recommend law prohibiting all
corporations from contributing to the
campaign expenses Of any party.
The crime of rape or assault to
commit rape should be punished with
death.
1t should be our aim to steadily
reduce the number of hours of labor
with as goal the general introduc-
tion of an eight-hour day.
1.-THE ownership of coal lands should
remain in the United States, which
should not however attempt to work
them, but permit them to be worked
by private individuals under royalty
system, the government seeing that
no excessive price is charged consum-
ers.
The best way to avert the very
undesirable move for the governmental
ownership of railways is to secure by
the government on behalf of the peo-
pie adequate control and regulation of
the great interstate common carriers.
"There is no more legitimate tax
for any state than tax on the fran
chises conferred by that state upon
street railroads and similar corpora
tions.
"The national government should
impose gradual inheritance tax and
if possible graduated income tax.
"The whole question of marriage
and divorce should be relegated to the
authority of the national congress.
"Our present system of finance is
seriously defective.
''This hostility toward the Japanese
is sporadic and is limited to very
few places. Nevertheless it is most
discreditable to US as people. and it
may be fraught with the gravest con-
sequence to the nation.
"To shut the Japanese out from the
public schools is wicked absurdity.
ut is only very small body of
our citizens that act badly. Where
the federal government has power it
will deal summarily with any such.

an act be passed specifically providing
for the naturalization of japanese who

WHITMAN COUNTY
IN SEVENTH CLASS
Commissioners Raise County Class
ification on Basis of Population.

The county officers elect have re-
ceived substantial Christmas present
at the hands of the county commits
sioners in the raise of salary conse-
duent upon the advancing of Whitman
county from the 9th to the 7th class.
The class of a county is determined
by its population, Whitman county
having been placed in the 9th class at
the time of the admission of the
state, population of from $4,000 to
10000 being necessary to place it in
that class. A computation of the
present population shows more than
the $4,000 necessary to place the
county in the 7th class.
The only material change that
comes under the new classification is
in the advanced salaries of the county
officers, the increase being as fol-
lows:
Auditor, from $1,000 to $500; clerk
from $500 to $500; treasurer, from
$3.50 to $1,000; sheriff, from $1,000 to
$500; prosecuting attorney, from
$1,000 to $500; superintendent Of
schools, from $1,000 to $4,000; assessor,
from $1,000 to $500; coroner, from
per diem fees to $500 per annum

ENGINEER BRANDS BRAVERY

A writer in Spokane paper tells
the following story of Engineer Brand.
who lost his life in the Northern Pa
cific wreck last week, Brand having
been in wreck on the same road sew
enteen years ago.
In August, 1889, Brand was runn-
ing an engine pulling freight trains
between Pullman and Spokane. Leav-
ing Rosalia one hot afternoon he was
trying to make up lost time and was
running at high speed, when a bull
attempted to cross the track ahead of
the train. He was struck and thrown
under the engine, which was lifted
from the track and hurled into the
ditch. Brands fireman attempted to
climb out of the window of the cab,
but Brand, thinking and acting with
lightning rapidity, saw the danger,
for the fireman was going out of the
side next to the track and on which
the cars were coming. Brand seized
the fireman and jerked him back in
time to save him from being crushed
to death, but he did not get his hand
drawn back through the window and a
car crushed against the side of the
cab, tearing the ends off his fingers.
Had it not been for Brands presence
of mind and his unselfshness in think
ing Of his fireman rather than trying
to save himself, the latter would have
been crushed to death. This act,
which was repeated at the time he lost
his life, shows the unselfshness OF
the man, who had friends in all parts
of eastern Washington, where he had
been known for m any years.

TRAINING VETERINARIANS
AT THE STATE COLLEGE

Since the establishment of a de-
partment of Veterinary Science at the
State College, there has been a steady
growth in the number of students in
attendance, as well as lalrge in.
crease it he number and variety of
cases brought to the attention of the
students. Early in the history of the
department it was recognized as es-
sential to have large clinic for the
instruction of students in the practical
application of the principles taught in
books. Accordingly, the afternoons
are devoted to the holding of surgical
clinics, when all cases presented are
given the knowledge of the faculty
and veterinarians, free of charge to
the owner.
The method employed has been ex-
tremely satisfactory to the faculty
and the student body, and from the
constant increase in the number of
cases brought in for treatment, must
be meeting with the approval of the
stock men in general. After a close
examination of the afflicted animal,
the case is thoroughly analyzed by the
professor and the class, after which a
diagnosis is given and the probabili-
ties of relief explained to the owner.
If of a surgical nature, the operation
is usually performed by a student
under the immediate supervision of
the professor. In this way the ope-
rator and the rest of the class get the
most possible benefit from the work
performed. The operating room in
which the clinics are held is a large,
well lighted room, equipped with an
operating table, sterilizing apparatus,
and a collection of instruments of
the most improved type. One feature
of the operating room is the main
tenance of absolutely antiseptic con-
ditions. Bacteria that wander into
this operating room rarely go out
alive. The most absolute cleanliness
is also insisted upon.
A large, commodious hospital is
maintained in connection with the de-
partment, containing a number of
single and box stalls for horses, be-
sides wash rooms etc., and a set of
dog kennels and cages for the smaller
animals. Horses and carriages are
kept in readiness at all times, to take
students to cases which cannot be
brought to the hospital, thus pre-
senting to the students that phase of
a busy practitioners life-emergency
work-which he would otherwise miss.
That the free clinic is appreciated
mostly by those who know it best is
demonstrated by the increasing at

CONGRESS ON SPELLING
REFORM.

President Roosevelt used the simpli-
fed spelling in his recent message to
congress, and statistician has figured
out that the new system saved just
134 letters in total of 125, 900 in the
message. That congress does not
take kindly to the Roosevelt diction-
ary was evidenced Wednesday when
the following amendment was tackled
on an appropriation bill, and passed
by heavy majority after considera-
BILE debate:
"No money appropriated by this act
shall be used in connection with print
ing documents authorized by law or
ordered by congress, or any branch
thereof, unless the same shall con-
form to the photography recognized
and used by dictionaries of the Eng
lish language.

in the defeated Hunslc-
ker bill. Is it justice; that because
the assessment of the Union Sulphur
Company was increased from $500, 900
to s.. 900, 900 that the compensation of
the tax collector for writing this re-
ceipt should be increased $1,000 as is
the case. Mark these things Mr.. Tax
payer and think of them when you are
told that, if, you want pane Of glass
or a new stove in your school house,
you must take up q collection for the
same as the parish school funds are
depleted. Think of these things to
calm your temper this fall when you
are digging your load of rice out of
the bOttomless pit. called public
road. and you wonder what has be-
come of your tax money that none OF
it ever gets back in the shape of better
roads. Don't curse the tax collector,
the sheriff or clerk. They are human
and. draw their salary the law allows
them the same as you or | would do.
But quietly promise yourself thatyour
vote will help defeat the men who have
proven themselves traitors to the trust
imposed in them when they were cleo
ted to represent free people.

The Hunstcker bill 70 reduce the eX-
orbitant fees of the tax collectors,
failed to pass the house Thursday by
vote of 81 nays to ~ yeas. 1t re-
curing IS yeas to pass the bill. This
bill provided for allowing the tax col
lector five per cent. on the first 500
900 collected and one per cent on all
taxes collected over this amount, the
same to 90 into effect in 1908, thus
working no hardship upon the present
incumbents of the office, as their term
will have expired by that date. Had
this bill become law it would easily
have saved the state 100000 per an
mum. Yet even in the face of the pres
ent threatened deficiency, when our
fair state is threatened with bankrupt
cv. men who were elected by the peo-
pie and who are supposed to repre-
sent the interests of the people, con-
tinue to 1Oist this unjust burden upon
tax ridden constituency, in order
that the ward bosses in certain OF the
more prosperous parishes may have
fat Jobs. with little to do but draw
princelv salaries. We are confronted
today by most humiliatiug spectacle:
A legislature having to reconsider
the whole of its appropriations and
cutting to the minimum every chart
table and educational institution In
the state as well as curtailing every
appropriation for the advancement of
public interest, in order to bring the
sum total of the appropriations with
in the limits of the amount of revenue
which will be collected during the next
two years. and at the same time keep
ing on the statute books of the state a
law which permits the people to be
robbed of 800, 600 per annum.
Is there any reason why the parish
tax collector of New Orleans should
receive 100000 for collecting taxes
similar to which the city collects fol
$1,000. Is there any justice in paying
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year fol

Political Duties Sacred.

Lafayette Gazette: In an excellent
address to the graduating class OF the
Industrial Institute last Tuesday,
Hon. Walter j. Burke undertook to
impress upon his young auditors
their duty as citizens. He laid down
the somewhat novel proposition that
every young man and woman should
enter boldly and actively into politics,
not however for office or graft but to
secure an honest and efficient admin
istration of the affairs of government.
Politics is not office-seeking or plum
der of the public treasury, but the sci
ence of government, and it might be
we'll to ponder the truth of the ancient
maxim, that office confers no honor
upon a man who is worthy of it. 1t is
q matter of shame and discredit that
American politics are far below the
ideal that too often sunk in the mire
of corruption. The advice therefore
given the young people is most wise
and timely aud if generally needed by
the rising generation may rectify the
MANY abuses that have fastened upon
the body polite of our great nation

Schools and Politics.

Ruston Leader: Won't pedagogy
be in the swim when the legislature
presses law to compel all the children
to 60 to school. There will be school
houses on every hill and in every dale:
public roads and by-paths will be dot
ted with them, and there will be from
two to five teachers for each school
house. The taxes will have to be
raised to provide money enough to
pay the teachers for each school house.
And teachers salaries always 60 up
with taxes. The State has quite a
corps Of teachers n0w-so many that
the numbers threaten to break into
politics and control the elections.
