Lightning Cures rheumatism.

For several days Mr.. Roop was hard

crooked politics and the gross oetray-
al of their trusts by the city ohclais'
rising to a complete mastery OF the
city of walla Walla.
1t is a matter for the most serious
consideration-this violation OF ante
election pledges-this deliberate den-
ance by the council of the wishes OF
the people expressed at the polls.
Such men as Durham, Kirkman and
Mexican were elected on pledges to
maintain rigid control of the liquor
business and to enforce the Sunday
closing law. Each of these-and
others-have violated their obligations
to the citizens in the cowardly action
on the cases of lawbreaking reported
by the chief of police to the council.
It now remains to be seen whether
they are so far committed to those
interests as to pass the new ordinance
which plainly invites the saloons to
keep open Sunday, maintain gambling
games and in other ways to go back
to the old rule of the wide open town.
That some of the councilmen will
work heartily to pass the ordinance,
unless interfered with, is a foregone
conclusion.
The people have been shamed and
disgraced by action already taken.
They should rally to prevent their ser
wants from going the whole distance
and opening up the town to gangs of
pluguglies, tin horn gamblers and
Sunday violators.
And the action to be taken IS to
move on the councilmen individually
and in a body and protest against the
passage of the new ordinance unless
amended to reasonable requirements.
The councilman who dares to vote
for the proposed bill should be pub
licly branded as a traitor to his trust.
