THE FARMER AND THE STILL.

The decision of the government not
to permit stills of less than 500 gal
Ions daily capacity to engage in the
manufacture of alcohol will prevent the
farmer from getting the full benefit
of the denatured alcohol law. Under
this rule stills will naturally be built
in cities and villages, but not in the
country. The farmer will get low pric-
es for his cornstalks and other refuse
suitable for distillation purposes, be-
cause he must haul it long distances to
the still. If he were permitted to put
up small still on the farm, the ex-
pense for hauling would be practically
eliminated and he could run the still
on otherwise idle days in the winter
and at other seasons. This privilege

would mean a considerable reduction
in the cost Of alcohol, which would
thus prove liklier substitute for gas
oline than now seems possible.
The governments reason for this
rule, of course, is the necessity of
keeping down the expense Of federal
inspection. If every farmer had his
own still, it would take an army Of In
spectors to watch them and see that
the product either paid the tax or was
properly denatured.
Congressman Hill of Connecticut
and Commissioner Yerkes of the in
ternal revenue bureau have been look
ing into German methods the past
summer and now report on the German
governments plan of small stills and
cheap inspection. Stills there must be
made in a prescribed manner and the
receiving task must be locked with a
government lock and officially sealed.
The farmer distils whenever he has
material and opportunity. When the
tank is full ne notifies the govern
ment and an inspector is at once sent
to gage the product and collect the
tax If the alcohol is denatured, re-
bate is paid. AS rule, however, the
pure product is bought by central SELL
ing agencies which denature it and
collect the rebate. In this way one
inspector can cover a large territory
at small expense. There are 70,0oU
farm stills in Germany.
It is to be hoped that Commissioner
Yerkes will be able to adopt the Ger
man system here, so that the farmer
may get the benefit Of the new law.

GREAT SHOW TONIGHT.

THE Lion ana the Mouse" Charles
Klein's play of American social and
financial conditions which Henry B.
Harris will present here tonight has
been preceded for upwards of a year
with the strongest endorsements which
any drama has received from the
American press for great many years.
The intensity and truthfulness with
which Mr.. Klein has pictured the evil
influence of money power on the social
and political phases of life caused a
perfect stampede for the Lyceum
theater, New York, when the play
opened there over a year ago and in
terest in the production has never
waned in the slightest degree, not
even during July and August when the
heat was the fiercest the metropolis
has experienced in years. In every
other city where the play has been
given its reception has been of the
most cordial character, and local play
goers are awaiting it with the as
surance Of seeing something Of a
more fascinating nature than it has

GRAND IS aPARsIFAL."

With the house packed to the doors,
the audience comprising the
elite and fashion of the city,
the histronic triumph Of the sea-
son was scored in the presentation
last night at the Keylor Grand Of
"Parsifal," the great Wagnerian
drama. It was a triumph which
brought profuse compliments to Man
ager Catron for securing this most
successful attraction and an enter
tainment which will live long in the
memory of those so fortunate as to
attend.
To attempt a detailed description,
or criticism, of "Parsifal' would over
tax the space and time of a local
critic. And unworthy are the small
attempts to convey a proper impress
sion to those who were not there. To
some who were there the play could
never appeal-and it is not the fault
Of the play
But to those who grasped the story
Ito those who tensely followed the
wonderful phrasing-it was such an
absorbing thing as leaves one wearied,
almost collapsed, with the strain of
excited Interest," WEAKNESS not
felt, or realized, until-the last tab
leau darkened-peoplet took time to re-
member they had been sitting almost
motionless for more than three hours
The staging Of the drama was SUI
perb, and, as in the case of the
scene of Hades, almost too realistic
with the fumes of sulphur sweeping
out over the audience.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-10-25

The characters of the play were
magnificently sustained, Mr.. Conner
in the title role was thrilling, stirring
to most intense feeling. He is blessed
with a grand voice, with an enuncia-
ton faultless and distinct-a voice
which carried the beautiful, sonorous
lines of the splendid intonations to
the very hearts of his hearers.
Mr.. Dvorak, as "Klingschor," de-
monstrated magnificent power as an
actor. To him fell the most difficult
Of parts, which was sustained to the
highest level, with most artistic abili-
ty.
Mr. McKee's splendid, flexible voice
was aided by a true comprehension Of
the spirit of the lines and won for
him the highest enconiums from the
audience.
OF the women the beauty Of Miss
Heating as "Kundry' and her, at
times, startling adaptation to the
spirit of the temptress, brought her
forth as the one to oversnadow all
others. Hers was the spirit of the
true actress and her brilliant char
acterization is deserving Of extended
compliment.
The support was in keeping with
the high standards set in the principal
cast.

when tine board presented all this
matter to me last Saturday, agreed
with them that there were three

followed.

THE GOVERNOR AND KEGS.

In his explicit, and somewhat re-
markable, prepared interview, given
out in Spokane on the KEGS removal,
Governor Mead declares there were
but three courses for the administra-
ton to pursue when the correspond
ence and actions of the former war
den or firing the warden. The lat
investigation of the grain bag scandal.
These the governor recites as ig-
noring the matter, forgiving the war
den, or fireing the warden. The lat
ter alternative was taken.
No one of political knowledge will
believe for an instant that the last
proposition would have prevailed but
for the political conditions existing
There is good reason to believe the
matter would have been ignored. or
forgiveness extended, if the Walla
Walla political situation had changed.
In other words, if the Evening
Bunc', and KEGS, and the coterie sur
rounding them, had been able to exc
cute their threats by knitting Senator
Ankeny in his own county, the gov
ernor would have rewarded them with
his support. But the failure of the
boastful curbstone bosses to deliver
the goods made them an impossible
burden for the governors crowd to
carry.
The time was, before the primaries
and the convention, when it was firmly
believed a new rule of bossism would
prevail in Walla Walla city and coun-
ty and that the bosses would be the
creatures of the governor and the
sworn enemies of the senator. That
dangerous happening was prevented
by those loyal members of the old
guard who turned out in strength to
defeat the expatriated politicians.
Long before the official action had
been taken it was decided that KEGS
and the "Bunc' must be once more
eliminated Their betrayal Of the An
keny interests had made them marked
men, One failure to deliver and their
doom was sealed.
Came then a secret, but effective,
conference just prior to the state
convention. That conference was be-
tween the governor and the two SEN
ators. 1t was then the handwriting
went up on the wall.
The grain bag scandal was the most
convenient vehicle for ousting in dis
grace those political crooks who had
shamed the local organization and
mad come dangerously near to causing
its disruption.
The former warden has admitted
that the Ankeny people appointed him.
He has, too, confessed that he stood
by the governor in the fight because
the governor continued him in office.
This is the sort of man who, with
the Evening Bunc" and its gangSters
demands that you vote for the candi-
dates they forced upon the republic
can convention.
Are the voters of the county going
to give these double-dyed traitors an
other grant of abused power?
