THE STREET vENDERS' PAIR.
A Splendid Success for the Ladies' Guild Of St.
Johns Church.

A Splendid Success for the Ladies' Guild Of St.
Johns Church.
The Street Vendors Carnival held
by the ladies of St. Johns church at
"The Lobby" Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings, was gratifying success,
both as an agreeable pastime and in
augumenting the fund raised annually
by the Guild for promoting church
work. All the usual noises and con.
fusion of the street fair were present,
except throwing OF confetti. which
Notwithstanding it was barred, found
expression in an occasional handful
of popcorn showered down upon the
crowd. And there was n crowd that
was so dense, at times, as TO detract
very much from enjoyment. Booths
were filled with much to eat and
drink, and presided over by bravest of
women and fairest OF men. Ice crea m
and hot coffee, CONNECTIONS and pop
corn, seemed to be the principal re-
freshments, but they were sufficient
to gather in many sheckels from the
willing throng. Then the Gypsy tent,
where your fortune could be told for
only ten cents by palm or card-and
good ones too, which invariably caused
their patrons to depart with a smile
upon the lips and CLINT in the eyes.
A real meritorious feature, not always
present at fairs. was the delightful
vocal and instrumental music, a choice
programme of which was provided for
each meeting. This experience has
been so pleasing in all respects that We
feel like Suggesting repetition. with
the opening OF some of the other large
rooms of "The Lobby" to better &C.
commodate the crowd that always
pstronize such entertainments.

Walla Walla Whitewash.

The pcnitentisry Investigation ended
Wednes day afternoon, in a white
wash" Tor Warden KEGS, or as is stat,
ca in the report, "there was nothing
to prove the charges against Mr..
kees." There is some necessity, OF
course, to find scapc goat under
snch circumstances, and after an in
eGectual attempt to make w. A.
Rupp, the Tacoma newspaper man,
give his authority for charges made
against the penlten,iary employees, the
board concluded to foist all blame
upon Iudse Brents, and after referring
t. the severe critsci>m OF the guards
at their trial for false registration last
summer, dismissed further examina-
ton into the matter. In fact, they
leave tie impression THAI It was the
Judges comments HpCn their acts
which had led to this investigation.
1t is stated in the dispatch announc-.
ing termination OF the inquiry, aud
donh!i,>s with authority OF the board,
THAT the impression prevails the
Judge lectures altogether too much
from the bench" and it is noted
that the Supreme Court recently set
aside a judgment OF conviction OF an
Italian, on a charge OF manslaughter,
holding that the trial judge-Brents-
had talked too much during the prog
ress of the case, and that on second
trial the defendant was acquitted.
1t seems to us that where there has
been so much smoke there must have
necessarily been some fire. 1t is not
denied that the guards attempted to
register, nor has it been shown that
they acted without knowledge Of War
den KEGS. That they are not techui
cally guilty Of the crime of perjury
may be true, but it is not shown to be
to their credit that a protest Of con-
science kept them from committing
the crime as prescribed by statute. 1t
seems to US that in any event the
Warden should have retired from the
Office, or been removed. The purity OF
public life should be above suspicion,
and neither the Governor nor his ap-
pointee should be willing to assume as
untrue anything simply because it
cannot be proven.

The support that William r. Hearst
is securing in New York has arou sed
the greatest alarm, both in Tamm any
and the Republican machine-in fact
some OF the latter signify their inten.
ton to vote for Mcclellan in the emer-
gency. There is no doubt but that
Hearst will receive q strong support
from the social element who favor alb.
sorption of public utilities by govern
ment. Straw votes were cast in some
of the factories and were almost uuan-
imously for Hearst.

to fortify the Panama Canal. A mill.
tary commission is with him to sug-
gest the methods that will have to be
adopted to keep other nations from
appropriating the privileges acquired
at such heavy cost. The "big stick,"
the canal and the demand for increase

to make the expenses very excessive,

FILIPINO EDUCATION.-W. A. Suth-
erland, of the Bureau OF Insular Al
fairs, at Washington, who has charge
of the Filipino students in American
schools and colleges. says that while
two years ago there were but $4,000
pupils in the Philippine schools, there
are now fully 100000. There are now
in the United States 17S Filipino stu
dents, eight of whom are girls. They
are between the ages of l6 and 81
years of age, selected after competitive
examination, and are scattered all over
the country in many OF its leading in
situations, to gather as wide range OF
education as possible from different
conditions and surroundings. Their
support is provided by the Philippine
government from direct taxation and
duties on imports. DR.. Devine, OF the
New York Observer, who has made an
investigation of the subject, says that
the people of the islands are childlike
and eager for an education and are
fast fitting themselves for fulfilling the
slogan, The Philippines for the Fill
pinos."

That Civil Service Order.

The recent order from the White
House empowering cabinet officers to
disregard the rule that has constituted
the hackhnno of the civil service sys
l"m, and to summary d!>nl>s inc0m-
petont or inefficient. clerks will add
much t. the v,,ue OF the work
done. and th.:e i hat little doubt that
tv Il y mai, 10 apply 10 all depart.
meu's th.t haze been placed under
the ron .al -ul.-. That some exam
nation should ha made OF applicants
tc determine their fitness for position,
was l.u: reasonable. and 50 far the rules
will have the support OF all fair and
honest people. but when the attempt
was made to erect around the subor.
d!nate an impenetrable wall OF de-
Tense, whereby and wherein he could
bid defiance to his principal, the head
in his field OF labor and responsible for
its proficiency, the seeds OF endless
di-cord were .own so pslpably, that
il is surprising that honest advocates
OF the plan could not see it.
Man is so constituted that he must
acknowledge some control, human or
divine. The rulers of men must apply
the laws which conscience prescribes
or ambition directs, and is responsible
TO the Supreme Ruler for results !;
court officers and cabinets are answer
able to the sovereign head for their
stewardship; the chief in bureaus are,
or should be, held to rules prescribed
by the heads of the respective depart
ments, and so on down to the janitor
who cares for the rooms or to his as.
sstant who sweeps the floors or emp
ties the waste baskets. Each is de-
pendent upon the other to promote
thorough efficiency, and that all are
under direction of the higher, and
highest authority should occasion war
rant, for systematic work. The sub
mission OF details to others, is for con.
venience, and does not carry with it
REIMBURSEMENT Of right to direct to
the minutest particulars all that may
conduce to that object. These pre-
misses seem so plain that it appears to
be absurd to dispute the fact that they
are based upon reason.
The trouble that the Olympia post
master had, few years ago, in dis.
charging an insolent letter carrier,
who was protected by civil service
rules, is an instance in point. Mr..
Wisner, the local "Nasby," was i'm.
portuned, for cause, to dismiss one Of
his employees, who Immediately ap.
pealed to the department, and made
countercharges-trivial in their ma.
ture, however-against his employer.
The department Immediately set in
motion its ponderous machinery to
investigate both employer and en-
ploye, to the great detriment of the
public service, with the result, how
ever, that the postmaster was ulti-
mately sustained. But what a wide
door this experience opens for develop.
ment of the evil disnositicn of moor
frail human nature! How it must
necessarily restrain the ambition OF
the heads Of departments to promote
the highest degree of efficiency! To
be handed up to the bar of judgment
through the malice OF suspended en-
ploye, and subject to trial on trumped
up charges, is beyond the limit that
anybody with enough dignity TO hold
an important Office will endure.

ROOSEVELT AS THE DEMOCRATIC Nom.
INEE.-lt will greatly simplify matters
if the suggestion OF Walter Wellm an,
of Washington. is adopted, that the
Democrats hold their national conven
ton in 1908, before the Republican do
theirs, and nominate Theodore Roose-
welt as their candidate for Preside mt.
The temper of the Southern people
manifested during the Presidents
visit has suggested this as the logical
means of reliabilitating a party that
has twice been defeated by division.
Tho party need but refer to its own
record for precedent in this matter, dur
ing the memorable Greeley campaign,
but that was at time when the power
of Republican bosses was supr eme,
and they could have turned down a
saint had he appeared as the exponent
of the opposition. In this instance
Mr.. Roosevelt appears as the greatest
and most successful opponent of ring
rule and the bosses will be indeed
gnawing file when they attempt to
down him. They know this, and will
fall in line readily, as the only alter
native. Then again Mr.. Roosevelt
verifies the truth Of an old adage in a
modified form. That he was born
lucky is evident, that he has managed
80 as to attain lucky results, goes
without saying, and that he literally
has luck thrust upon him is being ex'
emplified every day.

WOMEN MORE HONEST IN BUSINESS
THAN MEN.-The N. Y. World says
that in the State of Iowa are at pres.
ent fourteen women bank cashiers and
eighteen women assistant cashiers.
Two-thirds OF these officials started as
bookkeepers. No Iowa bank directed
by q woman has ever failed and no
woman placed in a bank position of
trust has proved unfaithful. And this
in q State which has seen thirty.six
bank failures in five years, leading 10
six suicides and six convictions in the
criminal courts. On capital stock Of
5000 the Bank of Joplin, 10 Missouri,
reports $250,OO0 in surplus funds; de.
deposits $476,579; interest and ex.
change, 1911. The banks cashier,
assistant cashier and three bookkeepers
are women. This shows that women
are the safer as we'll as the fairer sex.

Some Fair Figures.

In connection with tho figures OF
the late Portland Exposition, it may
be interesting to quote some of the
totals of the St. Louis Fair which
closed few months before the former
opened.
The approximate amount received
by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Company from gate receipts and con.
cessions (estimated), SIC, 000, 900; from
United States Government. 81, 900 600 +;
from city of St. Louis, $4,000 900 ;
subscribed by citizens OF st. Louis.
$5.OOO,OOO; total. $25,OOO,OO0. The
United States Government also loaned
the Exposition, $1,000, 600, which was
repaid out OF admission receipts. The
total attendance for 1877 days was 49,
TAI ,O73. The greatest attendance on
any one day was on st. Louis Day, Sep.
TENDER Is, 4O4.45O. Tho Portland
Fair, during its 137 days. scored 2,545,-
500 admissions; the largest attendance
in any one day was Portland Day,
when IS, $50 admissions were recorded.
At st. Louis the amount received from
concessions and gate receipts. is esti-
mated at $l0,OOO,OO0; at Portland
from those sources the sum of 81 ,O45,-
800 is reported. At the beginning Of
the third month, the Portland Fair
was out of debt, and at the same pc.
riod at st. Louis, the management was
confronted with an alarming deficit
and extraordinary means were used for
increasing the patronage to save from
loss the stock subscribers; at Portland
they came out $3.50 600 ahead without
any charity plea.

How prone poor mortals are to make
fools Of themselves! On board the
warship West Virginia, while on he r
trip South the other day, with the
Presidential party, Roosevelt after in.
spection of the vessel and her men,
ventured down into the coal hole,
when he was handed shovel profuse-
ly decorated and asked to "heave" q
shovel-full of coal into one OF the
boiler furnaces. When this was done,
the boiler was Immediately christened
the Roosevelt boiler, the shovel was
passed around so that each stoker
might pass coal with it, and was then
cut up into small pieces, that we're re.
tanned as souvenirs. One would SUD.
pose that such evidences of subservancy
would excite but contempt in even the
recipient OF them. 1t puts the writer
in mind of poor old Jeal, the market
gardener many years ago, who peddled
peas from the same sack which he had
named the McFadden" pea, or the
Garfielde" pea, as his patrons politi.
cal predictions warranted.

that, in his thirty years of railroad
service he has not been away from bis

The charges of grand larceny made
on April by Thomas Stokes against
Dewitt Smith, railroad builder, No.
141 Broadway, have been dismissed by

were about three hundred Democrats

Perhaps more than five hundred vo
