WELCOME TO THE GRAND ARMY.

Walla Walla today extends a hearty
welcome to the old union veterans who
have met here for their annual en-
campment. Every patriotic Walla
Gallan feels that he owes to the Grand
Army of the Republic a debt of graft
tude that can never be paid. and ali
join willingly in extending hospitality
to the veterans and in making their
visit here pleasant and enjoyable. The
city of Walla Walla feels proud of the
honor that the Grand Army of the
state of Washington has paid it by
meeting here, and every effort will be
put forth to win the love of
the old soldiers for the town
that they may wish to come
again. The bent forms and faltering
steps of many of the old veterans
give the sad token that their stay in
this world will not be long and that
the grandest army the world ever saw
will in a few years be only a glorious
memory. Therefore, let us honor the
old heroes while they are still with us
and not wait until they are gone to sing
peans of praise in commemoration of
their patriotic sacrifices and valorous
deeds.

In the opinion of a large majority of
taxpayers the biggest issue before the
voters of Walla Walla today is whether
or not the city shall pay 100000 or
more to a milling company to with
draw its suit for a permanent injunc-
ton against the taking of water from
Mill creek to supply the new $250,000
water system. The milling company
has brought out a candidate for mayor
and is supporting daily dodger in or
der to consummate its scheme to hold
up the city, which they know would be
frustrated by the reelection of Mayor
Hunt. Do not lose sight of this vital
issue.

AN EYE-OPENER FROM BOISE.

A news article from a Boise paper

man, should open the eyes of the tax
payers of Walla Walla to the holdup
to which they have been subjected in
the awarding of paving contracts to the
Warren Construction company in this
city during the last fifteen months. For
most of the Warren bitulithic pave
ment laid in Walla Walla, the contract
price has been $217 a square yard, and
the lowest price has been $2.13, while
the bid of the Warren Construction
company at Boise a few days ago was
for only $3.50 a square yard. Here is
a difference of frem So to 81 cents a
square yard which would have made a
difference of many thousands of dol
lars in the total amount paid the War
rem company on its Walla Walla con-
tracts.

seventy-five additional blocks in this
city and to give the contract to the

PRESENT MANAGEMENT NOT RE-
SPONSIBLE.

The little dodger has gone back to
ancient history to quote what the
Statesman said in criticism of Mayor
Hunt when this paper was under diff
ferent management and pursuing a diff
ferent policy. To hold the present
management of the Statesman respon-
former management said and did, is as
unreasonable as it would be to hold
President Roosevelt responsible for
what James Buchanan, or any other
former occupant of the White House
and manager of the national admins
tration might have said or done
Three years ago the Statesman was
a democratic paper supporting the
Boxer faction as a means of splitting
the opposition and aiding its own par
ty. Today under different management
the Statesman is an Independent paper
protesting allegiance to no party, but
seeking the good of the city, county.

AUTHOR AT "23 WITH YOU"
He Was Jockey On Sheepshead
Track With Room for Only
Twenty two.

Twenty two.
CLEVELAND, O., June 25.-The man
who invented "23" and founder of
'skidoo" was captured by the local po-
lice Sunday and was arraigned in
court today and fined $23 and sentenced
to three times twenty-three days in the
workhouse. The prisoner whose num-
Der was % was caller, answered

The prisoner was formerly a jockey
by the name of Patsy Morrison. He
explained:
There is just room for twenty-five
horses on the Sheepshead track. When
one more enters he has to go behind
all others and he gets a handicap. I
started the saying by yelling "23 for
you every time an old skin bag got on
the track because "23" had no chance
whatever. The other jockeys took 1t

ROOSEVELT AND KANG HI.

Boron Sueck Won Sternberg went
good deal out of his way to find par
nese emperor to find some of the
maxims included in the Roosevelt phil
osophy of public service. The stock of
phrases which may be used by states
man intent upon lettering the condi-
ton of his generation is somewhat cir
cumscribed. They rally around the
common point of individual right to
opportunity. This idea involves de-
nunciation of monopoly, injustice,
cheating in weights and grabbing the
soil. The land question which is at the
bottom of the problem of monopoly is
much older than Roosevelt and consid
erably antedates Kang Hi.
Nor does Baron Won Sternberg mean
to imply that the president owes an
unacknowledged debt to Kang Hi for
some of the ideas he has advanced any
more than King Hi owed such debt
to CONTIGUOUS or Moses. Like Homer,
what they saw they went and took,
and the world gained if not by the
origination at least by their application
of already familiar ideas.
A study of Roosevelt does not con-
duce so much to admiration of his orig
inality of expression as to sympathy
with the depth of his feeling. The pres
ident is continually appealing to his
fellow citizens sense of right and he is
continually clapping upon them the re-
sponsibility for action when that sense
of duty has been aroused.
During the last days of the tortuous
debate upon the rate bill in the senate
the president is said to have expressed
a longing that the senators would let
UP on their "yawp' and pass the bill.
This expression is strictly apochryphal,
but it is illustrative. The president
could keep up his interest in a purely
academic discussion Of court review
found his enthusiasm over dialect1c
discussion oozing away while its tide
was still surging madly in the consti-
tutional bosom of Joe Bailey. 1t is at
once a weak and a strong point in Mr..
Roosevelt that he is impatient of de-
| lay This side of his nature has given
his critics their excuse for saying he
is too impulsive to be a safe guide.
Yet there is very little evidence of i'm
pulse in the president. He acts upon
| well-considered grounds, but not neces-
sarily from premises invented by him.
self. Some of them may have been
once the property of Kang Hi, as Baron
Speck intimates. But it will be found
that they are most Of them the COM
mon property of the altruists of the
ages. The main difference between the
president and his opponents is that he
does not see why embedded capital
should not give up those advantages
which do not belong to it but to the
common good. Embedded capital, how
ever, looking at the matter historically
and seeing that it has for a long time
employed those advantages believes the
president must surely have leaped tC
a wrong conclusion in asserting that
they belong to somebody else. Baron
Won Sternberg has perhaps done the
president a service in pointing Out
that the Roosevelt ideas are not the in
vention of an impulsive man Of middle
age, but are part of the common stock
of ideas of those who saw in their day
that justice must from time to time
have her scales tested.
