1t developes that no agreement
was made with greensboro shippers
about reducing rates. The trouble
seems to. be that the railroad men
shrewdly couched their language in
such terms that it was misunder-
stood. After the greensboro shippers
had filed their rather extensive COM
plants, they claimed 20 have been
promised what they desired If they
would withdraw the charges, which
they sought to do. 1t developes, from
the railroad mems side of the story.
that the Greensboro men we're simply
told that before the railroads would
agree to anything, the Greensboro
men must come to them with a clean
slate" the inference being that when
this was done the railroads would
make concessions. greensboro then
attempted to "clean off the slate" by
Diminishing the charges. but did not
succeed, and the railroads denied
that any agreement existed under the
circumstances. 1t seems, however,
that in engaging in a controversy
over whether or not an agreement
was made. both sides are taking up a
great deal of time quibbling over
nothing. Let the Greensboro agree
ment or management alone, and
find out why Kentucky is discrminat-
ed against, if Kentucky really is.

THE HOTEL DANCES.

| The Fourth of July dances at the
hotels, given under the auspices of the
celebration committee with the gen.
erous cooperation of managers Church
and Gray, respectively, were the
GROWING efforts of the celebration.
Both hotels were crowded with dancers
throughout the evening and until a
late hour.
The Royal Hawaiian hotel was dec
GRATED in a manner to attract general
attention. The front Of the structure
was almost concealed with flags Of ma

United States gunboat Bennington, and
kindly loaned for the occasion by Com
mander Lucien Young. The lanafs
were prettily enclosed with bunting.
palms and ported plants. The entire
dining hall and Eva lanai were given
over to dancing, the floors being polish
ed to the smoothness of glass. One Of
the Ellis quintet clubs furnished music
for the dancing, and every number was
encored. There was a large crowd
present, with quite representation of
society folk. All the electrics of the
hotel were used to enhance the general

| But there are things to be forgotten,
there are things to be realized there
are things to be done, if Hawaii is to
take it's true position among American
communities. All former conditions
and origins are merged in the living
present. The subtle charm of memory
may be INDUCED, but the practical
situation of today is to be accepted.
Assimilation is the high road to pros
perity. Americanization is Hawaiian
destiny. Self-government has been
fairly introduced, and that means
American self-government. The para
mount rank in our population is held by
American citizens. Heterogeneousnes

should be swept into oblivion. Glass

exists, should be checked. Petty strifes,
trivial scandals, should disappear.
Parties. not factions, are the guard
ians of liberty and order, and political
antagonism should turn on principle
and not upon the lust for Office. Pro-
ductive labor is the American test and
proof of manhood. Workers and not

IN CONCLUSION.
Government, rightly understood, IN
all its departments, is an instrumental
itv for the performance of official bust
ress, with off ciai regularity and sys-
tenn. 1t should be respected and sus-
tanned by all intelligent citizens, and
of alternating personalities. Public
offices are public trusts and, while
eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty," the incumbents of public offices
should not live under constant sus-
picion and should be judged by results
and not be subjected to daily and
spectacular investigations.
These are some of the propositions
that occur to my mind as relevant to
them involve questions already part
~ SOlVed All OF tneiH, Tentatively
suggested, are perhaps worthy of some
earnest attention, at least to the extent
that they have just application. The
combined vitality of a nation is the
sum of the contributed vitality of its
divisions and subdivisions. Each part
affects the whole and the whole affects
each part. A large national life OBJ
literates or at least modifles obstruc-
tons to advancement and prosperity.
If a practical lesson can be derived
from the day we celebrate, it is that,
while the strength, the ambition, the
glory of this Republic, are poured into
our midst, our duty is compressed into
rapid and complete Americanizat ton.
The exercises concluded with the
singing of America. and the playing Of
The Star Spangled Banner by the Band.

recent article written by ex-Presldent
Grover Cleveland, printed in an east
ern newspaper, in which the ex-pres1-
dent said he was not in favor of wom-

feet Mrs. Belle c.. Barnes, a delegate
from the Coterie club of North Yakima,
who ANNOUNCED that she had written
a poem and dedicated to Grover Cleve-
land which she desired to read. The
privilege was accorded to her ana tnen
she gave the following poem:

of the Chinese-Japanese war he was
promoted to the command of vice ad-
miral Then ensued ten years of peace
and preparation for the coming con-
f1ict by which Japan has had her re-
venge upon Russia.
At the close of January, 1904, Togo
was sick. When the summons came
from the marine of marine to report
at Toxic Togo arose from his sick
bed, saying: MY illness will be heal
ed as soon as 1 mount the bridge of
my ship" Arrived at Toxic he con-
ferrei with Admiral Yamamoto, who
spoke for two hours On the coming
struggle that was inevitable between
Japan and Russia, and ended by say
ing: Il have the honor, sir, to an
nounce to you that it is the august
pleasure of his majesty the emperor,
to confer upon you the distinction of
commanding the united fleets of Nip
pon AS you see, the fate Of our coun-
try is largely in your keeping, and the
honor of the flag as well. His majes-
tvs ships are waiting for you at Sas-
ebo."
After adjusting his uniform and pull
ing himself to his full height-wnich
isn't very much--Togo said:
Il shall execute your orders"
Then there was a silence, long elo-
quent silence. Patiently, the minister
waited for his schoolmate, Togo, to
Say something more. Really, it was
embarrassing, but in a minute later
Togo, without a word, bowed himself
out.
Early on the morning of a certain
day, a little later on, Togo command
ed the officers of the Japanese navy
to assemble on the after-d deck of the
ficers was placed a "sambo," a white
wood tray which is used for sacred
purposes for supplying the offerings to
the gods, and bearing a short dagger
with which the samurai of other days
performed the rites of "kappuku.
And upon that sambo was the same old
sacred signal of samurai honor a dag
ger. Togo at last said, amid impress
sive silence:
Gentlemen, the pleasant day which
we spent on the hillside of Sasebo was
our farewell feast to our wives and to
our children, and-to life. The squad
rons will sail today. 1 have the honor
to announce to you, gentlemen, that
the enemy of our country flies the
Russian flag"
So Togo and his men went forth to
fight, with what result the world al
ready knows. He was made admiral
in June, 1904. When the emperor OF
Japan sent a message thanking Togo
for his successes off Port Arthur Togo
made this modest reply:
CAS- for the successes and achieve
ments of the united fleet in attacking
Port Arthur, they are solely due to the
august power and sovereign virtue OF
your majesty. They are beyond the
human abilities, such as ours In
spite of all your majesty has again
bestowed upon us the gracious mes
sage, and we, your majesty's subjects,
promise ourselves to strain our efforts
to the utmost to destroy the enemy"
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-06-01

one or the greatest sea ngnterS the
world has ever seen, Admiral Togo
Heihachiro, of the Japanese navy, and
the conquerer Of Makaroff, Skyrdloff,
and Rojestvensky, was born on the
14th day of the 10Th moon in the year
third son of Togo Kichizaemon, a Sa
mural and of the clan of Satsuma.
After the sacred tradition of a Sa-
mural family, his mother took the flu
ture japanese admiral to the shrine Of
the guardian deity, and placed him
upon the altar as an offering to his
country and to the scord, that he
might defend the land of the gods. Like
many another boy of a samural family,
his military training dates back far
beyond his memory. When Togo was
a mere child his country had already
laid the foundation of the present ma
val academy. In those rough hewn
days the father of all the military and
naval academies of Nippon Of today
was called the Heigakuryo, and it was
here that Togo received his profession
moto the minister Of state of the Jap
anese navy, was a class ahead of To-
go, and Admiral Ito, of Yalu fame, was
also connected with this school. Togo
was one of those boys who were sent
abroad by the government to study the
science of war. He went to England
and received his naval education on
the Thames, aboard the training ship
Worcester. Neither very brilliant nor
very bad, Togo is said to have gone
through his academic days with nun
dreds of nice, common place fellows.
Togo's first chance came in the au-
tumn of 1894, when the prospect of
war was being discussed by Toxic
diplomats. Togo was then command
er of the Naniwa, which, with her Sis
ter snip, was liesurly sailing on the
Yellow sea, off the littoral of Korea,
and suddenly the Japanese came across
Chinese cruisers escorting transports
Togo could see Chinese soldiers on the
transports, and one of them, the Kow-
shing, was flying the British flag.
Now, Togo was without instructions
from his government, but in his eyes
these ships steering for a Korean port
were as plain a declaration of war as
he cared to read. The Chinese cruis-
ers, perceiving Togo's ships, turned
and ran, and the transports followed
suit. Repeatedly the Naniwa signalled
the Kowshing to stop, but no atten-
ton was paid, for was she not fly
ing the British flag? If fired upon
might not serious International COM
plications follow? But Togo did fire
upon the transport and thus wrote an
abrupt preface to the Chino-Nippon
war. In afterwards talking upon the
incident, Togo said: Il knew that
of my country-perhaps it's very life.
And Heihachiro was quite ready to an
swer with his life AS commander of
the Naniwa, he led the Japanese
squadrons on the Yellow sea when Ad-
miral Itos ships met those of the gall
liant Admiral Ting. At Port Arthur
and also at Wei-hai-wei Togo wrote
more of his word history. At the end

Politics in the Case.

There is considerable politics in the
regency of the Agricultural college.
The active regents have an influence
with the voters at the college and their
sphere of influence extends out into
the country. Ettinger is quite active
in factional politics, and the Ankeny
following does not want to leave him
alone on the board of regents. They
want at least one of their own men on
the board to offset his influence, and
that is the reason that there is no dis
position to release the governor from
his promises.
1t is not at all certain that Law
renee wants to go on the board. He
NE has business interests that keep
him pretty busy, and the duties are not
light. But for political reasons he is
standing on the pledge the governor
gave, and will not relinquish his claim
to place. Neither will McGregor.
There is a growing feeling among
the Ankeny following that Mead is
endeaVorlng to get away from his
agreement as much because of an
eagerness to be freed from senatorial
entanglements as for anything else
He has already turned down Senator
Piles interests on several occasions
and thereby invited a future fight The
endeavor to avoid keeping faith with
the Ankeny following in Whitman
county is an effort to get away from
Ankeny entanglements.
