AMERICAN PATRIOTISM FERvENT.
BY Gov. Hughes.

The same patriotic ardor fills the
breast Of American youth as when
they rushed from field and factory
and college in obedience to their coun-
trys summons. The wives and moth
ers Of America are as loving, as de-
voted, as ready to sacrifice and suf-
fer, as were those of forty-odd years
ago.
The men of the United States are
as. quick to respond to the call of
duty, as keen, as resourceful, as val
liant, as those of our heroic past. They
are blessed with the memory of their
fathers labors; they are enriched
with lessons Of their zeal; they are
inSDired by the eXamDle of their ma

HIGHWAYS TO GREATER PROS
PERITY.

Good roads convention for the state
ly were held in Bellingham and Port
land this week which We're attended by
prominent men from every section of
the country in an endeavor to promote
better highways for the states, coun-
ties and cities. Legislation along these
lines has been proposed and will be
urged with such force there is no rea-
sor to doubt that results will be ac-
complshed. The movement has be-
come national, and concerted action is
being brought for this most laudable
enterprise.
In the Washington association Wal
la Walla men have been elected to
office and something will be expected
of them in the way of arousing latent
interest and accomplishing things in
this county, They are men of ability
who understand conditions In this and
other sections of the state and every
encouragement should be given by the
citizens of the community in their en-
deavor to improve conditions or the
public highways.
At the present time it is doubtful if
there is any enterprise that would do
more for the business interests of the
city of Walla Walla than excellent
roads throughout the county, connect
ing the different cities. ana making it
possible for the farmers to tranSact
business and do their hauling at all
times of the year. Not only would it
stimulate business in the city but it
would enhance the value of the farms
far beyond the necessary cost of put
ting the roads in excellent condition
This movement for good roads is
one in which every ole is interested
the merchant, professional man and
the farmer. AS is known from one end
of the country to the other, Walla
Walla county has the wealth and is
able to web this section with the best
of highways, if every interested in
dividual ana concern il: the communi-
ty would lend all possible aid and in
fluence, financially as otherwise. A
campaign for good roads should be 6
popular undertaking. However, some
thing more than campaign is neces-
sary. The proper action should be
brought about. With the commercial
interests. the Commercial club ana the
farmers working together with the of
ficers of the Good Roads association
in a determined effort to better condi-
tions, there should soon be no more o.

season of impossible roads in the vi.

ment of the evening. Whether there
was dancing or not on that occasion
the sacred record does not state; out
to the average man it is evident the
spirit of the dance was not lacking.
Every man must, in fairness con-
cede that it is every other mans pre-
rogative to indulge in or to escheW
those moderate pleasures in life when
do not transgress good morals; OF
which. in fact or tendency, no ordl-
narily upright person need be ashamed.
But if a man at this day must be Pu-
ritan of the DR.. Edwards stripe, If ne
must hold to the solemn and straight
laced conduct of a Cotton Mather, he
arouses no sentiment by advertising
the fact, except that of pity. Rightly
or wrongly, it is the public judgment
that such a man is dwarfed; that out
of his life he has kept much of the
sunlight of human joy that, as he
moves about among his fellows, there
must be the constant suggestion OF the
lines in the old hymn book:
This worlds a wilderness of woe.
This world is not my home"

THE MAN WHO NEVER DID"

Des Moines, Iowa. can boast of
reverend gentleman who is the very
personitication of negative small vir-
tue. This man. a minister of the goS-
pei. as one may judge from the fore
text. deserves the sobriquet of the
man who never did" Upon his own
observation, as the matter is reported,
this man never swore, never smoked
never attended or saw a dance of ally
character, never was at a theatrical
performance, never went to a horse
race or baseball game, never
whistled on Sunday. AMI on that day
never sahg any songs except gospel
hymns and America
Whatever other never dds" are in
cluded in the moral category of this
But these are sufficient to indicate the
height, and depth, and breadth of his
esthetic joy. Whatever the power of
such a man may be in his own church
and in the community in which he
lives is matter of conjecture except
among his intimate associates 1t may
be much, il may be little. But the joy
of the common man which that rev.
erend gentleman has managed to side
step is admittedly an agency for good,
which he might have added to his
ministerial potency, says the Tele-
gram.
Not even the Master when he was on
earth could lay claim TO such avoid
ance OF innocent pleasure as is al
legged to be the summary of virtue in
this Des Moines dominic. For be il
remembered there was a wedding once
