The Redmond company last night
appeared at the Stat theater, when

LIAR" was given to large audience.
Tonight the company returns to the
keylor Grand where that splendid

the character early in the week, say
that it is the best they have seen.
Mr.. Redmond has a peculiar percep-

and ably assisted by his capable COM
pany the production tonight gives
promise of the best given by the

the Walla Walla weather office show
cry weather for the next few dave

the weather Office was in an cratic
mood today and moved swiftly up and
down with the varying pressure, in
dicating atmospheric disturbances
and rain. Seventeenth undredths Of

early this morning, bringing the to-
tai rainfall for the six days of Octo-
Der up to .2S of an inch. This morn

Anthenaeum Society Held Session Last
Night.
The Anthenaeum Literary society
held the banner meeting of the year
last night. Most of the old members
came out in the rain and several new
students visited the society. Four from
among the best of the students who
entered Whitman this year sent in
their names to join. The debate was
on the question of government own
ership of railroads. Perringer and
Woodward succeeded in convincing
the judges that this policy should be
adopted in spite of the efforts of Gill
lis and O'Neill to convince them to the
contrary. w. Boldly, H. Coleman and
]. Allen were judges. A humorous
reading by Louis Sutherland and two
songs by the Anthenaeum quartet,
Thomason, Coleman, Ryan and Liv-
ingood, completed the program.

mandingly strong as well. Her foot
has grown also, and she no longer has
any objection to asking for the size
of shoe she really wears, because hav-
ing considerable use for her feet she
has abandoned the idea of confining
them in adequate shoes. The same
applies to gloves. The only question
with the English woman nowadays
is whether she will grow too big
and strong to have man for her
protector. This is a practical ques-
ton in view of the army statistics,
which show that the English man is
decreasing in height, in muscular de-
velopment and in endurance power.

VOCIFEROUS FOR ROOSEVELT.

The farther the campaign in Ohio
progresses the more does the suspicion
grow that the republican state ticket
does well to lean on the strength o1
Roosevelt rather than upon it's own
merits.
There is a growing impression that
Governor Herrick is not his own man
but has fallen under the influence OF
the Cincinnati boss. George B. Cox
who received such an excoriating from
Lincoln J. Steffens recently that ne
fairly boiled in his alleged indigna-
ton, but who, when he had cooled off
from the magazines pretty plain in
situations of corruption.
Governor Herrick is a rich banker
who was neither a practical" nor a
reform politician. He was one OF
those social politicians who occasion
ally get foreign ambassador
ships as reward for their
persistency. He was one of the
syndicate which rescued Gov
ernor Mckinley when he was ruined
by the failure of a manufacturing con-
Germ. From that time dated his
yearning to be governor, an ambition
which was finally recognized two
years ago. Now he is a candidate for
reelection and mas opened his cam
paign with a ringing CALI to the peo-
pie to stand by President Roosevelt.
Meanwhile the democrats are send
ing out a few calls themselves, which
nor's heart. They want to know among
other things why the state last year
paid $4,000 contrary to law for tele-
phone tollsand also how many OF
these bills represented conversations
between the governor and George B
Cox during the legislative session. The
democrats have sowed the state with
charges that the republican admins
tration is saturated with graft and
that it is subservient to the Cincinnati
boss to a shameful extent. They
charge that the legislature and gov
ernor We're aligned against the people
in an effort to give the state canals to
company in which Governor Herrich
and George B. Cox We're stockholders
These canals are capable of being
turned into railroad terminals worth
millions. The scheme was defeated by
show of force on the part of the
public.
The temperance people are also sore
upon Herrick for his complacency to-
ward the brewers and here again it is
supposed that he is too close to George
B. Cox, who is hand in glove with the
big brewing interest of Cincinnati.
Taking it altogether it looks very
much as though the republican state
ticket is getting more out of its
vociferous loyalty to Roosevelt than 1.
the president.

ADJUSTMENTS
CHAPERONES DREW BIG AUDI.
ENCE.
Is Fairly Good Musical Comedy Re.
pIete With Pretty Girls.

An audience almost as large as greet
ed the Girl from Kays' was present
at the Keylor Grand last night to wit
ness the production of 1.-THE Chaper-
one" On the whole THE Chaperons" is
good musical comedy, replete with
pretty girls finely costumed and a
few stars that won generous applause
from the big audience.
John Price, as Algeron O'Shaunnes-
sey, the man who was studying rapid
transit in Paris, was easily the star
of the evening, although Harry Ladell,
as Scnnitzell, the bill poster, was
roundly applauded for his clever aero
batic work and inimitable acting. The
plot, what there is of it, is woven
around the efforts of Signor Ricardo
Bassani, to organize an opera COM
pany to tour Egypt. The rub comes in
getting Adam Hogg, a pork packer of
Chicago to finance the production.
Frank Hoolery made only a fair Hogg,
but the support was quite good. Ar
mantle Dedincourt, managing director
of the English and Continental Order
Of Trained Chaperons, carried off the
leading part fairly well. Miss Doris
Goodwin as Biolet Smilax, ward
of Hogg's, made hit with her singing,
but her lines were rather amateurish at
times. Tom, as ViOlet's lover, was
good.

FORAKER STANDS PAT.
Senator Is Antagonistic to President
Roosevelt on Rate Law,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-Sena-
tor Foraker's speech at Bellefontaine,
Ohio, Saturday, in which he opened the
republican state campaign, is regarded
in Washington as the most important
political declaration of the season.
That the senator would take a stand
against a general revision of the tariff
and in opposition to reciprocity except
IN non-c competitive products, was not
surprising, as he has always been
counted among the supporters of the
'stant-pat' policy.
Interest in his speech, therefore, cen.
tiers almost entirely in his utterances
of the subject of railway legislation.
and these utterances are given par
tlcular significance by the fact that Mr..
Foraker is one of the most forceful
members of the senate committee on
interstate commerce, and will certainly
take prominent part in the framing
OF any measure looking to the further
regulation of railways that may be re-
ported from that committee.
Antagonist to President.
The speech is being commented on
mere as placing the Ohio senator In
antagonism to the president on the
railroad question. If the position of
Mr. Roosevelt has not changed since he
wrote his message of last year. this is.
TO certain extent true He and Sem
ator Foraker stand side by side in op-
position to rebates, to the abuses grow
ing out of the private freight car and
private terminal systems, and to unjust
Determinations.

idea is to have the winner of the inter-

result of a feeling among the stu

| in the first generation, and it may not.
1t may not show at all for many gen.
erations, but patience and constant at
tention will finally be rewarded in the
survival of the most beautiful and the
most precious, or the fittest, which
ever you may wish to call it.
Environments Part.
| In child rearing, environment is
equally essential with heredity. Mind
you, did not say that heredity is of
no consequence, it is the great factor
and often makes environment almost
powerless. When certain hereditary
tendencies are almost indelibly in
grained, environment will nave hard
| task to effect a change in the child, but
that change can be wrought by the
surroundings we all know. The par
ticular subject may be at first stub
born against these influences, but re-
peated application to the same modify
ing forces in succeeding generations
will at last accomplish the desired OBJ
ject.
''Tne child is like a cut diamond in
it's many facets receiving sharp. clear
impressions not possible to a plant
with this difference, however, that the
change wrought becomes constitutional
and ingrained. 1t is the most suscepti-
BILE thing in the world to influence. and
if that force be applied rightly and
constantly when the child is in it's
greater receptive condition, the effect
will be pronounced, immediate and per-
manent.
Work on Tots Temper.
There is no doubt that if a child
with vicious temper be placed in an
environment of peace and quiet the
temper will change. Put boy born of
gentle white parents among Indians
and he will grow up like an Indian.
Let the child born of criminal parents
have setting of morality and decency
and the chances are that he will not
grow into a criminal but to an upright
man.
L do not say that heredity will not
sometimes assert itself, of course
When the criminal instinct crops out
in an individual it disappears if en-
vironment were leveled to the ground,
but in succeeding generations the eff
feet of constant higher environments
will not fail to become fixed

HOPE FOR PERFECT RACE.
Wizard Burbank, Talking About Babies
Says Future Holds Great Promise.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-Luther
Burbank at a dinner last night, given
in his honor by the California state
board of trade, expressed himself pub
licly for the first time on the care and
treatment of children in relation to the
broader view of environment and Sc
lection on the human race. Mr. Bur-
gank's speech created a profound i'm
preston. He said:
"Biologica1ly considered, each hu-
man being is only an inside expression
of the great tree of human life, and
what shall say to you this evening is
in the belief that any subject is better
understood when seen from several
slightly different points of view.
1.-THE great questions at stake are:
Which mas the more influence in build
ing the life of a child, heredity or en-
vironment? And, are acquired charac-
tiers inherited?
Sum of Environments.
my own observations prove that all
characters that are inherited have once
been acquired and that heredity is only
the sum of all these past environments
which, if impressed on the heredity
long and strong enough in any specific
direction, will become a part of hered-
ity itself, and this new heredity, al
ready slightly changed by these late
environments, will have to meet new
environments as before which will, by
repetition, become fixed in the ever
new and constantly fiuctuating hereii-
ty.
Did you ever think what is the most
pliable and most precious product of
all the ages? 1t is not pigs, mules,
books or locomotives; cotton or corn
but children. Children cannot be treat
ed all alike; each has his or her special
individuality, which is the most valu-
able of all endowments. If all were
alike no progress could be made, and
right here comes the weakest point in
the present educational systems.

cate complexity of the action of heredi-
tary and environmental forces on life.
both in plants and in man, and these
comparisons and deductions came
clearly, sharply and naturally.
1T has been said that to improve
a child we should begin with the grand
parents. This is only half truth,
which, perhaps, had better never have
been said. Do not waste any Of your
time on grandparents unless you COM
mence on them in earliest, pliabIe
childhood.
If we hope for any improvement of
the human race we must begin with
the child, as the child responds more
readily to environment than any Great
ure in existence. The change may come
