
loved the personal acquaintance of
hardly score Of political leaders
Clevelands rise in politics had been
so rapid that there had been no time
for him to make acquaintance, to say
nothing of reliable friendship, at the
capital. Lamont knew Washington
from the standpoint of a newspaper
man and was the guide and protection
of the new president in the early days
of the Cleveland regime.
He returned to Washington with
Cleveland as secretary of war, but he
accomplished nothing to mark him as
a statesman. He merely filled the
place statutorially and neither helped
or nindered the status of the army.
Indeed it was always supposed that he
was in the cabinet not because he was
an administrator, but because it was
a convenient station from which to
guard the political interests of his
chief But when Mr.. Clevelands term
expired he had no political interests.
Free silver and Bryan had swept them
away. q.

HOBBY FOR JUNE WEDDINGS.
Mrs. Catherin Clark Had One Almost
Every Year.

DES MONIES, July 29-Mrs. Cath
crime Clark of West Union, Ia, was ar
rested today at Laramie, Wyo., and is
being brought back to Iowa on the
charge of having married four men,
All her husbands are living and none
are divorced, and they are united in an
effor to prosecute the woman. Mrs.
Clark's last venture is said to have
been made through matrimonial bur-
eau. Her first husband, Clark, has a
14-year- daughter in West Union.
Mrs. Clark had a penchant for June
weddings In June, 1903 she was mar
ried to Charles Christianson and in
June, 1904, she welded David A. Leach,
a farmer residing within 10 miles of
the farm upon which her first husband
lived Is years ago. She deserted Leach
in May this year, just in time to get
another June wedding with Wyoming
rancher. Leach is bringing the legal
action, and until the past week when
he has been at work on the case, none
Of the husbands have known of the ex
istence of the other husbands. Mrs.
Clark is said to have represented to
her second husband that Clark was
dead Leach says that she told the
same story to him, and that he might
never have found out differently had
he not secured possession to letter
written by the mother of her daughter,
which gave a clue.

THE BLIND POLICE OF FRISCO

Public Opinion says the attempt of
the local police to regulate gambling
and pool selling in San Francisco is
an opera bouffe performance. The
town is wide OPEN and has been
ever since Boss Ruef came into power.
All the gamblers know this as well as
the sporting fraternity that, enjoy
games Of chance and the opportunity
to bet on horse races and other events.
There are a dozen notorious pool
rooms running in various parts of the
city. All are we'll known to the po-
lice, and it is natural to assume that
each is paying a good round sum for
police protection. In fact the story
goes that $50 a day is the tariff in
graft that allows one to run a pool
room safely. Even a stranger within
the city gates can get the address of
ing hotel clerk, if he makes it worth
the clerks while to exert his men,
DRY. When the local racing season
is on, which comprises about six
months in the year, the gambling evil
is at it's height. Every cigar store then
keeps hand book" and small clerks
may wager as little as Is cents on a
horse. At lunch, during the racing
season, these small bets are taken in
the saloons on the main blocks of Mar
ket street Everyone knows Of these
things but the patrOlmen on the beat
never seem to see what is patent to
all others. OF course, this open gam
bling, in which mere boys can indulge
freely, is very demoralizing, and the
record of petty defalcations by clerks
on small salaries is growing every year.
Growing also is the roll of suicides Of
those who nave been drawn into this
toboggan slide to ruin and death. If
careful record were made of the
young men and boys who have been
sent to state prison, or to the house of
correction during the last four years
for crimes due to gambling on horse
races, the total would amaze the pub

DANIEL S. LAMONT.

Daniel S. Lamont was, like George B.
Cortelyou, first made famous by his
handling of the office of secretary to
the president. The style Of office in
Lamonts time was that of private
secretary, but congress dignified it by
increasing the compensation and
changing the title to that of secretary
to the president. The latter is the
proper title as the cesretary is a pub
lie functionary and has nothing to do
with the presidents private affairs
The secretary's principal business is
taking care of the presidents time.
He it is who arranges the presidents
day and decides who may see him. at
what hour and for how long. In addi-
ton he conducts and is responsible for
the immense correspondence of the
White House, nearly all of which re-
lates to the affairs of the nation.
Some people have lately called the
secretary an assistant to the president.
but this is not only constitutionally. but
physically impossible. The president
must conduct the business of the exc
cutive office in his name. He cannot
delegate any part of it to an assistant
or even to cobinet officer. Congress
may by law divert some powers from
one executive officer to another. hut
cannot tamper with the powers of
the president without his consent.
The office of secretary becomes of
Importance only when a man of ex-
ceptional ability occupies the position.
This has not happened often. Lamont

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PROBLEM

In administering public functions
Russia has probably gone farther than
any other country. Practically all pub
lie utilities are owned and managed by
the government. Hardly any latitude
is left to individual enterprise.
Russia is as far from being success
full as from being democratic. The
government is everything and all. Pub
lie utilities are controlled by the gov
eminent because the government pre-
fers to reserve all functions to itself.
1t is now announced, however, that
Russia is preparing to dispose of it's
railroads to private corporations. If
this plan be realized, there will be
many proposals for the properties.
Government ownership has had no
competition in railroad building, and,
therefore, there is no competition Tor
traffic. There are no competing lines.
The government adhered to the fixed
policy of constructing just enough
track to meet requirements. There
would be prospect of large profits to
private corporations.
There is but little difference between
some of the public ideas ad-
same ideas as practiced in Russia. In
one case they are public ownership; in
the other, government ownership. In
one case it is a popular system; in the
other an autocratic system. Ultimately
the same effect is prOduced-curtail-
ment of private enterprise and en-
croachment upon individual rights.
The Russian method is offered for
comparison, not for the purpose of at
tacking the theory of public ownership,
but In order to indicate that the the
DRY, unless it is construed conserva-
lively, is likely to bring about the very
evils which it aims to remove. Public
ownership has to be applied with strict
honesty and with scrupulous attention
to real democracy.
If the government can be supreme in
Russia under a strong autocracy, a
governmental system could become SUI
preme in democracy. An arbitrary
system would be a despotic govern
ment.
The application of public ownership
ideas is inevitable. These ideas will
be enforced in some form, varying ac-
cording to local or general conditions
Administrations need authority to repel
the schemes of selfish corporations, to
obliterate the evils of private enter
prise, and to advance the public inter-
ests. In other words. original princi-
pies have to be restored.
But it is imperative that, in ap-
plying public ownership or administra-
tive authority, the system should not
be allowed to become so formidable as
to crush private democracy.

lie operated there for few days and
disappeared, no one knowing where
he drlfted. Since pair of eye Cog
giles has been found in the clothes
taken from the man found with his
throat cut, many people, together
with Chief McNutt, are almost posi-
tive that IL is the same man. Several
parties here and Paducah have seen
Oswald wear eye goggles and had al
so seen him carry razor to shave
himself. With all these circumstan-
ces and newer and palmer ones de-
veloping every day, there is scarce

Every person who has seen Os-
valid describes him exactly as the
man appeared when found dead.
"Chief McNutt received a letter
Monday morning from James Collins,
chief of police of Paducah, stating
that he had located and secured all

Business Transacted There for
the First Time Today.
Attractive hut Cold Is the Building
The City Finds Lighting II
Serious Problem.
DARK FOR AWHILE TO-DAY

The new market house was thrown
open this morning and all the butch
ers and others who transact business
on the market were there, while
the old warehouse used for several
months as a temporary warehouse
was closed and deserted.
The new structure is spacious and
attractive but is very cold. The old
house was cold enough but the 1sw
Is much colder.
There were few people about the
building, excepting the butchers and
"a few farmers and hucksters, until
about o'clock, when the public be-
gan to arrive, and before O'Clock
the handsome structure had been
viewed by hundreds of people, many
Of whom had never seen 1t before,
even from the outside.
The city is up against a serious
proposition, however, in regard %
lighting the new structure. This
morning the seven arc lights, which
are furnished from the city plant,
suddenly went out about $3.50
o'clock. leaving the entire inside of
the building as dark as night itself.
You couldn't see a man five feet
away, and the butchers and others,
who had not anticipated such a
thing, Immediately had to hustle
about for lamps, candles any any
thing else they could find to make
light.
The cause of the lights being
turned off is that it was the regu-
lar hour for shutting off all city
lights. The circuit on which the mar
ket house lights are located had
been kept in much longer than any
of the other lights, but still 1t was
not long enough.
The only thing to do under the
present arrangement is to run the
lights on this circuit until the inte-
rior of the market house is light
enough for people to see, which will
not be until about a. m. at the
present time. This would necessi-
tate a fire being kept at the light
plant and the employees remaining
there an hour or more longer every
morning just for these seven lights,
which is bound to prove costly.
1t would also result in the plant
having to be run on moonlight
nights solely in order to light up the
market house after a. m. and to
keep a fire all night, and some one
there to lok after it, which would
also prove costly.
1t is claimed by members of the
council that arc lights should never
have been put in, in the first place,
as they will in warm weather draw
millions of bugs to fall around into
everything, and they blame the
board of public works for the over
sight. The councilmen declare that
the board has been claiming that the
light plant is too small, and has
denied a number of petitions from
various parts of the city for lights,
and then put seven in the market
house exclusively, for which at
times the city plant will have to be
run.
A member of the board of works
today stated that efforts were b ing
made 20 have the street car compa
ny furnish the power for the seven
arc lights, and bids will be opened
today. 1t seems clear that the city
can't furnish the lights except at a
great cost.
