charming delineation of the character
of the minister. one cannot help wish
ing that they were really men like the
Rev. John Morton in the world. He
holds ones sympathy from the start
and in the tremendous scene at the
close of the third act. everybody's ad-
miration unstintedly goes out to him
for he then and there is revealed as
a man who loves as all women wish to
be loved. and who, though a minister,
is willing. even eager, to fight for the
favor of his betrothed. There are but
few actors upon the American stage
who could so quietly, yet so forcibN
portray the conflict of different emo
tions that are surging through the
brain of the Rev. John Morton at this
critical moment of his life. Mr.. Clarke
naturally is the star, but every one OF
his supporting company is not far be-
hind him. At the Keylor Grand theater

THE RECALL SYSTEM.

Walla Walla people interested in the
recall system may find valuable data IN
the current isue of the Pacific Monthly
which contains an able description OF
the recall plan as adopted in Seattle
The story of the remarkable work done
by the citizens in putting through the
amendment to the city charter without
the aid of politicians and with practi-
cally no expense is one which every ad-
vocate of good government may reao
with profit
In the news columns is given the
substance of the amendment which
may be easily adapted to the needs OF
Walla Walla, or included in the new
charter if such is drawn soon. The
ease with which many defects in the
present administration of municipal af-
fairs may be remedied offers sufficient
inducement to all to support a move
ment for the new system.
Seattle took her recall from the Los
Angeles system but modified and
changed it to some extent in order to
conform to the demands of the state
laws. The marked improvement in the
administration of city affairs in Sc
attic has made the recall system the
most popular feature of the charter.
1t is there to stay and those concerned
join in the almost unanimous endorse
ment of the plan.
With the recall system in effect there
could be no manipulation Of franchises,
or letting of contracts through favorit-
ism. or influence, as each member Of
:he council would be held directly re-
sponsible and would be subject to dis
missal just the same as any other in
competent, or dishonest. emplOye.
The amendment to the Seattle city
charter is applicable in Walla Walla.
For the sake of cleaner and more
business like methods of administra-
ton every citizen and voter should
study the provisions and determine to
support the movement to adopt the re-
call system for Walla Walla.

FACULTY ESTABLISHES
GRADES FOR DEGREES

AT meeting yesterday afternoon the
faculty of Whitman college decided
that only grades made in Whitman
should count towards special mention
On the Commencement platform.
Any student who spends two years
at the missionary institution can re-
ceive special mention if his grades be
high enough but any subject in which
student fails temporarily only counts
for 20 per cent when made up.
The honOrs awarded are Cum laude"
which attaches to the degree and shows
that student has finished with praise.
To get it students grades for his
whole course at Whitman must aver
age s. per cent or better: magma cum
laude"; with great merit requires an
average of 80 per cent. while "Suma
cum laude" the highest of all demands
that the brilliant student receiving it
shall be within 5 per cent of perfect
for his whole college course.
An unusually large number of stu
dents will receive honorary degrees this
year.

VOTE FOR D. S. SENATOR
IN WISCONSIN APRIL 10

MADISON, Wis, March 26.-A gen.
eral agreement seems TO have been
reached among the various senatorial
candidates and their supporters to have
the election of the United States SEN
ator begin April 10. Isaac Stephenson
today said that was his understanding
and that the plan was agreeable to him
1t is expected that the senate judi
ciary committee will. before the Easter
recess. take action toward setting that
date. The Easter recess begins March
IS and lasts till April s. and it is pos
Sible that the caucus will be held some
time next week so as to settle the con-
test before the recess begins. as senti-
ment seems to be crystalizing on the
advisability of settling the suspense
soon.
Even the candidates are wearying OF
the fight and little attempt at prose-
lyting now is done. although all the
candidates are still on the ground and
receiving callers and giving out roseate
reports.
1t appears as if the plan to hold a
caucus of La Toilette men exclusively
has been abandoned for the time being,
and it is thought that many of the
members do not approve of a limited
caucus
The Hatten men seemed to be in
agreement that the caucus should be
called TO settle upon a plan of action.
Their confidence appears to be grow
ing.
