no obligation on his part. In fact,
of being obliged to take the vicepresi-
dency when he had work to finish as
governor of New York.
When it came to the nomination for
a full term, the president had wisely
followed the footsteps Of his predeces-
sor, and the practical politicians,
while they profoundly distrusted him,
were unable to point to an overt act
of treason to the organization. The
president gave them all the rope they
could ask He did not pledge a dele

the president appears to have gotten
Mr. COrtelyou out Of it without letting
the SCOTS and Forakers in. When the
practical politicians, who go about to
lay snares for tenderfeet, look over
their record of achievements with the
president they find themselves in much
the situation of the Philistine lords
who bound Samson with strong withes
The practical politicians would like
to destroy Roosevelt, but they do not
seem to see that to destroy him it
is necessary to destroy public conf
dence in our public men. This is i'm

such powerful ones as Mark Hanna. Of

MAKING THE RIGHT START

Walla Walla's guests have come
and some of them have gone. Coming
they entertained beliefs of good time
and an Instructive visit Those not
too tired to go home left with an i'm
preston of the bigness and enterprise
Of Walla Walla such as they never
could have obtained at distance, or
under the ordinary forms of visiting.
They came to us half believing in our
future greatness. They leave as COM
plete converts.
No more flattering praise of local
hospitality could be had than in the
expressions of genuine admiration for
the manner in which the big banquet
was conducted and the visitors enter
tanned. The speeches were modern and
uptodate; the viands We're delectable
the liquids refreshing and the music
well selected. Even the vaudeville fea
ture was introduced in the impromptu

That great good will come of the

the shoulder to shoulder movement for
development of commerce and indus
tries cannot be gainsaid. The bring

DON'T BUY 1T.

There is still belief existing In
the minds OF those interested that the
city council will realize the mistake
which would be made in hastily pur-
chasing an expensive crematory. 1t
is to be hoped this belief will not
prove unfounded.
When is taken into consideration the
fact that Walla Walla has but three
garbage wagons; that they are able to
carry away all of the refuse and gar
bage: when is further considered the
fact that three wagons could not keep
a big garbage plant, such as is pro-
posed, busyq for more than an nour
each day the absurdity of the propo-
sition to expend so large a sum may
be fully realized.
Figures offered by men acquainted
with the needs of the city at the pres
ent time show that for 81 500 a brick
incinerator could be built by the city
which would more than dispose of the
could haul to it. For a city the size
of Walla Walla the cheaper plant
would be ample for all needs for years
to come.
No others know this so well as do
some of those counclmen. Yet they
would have the people believe they
are acting wisely in trying to hand to
a smooth concern $4,000 for some
thing that, so far as actual benefits
are concerned. is practically useless
luxury.
Save the money for next spring and
buy park-or several parks.
