Advertising Chat

A retailer should reach out for
all the trade there is, and, while
no man can get it all, enough
can be secured to score a busi-
ness success. The man who Is
content with little will. in these
hustling times, be likely to find
himself obliged to be content
with nothing. Advertising for
business Is the way to get 1t,
and It is only a question OF
proper advertising methods that
stands between any retailer Of
good goods and success. The
Evening Statesman is profit
able advertising medium not
only because it is read In
the majority OF the homes OF
Walla Walla but because every
subscriber pays for his or her
paper. People don't pay for pa
pers they don't read. and papers
that are not read can be Of no
use to the advertiser.

Entitled 70 Best Service.
No consideration of political SER
vice or PERSONAL friendship will permit
the appointment of inefficient appli-
cants in the public service, nor retain
In Office a proven Incompetent or un-
faithful public official. From the
highest official to the lowest subordi-
nate, the people are entitled to the
very best service obtainable in the
state in the management of its affairs
and in the conduct Of its business.
Concerning Education. -
Our educational institutions and
public school system have been invig-
GRATED by bountiful contribution from
the hand of a generous and far seeing
government In the form Of various
land grants. We shall continue in the
future to supplement the revenues so
received by sufficient amount raised
by direct taxation to maintain our
facilities upon the highest plans. The
national and state governments long
ago assumed the duty ana burden of
standing for the education Of the chill
dren in order to be assured Of an in
telligent and patriotic citizenship
The student in the higher educa-
tional institutions should receive
wholesome advice and instruction in
the duties and obligations Of good cit
izenship, and he should be taught to
revere the form of government es-
tablished by our forefathers., Any at

rier. On November 8, 1904. the peo-
pie of this country gave to the present
chief executive of. this nation an ex-
preston Of their confidence and good
will more pronounced than ever before
extended to a chief magistrate by the
voluntary act of free people. It Is a
pleasure to quote, and equally pleas
ureable for you to hear and indorse in
this connection, the sentiment ex-
pressed in an extract from the mes
sage Of President Roosevelt to, con-
gress, given In December. 1901, con-
cerning the amendment Of the present
interstate commerce act. I quote as
follows: The railway is a public SER
want. Its rates should be just to and
open to all shippers alike. The gov
ernment should see to it that within
it's jurisdiction this is SO and should
provide q speedy, inexpensive and ef-
fective remedy to that end. At the
same time it must not be forgotten
that our railroads are the arteries
through which the commercial life
fbood Of the nation flows. Nothing
could be more foolish than the enact
ment Of legislation which would un-
necessarily interfere with the develop
ment and operation Of thse commercial
agencies.
Tax Commission.
Of a tax commission he said:
Many demands will be made upon
you during the session for the enact
ment of measures which will tend to
materially increase the state appro-
priations for the ensuing two years.
Those so interested in increased ap-
preparation will not perhaps manifest
the same zeal in promoting legislation
by which the exchequer Of the state
may be replenished and increased .ap-
propriations met.
Il would. therefore. suggest that.

decision upon your part to appropriate
money from the treasury for purposes
other than the usual and necessary
running expenses Of the state govern
ment, you take up for consideration
proposed legislation suggested by that
plank Of the republican state platform.
