INTEGRITY OF THE CROP REPORT
REPORT.

The favorable action of the senate
last week upon a bill providing for
adequate punishment for men in the
government employ who use their in
formation with reference to crops for
personal advantage or give out infor-
nation surreptitiously, will meet with
geenral approval The pity of it is that
there was not some law under which
Holmes and the others who figured in
the recent great scandal could get what
was their due.
The most unfortunate part of the
connivance of Holmes with the cotton
market manipuators, and their opera
tons in the speculative market, was
not that it was wrong in itself, but
that, having come to light, it brought
general discredit upon the department
and gave rise to much suspicion prob
ably not warranted The wheat farm
ers very naturally inferred that if there
was a leak in the cotton reports for the
advantage of a certain clique, there
might as readily be leak in the wheat
reports Thus the whole work of the
department came under suspicion, and
it was even alleged that in the making
up Of all the government reports false
figures were substituted for effect upon
the markets.
The thing is over now and there is
not likely to be a repetition of It,
How much of the suspicion that fol-
lowed the Holmes disclosures was JUS
titled no one can say. Today the de-
partment is pretty well cleaned up and
is likely to do better and more reliable
work as a result of the severe criti-
cisms that have been directed to-
ward it. The fact that the conspirators
escaped penal service is not likely to
induce others to take the risk of try
ing to doctor the reports or give out
advance information. now that provis-
ion has been made for severe punish
ment in any such case.

had established Chinese slavery in
South Africa. They pledged themselves
to wipe the stain of slavery" from the
British flag Since they were Install
ed in office they have been backing
away from the slavery charge, closely
pressed by the Infatuated unionists,
who claim to have lost dozens of seats
on account of this cry. Questioned in
the house of commons, the prime min
lister denied that he ever said that
slavery existed, but that it was form
of slavery. Mr. Asquith, the chan
cellor of the eXchequer, hOtly resented
the statement that his majesty's minis
tiers had charged slavery. 1t was only
the candidates for election who did it.
This made the house groan at Mr..
Asquith, a preternaturally solemn
man who likes to have people take him
as seriously as he takes himself.
Finally the bright young Winston
Churchill explained the whole business
by saying that slavery was not meant
to be charged. The use of the term
was only a chronological inexacti-
tude." The use of this phrase has
become as famous as the "innocuOus
desuetude" of Grover Cleveland. Mr..
Chamberlain Immediately retorted that
he could describe it with much short
er phrase; in fact, with Saxon word
of three letters.
Meantime the liberals feel that bad
start has been made and are exasper-
ated at their lOose-tOngued Stumpers
who brought about the muddle.

Without One Kiss.

NEWARK, N j.. March 19.-At the
close of the hearing of the application
of Henry Liebe for divorce, Vice Chan
cellor Emery announced that he would
recommend that a divorce be granted.
Mr.. Liebe lives in Brooklyn, and he
met his wife yesterday for the first
time in sixteen years. They were mar
ried twenty-seven years ago and have
five children.
In answer to questions Mrs. Liebe
declared she had never been kissed by
any man in her life and had never
kissed a man. She insisted that even
during her courtship she never kissed
her husband and he never kissed her.

sTATEuNE WHEAT C0Ns|DEREDSA
Samples From McCooI and ManeIa
Ranches Brought to Statesman
Office Today.

State line farmers and those just
across the Oregon line are Of the
opinion that the cold snap last week
did not injure growing crops in that
section. E. D. Dennis, who is farm
ing just over the line, was in Walla
Walla today and on the way to town
stopped at the McCool and Manela
farms and secured samples of growing
grain, which he brought to The States
man office. The blades, which are
about six inches in height, are slightly
blighted, but the roots are perfectly
healthy and uninjured.
Commence Seeding on Flat.
Many farmers on Eureka Flat have
commenced reseeding fields that they
believe have been frozen out. The
high temperature yesterday cleared the
ground of frost and seeding operations
will be on in full blast all over the
flat by tomorrow. Seeders were put to
work on the Drumheller ranches to-
day.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH STATION
To Be Established in City
De Forest Wireless Telegraph
Company.

AS one Well-knOwn American philOS-
opher said: "The world do move"
But in all it's movements it seems
that Walla Walla is not to be over
looked, either.
The latest and most novel enterprise
due to be established in this city is a
| wireless telegraph station. The COM
pany interested and back of the project
is the American De Forest Wireless
Telegraph company. This company is
about to establish it's system through
cut the states in the Pacific northwest.
Milton Huber, with offices at 21-22
Quinn building, this city, is district
manager for the company in Walla
Walla and eastern Washington.
Mr.. Huber returned from Spokane
yesterday after spending a week in
conference with other of the company's
managers working in the Pacific north
west.
Interviewed, Mr.. Huber said:
Eyes, the American De Forest Wire
less Telegraph company propose to es-
tablish their system in the immediate
future throughout the Pacific north
west states Walla Walla is not to be
overlooked, for it is the intention of
the company to establish station In
this city"
Continuing Mr.. Huber said:
Every few people as yet realize the
possibilities of wireless telegraph. 1t
is really one of the triumphs of the
age and the system as operated by the
American De Forest company is bound
to revolutionize the telegraph business
in all parts of the civilized world. The
American De Forest company is max
ing Roadway in this country with re-
markable rapidity. In several eastern
states the company is operating
chain of stations and Offices, handling
commercial and other Geographic bust
ness as prompt and as efficient as the
telegraph companies which use con-
tinuOus wires. Our company already
has valuable contracts with the United
States government and the system has
the approval of all the naval experts.
In fact, there is no longer any doubt in
our minds Of the absolute and perma-
net success Of the American De Forest
wireless system. And this fact be-
cause of the great difference and ad-
vantage in the cost of establishment
over the wires, that in the near future
the telegraph business of the world.
both over water and over land, will be
done through wireless agencies"

PRESIDENTIAL SPECULATION.

Speculation is already active in
Washington as to the probable selec-
tons for the presidency by the two
leading parties in 1903. Consideration
if the matter is precipitated in meas
ure by the fact that one candidate is
already engaged in an active cam
Iaign Nh Hearst is trying to be
nominated for governor of New York
on the democratic ticket as stepping
stone to the democratic nomination for
the presidency. Washington dispatches
outline the situation in an interesting
way.
William Randolph Hearst, by reason
of his remarkable success at the polls
of New York city last fall is second to
none in his prominence in his party.
The democracy has acted upon the
principle more than. once that the man
who could carry New York was the
man for them to nominate. There is
nothing else which will explain the
selection of Judge Parker in 1904.
Mr.. Hearst has displayed great vote
getting power in his almost successful
campaign against Tammany in New
York city, and is now extending his
lines throughout the state. The demo-
Gratis want a winner and while doubt
less many of the upstate democrats
of New York would be slow to indorse
Mr. Hearst's radical views, they will
follow him if they see chance of par
ty success.
Mr. Bryan must not be lost sight Of
for although he labors under the heavy
handicap of two successive defeats at
the polls he is still a man of great in
fiuence in his party and by no means
negligible quantity in connection with
the nomination.
That is one side of the case. In any
event the democracy will be the radi-
cal party-radical on the tariff, radi-
cal on municipal ownership and radical
on anything else that may present it
self. The conservatism of the country
will again. as in 1896 look to the re-
publican party for safety and protec-
ton, and the conservative party, seek
ing to unite in itself all conserva-
tive elements, will have to have a con-
sentative candidate. Fairbanks, Shaw,
Taft and Root are the men most talk
ed of. and the probabilities are much
less clearly defined on the republican
side than they are on the democratic,
where it seems to be altogether prob
able that it must be either Hearst or
BRYAN 1t may be that the special
interests now so firmly intrenched in
the senate will continue to be so I'M
nervous to facts, so blind to the ten
denotes of things. so arrogant and Of
fensive to the public that William
Randolph Hearst, as a result OF the
popular reaction. may become president
of the United States.
