CHAPLAIN JOYCES PLEA.

Wana Walla has had many things
of recent happening to give the city
prominence outside of the state, and
particularly in the east. Most of the
stories which have attracted extra at
tention to the metropolis of southeast
ern Washington have appeared first
in The Statesman. Through this me-
dunn they have been scattered broad
cast and have created an interest in
the city as valuable as any other sort
of advertising.
But it remains for a priest-a chap
lain of a cavalry regiment to put
the finishing touches to Walla Walla's
reputation for doing and saying things
which all may see or hear 1t is to the
Rev. Father Joyce of the Fourteenth
cavalry at whom the next barrel Of
questions will be fired.
In his splendid, eloquent speech at
the banquet given by the Young Mems
Institute last night, Chaplain Joyce
primarily dealt with the evil tendency
to disregard the claims of the United
States flag and the uniform. But it
| is not his remarks as to the sacred
| most comment. 1t will be those words
| in which the clergyman boldly advo-
| Gates the return of the canteen to the
| garriSonS of the army. He says of
the soldier: You have taken from him
| the canteen. You would deny him the
privilege of places of public amuse-
ment and leave him with access only
to the house of mirth, or the licensed
! bar. Give back the old
canteen. And beyond the confines OF
the military post the regular will in
trude but seldom until the days the
| trumpet sounds"
| There has been. in the past, con-
siderable discussion and criticism OF
those officers who have stood for the
canteen. Coming as this does from
one who has made the lives of the
enlisted men his, who has had great
er opportunities than most men to view
the question from all sides, the words
of Chaplain Joyce husband do-carry
weight. 1t is a personal appeal from
a worker for mems good who knows
of whom he speaks

THE SCHOOL CITY"

Walla Walla pupils have spleno1o
example set them by the $500 boys
and girls in one of the New YORK city
public schools who have formed a
city government of their own WIFI
mayor, district attorney, three judges
and completely organized police ana
health departments.
Thus discipline in the school is main
tanned by the children themselves.
The principal under whose guidance
the government was formed says that
the system has already lessened tru-
ancy and elevated the moral tone OF
the entire body of pupils.
The children in the New York school
are mostly of foreign birth. The mayor
is a Russian boy who has been in this
country only three years. The dis
trict attorney is a 12-year old lad born
in Italy. One of the three judges is a
girl
Warrants are issued. arrests made
and trials conducted precisely as in
the city COURTS The commonest PEN
atty is detention after regular hours.
Truancy, crap playing and other forms
of gambling are dealt with severely.
This is getting at education at it's
very roots.
No other knowledge that can be
crammed into a child is so valuable
to him and to the community as is
the knowledge of the principles of
good citizenship and self-government.
Intimate knowledge of the real pur-
pose of government of it's processes
Of operation, and of the inestimable
advantages Of it's protection to all
well-meaning people breeds the highest
and sincerest respect for it,
The child cannot be taught too early
that his first and sacredest> duty is to
be a good citizen-a staunch pillar in
the temple that shelters mankind in
common interest, good order and broth
erhood.
Particularly important is it that chill
dren born abroad under oppressive con-
ditions should learn at the earliest
dawn Of their reasoning powers that
real freedom consists in rigid en-
forcement and strict observance of Just
laws
The school city idea is too good
to be long confined to one school or
one city.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO GIVE SUPPORT
TO STIR UP THE STATES
LEGISLATORS.

The Walla Walla Commercial club
will do all in it's power for the
passage of the open river bill and will
send a delegate to Olympia during the
coming session of the legislature to
assist the legislators in securing ap-
preparations for the work and the fur
therance of the progress of the work
along the lines outlined.
The club will select the proper per-
son for the work and President Kaser
will name a committee to raise funds
to defray the expenses of this repre-
sentative.
Dr.. N. G. Blalock, of the Open River
association, gave verbal report OF
the work which showed that rapid
progress is being made. He stated
that according to the reports of Prof.
Lyman, who is touring the state in
the interests of the work. practically
the entire eastern portion of the state
is working hard and the east
side representatives would work for
the measure.
The doctor stated that some doubt
had existed as to whether the repre-
sentatives from Spokane county would
support the measure, but he now had
assurances that they would give i;
their hearty support.

Temperature Last Year Went to
Extremes.
OBSERVER NEWMAN HAS ANNUAL REPORT

AND SHORTAGE OF SNOW.

Walla Walla had exactly 100 rainy
days last year according to the annual
report of Weather Observer Newman
for 1906 which has just been completed
The year was warmer and more
damp than normal, short on snow and
long on fog.
The normal temperature for the
past 20 years has been an average of
1913 degrees but the average tempe
nature for 1906 was $40 degrees.
The hottest day of the year was July
81 when the thermometer sweltered
in a 1OS degree temperature. The
other extreme was during the March
cold snap. On March 10 early in the
morning the temperature was only 10
degree higher than zero.
Jupiter Pluvius did 1913 inch bus.

rainfall for Walla Walla is only 17.75

Rights on the Road.

An English jurist recently laid down
the law of the road in an automobile
damage case which some reckless
drivers of motor cars in this country
would do we'll to keep in mind. Per
haps some judge will find authority In
our own statutes for similar rulings.
1t seems that an autoist had run
down and killed n cyclist while the lat
ter was crossing railway tracks and
looking and listening" for trains. A
jury awarded the cyclists widow ST.
500 in damages. Notwithstanding EVIL
dence introduced by the motorist that
he had tried to attract the cyclists at
tention by hooting and shouting. AD
appeal from the verdict in the trial
court was taken. and the claim Of con-
tributory negligence on the part Of the
cyclist was earnestly urged.
The court of appeal sustained the
verdict. and the lord chancellor ex-
planned the decision by saying that
failure to heed the motor horn does
not necessarily indicate negligence.
Said he:
When people are driving motor cars or
other vehicles on the public highway they
have the duty to remember that deaf
persons, blind persons and decrepit old
persons are tIst as much entitled to use
the public highway as they are. and If
anybody thinks proper so to drive that
there IL a chance Of serious consequences
from a mistake Of judgment or miscalcu-
lation and those consequences are not
averted he will have to pay for them In
damages.
Even the speed regulations would
not protect an autoist under this ruling,
for the autoist would be bound to
bear in mind that safe rate Of speed
under some circumstances would be
dangerous rate under others. In itself
the auto is not dangerous when re-
stricted to its legitimate uses. The
harm comes when reckless and ire
Sponsible drivers ignore the rights Of
the deaf. the infirm or otherwise help
less wayfarers.

Thoughts In striking contrast with

Ing Of United States Special Agent c.
M. Peppers recent report on trade
conditions and development in the land
Of the pharaohs. Taking his text from

British ruler. a conservative member OF
the cabinet appealed to the pa ,rio:s not
to side with the malconteEts in Egypt
al that country was ready to plunge
into a holy war and attempt to over
throw British domination. Mr. Pepper
sees the commercial side only. but his
picture of indus,~ Il, progress In "the

Is in sight The waters Of the Nile and
its tributaries are controlled by the state
which not only constructs the dams and
the irrigation works. but regulates the
use of the waters in the most minute
particulars. Many land and irrigation
projects have been entered upon by pri-
vate capital. and they are playing an i'm
portant part in the development Of the
country, but they are incidental and an
cillary to the government works. The
policy Of the state, as related to rail-
ways, irriga ton and other public works
is somewhat similar to that of the United
States with reference to river and harbor
improvements.
Land values have doubled within ten
years. owing to increased productivity,
due to irrigation and improved trans
portation. Extensive tracts which a
few years ago were valued at $25 to
SIS an acre are now. owing to irriga-
ton, worth $75 to $50 an acre. 1t Is
possible by irrigation to add 100000
OOO to the value Of the irrigable land Of
Egypt. Generally speaking. the coun-
try Is undergoing a remarkable process
Of development. and It will be years
before the end of the boom Is reached.
