The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-05-01

The old idea that the pig is an indi-
vidual that cannot be taught, appears
not to obtain in Servia, where in each
village there is a single swineherd who
leads all the pigs of the community.
In the morning he goes through the
village blowing his horn, and all the
pigs ioin him in an excursion to the
pastures. In the evening he brings
them back, and each group of pigs
drops off at it's own sly as the process
sion goes forward They require no at
tention and no singing out. Tally one
for the pig.

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN?

The New York Sun has recently
been conducting a most interesting dis
cussion of the meaning of the term
"gentleman." The dictionary defini-
tons of the word are not necessarily
the governing ones, because gentleman
does not mean the same thing in every
English-speaking country. In Great
Britain it had, and still has, a too
great technical significance. 1t means
a man above the social station of
peasant and below that of a noble.
1t follows that in England moral quail
ties have less to do with the definition.
while in America, country without
caste. they have more to do with it.
In this country the word has been
quite generally defined along the lines
of culture; in Europe along the lines
of blood and birth. Culture, while a
slow growth in the nation, may be
developed in the individual in sin
gle generation. Many of our most
easily recognized types of gentlemen
have no pride of birth, no advantage
of descent Therefore the definition in
this country deals most largely with
the individual as we find him.
President Hadley of Yale college has
proposed a definition which is general
ly considered very complete. He says
a gentleman is one who accepts self
imposed obligations. But even this
definition leaves much to be desired.
1t would apply to an anarchist. He is
a person who accepts self-imposed OBJ
legations, but who refuses those i'm
posed upon him by the majority. The
gambler accepts the self-impOsed Obli-
CATION to pay his card debts because
there is no law to compel fulfillment.
Under the Hadley definition he might
still be a gentleman though not a
recognized member Of society. 1t would
be more true to say that gentleman
is one who accepts in full the obliga-
ton to develop his own life along
lines which will result in the highest
good to his fellowmen. This would ex-
clude the anarchist, the gambler, the
immoral man of perfect manners as
we'll as the good citizen who purpOsely
flouts the graces of his life.

The International Association of
Chiefs of Police is on record against a
proposition to expel any member fur
nishing information to the press. The
newspaper desseminates within a few
hours every detail, whereas the print

Iowa Lady Has Great Faith
in Cuticura Remedies for Skin
Diseases,
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

81 had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
at first thought it was prickly heat.
But soon scales or crusts formed where
the breaking out was. Instead OF going
to a physician, I purchased complete
treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in
which had great faith, and all was
satisfactory. A year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only little
lower; but before it had time to spread
I procured another supply of the Cuti-
cura Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return. l
have taken about three bottles of the
Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know
how much of the Soap or Ointment, as
I always keep them with me; probably
one half dozen of each.
81 decided to give the Cuticura REM
edies trial after I had seen the results
of their treatment of eczema on an
infant belonging to one OF our neigh
bors. The parent took the child to the
nearest physician, but his treatment did
no good. So they procured the Cuticura
Remedies and cured her with them.
When they began using Cuticura REM
edies her face was terribly dis6gured
with sores, but she was entirely cured,

Eve years, and her mother told me the

OTHER WOMEN IN THE CASE.

In the third act of 1.-The Woman in
the Case" as presented at the Keylor
Grand last night, Blanche Walsh and
Jean Patriquin appear in tenderloin
scene in which both drink wine, smoke
cigarettes and indulge in coarse pro-
family While this scene is no doubt
true to life, there is nothing in 1t Of a
moral and uplifting nature for the
young men and young women who see
it. Blanche Walsh in an interview
states that she never uses cigarettes,
or profanity off the stage and is tenn
perate in the use of wines. but many
impresionable natures witnessing her
performance in this act go away with
the idea that there is something smart
and up to- date in the life and habits of
a woman of the world and some desire
to initiate it secretly. if not openly, in
order to have the sensation of a new
diversion.
In staid old Walla Walla within the
last month young married women5of
high standing in society have been OBJ
served promenading residence streets
at night smoking cigarettes with an
abandon that was shocking to per-
sons who had come to look upon these
women as models of propriety This
is not an edifying example for the
young girls of the town and it certain
ly has a demoralizing effect upon
young men, lowering that respect for
women that has been the honor and
the pride of American chivalry. 1.-The
Woman in the Case looked upon her
life in the tenderloin as loathsome and
she abandoned it the moment that she
had gained her purpose in securing a
confession from the lewd woman who
had placed the life of an innocent man
in jeopardy by the charge of murder.
The women of Walla Walla who in
dulge in cigarette smoking and kindred
habits have no such motive as led
Margaret Rolfe to indulge in such
practices. and they owe it to them
selves as we'll as to the respect that
they should have for their families and
the community as whole to abandon
their evil ways at once and forever.

how long it continues, so that the du-
ties NAV devolve upon the vice presl-
dent: but the first congress ana lts

ter rests undetermined.
The presidents of the United States
have been healthy men mentally ana

flee from disease, though three more
have been killed, and in these cases
tho course of the vice-president was
plain. He took the oath as president
upon the decrease of his predecessor
and filled out the remainder OF the
term. But it is true, as the Post sug-
gests. that congress has never de-
cided what constitutes inability to per-
form the duties Of the presidency, the
incumbent being still alive but men,
tally or physically incapacitated. Con-
gress apparently always has felt the
delicacy of passing such legislation
preferring to wait until a specific case
arose. The difficulty in the way OF
such a course is the fact that the dis
ability might occur in the recess OF
congress- AS the president is the only
official who can call congress in extra
ordinary session, there might arise
grave constitutional questions of pro-
oadura

Galland's cousin Kate"

While Blanche Walsh is rather too
heavy and matronly for the role of a
bride of three weeks, the way she
threw her whole soul into her part as
woman with mistaken faith in the
innocence Of her husband accused of
murder by a woman of the Nan Pat
terson order, carried the sympathy of
the audience with her and made most
of her auditors oblivious to thoughts
of age and avoirdupois.
Aside from Miss Walsh, the star
character of the play as it was pre-
sented last night was Frank Sheridan
the lawyer who undertook the defense
of the husband of the woman in the
case. Sheridan is an actor whose
equal is seldom seen in these days of
trust theatricals and fashy plays.

reason the executive is carefully I'M
dermining the Hubbard strength and
preparing to cast him adrift on a wave
of unpopularity.
Went Back on His Word.
Hubbard is the appOlntee of B. S.
Grosscup, Western counsel for the
Northern Pacific. Those who have fol-
lowed politics in this state know that
Mead promised the position of labor
commissioner to the Great Northern
This road slated M. F. Kincaid, an en-
gineer on the Seattle division of the
Northern Pacific, for the place and
Mead promised to deliver.
In the final showdown Mead gave
Hubbard the place because Grosscup
demanded it. There ensued a scene
between Mead and J. D. Farrell that
state house habitues remember yet
Just as plain as the English language
permits Mr.. Farrell told the governor
that he had violated a pledge and

performance. In an eager attempt to

The governor is afraid now to dis
place Hubbard When the complaint of
the Seattle labor organizations was re-
ceived Mead offered explanations and
tried to cover up Hubbard's delin-
quencies. It is not because the la
boring men object to him that he is
now marked for slaughter 1t is be-
cause Mead, grown fat on power, be-
lieves that he is greater than the au-
thorities that made him. The time for
removing a prop Of the Grosscup re-

This fact is evident from the palms.
taking efforts of the Mead regime to
cast disrespect upon the labor COM
missioner and to prepare the public for
a change, says the Seattle Times.
1t is the same policy that was fol-
lowed when Mead decided that the
guards at the state penitentiary who
had followed Jimmy Davis orders and
| mixed in Walla Walla politics had to
go.
A similar plan was adopted when the
executive wanted to get rid Of State
Fish Commissioner Kershaw. Again
the policy was adopted for Command
ant S. c. Hyde, of the Soldiers Home,
and it has been followed in every in
stance where the governor wanted to
create a vacancy and be clear of

of some of his actual supporters.
Urges Attack on Hubbard. .
Through his newspaper organ the
governor has commenced at attack up
on Hubbard He is giving publicity to
all the criticisms of the Tacoma rail-
road man that he can find. He is
preparing the public mind for a state
ment that Hubbard is untitled for the
position.
Aside from the fact that Hubbard
erred in his conduct of the Cascade
Laundry case, where the executive sus-
tanned him, Mead's determination to be
rid of his labor commissioner has no
basis in recent labor movements. Hub
bard has stirred up the enmity of the
Seattle Labor Council in his laundry
| fight, where he failed to prosecute any
| one for woring women overtime. And
this is the basis Of the Mead attack.
Mead fears to displace Hubbard with
out a public sentiment that on the sur
| face makes it necessary. There is no
other man in the states employ whom
he respects so much for his backing

Birth of a National Hymn

TNHE T. French National HYMN, La MAJ

French officer named ROuget de Isle. De
Lisle was stationed at StraSburg in 1902 dur
ing 4 famine which accompanied the revo-
luton. and when food was scarce he used to
try 10 forget the craving of his stomach by
writing verses and indulging in a passionate
love for music. He was a frequent visitor at
the home of Baron de Diedrich, Mayor of StraS-
burg. The Baron liked him, and the female
portion of the Baron'S family enioved his boy
ISh ImpulSIveneSS and often sang the songs he
had written, while he accompanied them on his
musical instruments.
One evening, when the gaunt clutch of the
famine held the city of StraSburg even more
tightly than usual the Baron de Diedrich pro-
posed that he and de Lisle should drink To the
liberty Of the country IN the last bottle of wine
remaining in the household. Ever ready for
the taste of the beverage. de LIsle consented
and the bottle was brought 1t was an un-

fingers ran over some chords. and then rs in a
dream he launched into The MarSeIllaiSe, the
Soul-Strrng, passionate song which cost
France a hundred thousand lives and made
the streets OF Paris run blood.
In the morning when the Young officer
awoke he wrote down the words and the music
and ran at once TO the house of the Mavor.

called him, and he in turn called his wife. \
