Tom Lawson in the estimation OF
readers of Everybodys Magazine is
a shattered idol In his effort to pro-
tect (?) the common people from the
insiditos encroachment that wealth
and combination might make upon
them, he did the very things his mas
tiers demand him to do and for which
he was we'll paid.
He has no more honesty that he
needs. His sole ambition and aim is
devoted to- acquiring the almighty
dollar, nothing more, nothing less.
His perfdy is much greater than that
of those whom he criticises. When
his life's work is done and his biog-
raphy written, if it is written at all.
without malice or thought of vindic-
tiveness it may be said of him, that
for exhalted perhdy and accomplished
mendacity against the poor Tow Law

that lucrative sheet, the Tribune,
makes incessant use of in lieu or ar
gument when dealing with one of its
ever-present hard cases, is always
tiresome but is sometimes amusing.
This latter occurs when, after long
and labored effort, it presents such
a transparent situation that the OBJ
verse is easily seen and exactly neut-
rallies the front showing. The or
gan of falling cause, for instance,
cannot refrain from discussing the
Sheets case, because, it is presumed
to do so would be such a departure
from well-settled practice as might
amount to disruption, and at least
once in so many days we have the
same old hotch-potch gone over in
extenso.
1t begins with the statement that
Mr.. Sheets is an honest official, that
he was not here at the time Parent
says he was, that not one thing has
been traced to him, and winds up with
the statement in effect that while
Parent is and has been a perjured
scoundrel, the chief has ever been
honest and is as honest now as ever,
etc. 1t is refreshing to be able to
endorse the last part of the state
mont n c irrefra o. a h1e
But the organ of hobo American
ism never permits itself to discuss
any phase of the situation that speaks
most loudly against the police chief
and points most unerringly to his
culpability one way or another. Sup
pose, to get rid of it for the present,
we admit that he was not here at the
time Parent said he was, and that
the latter made mistake as to the
date. The same thing has taken
place in nearly every celebrated case
known to civilization, the variance be-
ing sometimes inadvertent, some
times perjured, in this instance it
making no particular difference
which. Sheets wasn't here at the
time Parent said he met him here.
That is clinched. Now, then, was
Sheets here at the time the Nc
Winters were robbed? That is the
first important question. No denial
of that, and if the date were an in
dispensable factor of the compound
it could be fixed from that, instead
of the event being controlled by the
date, which would be childish pro-
position and unworthy even the Tri-
bune. The next question is, did he
hear of the robbery in time to see to
the capture of the robbers? No de-
NAL of that, either; so the next ques-
ton occurs by natural sequence
Did he do anything of the kind? II
not, why not? What is the duty of

Dear Sir:
Our people are becoming more alive to the
urgent necessity for opening the Lower Snake
and Upper Columbia Rivers.
Its practically matter Of life or death with
those settling lands adjacent to these streams. To
wait for the opening Of the Cello Canal would
be cruel when great relief could be obtained by
removing minor obstructiong
We feel certain if Congress would make con-
dihonal appropriation for plant to operate on
the Lower Snake and Upper Columbia. the Leg
islature Of Washington at least would also make
an appropriation. to be used by the War De-
partment in clearing these streams.
Frankly. we expect the Washington delega-
ton will use all honorable means to secure an
appropriation. The matter is earnestly advocated
here by all citizens. politicians and business men
alike; men here in the making Of new country
men who will influence the destinies Of this state
who believe that active. persistent and diplomatic
efforts Of the delegations from the Pacific North
west will secure satisfactory results.
