THE SAME, ONLY DIFFERENT.

Running newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different. When
a man goes into a hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not
suit him, he does not raise hades
with the landlord and tell him to
stop his old hotel. Well hardly.
He sets that dish to one side and wades
into the many dishes that suit him.
1t is different with some newspaper
readers. They find an article occasion
ally that does not suit them exactly
and without stopping to think it may
please hundreds of other readers, make
grand stand play and tell the editor
how paper should be run and what
should be put into it. But such people
are becoming fewer every year. -
Exchange.

Senator Tillman has come and gone,
and while his utterances last night
were not so vitriolic as the public had
been led to expect, throuhout his
speech it was made evident to all that
the distinguished Senator from South
Carolina is as unreconstructed as the
day General Lee surrendered at APP
pomatox and the army Of the South
laid down their arms. Senator Till
man, in extenuating secession, justi-
fed the act by the constitution and
imidiately afterward boosted that he
had been one 70 override it's provisions.
There is no use denying that Senator
Tillman is great character in his
way and many Northern people agree
with him that when the right of fran
chise was conferred upon the negro
he was lily prepared for it, but the
conditions and the times made it nee
cessary. Senator Tillman goes about
the country spreading race hatred and
preaching rebellion and secession, pre-
dieting disasters yet to come, which
his own acts will ',precipitate if they
ever come. While as an amusement
feature he is a great drawing card,
the question which arose as to the
propriety of bringing him here under
the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
can not be denied. The quasi endorse
ment given Tillman by the introduction
of Senator Ankeny and his presence on
the platform, it would seem, is a
new phase of the Senatorial courtesy
that is yet, if. at all, to come into
general practice. Tillman himself
recognizes the fact that on this occas-
ion he is merely a platform lecturer
and the same degree of recognition is
expected as though he were travel
ing over the country as United States
Senator, Democratic speaker or other
public parsonage. The thought no
doubt came to many who heard him
last night that if it ever comes to a
question of negro supremacy or domin-
alton by Tillmanism there is a doubt
if they would not prefer the former,
but the soberminded feel that there is
enough good sence in the land to avert
either calamity.-Walla Walla Bull

ALL OF ONE NATION.

Referring in his speach at CATO, III.
to the governments program of send
ing the Atlantic fleet around to the
Pacific coast President Roosevelt said /:
"Incidently l think the voyage will
have one good effect, for, to judge by
their comments on the movement some
excellent people in my own section of
the country need to be reminded that
the Pacific coast is exactly as much
a part of this nation as the Atlantic
coast
In these few words the president has
said just the right thing in response to
the critics of the proposed voyage.
Uncle Sans war vessels belong to
the whole nation, not to any oSe part
of it. The east has no greater claim
on it than the west, nor the west any
greater claim than the east.
If this country were at war with a
European power, or with one that had
or might send strong feet into At
lantic waters, it would be good policy
to concentrate our navy on the Allan
tic coast. In the absence of any such
danger the feet may advisdly be dis
posed of in a way that will impress
upon all people its national sig
nificance.
Presi dent Roosevelt's words there
is mild rebuke to the sectionalism
that, perhaps unconsciously, prevails
in some localities He spoke less
emphatically than others might have
done on the same subject, but his
words were truly expressive of con.
ditions that are now to exist in parts
of the east where the vision is limited
by prejudice or ignorance. Fortunate.
ly the ignorance is gradually disap.
pearing, but the idea that the west is
much part of the nation as the east
seems slow in implanting itself ir
some minds. Spokesman Review.

''He never lost that simple and
thoughtful kindness toward every hu=
man being, great or small, lofty or
humble, with whom he was brough in
contact which so endeared him to our
people,"
These words of President Roosevelt
describe accurately the finest quality
of his predecessor in Office. Other men
have served their country we'll in war
and in peace. Other men have like
him risen in public life to high Office.
Few indeed are those of whom it can
be said that they were eminently lov=
able as we'll as capable.
1t was by virtue of his universal
kindness that Mr.. Mckinley was so
well qualified in the words of the in
sciption upon his mausoleum "to unite
the discordant forces of the government
and mold the diverse purposes of men
toward progressive and salutary act
ion." No one could come in contract
with him without becoming conscious
at once of his gentle and affectionate
disposition and surrendering to its
charm.
He died six years ago. The noble
memorial which was dedicated vester-
day would not have been completed in
so brief at time if it had not been for
the popular love of him. Monuments
to commemorate other great men have
been talked of in the first moments
of popular sorrow and then given up.
The love of the people for William
Mckinley was too deep and too general
TO make that possible in his case.

FINDS WHEAT
IS IMPROVING.
Professor Thatcher makes study Of
Inland Empire Grain.

Professor R. w. Thatcher, director
of the STAGE experiment station at
Pullman, was a Sokane visitor yester-
day. Prof. Thatcher is still greatly
interested in the question of the i'm
provement of the wheat raised in the
Inland Empire, both as to the quantity
and as to milling value. He remarked
that it is wonderful to note the i'm
provement that can be made in a year
or two.
For example, he finds an astonishing
difference in the yilds of wheat when
the full, plump kernels of the upper
part of the head are alone planted.
The professor says that many interest
ing and valuable facts connected with
this subject of wheat growing soon
will be published in bulletin. Not
only this, but there are to be busy
times in all the departments of the
station in issuing bulletins regarding
every phase of agricultural work and
there will be still further Chords to
make these bulletins of direct value
to the farmer of the state.
He says there is every indication
that the attendace at the state college
will be larger than ever the coming
year. Spokesman Review.

WASHA JONES MEETING AFTERAlL?

The Union this morning says it was
in very bad tast for the Kennewick
people to convert the banque. in honor
of the completion of their new hotel
into a senatorial boost for Wesley L..
Jones. Yesterday morning we got the
idea from reading news account of
the banquet in the Union that it was a
boom for. Senator Ankeny and that
Jones would get very few votes in
the Kennewick neighborhood The
Union should get its news repor4 ers
and editorial writers together and
frame up a few signs that will prevent
such an unseemly spectacle Of saying
something in one issue and contradict
ing it in the next, or one thing in its
news columns and another thing ed
itorially 1t was pretty fine de-
monstration for Jones no doubt. So
was the Taft meeting in Seattle, SO
also is the result almost everywhere
that two or more citizens of the state
are gathered together and the senatorial
question comes up. But why should
Mr.. Jones be .critiziced flor what the
people do? Jones never hired man
to go out in the audience and applaud
for him anywhere. And if the sena-
torship has to wait for him until he
can buy it, it will be on the market for
an interminable length of time. But
is there anything wrong about the
people giving expression to their feel
ings regarding the senatorship? Surely
this is a free country and the people
in this state have gone back to the
original method our forefathers had
in mind when they founded the govern
ment of allowing the people to run it,
and the politicians who have been
usurping that privilege are naturally
very much perturbed at any demon.
stration on the part Of the people ex'
pressive of their views. They assert
that it is in very bad teaste. The
only demonstration they do not regard
as being in bad taste is when they car
hire bunch of thugs to 60 to the
polling places and intimidate the voters
into allowing them to send delegat'
ion to pack the convention. 1t will
take more money this time to carry
out the old methods and it is great
