There must be some motive other
than the desire to serve the dear peo-
pie that would impel men to take the
desperate measures that have been
taken by the present administration to
perpetuate themselves in office. We
do not believe for one minute that the
life of three petty saloons is all that
these men are fighting for, and it
would be we'll for the taxpayers to
know just what there is behind it all.
Let's see the books and have an ac.
counting, and know where all of Pull
mans dollars have gone.

No man who is in favor of the saloon
and a wide open policy need hesitate
in voting for the nCitizens" eandi-
dates. for if elected, they will be true
to their masters, and serve them
faithfully and well. The city treasury
will be open to further whatever is to
the interest of the saloon. The license
money will be returned to the dive
keeper with interest, and if this is
what the people OF this city desire and
vote for, those who so vote will have
no reason to complain of failure in
carrying out this policy, for to their
credit be it said that the "Citizens"
tikect makes no pretense other than
to serve we'll the interests of the sa-
loon.
On the other hand, the Law En-
forcement ticket stands pledged to
grant no saloon licenses, and to con-
duct public improvements in keeping
with the financial ability of the city.
No one will question the fact that if
this ticket is elected the saloons will
be put out of business in Pullman. The
issue is well defined. 1t is up to the
people to say whether the saloons shall
go or stay.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1907-11-23

The heaviest taxpayers of Pullman
are against the saloon. The largest
business houses are against it. Are
these men and establishments voting
ruin to themselves, or do they see that
it is a good business proposition? Ask
them and hear what they have to say.
If man wishes to vote for the saloon
he has a perfect right to do 80, no
matter who may be voting against
them, but it is not wise for him to
give as reason for doing so that it
would be good business principle,
when the best business men are voting
against the saloons for business rea-
sons.

The Citizens party has foisted a
debt of hundreds of dollars upon Pull
man in its attempt to Job the people
in the warding case. Afraid to do
things in the light of day, this nefar-
ious job was tried at the last possible
moment, unknown to the mayor and to
the public. In trying to force this IL
legal thing upon the people, the city s
money has been squandered, regardless
of the fact that the city was not made
a party to the case, but action was
brought against the clerk and other
officials as individuals, and they had
no right to tax the costs up to the
general public. The case was finally
appealed to the supreme court, not
that these jobbers expected to have
their action declared legal, but that
they hoped to so muddle things that
registration could not be held under
the legal ordinance, and that no cleo
ton would be held. Is it not time
that the rule of these wreckers was
over?

ALL OUT FOR BASKETBALL.

During the past week Coach Bender
and Captain RAIDER called out the bas-
ketball squad for practice and from the
looks of the material which answered
the call, the prospects for fast team
are very bright. Although only three
Varsity men of last years team are
in school, there is an abundance of
new material with which to fill the
vacant positions.
Among the most promising candi-
dates for center are Anderson, last
years Varsity center, and Calhoun,
from Kent Hi, who is showing up in
fine form. LAYER and Moulton are also
showing up we'll. For forwards, we
have Huxtable of the 1905 Varsity,
Barns, Lampson and Dalquist of last
years second team; Also Boone, Root
and Calhoun. Capt. RAIDER and Davis
are out for their old positions at guard
but have strong bunch against them
in Holcomb, Torpen, Patton, Berlin,
Newland and Myer. Although Capt.
RAIDER will be kept out of the game
for some time on account of the stock
Judging trip east, he will be back in
the game before any important games
are played.
Manager Davis is arranging good
schedule to be played here with U. of
l., Whitman and u. of o. He also
has planned trip into Central Wash
ington just before the Christmas vaca-
tion, playing at Spokane, Cheney, Ell
lensburg, North Yakima. and Roslyn.
1t is not definitely decided but the
prospects are very bright for trip
to Oregon about the first week of the
second semester.
Last year, for the first time, an in
terclass basketball tournament was
held. The games were all very close
and exciting and the gymnasium was
crowded on both evenings. The dates
for this years tournament are Nov.
20 and 80. On the first evening the
Freshmen will meet the Sophomores.
and the Juniors will battle with the
Seniors. On the second night the
winners of the previous evenings con-
test will settle the championship of
the campus. This year the contest
should prove very exciting for the Fac
ulty has promised to challenge the
winners of the class series.

On the second evening besides the
deciding game of the tournament, the
girls teams of the Freshman and
Sophomore classes will meet. Last
year the girls of the '09 class defeated
the los. but the los are after revenge
this year and the game promises to be
exciting. The gymnasium should be
crowded both evenings. Your class
has the best team so help them along.

There never has been and never will
be a public argument advanced to
show that the saloons are a financial
benefit to Pullman. Why? Because
no man with brain enough to formulate
an argument will expose himself to
ridicule by attempting the impossible.
Even the News has sense enough not
to attempt it.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1907-11-23

The local saloon organ is not con.
sistent. 1t says that the exoneration
of Kipp by the grand jury was COM
plete; but an indictment brought by
this same grand jury it characterizes
as unwarranted by facts and evidence.
But perhaps others may be just as
honest in the belief that the "exhon-
grafton" should go for what it is
worth, and that II men would not
bring an indictment unless there was
some fire behind the smoke.

A SQUARELY DRAWN ISSLE

For the first time in the history Of
Pullman the issue for and against the
saloon is clearly and Enthusiastically
drawn. In previous campaigns other
Issues were made paramount, or the
personnel of the tickets was a con-
trolling factor. This year the make
up of the respective tickets is all that
could be desired. The candidates of
the Citizens ticket are all tried and
true. and ably represent the saloon

Pullman, with all of its prosperity
and its saloon license money, is going
deeper into debt every year under
booze rule. The Herald will next
week publish figures compiled from
the city record, proving the truth of
this statement.

The names of residents of Potlatch,
Occur d'Alene, Albion, Whelan and
Winona are not as plentiful on our
registration books as they were last
year. The saloons may have the
" thousands for Defense" but the in
dividual voter don't like what goes
with it.

THE CALL OF THE STATE.

LIE OAl4lI Vt L IL T. > i n T..
Pullman is not, like other towns. a
local municipality. 1t is a town of
the state. The state has more than
twice the money invested here than
all the individuals and corporations,
residing here or owning property here
There are as many families interest ed
in Pullman who do not live here as
there are families who do live here.
There is not a parent in the state who
has boys or girls in college or who
intends sending them to college who
Is not interested in the municipal pol
icy of the city. The magnificent APP
preparation made last year was the
result of the influence of these parents
throughout the state, and not as a re-
suit of anything that the residents of
Pullman did.
Do the citizens of Pullman owe these
citizens of the state no duty? Are
their wishes and desires to be ignored?
Such thought would be ungrateful
indeed. What do these friends of
Pullman demand of us in regard to the
saloons? Do they demand that they
remain? No, not one of them, but
on the contrary, they unanimously de-
mand that they be abolished This is
evident from the fact that the Grange
unanimously voted against the saloon,
and other organized bodies have de-
clared themselves on the subject while
there has not been and never will be
any demand for their retention except,
perhaps. by the brewers and Wholesale
liquor dealers. How can we expect
to retain the good will and influence
of the people of the state if we DELHI
erately ignore their wishes? The
State College has a powerful Compel
itor in the State University at Seattle.
Alone Pullman is no match for Seattle,
but if we have the friendship of the
people throughout the state we can
depend on fair treatment at the hands
of the legislature. The state has de-
clared its position on the saloon Ques-
ton in its relation to educational
institutions by prohibiting saloons
within two miles of the University,
and it was only because the Legislature
thought it best to give the people of
Pullman chacne to vote the saloon
out of Pullman that five mile limit
was not fixed for the State College by
the legislature last winter.
Will the people of Pullman confess
to the state that they have not the
proper amount of appreciation of the
trust reposed in them by the state and
force the legislature to make us do
that which it is our duty to do? There
is not town in the state of the size
of Pullman, that would not willingly
and gladly put the saloons out if by so
doing they could secure the college, or
other state institution of equal import
ance. 1t is true that we have the
college. but it is equally true that
there must be adequate appropriation
made from time to time to make it
grow. The saloons exercise no influence
IN securing appropriations their in
tiuence is against education, but the
fathers and mothers of the state can
and do exercise a potent and controll-
ing influence in its behalf. Shall we
ignore the wishes of the parents OF
the state? Shall we turn a deaf ear t.
the call of the state? Let your ballot
answer on December Sd.

A Daylight Mine.

Jasper county is to have daylight
mine, one to which visitor, IN W be tax
eu to see the men carving out the rich
lead and zinc ore.
&. Nj. Shelton, of Joplin, owner of
the Ino mine, has some ground that is
difficult to hold, and in order to make it
safe for the miners to work there, he ex-
poets to take out the dirt from the bot
tom to the surface. An investigation
has shown that the dirt will average 8
per cent ore, and consequently the ex-
pense will not be great.
After the dirt is cut away so that one
can stand on The edge Of the abyss and
see the miners at work below, Mr.. Shell
ton proposes building an incline tram.
way from the bottom of the mine TO the
hopper, and along this incline steps
will be built 50 that those who desire
may enter the mine and study the work
ings with perfect safety. The work of
cutting away the dirt for the daylight
mine has already begun, but year will
pass probably before the property will
be ready for sight.seers.

SHUT Down THIS WEEK.
Many Plants Ran Last Week to Fill
Contracts.

While direct and prompt action was
taken Monday by three-fourths of the
producers of the Missouri-Kapsas min
ing district to cause shut down Of the
mints for n period of not less than four
weeks, the actual movement will not be
in fun effect until next week. Until
then no perceptible difference will be
noticed in the mining district.

compelled to run this week on account
of the filing Of orders contracted for be.
