The courage and valor for which the
Japanese are famous is instilled into
them from their earliest infancy, says
a japanese writer. When baby cries
his mother scolds him, and says
what a coward to cry for a trifling
pain; what will you do when your arm
is cut off in battle? What when you
are called upon to commit hara-kiri?"

WHITMAN COLLEGE WILL HAVE
A VERY STRONG TEAM FOR
THIS SEASON.
Manager Rigsby Is Negotiating With
Pullman and Moscow for Games
During Winter.

Basketball practice will begin at
Whitman this week. Captain Elmo
Reser intends to get out bunch of
fellows who are not in the football
squad and start the work of making
up a championship team. Basketball
| prospects have been considered a lit
| tie better than those in any other
| branch Of athletics all the year and
the missionaries are confident that
they will have the championship team
Of the Inland Empire this winter.
"Slim CARED" and Harry Daven-
port will be missed from the lineup
but Davenport will be in for the games
at the latter part of the season. An
other big loss will be Edward jamie
| son, who captained the team two years
ago and is one of the best basketball
players who ever played in Walla
Walla. But then the Missionaries will
have Alpha Cox, who is a whirlwind
for speed and agility. probably the
best basketball player in the state to-
day. His addition to the team this
year will mean a great deal. Captain
Foxy" Reser will be in the game for
business this year and is a rafting
good little player. Another good play
er who was out of the line up last
year, but who will probably join the
ranks of the ball tossers this year is
Spike" O'Neil, the football guard. He
halls from Spokane, where he had a
big rep as a basketball player and in
the few games he mas played here has
shown himself to be what the boys
call a fierce" player. Then there is
Job Rigsby who is a good steady
man in football, baseball, BASKETBALL
or any other athletics he goes into
He will undoubtedly make the crack
team which the blue and gold will
send out this year, and will also man
age it.
Manager Rigsby is negotiating with
Pullman and Moscow for series Of
games. The plan is to have three in
| tercollegiate basketball games at home
this year and three away. If Rigsby
can fix things his way. Moscow will
play two games at Walla Walla and
Pullman one, the other three games
will be played away from home. 1t is
also hoped that the town players Will
get up a team to meet the fast aggre-
CATION from the college. The new
gymnasium will be an ideal place for
basket ball games as there will be all
kinds of room on the main floor for
| the game and 800 people can see it
nicely from the gallery. Every indi-
cation points to the finest basket ball
season in the history of Walla Walla

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-John w.
Alexander former president of the
Equitable Life Insurance company,
who inaugurated the fight for the mu-
Utilization of that company, is today
broken in mind and body. His chances
for recovery are slim. Until recently
Mr.. Alexander mas been at Oneonta,
in the Catskills, where he was taken
by his family cary in July. A few
days ago he was removed to a sani-
tarium at Deerfield, Mass, where he
now is. The one hope cherished by his
family is that MS mental and physi-
cal vigor may be sufficiently restored
for him to go upon the witness stand
before the Armstrong Investigating
committee to answer the charges am.
insinuations made against him and tell
fully and in detail the causes winch
drove him to bring about an up
heaval which has no parallel in the
financial history of the nation.

Cardinal Sees Sin.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 13-"The
man who lives beyond his means is not
leading an honest life said Cardinal
Gibbons, in his sermon on the text.
Pay what thou owest,' at the cathe-
dral.
"There is another species of dis
honesty" he continued, Conducted
on larger scale. II allude to the
iniquity of watering stock and floating
it on the market or initiating stocks
and bonds and giving them a fictitious
value. This sin is the more odious. as
it is not the result of a sudden inn
pulse Of temptation, but is perpetrated
in cold blood by sharp witted men. who
court the esteem of their fellow citi-
zens. They use all kinds of speciOuA
arguments to catch the unwary In
their tolls, and inflict untold misery
on too confiding community and not
infrequently widows and orphans are
the victims of this species Of fraud"

RUMORED THAT EX-GOVERNOR
GEER WILL BUY PENDLE.
TON TRIBUNE.
Geer Has Formally Announced That
He Will Be a Candidate FOR
United States Senator.

T. T. Geer, ex-governor Of Oregon.
has officially announced that he will be
a candidate for United States sena-
tor, and quickly following the an
nouncement is rumor that ex-Gover-
nor Geer is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Pendleton Tribune of E.
P. Dodd. Mr.. Geer spent several days
in Pendleton last week which has
given rise to the rumor that he is
negotiating for the purchase Of the
Tribune to help along his cause. Com
menting on Ex-Governor Geer's sena-
torial aspirations the Oregon Daily
Journal says:
Mr.. Geer says that for a time he
considered the advisability of running
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor, but, having gone over the field,
he decided that the senatorial field was
the most inviting. The ex-governor
returned to Pendleton last We'd

is building fences throughout the east
ern part Of the state.
A story has been current for some
weeks that Mr.. Geer is negotiating for
the purchase of the Pendleton Daily
Tribune from E. P. Dodd. If the story
is true. it is regarded as significant,
as the ex-governor doubtless would
turn the papers batteries on his OPP
ponents for the senatorial nomination.
Pendleton is the home of Judge S. A.
Lowell, who also has been credited
with an ambition to represent the
state in the senate.
At the same time the decision of
Mr.. Geer to select the senatorial office
for his choice was largely due to the
growing impression that the republic
can nominee who opposes Governor
Chamberlain for reelection will have
an uphill road to travel. The as
sertiOn is made that a number of re-
publicans who aspire to occupy the
gubernatorial chair at Salem have
been frightened at the popularity
shown by the present chief executive.

Il saw a pathetic incident relating
to this while I was there. Half
dozen young fellows of an engineering
corps had just drawn their monthly
pay and settled their board bills. With
the little they hal left they were
gambling with the understanding that
the winner would take the pot and
buy home ticket with it. In this
way about one man a month can get
away from each corps.
1.-THE special rates in the best hotel
in Panama for canal employees are
$50 a month in gold, so that man at
1888 must always be 81 in the hole,
If not more. Rates in the French
quarters range from $40 to $40 in gold,
and the accommodations are bad. Food
and clothing are high, and even a
glass of beer costs 25 cents.
1.-The Spanish and French nave the
idea that because we are building the
canal we necessarily must flood them
with money. They control the trade,
and they have the stores and hotels
and most Of the governmental conees-
sions. Their rates amount to extor-
| ton. but there is no appealing from
them, because they have a monopoly.
Says Climate is Deadly.
"A large percentage of the govern
! ment employees now on the canal are
young southerners, but the climate
does not agree with them, although the
deadliest disease from Panama to
Colon is inconsistencies. With more
than $3O.00O,0OO of French machinery
scattered along the proposed route,
with all the ruin of the French efforts
staring them in the face, and under
paid and hampered in every direction
by red tape, these youngsters become
sick on almost any provocation, and
the only salvation for them is to get
them out Of the country.

pleted at a reasonable figure, but the
feeling in Panama is that successful
work on it never will get under way
until all the commissions are dis
charged and one, big, vigorous
American railway constructor is given
absolute sway over the whole work
and held responsible for all he does.
When this comes about the canal, if
built with locks, will be completed in
ten or twelve years, and if made sea
level in not less than thirty years.
"To the American Spectator and
investor I would sty-keep away
from Panama. Nothing can be found
there worthy of American enterprise
but the building of the canal. The
country itself is not a white mans
land"

Sure Cure for Badness.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Dr. j. Con-
ger Bryan of this city has a radical
cure for badness, and in order to show
the benefits of it he goes about the
streets of the city every day with
the remedy in plain sight. 1t is a
straw hat. When DR.. Bryan meets a
doubter he promptly doffs his sum-
merry toppiece. displays a thick head
of hair that is fast turning white, and
says proudly: my straw hat grew
this hair, and I can prove It,"
DR.. Bryan believes his remedy for
badness should be worn the year
round. When the mercury crawls
down around the zero mark, DR.. Bry-
an promises to make Fifth avenue
and Broadway sit up and take notice
of him this winter.
