The movement in Walla Walla to
organize $4,000 club, having an OBJ
ject similar to that of the 15O, 900 club
in Spokane, is one that should receive
the hearty support of every person in
that thriving and progressive city.

ultimate success of the proposition as
there is of the result of the effort be.

Long years in power, lax in manage
ment and slow to punish pilferers,
speculators and plunderers, is it any
wonder that grating fiourishes under
the government at Washington? Red
tape is purchased in large quantities.
The war department pays therefor
SLAP dozen spools; the state departs

cost the navy department. 25 cents a
dozen, while the interior department
paid $1.10 dozen. Mucilage costs

In the democratic ranks there are
number of men who would ably re-
present the county and the common
wealth in the legislature. But por-
tion of the legislative officers have
brought out democratic candidates up
to this time. 1t is Imperative that
candidates for the legislature come to
the front with petitions and get be-
fore the people. The principal ele-
ments of party organization lie in
legislative inspiration. With this in
spiration removed, or allowed to
dwindle into dormant state party
life and effort is doomed to decay.

EULoGIzING TRE SENATE.
Walla Walla Bulletin.

Some papers object to criticism Of
the senate. They admit that almost
the entire press has been guilty of this
sin, but they object. There are, of
course, two sides of all questions, and
it does not require Daniel Webster
to present another aspect It is glad
ly admitted that theere are some good
senators.
But where there is smoke there is
generally FIRE. The press says what
the people think and when almost the
whole American press condemns the
slowness of the senate in meeting
Roosevelt's reform measure, it is not
wise to suggest that the people be

The pure food bill has been dis

decade and only the other day that
slow moving body chose to pass it,
thanks to the diplomatic agitation of
Senator Hepburn. This does not look
well. Why should any sensible body
of men object to a measure which
bears on its face the marks of supreme
wisdom?
1t is well that both sides should be
presented. It is only fair to the sem
ate and to the public. But in gen.
eral harangue about sthe greatest law

wholesale condemnation of its critics
as "demagogues, notoriety seekers and

elusive evidence. Then, too, it is

Several subcommittee were appointed for
the purpose of carrying on the work. and

Duty of Citizenship.
1T is a peculiar pleasure to me to greet
you today, and no body of our fellow
citizens can have a greater calm to heing
received at the White House than body
like this, which stands for the fundamental
duty of American citizenship-the duty OF
self-educatfon. l am, of course, We all
must be. peculiarly Interested in tie kind
of development of which, L am glad to say
/ think, We can accept this school as typ
cal. There are great many very, very eN-
cellent. charitable people in the country,
but some of them tend TO forget at times
that the only charity that does permanent
good is that kind of charity that is not
charity at all. that teaches some one how
to help himself or herself The only way IN
which any section Of our citizens, of no
matter what color. can be permanently
benefited is by teaching them to pull their
own weight. to do their own duty. their
duty to themselves, their duty to their
neighbors their duty to the state at large.
Serve as an Example.

this is a type. just for instance, as l feel
about Mr.. Washington's school at Tuskegee,
that one of the reasons they are so good Is
that they can serve example of which
we should try to develop just as many
schools of the kind as we can for the white
people just much as for the colored peo-
pie. The white man needs just as much as
the colored man to learn that for the aver
age man the education that fits him to do
work in life is industrial Other things
shall be added to it, ought to be added
to ii, but that must remain as The basis.
''Of course, Miss Dean. the good that
comes with any such school as this Is In
creased tenfold when the school is founded,
you founded this, and as Mr.. Washing
ton founded Tuskegee, by q colored man
or a colored woman to help the colored
boys and coored girls of today to make the
