and have given their support to the
little dodger. AS long as the states
man aided the Boxers in political
contests gratuitously they were more
than willing to accept its services, but
when it came to giving the paper
substantial support they were never
there with the goods.
The present management of the
Statesman places business success
above party or factional allegiance, and
under the present proprietorship the
paper will continue to place the well
fare of the town above any party
considerations in its support Of can
didates for public office.
In the present municipal contest the
Statesman is supporting for mayor
and the council such men as it be-
lieves will labor for the advancement
of the citys interests and the pros
perity of its people. We believe that
the reelection of Mayor Hunt will
tend to increase the confidence OF
business men in the continued
growth and improvement of Walla
Walla, and will encourage capital at
home and abroad to invest in Walla
Walla real estate and Walla Walla
business enterprises of all sorts. The
best token of what will be accom-
is the record of what has been ac-
complished under his administration
during the last four years.

south it is apparently not a racial
question, that is to say that we should
make mistake in jumping to the con-
clusion that the lynching of negroes
would explain it. Texas with a popu-
lation of 100000 whites and $4,000
negroes has about as many homicides
as Alabama, South Carolina and Lou
isiana, which have 100000 people,
nearly equally divided between the
races. Maryland, whose colored popu-
lation is but one-fourth of the total
has as many homicides rs Louisiana,
which has as many negro as white in
habitants.
These statistics appear to show that
as the country is settled the mania
for killing decreases Living becomes
more settled and the administration of
criminal law does its share toward dis
couraging the practice of taking hu-
man life. In the group of New Eng
land states it is observable that the
number of homicides is about equal
to the number reported for the whole
German empire. This is bad enough,
considering the difference in popula-
ton, but the New England and mid
die states record is encouraging in
comparison with that of the south and
west.
There is opportunity for painstaking
investigation of the homicide record of
certain portions of the countdy. 1t
ought to be extended to learn, if pos
sible, whether the laws themselves or
the relative laxness or stringency of
their enforcement are the most import
ant contributing causes.

HOMICIDES IN THE UNITED
STATES.

Homicide, according to Judge Thorn
as, of Alabama, is alarmingly on the
comparatively speaking, grows cheaper
every year. In the midst of material
prosperity, living under laws which
are the most humane and just enjoy
ed by any land under the sun, with the
admiration of most nations and the
hatred of none, with soil, climate, in
situations and all things which go to-
ward making people hopeful and as
piring, the American has already ia
ken an unenviable position in the
world in the poor regard which is
paid to the secredness Of life. His
data which have been recently pub
lished include suicide and homicide,
whether of an excusable justifiable,
or felonious character. There is an
increase in all departments except in
legal executions which forms the
branch of justifiable homicide. Judge
Taft has lately argued that one cause
of the increase of murders, the felon-
ious branch of homicide, is our failure
to put the law relentlessly in force
against killings. That is to say, that
we have more people killed illegal
ly because the law does not legally
strangle more than it does. The homi-
cides per million of inhabitants are
for Canada 3, England 10, France IA,
the United States 129.
The figures considered by groups of
states indicate that homicide is most
prevalent in the southern and Pacific
states. There they amount to II and
IA in the $4,000 of population. while in
the New England states the percent
age is less than in each $4,000 In
regard to the high percentage in the

FARMERS FEAR SHORTAGE OF MEN
Umatila Wheat Growers Are Now
Looking for Men to Gather
Their Grain.

That there will be a scarcity of har-
vest hands in Umatilla county this
season is feared by the farmers.
Though no threshing has yet been
done, machines are preparing to start
in some portions within a week or
two, and by July Is harvest will be on
in full blast. The prices offered vary
from $3.50 to 81 per day, according to
the class of work.
Owing to the fact that most of the
Umatilla county wheat is now har-
vested by combines, the number of la
borers needed is much less than in
former years, as but five or six men
are needed in the operation of a COM
bine. But in spite of this fact there
will be considerable demand for la
bOrers for the summer, as there is
much other work aside from thresh-
ing. For common farm work such
as narrowing 81 per day is paid,
while $3.50 per day is paid during
haying.
