A LITTLE SENATE GRAFT.

An interesting story is told of how
the senate figured it out to pay Burton
Of Kansas his mileage. Burton Is con-
structively a member of the senate
but actually he has been warned not
to appear On the floor He just hangs
about the cloakrooms and the cor
ridors, probably smoking cigarettes
and wishing the United States courts
were in Jericho.
Recently the senate mileage &C.
count came up and it became necessary
for some employee of the senate to GER
tify that he had seen the Kansas SEN
ator in the chamber. This was diff
cult since the senate itself has warned
him to keep out. But Mr.. Burton was
induced to stand in the doorway and
an employee was stationed so ne could
see him from the floor. He thereupon
posted off in haste and made affidavit
that the senator from Kansas was ''in
attendance"
This comes under the same head as
the people paying for the manicuring
of senatorial nails and flesh brushing
after the senatorial "bawth." Mr.
Burton is not a member of the senate
in the sense that he is doing anything
for the people of his state He Is, sem
atorially speaking, in a state of sus-
pended animation. Should the court
of last resort sustain mis- conviction he
would cease Immediately to be a men,
Der of the senate. Should his con-
viction be finally set aside he would
be in the position of a senator who
from illness Or another cause had been
unable to attend the session of the sem
ate. He is entitled to no mileage and
the payment to MIN is a petty graft

VOLUNTEER AT THE HEAD


One of the thorns in the flesh OF
General Miles when he was com
mander-in- chief of the army was the
fact that he was not a West Pointer
He entered the army in the civil war
as volunteer from Massachusetts and
rose through all the ranks to that of
senior major general, which gave him
the command under the old system
But he never got on we'll with the ad-
ministration, and when he retired as
lieutenant general after the Spanish
war, it was with a feeling that the
West Pointers in the army had never
given him very cordial support because
he was not one Of them.
But it is a curious fact that the first
chief of staff under the new system,
Adna r. Cnaffee, was not West
Pointer either; and it is further
worthy Of note tina three of General
Chaffee's successors in office, Bates,
Corbin and Macarthur, are not West
Pointers. Two of them, Corbin and
Macarthur, had difficulty in getting into
the army at all, and Bates owed his
appointment directly to President Lin
coin, who commissioned him a second
lieutenant. The others enlisted as
privates.
The army appears to have done we'll
under the guidance of men who learned
the art of war in the actual school of
the battlefield and camp.
1t is tribute to the genius Of the
American people and our democratic
institutions that so many men have
risen by the sheer force of merit to the
highest rank in the army and have
there acquitted themselves with credit
to their country. West Point may be
necessary in the long run, but it must
be evident that it is not Indispensable.

AN IMPOTENT RAILWAY
COMMISSION.

Chairman Fairchild of the state rail-
way commission is reported to have
confessed in an interview at Seattle
that the railway commission mas made
an agreement with the Hartman rail-
road in this state that no attempt shall
be made to lower wheat rates from
eastern Washington to tidewater until
Hartman completes his line from Port
land to Seattle. That is certainly a
remarkable agreement to be made by a
commission that is given by the law
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-02-12

creating it power to make new rates in
the place of rates adjudged unjust and
unreasonable.
The commission gives as an excuse
an opinion by Washington's attorney
general, briefless lawyer on his eleva-
ton from the schoolroom to his pres
a recent decision of the United States
supreme court in a Nebraska case, a
state commission has no power to
lower railroad rates without ascertain
ing the cost of the railroad per mile,
it's running expenses, interest charges,
ETC., in order to determine whether
or not the new rae would be remuner-
alive. If the decision is as far-reach-
ing as the Washington commission
would have us believe, that board might
as we'll go home and draw their sal
aries for the remainder of their term
without the pretense of doing anything.
They tell us in effect that they can do
nothing to reduce railroad rates ex-
cept by coaxing the railroads to make
voluntary concessions If this be true
the commission is as weak, spineless
and useless as the railway commission
that for several years encountered the
state of Oregon.
nonn1o oonQro11U will
accept the excuses given by the WASH
ington commission for its mastery in
activity. 1t looks very much to a man
up a tree as If Governor Mead, who
was nominated at the dictation of the
railroads, had appointed commission
that is under secret pledge to heed
the advice of George Stevenson or
some other Hartman representative
as to the regulation of railroad rates
in this state. If the commission
wished to ascertain the approximate
cost of the railroads of the state it
could easily do so by calling in ex-
pert railroad builders. 1t has the
power under the law to examine the
books of the railroad companies for any
other data that it may need in fixing
a fairly remunerative rate on wheat.
If it does not use the powers given
it under the law, the people of the
state will have good reason for be-
hn Ice r..
ers it's obligations to the railroad cor
porations paramount to the interests
Of the people. In viewing the present
attitude of the commission, it is easy
to understand why the railroads finally
allowed the Fairchild commission bill
to become law without a fight. They
had no fear of a good law in the hands
of a commission chosen by themselves.

SEE WILD MAN IN HIS CAVE.
James McLay, While Hunting, En-
counters Mysterious Creature.

counters mysterious creature.
NANAIMO, B. c., Feb. Thames
McLay, of Gabriola island, the re-
discoverer of Malispina Gallery, has
made another remarkable discovery on
the island The Vancouver island wild
man, strange and wierd tales Of whom
have been reported from different parts
of the island from time to time, has
been seen by Mr.. McLay. Several
days ago, in company with a trapper,
Mr.. McLay was hunting in the north
east end of the island Hearing noises
and mumblings, as if proceeding from
some strange animal, they started to
investigate.
A few feet up the side of a precipice
they perceived a cave, from which the
noises seemed to emanate. Creeping
carefully up, they were rooted to the
ground with establishment to perceive
the wild man in the cave rocking him.
self to and fro with folded arms and
mumbling in a strange language, IN
which the trapper recognized broken
phrases of French, whicr. translated
ran something like this:
Damn! Damn Johnnie Bull and
Wolfe. They kill me people in
Quebec"
The description they give of the wild
mans appearance is practically the
same as that told by Mike King, of
Victoria, and others who have seen
this strange creature, differing only in
this particular-that on this occasion
the "mowgli" had a girdle of leaves
around him. When seen before he was
always absolutely naked. He is
giant in size, very powerful looking,
and covered with long hair all over his
body many inches in length. From the
fact that the only Ineligible words he
uttered are French, it is presumed that
he is a French Canadian. What con-
nection there is between johnnie
Bulr' and Wolfe, in Quebec, and the
man is hard to say Wolfe captured
Quebec in 1854, and it may be possible
that some of his ancestors fell while
defending the city at that time.
While the two were gazing at him he
suddenly looked up, discovering their
presence. For few seconds not
movement was made on either side,
until the trapper reached to lean mis-
gun up against a rock, which action
the wild man evidently interpreted as
hostile movement, for, giving vent
to his usual half man-like, half wild
beast-like shrieks, ne leaped fully 10
feet from the cave into the water and
swan outwards, using a stick rudely
paddle shaped at either end to help
him in his progress, kicking his feet
and padding at the same time, pro-
crossing through the water with the
speed of an average canoe. Going up
the shore line a short way, where Mr..
McLay and his badly frightened COM
panion could not follow him, the wild
man made for shore and disappeared
with the alacrity of deer through the
dense underbrush. Although vigilant
search has been made by different par
ties since he was seen last week, no
more sight or tidings have been re-
ceived of the wild man.
