try.
Governor Fletcher appears to have
imbibed some common sense along with
his republicanism. He has secured a
view Of things industrial which puts
opportunity, effort and adaptability
ahead of law. He has progressed be-
yond those republicans who hold that
all that is necessary to create industry
is to tax imports. If industry does not
take the hint, raise the taxes. If manu-
features are still diffident, raise them
again. There is always a point at
which prosperity will grab hold If the
tariff makers only have the genius and
patience to keep pushing for it.
Mr.. Governor Fletcher appears to
have gotten beyond that point. He
places opportunity first and law after
ward. Perhaps he would even be pre-
pared to say that when an industry has
been established by a fortuituos COM
bination of opportunity and law, that
/, it should be invited to try what it car
do with a little less law and finally
be set on it's feet without any law.
This would be the natural position fol-
a man who puts opportunity ahead OF
tariff. If there is a point at which an
industry which is not naturally well
situated can exist and prosper by taxes
then there may come time when an
industry which has all the advantage
of situation may be able to amble along
without taxes.
Governor Fletcher has not given Us
any weighty thoughts on this branch
of the subject but his present position
will be such a bitter disappointment te

KlingsOr hurls the sacred lance at the
head of the valiant youth. 1t fails to
strike him but miraculously remains
suspended over his head. Parsifal
grasps the holy relic and with it makes
the sign of the Cross. A loud crash Of
thunder is heard and, as if an earth
quake occurred, the magic castle crum-
bles into ruins; the flower garden and
all it contains is turned into an arid
waste and Klingsor disappears for
ever. Kundry is overwhelmed with
fright and horror, while Parsifal hold

the ruins of the castle and is lost to

vortex of sensuous creation that the

by Klingsor intent upon his moral
downfall. And yet we see how this
noble youth is enabled to resist all the
allurements and temptations that beset
him. How, even when the arch tempt

"PARSIFAL" At KEYLOR GRAND.

One Of the most striking and beauti-
full features in the spectacle of "Par-
sifal" is the flower garden scene with
its fascinating flower maidens. This
garden, as we are told in the story, is
the creation of Klingsor for the de-
liberate purpose of seducing the
Knights of the Holy Grail from their
lives of rectitude and holiness. How
well he succeeded, for time at least,
we are told in the story and play. But
it is in the attempted destruction of
the soul of the hero himself, Parsifal,
where Klingsor put forth his greatest
efforts, and the flower garden and its
occupants are made to play their mos

MUST RALLY ONCE AGAIN

The campaign in Walla Walla coun-
ty has developed political conditions
which are rarely equalled even in this
scrappy storm center of state and local
politics. 1t is a condition which has
attracted the attention of thinking peo-
pie with the resultant effect of the
pendence unexampled in the history Of
the city Or county.
A few weeks ago the better element
of the republican party, rising in It's
might, sturdily asserted an intention
of burying forever those gangsters and
wouldbe bosses who came near to
wrecking the interests OF the party To-
cally and endangering the welfare of
the city and county as the home of a
United States senator. The rebuke
at the primaries, administered by the
independent republicans and the MEM
bers of the old guard, was thought
sufficient for some time to come.
But, through the weakness of some
of the men entrusted with the Ankeny
representation in the convention, those
traitors and renegades were permitted
to name several candidates, as a price
of their being good until the sena-
torial interests had been fully con-
served.
1t was a gross error and one which
every wise republican admits now.
The Kees-"Bunc" gang was down and
out. Their opposition and treacher-
Gus moves against Senator Ankeny
| had been counteracted. They were
powerless.
| Yet, with lack Of judgment and cow
ardice unexpected, the leaders in the
convention allowed the opportunity to
go to smother the eliminated ones.
They surrendered. to the piratical de-
mands Of KEGS and the "Bunc" and
nominated the men demanded by the
prison ring, acting, they pleaded, under
the belief that it would restore har-
mony.
| Everyone knows that action gave the
| interlopers another lease of life and
supplied them with the excuse for con-
tinuing in an organization formed solely
out of a spirit of revenge. That action
equips the political traitors with ma
terial for another attack when the
efforts of the old guard, and those who
rallied to the call for help, to prevent
the betrayal of the local and sena-
torial interests.
Now comes the humiliating specta-
Gle of the very man who was the OBJ
ject of the revengeful attack by the
Kees-"Bunc" crowd being compelled
to permit the support of that element
in his newspaper and through his
lieutenants.
The people of the city and county
understand the embarrassing posi-
ton of Senator Ankeny and the Union
They know that the support of sever
al of the republican candidates is
merely a matter of form.
They know, too, that the rally OF
the same voters who defeated the
gangsters at the primaries will make
the election of the gang candidates an
impossibility.
