PUBLIC PARK BADLY NEEDED.

The city council can win the ever
lasting gratitude of nearly all of the
people. of Walla Walla by providing
Walla Walla with a public park as
soon as possible. The Statesman has
several times suggested that the two
or three acres owned by the city on
Mill creek in the vicinity of the old
out much expense be converted into
an attractive public park and that it
could be made more serviceable by a
boulevard extending along the south
bank of Mill creek from Otis or Mer-
riam street. This boulevard would
be we'll shaded and would be almost
as attractive as the park itself.
The Statesman has also suggested
that the fOrty-acre park tract on East
Alder street be traded for a smaller
tract nearer the business district thai
the park might be more accessible to
the public generally. Walla Walla Is
sadly behind most towns of its size
in public parks, and any effort of the
city council to supply the need of a
park here would meet with the hearty
approval of a large majority of our
citizens.

THE STAGE.

The stage is a grea educator, in
power second to scarcely any agency
for good or evil in the community. 1t
gets its pupils when they are impress
sionable. 1t leaves its mark indelibly
upon them.
The stage is an institution of unex-
celled Importance in the state. 1t is
an unrestrained portion of the educa-
tional forces. There is none to saw
what it shall teach or how it shall
teach it, 1t is in the hands of the
commercialiZed few who give what
they think will produce the most at
the box office. The box office verdict
is the most ticklish thing on which to
invest capital that can be imagined
For this reason managers are slow to
undertake new plans or put forth new
plays. But gradually there is dawn
ing better day for the stage. Clean
illness is making its way. Such men
as Barrie in England and Richard
Harding Davis in this country have
demonstrated that prurient plays are
not essential to box office success
Their productions, while only lightly
amusing or specifically satirical. are

BACK FROM FURNITURE MARKET
Fred w. kaser of the Davis.kaser
Company Visits Big Furniture
Exhibitions in East.

Fred w. Kaser of the Davis Kaser
company is home from a four week s
visit to the big furniture exhibitions
held recently in Chicago and Minneap-
oils. Interviewed regarding his trip
Mr.. Kaser said:
my visits this season to the large
eastern furniture exhibition were
highly profitable in every way. I had
the privilege of seeing all the latest
lines of furniture manufactured. To
judge by the goods on display at the
exhibitions this year freak designs in
furniture are going out of date. Fur
niture following early English design
is in much favor
ION this trip my purchases of fur
niture were quite extensive and I was
successful in securing some Of the
furniture market is quite stiff. All the
choicest offerings were picked up and
sold before the exhibitions closed.
"While in the east I heard much
that was favorable to Walla WallaA
The people back there are gradually
learning more Of this city and the pro-
ductive valley in which she rests. If
our city was on a main line we would
have more fasteners visit US than we
have at present"

SCOTCH HOME RULE.

March, march Ettrick and Teviotdale
Why deel dinna We march forward
in order?
March, march, Forfar and Liddesdale
All the blue bonnets are over the
border"
Scotland has struck for home rule
On the heels of the demand for a
parliament at Dublin comes one for
the rehabilitation of the old capital at
Edinburg with single chamber legis-
lature to look after Scottish affairs and
the power to impose taxes for local
purposes. The demand is said not tt
be backed by the public opinion of
Scotland. but to be the idea of one
man. But why not? Scotland has her
own work to do as we'll as Ireland?
Her native sons are capable of trans
acting Scotch business. They have
shown that by overlooking into Eng
land and attaching themselves to near
ly all the choice positions in the i'm
peral cabinet Surely Scotchmen who
can steer an empire can row the little
boat of John O. Greats house.
Nothing could so stimulate the just
demand of Ireland for a local parlia-
ment as a similar movement for Scot
land. 1t would take some of the curse
off the Irish demand viewed as a sep
aratist movement if Scotland would
say that the time had come when
purely local affairs should be left to a
subordinate legislature of her own
picking.
1t is evident that this time has come
for both Ireland and Scotland. The
imperial parliament cannot find the
time to properly do its imperial work.
The present session has been marked
by the more arbitrary applications of
the cloture than ever before, though
the liberal party is pledged to free
speech. 1t is stern necessity which
compels the government to shut off
debate. If it did not there would be
scarce time to pass the pressing i'm
perial measures, to say nothing Of Civ
ing consideration to local legislation.
The latter is languishing. The people
are irritated. Business is angry. The
logical escape from the situation is the
setting up of local legislatures, step
| from which the cabinet shrinks as the
| Car of Russia shrinks from the rep
resentative government. The outwOrks
of Imperialism and privilege give way
slowly, but they give way. The twen-
tieth century may see the British en-
pire really federated with local parlia-
| ments sitting in the three divisions OF
the islands besides in the colonies
while an imperial parliament at ST
James, with representatives of India
| Canada, Australia, as we'll as of the
United Kingdom, joins in declaring
the national policy of the whole EN-.
pire. This is surely more logical than
the spectacle of Yorkshire squires and
Aberdeen dominies lording it over vast
domains they never saw and probably
never will see

owners seemed to have just complaints.
In the case of Miss LOuga it was
shown that three of her buildings on
West Main street between Fourth and
Fifth have been empty since last jan
uary. Mottett Brothers also asked for
a reduction of their assessment on the
Valley House building, the lower
floor not having been occupied since
the building was erected nearly two
years ago.
The principal objection was to the
manner in which the valuations had
owners claiming that to graduate
values by blocks, taking Second street
as a basis is not a fair way to make
the assessments as property west of
Fourth street deteriorates in value
much more rapidly than land between
Second and Fourth street, recognized
as the most valuable property on Main
street
Several members Of the council took
the view that property west of Sixth
street cannot be classed as business
property. Some of the property own
ers seem to think the excessive val
uations were placed on property in
that vicinity on the ground that the
new passenger depot is to be placed
at the foot of Main street although
Assessor Bergman denied that the
railroad improvements had anything
to do in fixing the valuations.

criticizes Secretary Root severely for
undertaking to bring about an agree
ment to stop pelagic sealing in Behr
ing sea- He objects because he thinks
this is going to be very profitable
arrangements for the North American
Commercial company and at the ex
pense of the natives of the Aleutian
islands
Evidently this member of the house
committee on appropriations thinks
that the people in the employ of the
company who kill the seals are natives
of the Pribylov islands and have first
right to the seals. The Pribylov is
ands had no inhabitants prior to their
discovery by the man whose name
| they bear The Russians had taken
seals at sea for many years before they
| discovered the rOokeries on these two
| low lying islands $50 miles north of
| the Aleutian chain. The Aleuts who
live on the islands now are the de-
scendants of people taken from the
Aleutian islands to the Pribylov is
lands for the purpose Of killing seals
for the Russian company having the
dugouts and sod houses called barrab-
kies. samples of which are still to be
no iC1
better than caves.
With the acquisition of the islands
by the United States and the granting
of the sealing privilege to an American
company, it was provided that the
natives should be furnished with bet
ter homes and the village in which
they live on st. Paul island, the larger
of the two, consists Of white frame
story and-a-half houses and presents
on the green slope of the island a very
attractive appearance. The housing
and the condition of these Aleuts is
certainly vastly better than that of
other natives of Alaska who are not
so employed. Anyone who has observ-
ed the condition Of natives of Alaska
generally cannot but feel that by COM
parison with their kindred elsewhere
Russian church in which they were
reared and schools and their earnings
are sufficient for their wants.
1t is true that the island is not Wis
tied by commercial ships except those
of the company having the concession,
but this is a provision made by the
government for the purpose of keep |
ing poachers out of the fisheries con-
ceded to the company. The natives
have no facilities for leaving the is
lands in large numbers, but the is
lands are visited frequently by the
revenue cutters and if the Aleuts there
wished to change their residence or to
make complaint Of their condition they
have opportunity.
The suspension of pelagic sealing
will undoubtedly benefit the business
of the concessonaries because sus-
pension of such poaching for short |
time will result in the rapid increase |
Of fur bearing seals, which are now |
nearly extinct as the result of pelagic |
sealing, which destroys the mothers
at sea while their young are left upon |
the rookeries to starve. The seal fish
cries of our Alaska possessions are
capable of being made sources of
large revenue to the government and
becoming a very much more important
industry, but this cannot be done
while the sea in the vicinity of the
islands is infested with japanese
poachers and other poachers sailing
under the Japanese flag.
