New York continues to wonder at
1.-The tremendous speculation in real
estate" in progress there. But New
York is not the only point. Everybody
knows of 1.-THE California BOOM and
the inflated prices obtained there. 1t Is
not so well known that the farmers In
Illinois and Indiana are mortgaglng
their property to buy speculative land
in the southwest. 1t is like the craze
for land speculation which possessed
Kansas and other states in 1885. The
fact is that some of the best in
yestments in real estate today are TO
be found right here in Walla Walia,
and it has the advantage of lying
where you can see it, Prices here have
been steadily strengthening based on
the steady, and now, rapidly increasing
growth.

Supreme Court Denies Petition Of
WV. R0Wen
HE WAS CONVICTED OF EMBEzzLEMENT
MADE APPLICATION FOR WRIT
OF HABEAs CORPUS At
OLYMPIA.

w. w. ROwen, who was convicted i'm
Clallam cunty of embezzlement and
sentenced to three years imprison-
ment, will have to go to prison, the
supreme court having denied the petit
ton for a writ of habeas corpus, and
having also dismissed the appeal.
Rowen was made vice-president and
general manager of lumber company
He mortgaged the mill for $1,000. and
also marketed some shingles shortly
after he received authority to manage
the plant.
The company went into the hands of
receiver. In the receivership pro-
ceedings Rowen's conduct came to the
attention of the Judge, who sent for
the prosecuting attorney and told him
to file an information. In the habeas
corpus proceeding William O'Connor
sought to show that the judge became
partisan and usurped the functions
of the prosecutor. The supreme court
evidently took little stock in the con-
tention.

DECLARES FOR FREE TRADE.

The liberal party, having won a tre-
mendous victory in the recent British
election. as it claimed, upon the ques-
ton of free trade versus protection,
thought fit to clinch it's triumph by
declaration in the house of commons.
1t took the form of a resolution intro
duced by a private member, but sup
ported by the government and ex-
pressed in these terms:
THAT this house, recognizing that
in the recent general election the peo-
pie of the United Kingdom had d.
monstrated their unqualified fidelity to
the principles and practice of free
trade, deems it right to record its de-
termination to resist any proposal,
whether by way of taxation of foreign
corn or of the creation of a general
tariff upon foreign goods, to create in
this country a system of protection
This resolution, which appears to
have been cunningly devised to divide
the poor remains of the conservative
party in parliament, carried by a vote
of 474 to 90. Seven uniOnists voted
with the government on the motion
and several others, headed by Sir Ed
ward Clarke, former attorney general,
conveniently escaped from the house
before the vote was taken. On the
fiscal question the government ap-
majority in line, while the opposition
was no more united in the house than
it was at the polls.

ANOTHER AMERICAN TRIUMPH.

The impasse at Algeciras appears to
have been gotten around by the deft-
ness in diplomacy of the American
delegates acting in direct cOmmunca-
ton with the president and Secretary
Root. The only live question remain
ing at Algeciras was the policing of
MorOcco's frontier. France claimed as
a neighbor in Algiers a special terri
tOrial position and demanded the di-
rection of the police department. Ger
many resisted this and made a coun-
ter proposition of an information police
merely make more chances for fric-
ton between France and Germany,
and the delegates were loath to enter
upon the dangerous experiment. The
Austrian delegates suggested a joint
force captained by French and Span
ish officers. This looked to Germany
very much like a French force in dis
guise, and was rejected by her
representatives. The American dele
gates came forward with proposal for
the creation of an inspector who should
report both to the sultan of Morocco
and the diplomatic corps at Tangier
This suggestion has apparently been
accepted by both France and Germany.
1t gives France the first hand con-
troll of the police, but it makes ample
provision for protection of German in
police force should try any tricks.
The United States entered the con-
ference as one of the signatory powers
of the treaty of 1880, but not without
some mutterings from the anti -impe-
rialist wing of American politics. The
United States. they claimed, had no
business there and was merely making
trouble for itself and taking chances
of foreign embodiment. The presi-
dent was, however. clear that there
was an open-door question involved
and he sent delegates to the conference
to look after that The fact that thew
have been able incidentally to make
suggestions that relieved the uncom-
Portable tension between two great
European powers is altogether credit
able to them and another tribute to the
fact that this countrys representa-
tons have great weight with our
neighbors because they are understood
to be disinterested.

WHY ROCKEFELLER HIDES.

Some curiosity has been expressed
as to why Mr.. Rockefeller should con-
ceal himself so carefully at Lakewood
in New Jersey against process servers
from New York. The New York dep
uties cannot serve New York subpoe-
mas in New Jersey, and yet he hid
himself as carefully in New Jersey, ap-
parently, as he did in New York 1t
appears from a statement in the Phil
adelphia North American that what
Mr.. Rockefeller is lodging is a pro-
cess server from the United States
court for his appearance to testify in
case brought by French oil refining
firm against the Pennsylvania railroad.
The railroad is accused of having
granted rebate to the Standard Oil
company not only on the oil shipped by
the Standard. but also on that shipped
by the French company They want
Mr.. Rockefeller to tell about it, and
he doesn't wish to. So we have the
spectacle of the richest man in the
world driven to cover. hiding from the

THE LIFE TENURE OF THE FED
ERAL BENCH.

A Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun goes little farther than
anything else we have seen in print
in discussing the recent decision of the
federal court in the beef-trust case.
1t suggests a feeling of indignation as
well as disappointment in Washing
ton at that decision. 1t indicates
that no such conclusion was antici-
pated, and while under the law there
appears to be no chance for appeal
there is a very settled opinion that
the decision is wrong.
This decision has brought out very
prominently the great power vested
in the federal bench. On the say so
of federal judge, policies and pur-
poses undertaken by the legislative and
executive departments in compliance
with the popular will may be absolute
ly paralyzed In such a case as this.
involving the guilt or innocence of the
members of the beef trust there ap-
pears to be no appeal from the lowest
order of the federal bench, and mis-
take there is irreparable. 1t is true
that legislation may remedy the evil
in cases of this kind; that legislation
might have provided for such an emer-
gency, thought it has not done so. But
legislation cannot provide for all emer-
gencies and ultimate authority rests in
the federal judiciary. The confidence
Of the public has rested in the integri-
ty of that branch of the government
When it is forfeited the very existence
ened. We must be able to believe in
the courts. Unless that confidence is
fully justified and can be maintained
the federal judiciary will have to be
made responsible to the people, as are
the other departments, and appoint
ment for life, subject only to impeach-
ment for malfeasance in office, will
have to be abandoned for election by
| the people.
This would be radical departure
but it will surely come when the judi
ciary becomes the subject of suspi-
cion. Within the past year and q
half three federal judges have been
! compelled to resign and suspicion has
arisen with regard to others. We
may not be so far from the radical
change just spoken of as we think.

1.-THE CHRISTIAN"

One Of the best productions ever at
the Keylor Grand theatre will be that
of Hall Gaines powerful play "The
Christian" The management has
spared no expense to give it's patrons
a perfect performance in every detail
Fifty people will be used to carry out
effects, the original incidental music
and correct costumes are employed.
Briefly, the play tells the story of
the love of a rich mans son for par
sons daughter. From the land of the
ManXman, the scene shifts to London.
John Storm, refused the hand of Glory
Quayle, starts a mission in the slums,
while the girl becomes a famous
singer. John pleads with her to leave
the stage, but she refuses. Then fol-
lows a duel, John Storm fighting for
her soul, and crowd of rich and dis
solute men for her body. A climax is
reached when John believes he can
only save her soul by annihilating her
body AS he is about to murder her
she tells him of her love for him and
his purpose is changed. When he was
high in the eyes of the world Glory
trifled with his heart, but when hunted
by the mob, set upon by Lord Robert,
Inv h and do
feated at every turn, the woman can
no longer hold herself from John, and
stands by his side ito have and to
hold" This is a mere outline of the
plot There are other stories involved
and a strong contrast of characters
scamps, miscellaneous hui
mainly is shown. 1t is certainly re-
grettable that John Storm makes an
entrance at the moment Brother Paul
has his hands encircling the throat
Of Lord Robert. The nobleman es-
capped so completely from the penalty |
deserved for his rascalities that a lit |
tie rough usage at the hands of the
man he has dishonored through his !
sisters shame, would not be amiss. |
These feelings of animosity are not |
according to the teachings of "The |
Christian" John Storm, but they are
the prompting of human nature-an !,

Beauty" and Beauty and the Beast
The Drury Lane book was made by
Messrs. Arthur Collins and ]. H. Good,
and they have so interviewer the two
fairy stories, that underlying the spec
tacle, is the old and always interest
ing motive Of the conflict between
good and evil; the powers of good be-
ing represented by the queen of the
fairies and her court, while the witch

powers of evil, over which the good
finally triumphs.

THE ALCOHOL BILL.

1t is about twenty years since Sen
ator Platt of Connecticut in reporting
on the proposal to free alcohol used IN
the arts from taxation declared:
ut has been an unquestioned prln-
ciple of American taxation that inter-
nal revenue taxes should not be laid
on articles of domestic production ne
cessarily used in the production OF
other articles. To tax an article of our
own growth or manufacture is to I'M
pose upon the consumer of ither artl-
cles. in the production of which the
taxed article must necessarily be en-
ployed, burden to which he ought
not to be subjected
This is the principle upon which the
bill for the free use of denaturlZed al
cohol in the arts is based. The bill
which has been agreed to in a sub
committee of the ways and means
committee of the house will prob
ably soon be reported by the full
committee If congress finds the time
and strength to consider and pass this
political measure it will do great
thing for the consumers of the country
in taking off them an extra tax, which
they ought not to bear. Congress as q
ruIe does not make much of the con-
sumers except at election times anC
here is a chance for it to reform.
