1t is said that the reason Speaker
Cannon again refused to appoint Mr..
Webb to the vacancy on the Judiciary
committee after Mr.. Shirley had declin
ed and gave it to a member from Ark
ansas was that he was afraid he could
not control the Tar Heels action on
that committee. 1t was also said that
Mr.. Cannon wanted to put a mau on
the committee who would oppose fay
orable reports or the two bills now be-
fore it which prohibit the shipment
of liquors into prohibition states from
other states. The liquor men, though.
say they have no objection to the
passage OF either bill, because their
counsel is convinced that the federal
supreme court would declare the law
unconstitutional. This statement is
quoted to show that the speaker could
not have had any such motive in refus-
ing to appoint Mr.. Webb; but one can
hardly believe that the liquor men are
Indifferent in the matter of the passage
of these bills. 1t is common sense that
those interested in their defeat would
prefer to have them fail to pass con
gress rather than, after enactment TO
upon even the certainty of their
that the supreme court vii. de
clare them void.

RIGHTS OF THE PRESS

The W bills now pending in The

ate by Mr.. Graham and one in the

railway passes, prohibit newspapers
making contracts with railroads wne.e-
by for so much advertising space In the
one SO much mileage for passenger
transportation shall be given BIZ the
other The aw as it now stands per
mits this. The newspaper men of Tie.
state ask that the present law az TO
this be allowed TO stand. Their IS.
doubt, however, whether it viii. be
done. There seems TO be a determira-
ton on the part of some members of
the legislature to put a stop to these
contracts. We do not know whether
tnay are aCtuated Jv hostility
to the press Of the state or
think they can in this way strike IN
other blow at the railroads. The news
papers in making this request OF rn
legislature are not asking a favor If it.
but they are demanding it as a ricnr
the right which the men of evaryI
other business class of the state na,cI
to contract for the sale of what they
have to dispose of to the would-be rur
chasers for articles of value the other
have for sale.
1t is o a question of free Transport!
tation. A column Of advertising space
in a paper is worth SO much. That
mount will purchase so many miles
of transportation. When a contract IS
made what difference does it make tC
the public whether each side hands
the same amount of O to the
other Or whether the railroad takes
the space and delivers the REQUESTED
mileage in payment therefor? A Mel
chant buys advertising space. The
newspaper man takes goods from his
sure. mo cash passes, yet eacn gets
full value for what he disposes Of.
No row is made about this. If the other
is not a legitimate bargain neither is
his. 1t is absurd to say either is not.
The present plan is more convenient to
he editor and hurts no one, but because
It is a railroad there is a tremenGous
howl about a "nigger in the woodpile."

"1he Comedy of Errors"

In the Comedy of Errors" that
myriad minded man, Shakespeare has
presented a legitimate farce. in exact
consonance with all the philosophical
principle and character of farce, a dis
tinction that differs materially from
almost every other humorous play he
has constructed. In all of Shakes
peare's other comic illusions, the line
of demarcation has been so finely
drawn that the principle of construc-
ment. In farce the telling of a fable
is mainly distinguished from comedy
by the fact that a license is allowed in
farcical writing which permits the au-
manner SO long as he is able to obtain
the constituent mission of his purpose
that of creating laughter And there
can be no question but that Shake
speare succeeded in this mission when
he created the COMEDY of Errors" for
of all of his many comic con .ributior.s
to stage literature. this farce is ac-
knowledged to be his most amusing.
Mr.. James is said to have entered
into the spirit of the theme with an
abandon that is most refreshing ard
infuses into the character of each of
the Two Dromois" a DISTINGUISHING
individuality that has surprised his
most ardent admirers, for it appears

THE COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS.
(F'rom the Waitsburg Times.)

The county fair is now passed and
gone-a matter of history. Everybody
is satisfied with the showing made by
the Walla Walla Fair association this
year, so far as we have been able to
ascertain. The racing was good and
the exhibit was exceptionally fine. 1t
was, by far, the most representative
fair this county has had in years and
the management and especially Sec
rotary A. c. VandeWater, is to be con-
graduated on the great success of
this fifth annual event. The weather
was ideal for a fair and consequently
the attendance exceeded the most SAN
guine expectations of even the man
agement.
The only kick we have coming is the
fact that Waitsburg had no space
among the exhibits, but that was our
own fault We hope this will not be
permitted to occur agar. for this being
the garden spot of the entire county
there is no reason why this Touchet
valley cannot secure a large share of
the first premiums on fruits and
grains. We simply lack the proper
amount Of enthusiasm and enterprise.

1.-THE Sunny Side of Broadway"

1t will be pleasant news to local
theater goers of this city to read the
announcement that the famous original
comedians, Murray and Mack in their
latest musical sensation, THE Sunny
Side of Broadway" will be the attrac-
ton at the Keylor Grand theater for
two nights, November Sth and 9th.
The music is full of fun and melody
from the opening chorus to finale, is
meloiiOus, and several of the numbers
are catchy and whistleable; the seem
cry and costumes are gorgeous; the
chorus is pretty, and this same chorus
sings WELL dances well and is often
and agreeabIy on the stage.
The book is by Walter and Murray,
and the music by the master musician
Mr.. Boyle Voolfolk
The ploto Well, what's the use of
talking of that? To be sure there is
little of that necessary commodity, but
l. won't be too great strain upon a
weary body seeking amusement to
follow it. The piece is in two acts, the
first showing the Battery and East
river with the boats moving to and fro
AMI the second shows the Circle at
Fifty-ninth street with Central Park in
the background. The scenic equipment
of The Sunny Side of Broadway" is
most elaborate and the scenes shown
are now presentedsfor the first time
In their current Offering Murray ard
Mack have the greatest: starring We
hicle in their career which is certainly
a wide assertion. They are surrounded
by a large cast of principals and a
chorus of 80 pretty maidens. the COM
pany number in all, 40 people.

nor altogether through its rich har-
vest of shekels that the Garden City
reaped its greatest profit from the re-
cent county fair Worth far more
were the go.1eh opinions of its thou
sands of visitors. who were delighted
with the fair and pleased with the
town. its beautiful homes, broad
streets, its lawns and flowers, and the
evidences of wealth and refinement

Not a man or woman from this To-
cality who saw the Walla Walia fair
but offers a generous need of praise
for the fine exhibits, the interesting
speed programs, the splendid musical
concerts the thrilling balloon ascen-
sjons, the ludicrous acrObatic Reubs on
their load of hay, the Elks parade, and
other features of the great event just
passed into history. Since amusement
is as necessary as his bread and but
ter to the average American, he never
regrets the dollars that he profitably
spends to secure it. And at Walla
Walla. an American public received far
more thar. it's moneys worth
OF course. there was a fly in the
ointment from one standpoint at least.
Not a few people think the Walla Wal
la fair would be better and just as
successful without its bookmakers and
without its bar These things afford
agreeable diversion for hundreds of
fair goers, but their mission is 70 en-
courage an unhappy passion in the hu-
man breast for gambling and drink.
Many a man who bets on horse race
or takes his drink at the bar would feel
better pleased were the opportunity
denied him. And before long it will be
denied him. The trend of the times is
toward stronger morality at public
gatherings.
Another fly, too-the confetti. why
this beastIy nuisance is still permitted
at a fair surpasses human ken. 1t has
long ceased to be a novelty and has
almost become a menace, threatening

fetti is permitted at a fair, there Will
be fools to throw it, but we are pleased
to observe that it is only the younger

indulge this nonsense. 1t is not anus
ing, it is not edifying, it is scarcely
decent. Confetti should be abolished.

TiIIy Is Cominu,

If out of town reports are to be
credited, the success of the Anglo
Scandinavian comedy "Tilly Olson is
the greatest yet achieved by any
Swedish dialect play ever written. The
scenes of the drama are laid in the
northwest and the action is brisk and
spirited. The principal role is that of
a young Swedish girl possessed of all
the characteristics for which her race
is famous. She is keen of wit, given
to droll mannerisms and odd express
sions, but carrying beneath a some
what stolid and imperturable exterior,
peculiar to the Scandinavian nature,
