OBJECT LESSON FROM
WALLA WALLA.

A dispatch from Walla Walla
tells of a $500, 900 hotel soon to be
erected in that enterprising city.
And therein lies q moral that
should be studied with profit by
other western cities.
Up to four year ago Walla Walla
was an old, pleasant, sleepy town,
with a good college for its princi-
pal attraction. Today it is . city
of more than 10000 population,
alive and hustling, it's streets paved
and liued with splendid business
structures; with electric car lines
and all other conveniences and
improvements Of the modern mu-
nicipality. Enterprise, push and
an abiding faith in the future has
worked this wonderful transforms.
ton, just Is it did in Boise, just %
it has on . larger scale in Spokane,
Seattle, Los Angeles and other
wonder cities of the Pacific slope.
1t is q noteworthy fact that cities
are built up where natural advan-
tages seem limited while many I'd.
vantageously situated towns slum-
Der and almost die. The only con-
clusion that can be drawn is that
cities are made by the people who
inhabit them, who are willing to
stake their fortunes on the success
or failure OF their efforts.
What other towns hsve done
Grangeville may do by united Of.
fort directed along proper lines Of
enterprise; BY brushing aside petty
personal strife and centering every
thing upon the advancement Of the
city. Tho time IL ripe for such
action-the West is growing In
population ~ never before, and
those communities will profit most
shat deserve most.

MEN, NOT PARTY.

A careful canvass Of the election
returns Of the various municipali-
ties shows In most instances that
party and politics have been cast
aside and men and deeds consid-
cred. This independence Of the
voter, which 10 growing stronger
with every election, 10 greatly
scorned BY party leaders but should
b encouraged by oil good citizens.
The time is fast passing when q
"yellow dog'' can be branded with
the party iron and be elected to an
Office of public trust. The crying
appeal Of "vote her straight" is but
q mere echo TO the vociferous OF.
pressions Of joy Of the American
people over their discovery Of an
Independence from the party whip.

TuberCular Trouble.
At the autopsy performed upon
the body of Prudie Scott, the
young lady who died 90 suddenly
at the Hotel Grangeville recently,
it was found that her death was q
natural one and all the wild ru.
mors which were so freely circulate
ed on the streets have been proven
utterly false and without any
foundation whatever. The exam
ination showed the deceased had
been great sufferer from tubercu-
lar trouble for some time and prac-
tically the entire right lung had
been destroyed by the ravages Of
the disease. II was evident from
the conditions the examination
brought to light that il she had
recovered from her recent illness it
would have been but temporary as
the disease had worked such in.
roads that ultimate recovery would
have been impossible.
The stomach was removed and
placed in q preservstive. It is now
in the possession Of DR.. Blake and

the corporation is now organized

ably secure way to set such saw

part. Toward the general diffu-
sion among the people of incor-
porated property both the Ma

thus far have been entirely diff

having invited settlers into some
fertile new region, the hand of
the States and Nation was at
once withdrawn, leaving the land
without law. 1t is indeed thou
sand times worse than that; for
such region would be small and
remote, while the region covered
by the corporations of the COun-
try Is bounded only by the Ma

at every mans door. At every
turn of the year we see some part
of this region of incorporated
property ravaged; during the past
few months we have seen IL deep

never thinking perhaps that 1t is
just on account of such ravages
and of the Indifference of our Ma

the country's richest property

from popular occupation-that
the whole institution of private
property is suffering shocks that
may eventually wreck It,"

been under contemplation for some
time and II was through one of the

The company will have under its man
agement a promotion department, a

insurance department. Each depart

Grmy man like Wilkinson, who was

by the assertion that while he took
the money he did not mean to give
Spain any equivalent for 1t. What

GR0SSCUP AND CORPORATION
EVILS.

While everybody is talking about
Roosevelt and his measure of respon-
sibility, 1t is worth while noting that
Judge Grosscup of Chicago has said,
in an address before gathering of
Republicans in indianapolis, that
President Roosevelt's campaign for
the destruction of Trusts has been of
little avail, If 1t be not complete
failure.
Judge GrossCup has become enough
of an authority on the subject of
curbing corporations to give him an
audience almost as large as the Pres
Gent's set speeches enjoy. And in
reading extracts from his address It
should be remembered that he be-
licvCs in the corporation. But he
believes in its regulation in man
ner to compel honesty of admins
tratiOn.
The Chicago Judge expresses the
conviction that during this, the
eighteenth, year of the Sherman An
Thrust Act the country is no nearer
bringing the corporation to a strict
accounting than it ever was. He
claims that all Roosevelt has done in
his campaign against the Trusts
could have been accomplished under
the common law. The Sherman law
and its various amendments is addi-
tional machinery and nothing more.
His exact words were:
"Injunctions have been issued

Japanese don't like the verdict of
the Kauai jury in the Lowell case. 1t
IL not entirely in line with the ideas
of many citizen observers. But 1t is
always well to bear in mind that the

tails, and the fellow outside becomes
acquainted with only the general
outline of the story. We believe the

IN deciding off-hand that race preju'
