Among the suggestions offered to
Sec. Bonaparte for the betterment of
discipline at Annapolis is q plan to
have boys begin their training for u
naval career two years before they ac-
tually enter the academy. This time is
to be spent in sailing all over the world
and familiariZing themselves with life
on the ships and getting acquaillte 4
with each other and settling differences
OF opinion which might result i'll Sc
rious hazing if the boys were on land.
The secretary Of the navy does not
think faVorahly of this plan and Will
not recommend it to Congress. He be-
lieves the discipline at Annapolis Will

Congress for the graduated punishment

ONLY A CASE OF SOUR GRAPES

The little Boxer dodger playing the
role of the Pharisee looks down upon
the two real newspapers of the city
from the high pedestal of its own
vanity and conceit and says: Il am
holier than thou" The dodger says
that it is the only paper in the city
that dares to express an opinion of
its own. when in fact every utterance
is dictated or actually written by one
of the bunch of unlucky thirteen that
brought out a candidate for mayor in
opposition to Mayor Hunt.
dsliked very much to attack his old
friend and associate, Gilbert Hunt,
in order to hold the support of his
new-found allies.
The manager of the dodger has al
ways belonged to some political ma
chine and he has never scrupled at
would subserve the interests of his
boss or his own personal interests.
His pretended adherence of all polit-
ical machines at this time is mere
~ another instance of a sly fox de-
claring that the grapes beyond his
reach are sour and not fit to eat

took all the grapes that the machine

then he has been an Ishmaelite with
his hand raised against every man
with whom he was associated in his

DEATH OF MRS. TANNER,
Coroner's Jury Says 1t Was Due to
Chauffeur.

HELENA, Mont, July 4.-The coro-
James Tanner, commander of the
Grand Army, who was killed in an au-
tomobile accident last Friday, returned
a verdict today that Mrs Tanner came
to her death while riding in an automo-
bile running at high rate of speed, as
the result of a defective roadway and
and poor judgment on the
part of the Chauffeur in trying to pass
team with too small margin.

BUILDING INSPECTOR MAKES REPORT
Permits Issued During June TotaIed
Over Thirty Thousand Dollars
For New Buildings.

City Building Inspector Glasford re-
ported to the council last night that he
had issued permits in June to erect
buildings in Walla Walla for the to-
tai amount Of 10000. The detailed re-
port is as follows:
VIM. Walsh cottage, $1,000; C. Dohl-
ner, cottage, $1,000; Hotchkiss Davis &
Co., stable, $500; Whithouse Co., lum-
Der shed, $500; Jesse Drumheller, add.
500; G. Mcleod, cottage, $500; John
M. Nancy, cottage, $500; Clinton Nell
son. cottage, $1,000; ]. X. Wilson, resi-
dence, $1,000 E. J. Argo, cottage, 1880;

thralldom of the machine and did not
express his own sentiments. In fact
every one familiar with the conditions
at that time knows that the author of
the article took much pride in his
character sketch and insisted that it
was true to life. At that time the
author was chairman of the republi-
can county central committee and
was himself the boss of the local
machine That position he occupied
through his own seeking and not I'M
der any coercion or compulsion from
the machine. His aim was to be big
boss and it was his overweening am
bition in that line that brought him
into conflict with the chief boss and
led to his being deposed as county
chairman. No one was ever given a
freer hand with the morning paper,
and as a rule his editorials were en-
tirely free from censorship. The edi-
torlal on Councilman Kirkman was
undoubtedly the free expression Of the
editors own personal views and it
was so regarded by Kirkman at Tho
time, and for more than six months
he cherished bitter resentment
against the author.
Now, however. Kirkman has evil
IDENTIFY been persuaded that the man.
agement of the Statesman was re-
sponsible for the editorial in the first
place and he serves notice through
the organ of the man who wrote the
editorial that he will not stand for
any vilification. Since reading that
warning there has been fear and
trembling in the Statesman office and
every employee has been armed with a
glue pot to resist the threatened as
sault by the doughty councilman
from the Third ward.
Councilman Kirkman says that it
was a shame and an outrage for the
Statesman to republish that unjust,
untrue and uncalled for" editorial of
LOTIONS on Kirkman's alleged JekyN
and Hyde methods as a politician. 1t
was indeed a shame, for it is always
deplorable to speak anything but
good of the dead

HUNT WILL GET BIG MAJORITY.

The consensus of opinion among
business men is that Mayor Hunt will
be reelected by a big majority. All
the charges made against him have
been refuted and have proven to be
deadly boomerangs for their authors.
The business men and taxpayers of
the city generally recognize the fact
that the city has never before grown
and prospered as it has during the
four years of Mayor Hunts admins
tration, and they know that much of
the city's progress has been 6ue to
the initiative, suggestion and active
labors of the able chief executive OF
the city Mayor Hunt has given Wal
la Walla a big boost toward Bccom-
ing an important city. and it would
be the height of folly to dispense
with his services at this time when
so many public improvements that
he has planned are in course of con-
struction or soon to be undertaken.
Such an able and faithful public
servant as Mayor Hunt has proven
himself to be should be continued in
office just as long as he can be pre-
vailed upon to remain at the head of
the city government. Present lndlca-
tions are that the mayor will be given
an overwhelming and emphatic in
dorsement by the voters of Walla
Walla next Monday.

The State to Raise Forests.

The Massachusetts, state forester Is
looking for new laws to encourage the
growth Of more lumber in this state.
His leading proposition is that the tax
laws be so amended that there viii Be
no discrimination against growing tim
Der as compared with other farm crops.
He also asks that funds be set aside for
the purchase Of lands throughout the
state, that they may be taken care Of
while trees grow on them, and that
the be called the state forest. In the
same connection, he thinks The state
should be allowed to accept the gift
of such land. II looks like the state
going into the lumber business, but the
forester has an idea that even that is
not SO bad IS allowing the winds to
blow over the bits of land which are
now useless, and he hopes to be able
to make trees grow where there are
none now, with the prospect OF much
wealth developing TO the state In the
course Of time. He would not like it
SO well il he knew that towns might
insist on the state paying taxes on that
land.--Worcester, Mass, Telegram.

PESTS OF JOURNALISM.

There was an item appearing in our
last weeks issue stating the birth Of
a son to Mr.. and Mrs. Blank New Years
day, but we wish to say that there was
no birth at the Blank house. It was
Just as given to US by one who appears
to have been misinformed
The above appeared in one Of our Yer.
mont exchanges last week, and ii Illus.
trates on small scale what the news.
papers have to contend with. There
are two classes of people with whom
newspaper editors unfortunately have
to deal--the really misinformed, who
think they know, and the Smart Alexis,
who take the newspaper as a means
for perpetrating what they consider to
be fine joke. The contemporary in
this case deals very leniently with the
giver of the item, undoubtedly knowing
the source to be above mean, low.lived
tricks. But the item has all the ear
marks of the Smart Aleck, who feasts
his rapacious pettiness on Just such bits
Of news" chuclSling in gIee when the
item appears in public print. The Smart
Alecks generally try to conceal their
identity by means of anonymous com.
munications, and for that reason most
editors refuse to publish articles com.
ing to the Office unsigned, for the rea-
son that no person, reputable or other.
wise, can be made accountable for them.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1906-01-15

II is . wise rule. But when the Smart
Aleck does have the temerity to give
his name along with the item and The
item is found to be false, he should
not be shielded ii the least. Indeed,
it would be only giving him part Of
his desserts to publish this name along
with the correction, with the informa.
tion that he Cor, It may be possible,
she1 was the spreader Of tile false re-
port. Then lat public sentiment and
public scorn DO the rest.
However, ii the case specifically re-.
ferred to, the editor, judging from his
explanation, was dealing with the 9th
len class, containing those who think
they know and who know nothing. I'm
fortunately they are as numerous as
that other pest Of newspaper publishing
and have to be dealt with. There Is
one CLEAN Of hope in their case and that
is, when once detected IN error, they

ion and whatever else Of news they
turn in il subjected to closest scrutiny

temporary to place on the suspicious
list the dissemination Of the item in
