REDUCING RAILROAD RATES.

Railroad officials say that the pro-
posed reduction of rates by the WASH
ington state commission would mean
little to individuals, while it would
remove a large slice from the earn
ings of the railroads.
1t is the same way with taxes An
extra mill levied on property is hardly
felt by an individual. and it brings
a nice little sum into the public treas
ury Just the same we try to keep
taxes down to the lowest possible point.

demand that our boards of tax levy do

TO CLEAN THE CITY.

The campaign inaugurated by the
Fifty Thousand club to make of Walla
Walla THE City Beautiful" is most
commendable and deserves the hearty
and active support of every man. wom-
an and child in the city. While Walla
has many beautiful streets and
many attractive hooks, it also has its
share of dirt filth and debris that could
well be spared for both aesthetic and
sanitary reasons
1t would be hard to find a street in
the city that is not married by some I'M
slightly or disagreeable feature, such as
a barn abutting on the sidewalk, ILL
smelling cOwsheds or chicken cOOps,
piles of brush, weeds, tin cans, old
shoes and other refuse and debris
There is hardly an alley in the city
that can be said to be in a thoroughly
clean and sanitary condition. Nor can
it be said that all the filth and rubbish
are to be found on Poverty Flat or in
the districts of the city where the less
aff1uent and pretentious people live.
Many of the worst smelling dung heaps
and garbage piles may be found in the
best residence sections of the city.
Russiatown, or Little ST. Petersburg
along Garrison creek, with it's well-kept
sidewalks has made Improvement and
progress in the last few years that
might well put some of the Weather
districts of the city to the blush.
The city council might aid the work
of cleaning up the city by purifying the
filthy and loathsome environs of the
city hall. There is no filthier spot in
the city than Rose street alley and
Chinatown, and the council would win
the plaudits of a large majority of the
citizens of Walla Walla if it would
show the courage to force a cleaning
up and renovation of this fit breeding
place for pestilence and contagion.
The Fifty Thousand club might well
start its campaign for a clean city by
calling upon the city council to purge
its surroundings of filth and rotten
ness. Let the Augean stables be clean.
ed, even if it is found necessary tC
initiate the example of Hercules in
turning a river through them to wash
the filth away. Mill creek is available
for the purpose.
The Statesman bespeaks for the
Fifty Thousand club the cooperation OF
all the people of Walla Walla in this
effort to make this city clean and beau
tiful, city of which every resident
may be proud.

ELECTING A CITY COUNCIL.

The Chicago Chronicle quite sagely
remarks that it is of far more impor-
lance that Chicago should have a good
council than that it should have a good
mayor 1t is, and it is more difficult
thing to get because of the ward sys-
tenn which frequently enables the
grafters to dictate both nominations
in a majority of the wards. The peo-
pie of the cities have for years been
fighting a losing fight for civic reform
because they We're shooting at the
wrong mark. They have fired their
heavy artillery against candidates for
mayor, and when they succeeded in
defeating one whose personality SEEM
ed Objectionable, have retired to their
homes confident that they had accom-
plished something. In most cases they
allow the corporations to run off with
the council under cover of the smoke
and din of the mayoralty campaign.
The ideal administration, of course,
would be a good mayor working in
harmony with a good council; but the
council is the foundation. 1t the coun-
ell is devoted to devious methods of
doing business the mayor is. as a rule,
powerless to stop the loot. On the
other hand, Chicago's own case shows
how easily a council endowed with
common sense may hold up a Eighty
executive Mayor Dunno has been a
year trying to plunge Chicago into an
ll-digested scheme of municipal own

to block him every time. But if the

not do anything but impose a lin
tied veto.

ROOTS OPPORTUNITY.

Doing things in a high diplomatic
way appears to be largely question
of disposition The United States got
into the conference at Algeciras over
the protest of a number of estimable
people who saw nothing in our pres
ence there but a desire to show off as
a world power and take the chance of
getting into a disagreeable squabble.
Nevertheless, the secretary of state
sent his representatives and the out
come shows that through their pres
ence an incident which threatened the
peace of Europe was satisfactorily
closed.
The conclusion at Algeciras was the
direct result of Secretary Roots wise
selection of delegates and the clear
ness of his instructions. One cannot
but regret that the same secretary of
state who found a way to get into the
Algeciras conference on the ground
that we were signatories to an old
treaty which guaranteed freedom of
trade in Morocco cannot see his way
clear to get action in the Congo mat
ter on the same ground. We are sig
natories to a treaty which established
the Congo state on the express I'M
derstanding that trade should be free
This provision of the Congo consti-
tuition has been specifically violated by
the king of the Belgians. There is no
more freedom of trade in the Congo
country than there is in Tibet. Amer
lean commercial interests there may
be slight, but her humanitarian inter-
convention with regard to freedom
of trade is a perfectly legitimate wea-
of the powers which gave the breath
of life to the Congo state and when
that conference is called the full and
shameful character of LeopOld's in
human administration may be laid
bare
1t would seem as though Secretary
Root is losing a golden opportunity to
wipe the last remaining trail of slav-
ery from the ground of Africa by
assuming carelessly that we have no
right or power of intervention In the
Congo matter.

ADJUSTMENTS
Tho Christian.

The Boston Home Journal has this
to say, among other things, In regard
to a performance of 1.-The Christian:
There never was another play written
that held two parts of such equal
worth for both stars, unless one ex-
cepts Romeo and Juliet Storm DOM
mates most of the scenes, and has
great number of those important last
words on which the curtain falls, but
Glory gains the sympathy of her audi
ence from first to last, so it is great
part for the woman also. Miss Law
renee is Glory Quayle, and Mr.. Sam
polls, John Storm, and we'll both OF
them are done Miss Lawrence is in
deed a far more satisfactory Glory
than we have yet seen. She ex-
hibits great strength in that wonderful
next to the last act, and carries the
lighter scene with a grace that is
charming She does not make that err
ror so common among stars, remem-
brance of self to the constant forget
fulness of her part, and is therefore
capitally fitted for such child of ma
ture as Glory. Mr.. Sainpolls shows
that he has evidently given this part
most careful study, and gives per-
Torrance equal to any that we have
seen. Great pains have been taken te
give this play a careful and intelll-

Frederick Warde and Hamlet.

The tragedy of Hamlet" is not only
one of Shakespeare's best, but is said
to be the masterpiece of Frederick
Warde, who will give it in recital at
the Keylor Grand. Friday evening.
No play of Shakespeare's has a higher
power of interest and none has given
rise to a greater number of conflict
ing interpretations. 1t has been right
ly named a tragedy Of thought, and in
this respect as well as others, it takes
it's place beside Julius Caesar. Hamlet
himself, naturally sensitive, receives a
painful shock from the hasty second
marriage of his mother; already the
springs of faith and joy in his nature
are embittered; then follows the terri
BILE discovery of his fathers murder
with the injunction laid upon him to
avenge the crime; upon this follow the
repulses which he receives from Ophe-
lia deep melancholy lays hold of
his spirit and all of life grows dark
and sad to his vision. Although hat
ing his fathers murderer, he has lit
tie heart to push on his revenge. He
is aware that he is suspected and sur
rounded by spies. Right at this point
Games Hamlet's madness. Is it real
or assumed? This is a point about
which critics have waged bitter war

nor affected, but. a sort of natural and
spontaneous imitation of madness. 1t

JAPANESE
LIBEL SUIT
DR.. Uchida Prosecutes
Two Chronicle
Editor S.

y. Tsushima and Y. Kimura of the
japanese Chronicle were placed under
arrest yesterday on the complaint of
DR.. Uchida on charge of commit
ting libel.
Attached to the complaint Of DR..
Uchids is clipping from the Chroni-
Gle printed in japanese and trans
lation thereof.
The article in question, according to
DR.. Uchida, who is one of the most
prominent japanese medical practition-
ers in Honolulu, is Iibelous and holds
him up to public ridicule and scorn. He
alleges that the article is wilfuily
false and, therefore, seeks the arm of
the law to punish the scribes.
The translation shows that the writer
refers to Dr. Uchida as Uchidoc. The
article calls attention to his position
as the head of the japanese Medical
Association and then proceeds to
ridicule him in his connection with the
perinteDdent, making some vague
charges about stealing patients away
from other doctors. 1t calls him
quack and refers lightly to his educa
ton in a school of medicine. The ar
ticle also charges the doctor with hav-
ing run over a little japanese child,
the son of hotelkeeper, the little
one being alleged TO have died from
its injuries. The translation reads:
Therefore, if the Uchi-doc be a
being with conscience in him, he
should have prayed for the blessings
in the future world for the child, Gov
cred (himself) with dark cloth, and
with his head shaved, yet he, the IN
feeling, not only possesses not so ex
allied a sentiment but, etc.

The first shipment of Fnipinos was
to have arrived on the Korea. The San

is said that the Oriental immigration is
to be at the rate of 1000 per month.
Now, what part in these labor move
ments is being played by our Board of
Immigration? We shall be indebted to
them for the Portuguese. Whom are
we to thank for the Filipinos and Jap
anese?

trumpets about Azorean immigration
Will these stay with US any longer than
our Oriental visitors?
AS an owner of sugar stock, a small
landowner, citizen and voter, / am in
terested in knowing what is being done
and how much of this is official The
cost comes out of my pockets, yet I
have but little say as to the sums that
are to be expended and none as to the
manner of spending. L am interested to
know who my neighbors are going to
be and with what people my children
will have to associate if they attend
the public schools. Are these F'ilipinos
going to make citizens. and if so will
they become good citizens? Are my
burdens of taxation to be increased or
lessened?
Has there been any bona fide attempt
20 induce colonization from among the
white farming districts of the main
land? We all agree that conditions
would be better and business better if
the wages earned in Hawaii were spent
Or invested here. Will not these new
immigrants send their savings
back to Fayal and st. Michaels? Is it
the intent of those who are bringing
them to Hawaii that the heads of fam
lilies will become Americans and save
from DECENTRALIZATION. or only
that the second generation will become
good citizens? They must needs have
the blood of pioneers to do all that is
expected of them and make way
against the flood that is to be poured
from the Orient against them. Have
they been chosen for the fight or to be
the foreordained vanQuished ones?
am wondering whether the Third of
November is to supplant the Fourth Of
July as a Hawaiian holiday.
