who relinqushed his office as assistant
state insurance commissioner about a
month ago, to accept a position in
Spokane, will resume his former du-
ties in the insurance office about the
middle of this week. Mr.. Schively went
to Spokane to accept the position as
president of the Pacific Live Stock
Association at large salary, but it
is now stated that he has since de-
cided to return to the state office
His successor not having been chosen
he will return at once to his former
position under Secretary of State Sam
Nichols, who is also state insurance
commissioner.
Mr.. Schively's resignation, it is un-
derstood, was never actually placed
in the hands of Secretary Nichols, al
though Mr.. Schively wrote it before
leaving for Spokane. No appointment
to the vacancy having been made as
yet, and the resignation not having
been acted upon the formality of re-
appointment will not be necessary.

Manager leavit to Stay.

Harry L. Leavitt. the veteran theat-
rical manager, now business manager
of the New Orpheum, is out this morn
ing with an interview that for good
solid meat is able to sit up and speak
for itself.
Mr.. Leavitt is an acquisition which
any locality might gladly welcome and
it is pleasing news to hear that 1t is
his desire to locate in Walla Walla
indefinitely.
The salary list at the New Orphe-
UNI is no small item, especially when
the fact, that he pays his artists half
of their salary in the middle of eacn
week, so as to enable them to cir
culate some of it among our mer-
chants, is taken into consideration.
This spirit is highly commendable and
his enterprise should be heartily ap-
preclated in a substantial manner.
He claims, and justly so, that his
house is strictly a home institution,
and as such is entitled to encourage
ment from the home people.
It is well known fact thai through
out the east, as well in all the coast
cities, vaudeville houses are the pop
ular places of amusement, and society
always turns out en- masse to be
amused and entertained at the vaude-
Vile houses.

MATTHEW STURM DEAD.

Ranch This Morning,

German Pioneer Passes Away at His
Ranch This Morning.
Matthew Sturm, Walla Walla pio-
neer, died at his home four miles west
of the city at 6:1O o'clock this morn
ing.
Sturm had been in failing health for
the past four years. He mad an opera
ton at that time and never fully re-
covered from it's effects. For the past
two months he was confined to his
bed, growing weaker for the last few
days.
Sturm was born in Wurtemburg,
Germany, in 1874, coming to this
country in 1877, settling in Illinois.
He came to Walla Walla in 1879, set
Ting on farm four miles north of
the ciyt. About four years ago ne
moved to his present location.
Sturm was married eight years ago
to Mrs. John Diener of this county,
who died a little over a year ago.
Deceased leaves two brothers Chris
c. Sturm of this city and john Sturm
of Nebraska.
He was a member of Washington

WATCH THE COUNCIL.

At no time in the history Of the city
has there been more to attract the at
tention of the property owners ana
taxpayers to the actions OF the CITY
councilmen than at the present time.
Conditions are such that only by pay
ing attention to the council can the
citizens expect to have their interests
fully protected.
II is a strange result-but fact,
nevertheless-thati in many instances,
when a man is elected to membership
in a city council, or other legislative
body. he becomes, nine times out OF
ten. an enemy to those whose sur
frages placed him in office. He may
not be an open enemy, or capable OF
overstepping the bounds in public de-
fance, but he apparently nourlshes
| that queer, unaccountable spirit OF
antagonism, or bitterness, toward the
Individual and the collective citizen
ship.
Two causes may be assigned for
this unreasonable attitude on the
mart of a man who has been sufficient
| ly popular to be elected over his OPP
ponents. One is the development Of a
spirit of intolerance of public criti-
cism. either by the people, or their
mouthpieces, the newspapers. When
ever this intolerant condition is dis
played it is generally because the Of
fcial has done something which has
exposed him to deserved rebuke and
public comment. The consciousness
of having done wrong rankles and the
pricks Of criticism, fair or unfair, en-
gender an added bitterness.
The second cause lies in the mental
cailbre of the man. Some men are

decide they are the masters and are
impatient of any infringement upon
what they come to believe, in time, is
their divine prerogative-to,o or not to
conduct the affairs of the NUM-
cipality as they see fit.
Walla Walla is inflicted with both
species of oficialism. There is I'M
doubtedly a clique-a ring-in the
city council. 1t is aided and abetted
by men who know better, who have
superior business ability, but who, re-
senting even tentative interference by
the public, come to the point where
they are almost compelled to stand, or
fall, with those more INSCRIPTIONS
than themselves-those who are in Of
flee for the spoils.
1t is because of this critical condi-
tion-because of the grip which such
lamentable effects give to the graz

of the council at this time.
1t is the parting of the ways-the

oouncilmen, supported by the people
Or the supremacy for a year of those

ment more than essay.
Regarded as such, every honest cit
izen should become a self-appointed
inspector of the doings of the coun-
ell for the next few weeks.
