The article IN suggested by the ae-
tion OF Governor Cummins in stop
ping The Iowa legislature from going
to such lengths as the bills before
that body contemplated. The Argus
Leader says:
1t is reported from Iowa that Gov
ernor Cunmins who was renomi-
hated by the radical and extreme ele-
ment in that state is greatly alarmed
at the disposition in Iowa to lynch
the corporations and he has caused
1t to be known that a halt must be
called. The governor has announced
that he will veto some of the radical
anti-railroad bills if passed by the
legislature, and he urges the legisla-
ture to let up In its vindictive and
bitter fight against all corporations,
simply because they are corporations.
In one day, the state senate of Iowa
passed eight bills regulating corpo-
~rations, and the Des Moines Register
and Leader gleefully tells of the
great list of laws already passed
grilling and hampering the corpora
lions Governor Cummins is ambi-
hous politically, and he knows that
such a movement must be short
lived. He knows that right down in
his boots the average man intends
to be fair sven toward the soulless
corporation, and that very soon a
reaction is certain to set in against
the men who are using the anti-cor-
poration cry in order to build them
selves up politically.
The anti-corporation pendulum
has swung far. Throughout the
whole west, the legislatures this year
Ire in the control of men who make
q business of talking against the rail-
roads and passing laws to injure
their business. In the South Da-
kota legislature for instance, about
eighty antf-railroad bills were intro
duced, and a number of them be-
came laws. In Iowa and in Ne
braska it has been the same and the
solemn protest of Governor Cum
minis and his threat of use of the
veto power r significant.
President Roosevelt feels that the
a~nti-railroad agitation has been
Chairman Knapp of the
commerce commission
takes the same position. The rail-
road people r deeply alarmed, and
they hardly know which way to turn
for they have been lambasted and
1egislated against and drilled until
railroad stocks have gone down and
down. and conditions approaching
q panic have developed in the specu-
lative centers.
The American people can be de-
pended to do the right thing In the
end. In many portions of the coun-
try, and especially in the west, they
have been carried OF their feet tenn
porarily by a set of agitators who
used the anti-railroad sentiment to
give themselves q political boom;
but the long headed ones among
them have already taken alarm at
the Juror they themselves have
raised. and they are now just as
anxious to call a halt, as a few
months ago they were to start the
hostile legislation against the rail-
roads and other corporations.

AN UNSATISFACTORY REWARD
JOHN HAWKINS BEFRlENDS UN

John Hawkins formerly employed at

SATURDAY. night when he was return

a Freewater he found a woman lying
in the street senseless and apparently
drugged. He lifted her out of the gut

her on the parking at the side of the

the heavy hand of the law was I'M

Then he was brought before the Wo-

MUST TAKE MORE TIME
FOR SECOND MARRIAGE

you say you knew your first hus-
band off and on for five or six months.
I'll grant you a divorce but will stipu-
late in the decree that you must know
the man you wed next for two years
before the marriage ceremony"
This was the decision of Judge
George E. Morris in the superior court
in Seattle yesterday morning in dis
solving the union between Leone l..
Alger and Lewis II. Alger, contracted
last year at Ellensburg.
The girl said she had known Alger
a short time as a drummer for a
hardware house. After the marriage
in Ellensburg she said he took her to
the Pacific Hotel in North Yakima.
where they stayed two months. She,
said the bill for the hotel expenses,
500, had been sent to her by a coffee
ton agency. Her mother has been
supporting her since in this city.
Mrs Alger complained that her hus-
band would not work and was intoxi-
Gated most of the time.

MONEY MARKET
NOT T|GHTENED
WALLA WALLA WILL EXPERIENCE
NO DIFFICULTY AS RESULT
OF PORTLAND FAILURE.

In spite of the fact that there is a
great deal of talk of panics and tight
ening of money over the country, the
local money market mas not been in
the least affected. Money is as easily
obtainable as ever and no uneasiness
of any kind is noticeable in banking
circles in the city.
Walla Walla bankers are not loan
ing money on everything in sight, they
never do. But any proposition with a
fair show of stability can get all the
funds it needs at rates less than those
of eastern markets. -
Grain men are experiencing no diff
/, Guilty in getting mor.ey to handle the
crops and wheat and other grain is
moving as fast this year as in any
previous year, where the farmers are
willing to SELL.
"The day dream panic of Secretary
Shaw has not struck Walla Walla, nor
is it likely to-" said a well known
banker this morning. Money is not at
all tight, loans are being made on All :
solutely the same pasis they always
have been and | see no reason Tor a
change.
NO. do not think the Portland bank
failure is the forerunner of any finan-
cial panic in the northwest. 1t is an
isolated case and has been explained
by their heavy investments that are
not vet matured. The bank may come
out all right yet. Anyway, there is no
reason for fear in Walla Walla. Any
good security is worth it's money here
and / think am safe in predicting that
all talk of panic and hard times Is
made for a purpose.

BEES LIKE SMOKE.
Sting Honey Gatherer Into Uncon-
seriousness

SEATTLE, Aug. 23.-As a result OF
an attempt to rob bee hiye, which the
occupants resisted, j. C. Harlan, OF
Rainier Beach, is in precarious con-
dition. Believing himself immune from
the sting of the bee and not sufficient
ly familiar with modern methods of
reducing the little workers to subjec-
ton, Harlan went after them rough
shod. He did not wear gloves or put
any cover over his face and head, but
armed himself with a pipe filled with
exceedingly strong tobacco, which he
believed would keep them away.
Harlan lifted the cover off the hive
and the ARM of busy little workers
charged on him. He at once became
as busy as a one-eyed maif at a three
ringed circus trying to Dea hem off.
He puffed on his pfp~ uEtil he made,
as much smoke as a steam engine, but
as the sequel shows they dia norscare
a straw for the tobacco. The bees at
tackled John at every exposed point
and pursued their campaign until he
was reduced to unconsciousness
Harlan did not get pound of honey.

HUGH BARNETT
THRESHES CATS
FINDS REMAINS OF FAMILY OF

Such is the revised version of the
familiar old Mother Goose rhyme OF
which Hugh Barnett is author. That
is, he is author of the revision but 1t

lad of an actual occurrence.
The other morning Mr.. Barnett
started his threshing machine on his
farm across the Snake river. He had
no warming that he was about to use

made aware of the fact Immediately
for from out of the machine came a

will ring in his ears forever. Also
belts which had been carefully ad

discord throughout the entire mech
anism of the thresher.

fear and the whole crew were for the
moment paralyZed at the strange
noises proceeding from the machine
and the wild behavior of the erst-
while we'll conducted thresher.
Then some one turne doff the power
and an investigation disclosed the
cause of the unseemly occurrence
From out of the separator We're ten

The death of Miss Alice Martin. OF
Seattle, as announced in The States
man yesterday, has not been positively

from Seattle over the wire but as yet

the men are going back singly and
unostentatiously. they don't want 1t
known but they are going back.
Some operators have already sibgned
the ironclad contract of the Pos'
company. Asked what he thought
about the new contract, Manager
Sarff said:
1t Is simply an agreement Tor the
operators to mind their own business
as long as they are in the employ Of
the company. They may quit at any
time they please but as long as they
stay in the employ of the company they
must mind the company's business and
work for the company. OF course the
clause requiring the men to work with
non union men I can only say it is in
line with the rest of the contract, as
long as they work for the company
they must work for the company and
not for the union
The officials of the Associated Press
are determined not to yield a point to
their operators. They will not recog-
nize the union and will talk to the men
only as individuals.
Western Union Conditions are bet
tering themselves all the time, say
the officials. They are handling the
bulk of the business and are getting
in better condition every day.
