Earthquake in China.

Hong Kong, Aug. 13.-The inhabi-
tants Of Macao, in the Canton river,
were stricken with panic owing to a
continuous series of earthquake shocks
which lasted for nine hours yesterday.
Thousands flocked to the parks to get
away from the shaking buildings and
the Chinese priests added to the alarm
by prophesying the destruction Of the
city. Steamers coming from Macao to
Hong Kong are crowded with refugees.

the MONROE DOCTRINE

Presidents Notable Speech at chau-
tauq1a, N. Y.-Earnest Words On
the Trust Problem.

the Trust Problem.
Chautauqua, N. Y. Aug. 12.-"Let US
give President Roosevelt the Chautau-
qua salute at its best"
With thes words Bishop John H.
Vincent closed his brief introduction
OF the President to the Chautauqua
assembly yesterday.
Instantly 10000 white handkerchiefs
futtered in the air over the heads of
the vast audience in the great amphi-
theater
1t was an inspiring and beautiful
sight, and as President Roosevelt
stepped forward smiling. the audience
rose as one person and cheered en-
Enthusiastically.
President Roosevelt began the deliv-
cry Of his address at 11:05. He said:
To-day l STish to speak to you on
the feature of our national foreign pol
icy and one feature of our national do
mestic policy.
THE Monroe doctrine is not a part
of international law. But it is the fun.
damental feature of our entire foreign
policy, so far as the Western hemis-
phere is concerned, and it has more
and more been meeting with recogni-
tion abroad. The reason why it is
meeting with this recognition is be-
cause We have not allowed it to be-
come fossilized, but have adapted our
construction of it to meet the growing.
changing needs of this hemisphere.
Fosslization, of course, means death,
v,yha s,,J s,,;I
ment., or doctrine.
LAS regards the Monroe doctrine,
we must recognize the fact that in
some South American countries there
has been much suspicion lest we
should interpret the Monroe doctrine
in some way inimical to their inter
ests. Now, let it be understood once
for all that no just and orderly govern
to fear from us.
1T must be understood that under nc
circumstances will the United States
use the Monroe doctrine as a CLOAK
for territorial aggression. Should any
of our neighbors, no matter how tur
bulent, how disregardful of our rights
finally get into such position that the
utmost limits of our forbearance are
reached, all the people south Of u.
may rest assured that no action will
ever be taken save what is absolutely
demanded by our self-respect; tha
this action will not take the form o
territorial aggrandizement on ou
part"
The President, in discussing tn
trust problem. said:
1.-The enormous increase in inter
state trade makes it proper that the
federal government should, so far al
may be necessary to carry into effec
its national policy, assume degree o
administrative control Of these grea
corporations.
Certain meat packers
will have to submit to reasonable su
pervision and regulation by the ma
tional authorities, or else they will ul
timately have to submit to governmen
tal action of far more drastic type.
We must not try to 60 too fast, un
der penalty of finding that We may b
going in the wrong direction; and, IL
any event, we ought always to pro
ceed by evolution, and not by revolu
tion.
''The laws must be conceived ant
executed in spirit of sanity and JUS
tice, and with exactly as much regart
for the rights of the big man as TO
the rights of the little man-treatinl
big man and little man exactly alike.

RUBBER MATING FOR CARS
o. r. & N.~Equips Its Coaches Witt
Sanitary Rubber.

The o. R. & N. Company has de-
cided to equip all of it's passenger
coaches with rubber mating in
stead of twine and carpel mating in
the aisles, because of the sanitary
value of the rubber and to prevent
the possibility of carrying disease
germs on cars. i)t
The rubber mating is recommended
by all health and sanitary boards as
being absolutely germ proof and the
company has r. made this Z valuable
change in order to safeguard public
heaAh in travel as much as possible.
During the tourist rush from the
east so many people, from all con-
ditions and surroundings in life are
constantly travelling that the danger
of contagion spreading is very
great at all times.

COLONEL PARKER HERE
Veteran Editor Paying a Visit +
Walla WalIa Friends.

Colonel F. J. Parker arrived in WAL
la Walla this morning and was warmly
welcomed by his many friends. Elk
cept for a trip to Tonapah and all the
new Nevada gold camps, he has
been attending the Portland expo
sition all the summer. That the fair
is a success is due in great meas
ure to the work of Colonel Parker, H.
w. Corbett, the Oregonian and others
who, at it's inception, mad to work
against innumerable obstacles to start
it going. Colonel Parker literally held
up all the commercial bodies of the
state of Washington and virtually
made them advertise the exposition
Since his arrival here he has been
appointed by Mayor Hunt delegate to
the mining congress to be held in Fl
Paso, Texas, next week.

Diso7EYED ORDER OF COURT
NOT TO MODEST HIS WIFE
AND Is JUDGED.
Must Stay in County JsiI Until Re.
turn Of Judge Brents From Port.
land Next Week.

Disobeying an order issued by Judge
Brents not to disturb or modest his
wife pending settlement of divorce
suit, resulted in Billy Noble, a far
mer of the Toucnet country was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Haviland
and Jailer Claude Berry Saturday
night. Noble was amusing himself in
terrorizing Mrs. Noble and house
full of roomers at her home in SUI
mach street at the time.
Noble was locked up in a cell in the
county Jail on a charge of contempt
of court and he will probably remain
in the county bastile until the return
of Judge Brents from trip to Port
land, some time next week Noble be-
came ugly yesterday when he learned
that there was no chance of gaining
his liberty until Judge Brents' re-
turn and came within an ace of
going into the mole" -t.s
Jailer Berry started to put Noble
in the dungeon when he promised to
behave himself Noble spent most
of last week in Walla Walla attending
the races. He was drinking heavily
and Saturday night visited Mrs.
Mobiles rooming house in Sumach
street and demanded admittance.
Rather than create a scene Mrs. No
BILE took MIN into the house, when he
began abusing ner and the children.
Several of the roomers became fright
ened and fled to the street. A tele-
phone message was sent to the sher-
ifs office and a few minutes later
an order was issued by Judge Brents
charging Noble with contempt of
court. The warrant was served by
Deputy Haviland and Tailor Berry.
Noble begged not to be taken to Jail
and appealed to Mrs. Noble, but the
officers would not listen and hauled
him off in a hack.
Mrs. Noble began divorce proceed
ings several weeks ago, alleging cruel
and inhuman treatment. Noble was
ordered not to modest mis- wife, but
it is said the order has been dis
obeyed several times while he was
drinking. Noble will be tried in the
superior court next week on a charge
Of attempting to kill M. o. Phillips,
Touchet farmer, last spring during
drunken spree. Noble bombarded
Phillips home with shot gun and
later was arrested by Deputy Allan
Byrnes. Several times since then
he has been mixed up in street
browls. A peace bond of $1,000,
which he put up in June, was declared
vacated a few days ago, mis- sureties
not caring to take any further
chances on losing their money.

There is but one case on record here

Must Get Rid of Some of Old County
- Practices.

The practice followed by local auc-
tioneers of believing" their sales
along the principal streets is some
thing that does not reflect credit on
the up-to- dateness of the city. When
Walla Walla was a frontier trading
post such methods of announcing a
sale might have been in order, but
in these times it is practice that
cuts but a sorry figure. Outside OF
the roaring" soaring children and
amusing strangers we can't see where
much is accomplished. Auctioneers
with the strenuous" voice should let
up; should make some attempt to
keep up to the times and advertise
their sales in modern legitimate way.
If they were to do this we will guar
antee they will find results much bet
ter all around.
