Now is a good time for those in
terested in the relative merits of bit
ulithic jand asphalt pavements to
see the kind of work being done by
the Warren Construction company. On
East Main street next to the street
car line this morning the bitulithic
pavement was cut back IA inches,
and it could be seen that the detach-
ed portion was fully as thick as
what was left. The surface coating
with all That stuck to it was less than
three inches thick. 1t makes a sorry
showing compared with the samples
on exhibition here before the paving
contracts were let.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Girl From Kav's."

Everything points to the fact that
the big production Of THE Girl From
Kay's" which is to be made at the
Keylor Grand Theatre tonight, will at
tract an audience as large as the house
will hold. Of all the musical come
dy successes of recent years the hit
scored by the latest one has assumed
the largest proportions. 1t is said to
contain everything in it's favor. The
story it tells is sane, consistent and
entertaining, the dialogue is exception
ally clever, the scenes are full of life,
movement and harmonious colOrings.
and the tuneful melodies keep running
through ones head long after they are
once heard. The piece is to be given
here exactly as it was given in Lon
don. There are no local illusions,
cheap gags, or senile jokes in it and
rag time music is conspicuous by its
absence. All of the situations hang
on the story and the humor of it all is
simply irresistible. In New York it
was looked upon as the most hilarious
ly amusing work transplanted from
the English stage in years. Bobby
North who is the star of the organi-
cation, plays the part Of a wealthy
cad who is trying to get into socie-
ty. He desires that everyone should
know that he is rich and he fondly
imagines that he can talk to anyone
and insult anyone because he is rich.
The man is a type who has counter
parts in all large cities. Prominent in
the company is Miss Lila Blow who
is seen in the title part. The produc-
ton is said to be a gorgeous one.
There are large number of young
women moving through the three acts
of the comedy and they wear gowns
of the latest design and fashion. in
fact, some of the pictures are described
as dazzling. What with it's humor, it's
cast and it's rollicking melodies the
comedy is said to furnish a delightful
entertainment.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE.

That the property owners along any
street to be paved should nave the
privilege of deciding what kind or
navement should be used is the sent1-
ment of nearly all the people Of this
city, the only exceptions being few
men financially interested in the
awarding of contracts to the Warren
Construction company. Three months
ago the Big Four of the city council
took the same view and gave it as
their excuse for awarding the con-
tract for paving East Alder street,
East Main street and other Improvement
districts to the highest bidder. Last
Wednesday night, however, this rule
was regulated, one Of the Big Four
declaring that the people were not
capable of judging for themselves
what kind Of pavement should be laid.
Like George the Third and other ty-
rants, the Big Four now assume SUI
perior wisdom and a divine right to
rule, regardless of all popular con-
ceptions of justice and fair play. They
nave deliberately set about to give the
Warren Construction company
monopoly in the building of pavement
in Walla Walla, thus making prop
erty owners who wish to improve the
street upon which they reside, pay
tribute in increased cost to for
eign corporation.
A majority of the property owners
on North Fourth and Elm streets
petitioned the council to pave those
streets with asphalt, but majority
of the council voted to throw their
petition into the waste basket ana
to inform the petitioners that the
Big Four would brook no interference
with their evident agreement to give
the Warren Construction company a
in this city.
A large majority of the people of
this city, irrespective of their pref
erences in the selection of paving
ma erial, are opposed to granting a
monopoly to any paving company.
Competition means lower prices and
better terms for the property owners
concerned. For this reason the Big
Four of the council are generally con-
demned for the highhanded and I'M
lawful course that they have de-
cidej to pursue. If they persist in
this course it will mean for them a
loss of public confidence for which
no smiles or favors they may receive
pany will ever compensate them.
This is still government of the
people in city, state and nation, and
men elected as public servants who
forget their obligations to the peo-
pie in their zeal to serve the inter-
ests of a greedy corporation SOW the
wind and in due season are sure to
reap the whirlwind of popular indgna
ton. Let the Big Four take heed be-
fore they go too far to retrace their
false steps.

JUDGE LEWIS AND FEDERAL
TROOpS

Judge Lewis has been pleading the
baby act on his reconstruction record.
saying he could not have voted fer
that because he was too young, not
withstanding his whole family, as well
as himself were Republicans during
these dark days. and he became 21
years Of age in 1867, during reconstruc-
ton period But be this as it may, he
has a record during the closing days of
reconstruction. He was federal Of
flee holder in the early seventies dis
trict attorney, position he recently
held. He made affidavit that federal
troops We're necessary at the polls in
Petersburg in the Tilden- Hayes cleo
ton in 1876, and troops were sent at
his suggestion, and it turned out he
had not been in the district during the
campaign. Governor Kemper, and
William f. Cameron, then Mayor OF
Petersburg, protested that troops were
not necessary, that there was no cause
for such action, yet, in spite OF all this
he insisted that troops be sent, and
they were sent. Yet he says a great
deal about honest elections i'm the
present canvass. \ politicians sins will
always find him out.
