is MORROW MISLEADING?

Editor Statesman:-I have just
received a copy of the Walla Walla
Weekly Union, dated April 29tn, in
which the assertion is made in loaded
head lines that Mr.. Morrow is mis-
leading. 1 have known Mr.. Morrow
intimately and had business dealings
with him for the best part of 20 years
and 1 know that he has the almost
universal respect of the eastern part
of Walla Walla county, as a liberal,
broad minded, quare-dealing business
man, and a thorough gentlemen. I use
the word almost in the above SEN
tence because there are exceptions to-
all general rules, and the exceptions:
in this case are composed of just such
men as the writer of this misleading
article in the Union proves himself to.
be. Men who claim that the end JUS
titles the means; men that will do
anything and say anything without re-
gard for justice or truth, in order to
the misleading articles. The writer,
coward like, intimates Che dare not
ASSERT that Morrow sanctioned, adj
vised and solicited the interview in
the Waitsburg Gazette, stating his po-
sition in regard to the fair appropria-
ton.
The Union says that Mr.. Morrow
gave the impression that the appropri-
alton would be used for racing pur-
poses. Morrow gave mis- reason for
opposing the scheme in words and
terms that cannot honestly be con-
strued as the Union puts it. His first
and main reason was that it was il
legal, and he gave it on the advice Of
the county attorney who was elected
by the people to decide such cases.
Do we elect officers to disregard the
laws and to sanction and perpetrate
illegal schemes? If we would sneak
50 from the purse of our neighbor,
sanctioned by a committee of our fell
low Sinners and devote it to the
church Of Cod would McCaw ana
Struthers say that the end justified
the mans?
The Union makes McCaw say, IF
Mr.. Morrow is so narrow as to oppose
a matter of this kind for parsimonious
reasons, ETC." Mr.. Morrow dis
tinctly said that the $1,000 was
a small thing to the county,
but that in giving it to
private concern was illegal. He had no
right to misappropriate that sum by
making the appropriation. And, I
think that if he had done so, he would
have stood on the same plane with
he that would steal 81 to give to the
church. And, l want to say right here
that if Mr. Morrow had made himself
a party in that job he could not have
been elected after this for dog pelter
at Bolles Junction, for he would have
his constituents VINO put
him in office to make just the fight ne
IS making. 1t would be a good thing
If the voters of Walla Walla county
would read our officials a statutary
essen by seeing that the $4,000 stays
n the county treasury and that some
If our officials, who seem to have had
n the past a penchant for misappro-
oriated appropriations, are quietly rel
,gated to eternal desuetude.

The Renewal of
Projected Railroad Franchises.

The action Of the City Council in
renewing the two franchises for the
projected railroads from Pensacola
70 Memphis and to Andalusia is the
proper thing to do.
These franchises recently expired
by limitation, but as the projectors of
the roads had not been able to begin
work within the required time they
ask for an extension with the expecta-
ton Of beginning the work in the near
future.
1t has probably occurred to numer-
Gus people that if Pensacola had a
railroad for every railroad franchise
which she has granted she would to-
day be the biggest railroad town in
America. That, however. is not the
point.
Pensacola has never lost anything
by granting railroad franchises anu
she stands a big chance of gaining
something. If nothing results from
the granting Of a franchise nothing
certainly is lost, so that we have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose.
Let the council grant all the fran
chises that are asked for and let the
present renewal of the recently ex-
pired franchises be made as soon as
possible.

Mr.. John Hyde. crop statistical u
the department of agriculture, says he
resigned under fire rather chan risk
the loss of health by holding on to
his job. There will not be profound
regret that he came to that conclu-
sion. He doesn't seem to have all
the qualifications for filing the place
successfully.
There is nothing TO show that he
hasn't been an honest official, and It
is probable that from his point of view
he has been faithful and conscientious
in the discharge of his duties, but
he didn't prevent spectators from
finding what his reports indicated be-
fore he was ready to communicate
them TO the public. Hence, the pro-
fessional spectators were possessed
of potent means of robbing the pub.
lie.
Mr. Hyde says that there have been
five Investigations of his bureau since
he succeeded in making his crop re-
ports sufficiently accurate to be valu-
able to the agricultural and CONNER
cial interests OF the country, and that
on each occasion he has been vindi-
Gated.
He was indicated to the extent that
he was honest and did the best he
knew how to protect the interests in
trusted TO him, but he must admit
that it finally developed that there
was a leak in his bureau. He GER
tainly cannot claim that the dismissal
of his associate, Holmes, was vindI-
cation.
The position of statistican of the
Agricultural department is not an en-
viable one. No man can occupy 1t
without inviting attacks. Millions OF
dollars depend upon every crop report
that is issued. One interest wants
favorable report and another an I'M
favorable one. Both cannot be pleas
ed, and the one that is disappointed
is certain to do all it can to make
trouble.
One reason for the feeling against
Mr. Hyde was the stubboTnnesS VITA
which he insisted there was no leak
in his bureau, and, that too, in the
face of the facts that were calculated
to raise a strong suspicion of a leak.
If he had made a thorough investiga-
ton and failed to find the leak, the
feeling against him wouldn't have
been so strong.
His successor, whoever he may be,
will have about the same experience
that he had. but If he wants to hold
on to his job he will not follow Mr..
Hyde's example when he is notified
that the spectators are getting his
reports before they are officially pub
lished. He will proceed on the sup.
position that there Is leak, and will
try to find it.

Mr.. WALLACE SHOULD
STATE HIS CASE.

The Taft-Wallace controversy re.
fuses to be downed, and the latest fea.
ture of 1t is the intimation that Mr..
Wallace will soon tell a few things
relative to the plans for digging the
Panama canal which the administra.
ton would much prefer kept secret.
The Birmingham Ledger has the fol.
lowing to say relative to this phase OF
the matter:
There is a quiet story abroad in the
land that there are engineering diff
culties at Panama that make a lock
canal impossible. The story is that
Engineer Wallace told Mr.. Taft of the
difficulties, and that he was not will
ing to have the responsibility rest on
him Of attempting what could not be
done.
1t is also said that the other great
engineers of the country are urging
Mr.. Wallace to tell the conditions and
difficulties, so that their profession
may not rest under the frown of the
nation as Mr.. Taft wishes. Mr.. Taft
did not tell the public what Mr.. Wal
lace told him, and the engineers want
all the facts brought out.
No great harm will be done If the
lock i0ea is abandoned. The most
satisfactory plan viii be the one ulti-
mately adopted sea level canal.
No matter if difficulties are encoun-
tered a sea level canal can be cut. It
may cost some millions, but it can be
done.
Any way, Mr.. Wallace should tell
the public the difficulties he encoun-
tered. for there are people who think
that he was in error some way or Mr..
TAFT would not have scolded him so
severely in such a public manner. II
was probably only a case Of bad tenn
per, but the public would like to know.
and the administration doesn't seem
inclined to tell il.
The public In general has by no
means lost confidence in the ability
Of Slr. Wallace as an engineer. how
ever much they may believe he acted
wrongly in resigning the position of
chief engineer so soon after having
accepteI it, and, in view OF all the
circumstances, it is to be hoped that
he will tell his side Of the story with
out delay. The public is entitled to il.

EAST COAST EXTENSION
INJURIOUS TO MIAMI.
Miami Record.

The Evening Record is not now, nor
ever has been opposed to the building
of the extension of the East Coast
railroad to Key, West. 1t would, prob
ably. make no difference if it was.
No community, no individual, can
stand in the way of a great public i'm
provement.
It is probable that in the plans Of
those who projected and have built the
East Coast railway ana who propose
to continue it down the keys to the
extreme end of the chain of islands,
Miami is and has been nothing more
than an incident.
Those who built on seeming promis-
es that this city should always be the
southern terminal of the road were
building on a foundation of sand, the
same as every other town on the east
coast that relied on the statements OF
the roads projectors.
Whether the extension of the road
to Key West will be a benefit or an
injury to this city will not be deter
mined until the road is completed ana
in operation. No human being can
tell exactly what influence the extern
sion will have.
Every citizen of Miami has too much
at stake to take any chances.
The wisest thing is for every man
who loves and is interested in the
town to do is to conclude that the ex-
tension will injure Miami, and govern
himself accordingly.
The road is going on to Keay West
that is settled.
Now, what are we going to do about
it?
Practically, there are three things
that will make for the prosperity Of
Miami. if we can secure them.
The first is the opening up, by drain
age and otherwise, of the vast amount
of arabic land directly tributary to
this city.
The second is the speedy opening
up of a deep water canal. by which
cheap transportation may be secured
to northern ports.
The third is by railroad reaching
from this city, through the center OF
the state to Jacksonville and points
north.
Not one of these propositions is
chimerical; not one but what can be
accomplished by effort.
Miami is strong enough to assist
herself and should promulgate a de-
claration of independence, firmly re-
solving that she will establish more
than one route by which connection
may be established with the outside
world.
The building of the road to the south
of us ought to convince mistaken
frienos of the road that neither Miami
or her people have any place that in
sures her or them the friendship or
support of the managers of the great
system, now pushing to the south.
We don't have it; we never have had
had it; we never will have it.
If salvation is to come to Miami, ii
will come only after her citizens have
determined that they will cut loose
from a system that exists only by
bleeding them, and secure other and
fairer methods Of transportation.

sETandle with Care"

If you send a package marked Han
die With Care by freight, the railway
employees will take every opportunity
to tumble it around and dump it on the
depot platform as though it were a
bale of hay. We once saw a railroad
employee so sick he could scarcely hold
up his head, but when his wandering
eye happened to fall on a package
marked Handle With Care he arose
with an expiring effort and threw the
blamed thing the length Of the depot
platform, danced upon it, then shrielled
and died."-Alma (Kan.) Signal.

PEARY AT The POLE

He'll hear no graphophones up there
Nor cheap musicians play;
He will not have to hurry out
Of some collectors way.
The trolley cars will be forgot
And in broad fields of ice
Therell be no need for soda founts
Or girls who say, How nice"
Most all the ills of modern life
He'll leave back in the rear
No wonder that he sails away
Without a single tear!
The trusts will scarcely bother him,
No matter what they do;
A frost's about the only thing
To make him think he's blue.
Free from the bores and worldly cranks
Far from the madding crowd,
He hopes to turn ticklish trick
To make the nation proud.
OF course he's glad to get away
And wears an aspect bold
Because the worst he has to face
Is just bit of cold.

Paul Jones As a Pirate.

In the reception room The secretary
of the navy at Washington a collection
of steel engravings of John Paul Jones
is on exhibition. Most Of them are
more than a hundred years old. Sew
aral of them are caricatures. They
were mostly made in England at the
time Jones's raids on the English coast
created so much fear and anger.
Generally he is represented In these
cartoons as a pirate. In one he is the
typical buccaneer of the Spanish Main.
with long black hair and beard stream
ing in the breeze. He carries a cut
lass in one hand and big pistol in
his belt. He wears a leather apron,
on which is a skull and crossbones.
In another the commodore is repre-
sented as a Chinese pirate in the act
of scuttling a ship. In addition 10 his
equipment or pistols he has lot Of
Sattleaxes and is surrounded by
breastwcrk of dead men.
One OF the engravings Is a portrait
of Jones in the uniform of a Russian
Admiral. and there are several repre-
senting him in the uniform OF the
