The trial commenced today before Judge

1T involves Congressman Binger hermann.
Congressman j. II. Williamson, State SEN

be a real and serious misfortune for
the country to recognize"
Mr.. Roosevelt then enters on a review
of the work OF the congress and the
important measures passed by il, meas
Ures which he says are more than i'm
portant in any partisan sense because
they subserve the welfare of the whole
people.
He gives credit to congress in the
matter Of the Panama canal, saying:
THE interests banded together to OPP
pose the canal are numerous and Bit
ter and most OF them with a peculiar.
~ sinister basis for their opposition.
Had congress been either timid or cor
rupt and had not the leaders of con-
gress shown the most far-sighted reso-
luton in the matter, the work of build
ing the canal would never have been
begun. or if begun, would now have
halted"
FaVors More Warships.
Strong approval Is expressed of the
attitude of congress toward the up
building of the navy, and then the
president takes up the measures deal
ing with government regulation Of
business.
The tremendous social and indus
trial changes i'm our nation" he says,
have rendered evident the need of a
larger exercise by the national gov
eminent of it's power to deal with the
business use Of wealth and especially
of corporate wealth, in interstate bust
ness. II is not too much TO say that
the course of congress within the last
few years and the hearty agreement
between the executive and legislative
departments Of the nation i'm taking the
needed action each within its sphere,
have resulted in the nation for the first
time definitely entering upon the career
of proper performance of duty in these
matters.
Speaks From Experience.
1T is a very easy thing to play the
demagogue in this matter. 10 confine
ones self merely to denouncing the
evils of wealth and to advocate often in
vague language, measures so sweep
ing that while they would entirely fail
10 correct the evils aimed at, they un-
doubtedIy would succeed in bringing
down the prosperity of the nation with
a crash. But II Is not easy TO do, as
the present congress and the immedi-
ate predecessors have done; that Is,
sternly TO disregard alike the self in
terest of those who have prohted by
the present evils and the wild clamor
of those who care less TO do away with
them IMAM 10 make reputation Win
tho unthinking of standing in extreme
opposition to them. But this is precise
~ what the present congress has done.
The previous congress, by the enact
ment Of the Elkins law and by the
creation of the department of COM
merce and labor. including the bureau
of corporations, had enabled us to make
great strides in advance along the path
of thus bringing the use of wealth in
business under the supervision and
regulation of the national government
for i'm actual practice il has proved a
sham and pretense 10 say that the sew
eral states can thus supervise and reg.
ulate it,"
President Roosevelt reviews and ap-
proves the measures taken TO secure
certain rights to wageworkers, includ-
ing the employers liability law and the
eight-hour law.

There IS MUSIC IN THE AIR
Ritzville Band in Great Demand,
Not Only At Home But in
Outside Cities.

Ritzville is growing phenomenally pop
ular IN the musical world. Some of the
people about town may have heard cas-.
ual remarks. some may know the truth
of the matter. others may know nothing
of our truly great name as musical
center.
Tuesday afternoon telegram was re-
ceived from Spokane requesting the
Ritzville Orchestra to play two evening
programs at one Of the most popular Of
Spokane's parks.
The boys disliked the idea of travelling
all the way to Spokane and after arriving
there to play two strong programs. be-
cause they thought justice to themselves
and the city could not be secured after a
long and dusty ride. They wrangled
considerably over the money question.
until finally a fabulous amount was Of
fered them if they agreed to play. 1t
looked good" to them and they thought
it would boost the stock of Ritzville
about 200 per cent. so away went our
brave boys to Spokane on the 8:Is train
Tuesday evening.
Every person in town is anxious to
nervousness to learn of the success of
the boys, and when our symphony or
chestra returns it will be assured one
great ovation-success or failure.
The boys have done everything in
their power to raise the standard of their
playing. and have succeeded in meas
ure far beyond the most sanguine hopes
of the persons foremost in music in Ritz
vile.
1t WAS thought at one time to bring a
director from Vienna. but the boys
learned he was incompetent to lead their
organization through the classical folios
of their repertoire. and Of course the pro-
fessor was dropped as parvenu in the
sphere Of music.
Long ere this the boys have won lau-
rels of fame. and are now playing the
dance of the MUSES." in rare, good
style. LET US HOPE.
