on the spellbinders and votegetters
will predominant. Until now it mas
been a still hunt for votes with but
meagre results.
1t is up to the people this fali 70
make a choice of candidates for ONCE
who will do things. The time for radi-
cal craftsmanship in local elections has
gone by. Independence in selection OF
the best men for the Offices, regardless
of who nominated them, will prevail to
great degree next election day.
It should not be a campaign to VIC
tory for party bosses. It should be
a victory of the people-of the voters
who have thrown off the crushing
burden of bossism and have the FORE
sight and courage to vote for the In
dividual candidate and not for the
ring Of bosses.
The singing rebuke by the repub-
licans to the curbstone bosses. the
KEGS ring and the Evening Bunc''
gang was a demonstration Of what the
majority thought Of the efforts Of the
gang to get back into power. But 1t
was a lesson not thoroughly learned
"a lesson which must be repeated at
the polls next month.
After turning down the ringsters at
the primaries, the voters were as
founded to learn that such creatures
of the curbstone bosses as Otto Rupp
and Walter Cadman had been nomin-
ated at the dictation of the Evening
Bunc" and Warden Frank KEGS, the
very men the voters sought to bury
for good and all at the primaries.
These nominations, coming on the
trickisters, disgusted many who were
responsible for the splendid battle put
up. It was a surrender Of principles,
shameful trading of the fruits of
victory which demonstrated that a
stronger lesson is needed at the polls.
This lesson will be given. Reason
able men will not admit the necessity
of compromising with the corrupt
ward heelers. They cannot understand
why men, whose only claim to politi-
cal standing is their ability to carry
the tenderloin votes, should be re-
stored to a power always corruptly
used.
The Statesman's prediction is that
the largest independent vote ever cast
in Walla Walla will mark the COM
ing election.

WANT TO see HOME BEFORE DEATH
Greek and Filipino Laborers Will Go
"Lons Road Before They Take
the "Short Road"

In order that they may see their
loved ones once more and that they
may be among friends when they die
County Health Officer Martin and
Manager A. H. Wright, Of the Asso-
ciated Charities, have arranged to
send James Pappas back to his home
in Greece and Jose Felix to his
friends and relatives in the Philippine
islands.
The stories of the two young men
are almost Identical. Lured to the
United States by the tales of the high
wages paid here for common labor
ers, they left their homes in the
Southland and drifted North. Pappas
said goodbye to his friends and rela-
tives and smilingly told them that he
would return in time with much
wealth so that his aged parents would
have, to work no longer, while the
youth from the islands expected to
amass fortune here and return t.
wed the young woman Of MS choice
who is waiting for him at Manila.
The two drifted to Bellingham
about eight months ago, after being
in various parts of the country for
several months. They found employ
ment as laborers in local mills along
the waterfront and worked hard and
industriously. They came from coun-
tries, however, that did not fit them
for the hardships they had to en-
dure, and before long the exposure
and the labor to which they were
not used, gradually broke them down.
They first developed colds and then
their weak frames soon fell victims
to the dread white plague.
Three weeks ago Felix was forced
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-10-18

to give up work and apply to the
county authorities for medical aid
He was admitted to st. Josepn's hos
pital where he has since been a pa
tient. AS soon as it can be arranged
Manager Wright will have him sent
back to the land of his nativity aboard
one of Uncle Sans army transports
so that no expense will be attached
to the county.
Through the efforts of DR.. Martin
the local and Seattle Greeks interest
ed themselves in the case of young
Pappas who has been ill at st. Luke's
hospital for a week, and this after
noon he started on his long journey
and he hopes to reach his home and
see his friends once more before he
dies, and that he may be buried in his
native land.
Both cases are regarded as hope
less by the physicians. Pappas is %
years of age, while Felix is not yet
%.

Yesterday morning he was discov-

HAS BLOOD POISONING.
Whitman Football Player is Laid Up
With Bad Foot,

Radford w. Rigsby, one of the most
prominent athletes in Whitman COL
lege, is rapidly recovering from an
attack of blood poisoning in the right
foot.
Rigsby received a slight abrasion to
his foot two weeks ago from the
caulks on his football shoes which
went unnoticed for several days, final
ly becoming very painful. Medical at
tention was obtained and the athlete
has been confined to his bed for over
a week.
He expects to be around again in a.
like length of time but will not be
able to go to Oregon with the football
team next week.
His place as fullback will probably
be taken by Tommie butcher.

CONSUMER PAYS AS USUAL

Some years ago, when the trusts
were first accused of being the crea-
lures of the tariff, it was replied that
that could scarcely be, since free-trade
them. Now that the tariff is accused
Of being the cause of underselling
abroad, or the dumping" process, as
it is called, the high tariffites reply
that this can scarcely be, since free
trade England is more characterized
by dumping than our own country.
Ernest E. Williams, an English
economic writer, has been looking up
the subject and reports to the Ameri-
can Economist that the system is
quite common in Great Britain. He
gives instances which discount any
discoveries about American watches
sold abroad and reimported to be sold
in competition with the home price
after paying freight and import duty.
In the electrical trades price cutting
is common. Nottingham laces are
sold for less in Australia than in Lon
don. Bradford, the nome of wooden
manufactures habitually sells cheaper
abroad than at home. Bicycles, Shelf
field steel goods, Scotch coal, British
iron and steel go the same way, says
the Minneapolis Journal.
The simple explanation, says Mr..
Williams, is the fierce competition
that is to be met abroad. "An anxious
seller takes the best price he can
get"
All this must be very comforting
to the buyer in non manufacturing
ing countries to compete for his market
curious fact about it is that Mr.. Will
liams attributes the price cutting
abroad on the part Of British manu-
facturers to their lack of a protected
market at home The wonder is, then.
what is the cause of the same process
in America? 1t cannot be lack Of a
protected market. American manufac-
turers would probably say it was the
necessity of getting their share of the
worlds market for their surplus. to
keep their shelves cleared and their
hands employed. Yet the fact seems
to stand out that it is not the enter
prise of our manufacturers which cap
lures the markets of the world. It is
the patience of the American consumer
VINO pays the manufacturer a cash
bonus in protected home prices to en-
able him to carry on his campaign
abroad.
Meanwhile, if these explanations be
true, and it is the rule for the home
consumer in both the free trade and
the protected countries, to pay higher
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-10-18

prices than are charged to the foreign
consumer, the question arises: What is
the advantage Of developing home in
dustries? Why wouldn't it be better
to let other countries do the manufac-
turing and, as a result of their stin
competition with each other, buy OF
them at lower prices than we can buy
from our home manufacturers? If this
be the condition of things throughout
the world, that the exporter of manu-
featured goods must sell them cheaper
abroad than he can afford to sell them
at home, that country which has NO
nome industries to maintain and with
an open market can take advantage Of
the rivalry Of foreign manufacturers
would seem to be most favorably stu
ated. But nobody believes that. No.
body believes that it would be a good
thing for America to lose her indus.
trial activities. So it must be that the
theory here advanced by the English
economic writer Is not conclusive and
there must be some other influences
operating in England conducive tt
higher prices than are acceptable
abroad.

Getting It Bad.
Woll0uro Chioffar

Everybody in Enterprise is catching
the roller-skate craze. As we go to
press the doctors have been unable to
discover any remedy for the rapidly
spreading malady, which seizes old
and young alike, and is even more con-
tagious than the smallpox or the
mumps or scarlet fever or the measles
Or the chicken pox or graybacks. Bare
ly enough people Of the city have es-
capped the craze to carry on the bust
ness of the town, by working short
handed, and it is feared that the re-
naming few will fall victims to the
fever before it passes over.
