PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

So far as the nomination of can
didates for city Offices is concerned,
the Walla Walla Union, as the result
of recent contest in that city, has
concluded. that "the extra expense
for holding direct primaries is a use
less waste of the public funds" and
urges that cit serves no good purpose,
but merely stirs up party strife. !"
So far as county and state offices are
concerned the Union says "the new
primary law will probably be an
improvement over the old plan of
making nominations.
Public fund.- used to prevent political
debauchery through the use of private
funds are not wasedt. Nor is it
a waste of public funds to use them in
efforts to improve the character and
efficiency of men in the public service,
nor can it be fairly urged that public
funds are wasted when used to give
the people chance to rescue their
own affairs from the greed and grasp
of unclean place hunters.
Political charlatanism is more expen-
sive, and imposes a much heavier and

THE ORCHARD MOTIVE.

1t is the theory of the defense in
the Haywood trial that Orchards
motive for numbering ex-Goevrnor
Steunenebrg was the loss he suffered
in the Hercules mine when he was
driven out of the country in 1899.
Several witnesses were produced by
the defense who swore that Orchard
threatened to kill Steunenberg. The
state, however, maintains thatOrchard
did not own any interest in the Her.
cules in 1899. In support of it's
position, the state introduced on re-
buttal Saturday a deed by which Or
chard transferred to Dan Gardener
his interest in the Hercules mine in
March, 1898. The defense objected to
the admission of the deed in evidence,
but the objection was overruled. If
this deed is genuine, it is hard blow
to one of the main theories of the
defense. OF course, it does not prove
that Haywood was guilty of conspiracy
to murder Steunenberg, but it greatly
strengthens the case of the state. The
deed was corroborated by the testimony
of August Paulsen, one of the owners
of the Hercules, who swore that early
in the spring of 1s98Orchard' interest
ceased and Dan Gardener succeeded
to it.
The noted trial is fast drawing to 6
close. The defense rested Saturday
and the state at once began with
rebuttal evidence. The defense prob
ably strengthened its case by putting
Meyer and Haywood on the stand
Both are described in the dispatches a!
standing the fire of cross-examinatiof
we'll. Apparently the wole history Of
the alleged conspiracy has beer
brought out in the trial of Haywood
so that conviction ,,or acquittal in hi
case is likely to mean the same out
come for Meyer and Pettbone.

There may be no cause to apprehend

There may be no cause to apprehend
war with the Japanese nation, but
Uncle Sam is certainly wise not to
allow the wiley little scrapers the
opportunity Of stealing march on
him as they did the numbering, big
Russian bear. There is probably some
cause for all the talk of the Japanese
coveting the Philippines, or even the
Hawaii island and those we'll trained
and seasoned veterans are just the
people to feel the conceit that they
can capture them and put the United
States at such disadvantage that
this government would accept peace
at the cost of giving up a part, at
least, of our acquisitions. When it
comes to gratitude for Friendship shown
in the past, not many nations are
burdened with that trait, and it is safe
to guess that gratitude will not deter
the japanese from seeking anything
they may coyet. The government is
acting sely il guarding against
surprise. Wilbur Register.

more useless burden upon taxpayers
than the primary election law.

more useless burden upon taxpayers
than the primary election law.
If the primary law is good for the
county and good for the state. it is
also good for the city. On proof
positive, it is good for Spokane, and
there are reasons for believing it ism t
bad thing for Walla Walla despite
the Unions wall.
But wall or no wall, the primary
law is here. 1t has given the people
of the state a taste of political liberty.
1t will make politics cleaner
game. 1t will improve the character
and efficiency of men the public
service. 1t will break the hold of
grafters on the public teat. 1t will
restore to the people control of their
own affairs. 1t will minimize political
scalawagism by making conspiracies
and cabals, and the corruption OF
delegates in conventions, impossible
hereafter. Besides, it will make thu
decent and unpurchasable newspaper
more of factor in the affairs of the
state, and of the particular communit,
in which it may be published.
Surely, these will not prove unwel
come blessings. Of course, there will
be dissenters. They were thick, lout
and lusty at Olympia, and their voice
must still be raised against this wis
and efficient piece of Legislation, TO
it is as true now as it was in the tim
of the prophet, that "the OK knowetl
his owner, and the ass his master
crib" But despite the harpies, tn
law will stick. Post Intelligence.

SPARKS FROM

my friend, help the editor in his
wild eyed search for news. When
your friends come to call if you are
not ashamed of it, tell him; when
your wife gives a tea party, if you
have recovered from the effects of
good things to eat drop in with the
news; when baby arrives fill your
pockets with cigars and call; if you
go to a party steal some of the good
things and leave 'em with the item
in our sanctum, if your wife ticks you
come in and let US your scars and
tender sympathy through it, give in
all the commonplace news. In short
whatever makes you feel proud, sad,
lonesome or glad, submit to our "a
karat wisdom and see our matted locks
part and stand on end with gratitude,
which will pour from every pore like
moisture from the dew besprinkled
earth. "-Ex.

The Ritzville FIGURING Mill is COM

The Ritzville FIGURING Mill is COM
pleted so far as the outside work is
concerned and mill-rights have been at
work for sometime putting up the
machinery. 1t is claimed that the
mill will be finished by the middle of
August. lit will have a capacity of
500 barrels of flour per day or, in
other words. it will require 2250 bu-
shells of wheat to keep the mill run
ming for "a hours.
Chas. Schelly, who returned from
one of his ranches near Cornell last
Saturday, informs us that quite little
of the wheat had been cut. and on some
sections he never saw better grain.
Some of it was not as good as itmight
have been, but this was due to the
fact that the soil had not been care
fully prepared. He added that all
the land that had been summer-fallow-
ed and narrowed before it was seeded
would yield about 20 per cent more
than soil that had not been looked after
carefully. This will again demon
strate the fact that farming is carried
on in too large a scale. Smaller
farms and the soil better titled will
yield better returns per acre than
large farms which can not be proper
ly attended to.
A we'll attended meeting of the
official board of the Methodist, church
was held last Wednesday evening.
The conference year will close in a

one and harmony prevails between the
parishioneers and the pastor. To
show their appreciation of the faithful!
services rendered it was unanimously
decided to invite the pastor and his
good family to remain another year al
an advanced salary. A committee on
resolutions was appointed, consisting
of O. R. Haight, C. w. Hammond
and D. j. Behringer and the follow
ing were adopted:
WHEREAS, the First Methodist
Episcopal church of Ritzville, Wash
ington has enjoyed very pleasant and
profitable year in the upbuilding Of
morals and the advancement of the
christian religion and greatly appreci-
ate the efforts of Rev. and Mrs.
Koontz, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that vote of thanks
be rendered them apd that we invite
them to return to this charge another
year and that we further evidence our
appreciation, in more substantial
manner by increasing the salary from
$1,000 to $1,000 per annum and that we
grant him two weeks vacation. Be
it further
RESOLVED, that we tender our
thanks to the press for gratuitous
notices given during the year and for
reports of the various meetings to the
non-members for their presence at the
meetings and for their moral and
financial support accorded US during
