clans and political grafters Will gu
when afforded opportunity has ever
been given than through the evidence
dug up by Prosecutor Heney and his
able assistant, Detective Burns, IN
San Francisco, backed by CONCESSIONS
from those who participated in the OF
lenses. 1t is commentary or ltseii
on the stupidity of the American peo-
pie when it comes to the conduct OF
public office, which needs no ADDED
comment.
The spectacle of a ring of grafters
and boodlers, thieves and pluguSlieS
boldly holding up corporations, selling
public franchises, killing off public
enterprises at the bidding OF rivals
and loOting the public treasury Tor I'LL
mense sums, should arouse to extremes
the honest Indignation of citizens anu
taxpayers. To those of other cities not
vet tainted with the blight Oh the
grafter-Or where the thieves have not
vet been discovered-the lesson should
go. with warning to take steps to pro-
tect municipal honesty before it is too
late.
There is one remedy standing high
above all others for the smaller cities
and that is the recall system. Under
the recall plan a councilman who does
not obey the orders of his constituency,
or against whom is blown the breath
of suspicion, is compelled to resign
and stand for reelection if the voters
of his ward to a certain number, so
petition Los Angeles adopted the re-
call system and there it has proved
the most successful plan yet tried. Be-
fore it's installation that city was in
the hands of a gang of boodlers backed
with a rotten police department. A few
recalls of suspected cOuncilmen and
the scandals have f1OWn-hOnest meth
DDS prevail and wise administration of
city affairs results.
Walla Walla needs the recall system
for the future just as much as the
business man needs a cash register or
a cash check system. The merchant
may discharge a dishonest clerk be-
fore it is too late. The city should
have the same power over those men
elected as the peoples srvants.
Consider this matter carefully. LOOK
upon the San Francisco scandals as a
lesson and warning Then make up
your minds to work for the recall sys-
tenn and to demand support of it from
every candidate who offers himself Tor
Office at the next city election.

ADJUSTMENTS
PRIMROSE TOMORROW NIGHT.

The expression of "a notable event"
has become stereotyped phrase in
announcing theatrical attractions, but
the coming of George Primrose and
his all star minstrel company to the
Keylor Grand next Friday, will justi-
fly its use, as it is safe to say that this
attraction constitutes the most bril-
liant minstrel performance ever seen
in that or any other theater in the
world. The production is so much
larger and more gorgeous in it's details
that it dwarfs it's predecessors and
makes comparison impossible. 'The
opening part will be upon new and
novel plan, with company of so peo-
pie, consisting of comedians, dancers.
vocalists and musicians of recognized
ability. The second part will open
scenes from the sunny south, after
which there will be introduced some
clog dancing by a score of trained
dancers followed by joyful negro
one-act comedy wherein the entire
company will take part. During this
act there will be the genuine jUba
cane and Georgia quadrille dancing.

FIFTEEN ANIMALS CONDEMNED
 DURING MARCH.
City MILK Chemist Makes Tests Which Show Presence of Tuberculosis and They are Removed
 From Dairies.

Fifteen cows out of the total number examined by City Milk Chemist B. A. Taylor during March were found to be diseased with tuberculosis. The anil mals were condemned as unfit for dairy purposes and were removed from the dairies and isolated and slaughtered.
 These statistics are found in the March report of the chemist on the public dairies supplying milk to the city of Montgomery. The inspection of these daires, while it has been com paratively rigid in the past, has re- gently become more stringent, and the condemnation of cows Is result of the minute inspection. In all. 275 cows were tested with tuberculin. to ascer- tain their condition.
 The report gives list of the milks of the various dairies tested by the chem ist, together with the percentage of butter fat found in each milk and the sanitary conditions prevailing at the respective dairies.
 The chemists report, beginning with a statement of the milk tests. is as follows:
 Cedar Dairy (W. S Reese). butter fat. 4 per cent, sanitation, fair.
 Cherikee CD. Fleming). 3.S0 per cent. sanitation, good.
 Cleveland Avenue (E. J. Hughes), $50 per cent. sanitation good.

 NINETY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY.
 An event of great interest was the reception at which Mrs. c. w Christ entertained a. number of friends yes- terday afternoon at her home on Mc- Donough street in honor of her grand mother,' Mrs. L. S. Fountain, who on this occasion celebrated the ninety fourth anniversary of her birthday.
 The callers were received by Mrs. Christ, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Shackel- fod, Mrs. Fountains grand daughters. and Mrs. B. M. washburn, Mrs. w. w. Frame and Mrs. Edward Bartelette.
 The aged guest of honor was seated in a chair and about her was her old est friends among them Mrs. Tennant Iomax. Mrs. W. c. Ray and Mrs. Cam eron. In the dining room adjoining the parlor birthday table was pre- pared. The adorning was of roses, lilies, sweet peas and ferns. In the centre stood tall vase of Easter lilies. the base of which was surrounded by crimson roses.
 After the guests had all arrived the cutting of the birthday cake was the feature just as full of inyerest to the honored guest and her friends as it might have been to her ninety years ago. Mrs. Fountain cut the first slice and her oldest friends followed each looking eagerly for the dime which

Man Famous in History Of
 Strikes tn Montgomery Court.

As result of the street car riots of the last few days a number of con ductors and motormen appeared in the police court yesterday and their cases were continued Among those who ap- peared to answer a charge of assault was F. G. Curry.
 The name of Curry is known all over the country in connection with the teamster's strike at Chicago Although this man has been a central figure in strikes at Kansas City, St. Louis, De- troit and other of the larger cities, he came into most prominence at Chi cago, whom he broke the strike against the great wholesale houses of that city which was inaugurated by the team sters.
 The business men seemed to have lost their cause until this same Curry came to the front and In a few days accomplished such results that traf-

turn from its recipients. There is no way in which they can render service for what they receive. We have noth- ing for them to do--no labor for them to do. The farm would afford a place where the needy who come to us ana who are able to work could labor in the fresh air and sunshine in return for what they receive. There are many of the unfortunates I know who get help from us who would be more than willing to give their labor for what they receive. The farm could be titled by such labor It could be kept up byEsuch labor. This certainly has been the experience of Salvation Army farms in other parts of the country.
 Nor will that be the only great serv- ice that the farm will be able to rem der," continued the captain. Tt can serve as temporary place of recu- peration for poor women and children who become i'll in the city. To remove thesc unfortunates to the pure air of the country and the healthful surround ings of the farm is the very best serv- ice that can be rendered them. The farm would have a wagon that would go back and forth from the city. The unfortunates who were to be helped on the farm could be carried back and forth in' the wagon which would keep In constant touch with Salvation Army headquarters. The applicants who would ask for help would make their request at headquarters. and if they were strong enough to work they would be given a chance on the farm. and if they were ailing and unable to do any work they would be carried into the country where they might recover.
 We understand the great obstacles that confront us in the securing of land for the farm. Land is very high al hA atN, market value in many instances is from $75 to $100 an acre We cannot buy land at that price, Our resources are rarely more than enough to meet the demands on our charity. But we are hoping that some of the people of Montgomery who are blessed with the goods of the world will take an inter est in our undertaking. We are hop ing that if we cannot receive a dona tion of from twenty-five to fifty acres Tor the farm we will be given a chance by some charitable land owner to buy the land at reduced price. We are badly in need of such assistance. and we hope sincerely that 1t will be ex- tended to us."
 Few people in Montgomery have an adequate idea of the extent of the charity work of the Salvation Army. The report of Captain Odom for the last month contained some surprising figures as to the work. The report showed that with its limited facilities the Montgomery post had given lodg- ings to 150 people and that it had fur nished 150 meals to applicants. It gave away in that time garments and $15 in money. It furnished twenty-five baths and found situations for five per sons. It sent four stranded persons home, and conducted a night school with an attendance of fifty. In its re- ligious work. members of the Army visited and prayed with fifty families, conducted thirty-five meetings and had forty conversions.
