The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-03-07

Rhode Island is showing signs of
fighting Aldrich and all that Aldricn
implies There are reform forces
abroad. Former Governor Garvin has
organized the democratic party on the
public ownership line and proposes to
learn on what terms Aldrich and mis-
hangers'on control every trolley line
and public service in the state. Even
the republicans have reform bunch
on, and they have bought a newspa-
per, the Providence Journal, vita
which they propose to douche Mr.. Aid
rich early and often.
The Aldrich or Standard Oil candi-
date is Pomeroy Colt, financier, mil
lionaire and close associate Of the
system"
1t would certainly be revolutionary
if anybody under the grade of a mill
ionaire should burst into the senate
from Rhode Island.

ALCOHOL in BREAD.
Enough to Give One About Four Pint,
of Whisky a Year.

Enough to Give One About Four Pinta
of Whisky a Year.
"You consume four pints of whisky
year." said the amateur chemist
"Now, don't be angry or shocked.
know that you're strict teetotaler
but just the same know that you've
absorbed that much alcohol. How
Well, simply by eating bread.
ut has long been known that the fer.
mentatiOn of bread caused the forma.
ton o. alcohol, but it was supposed
that r. px~ed from the dough during
the prAeess Of baking. Several scien
lists Lave proved that bread, when
ready for eating, contains an average
of 800 per cent of alcohol to the loaf
You must remember that in many
countries strong liquors are brewed
from bread. kvass, the mild Russian
beer, is brewed from brown bread.
"Now, II you eat 400 loaves Of bread
every year you must perforce have as
simulated twenty ounces Of alcohol
which equals four pints Of rye whisky
I'm ten years." concluded the anna.
teur chemist impressively, you have
eaten 1900 loaves Of bread, and in
that number Of loaves is about 200
ounces Of alcohol, or the equivalent to
nineteen quarts OF whisky. Think Of
the saturnalia you have been on for
the last ten years, and you never knew
enough to complain Of a big head in
the morning."-New York Press.

OUR LANGUAGE.
The WORDS q Man Uses and the Word
He Might Employ.


How many words are possible? Start
ing from the four and twenty alpha.
bette sounds, Leibnitz calculated the
combinations at 620, AS, 1O1. 1928
739 100000. But many Of these combi
nations would be unpronounceable even
in Welsh. In Chinese every syllable is
separate word.
Does mans stock of words grow rich
er or poorer with time? NJ. MOncaln
foresees an ever higher intellectual des
tiny for the race in the future. "Oul
fathers" he says, did not know the
thousandth part Of our vocabulary
which is very copiOus." Certainly the
New Dictionary is much larger work
than Johnson's, and we doubt not that
primitive man talked less than an NJ
P. does, though even he had his pala.
vers and congresses. But if any one
were to take down the talk Of an aver
age modern undergraduate or society
girl we doubt if it would be found t.
contain more than $50 vocables, where
an educated Elizabethan or Caroline
would have employed several thousand
Nothing is more striking in the ole
prose writer's than the rich variety anG
imaginative picturesqueness Of theil
language. Not only are we lacking in
concrete imagination and ashamed t.
go afield out of the beaten track OF

The Dogs Kennel.

A dogs kennel should always be
placed facing south, so that the ami
NAL may have the light and heat Of
the sun at all seasons Of the year.
Without plenty of sunlight dog will
not keep in health. Straw or pine
shavings form the best bedding for a
dogs kennel and are much superior to
hay or sawdust, which is often used.
Great care should be taken to see that
the bedding is always dry and that it
is changed at least once a week. In
the hot weather bedding is not required
at all. the dog preferring to lie on the
uncovered floor of his kennel.-Home

THE SENATE HAS NO BOSS.

Mr.. Steffens does not mean by this
the ground at least as long as Poult-
ney Bigelow, says the talk about Aid
rich being boss of the senate is all bosh
The senate, he declares, is its own
boss. 1t is a deliberative body.
Mr.. Steffins does not mean by this
that the senate really celebrates. He
would go farther than the cautious
Scotchman, who, while unwilling to
admit that women reasoned, said. in
all candor that they We're intended
as being capable of reason. The
maunderings of the senate, the
speeches never addressed to the SUBJ
ject before the body, the irrelevant
and mostly incompetent flow of talk,
would not be tolerated in a city coun-
Gil, and is not elaboration in a high
sense. The senate celebrates in the
cloak rooms and committee rooms. 1t
there puts itself in trance and learns
by a process best known to itself,
S about exhausted. If this clairvoyant
method shows that the coast is prac-
tically clear for vote, a vote is ar.
ranged for certain day, and SO far
as that bill is concerned the debate is
ended
This comes somewhere near DELHI
Grafton, much nearer than the house
gets when the speaker brings in a
special rule reciting that up to such
a day bill shall be considered under
the head of general debate, and shall
then be considered for three hours
under the five-minute rule, and shall
then be voted upon, and that no
amendment shall be offered. There is
where the sting of the incapacity of
the house to run its own business
appears. The speaker clothes himself
ing amended. Mr.. Steffens says that
when he went to Washington he found
members of the lower house generally
despised. He at first resented this,
but soon came to know that they de.
spised themselves, and he learned to
despise them, too, largely because they
allow the speaker to handle their
affairs without the least spark of
manhood.
