WHEN MISTAKE Is FOUND.
URGE RETENTION OF PRESENT Law

board of the First M. E. Church, at a
meeting held October 8, expressing
confidence in the mayor and city
council and commencing their efforts
to enforce the laws and maintain civic
righteousness in Walla Walla. were
presented and read at the council meet
last night.
Councilman Kirkman, in a glowing
speech, moved the resolutions be re-
ceived and placed on file Councilman
Krikman said that he attended the
mass meeting at the First Presbyte-
rian church last Sunday afternoon, full
ly expecting, from what he had heard
on the outside, that the city council
was to come in for a severe arraign-
ment.
"WiIy Bill" is Mixed.
Councilman Kirkman said he was
agreeably surprised to find that Moth
ing occurred at the meeting at which
single member Of the council could
take offense.
He said the meeting was largely at
tended by representative citizens Of
Walla Wala. He moved that the res
olutions be received and placed on file.
Mayor Kellough called Kirkman's at
tention to the fact that the resolutions
under consideration were from the
First Methodist church instead of the
Presbyterian church and had been
adopted at meeting Of the official
board Monday.
"Well, my remarks are applicable to
these resolutions and I move that they
be received and placed on file," re-
marked Kirkman, easily sliding out of
an embarrassing situation.
The Resolutions.
The resolutions as adopted are as
follows:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Walla Walla, Washington:
"Gentlemen: We believe that the
end and aim Of our laws is the main
tenance of good morals in the COM
munity.
1--WE regard the laws pertaining to
Sabbath observance and those regu-
lating the conduct of liquor saloons to
be of prime Importance in gaining this
end.
I'VE believe the present city ordi-
nances on these matters to be those
which will in our city, as in other
cities where similar laws have been
enacted, prove of great advantage to
the city from the standpoint of good
morals and substantial advancement.
For Present Law.
1--WE approve the present ordinance
which forbids the selling of liquors to
minors, forbids the frequenting of sa-
looms by women and minors, and re-
quires the saloons to be closed on
Sunday.
1--WE further believe that the power
to revoke a license should rest with
the body which grants license.
1--WE desire to express our confidence
in the honorable mayor and city coun-
Gil of the city Of Walla Walla, and
to commend their efforts to en-
force the laws and maintain civic
righteousness in our city,"
The above resolutions were heartily
endorsed by the official board OF the
First M. E. church Of Walla Walla,
which met in the church parlors on
October 8. 1906 The board represents
a membership of 325 and constituent
cy of over 500.

Secretary of Treasury Ridieules Bryan
 and Democracy.
 Danville, Va, Sept. S.--Hon. Leslie M. Shaw spoke at Martinsville. the county seat of Henry County. today, and at Danvile tonight on the Issues to be in the coming Presidential cam palgn.
 His speech here tonight was an arr raignment of the Democratic Party, which he charged with inconsistency. The Democratic leaders" are not look ing towards the advancement and in terest of the country, but are trying to agree on any old platform that will win"
 His mention of Bryan's name was greeted with applause. ''Brynn's speech at Madison Square Garden" he said. showed conclusively that he is candidate for the Democratic nomi- nation for President and his views will constitutS the platform.
 The speaker then took up the blanks that Bryan's speech suggested and rid lculed the plan of election of United States Senators by the people; the criminal prosecution of trusts and the Government ownership of railroads. Speaking of the inconsistency of the Democratic Party, MT. Shaw said;
 Parker voted for Bryan twice with the free silver platform inserted against his judgment, while Bryan voted for Parker with the free silver plank left out"
 MT. Shaw left tonight for Salisbury. N. c. where he speaks Monday night.

THOMPSON AND DUNLAP
 ANSWER ROGER J SULLIVAN

this country opposed It's teachings openly and conseientiously as not be- ing In harmony with our institutions. Sullivan has simply seixed upon the circumstance of my name to prejudice Irishmen against me It was a false, contemptib1e. unjustihable charge"
 Judge Thompson In his statement says: a
 Roger suIIIvan's statement that [ bought delegates in the convention that nominated me for judge, I de- nounce as a malicious and unmitigated fafsehood.
 'T never directly or indirectly bought a delegate at the convention for myself or any other person. The statement is without truth and springs from an ungovernable rage because I opposed him at the Peoria convention. The maker is so disreputable as corrup- tionist and has 50 many perjurers and bribe takers among his peculiar fol- lowing that no man who incurs hls enmity or ill-wili Is safe from his ma licious attacks.
 Prior to the Peoria convention, he sought to injure me in the estimation of Irishmen. Germans and others of for- eign descent, by insinuation that was opposed to him because he is an Irish man. That was but the trick of an interruptions politician who was with out any real defense to the crimes he was charged with. As to being po- lftieaI judge. I simply refer to the whole bar of this district. Democratic and Republican. alike. whether they have observed any partisanship In my conduct on the bench or in my decis- slons."

Jacksonville, Ill. Sept s.--Judge Owen P. Thompson and Willard Fillmore Dun- lap today issued signed statements de- nying the charges made against them in National Committeeman Ryan J. Sullivan's rejoinder to w. J. Bryan's recent speech at Chicago. In addition Thompson and Dunlap accuse Sullivan of various political crimes.
 MT. Dunlap in his statement says:
 "Suliivan's statement that I was Judge Thompson's go-between contains cruel, false statement and bare in- situation. Sullivan, whose general reputation is that of a professional boodler. would charge any one he hates with any vice or crime to divert att tention from himself or in his desire to drag others to his level.
 Mir Dunlap. who is connected with a banking company, says Sullivan de- lights Tn mentioning his name with certain Chicago bankers, including Paul O. Stcnsland as bankers who sup ported Bryan, and continues:
 "Rut there was one banker who did not support Bryan, but he stood with Sullivan representing themselves as defenders of national honor. That was John R. Walsh. his bosom friend and political associate. Sullivan seeks. to raise a false issue now as he did In his circulars sent broadcast before the Peoria convention. In that he charged that I was a know nothing because nay given name Is Willard Fillmore. did not select my name. None of my people that I have ever heard of were know nothings' or A. P.

 'The people of Louisiana are with w. T. Bryan
 Lieutenant Governor J. Y. Saunders, of Louisiana, thus expressed himself last night while staying in the city for a few hours
 He spoke freely of political condi- tions in the State of which he is the vice-executive.
 you know the State of Louisiana had no State Democratic convention. but in 1896. the delegation to the national convention declared for Mir. Bryan and in 1900 they were instructed to endorse his platform.
 'The recent debate with Sullivan of Illinois excited little interest among our people, but his declaration for governs mental ownership of public utilities is arousing considerable commeRt% Our people have not yet been brought face to face with the necessity for govern mental ownership, but they believe completely In a severe and rigid gov ernmental control and supervision of public utilities.

Bryan
 we have no State convention. but in the primaries to be held January 20, tn people will undoubtedly endorse his beliefs. In fact. we believe that the doctrines which have made President Roosevelt the idol of the people, have all been stolen from the platform of the Democratic Party. or in other words. from Mir. Bryan.

MR. GRIGGS TALKS
DENIES REPORTS CIRCULATED RY
 REPUBLICANS.
Nc Branch of the Democratic Head- quarters Has Been Closed Roosevelt as the Sole Issue
 in Campaign.

Washington, Sep-. s.-Chairman Griggs of the Democratic National Committee issued the following state- rlent today:
 "All this talk about the closing of any branch of the Democratic National headquarters Is utterly without foun- dation. The press bureau in this city, under Robert Miller. which has been conducted by She National Comnlttae for several years. is still working out its regular supply of matter for the Democratic press throughout the coun- try.The force was decreased a week or two simply because the work of com pleting thes campaign book under the supervision of this committee which had been put upon that bureau was finished, and there was, therefore, no longer any necessity for the services of these people. That is all there ts to the alleged incident
 "The effort of the Republicans to make the President the sole issue of this campaign is significant and will prove futile.
 Tt would appear from the frantic efforts of certain distinguished Repub- lican speakers to make the President the issue, that they are ashamed of the record of the Republican House of Con- gross. Ido not know how 1t is and, therefore, do not charge that they are ashamed of it's guilt--if they are not, why are they so earnestly pursuing the policy of ignoring the record of that body and atempting te hide behind the President?
 While in New York recently at the reception of Mt Bryan. I met Demo- crats from all over the country, and rave never seen them more determined, earnest and hopeful
 MT. Bryan will take part in the campaign and will speak where he caa do the most good for the party"

BRYAN COMES
 TO ALABAMA Speaks in Birmingham September 21. RESPONDS TO INVITATION Will Make an Address in Magic
 City. Telegram from Commoner to W. ,. TomIinson in Montgomery Tells
 of Intention to Come to
 state This Month.
 

William J. Bryan will visit Alabama during the present month. In response to an invitation extended to him at the reception rendered to the Democratic leader in New York two weeks ago, ne has announced his intention of passing through the State, and will stop over in Birmingham. September 21. At that time, he will make an address to the Democrats of the State.
 While 1t has been rumored for sew eral days that the Commoner has been intending to accept some of the invi- tations which were extended to him from Alabama during the recent re- ception in the Empire State metropolis, no definite acceptance had been re- eeived until last night. The matter had been left in abeyance for over fortnight, and although he had an- rounced his intention of visiting the State during the fall, nothing dennite was settled during the three days cele bration in New York.
 According to a telegram received by J. w. Tomlinson of Birmingham, who is delegate to the State Convention which is U meet in Montgomery tot morrow, and who was at the New Ex- change last night, Bryan has decided to make visit to the State the latter part of this month
 Mir. TomIinson was a member of the committee of Birmingham business men which went to New York to in- vite him to visit that city during the homecoming week. october Is to 20. At an early hour this morning for warded telegram was received by MT. Tomlinson from the Nebraskan, sent from his home, In which the latter stated he would stop in Birmingham during his return trip from Virginia.
 The telegram was short and to the point. It read:
 T shall pass through Birmingham September 2l. Shall be glad to accept your invitation for that date.
 'W. J. Bryan"
 According to the itinerary arranged for Mir. Bryan. the commoner is to de- liver speech in Radford, Va, Septem- dolph Hearst is also expected to speak. Previous to that time, he will take his daughter to the Old Dominion State to attend a college there. After the joint speech at Radford. he will pur- sue his way westward through North Carolina and the northern part of Geor- gia, and will pass through Alabama on his return home. It is on this trip that he will stop in Birmingham.
 When the committee of bushes men from Birmingham was in New York, an invitation was extended by them and Mayor George Ward of the Magic City, to the Democratic leader to make an address there during homecoming week. It appears that such an arrange ment would have confiIcted with other dates which were already arranged for Mir. Bryan. In lieu of accepting this invitation, however, he has arranged to include Birmingham on his itinerary on his way home from Virginia.

PRINTING OFFICE sHAKE-UP.
Officers Os Rinders' Union Fired by
 Foreman.

FOEGEAAHms Washington. Sept. 6.-The Govern [. ment printing office received another shake-up today when Acting Foreman of the Bindery Ashton suspended Jacob Hale a bookbinder and a prominent of- fieer of the International Brotherhood of Book Binders,
 It was declared that at the big print cry that dissatisfaction had been found with some work of Mir. Hale. and that the latter resented the criticism of Mir Ashton, and said to the acting foreman that he would prefer to have some other official pass upon his work. The sus- pension of MT. Hale immediately fol- lowed.
 Friends of Mir Halo today assorted that his suspension was due to vigor- ous address made by him last night at meeting of the members of bookoind- CTS union, who are employees of the Government office in which he discussed the recent order of the public printer requiring binders to produce a greater output of work. Officials of the Gov ernment printing office, however, de- cline to discuss the case in the absence of MT. Stillings.

srLF pERrETUATING DYNASTY.
FoIk'a Idea of the Insurance Manage
 mcnts' Scheme.

New York, Sept. s-Reau Folk. State Treasurer and Insurance Commissioner, of Tennessee. in a letter received by Col. A. M shook of the International PoIicyholders Committee. stated that the defeat of the administration tickets of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, and of the New York Life Insurance Company of New York, would be to the interest of the policy holders and gave his reasons therefor. Mir. Folk wrote in part as follows;
 ..The recent revelations as to the abuse of management waste and di- version of the policyholders funds. re- suited in the passage of the law by the State of New York. making the terms of office of all trustees expire this year, so that the policy holders of all mu- tuaI companies would have the opportu- nifty to elect an entire board at one time as heretofore. If. under these circumstances and within the deeds of mismanagements fresh in the public mind, the administration tickets be re- turned, then it can be said of truth that the idea of mutality from mana geriaI standpoint is a myth. Such a result would mean in each company a self perpetuating dynasty. In brief, if policy holders cannot win now, they never can.'
